Major policy shifts in immigration, taxes, trade, energy, health care, and pandemic-era programs passed under the Biden Administration look increasingly likely with Donald Trump capturing the White House and his fellow Republicans taking control of both houses of Congress for the first time in two years. Our panel of experts share their views on what this sea change may mean for the economy and Federal Reserve, as well as the impact on states, localities, and the $4 trillion municipal bond market, including the possible elimination of the federal tax exemption on most muni bond interest. Our panel of experts includes Torsten Slok, Partner and Chief Economist, Apollo Global Management; Annie Linskey, Wall Street Journal White House Reporter; Former US Representative Carolyn Bourdeaux (D-GA); Eric Kazatsky, Head of Municipal Strategy, Bloomberg LP; and Teryn Zmuda, Chief Research Officer and Chief Economist, National Association of Counties (NACo). Notable Quotes: “The short version of what's happening is that the economy is doing really well. GDP growth for the last two and a half years has continued to surprise from the upside. The big issue in financial markets and policymaking continues to be why did Fed hikes not slow the economy down more, why was GDP growth in the third quarter 2.8, and why is GDP growth in the fourth quarter, according to the Atlanta Fed, going to be 3.3.” - Torsten Slok “The primary program that they (the White House) are working on which impacts states and localities is getting money out of the door for the CHIPS Act. It was a $39 billion program, about $30 billion of that is tied up right now in complicated negotiations between the government and companies, and so the Biden administration is working very hard right now to get those negotiations finished.” - Annie Linskey “This brings me to the DOGE effort, and you have Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy out there pounding their chests about how they are going to make all these dramatic cuts. Well, most of us who have been around the block on budgeting know that it's really easy to do this in the abstract, but it is very hard to do it when you are actually putting programs on the line.” - Carolyn Bourdeaux “When we're thinking about the effects of any administration and talking about policy changes, cost cuts could really be cost shifts. Sometimes programs are cut but you do have to think how the effect of that is carried out throughout communities.” - Teryn Zmuda “Right now, state and local payrolls are at the highest levels they've been ever. We've had a 3% growth since the great financial crisis, and 2% growth since 2019. So, as efficiencies have come into the job market, technology has been embraced even by state and local governments, and payrolls has continued to expand.” - Eric Kazatsky Be sure to subscribe to Special Briefing to stay up to date on the world of public finance.

Most medical students at Johns Hopkins University will no longer pay tuition thanks to a $1 billion gift from Bloomberg Philanthropies. Starting in the fall, the donation will cover full tuition for medical students from families earning less than $300,000. Living expenses and fees will be covered for students from families who earn up to $175,000. Bloomberg Philanthropies said that currently almost two-thirds of all students seeking a doctor of medicine degree from Johns Hopkins qualify for financial aid, and 45% of the current class will also receive living expenses. The school estimates that graduates' average total loans will decrease from $104,000 currently to $60,279 by 2029. The gift will also increase financial aid for students at the university's schools of nursing, public health, and other graduate schools. "By reducing the financial barriers to these essential fields, we can free more students to pursue careers they're passionate about–and enable them to serve more of the families and communities who need them the most," Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies and Bloomberg LP, said in a statement. Bloomberg received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Johns Hopkins University in 1964. The gift will go to Johns Hopkins' endowment and every penny will go directly to students, said Ron Daniels, president of Johns Hopkins University.  "Mike has really been moved by the challenges that the professions confronted during the course of the pandemic and the heroic efforts they've made to protecting and providing care to American citizens during the pandemic," Daniels said in an interview. "I think he simply wanted to recognize the importance of these fields and provide this support to ensure that the best and brightest could attend medical school and the school of nursing and public health." Bloomberg Philanthropies previously gifted $1.8 billion to Johns Hopkins in 2018 to ensure that undergraduate students are accepted regardless of their family's income. Johns Hopkins will be the latest medical school to offer free tuition to most or all of their medical students. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Poland has some of the most toxic air in all of Europe, with 23 of the 50 most polluted cities in the European Union located in the country.Much of this air pollution comes from common household boilers that burn wood and coal. Emissions from cars and factories exacerbate poor air quality and lead to 40,000 deaths from pollution-related illnesses every year.Launched in 2015, Polish Smog Alert is a campaign group comprised of more than 50 local clean air initiatives dedicated to improving air quality in Poland. By increasing public awareness of the health impacts of air pollution and introducing anti-smog regulations at both the local and national levels, this movement has helped secure policy change that has improved air quality and public health across the country.In 2023, Polish Smog Alert was named an Earthshot Prize Finalist in the “Clean Our Air” category, and the group receives tailored support from the Prize's Global Alliance of partners to continue making a difference and driving urgent climate action.

