Podcast appearances and mentions of Chuck Schumer

Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could -every day-  fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— James Comer and Jim Jordan are ready to use the Democratic powerplays and subpoenas against Hunter Biden—for snubbing Congressional subpoenas—this is going to be hard to explain after Steve Bannon's treatment—   Number Two— Democrats and Republicans joined together yesterday—to kill a Climate Change EV mandate from Joe Biden—and telling Americans—You DO NOT have to buy an electric car!   Number Three— It feels like we are staring into the abyss more and more doesn't it?   I mean, I hear people say it more often—they feel like the world is going to hell—and they feel helpless to stop it from happening—   They know what they are seeing—AND yet they are told they are wrong—and they know they are being lied to—all the time, and they are sick of it—   Joe Biden is lying to us—about Bidenomics, the economy in general, border security, Ukraine's alleged success in its war with Russia, green energy, EV's and I could go on—   Alejandro Mayorkis lies daily about the situation at the border—he lies to Congress and therefore all of us when he keeps saying the border is secure—when we have had millions of people flood the country in just the last 3 years—almost 2 million are gotaways—meaning we don't even know who they are—BUT Mayorkis keeps repeating the same tired lines about how border security is “the President's top priority” and that our border is secure— when we ALL know that is a lie—   John Kerry flies all over the world to lie about climate change—which is weird—considering he wants us all to ride donkeys—or maybe we should walk, I am sure donkeys fart too much and therefore are destroying the planet too—   Kerry claims that climate change will make the ice in the arctic vanish and cause sea levels to rise—of course he has been spreading that lie for decades now—I mean he lied and told us there would be no ice up there in the summer by 2014—almost ten years ago—   Al Gore pushes those same Green New Lies—   They lie and tell you its America's fault that the world is on the verge of not just Global Warming—BUT Global boiling—and of course its all lies—   Hillary Clinton just pulled the number 500,000 right out of the World Health Organizations rectum—claiming that that many people die from excessive heat each year—another lie—and we already know that 9 times as many people die from the cold on this planet—BUT they can't seem to tell the truth about such things—   We hear Chuck Schumer lie about the Second Amendment—claiming falsely that banning assault weapons has proven to stop gun deaths, mass shootings and gun violence in general —BUT that is just another blatant lie—that is NOT supported by the facts and the statistics—   We hear Republicans and Democrats lie about how Ukraine is winning the war—and if we just fork over a few hundred billion more dollars—that they will magically beat the Russian army—   Bob Menendez lies about the Gold Bars, transgender activists lie about biology, socialists-marxists and outright communists lie about the US Constitution and the global success of free market capitalism—   I mean we could do this all day—   BUT don't worry, the government is ready to save you from all of this lying—by implementing agencies at the UN, the Hague and in Washington among other places to make sure the internet at least is protected from misinformation and disinformation—   They will be the guardians of truth!   Yes, world governments are ready to implement their agencies of truth—and they will be able to tell you good citizens of the world what you should actually believe—and anyone who says otherwise is, well, lying of course! And they will be held accountable by the state!   If you don't think so—if you don't think this could happen in the Western world and certainly not in America—well you need to pay attention— Because in Ireland, the government agents are standing by to delete, silence and censor anything they deem to be untrue—and as we have already seen—they certainly know the difference between what is true and what is not—at least that's what they claim—WHILE LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH ALL DAY LONG!!!   So, lets take a look at some of the things that are pretty clearly on the list of blatant lies—   I guess he is trying to flip the script there—BUT I am pretty sure most Americans are on to that act—Joey gets angry and puffs up his scrawny chest before shuffling out of the room for warm milk and cookies—and another mood enhancer of some kind—   I mean you don't really think he can get through the day without complex management of his mind and body through chemistry do you? No, of course not!   Ah yes, puffing out his chest—he's been doing that for a long time—I mean, he is not a very bright man, lets just be up front about that—so when he gets challenged—he tries to play Mr. tough guy! Its very impressive as I recall—    And lately—they don't care as we have seen— they will just lie and lie and lie—   I mean just this week FBI Director Christopher Wray told the US Senate he just could not clear up the big lie—that Hunter Bidens laptop was Russian disinformation—when everyone at every single US intelligence agency knew that was a lie—   In another hearing—Democrats were suggesting that allowing men to pretend they are women—is somehow the way title 9 is supposed to work—newsflash, its not—no, its just another lie—   And how bold are they?    But all of these lies—well they can't go on forever—and at some point they will be challenged—by the one honest reporter you find from time to time—or someone from the other team that gets to argue a few important points—    Even your close friends and your fixers will not be able to cover your tracks anymore—you see, if you go too far and lie too much—well you might just find out, people do have limits—

In an interview with Sean Hannity, Donald Trump said if elected, he'd take over day one and close the border and start drilling for oil. Despite saying he'd only be dictator “for a day,” he's absolutely right. Securing the border and energy independence are vital to American prosperity. AOC believes keeping men out of women's sports would lead to little girls having their genitals examined to compete in sporting events. Apparently, in her world, you can't tell the difference between men and women. Riley Gaines called Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) a misogynist after Lee called her transphobic for trying to keep women's sports for women. Ivy League presidents refused to condemn genocidal language aimed at Jewish students on campus by saying it depends on context. In what context is that type of message appropriate? Chuck Schumer called Thomas Massie anti-Semitic for sharing a meme, and a Philadelphia children's hospital worker said she was “proud” of the Hamas attacks.

On Wednesday, Senator Chuck Schumer spoke strongly and directly to the country, and many of his colleagues, amid a sharp rise in antisemitism. Warning those on the left to not abet in the harassment and attacks against Jewish people, Senator Schumer asked allies to condemn the antisemitism and make a clear vow of support for Israel in their war. While Schumer's remarks were clear, President Biden has been all over the map on this issue. And none of it seems to be helping his poll numbers as he continues to hit new lows within his party and with independents. All of this overshadows some new developments in the GOP primary for President - with more debates coming quickly. Are we simply bound for Trump v. Biden 2.0? Sure seems like it... All that and a special announcement from Kevin - listen to Flyover Country now!

