This week on CURE America with Star Parker, we dive into the aftermath of the explosive debate between former Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Joined by Kristen A. Ullman, President of Eagle Forum, Carrie Sheffield, Senior Policy Analyst at Independent Women's Forum, Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government, and Jonathan Alexandre, Senior Counsel at Liberty Counsel Action, we analyze the key moments and their impact on the nation.   We start with a critical look at Biden's disastrous debate performance. He struggled to articulate and froze on stage multiple times, clearly not fit to serve. The panel discusses his history of falsehoods and the severe consequences of his presidency, including the surge in illegal immigration and the escalation of global conflicts. The war in Ukraine, which began after Biden's failed evacuation from Afghanistan, and the Hamas-Israel war highlight the stark contrast between his leadership and the peace and respect maintained during Trump's presidency. Had Trump been in office, the current war in Israel would not have occurred.   In contrast, Donald Trump was clearly the strong, coherent leader America needs. His debate performance showcased his decisive nature and firm stance on crucial issues like immigration, national security, and the economy. Trump's policies are seen as vital for restoring America's strength and stability.   We also discuss Biden's presidency, criticized for pushing the nation towards socialism and undermining its core values.   Join us for a compelling analysis of the debate and what it means for America's future.

In fact, she wrote, social media platforms “began to suppress the plaintiffs' COVID–19 content before the defendants' challenged communications started.”Plaintiffs cannot “manufacture standing,” Barrett wrote, “merely by inflicting harm on themselves based on their fears of hypothetical future harm that is not certainly impending.”The ruling overturns a lower court decision that concluded officials under Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump unlawfully coerced social media companies to remove deceptive or inaccurate content out of fears it would fuel vaccine hesitancy or upend elections.Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey called the federal government's actions “the biggest violation of the First Amendment in our nation's history.”But those arguments were greeted with skepticism by the court in March, with justices from across the ideological spectrum punching holes in the lawsuit and raising concerns about the consequences for public safety and national security.In an emailed statement, Bailey made no mention of the court's decision to dismiss the case, instead declaring that his office will continue to pursue evidence of social media censorship by the federal government.“Missouri is not done,” Bailey said. “We are going back to the district court to obtain more discovery in order to root out Joe Biden's vast censorship enterprise once and for all.”The lawsuit was filed in 2022 by Missouri and Louisiana, along with seven people who either were banned from a platform or whose posts were not prominently featured on social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube and X, then known as Twitter.Among the co-plaintiffs is Jim Hoft, founder of the St. Louis-based right-wing conspiracy website Gateway Pundit. Hoft has built a career on promulgating false conspiracies on a wide range of topics, from the 2018 Parkland school shooting to former President Barack Obama's birth certificate.His company recently filed for bankruptcy as it faces defamation lawsuits in Missouri and Colorado filed by people who say they faced threats after being vilified by Gateway Pundit in false stories.Hoft claims claims that Twitter, in December 2020, censored content about the Hunter Biden laptop story at the urging of the federal government. But Barrett wrote that Twitter acted according to its own rules against posting or sharing “privately produced/distributed intimate media of someone without their express consent.”There is no evidence, Barrett wrote, that Twitter adopted its policy in response to pressure from the federal government.3. Kansas unemployment has been under 3% for almost 3 years runninghttps://kansasreflector.com/briefs/kansas-unemployment-rate-climbs-for-second-consecutive-month-to-2-9-in-may/Kansas unemployment rate 2.9%BY: TIM CARPENTER - JUNE 24, 2024 3:30 PMTOPEKA — The unemployment rate in Kansas was 2.9% in May, for an unprecedented 30 consecutive months with unemployment under 3%. The state's unemployment rate has remained under 3% since October 2021, after reaching double-digits in the twilight of Trump's presidency in 2020.In the past 12 months, Kansas' total nonfarm employment climbed by 24,000 jobs. The Department of Labor says that was due to a surge of 18,700 private sector positions and the addition of 5,300 government jobs.The average nominal hourly earnings in Kansas for private sector workers has increased 3.4% over the past 12 months to $30.09.4.  Go along to get along type wins Colorado blue seat primaryhttps://coloradonewsline.com/2024/06/25/camacho-leads-epps-in-closely-watched-colorado-statehouse-race/Camacho beats Epps in closely watched Colorado statehouse raceBY: SARA WILSON - JUNE 25, 2024 10:07 PM   Challenger Sean Camacho defeated Rep. Elisabeth Epps in the Democratic primary for state House District 6, according to early results from the Colorado secretary of state.Camacho was ahead with 63% of the vote, according to the results as of 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, and Associated Press-subscribed outlets reported that the AP called the race for Camacho.Camacho was the establishment-backed candidate. Epps was the more progressive, yet controversial, first-term lawmaker. The race was seen as a bellwether among many state Capitol observers.Epps, who heads the Colorado Freedom Fund, won her first term in office in 2022 after another tough primary challenge from Katie March. During her two years in office, she championed progressive legislation including a ban on most semi-automatic firearms and a bill to allow overdose authorization centers. She also publicly criticized House leadership over their handling of floor speech and open meetings practices. She was reprimanded by House leadership after she joined pro-Palestinian protestors in the chamber gallery during a special session last fall.Epps was backed by labor and grassroots groups including the AFL-CIO and SEIU Local 105.Camacho had endorsements from the Democratic establishment of Colorado, including Gov. Jared Polis, Attorney General Phil Weiser, House Speaker Julie McCluskie and Senate President Steve Fenberg.Camacho vastly outraised and outspent Epps, according to campaign finance records. He also benefited from outside spending. Various committees spent over $120,000 for communications opposing Epps and over $250,000 supporting him. That included a series of negative mailers targeting Epps.5.

