Get up and get informed! Here's all the local news you need to start your day: The number of evictions and booted cars surged in New York City in 2023. As WNYC's David Brand reports, that meant big business for the city's marshals. Meanwhile, former U.S. Representative George Santos is expected to plead guilty to federal fraud charges on Monday. Santos faces a 23-count indictment for identity theft, credit card fraud, and stealing campaign funds in a conspiracy to mislead donors.

This Day in Legal History: Salem Witch Trial ExecutionsOn August 19, 1692, five individuals—four men and one woman—were executed for witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, during the height of the Salem Witch Trials. This dark period in American colonial history saw widespread hysteria and a fervent belief in the supernatural, leading to accusations against more than 200 people. The five executed on this day were Reverend George Burroughs, John Proctor, John Willard, George Jacobs Sr., and Martha Carrier. Despite their protests of innocence, they were condemned by the courts based on dubious evidence, including spectral evidence, which allowed testimonies of visions and dreams to be admissible. Reverend Burroughs, who had previously served as a minister in Salem, recited the Lord's Prayer perfectly before his execution—an act thought impossible for a witch—yet he was still hanged. The executions marked a turning point in the trials, as public opinion began to shift, questioning the legitimacy of the proceedings. The tragic events of this day highlight the dangers of mass hysteria and the miscarriage of justice when reason is overshadowed by fear.Former U.S. Representative George Santos, expelled from Congress in December 2023, is expected to plead guilty to multiple criminal corruption charges on August 19, 2024, according to sources. Santos, a Republican, faces federal charges for misusing campaign funds for personal expenses, fraudulently charging donors' credit cards, and receiving unemployment benefits while employed. These actions led to his removal from office after just 11 months, during which he was widely discredited for fabricating parts of his past. A House Ethics Committee investigation revealed Santos spent campaign funds on luxury items and services, further fueling the scandal. Democrat Tom Suozzi won the seat in a special election.Expelled former Rep. Santos to plead guilty to corruption charges, source says | ReutersOn August 17, 2024, the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, announced it would close its operations in Brazil immediately due to what it described as "censorship orders" by Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes. X, owned by Elon Musk, claims that Moraes threatened to arrest one of the company's legal representatives if X did not comply with orders to remove certain content. The platform shared a document, allegedly signed by Moraes, outlining fines and arrest threats against their representative. In response, X decided to shut down its operations in Brazil to protect its staff. Despite the closure, the service remains accessible to Brazilian users. The conflict stems from earlier legal disputes, where Moraes ordered X to block accounts associated with spreading misinformation and hate speech during former President Jair Bolsonaro's government. Musk has publicly criticized Moraes, calling his actions unconstitutional.X says it is closing operations in Brazil due to judge's content orders | ReutersSonder Holdings Inc., an alternative-lodging company, has struck a series of deals to raise capital and integrate its brand into Marriott International Inc.'s system to improve its financial stability. After a steep decline in market value from $2.3 billion to $29 million, Sonder secured $43 million in preferred equity and $83 million in additional liquidity from existing lenders. The company has also entered a long-term licensing agreement with Marriott, allowing its properties to be listed on Marriott's platforms under the "Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy" brand. This partnership is expected to drive demand and reduce costs, aiding Sonder's path to profitability. Additionally, Marriott's Bonvoy loyalty program will allow members to earn and redeem points at Sonder properties. Sonder's CEO, Francis Davidson, believes this collaboration will help the company expand and attract more business travelers. The integration is expected to be completed by 2025, providing Sonder with a more stable financial footing.Sonder to Announce Marriott License Deal, Additional Liquidity This is a public episode.

This week, yet another prominent figure from the Republican party has decided to step down earlier than expected from his position in the House, a decision that could potentially impact the thin GOP majority that currently exists in the lower chamber. Representative Ken Buck of Colorado, who previously declared his intention not to pursue re-election this year, made no specific mention of the reasoning behind his decision to leave his post prior to the end of his ongoing term, set to conclude in January 2025. In a heartfelt statement, Buck expressed: 'I've had the privilege of fulfilling my duty to the citizens of Colorado's 4th District in Congress for nearly a decade. Their unwavering support and motivation over these years have been humbling.' He continued, 'I wish to declare that my service in Congress will conclude by the close of the following week. I eagerly anticipate remaining engaged in our nation's political discourse, along with embracing more family time and opportunities to immerse myself in Colorado's cultural environment.' Buck did, however, provide further clarity when speaking to the press, referring to the ongoing impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, which is heavily shaped around allegations of corruption. He lamented the state of affairs, saying, 'We have sensationalized impeachment, turning it into a buzzword fit for the social media era, rather than respecting it as the solemn constitutional instrument it is. This place is not as I remember, and I've concluded that it's time to shift my focus elsewhere.' Following Buck's unexpected announcement, the prediction of a special election to appoint a successor to serve out the remaining tenure of his term has slowly begun stirring excitement, although there's an absence of official declarations so far. Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who currently represents the state's 3rd Congressional District, is believed to be amongst those jockeying for a place in the contest to secure the 4th Congressional District's seat for the term beginning next year. Buck's decision to leave office means that the Republicans will now have 218 members whilst the Democrats are at 213. The ability of the GOP to lead is still precariously hinged on the fact that they can only afford to lose two votes on issues that strictly follow party-lines, given full member attendance. Speaker Mike Johnson expressed his surprise at Buck's decision, hinting towards an upcoming conversation with him. The 435-member chamber has three vacant seats at the moment, thanks to a reshuffle that saw the vacancy left by the expulsion of Representative George Santos filled by Democrat Tom Suozzi through a special election last month. After losing his position as the Speaker in October, Representative Kevin McCarthy from California chose to step away from Congress at the year's end. As a result of McCarthy's exit, California has scheduled a primary for March 19 and, if no candidate manages to garner at least 50% of the votes, a general election will take place on May 21. This will determine who will serve out the remainder of McCarthy's term. Vince Fong, a top contender who has the backing of McCarthy, managed to secure a lead spot in the top-two primary competition for the upcoming term, earning his place on the November ballot. At the beginning of this week, additional progress inside the House was blurry at best, with no clear direction on who else would be moving forward. Another significant exit comes from Ohio Representative Bill Johnson, who in January resigned from his position as a legislator to assume the role of president at Youngstown State University. With Johnson's departure, Ohio is proceeding with a special election primary for the now-vacant seat on March 19, followed by a general election scheduled for June 11. From the Democratic side, there was another significant shift when the Buffalo-area Representative Brian Higgins relinquished his position in Congress in February to be appointed as president and Chief Executive Officer of Shea's Performing Arts Center. The date for the special election to secure Higgins' spot for the remaining term length has been scheduled for April 30. The unexpected exit from Representative Buck has added to the ongoing dynamism of the current political landscape. The people of Colorado, and indeed the nation, wait to see what will transpire in the forthcoming months. These developments, significant as they are, contribute to the dynamic narrative of American politics. It exemplifies how the leadership's landscape can be reshaped overnight with unforeseen departures and new entrants. However, every closure brings the promise of a new beginning, signaling that the stage is set for an exciting era of politics. While the uncertainties continue to hover around the future political scenario, it is certain that the American political discourse remains vibrant and energetic. Additionally, lawmakers' departures present new opportunities for forward-thinking candidates to step up and provide fresh perspectives that align with their constituents' values. The departure of established figures like Buck and others not only heralds the end of an era but also sets into motion the beginnings of the next. And within these changes, the hope persists that the successors will uphold the legacy of their predecessors while navigating the country forward, embodying the essence of American resilience. The reshuffling of seats and the anticipation of fresh faces in Congress can be viewed as a sign of the pulsating political dynamics currently at play. With every exit comes a potential pathway for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and transformative leadership that could shape the future political landscape. While some may view these changes with trepidation, others will see them as a thrilling political evolution. As we witness the ebb and flow in the political arena, let's remind ourselves that change, after all, is the only constant. And as one part of our political history ends with these departures, an exciting chapter starts afresh. The focus now shifts to the promising successors, their actions, and the ensuing impacts on the future governance of this great nation.

President Biden, alongside Jordan's King Abdullah, emphasized the need to protect over a million Palestinians in Rafah amid Israel's offensive. The Egyptian government threatened to void the Camp David Accords if the IDF invades Rafah while Netanyahu insists on sending ground troops to defeat Hamas. The IDF also discovered a tunnel network under UNRWA's headquarters in Gaza, suggesting it was used for intelligence purposes by Hamas. Back on the coup beat, Donald Trump has filed a request with the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, which determined he is not immune from prosecution for election interference.

The Washington Roundtable: Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced his resignation from Congress this week, not long after a coup by several of his Republican colleagues cost him the leadership. The lawmaker who had temporarily filled the Speaker position—Representative Patrick McHenry of North Carolina—also announced his departure from the lower chamber. But it's not just former House Speakers who are leaving their positions. Dozens of members of the 118th Congress are not running for reëlection. Some are leaving to run for higher office, others are retiring, yet others have simply had enough—and one, Representative George Santos, was expelled. Former Representative Jim Cooper, Democrat of Tennessee, joins the New Yorker staff writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos on this week's episode to analyze this phenomenon. “It's really become a clown show, and elections are like clown swapping,” he tells them. “I don't think there is a Republican Party anymore, and, if there is one, it's ungovernable because they eat their own.” Cooper and the hosts discuss what it is like to be in Congress, the state of the Republican Party, and the forces driving the recent exodus of members. Have thoughts on The Political Scene?

Representative George Santos has announced he will not seek re-election amidst a storm of ethics and criminal law violations. The House Ethics Committee's report is a damning account revealing Santos' misuse of campaign funds for personal extravagance, including spa visits and luxury shopping. This is more than a misstep, it's a systematic abuse of power and donor trust. Despite Santos dismissing it as a smear, the evidence is overwhelming. His actions represent a disturbing pattern of deceit, from fabricating loans to engaging in fraudulent business activities. The saga isn't just about Santos stepping down, it's a critical reminder of the need for moral integrity in the political system. As the House weighs his expulsion, a precedent-setting move for a non-convicted member, we're reminded of the grave responsibility of leaders.