On today's podcast: 1) Henry Kissinger, the child refugee who rose to become US secretary of state and defined American foreign policy during the 1970s with his strategies to end the Vietnam War and contain communist countries, has died. He was 100. 2) Israel and Hamas agreed to lengthen their truce for at least another day, allowing for the release of more hostages held by the militant group in Gaza. 3) Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, says the advertisers that have stopped spending on the platform due to his endorsement of an antisemitic post can “f——” themselves.   Full transcript:  Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the passing of a man who defined foreign policy in the nineteen seventies and worked to shape it for decades. After Henry Kissinger has died, Bloomberg political contributor Rick Davis says Kissinger's influence was unmatched. It's quite a career that lasted my entire life. I would say that we've not seen much of the likes of him, somebody who has never been elected to office, but wielded as much power as any powerful president or prime minister in the world. Kissinger was credited with opening the door to China and achieving detente with the Soviet Union, but he courted controversy for supporting massive bombing campaigns in Vietnam and Cambodia. Bloomberg's Ian Marlow says Kissinger leaves a complicated legacy around the world, in Asia in the Middle East. Could be a polarizing figure, but I think that was in part because he embodied that sort of American power. He was one of the people at the center of American power, and over a long period of time when the US role in the world was also changing, and it is to some extent and end of an era, and that era continued right to the end. This past July. In fact, Henry Kissinger met with Chinese President Shi Jinping in Beijing to discuss US China relations. Henry Kissinger died yesterday at his home in Connecticut. He was one hundred years old, and Nathan we turn out to breaking developments in the Middle East, Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their truce for at least another day. The two sides announced the extension just minutes before their ceasefire was due to end. Head of the announcement, Secretary of State Anthony BLNCN explained what he hopes to achieve during his visit to the region. We'll discuss with Israel how it can achieve its objective of ensuring that the terrorist attacks of October seventh never happen again, while sustaining an increasing amount of train assistance and minimizing further suffering and casualties among Palestine civilians and Secretary of State Blincoln is currently in Tel Aviv for his third visit since the attacks. He will also visit the West Bank, the visit comes as more captives were exchange yesterday evening, with ten hostages released by Hamas in exchange for thirty Palestinians held by Israel. And back here in the US, Karen House Speaker Mike Johnson says he has real reservations about expelling Congressman George Santos. We get that story from Bloomberg's At Baxter, the resolution says the vote needs to happen today, but Speaker Johnson says, for him, there are some real problems here. I personally have real reservations about doing this. I'm concerned about a president than may be set for that. So where everybody's working through that and we'll see how they vote. Sados will be the first expulsion without a conviction on charges. Johnson at one point yesterday said the vote would come Friday, but the resolution does say today, so we'll see how it works out. At Baxter Bloomberg Radio, All right, ed, Thanks well. Elon Musk is talking about the future of ex following and advertising boy and we get the latest from Bloomberg's John Tucker. John what the boycott is going to do mus says is kill the company, and who does he blame? Well, not himself, but the advertisers he herald in an expletive their way, saying they can go bleep themselves. Those advertisers include Walt Disney and Apple. Earlier this month, Musk agreed with a post that said Jewish people hold a dialectical hatred of white people. Well, that message has since drawn widespread criticism. On stage at the New York Times Deal Book conference, must did say the post was the worst and dumbest he's ever done. Mustourage people to judge him by his actions rather than his words. He brought up his electric car company, Tesla, saying he's done more for the environment than any human. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio. All right, John, thank you. Now, let's take a look at some stocks on the move this morning. Shares of Salesforce are up nearly nine percent. The San Francisco based software company gave a profit forecast for the current quarter. The top D analyst estamates Salesforce is benefiting from its cost cutting program. Meanwhile, Nathan Snowflake is up about eight and a half percent. The company gave a product sales outlook for the current quarter that beat expectations. That's fueling hope that revenue is stabilized after the software and maker experienced a dramatic slowdown in growth during the past year. Turning to the economy, differing views on inflation from two Federal Reserve Regional Bank presidents. Atlanta FED president Rafael Bostik says he's growing increasingly confident that inflation is firmly on a downward path. On the other hand, Richmond FED chief Thomas Barkins tell CNBC he's not yet convinced. There's no precision that anyone can point to at exactly what is the level of rates that exactly handles inflation and exactly the way you want to handle it, and so you're constantly trying to adjust on the flot. Both Thomas Barkin and Rafael Bostik will be voting members of the FOMC next year. Well. In corporate news, Nathan Online, a job search company, Indeed is canceling the monthly mental health days it introduced during the pandemic. Can we get this story from Bloomberg's Ellie Pellett. It joins a growing group of firms pairing back benefits they rushed to provide during the COVID nineteen crisis. Indeed initiated so called you Days in June of twenty twenty, giving all employees the same day off each month out of time when exhausted staff were taking fewer vacation days because of travel restrictions. Three years later, employees are once again booking time off at a similar rate to before the pandemic, so the company said quote. As a result, we have agreed that the global need for you days has passed. In New York, Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio and Charlie, we just got inflation data from the Eurozone. It cooled more than expected. Consumer prices rose two point four percent from a year ago in November. That was down from two point nine percent the previous month and less than all estimates of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Sorry, Nathan, Thanks, It's time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joal by Bloomberg's Amy Morris Say good morning, Good morning, Karen Ultra. Conservatives in the House of Representatives have now softened their demands for deep spending cuts to domestic programs, heightening the odds that two parties can reach a spending agreement and avert of partial government shutdown in January. The shift came after the House failed to pass bills at the lower spending levels demanded by the House random Caucus. They've been pushing for one hundred twenty billion dollars in cuts. This softer stance gives House Speaker Johnson Moore a room to negotiate a bipartisan spending bill, as senators from both parties want to add fourteen billion dollars in spending by designating it an emergency not subject to that cap. As lawmakers consider an aid package to Israel, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is issuing a warning. Bloomberg's at Nancy Lyons has that part of the story. Senator Schumer, who is the highest ranking Jewish elected official in the country, spent forty five minutes on the Senate floor to crying the rise in anti Semitism at a level not seen in decades. The normalization and excusation of this rise and hate is the danger many Jewish people fear most. The Anti Defamation League says anti Semitic incidents of nearly quadrupled since the onset of the Israel Hamas War. Schumer says It's time for a clear throated denouncement of the hate in Washington, Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio and that new poll shows the number of college students experiencing or witnessing anti semitism is also up this academic year. That poll by the Jewish led Anti Defamation League and Hillel International found that nearly three in four Jewish students and forty four percent of non Jewish students saw or experienced anti Jewish ideas since the start of the twenty three to twenty four school year. A very special holiday display. Now at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House South Lawn has an ice skating rink to celebrate the holidays. First Lady Jill Biden unveiled the rink with skating performances from figure skaters and Peanuts characters. What's more magical and wonderful and joyful then, you know, being on an ice rink in the South one of the White House. Who knew right A, Military, families, first responders, and other special invited guests can enjoy the White House skating rink in December. It will not be open to the public. Global News twenty four hours a day, and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morrison. This is Bloomberg Karen right, Amy, Thank you well. We bring you news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But now you can get the latest news on demand whenever you want it. Subscribe to Bloomberg News Now to get the latest headlines at the click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com plus apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update. Here's John stash Hour John Daron upset in college basketball. They stormed the court in Fayetteville after Arkansas and opt off seventh rank Duke eighty to seventy five North Carolina ranked seventeen, put up sixty one points in the first half in Chapel Hill and beat tenth thrank Tennessee one hundred and ninety two. So they split fourteen games in the acc SEC Challenge over the previous two nights. They both won seven times. A couple of bad teams at the NBA's Eastern Conference, the Pistons the Wizards. They played the other night. Washington won, but the Wizards lost in Orlando, won thirty nine to one twenty. The Magic thirteen and five on the