On today's podcast: 1) Ohio voters enshrined abortion rights in their state's Constitution, a boon for Democrats running on the issue and complicating Republicans' approach to the 2024 elections. 2) Political polarization has helped make 2023 the biggest off-year for ballot measures in more than a decade in the US, 3) Israel said its troops have entered the middle of Gaza's main city, as they continue their operation against Hamas. 4) Two days after former President Donald Trump testified at his New York Fraud trial, it's his daughter Ivanka's turn to take the stand.    Full transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with last night's election results and a major victory for abortion rights in Ohio. Voters approved Issue one, which enshrines the right to abortion access in the state constitution, by a fifty six to forty four percent margin. Bloomberg Politics reporter Mark Niquette is in Ohio and has more It passed pretty overwhelmingly. And what's going to get a lot of attention is this past in what has become a Republican state. And it's clear that this issue passed even in counties that Donald Trump carried pretty handily in twenty twenty. Bloomberg's Mark Mniquette reports this makes Ohio the latest state to back abortion rights after last year's Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In the interest of transparency, we should note that Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg Radio parent Bloomberg LP, donated a million dollars to the campaign supporting Ohio's abortion rights amendment. Well Nathan, It was also a good night for Democrats in Virginia, with every seat in the state legislature up for grabs. Democrats won majorities in both the House of Delegates and the state Senate. It's a blow to Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin. He's seen as a presidential contender in twenty twenty eight and had hoped to pass a fifteen week abortion band with GOP control. And in another major race, Democrat Andy Basher has won a second term as governor of Kentucky, a state former President Donald Trump carried by nearly twenty five points in twenty twenty And In other political news, Karen Tonight, in Miami, Republicans hold their third presidential debate. Five candidates will take part. Ron De Santis, Sneaky Haley, Vivek Ramaswami, Tim Scott, and Chris Christy Well Nathan notably absent, will be GOP front runner Donald Trump. Two days after the former president testified at his New York fraud trial, it's his daughter, Ivanka's turn to take the stand, and Bloomberg's ad Baxter has the story. The trial issue is whether Donald Trump inflated the worth of his properties to lenders and other business dealings.

Parker won with seventy four percent of the vote. Another first in the nation's small estate, Democrat Gave Mmo defeated Republican Jerry Leonard to win Rhode Island's first congressional district seat and become that state's first black candidate to elect it to Congress. The journey of so many Rhode Islanders and their families is one of Britain, hard work, determination and resilience.

Based on questions for the bench, a majority of justices on the Supreme Court appear inclined to uphold a federal gun ban on people who are under restraining orders for domestic violence.

