Speaker 1: failed mutiny.
Speaker 2: CNN says it has the tape of former President Trump
Speaker 2: discussing secret documents, and.
Speaker 1: Jennet Yellen is the latest US official to head to China.
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court is expected to announce major decisions today.
Speaker 3: Plus New York City could start congestion pricing as soon

Speaker 5: That's all straight ahead on Bloomberg day Break, the Business
Speaker 5: news you need to starn your day in just one
Speaker 5: fifteen minute podcast each morning on Apples, Spotify, the Bloomberg
Speaker 5: Business app, and everywhere you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan.
Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're
Speaker 1: following today.
Speaker 2: First we begin with the latest on the rebellion in Russia.
Speaker 2: The criminal case has been closed against the Wagner group
Speaker 2: mercenaries who staged a failed mutiny against President Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 2: According to Russian media, authorities have dropped charges against Wagner
Speaker 2: leader You of Guinea Progosian, and others involved in the
Speaker 2: armed rebellion. This comes after Putin appeared on state television
Speaker 2: calling Wagner leaders traders who sought to divide the country.
Speaker 2: Here he is speaking through an interpreter.
Speaker 6: Deraghi Ruzia.
Speaker 7: Dear friends. Today I address once again all Russian citizens.
Speaker 7: I thank you for your endurance, solidarity and patriotism. Civil
Speaker 7: solidarities showed that any ransom, any attempts to organize internal
Speaker 7: unrest are doomed to fail.
Speaker 2: With President Putin did not mention Progosian by name, but
Speaker 2: he did say Wagner troops could either join the Russian
Speaker 2: Army or leave for Belarus. Russian media are reporting Wagner's
Speaker 2: preparing to hand over heavy weaponry to Russian army units.
Speaker 2: President Biden, meantime, says he's in touch with allies and advisors.
Speaker 2: Following the weekends, events.
Speaker 8: They agreed with me that we had to make sure
Speaker 8: we gave Putin no excuse.
Speaker 2: We gave Putin no excuse.
Speaker 8: To blame this on the West, to blame.
Speaker 5: This on NATO.
Speaker 2: President Biden says it's still too soon to draw conclusions
Speaker 2: on the impact of the revolt.
Speaker 1: Well Nathan analysts say Putin has been severely damaged by
Speaker 1: the uprising. We got up with a Bloomberg opinion columnist
Speaker 1: Andreas Klouth.
Speaker 9: He looked weak for a number of reasons. Number one,
Speaker 9: he promised to bring them immediately and swiftly to a
Speaker 9: harsh justice, and of course the opposite happened. Progosion gets
Speaker 9: to go to Belarus. And he compared the mutiny to
Speaker 9: nineteen seventeen. That's not smart because that was when the
Speaker 9: mutined against Uzar, who was subsequently executed in a war
Speaker 9: that was subsequently lost, just before Civil war. So that's
Speaker 9: the wrong message.
Speaker 1: And Bloomberger opinion columnist Andreas Kluth says Putin now appears
Speaker 1: to be damaged.
Speaker 2: Goods, Well, another major story we're following and brings us
Speaker 2: back to the US and the legal troubles facing Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: A leaked audio recording reportedly reveals the former president discussing
Speaker 2: classified material in his possession. Amy Morris has more from
Speaker 2: our Bloomberg ninety nine one newsroom in Washington.
Speaker 10: The audio recording, first obtained by CNN, comes from an
Speaker 10: interview Trump gave in twenty twenty one for people who
Speaker 10: were working on the memoir of Trump's former chief of
Speaker 10: Staff Mark Meadows. Bloomberg has not been able to independently
Speaker 10: verify the authenticity of the recording, where the former president
Speaker 10: has heard criticizing the Joint chiefs of Staff Chairman General
Speaker 10: Mark Milly. Referencing a document, Trump claims the Defense Department
Speaker 10: put together.
Speaker 8: This totally wins my case, you know, except it is
Speaker 8: highly this is secreted for it. Look look at this President.
Speaker 8: I could have died less than now I can't, you know.