omies. Let's say, at some basis for some cooperative action to wills, Bill Slide hid a catastrophe. Comfortable do will do a one And Henry Kissinger worked to head off that catastrophe. After reaching his hundredth birthday this year, when President Biden sent cabinet secretaries to Beijing to try to stabilize relations, the one US diplomat that Chinese President Shi Jinping met face to face this summer was the man who he called an old friend to China, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. And for more, we are joined from Singapore by Bloomberg News Managing editor Derek Wallbank. A mixed legacy, Derek, but an undeniable legacy at the same time. I think that's exactly right. An. I think you did a brilliant job setting this up and there when when we're talking about the reaction, especially out here, I think the the polarity of feedback has been striking today. You know, Kissinger was a sort of person that in some corners of the world was a lionized statesman, and some other corners in the world, uh, they considered him an absolute scoundrel. And and and there's not really a giant a mix of those right now, certainly through Asia hours and you're you're talking about somebody who in Singapore was was somebody that that foreign ministers would would make pilgrimage to his apartment in New York City. Every time that there was a UN General Assembly meeting China. You saw that you mentioned the reaction from Xi jianpingg He's Uh. Kissinger was described as an old friend of the Chinese people's there's a mournful reaction from from China at the same time. Uh. This is somebody who throughout parts of Southeast Asia, UH, particularly Cambodia, allows Vietnam, et cetera. You know, Indonesia, parts of team or less. It's like it is not held in anywhere the same sort of thing. It's a very polarizing person, but certainly somebody who had I think it is unanimous to say a titanic effect on the world in which he lived, no doubt, and to you put it into the context of where US China relations stand now. I think it'd gotten a little bit better since the low that we saw after the alleged spy balloon incident back in February. But talk a little bit more about the impact that Henry Kissinger tried to wield even up to the end, as President Biden was trying to put US China relations sort of back on the rails. I think one of the most notable things sitting here as as we closely have tracked the decline in relationships between the two superpowers, is how Henry Kissinger always seemed to be the one American who could get a meeting with anyone he wanted in China. I mean anybody he wanted. I saw in Chinese state media today retrospectives of here was Henry Kissinger visiting it this year, and then two years later, and then three years later, and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Gotten down the line, he met with anybody he wanted, He met any time he wanted, and senior, senior Chinese folks would would go to him, would would want to talk to him to get a sense of where the things were in the United States, and vice versa. You know, he was a counselor to presidents of his party or not, people who agreed with him or not. He was seen as this respected voice that when he was in the room, people felt like they needed to listen to on both sides of this relationship, because as they say, he was so respected in China, and in these days you find somebody who who is you know, who is American, who has deeptised in the American state, who who is that respected in China is It's a very very small list, right, and Henry Kissingtram might have been right at the top of that list. Well, we think about the passing of a former Secretary of State who saw the world as it is. We have a current Secretary of State, Anthony Blincoln, who is back in a part of the world that is as restive as anywhere else in the Middle East. Let's talk a little bit about the latest that's happening in the conflict between Israel and Hamas and the influence the Secretary of State Blincoln is trying to have as this tenuous ceasefire continues. Yeah, and the thing that I think everybody's waiting for is to see how long this ceasefire will go. It was supposed to expire at seven am local time Thursday. It got extended for another day. I mean the announcement here just minutes before that ceasefire was due to end. There had been reports of small violations here and there of things. We have seen a steady drip drip of hostage releases. But it's a very very tenuous. I don't even want to use the word piece. It's a very it's a very tenuous pause. Let's go with pause, because a pause implies that the play button is back. It is also on the table that the restart could be coming soon. So I think that's the question. How much progress are we getting here? You do see the United States trying to play in here. I think I think the Biden administration is politically finding itself in a in a in a tough spot. They are trying to have some guardrails that they're trying to communicate to the Israelis. At the same time, you know, the the US is permissioning I if I can use that word, they're they're certainly you know, they're they're they're certainly Israel's biggest friend on the world stage. Right. So so that's a little bit of a difficult position that the Biden administration is trying to tread a little bit carefully. But they are trying to influence, uh, what's what's going on in that in that part of the world, and they have a lot of place to play. At the same time, you see countries like Egypt, countries like Cats are trying to you know, trying to influence Maybe they might be more simply sympathetic to other sides than the US administration might be, but all sort of trying to find and feel a way out of this so that it doesn't conflagrate more. All the while, also, it should be said, trying to keep nation states that are currently mostly on the side on the side. And I'm thinking here of countries like Iran to prevent this from escalating into something even more than it is right now. It's certainly a touch and go sort of thing right now. And I do as I say, I think, I think it carries some political risk. I mean, look, we're we're we're less than twelve months out from the US presidential election, and a lot of the people who are protesting in the streets in the United States are people who you would find in a normal Democratic coalition who are deeply upset with the president right now and vowing not to vote for him in any circumstance. Right that's a part, that's a group of people he needs to come out for him next year, and so it's a very very delicate ballot. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast. Feed at six am Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa Play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, seriusxmb iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

Today we talk about Chuck Schumer’s bold Senate-floor speech warning about anti-Semitism from the left. He said the right words at the right time, but how will it impact the calls from his own party to condition aid to Israel? And what’s up with Joe Biden’s tweet seeming to nod toward the ceasefire crowd? Give […]

But, but, but! We were so nice to the terrorists! We were so accommodating and inclusive! Guess what? They don't care. Never did. Chuck Schumer finally realizes this in an embarrassing audio clip. And as always, Howie reacts to the Chump Line!

Did you read that title as "The Tim Scott Crowd-Surfed"? That would be an even better story. As it is, you get my story about doing that after a full-throated rant about Sen. Schumer, some talk about influential Americans like Henry Kissinger and JoJo Siwa, a salute to the Pogues, and more.

Transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. First, you want to get to the latest developments in the Middle East. Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their truth. They will pause fighting until early Thursday. That brings the halt to six days, and we get the latest from Bloomberg's Rosalind Matheson. What we know is that this extension, which was somewhat expected, is likely to be under the same terms as we've seen so far, which is roughly, for every one hostage released by Harmas one Israeli hostage, that there's at least three Palestinian hostages released in turn by the Israelis. That's about a one for three exchange. What we do know is that those exchanges have happened so far every day in the truth, even if they've happened sometimes quite late in the day because there has been continued arguing through the day about some of the terms and conditions. Bloomberg's Roz Mathison says the truce comes as Secretary of Saint Anthony Blinken heads to Israel for the third time since the Hamas attack. Well, Nathan Elon Musk says he liked to help rebuild Gaza after the war with Hamas. The billionaire was in Israel yesterday and made the comments in a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettan Yahoo. Those who are intended motor must be neutralized. Then the propaganda must stop. That is training people to be murtorers in the future, and then and then making Gaza prosperous. And if that happens, I think will be good future. Well, I hope you will be involved in it, and I'd love to help and muss Israel Visit appears to be an effort to diffuse a growing backlash over his endorsement of an anti Semitic tweet. Last week. Corporations including Apple and Walt Disney stopped advertising on Eggs over concerns of increasing anti Semitism and hate speech on the site since he purchased it well Karen. The first of three US military relief flights carrying aid for the Gaza Strip is set to arrive in Egypt later today. Senior US official say the flights will carry winter clothing, food, medical items, and supplies specifically for children. This comes as the Biden administration seeks to escalate assistance to Palestinian civilians amid pressure from fellow Democrats. Well, Nathan ad to Israel is one of the issues of waiting lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The House is back in session today after the holiday break. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he wants to vote as soon as next week on one hundred and six billion dollars in aid to Israel, Ukraine, and border security, but former Republican Congressman mcmulvaney says it'll be tough to pass it all before the end of the year because Congress is not facing a government shut down deadline by then. Typically big deals would get done at Christmas and again right before the August recess because that's when Congress wants to go home. Well, they don't have the sort of the sword of Damicles to hold over the members right now because the funding deals go beyond Christmas, and former Congressman mcmulvaney says Israel aid could pass alone before Christmas because it has bipartisan support. And he was guest on Bloomberg's sound On. Get the full interview on the sound On podcast. Well, meanwhile, Karen President Biden is cautioning corporations against taking advantage of inflation relief. We get that story from Bloomberg's Ed Baxter. President Biden has taken credit for easing supply chain pressures and lowering inflation, but says more needs to be done. Let me be clear, to any corporation that's not brought their prices back down, even as inflation has come down, even supply chains have been rebuilt, it's time to stop the price gouging. You've given the American consumer a break. Biden also says he set up a council review supply chain actions, calling it an early warning system. Head Baxter Bloomberg Radio, All right, Ed, thank you well. We turn to the markets now, and it's shaping up to be a November two remember. We get the latest from Bloomberg's John Tucker. John and Karen stocks have rallied more than eight percent, marking one of their strongest gains for the month since records began. Signs of slowing inflation and measured jobs growth have also unleashed a treasury rally, with scent yields tumbling for their highest and more than a decade, and those lower yields mean the dollar is headed for its steepest monthly drop in a year. There's a consensus that not only has the Fed stop raising interest rates, but investors are pricing in around ninety five basis points of rate cuts into the end of next year. Well, not everybody's on board with a bowl case. Strategists that city groups say underlying bullish signs from futures flows are starting to fade. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio. Okay, John, thanks, you got some news on the IPO market this morning. Sources tell Bloomberg Reddit is again holding talks with potential investors for an initial public offering for the social media company, and we get that story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. Hope Folds aren't preparing for a long awaited reopening of the market for new listings, sources say. The San Francisco based firm, whose users help fuel the meme stock frenzy that made twenty twenty one a ban a year for equities, is weighing an IPO as soon as the first quarter. Bloomberg news last year that Reddit was working with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs on the listing and was considering a valuation of as much as fifteen billion dollars in New York. Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio, all right, Charlie, thank you well, fast fashion retailer. She and has filed confidential confidentially with US regulators for an IPO that could take place next year. Bloomberg News has learned the online retailer, which was founded in China's working with Goldman Sachs, JP, Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley on the listing. She has come under fire for poor labor conditions and factories in partners with overproduction of poor quality garments and the use of cotton from a Chinese region accused of using forced labor. Futures this morning, little change nasday futures lower though down a tenth of a percent on about twenty two points ten year treasury down two thirty seconds you four point three nine percent, and a yield on the two years at four point nine zero percent. Straight ahead, we have more local headlines, plus check of sports, and this is Bloomberg and it is time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris Any Good morning, Good morning, Karen. Scandal plagued New York Republican Representative George Santos has acknowledged he expects to be expelled from the House as soon as this week. House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked if there would be a vote on the fate of mister Santos as soon as this week. We've spoken to Coxsman Santos at some length over the holiday and talked to him about his options, but we'll have to see. It's not yet determined. The latest blow came in the form of a fifty six page report from the Health Ethics Committee released earlier this month, outlining substantial evidence that mister Santos violated federal law. The Justice Department has charged Santo's with conspiracy, wire fraud, fallse statements, falsification of records, aggravated identity theft, and credit card fraud. Border security is a key part of a broader legislative deal that lawmakers want to complete before the end of this year, but lawmakers are not likely to include a pathway to citizenship for young immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in the border deal wrapped in that conversation a national security funding request from the White House, including eight for Ukraine. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer. The biggest hold up to the national security supplement is an insistence by some Republicans, just some on partisan border policy as a condition for Ukraine aid. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a top Democratic negotiator in those talks, says wild Daka is a priority that Democrats would want to see included in the deal, it does not align with what Republicans want the final bill to look like. A Moscow court has extended the detention of US reporter Avan Gershkovich. Gershkovich was arrested in Russia earlier this year. He's accused of spying. Today's hearing was held behind closed doors, no press allowed inside. His detention will be extended through January thirtieth. Memorial service is being held in Atlanta for former First Lady Rosalind Carter, President Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, and other former First Ladies. Malania Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Laura Bush are all expected to attend services this afternoon on the campus of Emory University. Jimmy Carter is also planning to be there. Rosalind Carter rather Rosalind Carter Pardon me died on November nineteenth at the age of ninety six. Global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Maybe Morris and this is Bloomberg Karen. All right, Amy, thank you what we do bring you news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But now, as Amy said, you can get the latest news on demand whenever you want it. Just subscribe to Bloomberg News Now to get the latest headlines at a click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com plus Apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. And it's time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, and here's John stash Hour, John Karen Mother Night. Football in Minnesota, the Vikings lost their quarterback Kirk Cousins for the season, and their star windout Justin Jefferson, missed another game that's the seventh in a row, and their offense struggled. Their new quarterback, Joshua Dobbs, who had been playing well through four interceptions. He did throw a touchdown pass to TJ. Hockinson with under six minutes to go, the only TV

yesterday in Israel talking about wanting to rebuild in Gaza after the war is over. How much pressure is there on Israel right now to try to come to some kind of resolution of this crisis. There is a growing pressure, and I think there's a growing demand from partners from the Gulf, including the US, to understand what Israel's plan actually is. They haven't really expressed it. There is this notion obviously that the Netzenyahu government want to keep the West Bankcupied territories separated from the Gaza Strip. That obviously flies in the face of what the international community want in terms of a two state solution which would unify these two Palestinian territories. So there's so much to be ironed out, and I think that's probably some of the questions that Anthony Blincoln is going to want answers to when he arrives. Are we seeing that pressure Simon coming just from partners from the international community, or is Prime Minister Nettagna, who coming under some domestic pressure as well, got about a minute left. Well, yeah, obviously within Israel there is a quite a right wing government here at the moment. There are senior members of Nettaya who's Netanya whose cabinet, who are far on the right and very much against this idea of a two state solution and want to see a continued Israeli security presence inside the Gaza Strip. They have very little faith in any to come out of the Gaza Strip. So clearly Netanyahu's going to have to thread the needle here between what the international community wants and the pressures he's facing internally to be much more hardlined. Okay, Simon, thanks for this. We'll be checking back with you in the days and weeks to come. Simon Marks of Bloomberg News joining us this morning from Tel Aviv on day five now of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with the expectation that more hostages will be released today in exchange for Palestinian prisoners out of Israel. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed at six am Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app. Seriusxmbiheartradio app and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