JB Pritzker signed legislation Tuesday creating a new cabinet-level state agency dedicated to early childhood education and development.The new Department of Early Childhood, which will become operational in July 2026, will take over programs currently housed across three state agencies, including funding for preschool programs, child care centers and the licensing of day care centers.Speaking at a bill signing ceremony at a preschool in Chicago, Pritzker said the streamlined agency  should make it easier for new parents to access critical services for their children.“It's hard enough juggling all the responsibilities that fall on the shoulders of parents,” he said. “And on top of that, they shouldn't have to navigate a complex bureaucracy to get the care that they and their children deserve.”  A chalkboard welcome sign for Gov. JB Pritzker inside Eyes On The Future Child Development Center in Chicago's far north side neighborhood of Rogers Park.

(Capitol News Illinois photo by Dilpreet Raju)  Pritzker first unveiled his plan for a consolidated agency last fall, just as lawmakers were beginning their annual fall veto session, when he issued an executive order establishing an Office of Early Childhood within the governor's office. Read more: Pritzker proposes creation of new standalone early childhood agencyThat order directed the Department of Human Services, the Department of Children and Family Services, and the Illinois State Board of Education to begin working on a transition plan to move the administration of their early childhood programs into a new agency.The formal bid to establish the new agency was part of Pritzker's budget proposal to the General Assembly in February, along with a second year of increased funding for those programs under Pritzker's Smart Start initiative.Under the plan, the new agency will take over the Early Childhood Block Grant program from the State Board of Education, which funds the Preschool for All and Prevention Initiative programs; the Child Care Assistance Program, Home Visiting programs, and Early Intervention Services currently housed in the Department of Human Services; and licensing of day care facilities, which is currently managed by the Department of Children and Family Services.The legislation authorizing the new agency, Senate Bill 1, passed unanimously in the Senate in April, and last month passed with bipartisan support in the House, 93-18.“The foundation of a child's success and well-being is built starting the moment they are born,” Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford, D-Maywood, the lead Senate sponsor of the bill, said in a statement. “As a state, it is our duty to provide the necessary support and resources to build such stability. The creation of this unique agency will break ground on our transition to a whole, trauma-informed approach to meeting children's diverse needs.”  Gov. JB Pritzker poses for photos with early childhood advocates following a signing event for Senate Bill 1, which creates the Department of Early Childhood. Pritzker said the agency will immediately “make life simpler, better, and fairer for tens of thousands of Illinois families.” (Capitol News Illinois photo by Dilpreet Raju)Much of the debate over the bill in the legislature focused on the cost of launching a new state agency. Lawmakers appropriated $14 million in the upcoming fiscal year for initial startup costs, which include such things as hiring executive staff and opening new office space.But administration officials were reluctant to provide estimates of how much the new agency would cost annually once it's fully operational, and whether those administrative costs would outweigh what the state is spending currently.Responding to questions from reporters Tuesday, Pritzker again declined to offer specific cost estimates but suggested consolidating the programs into a single agency could result in efficiencies and cost savings. But he did chide “people who want to complain” about how new state agencies will “cost...taxpayers.”  “I really don't think it will,” Pritzker said. “I think there's real efficiency and taking programs that are desperately located in different departments and bringing them all together.”Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service covering state government.