This day in legal history, November 15th stands out as a significant moment in American legal history with the adoption of the Articles of Confederation by the Continental Congress in 1777. This critical step marked the formation of the United States of America under its first governing document. The Articles of Confederation were revolutionary, establishing a loose federation of sovereign states and a federal government with limited powers, a novel concept at the time.Crafted during the tumultuous times of the American Revolution, the Articles reflected the colonies' wariness of a strong central authority, a sentiment rooted in their experiences under British rule. The document provided a framework for national coordination, particularly in matters of defense and foreign affairs, while preserving the independence and sovereignty of each state.However, the Articles had significant limitations. They lacked provisions for a strong executive branch and a federal judiciary, and Congress, the sole governing body, had limited authority. It couldn't levy taxes or regulate commerce, leading to economic difficulties and interstate conflicts.These shortcomings became increasingly apparent, leading to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The result was the U.S. Constitution, which addressed many of the weaknesses of the Articles and laid the foundation for the robust federal system in place today.Nevertheless, the adoption of the Articles of Confederation was a milestone in American history. It represented the first attempt to unify the thirteen colonies under a single governmental framework and set the stage for the development of the United States as a nation. On this day, we remember the Articles of Confederation as a crucial step in the evolution of American democracy and legal governance.Meta Platforms Inc., Google, and TikTok, along with Snap Inc. and Discord Inc., are facing numerous federal lawsuits over claims that they are responsible for addicting young users to social media. US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, overseeing these cases in Oakland, California, has allowed several of these claims to proceed while dismissing others, including product liability accusations. The judge rejected the defense by these companies that they are protected under the First Amendment and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which they claimed immunized them from personal injury claims related to user-generated content.The ruling noted that the companies used algorithms to hook adolescents and young adults, allegedly causing mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness. School districts have also filed complaints, accusing the platforms of creating a public nuisance. Plaintiffs argue that the mental health crisis among American youth is a direct result of harmful product designs by these social media companies.Google, in response, emphasized their commitment to child safety across platforms, stating that allegations in the complaints are unfounded. The lawsuits seek both an injunction against allegedly harmful practices and damages. This legal development follows a surge in concern over social media's impact on youth, highlighted by former Meta employee Frances Haugen's whistleblower revelations in 2021. The case, officially titled In Re Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation, continues to unfold in the US District Court, Northern District of California.Meta, Google, TikTok Must Face Hundreds of Addiction Suits (1)Social media companies must face youth addiction lawsuits, US judge rules | ReutersSamuel Miele, a former fundraiser for U.S. Representative George Santos, pleaded guilty to wire fraud related to campaign donations, adding to the mounting legal pressure on Santos. Miele, 27, admitted to impersonating the chief of staff for then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in emails soliciting donations and making unauthorized credit card charges to benefit the campaign and personally enrich himself. He acknowledged collecting a 15% commission on the funds raised and causing over $100,000 in unauthorized charges. As part of his plea, Miele agreed to pay significant sums in restitution and forfeiture.Prosecutor Laura Zuckerwise highlighted the impact of such fraud on democracy, promising vigorous prosecution. Judge Joanna Seybert set Miele's sentencing for April 30, 2024, with a potential prison term of 27 to 33 months. Miele's lawyer emphasized his client's acknowledgment of his mistakes and acceptance of responsibility.The case intensifies scrutiny on Santos, who faces accusations of fraud and campaign finance violations from his 2022 campaign, including misrepresenting campaign fund sources and using them for personal expenses. Santos's trial is scheduled for September, ahead of his planned re-election campaign. He has been accused of multiple offenses, including false financial disclosures and unauthorized credit card charges.Additionally, former Santos campaign treasurer Nancy Marks pleaded guilty to related charges last month. Despite the allegations, Santos has maintained his innocence and intends to continue in office and run for re-election. The Republican Party, holding a slim majority in the House, has resisted efforts to expel Santos. House Speaker Mike Johnson faces challenges in passing legislation due to the narrow majority, with Santos's vote becoming increasingly significant. The House Ethics Committee is expected to conduct an investigation, which could influence future decisions regarding Santos's position in Congress.Ex-Santos Fundraiser Pleads Guilty in Case Tied to Lawmaker (2)The trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump for election interference in Georgia might extend into early 2025, as indicated by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Willis, leading the prosecution, stated at a Washington Post Live event that the trial would likely be lengthy, potentially concluding in the winter of 2024 or early 2025, coinciding with the 2024 presidential election season. Trump, a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, and 18 others face charges related to allegedly conspiring to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results, where Joe Biden narrowly won. To date, four co-defendants, including three of Trump's lawyers, have pleaded guilty to lesser charges, while Trump and the remaining defendants have pleaded not guilty. The judge overseeing the case has not set a trial date yet and has suggested the possibility of separate trials for different aspects of the case. District Attorney Willis expressed disappointment over the leak of video clips from guilty plea statements to the media, including one that quoted a former Trump lawyer discussing Trump's refusal to leave the White House. Willis has filed a motion to prevent further public release of evidence, with a court hearing