Let's get into the storieshttps://missouriindependent.com/briefs/attempt-to-kill-biden-student-debt-relief-plan-tied-to-income-fails-in-u-s-senate/Senate Republicans fail to kill President Joe Biden's income-based student debt relief planBY: ARIANA FIGUEROA - NOVEMBER 16, 2023 7:10 AM     WASHINGTON — Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia was the sole Democrat who joined Republicans in backing the resolution, which was 2 votes short of passing.Following the vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said “There are millions of students, poor, working class … who will benefit from what the president has done. Republicans don't think twice about giving huge tax breaks to ultra-wealthy billionaires and large corporations, but when it comes to helping out working families with student debt relief, suddenly it's too much money, it will raise the deficit, we can't afford it. Give me a break.”The Department of Education unveiled the Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan hours after the Supreme Court in June struck down the Biden administration's one-time student debt cancellation that would have forgiven up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for anyone making less than $125,000 per year.Borrowers who received Pell Grants would have been eligible for an additional $10,000 in forgiveness of federal student loans.The new income-driven repayment plan calculates payments based on a borrower's income and family size and forgives balances after a set number of years. More than 5.5 million student loan borrowers have already enrolled in the SAVE plan, according to data released by the Department of Education.Repayments on federal student loans restarted last month after a nearly three-year pause due to the coronavirus pandemic.With the SAVE plan, borrowers with undergraduate loans will pay 5% of their discretionary income, rather than the 10% required under previous income repayment plans. https://capitolnewsillinois.com/NEWS/illinois-lawmakers-approve-plan-to-allow-small-scale-nuclear-developmentIllinois lawmakers approve small-scale nuclear developmentThursday, November 9, 2023Governor, who vetoed previous bill, supports new effortBy ANDREW ADAMS Capitol News Illinoisaadams@capitolnewsillinois.comSPRINGFIELD – Lawmakers on Thursday approved a proposal that would allow companies to develop new nuclear power generation in Illinois for the first time since 1987. House Bill 2473 does not entirely lift the 36-year-old moratorium on nuclear construction, but rather creates a regulatory structure for the construction of small modular nuclear reactors, or SMRs. The bill limits the nameplate capacity of such reactors to 300 megawatts, about one-third the size of the smallest of the six existing nuclear power plants in Illinois. It also requires the state to perform a study that will inform rules for regulating SMRs, which will be adopted by regulators at the Illinois Emergency Management Agency by January 2026.  Proponents of the measure say it is a step to make the ongoing transition away from fossil fuels more reliable for customers throughout the state, while opponents warn the unproven technology comes with safety risks and the potential for cost overruns. The bill passed with bipartisan support in the Senate, 44-7, and the House, 98-8. The opposition came exclusively from Democrats. Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement that he would sign the bill. He worked with lawmakers on the new bill after vetoing a broader measure this summer. Leadership of the Illinois AFL-CIO umbrella labor organization released a statement Thursday calling the policy “important for our state's economy and our clean energy future.” It echoed a release from the Illinois Manufacturers Association, an industry advocacy group that testified in support of the proposal several times, saying that it would allow the state to “continue leading in energy and manufacturing innovation.”The legislation's sponsors, Republican State Sen. Sue Rezin, and Democratic State Rep. Lance Yednock said the bill has the potential to bolster Illinois' electric reliability as intermittent sources like wind and solar begin to make up a larger portion of the state's energy output. Sen. Rezin said she is particularly interested in the potential for SMRs to be developed at the sites of former coal plants in Illinois, avoiding the need to build new transmission lines. Because permitting nuclear energy takes many years at the federal level, the earliest a nuclear project could be brought online in Illinois would be in the 2030s.  But critics of the bill and of nuclear power are worried.David Kraft, an outspoken critic of nuclear energy and head of the Chicago-based advocacy group Nuclear Energy Information Service, urged lawmakers at a Thursday committee meeting to reject the bill. Kraft said he was concerned about the lack of existing SMR installations and the unproven nature of the technology. While some nuclear reactors of this scale do exist in other countries, no commercial SMRs have ever been built in the United States. In a follow-up interview, Kraft said that SMRs bring with them security concerns, as the smaller installations have different staffing requirements than traditional reactors and use a more highly enriched type of uranium. This relative abundance of this uranium, according to Kraft, could incentivize the further proliferation of nuclear weapons. Sierra Club Illinois chapter director Jack Darin called nuclear energy “at best, a distraction.” Sierra Club was one of the main advocacy organizations that sought Pritzker's veto of the previous bill. Since 2016, five other state legislatures have either repealed or weakened their bans on nuclear construction. Counting Illinois, bans on nuclear construction remain on the books in 11 states. Several of the states that have lifted their bans in recent years have done so to pave the way for SMR technology. But the biggest player in that industry has seen several upsets in recent weeks. As lawmakers debated the bill on Wednesday, NuScale Power – the only company with a federally approved SMR design – announced that it was canceling its highly watched “Carbon Free Power Project” in Utah, which would have been the first commercial project with a NuScale reactor. The project's cancelation comes after months of falling stock prices and criticism from trading firms. Still, its leaders say the company will continue with its other projects, which are at various steps of regulation and planning. Bill sponsor Sen. Rezin noted that “there's a lot to learn” from NuScale's canceled project, but hopes Illinois' and other states' moves to reverse their construction bans will encourage nuclear energy development in the U.S. She said “If we do not build out this technology with companies that are in the United States, there's other companies and countries such as Russia that are looking to sell that technology. We don't want that.” Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service covering state government. It is distributed to hundreds of print and broadcast outlets statewide.

Some fringe and alt-right Republican House representatives are infuriated with the voters who stood up to secure abortion rights in the state.Issue 1, the proposal to enshrine abortion access into the state constitution, passed 57-43% on election night. Despite this large victory, Statehouse Republicans have been mulling over ways to combat it.State Rep. Jennifer Gross (R-West Chester) is seemingly leading this fight with other far-right representatives Bill Dean (R-Xenia), Melanie Miller (R-Ashland) and Beth Lear (R-Galena). The quartet is described by other Ohio Republicans as being on the extreme end of their caucus due to anti-vaccine beliefs, peddling of conspiracy theories, and attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.Describing a potential 15-week abortion ban, GOP Senate President Matt Huffman said “clearly there is a majority of people in Ohio” who want the ban - however, that would of course be the opposite of what the voters just said a week ago. ere are no statistics to prove this, and based on the language of Issue 1, the voters chose not to have any restrictions before viability.Statehouse reporter Morgan Trau asked President Huffman “Would 15 weeks be going against the will of the people?” He said he didn't know.After the election where Ohioans stood up to demand abortion rights, the Senate President said this “wasn't the end” and there would be a “revolving door” of repeal efforts.  This article was originally published on News5Cleveland.com and is published in the Ohio Capital Journal under a content-sharing agreement.