Speaker 10: But this is Trump posted on his truth social platform
Speaker 10: that the tape was illegally leaked and claims it exonerates him.
Speaker 10: In Washington. I'm Amy Morris, Bloomberg daybreak.
Speaker 1: All right, Amy, thank you another news this morning. China's
Speaker 1: premiere is warning of what he calls deglobalization trends in
Speaker 1: the West. Lee Chi Yang, speaking through an interpreter, says
Speaker 1: economic issue should not be brought into the political sphere.
Speaker 11: Governments and relevant organizations should not overreach themselves. Still less,
Speaker 11: overstretch the concept of risk or turn it into an
Speaker 11: ideological tool.
Speaker 1: Lee Chi Yang made the comments of the World Economic
Speaker 1: Forum and the Chinese city of Tianjin.
Speaker 2: Meantime, US China relations remain in focus. Karen, we have
Speaker 2: word that another high level White House official is headed
Speaker 2: to China. Let's get the details from Bloomberg's John Tucker John.
Speaker 12: And Nathan Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen heads off to Beijing
Speaker 12: in early July. This is a continuation of the efforts
Speaker 12: to re engage with the world's second largest economy. Secretary
Speaker 12: of State Anthony Blincoln just wrapped up his trip to China.
Speaker 12: The timing a little awkward of Biden administration. Executive voter
Speaker 12: that would regulate and potentially cut off certain US investments
Speaker 12: in China is near in completion. Officials hope to have
Speaker 12: that ready after Yellen's trip. All sources say Yellen will
Speaker 12: meet with her new Chinese counterpart. She has said that
Speaker 12: the US will pursue policies to defend and the security
Speaker 12: and are not intended to hold China back.
Speaker 3: You Know York.
Speaker 12: I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg.
Speaker 1: Day Break, Right, John, thank you well. Turning to the
Speaker 1: markets now, we should expect more rate hikes from the Fed.
Speaker 1: That's the word for Morgan Stanley. Economists of the firm
Speaker 1: predict a quarter point increase of the July meeting. The
Speaker 1: forecast comes after Chair J. Powell of the Central Bank
Speaker 1: is not done with its aggressive hiking cycle just yet.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 2: Raiser and focus in Europe as well, Karen As top
Speaker 2: central bankers and policymakers gather in Portugal for the annual
Speaker 2: European Central Bank Forum. ECB President Christine Leaguard struck a
Speaker 2: hawkish tone in her opening speech this morning.
Speaker 5: It is unlikely that in the near future the Central
Speaker 5: Bank will be able to state with full confidence that
Speaker 5: the peak rates have indeed been reached.
Speaker 2: Christine Leguard says the ECB will probably raise rates again
Speaker 2: in July.
Speaker 1: We'll back here in the US, Nathan, there is word
Speaker 1: of more job cuts coming to Corporate America. Bloomberg News
Speaker 1: has learned Ford Motor plans to fire hundreds of salaried
Speaker 1: workers this week. We're told the cuts will primarily hit
Speaker 1: engineers at the automaker sources. Safe Ford is trying to
Speaker 1: boost profit and lower costs around its fifty billion dollars
Speaker 1: shift to electric vehicles.
Speaker 2: Time now to take a look at some of the
Speaker 2: other stories making news in New York and around the
Speaker 2: world with Bloomberg's Michael var Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Nathan. New York City is cleared for first
Speaker 3: in the nation congestion tolls as soon as April. The
Speaker 3: plan to charge motors driving into Midtown Manhattan receive final
Speaker 3: federal approval. The Federal Highway Administration determined that an environmental
Speaker 3: review of congestion pricing had no significant impacts. In a statement,
Speaker 3: New York Governor Kathy Hokals has congestion pricing will reduce
Speaker 3: traffic in our crowded downtown, improve air quality, and provide
Speaker 3: critical resources to the MTA. Easy Pass Motorists driving south
Speaker 3: of sixtieth Street may pay as much as twenty three
Speaker 3: dollars to enter the area. Some major decisions will be
Speaker 3: announced starting this morning before the Supreme Court takes its
Speaker 3: summer recess. The most high profile decision is on affirmative action.