John Stanshleyer Bloomberg Sports from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam the Bloomberg Business app in Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. We want to get you no more results from last night's off off year elections. Abortion rights may have been officially on the ballot in just one state, but the issue may have driven voters in races beyond that state Ohio, and into Virginia and perhaps beyond for more. We're joined now by Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, good morning. It was a pretty overwhelming result for Issue one in Ohio. Does that results have residents into next year's election? Absolutely? I think for Democrats who have been really trying to get the party to focus on abortion rights, they're all seeing what they would call victories in Ohio, Kentucky and even Virginia last night, and I think they're going to say that that is a positive way forward for them looking into twenty twenty four after what is probably many would say has been a tough week looking at Paul showing President Biden perhaps lagging former President Trump in a number of the key swing states. So this is something I think, given the results last night, you're going to hear Democrats talking a lot more about in the coming months that abortion. I'm sorry. That result in Virginia in particular is pretty interesting because the Republican governor there, Glenn Youngkin, who's been talked about as a potential presidential candidate, not just in twenty twenty eight but this this cycle as well, had campaigned pretty hard on this idea that if Republicans took over the state legislature, that a fifteen week abortion ban could be passed in Virginia. What does this result for Democrats winning in Virginia mean for Youngkin's political prospects. Well, for Democrats, I think it's a big sigh of relief that the Virginia still came in I think on their side, and looks like both chambers are going to be in Democratic hands going into the going in the next year for Young Kin, I think it's going to be it's going to make that idea that he could be some sort of last minute candidate if for some reason Donald Trump is not in the race. It starts to rule that out. He has a much weaker hand facing Democrats in both chambers in terms of being able to get his policies passed and dominating the agenda. I think Democrats are going to try to set the tone once they take their seats. It does, you know, it's still I think the idea that Youngkin could could be a candidate in twenty twenty eight is also tested a little bit. It's so early to even be talking about that at this point. But if you're a potential yet we do. If you're a potential candidate looking that far ahead, you think about the agenda you want to set, the accomplishments, the legislative accomplishments you'd like to have. And I think this makes that a lot harder for someone like Governor Youngkin to plan out and game out ahead of that election. You know, almost five years from now. You mentioned Democrats potentially talking more about abortion rights into this election cycle. What about the economy, that's been an issue that this present has struggled to gain traction on. Does abortion override economic issues for voters in this election cycle? You know, that's the economy is often the deciding factor for a lot of voters going into the polling booth. I think there are definitely voters on both sides who would view abortions as the key issue, the biggest thing, the most important thing to them. But in the end, you know, I think the economy is often what swings voters either way, particularly those independent voters in the middle. If heading you know, in the months heading into November twenty twenty four, they're feeling better than they are now about the economy, that probably benefits the incumbent of the Biden administration. If they're feeling worse and there's a lot of signs that, you know, the economy could be struggling more next year than it is this year, then that makes it I think a harder slog for the president and his team to argue that they should remain in place. So it's the economy, you know, it's that Carville saying it's the economy stupid. I think that that's always going to be if not the biggest, one of the biggest factors. We know that voters right now are not very pleased with where things are, even if some of the numbers are perhaps better better than forecast. In the time we have left, Bill, I want to talk about geopolitics and the latest in the Israel Hamas war, with Israeli troops getting gaining ground in Gaza City and now the G seven commenting what's the latest. Yeah, so we heard from Israel, Israel's defense ministers today saying that their forces are now in the heart of Gaza City. You know, they've been they've kind of encircled Gaza at this point, and they say they're going after key Hamas leaders and trying to destroy some of the tunnel networks and the weapons depots that have been built up there. And the G seven coming out today, the foreign ministers coming out with a unified statement saying that there should be humanitarian pauses in the war. That's of course separate from a cease fire. But Israel, who's even pushed back on the idea of some of the pauses, saying that aid is getting in and any pause would only benefit Hamas. So lots of complicated politics going on there still.

The Chinese economy is facing one of its most significant tests in years. With real estate prices falling off a cliff, unemployment skyrocketing, and a currency crisis, Asia's largest economy could hit even harder times ahead. But this doesn't mean the rest of the world will remain unaffected. In the US, recession risks are starting to rise as hopes of a “soft landing” are gradually fading away. With inflation still rearing its ugly head and American households running out of cash savings, the worst could be yet to come. To give us a global view of the economy is Bloomberg LP's Chief US Economist, Anna Wong, who also served on the Federal Reserve Board, the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, and the US Treasury. Few people in the entire country have as good of a read on today's economic situation as Anna, so we spared no questions about what could happen next. Anna has some recession predictions that go against the grain of popular economic forecasts. From her data, the risk of a recession is far from over, and we could be heading into a shaky Q4 of 2023 and a dismal start to the new year. She details what could happen to inflation, unemployment rates, foreclosure risk, and why the Chinese economy's failures could have lasting effects back home. In This Episode We Cover: Why a “soft landing” looks unlikely as recession risks begin to rise again  Bankruptcies, delinquencies, and why American consumers are running out of time Recession forecasts and when the worst economic effects could hit  Deteriorating credit and why American home buyers are falling back into 2008 traps Chinese economic downfall and what's causing Asia's largest economy to crumble  Effects on the US and how a global recession could appreciate the dollar's worth  And So Much More!