In the aftermath of the initial face-off between Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the Biden team demonstrated unwavering resolve. Their affirmation to attend the second debate, orchestrated by ABC News on September 10, came undaunted by Biden's display, described by many as subpar for an 81-year-old political veteran. An authority within the campaign reassured Kayla Tausche, CNN White House correspondent, 'President's determination is unbroken; not only does he not plan to retreat, but he also remains firmly geared up for the second round in September.' This sentiment was mirrored by a White House spokesperson who negated the notion of the president bowing out of the race. As the debate kicked off, an underwhelming display from Biden was evident. His demeanor was a stark juxtaposition to his political rival: Biden appeared disconnected and struggled to articulate his viewpoints clearly, standing opposite an unyielding Trump. This lethargic presentation raised flags about his reelection chances, especially when his vocal delivery was muffled and weak, something the White House rationalized as a symptom of a cold. Seeking to control the narrative surrounding Biden's performance, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the situation in a post-debate interview with CNN. She subtly underscored the objective of the election, emphasizing, 'Let's look beyond style contests. The primary focus should be on substance…Sure, it was off to a pedestrian start, that's clear to all, and I won't disregard that.' Her attempt to shift focus from Biden's performance did little to quell the rising concern. Post-debate polls from CNN painted a bleak picture for the Democrats. From those who witnessed the verbal joust, an overwhelming 67 percent were convinced that Trump had the upper hand, leaving a scant 33 percent backing Biden's efforts. This discrepancy validated the notion that Biden had fallen significantly short, providing Trump with a clear edge in viewers' eyes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode -- which we recorded just after the historic rally in Washington, DC and as we approached the sixth Shabbat since October 7th -- I have a wide-ranging conversation with Yoni Levi in Tel Aviv and Jonathan Freedland in London. Yonit and Jonathan are co-hosts of the popular podcast, UnHoly, which you can find here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unholy-two-jews-on-the-news/id1548441108 This episode is a sharecast, in which we are dropping the conversation in each of our respective podcast feeds ("Call Me Back" & "UnHoly"). The episode begins with Yonit and Jonathan interviewing me, and then I interview them at the end. It's a spirited discussion. Yonit Levi has been anchoring television news broadcasts in Israel for over 20 years. She is the lead anchor of Israel's top primetime news programme on Channel 2, Israel's highest rated TV channel. Throughout her career, Yonit has interviewed numerous world leaders, including Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. Jonathan Freedland is a columnist for the Guardian newspaper and the host of the Guardian's Politics Weekly America podcast. He also presents BBC Radio 4's The Long View and is the author of the award-winning "The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World," along with several thrillers under the pseudonym Sam Bourne.

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.

It's an AFC North battle between the Bengals and Ravens in Baltimore. Both teams at four game winning streaks come to an end this past Sunday, losing right at the end of their game. Cincinnati beaten by Houston, and the Ravens blew a two touchdown lead and lost to Cleveland. The Baltimore quarterback is Lamar Jackson. Every game is a musk win for us, you know, not just cousin is in a division game, but we we definitely, I believe our team is definitely a lot hungrier just for more happened Sunday in a division loss in the closed game. We definitely hungry as well. So the Clinton Browns had that big win in Baltimore, led by their quarterback Deshaun Watson. He was fourteen to fourteen of the second half.