scheduled to address this issue.Trump's Georgia election trial might not conclude until 2025, says prosecutor | ReutersThe American Bar Association (ABA) is set to vote on new free speech rules for law schools, a decision prompted by recent campus conflicts, particularly those involving Israeli and Palestinian supporters. These rules are a response to the need for free expression in legal education and law development, necessitated by events at several prominent law schools over the past two years. The proposed standard emphasizes the importance of free, robust, and uninhibited idea exchange, covering a wide range of viewpoints.According to the proposal, law schools would be required to create free speech policies that protect faculty, staff, and students' rights to express controversial or unpopular ideas, including through debates, demonstrations, or protests. These policies would also need to prohibit disruptive activities that impede free expression or significantly interfere with law school functions. Activities that pose genuine threats, harassment, defamation, or violate laws could be restricted.While the proposed rule lacks a specific enforcement mechanism, non-compliance could lead to a law school losing its accreditation. If passed by the ABA Council, the rule will be presented to the ABA's House of Delegates in February for final approval.The proposal follows incidents at Stanford and Yale Law Schools where students disrupted controversial speakers, and a case at New York University School of Law where a student leader was removed for a controversial statement in an online newsletter. Public comments on the proposal, mostly supportive, suggest a demand for clearer definitions of harassment and protections against unprotected speech, but the ABA has chosen to maintain a general statement to allow law schools flexibility in drafting their policies.Law school free speech rules set for American Bar Association vote | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

here:Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the latest developments in the Middle East. President Biden says Israel and Hamasa should pause fighting to allow time to free more people from the Gaza Strip. Speaking in Minnesota, the President responded to a protester who demanded a full ceasefire. The United States are going to continue to drive humanitarian support pretas and people on Gaza who need help, and they do need help. We're going to continue to affirm that Israel has the right to respond responsibility to defended citizens from terror, and it needs to do so on a manner of those consistent international and humanitarian law. The presidents also hailed international efforts to open the Rafa border crossing, which allowed hundreds to leave the territory yesterday. Hamas says six hundred more are expected to leave today, including four hundred American citizens. Well, Nathan, we now turned to politics back home. Another attempt by fellow New York Republicans to expel Representative George Santos from the House fell short last night, and Bloomberg's Amy Morris has details from Washington. George Santos is indicted on fraud charges and accused of misconduct. The vote to remove him requires two thirds majority. House Speaker Mike Johnson argued that an expulsion should be contingent on a criminal conviction or some official finding of ethical misconduct. Santo says the vote was a victory for due process. I feel like due process is still alive. I feel like there's enough colleagues on both sides of the aisle here who understand that this was the second time Santos survived in expulsion vote. On Tuesday night, the Ethics Committee said it would reveal its next course of action by November seventeenth, regarding its inquiry into allegations of misconduct in Washington. I Mamy Moore as Bloomberg Radio, all right, Amy, thank you. Meanwhile, the civil fraud trial against former President Donald Trump has reached a key moment. The former president's oldest son has taken the stand. Donald Trump Junior told the judge he was not involved in preparing financial statements for his father's company. In his words, the accountants worked on it. New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump and his two eldest sons of inflating asset values by billions illegal profits. Trump juniors do back on the stand today. The former president is set to testify on Monday. Well, Nathan, we have another big trial in New York and nearing its and jury deliberations could begin as soon as today. In the fraud trial of Sam bankman Fried Bloomberg, the legal reporter AVA Benny Morrison was in the courtroom for the closing arguments. Bank Munfree lawyer Mark Cohen has tended to use metaphors and his jury addresses in this trial, and he suggested that the government had wrongly painted Sam as a villain, as a monster in a Hollywood film about a grand fraud scheme. He said that certainly wasn't the case. Yes, at one point his client was probably the worst dress CEO in the country and had bad hair. To anyone and everyone, including journalists, had a messy life, but that wasn't a crime. And Bloomberg's eva, Bennie Morrison says macbin Freed is charged with seven counts of fraud and money laundering following the collapse of his ftx cryptocurrency last year. Karen, let's now turn to a busy day for the markets. Investors are still reacting to what appears to be a douvish pivot by j Powell. After holding rates steady for a second consecutive meeting, the Fed chairman hinted the central Bank may now be finished with the most aggressive tightening cycle in four decades. Jeffrey Rosenberg is a senior portfolio manager at black Rock. Clearly what the market saw was a preference for the worry of tightening financial conditions. We're at sufficiently restricted, we could be done, black Rocks. Jeff Rosenberg notes, following the Powell news conference, a ten year treasure yield tumbled below four point seventy five percent for the first time in two weeks. Still following this morning now at four point seventy two percent, and Nathan, we also get a policy decision overseas this morning. Economists expect the Bank of England to hold rates for a second consecutive meeting. Turning two earnings, shares of Shell are higher by two percent. Third quarter profit rows on a combination of higher energy prices, strong gas trading, and wider refining margins. The oil Jeff is also accelerating the pace of share buybacks well. Staying in Europe, Nathan. Barclay's is embarking on a plan to reduce its global workforce, but the British bank is planning to spare its Asia business from the bulk of job cuts. We spoke earlier with Barclay's CEO cs vn Kada Krishnan. In Asia, we of course have very booming economies and we also have a very growing business, so proportionately it's far less likely to impact this region. However, Barclay's CEO cs Van Kate Krishnan added that it would be ambitious for the bank