Did you know that it could take up to 500 years for single-use plastic bottles to biodegrade in the ocean, according to estimates from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?What if the solution for more sustainable packaging also lies in the seas? Bloomberg Philanthropies is working to ensure the ocean, key marine ecosystems, and the billions who depend on them can survive and thrive through the Bloomberg Ocean Initiative.  Our guest today – Pierre Paslier – co-founded Notpla, short for "not plastic," a company on a mission to make packaging disappear. Based in London, the team creates alternative packaging made from seaweed and plants, ranging from a bubble that could replace plastic cups and bottles at sporting events, to single dose spheres of toothpaste and sustainable, biodegradable packaging for takeaway food. Since it started in 2019, Notpla has replaced almost 3 million units of single-use plastic from entering the environment.Notpla is a winner of the 2022 Earthshot Prize, a prestigious global environment prize launched by His Royal Highness Prince William to incentivize change and help repair our planet with innovative solutions by 2030. Our founder, Mike Bloomberg, serves as Global Advisor to the Winners of the Earthshot Prize, including Notpla, and Bloomberg Philanthropies - alongside Bloomberg LP - has supported The Earthshot Prize since its creation in 2019, as a Global Alliance Founding Partner. In fact, Bloomberg LP uses Notpla's sustainable packaging at its European headquarters in London.On this episode, Katherine Oliver sits down with Pierre. They discuss how he created Notpla with his co-founder and former classmate, Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez, how Notpla expanded from its first product to introduce packaging solutions for electronics, fashion, cosmetics and food, his experience with The Earthshot Prize, and how he's planning on using his prize money to expand Notpla's impact.

When Walmart went public in 1970 and soon thereafter listed on the New York Stock Exchange, its SEC disclosure prospectus was 20 pages long.  Today, a prospectus requires massive numbers of mostly obscure disclosures imposing very real liabilities for the issuing company - but which no one reads, except for lawyers who charge $2,000 an hour to read it and to write it - and which can run upwards to 300 pages or more.  Under President Joe Biden's whole of government effort to weaponize federal agencies, this regulatory creep has become an outright onslaught of new regulations. Except now it brings an overt political agenda to promote ESG and “equity” outcomes. Case in point is the SEC under Chairman Gary Gensler (who was Hillary Clinton Campaign's CFO), which has proposed 55 new rules and massive climate change disclosure requirements without any mandate from Congress. “Over the last two years, we've seen more rules than we've ever seen before,” explains my guest on this episode Chris Iacovella, “the amount of paper, the amount of costs that are being heaped on companies, not just in the financial services space, but in every sector of our economy, are far outweighing whatever good they are supposed to be doing.” Chris Iacovella is in a position to know. He is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Securities Association, and has deep expertise in the equity, fixed income, and derivatives markets, as well as growth capital and wealth management. Prior to becoming CEO of the ASA, he was the CEO of the Equity Dealers of America and Director of Global Government Affairs at Bloomberg LP.  “Gensler claims that he has to do this because investors are clamoring for this disclosure, but it's not investors that are clamoring for it. It's Wall Street asset managers, investment banks, and institutional investors who are pushing an ESG political agenda into the boardroom that they can't get through Congress.” This is just one of the many concerning issues we get into in this episode. Some others: The higher fees Wall Street charges for its ESG funds. Klaus Schwab (of the World Economic Forum) and his “stakeholder” capitalism and how Wall Street has adopted many of his views.  Public company security regulations seeping into private businesses. A long segment about how the Chinese have used the US capital markets to access to American capital and allowing them to fund their military and economic rise with our money. Something obscurely called the Consolidated Audit Trail where the SEC has decided to add to its surveillance capabilities, the ability to collect all of the personal and financial information of every investor who has a share of stock in our capital markets.  “Can you imagine if the SEC entered into a memorandum of understanding with the IRS? Then the government would have a true and complete picture of not only your securities holdings, but also any businesses that you might own that are private, any real estate that you may own. It's would be complete picture of what your wealth is.” There's a lot to unpack in this episode, but I think you'll find it worth your time.

In 2014, the Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg opened an exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London. His speech at the Pavilion, to about 300 people, urged us all to support the arts and true to his word, he has done just that. What I found most memorable about the speech was the ending  “Come to New York City” he said, “and if you want to have coffee or lunch, just call me, this is my number.” I did go there soon after, number in hand but never made that call, something I'll always regret. But here I am almost ten years later, having the coffee with Mike Bloomberg – founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies - ready to talk.  For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On Ruthie's Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks.  Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe's open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.

