1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Charlie Pellett. A federal judge has ruled that Alphabet's Google

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: does not have to sell its popular Chrome web browser.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: It is surprising because Judge Matter was in favor of

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: divesting Chrome, which is the key asset here that everyone

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: is looking at, and in this case, I think the

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: ruling clearly states that they're not required to divest Chrome.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: At the same time, there won't be any exclusive contracts,

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: so that means the Google Apple thing won't be at

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: least allowed anymore.

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's man Deep Singh. The ruling came in the Justice

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: departments landmark antitrust case against the search engine. Treasury Secretary

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Scott Besant is reportedly planning to start interviews on Friday

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: in search of a candidate to be the next chair

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: of the Federal Reserve. The Wall Street Journal says the

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: interview process will continue next week, adding that Besant will

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: be talking to candidates either in person or by video conference.

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Robert Kaplan is vice chair at Goldman Sachs. He's a

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: former Dallas Fed chief, and he spoke to Bloomberg from

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: the sidelines of the Goldman Sachs Asia Leaders Conference.

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: Jaypal's term as chairman ends in May, and so it

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: makes sense that they should start the interview process. I

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: think the main thing for the leader, the next leader

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 3: of the FED has to be somebody who has strong

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: grounding and economics and can make independent judgments about the economy.

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Robert Kaplan, former Dallas FED chief, speaking to Bloomberg following

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: the interviews, Bestent plans to recommend a finalist of candidates

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: to President Trump. FED Governor Lisa Cook's lawyer say President

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: Trump's move to Ouster is based on quote cut and

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: paced allegations relating to mortgage fraud. The House Oversight Committee

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: has released more than thirty three thousand pages of files

32
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: related to Jeffrey Epstein. CBS reports many of the documents

33
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: were already in the public domain. The release came as

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: lawmakers pressed the Trump administration to disclose more information on

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: the criminal probe into Epstein. Republican Congressman Thomas Massey of

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Kentucky says tomorrow some of those victims will speak publicly.

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: I haven't had time to look at all the documents

38
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 4: that have been released by the Oversight Committee, but I

39
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: think the scope of their investigation is such that the

40
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: things they requested aren't even going to include all the

41
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 4: things that we need, and the few documents that we

42
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 4: have been able to view are heavily redacted to the

43
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 4: degree that they wouldn't show us anything new.

44
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Republican Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky. President Trump says his

45
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: administration will ask the US Supreme Court for an expedited

46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: ruling to overturn a federal appeals court ruling that found

47
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: many of his tariffs are illegal.

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: We are leading very substantially with AI. We're leading because

49
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 5: of tariffs. We're leading because of talent, and this is

50
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: where they'd like to be. But without the tariffs, we

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: wouldn't have a chance because we wouldn't be able to

52
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 5: protect those investments of the companies coming in. So if

53
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: you took away tariffs, we could end up being a

54
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 5: third world country.

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Republican Senator Joni Earnst of Iowa says she will not

56
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: seek reelection, officially opening a key Senate battleground ahead of

57
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six midterms. She made the announcement in a

58
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: video message.

59
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 6: Having been raised in a family who has given me

60
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 6: so much love and support. Now as our family ages

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 6: and grows. It's my time for me to give back

62
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 6: to them. After a tremendous amount of prayer and reflection,

63
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 6: I will not be seeking reelection in twenty twenty six.

64
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 6: This was no easy decision. I love my state and country.

65
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: Apple's lead AI researcher for robotics has left the company

66
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: to join me a platform's competing effort, part of an

67
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: exodus of AI talent from the iPhone maker. Bloomberg's Mark

68
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Grumman says there are a few reasons for these departures, including.

69
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 7: Apple has been seriously contemplating moving away from in house

70
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 7: model technology for some of its products and using more

71
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 7: from companies like Google or Anthropic or open Ai, and

72
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 7: the LM researchers at Apple some of them think they're

73
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 7: seeing the writing on the wall and maybe it's time

74
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 7: to get out of there before Apple really reduces the

75
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 7: use of their technologies. Of course, internally, Apple has denied

76
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 7: the idea that they're going to move.

77
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: Away, Bloomberg's Mark Grumman. A jury in Los Angeles finds

78
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: rapper Cardi B not liable for assault, battery or emotional distress,

79
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: awarding zero damages to the security guard who filed a

80
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: civil lawsuit against the artists. Immani Ellis alleges that Carti

81
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: assaulted her at a Beverly Hills medical building in twenty eighteen.

82
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Cardi always maintained her innocence and spoke to reporters outside

83
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: the courthouse this.

84
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,600

00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 6: try to do a frivolous lawsuit against me. I'm going

86
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,680