He's the only one who didn't file. BY: NICK EVANS - NOVEMBER 16, 2023 4:55 AM     The three Republican candidates hoping to topple U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-OH, go before voters in a few months, and by now should've disclosed information about their personal finances. Two of them, state Sen. Matt Dolan and entrepreneur Bernie Moreno, have done so. But after filing an extension through Nov. 14, though, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose still has not.In both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, candidates and members have to regularly file disclosures that describe their financial positions, assets and liabilities. But the reports stick to broad strokes. Filers name their mutual funds, for instance, but the amount of their holdings are bracketed — $1,001-$15,000, $15,001-$50,000, etc.Current U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown reported about $27,000 in retirement income from his time as a state official. His U.S. Senate income doesn't need to be disclosed, nor do his U.S. Senate retirement accounts.Brown also reports serving as a trustee at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. since 2008.Under U.S. Senate rules, candidates must file financial disclosure reports within 30 days of becoming a candidate. LaRose announced his candidacy July 17, and filed for a financial disclosure extension August 9. That extension gave him until November 14 to file his report.Despite that 90-day reprieve, LaRose still has yet to file. The Ohio Capital Journal reached out to his campaign to see if the report has been filed but not yet posted or if the campaign has requested a further extension. The campaign did not respond.Late filing carries a $200 penalty and failing to file or filing a false report carries a civil penalty of up to $50,000.LaRose's failure to file thus far is particularly notable given a $250,000 personal loan he made to his campaign in September. While his Republican opponents have loaned their campaigns significantly more money, LaRose's previous disclosures from his time as a state lawmaker don't suggest he'd have that much cash readily available.Chagrin Falls Republican Matt Dolan comes from a wealthy family that owns the Cleveland Guardians baseball team. In addition to serving in the legislature, Dolan has worked in the Geauga County prosecutor's office and as an Assistant Attorney General.The state senator's investment holdings are vast—including stocks from more than 250 companies, more than 50 mutual funds and bonds. He reports a Morgan Stanley money market account with more than $1 million alone as well as several mutual funds worth more than half a million dollars each.Dolan also reports a handful of retirement accounts, partial ownership of several LLCs and real estate. One residential building brought in more than $50,000 in rent.In addition to his income Dolan holds personal line of credit with Morgan Stanley worth at least $5 million. The interest rate for that credit line is just 5.96% according to Dolan's amended report — roughly 2.5 percentage points below the current prime rate.Dolan has loaned his campaign a total of $7 million.Next, there's Bernie MorenoIf anything, Moreno's disclosure is even more complex. The Westlake entrepreneur began his business career selling cars, and his report describes his role as director of 17 different automotive business entities, most of which are no longer operating. But from cars, Moreno has branched into several other lines of business including real estate and tech.Moreno's assets are held in a series of trusts, and the report includes several notes about partial ownership and recent sales. He owns 65% of Dryver, LLC, for instance, which the report values at between $5 million and $25 million. Moreno recently sold off his stake in a different company called Champ Titles, and reports making more than $5 million on the deal.He has investments worth at least half a million dollars in handful of Tel Aviv companies working technology, social media investing and healthcare AI. Moreno has also invested in Narya, the venture capital firm U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance, R-OH, started before running for office. Vance has endorsed Moreno's senate bid.Moreno also reports owning millions in residential and commercial real estate. He owns 43% of a home in Ocean Reef, FL worth at least $5 million. It appears the property is a rental because it generated more than $50,000 in income. Moreno also owns a 1% stake condos located in Washington, D.C., and New York City, as well as a $1 million unimproved parcel in Zapotal, Costa Rica, and at least $1.5MM sitting in two checking accounts.Moreno has loaned his campaign $3 million.https://kansasreflector.com/briefs/veterans-health-care-coverage-expanded-by-biden-administration/Biden Administratoin expands Veterans' health care coverage BY: JACOB FISCHLER - NOVEMBER 10, 2023 4:01 AM     Officials said the Department of Veterans Affairs will expand health care coverage for certain groups of veterans and their families, and create new programs meant to make care more accessible.The VA will make coverage of certain toxic burn pit-related conditions available sooner than anticipated. Family members of veterans who served at North Carolina's Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune from between 1953 and 1987 will be eligible to have the costs of treating Parkinson's disease covered. And all living World War II veterans will be eligible for no-cost health care, including at nursing homes, the department said in a series of news releases.The administration will also create a new graduate medical education program to help expand health care availability for veterans in rural, tribal and other underserved communities. And the VA will spend $5 million on an advertising campaign aimed at having more veterans sign up for services.https://michiganadvance.com/2023/11/16/dan-kildee-dean-of-michigans-u-s-house-delegation-wont-run-for-reelection-in-2024/Dan Kildee, dean of Michigan's U.S. House delegation, won't run for reelection in 2024Retirement leaves open a key seat made more competitive with redistrictingBY: KEN COLEMAN - NOVEMBER 16, 2023 1:53 PM     Kildee, who is 65, said a cancer diagnosis this year caused him to reassess his career plans. Kildee's retirement from the 8th Congressional District including Genesee, Bay and Saginaw counties and portions of Midland County, leaves open a seat made more competitive during the last redistricting process. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report with Amy Walter has moved the seat from “leans Democratic” to a “tossup.”A number of candidates could line up to run in 2024 from both parties. Republican Martin Blank, a surgeon, has already declared. Other Republicans who could run are last year's nominee Paul Junge, former House Speaker Tom Leonard and state Rep. Bill G. Schuette (R-Midland).On the Democratic side, potential candidates could include former Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich (D-Flint), Flint Mayor Sheldon Neely, state Sen. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-Bay City), former state Rep. Pam Farris (D-Clio) and state Sen. John Cherry (D-Flint).In a 2020 interview with the Michigan Advance, Kildee recalled having only been in Congress for a few years when news of the Flint water crisis broke.“That was one of those moments where I knew why I was there. I knew exactly why I was in Congress. I had to go to bat for my hometown because they only had one member of Congress, and I had to persuade a whole bunch of people to help me out with Flint.”Kildee has served as a leader in the House Democratic caucus and has been a close ally of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). He is the co-chair of the House Democratic Steering Committee. Pelosi told the Advance in 2020 that Kildee “has proudly carried on his family's long legacy of service, becoming a tremendous champion for the people of Flint and all Michiganders” as part of leadership.“As a powerful member of the Ways and Means Committee, his persistent, dissatisfied leadership has delivered critical resources to strengthen and develop his community and ensure that our budget remains a reflection of our nation's values. Congressman Kildee's bold vision and expert guidance as chief deputy whip has been invaluable to House Democrats as we work to advance progress that make a difference in the lives of hard-working families in Michigan and across the country.”Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said through a statement that “no one fights harder for his constituents than Dan Kildee.“Congressman Kildee knows the Bay region like the back of his Michigan mitten, and I am so grateful for our productive partnership,” Whitmer said. “I am grateful for our collaboration to bring progress to areas of Michigan that too many left behind. We brought good-paying, middle-class manufacturing jobs back to Flint, worked to lower the cost of prescription drugs with President Biden, and delivered on the issues that make a real difference in people's lives.”   U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Holly) called Kildee's retirement “a huge loss for Congress, for Michigan, and for me personally. The center of his work is and always has been his hometown of Flint, for which he has fiercely advocated especially in the darkest hour of the Flint water crisis,” Slotkin said. “While I'm thankful I have another year to work with him, and thrilled that he is moving on to his next chapter, this departure stings.”U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Ann Arbor) said that Kildee “will be missed. His deep knowledge of many issues and his concern for others has made a difference in countless lives, and his years of service have benefited our country in many ways,”Advance Editor Susan J. Demas contributed to this story.We will definitely have more on the developing primary picture for this open seat in Michigan, as well as the new open seat in Virginia as Abby Spanberger runs for Governor, and everything else that happens as we are now just a couple of short months from the 2024 primary season.Well that's it for me.

Joe Manchin III of West Virginia was the sole Democrat who joined Republicans in backing the resolution, which was 2 votes short of passing.Following the vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said “There are millions of students, poor, working class … who will benefit from what the president has done. Republicans don't think twice about giving huge tax breaks to ultra-wealthy billionaires and large corporations, but when it comes to helping out working families with student debt relief, suddenly it's too much money, it will raise the deficit, we can't afford it. Give me a break.”The Department of Education unveiled the Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan hours after the Supreme Court in June struck down the Biden administration's one-time student debt cancellation that would have forgiven up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for anyone making less than $125,000 per year.Borrowers who received Pell Grants would have been eligible for an additional $10,000 in forgiveness of federal student loans.The new income-driven repayment plan calculates payments based on a borrower's income and family size and forgives balances after a set number of years. More than 5.5 million student loan borrowers have already enrolled in the SAVE plan, according to data released by the Department of Education.Repayments on federal student loans restarted last month after a nearly three-year pause due to the coronavirus pandemic.With the SAVE plan, borrowers with undergraduate loans will pay 5% of their discretionary income, rather than the 10% required under previous income repayment plans. https://capitolnewsillinois.com/NEWS/illinois-lawmakers-approve-plan-to-allow-small-scale-nuclear-developmentIllinois lawmakers approve small-scale nuclear developmentThursday, November 9, 2023Governor, who vetoed previous bill, supports new effortBy ANDREW ADAMS Capitol News Illinoisaadams@capitolnewsillinois.comSPRINGFIELD – Lawmakers on Thursday approved a proposal that would allow companies to develop new nuclear power generation in Illinois for the first time since 1987. House Bill 2473 does not entirely lift the 36-year-old moratorium on nuclear construction, but rather creates a regulatory structure for the construction of small modular nuclear reactors, or SMRs. The bill limits the nameplate capacity of such reactors to 300 megawatts, about one-third the size of the smallest of the six existing nuclear power plants in Illinois. It also requires the state to perform a study that will inform rules for regulating SMRs, which will be adopted by regulators at the Illinois Emergency Management Agency by January 2026.  Proponents of the measure say it is a step to make the ongoing transition away from fossil fuels more reliable for customers throughout the state, while opponents warn the unproven technology comes with safety risks and the potential for cost overruns. The bill passed with bipartisan support in the Senate, 44-7, and the House, 98-8.