to consider expanding into Wealth and China, and should instead focus on doing better in the UK. Let's turn back here to the US, Karen, because investors here are awaiting earnings from the world's most valuable company, Apple. It reports this afternoon, and we get a preview from Bloomberg's Tom Busby. Apple's iPhone fifteen lineup released on September twenty seconds, just about a week before the quarter rented, but the company will give investors early sales data on the new fifteens, hoping the show that it's off to a rate start ahead of the all important holiday season. Bloomberg consensus calls for Ernix per share of a dollar thirty nine revenues of eighty nine point three four billion, about half of that from smartphones. Tom Busby, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Tom, thanks well. Disney reports earnings next week, but it is making news this morning. The company is moving to take full control of the Hulu streaming service. Begin more from Bloomberg Stunt Risner. Complete ownership helps integrate Hulu into the Disney Plus streaming service, and now co owners Disney and Comcast must arrive at a price. Under a twenty nineteen deal, the two agreed Hulu would be worth no less than twenty seven and a half billion dollars. Where might the money come from. Disney could sell legacy assets like ABC and CEO Bob Iger is open to selling a minority stake in ESPN. In New York Time. Doug Prisoner, Bloomberg Radio, Nathan, Thanks. 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 Moore. Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. Republican senators angrily challenged Senator Tommy Tubberville on his blockade of almost four hundred military officers taking over the Senate floor for more than four hours to call for individual confirmation votes after a month's long stalemate. Republican Dan Sullivan of Alaska warned of dire quants consequence by the way Shujinping is watching us right now, going, I can't believe they're not letting these guys command. I'm scared the death of subs. Senator Sullivan says if the standoff continues in officers do leave the military, Tuberville's BLOCKABE will be remembered as quote non national security suicide mission. The House could vote today on a bill providing aid to Israel. It's the first legislation under the new House Speaker Mike Johnson. But Johnson's bill would not only uncouple the aid to Ukraine that the Biden administrator wanted, but also would redirect funding already earmarked for the IRS. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin says, that's a state. There's no human being. No business can amass the amount of debt that we have and be successful. You just can't do it. So we have to get our dead under So anything we do should be concerned about the debt. But right now we're fighting to survive, and Republican Lindsey Graham says without funding for Ukraine, the bill just won't make it through the Senate. Hama says almost six hundred more foreigners and dual nationals, including four hundred American citizens, are expected to leave Gaza today. That would be the second batch to exit since the border with Egypt was opened yesterday. We get more with Bloomberg. To Oliver Crook in Tel Aviv, we had two categories of people that were allowed to leave Gaza and go into Egypt. The first wee the wounded Egyptian ambulances carrying some Palestinians out who had been hurt during the fighting and during the bombardments. They're being treated in a field hospital in the northern Sini. But the second are the foreigners that are now being permitted to cross over. Bloomberg's Oliver Crook tells us there are about one thousand US citizens in Gaza, and four hundred of them be permitted to leave. Today. Global News twenty four hours a day and whatever you want it with Bloomberg News now, I maybe Morrison, this is Bloomberg. Karen, all right, Amy, thank you, while we 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 wanted. 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 noow on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot com plus Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update. Here's John stash Hour John Yarn. The Texas Rangers are World Series champions for the first time, and they did it by doing something that may never be done again. They won eleven to zero on the road in the postseason. They just won their third straight game at Arizona. It was five to nothing even though the Rangers didn't get a hit until the seventh inning off Zach Gallen. They score running the seventh and then got four more than ninth. Nathan Evaldi worked out of trouble. The Diamondbacks had runners in scoring position in each of the first five innings, but if Aldi finished the postseason going five and zero. Corey Seeger was the MVP, as he was when the Dodgers won the World Series three years ago. A couple of things about Bob Knight's life undeniable. Massively successful as a college basketball coach at Army Indiana and Texas Tech. He won over nine hundred games, three national championships. His team in nineteen seventy six, still the last to go undefeated. Also undeniable, the demons that led Knight to throw a chair during a game choked the player in a practice, he grabbed the arm of a student who called him by his last name. That led to his departure at Indiana. Bob Knight passed away at the age of eighty three. The Celtics are undefeated. They scored one hundred and fifty five points, the most in a game since nineteen fifty nine. They beat the Pacers in Boston by fifty. The Wizards lost in Atlanta one thirty to one twenty one. The Warriors on a Klay Thompson shot. If the Buzzer top Sacramento by a point, shocks dash that our Bloomberg sports from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on SYRIASXAM, the Bloomberg Business app and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. As the Israel Humas war continues, President Biden is calling for a pause in fighting. That's so more people can be allowed to be released from the Gaza Strip to be moved out of harm's way. This is as Israel faces some wavering support for its ongoing ground effort from parts of the global South. And for more on all this, we're joined by Roslind Mathis and Bloomberg's news director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Roz, Good morning. Can you get us updated first off on how the effort to get more people out of harm's way is going well? As you say, it looks like they might get another six hundred or so people out today. That was after they are about eighty people who could leave across that crossing called the Rougher crossing between Gaza and Egypt yesterday. But these are mostly either people who are elderly and wounded in need of urgent medical care, but also those who are holding a foreign passport, so they've got passports from Australia, Asia, the US and elsewhere. And it's a really small number of people In the end, when you think about the