This is a very special episode. To celebrate the release of the 2021 Annual Report, our yearly review of Bloomberg Philanthropies' efforts to ensure better, longer lives for the greatest number of people, our founder, Mike Bloomberg, and CEO, Patti Harris, joined the podcast.  Mike Bloomberg has committed the vast majority of profits from Bloomberg LP, the global financial technology, data, and media company that he founded, to support the work of Bloomberg Philanthropies. He has given $12.7 billion to philanthropic causes over his lifetime, and $1.66 billion in 2021 alone.  Patti Harris oversees Bloomberg Philanthropies' work, spanning our core focus areas: the arts, education, environment, government innovation, and public health, as well as the Greenwood Initiative, which aims to accelerate the pace of Black wealth accumulation, and special Founder's Projects. This work also encompasses all of Mike Bloomberg's corporate and personal philanthropy, and Bloomberg Associates, a pro bono consultancy that works in cities around the world.  Mike and Patti sat down with me to discuss Bloomberg Philanthropies' progress in responding to the pandemic without losing sight of other challenges, Bloomberg LP's efforts to support organizations working in Ukraine, and their outlook on the challenges tackled and opportunities ahead. Read the 2021 Annual Report here. Follow Mike on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Follow Patti on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. 

In this Nomad Futurist podcast, Bill Skinner, Operations Services Manager at Bloomberg LP, shares a dynamic journey highlighted by a commitment to constant learning in the critical infrastructure space — a path that has led him to operationalize training programs at Bloomberg and serve as a data center evangelist within the tech community through his position as President of the NYC/NJ metro chapter of AFCOM. Skinner had a natural proclivity for tech from an early age. His first computer was a Tandy 500 which he tinkered with, broke, reassembled and improved. In high school he excelled at computers, studying programming languages and software development as well as electronics. “My dad said, ‘you're going into computers.'” After graduating college with an IT degree and despite the dot-com crash, he managed to get hired by Sun Microsystems supporting Bloomberg financial. He hit the ground running. At Sun he received intensive training in data center engineering, learning about hardware, and working on what at the time were supercomputers. “Where I really learned was on the job. I've always been able to jump in and learn new things.”  Skinner talks about his career evolution, how he gradually became aware of the myriad elements that make up the data center environment:  the servers, the racks, the power, the batteries, the cooling. He moved into middle management in Bloomberg's New York City data center and was tasked with transforming the siloed work culture. He asked workers to expand their remit and found that those that met the challenge excelled. “My passion is leadership at this point…really growing people and helping them succeed, growing the department.” Skinner talks about the importance of having ongoing conversations with technology vendors to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring that the right questions are being considered and the right issues addressed.   “You go out there and ask what's coming? What should we be learning? What should we be addressing? Never hire for what you need today, hire for what you need tomorrow.” He also highlights the importance of continuous training and how that has been incorporated as an ongoing process at his company where they have instituted weekly internal seminars to challenge their employees and help teams grow. Skinner also talks about his leadership involvement with AFCOM where he was instrumental in revitalizing the NYC/NJ metro chapter after superstorm Sandy flooded and disrupted much of lower Manhattan. As a strong believer in the power of collaboration and community, Skinner's focus for the organization stressed and continues to encourage education, networking, and the pooling of information. “Let's see how you're doing it. Are we doing it differently? Are you doing it better? Let's compare notes so this will help everyone!”   Bill Skinner has twenty years of experience in the Data Center and Technology Infrastructure environment and is currently Operations Services Manager for Bloomberg LP, managing a range of teams responsible for automating infrastructure services for the company's extensive engineering/developer community. During his 17-year tenure at Bloomberg, Skinner has managed data center facilities, developed new standards, processes, and technologies, and built and enabled highly successful IT teams.  Bill Skinner is a frequent speaker at industry events and is the President of the NY/NJ Chapter of AFCOM. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Plymouth State University. 

What does it take to get to net-zero and will we accomplish it fast enough? In the last episode of season two, Nathan speaks with Nat Bullard, Chief Content Officer at Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) on how he and the rest of the BNEF team are bringing the world closer to net-zero emissions by sharing information and insights.  BloombergNEF is a research group within Bloomberg LP. Their analytical services assess the tools, business models, and pathways for achieving a deep decarbonization of the global economy by mid-century. The group covers power, transportation, food and agriculture, the built environment, and the enabling technologies linking them together. C-suite executives, board members, and consultants are a small sample of the rapidly growing community of people who benefit from BloombergNEFs insights. Nat is a leading thinker in the global transition to a net-zero society. I use his work to help research this show. He is also one of the top thinkers around net zero topics like the  energy transition, electrification of transport, climate technology, and climate finance.  During the interview, Nat and I discuss art as a lens to understand climate and innovation, his journey into the world of climate, what he reads to inform his opinions and his process for turning ideas into insights. We discuss the importance of accuracy in Bloomberg's predictions and if the world decarbonizing fast enough to reach net-zero emissions in time to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