Sherrod Brown, D-OH, go before voters in a few months, and by now should've disclosed information about their personal finances. Two of them, state Sen. Matt Dolan and entrepreneur Bernie Moreno, have done so. But after filing an extension through Nov. 14, though, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose still has not.In both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, candidates and members have to regularly file disclosures that describe their financial positions, assets and liabilities.

I had to go to bat for my hometown because they only had one member of Congress, and I had to persuade a whole bunch of people to help me out with Flint.”Kildee has served as a leader in the House Democratic caucus and has been a close ally of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). He is the co-chair of the House Democratic Steering Committee. Pelosi told the Advance in 2020 that Kildee “has proudly carried on his family's long legacy of service, becoming a tremendous champion for the people of Flint and all Michiganders” as part of leadership.“As a powerful member of the Ways and Means Committee, his persistent, dissatisfied leadership has delivered critical resources to strengthen and develop his community and ensure that our budget remains a reflection of our nation's values. Congressman Kildee's bold vision and expert guidance as chief deputy whip has been invaluable to House Democrats as we work to advance progress that make a difference in the lives of hard-working families in Michigan and across the country.”Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said through a statement that “no one fights harder for his constituents than Dan Kildee.“Congressman Kildee knows the Bay region like the back of his Michigan mitten, and I am so grateful for our productive partnership,” Whitmer said. “I am grateful for our collaboration to bring progress to areas of Michigan that too many left behind. We brought good-paying, middle-class manufacturing jobs back to Flint, worked to lower the cost of prescription drugs with President Biden, and delivered on the issues that make a real difference in people's lives.”   U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Holly) called Kildee's retirement “a huge loss for Congress, for Michigan, and for me personally. The center of his work is and always has been his hometown of Flint, for which he has fiercely advocated especially in the darkest hour of the Flint water crisis,” Slotkin said. “While I'm thankful I have another year to work with him, and thrilled that he is moving on to his next chapter, this departure stings.”U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Ann Arbor) said that Kildee “will be missed. His deep knowledge of many issues and his concern for others has made a difference in countless lives, and his years of service have benefited our country in many ways,”Advance Editor Susan J. Demas contributed to this story.We will definitely have more on the developing primary picture for this open seat in Michigan, as well as the new open seat in Virginia as Abby Spanberger runs for Governor, and everything else that happens as we are now just a couple of short months from the 2024 primary season.Well that's it for me.

With Xi Jinping's visit to San Francisco, California officially completed its transformation into a communist hellhole. No American flags to be seen. No protests from the LGBT and pro-Palestinian crowd against China's human rights abuses. Just Chinese flags flying and Chinese people in the street celebrating the arrival of a communist dictator. Texas A&M is defying the diversity ban ordered by Gov. Greg Abbott as the university continues to hire based on ideological conformity and racial preference. Chuck Schumer referenced the Hamas attacks on October 7 as “January 7,” and Nancy Pelosi said Biden's list of achievements “goes on and on” if you were wondering how the octogenarians in Congress are doing. Nikki Haley is being roasted after saying she wants to verify every person on social media with their full names. Of course Haley claimed this was for the sake of national security, but it's a slippery slope that goes against the fundamental right of free speech. Ilhan Omar says real faith leaders “oppose violence,” proving once again she's never read the Koran.

