1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,519
Speaker 1: Doug Prisner. It is day fifteen of the US government shutdown,

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: and the Trump administration has been using this as an

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to terminate federal workers. Last Friday, more than forty

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: one hundred employees of the federal government at nearly a

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: half dozen agencies were fired, and earlier today, the White

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: House Budget Director Russell Vote said more than ten thousand

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: federal workers would be let go during the shutdown. However,

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: today in San Francisco, a federal judge ordered the Trump

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: administration to pause those plans. Here is Bloomberg's Laura Davison.

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: So it means that federal agencies right now have to

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: stop and hold all the plans for the firings that

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: took place last week. So that means that those people

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: will be able to keep their jobs for now, and

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: that any future rounds of firings, as the White House

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: suggested yesterday is coming, will also be halted. This is

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: just a temporary block. As you mentioned, they are just

18
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: paused and there will be a decision to come later

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: on the merits of the case about whether these can proceed.

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg's Laura Davison. Time House Minority Leader Hakim

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: Jeffries said Democrats are ready to negotiate to find a

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: bipartisan solution to reopening the government.

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: It's time to extend the Affordable Care AC tax credits.

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: It's time to prevent tens of millions of Americans from

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: experiencing dramatically increased healthcare premiums.

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: That is, House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries. US Treasury Secretary

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: Scott Besson proposed extending the pause on higher US tariffs

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: for Chinese goods. Besson said it would be done in

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: exchange for Beijing putting off its recently announced plan to

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: tighten limits on rare earth elements. These minerals are critical

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: to many industries. Here's Bessen.

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: Right now, we are currently in a ninety day role

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 4: on the tariffs. So is it possible that we could

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: go to a longer role in return for a delay. Perhaps,

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 4: But all that's going to be negotiated in the coming week.

36
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: And at the same time today, US Trade Rep. Jamison

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Greer cast doubt that Beijing would go ahead with its plan.

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: Greer said it would choke off trade in a wide

39
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: variety of consumer products that even contain a trace of

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: rare earths.

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 5: Since many important semiconductors, for example, have these critical minerals

42
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: and semi conductors are in nearly everything, this rule gives

43
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 5: China control over basically the entire global economy and the

44
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 5: technology supply chain.

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Now, the escalation in this tit for tat war between

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: the US and China has renewed fear of a full

47
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: blown trade war. President Trump says his administration would look

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: to San Francisco as the next target for his federal

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: crime crackdown. We have more from Bloomberg's Amy Morris and Washington.

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 6: Critics have accused President Trump of exaggerating the criminal threat

51
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 6: as he sends military personnel and federal law enforcement to

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 6: major cities across the country, targeting crime and countering demonstrations

53
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 6: against deportations. Now the President is focusing on San Francisco.

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: Be strongly recommending, at the request of government officials, which

55
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 3: is always nice, that you start looking at San Francisco.

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 6: I think we can make San Francisco. There's one of

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 6: our great cities. Ten years ago, fifteen years ago.

58
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: Now it's a mess.

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 6: No word on windows deployments might happen in Washington anymore.

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 6: As Bloomberg Radio.

61
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: After the bell. United Airlines reported better than expected earnings

62
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: for the third quarter, and the carrier is expecting brand

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: loyal flyers as well as demand for its premium seats

64
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: to drive profit through the end of the year. United

65
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: predicted full year results at the upper end of its guidance.

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: Here is Bloomberg Sidarth Philip.

67
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 7: They've been upgrading the passenger in flight experience, so they've

68
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 7: been sort of spending on lounges. They've also been spending

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 7: on cabins and like, essentially upgrading seats, adding more business

70
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 7: class onto planes and making better business class seats as

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 7: well as improving I mean, we had the United CEO

72
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 7: a couple of weeks ago talking about how they investing

73
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 7: in food and beverage, some sort of investing a lot

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 7: of money in flight catering and making that a better experience.

75
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 7: So there is a lot of money that's going in.

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: That is Bloomberg Sedarth Phillip. New York City Mayor Eric

77
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: Adams says he's received an amazing job offer after he

78
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: leaves City Hall this year. We are told Adams made

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: the comment in a meeting with more than two hundred

80
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: participants from across New York City government. Adams also said

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: there could be more than one offer and that the

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: job would amount to an opportunity of a lifetime, second

83
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: only to running New York City. Adams quit his reelection

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: bid last month after polling indicated he was in last

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: place among the main candidates. We go to Sports Next

86
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: and the MLB Championship Series. In Game three of the

87
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: American League Pennant Race, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners thirteen to four. Seattle holds the lead in

89
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: this series two games to one. And that is news

90
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Doug

91
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,720