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court will also rule on whether businesses can
Speaker 3: refuse to serve LGBTQ customers. Eastern Wisconsin is currently under
Speaker 3: an air quality advisory due to smoke from the hundreds
Speaker 3: of wildfires in Canada. Doctor Jeff Poth is with UW Health.
Speaker 6: The way that this air quality affects us is that
Speaker 6: these very fine particles, that these smoke particles, get into
Speaker 6: our lungs and our immune systems recognize them as foreign
Speaker 6: and then they start to attack them, and that creates
Speaker 6: inflammation and for a patient that may show up as wheezing,
Speaker 6: that may show up with a little bit of shortness
Speaker 6: of bread.
Speaker 3: New York City went through a similar incident earlier this
Speaker 3: month because of smoke from the wildfires. Four cases of
Speaker 3: malaria have been reported in Florida and one in Texas
Speaker 3: in the last two months. It is the first local
Speaker 3: spread of the disease in the US in twenty years.
Speaker 3: According to the CDC, malaria is caused by a parasite
Speaker 3: that spreads through mosquito bites. Doctor Seline Gounder is Editor
Speaker 3: at Large for Public Health at Kaiser Family Foundation.
Speaker 13: Doctors in the southeastern United States, where the weather is
Speaker 13: increasingly more hospitable to mosquitoes, should be aware that their
Speaker 13: patients could have malaria. The risk is higher where the
Speaker 13: local climate allows the mosquito that transmits malaria to survive
Speaker 13: most of the year.
Speaker 3: Doctor Gownder spoke to CBS. Former federal politician Olivia Chow
Speaker 3: will be Toronto's first Asian Canadian mayor after earning a
Speaker 3: narrow victory in yesterday's municipal election. Chow had the most
Speaker 3: votes with thirty seven percent. Global News twenty four hours

Speaker 4: lost that in a tiebreaker. Came out this year with
Speaker 4: a three hundred and fifty million dollars payroll in hopes
Speaker 4: of overtaking Atlanta. But here in late June, the Mets
Speaker 4: trailed the Braves by sixteen games. Another Met loss. That's
Speaker 4: one at City Field, beaten by Milwaukee two to one,
Speaker 4: as the Mets managed only three singles, wasted five scoreless
Speaker 4: sittings by Justin Verlander. The Brewers one on a two
Speaker 4: run homer in the sixth by Joey Weimer. It came
Speaker 4: off Drew Smith, just returned from his ten game suspension.

Speaker 5: Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, Bloomberg Business
Speaker 5: Appened Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager, and it is another morning
Speaker 2: of fast moving developments. Following the weekend mutiny attempt in Russia,
Speaker 2: prosecutors have closed their criminal case now against the Wagner
Speaker 2: Group and its leader, Yevgeny Pregosian. That's after President Vladimir
Speaker 2: Putin appeared on state television last night promised to respect
Speaker 2: a deal that would end the biggest threat to his
Speaker 2: nearly quarter century in power. For more on what's been
Speaker 2: happening since the weekend revolt, were joined by Bloomberg opinion
Speaker 2: columnist Andreas Kluth, who has written a recent piece on
Speaker 2: Putin's biggest mistakes in the Wagner Uprising. Andreas, it's good
Speaker 2: to speak with you this morning. It was just a
Speaker 2: couple of days ago. Of course, the President Putin was
Speaker 2: promising inevitable punishment for the Wagner mercenaries following that march
Speaker 2: toward Moscow. Now that charges have reportedly been dropped, is
Speaker 2: this resolution to the crisis.
Speaker 9: No, there's absolutely no resolution to anything in this crisis,
Speaker 9: and it'll go on for a long time. We just
Speaker 9: don't know how. But you know, that was one stunning,
Speaker 9: one of the stunning of U turns on Saturday. That
Speaker 9: happened almost like by the minute, by the half hour
Speaker 9: on that day, and slightly at a slower pace since
Speaker 9: I think it was one of the mistakes Putin made.
Speaker 11: He can't.