number of people who are currently bunched up inside Gaza, many of them have moved further south towards that crossing, but they don't have any means to leave at the moment. This is really just those people who have foreign nationals or in need of very very urgent medical care. And what we know is that the attacks inside Gaza are continuing. The Israeli forces are pushing further towards Gaza City, which is the very very high density area, and that's going to lend itself towards staor to door combat. In the end, we know the aerial strikes are continuing. After those attacks on the refugee camp in recent days. Israel says it was striking Hamas there because they say that Hamas is using those refugee camps as strongholds. But it looks like Israel is moving towards an approach of effectively severing Gaza into so separating North Gaza from the south. That's going to push people even further towards the south and bunched up towards the Rougher crossing. But it's really only just a handful of people so far getting out, and I guess it would make it that much harder to tell whether the people that are being allowed to leave Gaza at this point are some of the hostages that Israel says Hamas is still holding a number of hostages that seems to be steadily rising day by day. Well, that's right, and just reflects the overall confusion. Really in a wartime, it's very difficult to get clear information. And what we know is that bit by bed it seems that they are, in fact even more hostages than were initially known about, are scattered in different areas of the Gaza strip, and the negotiations are continuing via intermediaries. Katar and others are involved in that, but it doesn't seem like they're making major progress towards the whole release of the rest of those hostages. Again, it's very much a trickle, if any. And so what you've got is that situation of only a few people coming out of Gaza, limited aid going in, and a real clear sense, especially from Egypt on that border crossing, they don't want hundreds of thousands of people coming their way. Yeah, it sounds like a trickle both ways of people moving out and AID moving in. And as this effort continues, we are starting to see a little bit more erosion for support for Israel, particularly from Jordan and some left just leaders in Latin America. What does that tell us about how support for Israel could continue as this effort goes on. Well, as you say, we're seeing greater noises from countries and what we often call together collectively the Global South, at some nations in Africa, in Latin America, in Asia and so on, including sort of Muslim majority nations Malaysia and Indonesia in Asia, and just strong expressions of concern about the situation inside Gaza. And against that, you've got countries in Europe, in the US still sort of issuing strong statements of support for Israel in the aftermath of what was a shocking attack on Israel on October seven. But equally then you even had the US President Joe Biden yesterday saying that he's in favor of what he's calling a pause in the fighting. What these countries seem to be calling a pause or a halt or a temporary something, any word to use other than saying the word ceasefire, which is politically very difficult, But even they are saying it because they're seeing the level of the impact inside Gaza, and so as time goes on, if this conflict really does go on for weeks and months, as Israel is indicating, and the humanitarian cost of that increases in Gaza, you'll only see more and more people potentially moving away from that overt level of support for 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 six to 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 Channel one nineteen, the 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

1Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the stories we're following today. Amy, we begin with breaking developments in the war in the Middle East. The US has now conducted military strikes, and we get more from Bloomberg's Rosalind mathieson the US has struck two targets, they say inside Syria. They say they were aiming at Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard and basically a warning again to some of these proxy groups that are operating in the region potential on behalf of Iran, because what we've seen is an escalation the pattern of attacks or targeting of US military assets in the region. Bloomberg's Rosalind Mathison says Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is characterized in the US strikes as separate and distinct from the Israel Hamas war, and Nathan the strikes come as Iran's born minister warned the US won't be spared if the war between Israel and Hamas spreads. Born Minister Hossain Amir abdo Lahi and delivered the threat in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly. We do not welcome to expansion of the war in the region, but are you all If the genocide in Gasse continues, they will not be spared from this fire. The comments by Iran's foreign minister comes as Israel says it sent troops on a limited raid into Gaza for the second straight night. Now amy to the latest on the deadly mass shooting in Maine, an intense search continues for Robert Card, the forty year old Army reservist accused of killing eighteen people inside a bowling alley and bar in the city of Lewiston. The city's mayor, Carl Shalen, is telling people to stay off the streets. This is the time for action, solidarity and support. Please take note the shelter and place order issued by the Lewiston Police Department remains in effect. Please stay at home and be safe. Lewiston Mayor Carl Shalen says much of the focus has been one of cards relatives' homes in the rural town of Boden f Behind. Other agents surrounded the property, ordering anyone in Scientist surrender after several hours, though state police said it was not clear if anyone had been there. The newly anointed Speaker of the House is commenting about the latest deadly shooting. Mike Johnson does not think it's a gun problem the end of the day, it's the problem is the human heart. It's not guns, not the weapons. At the end of the day, we have to protect the right of the citizens to protect themselves and that's the Second Amendment and that's why our party sends show strongly for that. Speaker Johnson made the comments in an interview with Fox's Sean Hennity and said that now is not the time for new gun laws. I Meanwhile, Amy the House passed its first major piece of legislation since Johnson became Speaker, and it flies in the face of President Biden's emphasis on energy efficiency. Bloomberg zed Baxter has the story. It cuts into the Inflation Reduction Act, which incentivized homeowners to switch to more energy efficient appliances, and into money that helps stage craft more stringent building energy codes. The effect of this which strip billions of dollars put aside for consumer rebates. Speaker Mike