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.

On today's podcast: 1) The Israeli army conducted raids in northern Gaza on the outskirts of the Shati refugee camp, while a UN agency said that a naval strike had seriously damaged one of its guesthouses. 2) The US still faces a risk of a government shutdown at the end of this week despite a new compromise plan by Speaker Mike Johnson that leaves out hardline conservative priorities like cutting spending and curtailing migration. 3) The White House cited a resumption of US-China military communications as a priority ahead of this week's meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping.   Full transcript:  Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. Let's get the latest developments on the war in the Middle East. The US has conducted airstrikes in eastern Syria on targets link to Iran. Those strikes come as talks intensified to secure the release of hostages in the Gaza strip As Bloomberg News Managing editor Sylvia Westall reports, President Biden discussed that issue with the leader of Katar last night. Kata's quite question important role in this. It's already helped mediate between Israel, Hamas and foreign governments to release a small number of people and the estimates for around about two hundred hostages still trapped there, and are those talks ongoing. There's been discussions between Biden and the ruler of Katar and all these countries involved, and Israel said it won't even contemplate a cease far until those hostages are released. Bloomberg Sylvia west All reports President Biden also talked about increasing the flow of humanitarian assistance into Gaza with Cautter's premiere. Well, it's really Prime Minister Benjamin Etna who was asked about whether there could be a deal to exchange captives with Hamas. There could be, but I think the less I said about it, the more I'll increase the chancels that it materializes. And it's a result of pressure, military pressure, of the extraordinary work that the idea of was doing. And Prime Minister Nanya, who was on NBC's Meet the Press, but as really President Isaac Herzog is expressing caution, there are talks of behind the scenes. I cannot confirm any details. What I can say is that there's nothing substantial right now on the table. The United States is also heavily involved in this, so there's nothing tangible that I can report. Israeli President Isaac Herzog was a guest on CBS's Face the Nation, and you can hear Face the Nation and Meet the Press every Sunday on Bloomberg Radio. Turning to politics back here at Home, Karen, there is now one less Republican candidate for president. South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has ended his campaign. Scott says he will not immediately make an endorsement in the race, and he's not looking to join a Republican ticket as a vice presidential candidate Well Nathan. The US faces a risk of a government shutdown at the end of this week. Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson is trying a new approach to funding the government. By Bloomberg's At Baxter reports, the shutdown risks still Inger. The Johnson plan would extend some government funding until January nineteenth and others until February second. It also declined to do the immedia thirty percent spending cuts demanded by the right wing of his party, so that means fewer Republican votes and reliance on Democrats to cross lines and vote for it. He says, spending addiction cannot be broken overnight. Democrats so far have been moot. Whitehouse, though has already said it would only lead to future shutdowns. Johnson says he's scheduling a vote for tomorrow at Baxter Bloomberg Radio. All right, thank you well. Former New York Fed President Bill Dudley's warning the US fiscal position is on a quote unsustainable trajectory. Dudley is also a columnist form Bloomberg Opinion. He told the conference in Sydney there's a lack of political will to resolve the crisis at a time when debt costs are soaring, Nathan. The warning from Dudley comes just two days after the US was threatened with the loss of its last top credit rating. Moody's Investors' Service signaled it was inclined to downgrade the nation because of a wider budget deficits and political polarization. Deborah Cunningham is Global Liquidity Market's Chief investment officer at Federated Hermes. The concerns being bore what's happening from a congressional perspective, and the dysfunctionality from a lawmaking standpoint is the concern rather than the actual quantitative financials. So I think from an impact as much on the economy from an impact on where rates are at this point, I think that's behind US and debort Cunningham had federated Herme, says Moody's is the only one of the three main credit companies with a top rating on the US Karen, We're watching for major geopolitical news this week. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Shei Jinping are scheduled to meet face to face on Wednesday, as the United States hosts the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Conference for the first time since twenty eleven. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says resuming military communications is crucial when it comes to managing the relationship. Ties and communications between our two militaries are critical. The Chinese have basically severed those communication links. President Biden would like to re establish them, and he will look to this summit as an opportunity to try to advance the ball on that. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan tel CNN. The Biden she meetings also expected to cover the Israel Hamas War, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, human rights, and artificial intelligence well NY then ahead of the Biden She meeting. We are seeing signs of improving US China relations. Sources a Beijing is weighing ending a freeze on Boeing seven thirty seven Max aircraft in China. Boeing has not made any significant sales of its best selling narrow body jets in China since at least twenty eighteen. In another development, earlier this morning, the Emirates announced it was buying Boeing aircraft valued at fifty two billion dollars. So the broader market Karen investors have another major event to look forward to tomorrow when we get the latest reading on inflation with the Consumer Price Index for October. Anda Wong is chief US economist with Bloomberg Economics. We are expecting the headline CPI to be very soft because seasonally adjusted gasoline prices actually came down over five percent in October, so a month the increase of zero point one percent on the headline CPI. Bloomberg Chief US Economist Stana Wong says, over all consumer price data are expected to show inflation easing to a year on year rate of three point three percent in October. Time. Now for look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that. We're joined by Bloomberg Scott Carr, Scott, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. Donald Trump Junior will be back on the stands today in New York as the first defense witness in the Trump organization civil fraud trial. The Trump family organizations being accused of fraudulently inflating their wealth on paper to obtain better loans. The New York Attorney General's Office ended its arguments last Wednesday and was denied a motion to limit certain expert witnesses from testifying for the defense. One person is dead four others injured after a shooting at a flea market in Texas. Police in Perlin, Texas, say three adults and two children were shot at the popular street market yesterday afternoon. Officer Chad Rodgers says the incident started as an argument between two people, though it's unclear if they both had guns. Three adult victims and two children, so a lot of people that are very very upset, and this does not appear to be a targeted attack on the flea market. That this was a disturbance between two individuals that resulted in people being shot. So far, no arrest have been made. All five victims were taken to local hospitals. A state of emergencies been declared in Los Angeles by California Governor Gavin Newsom after fire broke out underneath a storage yard early Saturday morning, igniting highly flammable wooden palettes. Trailers and cars then jump to another storage yard, growing in size to eight acres at one point, causing the closure of LA's Highway ten in both directions. The freeway remains closed, and officials say they'll be lucky if they can get one lane open today. The traffic is going to be horrendous. It's going to really impact Los Angeles. The blaze burned through the equivalent of six football fields. The governor says the state is mobilizing resources to complete repairs and minimize the impact for travel in and around the city. Iceland is evacuating a resort town south of the capital of Reykovic how to fear the town of Grindevic may be destroyed by a volcanic eruption. The town is near an active volcanic system and was evacuated over the weekend after magma shifting beneath the ground triggered hundreds of earthquakes. Local officials say that magma was at a very shallow depth, so they were expecting an eruption at any time. Global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Scott Carran. This is Bloomberg all right, Scott, thank you, while we're bringing news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But now, as Scott said, 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 Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcast. Time Now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, here's John stash Hour John Karen Sunday, number ten in the NFL began for the second week in a row in Frankfurt, Germany. The Colts beat the Patriots ten to six. That drops New England to two to eight, their second three game winning streaking the season. They have the worst record in the AFC. Only Carolina has the worst record in the NFL. The Patriots have scored over seventeen points only twice in ten games. Another win for red hot Houston Texans. It was thirty to twenty seven at Cincinnati. Texans won and on a field goal on the final play. They've gone five games, which is more than they had won in any of the last three seasons. Bengals four game wins streak comes to an end. They fall the last place in the AFC North, where Cleveland won at Baltimore thirty three to thirty one. The Browns were down by fourteen with nine minutes left, scored two touchdowns in the fort