On today's podcast: 1) Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping emerged from their first meeting in a year betting that a handful of small victories will arrest a surge in US-China tensions that has unnerved neighboring nations and threatened global economic growth. 2) President Joe Biden said he still believed his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping was a dictator, casting a shadow over what both sides had characterized as their most productive meeting to date. 3) The US Senate overwhelmingly approved a temporary funding measure to avert a government shutdown, delaying a partisan clash over federal spending until the new year and leaving out emergency aid to allies Ukraine and Israel. 4) The Cleveland Browns announce QB Deshaun Watson is out for the season. Full transcript: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the high stakes meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and she Jinping. They met for more than four hours on the sidelines of the APEX summit in San Francisco. President Biden called his discussions with China's leader some of the most productive he's ever had. I've been meeting with President Sheeshu's both us for vice president over ten years ago. Our meetings have always been canda stradeforward. We haven't always agreed, but they've been straightforward, and today build on the groundwork related over the past several months of high level diplomacy between our teams, We've made some important progress, I believe, and President Biden's words were echoed by President she China is ready to be a partner and friend of the United States. The fundamental princippos that we follow in handling China US relations are mutual respect, peaceful co existence, and wing wing corporation. China's president spoke there through an interpreter, but after the gathering, President Biden was asked whether he still considers China's leader a dictator. Look, he is. I mean he's a dictator in the sense that he is a guy who runs the country. That is collin Cocu based on formagart totally different than ours. And after President Biden's remark, China's Foreign ministry called the statement extremely incorrect and irresponsible political manipulation. Well Nathan asked for the actual meeting, Both Biden and Shi jinping Is say they reached a number of agreements. Bloomberg's ed Baxter has that part of the story, as well as fentanyl. High on President Biden's list is opening communication between the country's militaries. We're reassuming military to military contact direct contacts. As a lot of you press know follow this that's been cut off and it's been worse, and that's how accidents happened. Biden also saying the two agreed on finding ways to control ai Biden also says he was assured that China has no plan to invade Taiwan. Now. She did say that he told Biden that the US should not have plans to suppress China and also ask for sanctions to be removed. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Radio, and thank you. Some of Wall Street's elite attended dinner with Si Jinping. Black Rocks Larry Fink and Stephen Schwartzman of Blackstone were among the top executives seated at the Chinese leader's table, according to a program seen by Bloomberg News. Other big names and attendance were Apple's Tim Cook, Bridgewater associates Ray Dalio, and Pesla says Elon Musk also met with President she yesterday. Well Nathan some major developments out of Washington to avoid a government shut down. In a late night vote, the Senate overwhelmingly approved the House's short term spending bill. Bloomberg's Amy Morris reports from Washington. President Biden is expected to sign the bill that will extend government funding at current levels through two deadlines, one in mid January, the other in early February, but the bill did not include aid for Israel nor Ukraine. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer says that will be lawmaker's next priority after the holiday break. Both sides genuinely care about approving aid to Israel and Ukraine and helping innocent civilians in Gaza, so I hope we can come to an agreement even if neither side gets everything they insist on. And now the risk of partial government shutdown moves to January as House Speaker Johnson faces criticism from within his own party because he did not include deep spending cuts or changes to immigration policies. In Washington, Amy Morris Bloomberg Radio, Thank you. We now turned to the latest developments in the war in the Middle East. The Israeli military says it found a Hamas command center, weapons and technological assets at the Alshifa Hospital in Gaza City. Middle Eastern countries, including Jordan and Turkey, have condemned the raid. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking through an interpreter says he makes no apologies for sending troops in. But we were told that we would not reach the outskirts of Gaza city. We arrived. We were told that we won't end to Shifa, but we entered, and in this spirit we say simple thing. There is no place in Gaza that we will not reach. Prime Minister Natanya, whose comments come as The Washington Post reports discussions are underway on a potential deal that would see Hamas free fifty women and children hostages in exchange for an extended pose and fighting, and the release of some Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. Well, Nathan, we turned to the markets now, and shares of Cisco plunging, the drop coming after it gave a disappointing forecast. We get more from Bloomberg's Doug Prisner CEO Chuck Robbins, who's trying to rea doue Cisco's dependency on one time sales of equipment by pushing deeper into software and services such as security. But the transition isn't complete enough to cushion Cisco from smaller corporate budgets, and the company is now projecting the weak environment. Will Linger because customers are taking a break from new orders to installed gear they've already received. In New York, I'm Doug Prisner, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Doug. Thanks, and Cisco's shares are down nearly eleven percent in the pre market. Earnings continue this morning, with the nation's biggest retailer reporting. Get a preview of that from Bloomberg's Tom Busby. Walmart's expected to report that sales growth slow to four percent last quarter. That's less than half the pace from just a year ago as consumers pulled back on their discretionary spending, but sales of food and healthcare products should be resilient and outpaced demand for that general merchandise adjusted ernis per share estimated to be a dollar fifty two total revenue of one hundred and fifty nine point one three billion dollars. Tom Buzby, Bloomberg Radio, all right, Tom, Thanks. Well. In Europe, shares a Berber down almost nine percent. The UK luxury retailer is warning this year's revenue target maybe out of reach after sales barely grew in the most recent quarter. And Karen, we have a big deal for chocolate lovers this morning. US Candy company Mars, has agreed to buy the UK's Hotel Chacalott Group for more than six hundred and sixty million dollars. That price tag represents one hundred and seventy percent premium to Hotel Chachalot's closing price yesterday. All right, Nathan, thanks, it's time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. US. Capitol police officers say one person was arrested following protests outside Democratic National Convention headquarters in Washington, DC as part of a pro Palestinian rally. Protesters got into a shoving match with Capitol police officers that arrest being made for assault. Six Capital officers also suffered minor injuries. Pepper spray was used on protesters and DNC members were evacuated. Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed an anti Semitic post on x the social media site that he owns, that attacked members of the Jewish community for pushing dialectical hatred against white people. Musk said in his reply to the post, quote you have said the actual truth. Musk has repeatedly been criticized for promoting content attacking Jewish people at a time of rising anti semitism. After a year of strikes in Hollywood and the auto industry, now it's Starbucks turn. The union representing thousands of Starbucks workers is staging a one day walk out today, coinciding with the Red Cup Day. It's one of the coffee chain's busiest days of the year. Daisy feederspiel Bayer is a supervisor in Seattle. I really wish that I could be in there serving you coffee. I do, but with the drastic understaffing and the toll that that takes on our barista's Unfortunately, we have to push for better and we aren't getting that from Starbucks right now. Starbucks Workers United represents nine thousand employees at three hundred and sixty stores. They want better wages, benefits, and the right to bargain. The Thanksgiving travel rush is about to begin. Bloomberg's Nancy Lions with the latest The Transportation Security Administration says the official travel window lasts twelve days, beginning Friday and running through to the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. During that time, the TSA expects to screen twenty eight million passengers. John Bush is Federal Security Director for the TSA. The best tip we can offer is to ask everyone to arrive early for your flights. The recommendation is always two hours before domestic flight three hours before an international flight, and that's going to be even more important this coming holiday weekend. Bush says they do have the staffing and the technology in place to ensure that everything runs smoothly. In Washington.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We've made some important progress. We heard those words from President Biden after his first meeting in more than a year with the leader of the People's Republic of China, Shi Jinping. President says two leaders are restoring military to military communications and they plan to keep talking at the highest levels in the United States, will continue to compete vigorously at the PRC, but will manage that competition responsibly so doesn't veer into conflict for accidental conflict. That was President Biden after his more than four hours sit down with China's leader on the sidelines of the APEX summit in San Francisco, and joining us with more from Singapore is Berg News Managing editor Derek Wallbank. Derek, it's good to have you back with us this morning. Going into these talks, the White House said just talking would be a deliverable. What kind of deliverables can we say We're gleaned from this gathering between Presidents s Biden and shape Well, Nathan, they certainly talked. You know. Yeah. It's funny because in that relationship here, we've seen ebbs and flows between real, real static, real problems, and and times when it has seemed maybe a little bit sunnier, maybe a little bit more placid. I borrow an observation that Singapore's Foreign minister made last week at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum here in Singapore, which was that you shouldn't on US China relations confuse weather with climate. Things might look a little bit more peaceful right now, certainly in the face of this meeting that seemed to go mostly okay, But the for all climate of the US China relationship is still one with a lot of tension points. There were not major fundamental issues resolved here. This is not like we have a giant breakthrough on Taiwan, for example. So so whether a little bit nicer climate overall still very much progressing in the in the in the ways that it was sticking with the weather analogy, I guess maybe one dark cloud in that otherwise sunny gathering could be that question that the President received from a reporter when asked whether he still considers China's leader a dictator, and he basically said yes, he did, he said, he said emphatically yes. And and look, this is one of those things where China does take offense to this. You know, they don't like the term, they don't like it being used about them. But at the same point, the thing I think that bears watching is whether or not China blow it up into a whole big thing and says, right, well, this is some offense and we want to change the tenor of our leader to leader engagement or the relationship more broadly, it doesn't initially seem like that is happening. Remember Joe Biden said this before, and we're still on a path where they've gone to me, she went to the United States. That's actually something that's a big symbol for this meeting. So I'm not sure that that's necessarily going to derail everything here. Where I think it's much more likely if you were looking for risk problems is to look in the South China Sea, specifically off the coast of the Philippines, and some of the territorial disputes that are there, some of the trade disputes that are there. Those are places that I think are potential fracture points. But look, if you're sitting there saying are things a little bit better in the relationship between China and the US than they were this time yesterday, the answer is yes, they are a little bit better. You're going to see maybe some small tangible things including possibly, let me say, you might see some pandace come back to the US. We did hear that mentioned right by the leader of China. But when it comes to those small steps in our last minute here, Derek, what are some of the broader issues that could still lead to some of these overarching tensions that we do continue to see between the US and China. Well, I think, you know, on the good side, you've seen that the US and China are trying to do a little bit more on reducing fentanyl. On the good side, you are seeing Biden said they're agreeing to talk a little bit more military to military, and Biden said that they had an open line between the two of them. If one calls the other, they'll pick up the phone. But I do think on that broad thing, that the broad issue of trade, the broad issue of of China's state craft and military ambitions, those are real fracture points, and those are as I say, structural climactic fracture points, and that's going to be something that these two countries are going to have to very carefully manage going forward to make sure that they don't actually escalate.