Johnson in the past has criticized the spending on climate and clean energy measures as green energy slush funds. It's not expected to pass the Senate or get a Biden's signature ad Baxter Bloomberg Radio, Thank you ed Now. An update on the trial of Sam Bankman Freed. The FDx founder, spent almost three hours trying to convince a judge to allow him to testify to a jury about the role lawyers played in the collapse of the crypto exchange. Bloomberg's Bob van Vories is covering the case in Lower Manhattan. He spent the entire afternoon on the spand but he was previewing testimony that he wants to give relating to advice that he got from lawyers. So Judge Kaplan is listened to the testimony. It's going to rule in the morning. What the jury gets to hear. They got sent home after lunch. Bloomberg's Bob van Voris says, Bank and Freed's team is trying to show many of the transactions are the subject of criminal charges conducted in the full view of lawyers. Turning to markets, Amy Watch and shares of Amazon, they are hired by more than five percent in early trading. The company gave investors a lot of what they wanted this earning season, robust sales and profit growth, along with a hint that the cloud division earnings machine is regaining momentum. Matthew Bloxham is a tech analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. They are the leader in cloud, so there's a huge number of corporates who already use them for cloud, and those corporates are all scrambling to get into the genes of AI space, so they're kind of looking to train models and use them in applications. Bloomberg Intelligence, as Matt Bloxham says, cloud unit sales increase twelve percent. More than twenty three billion dollars. Shares of Intel also on the move, up nearly eight percent. The chip maker is predicting a return to sales growth in the fourth quarter. Intel says it's being fueled by an improving personal computer market and a more competitive product line. Turning to the economy, Amy Janet Yellen says the surgeon treasury yields is tied to the strength of the economy rather than the widening fiscal deficit. We spoke with the Treasury Secretary in Washington. We're seeing yields go up in most advanced countries. Part of the increase in yields, I think is simply a reflection of the strength of the economy the notion that interest rates will be higher for longer. Secretary Yellen says the trends that had produced low levels for yields before the pandemic are still there. For the full conversation, head to our Bloomberg Talks podcast feed find it wherever you get your podcasts. And right now we find the tenure treasury yield at four point eight six percent, the two years at five point zero four, and futures are surging. This morning, this is Bloomberg Time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news in New York and around the world. For that, I'm joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr. Good morning, Michael, Good morning, Nathan. Representative George Santos's scheduled to be a rain this morning on more charges filed earlier this month. According to prosecutor, Santos allegedly stole identities and made purchases on the credit cards of his donors. Meanwhile, there is a push from New York Republicans to expel Santos from Congress. Representative Anthony Desposito says Santos is not fit to serve as constituents. As a United States representative people have seen over the last ten months what a fraud he is. I mean, you know, you read either indictment, there's a clear outline that lays out the fabrications, the lies, the manipulation of donors and others that he has committed over the last year or longer. Audio courtesy of Forbes. D Esposito's resolution would need two thirds of the House to expel the Long Island Congressman. Meanwhile, Santos, who says he will not step down, responded on social media saying that he is entitled to due process and not a predetermined outcome as some are seeking. The NYPD is on high alerts in case the suspected main mass shooter tries to enter the tri state area. While there is no evidence that suspect Robert Card is coming to New York, it comes at a time when already counter terrorism officers are on the streets because of the crisis in the Middle East, and MYPD Commissioner Rebecca Winer, we don't see any neccess to New York City with this incident, tragic as it was, but we've been saying this a lot over the last couple of weeks, and we always do we urge all New Yorkers to continue to go about your business, but to remain alert to your surroundings. Commissioner Winer join Mayor Eric Adams at a news conference to discuss safety in the city. Amid the active search for card There will be more than one hundred car free streets to keep trick or treaters safe in New York City this Halloween. The Trick or Streets Initiative is being expanded to give access to pedestrians for safe spaces across the five boroughs. The initiative that kicked off October fourteenth at fifteen locations, where we expanded starting tomorrow, Global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Michael Barr. This is Bloomberg Natha Tricker Streets. That's a great idea. Thank you, Michael. Now great news because we do bring you news throughout the day 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, Listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot com, plus Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, brought to you by tri State Outy. Good morning, John stash Hour, Good morning. Eighth in this world series with two unlikely teams begins tonight. Both Arizona and Texas lost over one hundred games just two years ago. Both snuck into the postseason as a wild card, but are nine and three allthough. The Rangers are one and three at home eight no on the road. Ain't arly. They start Nathan Evaldi, who's four and oh in the postseason. The Diamondbacks start Zach Gallon. The Bills are four and oh. In Buffalo, they never trailed, beat the Bucks twenty four to eighteen. Josh Allen threw for two touchdowns ran for another. The Jets and Giants first played each other in nineteen seventy Sunday's game only the fifteenth regular season meeting ever. Giants lead the series eight to six. Jets have won the last two. Last Giants win was twenty eleven. They won the Super Bowl that year. Here's Jets coach Rob Sala. I'm excited about You said it's once every four years. Maybe there's a crossover now at the seventeenth game. But you know, I think it's really cool for the fans. I think it's great for sports talk radio and all the different newspaper outlets and all that. But you know, it's a championship opportunity. You know, a lo