Israel's border, with Lebanon. It was the most intense day of fighting since October seventh, a lot of back and forth fire, some civilians and civilians were injured. Israeli civilians were injured in these fire exchange exchanges. So Israel has been retaliating, you know, all the time to these attacks. There's also been some attacks this morning, although at a slightly lower scale with no one with no one injured. The Tel Aviv stock exchange is down for a second straight day following these events. So this is being closely watched on all fronts. And you know, I will mention finally that Israeli Defense minister, you have Glanc's ass at a press conference on Saturday night, what would be Israel's redline on this border? And he answered the reporter who asked this, when we strike in remoot, you'll know that this red line had been crossed. 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 one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh six' 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, Serious XM, the iHeartRadio app, and on Blue 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

Progressives, liberals, and the Left more generally say they are advocating for social, racial, and economic progress. And yet when you point out how much progress we have already achieved, many progressives deny it. Point out how much police brutality has declined and many progressives will accuse you of racial insensitivity. Point out how much carbon emissions and pollution have declined and people on the Left will accuse you of climate denial. And point out that, in the US, people are freer than ever to choose their romantic partners, and progressive people will insist that you are ignoring a “trans genocide.” Certainly, some on the Left recognize the progress we've made, when it suits them. Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and other Democrats routinely point to the achievements of the civil rights, women's rights, and gay rights movements. But activists, students, professors and journalists emphasize that racism, sexism, and homophobia are as bad as ever, and perhaps worse, because they are more insidious. Why is that?Part of the answer, as usual, is money. NGOs and journalists need to raise the alarm to raise money and sell subscriptions. But much of progress denialism comes from people who don't have an immediate financial interest in hyping societal or environmental problems. Why do they do it?

An Iranian man who honked the horn of his car to celebrate Iran's defeat by the United States in the World Cup was reportedly murdered by the despotic Iranian regime's security forces. First lady Jill Biden probably thought she was being cute when she talked about fish sticks in setting out the lavish preparations for tonight's state dinner in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron. Presidents Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron are celebrating the long-standing U.S.-French relationship, but these are friends with differences. The French leader is using his visit to Washington to sharply criticize aspects of his ally's signature climate law as a bad deal for Europe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(La'Tanta) McCrimmon has one of the most challenging jobs in North Carolina politics:  She serves as the Legislative Director for Governor Roy Cooper at the General Assembly.  L.T. talks about her life growing up in rural Scotland County, the influence of her mother and great-grandmother, her political work for Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, and how she goes about her work as the chief lobbyist for a Democratic governor who doesn't always see eye-to-eye with a Republican-controlled General Assembly. Skye and Brian also celebrate the Halifax Resolves, unpack a new WRAL issue/candidate poll, and former President Donald Trump visits Johnston County.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, and the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association.   

There is a ton of hypocrisy on the “news” networks about Putin's savagery. He's savage alright, and his is a war of aggression. But how dare we? Remember a little Iraqi boy with the charred torso? (https://www.ilanamercer.com/2003/04/murder-by-majority/) Uncle Sam did that. What about this little armless Iraqi child and thousands like him? Did Putin disarm him? https://www.ilanamercer.com/2003/04/on-pimps-and-presstitutes/  LOOK at little Shakira, a Pakistani tot “burned beyond recognition by a U.S. drone and left for dead in a trashcan.” https://www.ilanamercer.com/2012/02/bho-uncle-sams-assassin/   David Vance and ilana mercer almost lose their lunch over the sanctimony and hypocrisy evinced by the media, right and left, over Putin's apparent “unparalleled” brutality. ©David Vance indicts the not-to-be-believed presstitutes who should be embedded with both sides to a conflict, but, instead, are in-bed with Ukraine.  Having sat out the 67 and 73 wars in Israeli bomb shelters —©Ilana Mercer anatomizes some features of old-school diplomacy and statesmanship utterly absent from the repertoire of both Presidents Joe Biden and that ass with ears, Volodymyr Zelensky. Both are a disgrace and a failure.  This is “Hard Truth” you'll hear nowhere else.  *** DAVID VANCE is one of the most outspoken, fearless political commentators in the UK and bears the scars for it. Having been in front-line politics as Deputy Leader of the UK Unionist Party for some years, he was delighted to oppose the anti-democratic Belfast Agreement and the Clintonian-Blair forces behind that. He even wrote a book about it all called “Unionism Decayed” (2008). David has been a successful businessman for decades and prides himself on his independence. He has turned in stellar appearances on ALL mainstream UK political programs, before being … cancelled. He doesn't care!