Speaker 9: He gave an address, he had to say something and
Speaker 9: tried to channel his own old strong man personality and says,
Speaker 9: these people will be held to account, their punishment will
Speaker 9: be inevitable and harsh and all of these things. And
Speaker 9: of course he's been on record many times before that's
Speaker 9: saying that. The one thing he will never forgive is betrayal.
Speaker 9: And he never named Progojin, but he said these people
Speaker 9: are betraying us. And then like a half hour later
Speaker 9: or something, it was revealed that Alexander Lukashenko, the little
Speaker 9: I call him the baby dictator. You know that the
Speaker 9: mini me next door or in Belarus made a deal
Speaker 9: or at least made the call, and that Pregosion will
Speaker 9: go to Belarus scot free. And that is of course
Speaker 9: a cognitive dissonance. That that is just one way that
Speaker 9: I think he he Putin signaled that he's no longer
Speaker 9: in control, he is no longer strong. If you promise,
Speaker 9: promise punishment but then don't deliver it, he could still
Speaker 9: deliver it. I'm not sure whether to trust is. By
Speaker 9: the way, you know a lot of people are saying
Speaker 9: Pregosion should be checking his underwork for Novochuk. I don't
Speaker 9: know if you get the joke, but you know, they
Speaker 9: could still be coming after him. But Progosion may have
Speaker 9: other plans as well. So but in general, I think
Speaker 9: that was one way in which other potential enemies of
Speaker 9: Putin will now say, hmm, maybe I'll hatch my plans.
Speaker 2: Well, what could those plans be if Progosion at this
Speaker 2: point is in Belarus right now, there are reports that
Speaker 2: Progosian's plane has landed there or whether he was actually
Speaker 2: on it. But what could Progosian do at this point?
Speaker 9: I just then I wasn't speaking about Progosian specifically, but
Speaker 9: I don't know. Here's another thing that's unclear. How many,
Speaker 9: if any, but I think how many of his mercenaries
Speaker 9: will go to Belarus with him? And then what role
Speaker 9: will they play? Will they still be if they don't,
Speaker 9: really like Putin recognize Belarus or Ukraine as a state,
Speaker 9: they think it's all part of greater Russia. Will they
Speaker 9: stay each other attacks into Ukraine from there? Will they
Speaker 9: point their weapons at Belarus or back at Russia or
Speaker 9: will they just do nothing? I think that is you
Speaker 9: can rule that out. So all of that is unclear.
Speaker 9: But remember that Putin will have other enemies who just
Speaker 9: haven't come out of the woodwork so far, because they're
Speaker 9: looking for signs of weakness.
Speaker 2: I guess there's the question as well about whether the
Speaker 2: Wagner troops, if they're folded into the Russian army, could
Speaker 2: contribute even further to instability. Is that something that's on
Speaker 2: your radar as well well.
Speaker 9: So the issue of instability in the Russian army is huge.
Speaker 9: I mean, so remember the Ukrainian counter attack is sort
Speaker 9: of underway one quarter. I would say they've been holding
Speaker 9: back the best trained troops with the most modern Leopard
Speaker 9: two tanks and all of that for a big push.
Speaker 9: And of course they're hoping, I mean, if this coup
Speaker 9: had or if this were calling it a mutiny, if
Speaker 9: this mutiny had continued, then it could be as in,
Speaker 9: you know, even Putin made this, you know, analogy to
Speaker 9: tooth nineteen seventeen in World War One, when Russian soldier's mutiny.
Speaker 9: They could have lost morale a little bit like last autumn,
Speaker 9: last fall, you know, and and there could have been
Speaker 9: disordered in the ranks. That would have been great for
Speaker 9: the Ukrainians. Now they're trying to incorporate all the private
Speaker 9: paramount military forces, but especially the Wagner group. That's what
Speaker 9: it's aimed for. And as you say, let's see what
Speaker 9: who knows what these Wagner mercenaries, including former convicts, what
Speaker 9: they'll do if they if they play nicely in the
Speaker 9: if they take orders from serve from Shoigu, the defense
Speaker 9: minister who was the number one enemy of pregoson their
Speaker 9: former boss. Will they still take orders from Pregosion?
Speaker 10: We don't know.