 they're also going after them inside. Does it make a difference, It must make a difference, But you know, they're spread around. There are a lot of them, and it's very hard to the impression one gets at the moment is that it's sort of middle management that they've been able to get, not the top guys. So I don't know how big a difference it's making. Appreciate you coming back on with us, Ethan, and keeping us up to speed on all the developments that have been happening in the Israel Humas War now with these US strikes into Syria as well. Ethan Browner are Israel bureau chief for Bloomberg News, joining us this morning from Tel Aviv. And now we want to turn to a conversation with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. She joined Bloomberg Washington Bureau chief Peggy Collins for a wide ranging conversation after we saw a third quarter GDP in the US grow at its fastest pace in nearly two years. Secretary Yellen talked about that blowout economic figure as well as rising bond yields and geopolitical risks. Let's go to part of that discussion. Now, it's a good strong number and it shows an economy that's doing very well. Let's remember it is just one quarter's number, and I'm not expecting a growth at that pace to continue. But we do have good, solid growth. You know, probably the year will come in close to two and a half. I wouldn't be surprised if we see that we have solid job creation, a low unemployment rate, increased engagement in the labor force, inflation's coming down, and you don't really see any sign of recession here. I have to say, I've been saying for a long time that I believed there was a path to bring inflation down in the context of a strong labor market. Frankly, it's only it's about a year ago since I believe a Bloomberg model predicted that by October of twenty twenty three. Now, namely that you saw at the odds of recession at one hundred percent. I don't think we have that. You know, what we have looks like is soft landing with very good outcomes for the US economy. So I think there's a lot to be pleased to beat. And you see good strong consumer spending. Consumers still have substantial wealth. I think it's supporting good strong spending and the economy is doing well, and I think US growth is making a contribution to stronger global outcomes as well. So I want to ask you a little bit about the rise in yields that we've seen. We've seen yield surging over the last few weeks. The ten year treasury rose above five percent earlier this week. What's your view on what is driving that surgeon yields and how much of it is connected to investors' concerns about the US deficit. Well, I don't think much of it is connected to that. This is a global phenomenon in advanced countries where seeing yields go up in most advanced countries of the world largely, I think it's a reflection of the resilience that people are seeing in the US economy, that we're not having a recession, that consumer spending and demand continue to be strong, The economy is continuing continuing to show tremendous robustness, and that suggests that interest rates are likely to stay higher for longer. And so part of the increase in yields I think is simply a reflection of the strength of the economy, the notion that interest rates will be higher for longer. Now, whether or not that's really true if we look at five or ten years, what are interest rates likely to do? Honestly, for a very long time, we've felt that interest rates over decades had been coming down real interest rates, and there were deep structural reasons for that, in part relating to demographics and those underlying trends. They're still there, they're still in force. So I think it's perfectly possible that we will see longer term yields come down, but nobody really knows for sure. But I see the higher yields as certainly importantly a reflection for stronger economy. I know you took a trip to China in big to Beijing this summer. You've been talking about how our policy should really be around de risking or diversifying rather than decoupling. But what do you think is the current status of that. Do you think the Chinese have adopted that and feel like they can trust us on that front, or do you think they still really think that we're in a competition with them first and foremost. So, I mean we've articulated a strategy. As you said, it involves de risking in some areas where we're overly dependent on China, and clean energy is a good example. We also intend to focus on national security. That's an area that we're not willing to compromise on, and so we have We do have export controls. We continue to review them with We're working on a set of restrictions on outbound investment to China. We've discussed this with them and put out a proposal that's in the public domain. I think comments just closed on it. But our objective there is to target what we do as narrowly as possible so that it really focuses on national security, that it is not an intention in that to harm the prospects of Chinese economic development and the welfare of the Chinese people. With the Israel Hamas war happening in the Middle East, I think there's a concern by some that the war could spread or expand to broader in the region. I know that that's not your base case, but if that was to happen, could you walk us through your wrist scenario for what that might mean to the global economy. My focus is, I look now at what's happening to the Middle East. Really is the tragedy, the human tragedy that's taking place with the Israelis have suffered, and of course we're worried about casualties in Gaza as Israel pursues its war against Tamas. So far, I would say we've not yet seen much that has global consequences. What could happen if the war expands. Of course, there could be more meaningful consequences, but I think it's premature to speculate against about those, and I think our focus should be keeping this contained and not spreading. And that was the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, speaking with Bloomberg's Peggy Collins from our Washington newsroom. You could hear that entire conversation on the Bloomberg Talks podcast. Download the show in all of our high profile discussions wherever you get your podcasts. Finally, amy more proof that the Taylor Swift era is alive and well. Taylor Swift's eras tours generated as much money as the economies of small countries. The movie version is ruling the box office. New recording of a nine year old album, nineteen eighty nine, just dropped at midnight tonight and is expected to be one of the hottest selling records of the year. Now Taylor Swift's net worth has catapulted her past the billion dollar mark. The calculation by Bloomberg News takes into account the following, the estimated value of Taylor Swift's music catalog and her five homes, as well as earnings from streaming deals, music sales, concert tickets, and merchandise. 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 by 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 six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, serious XM Channel one nineteen, the iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day Right here on Bloomberg day BreakSee

When it rains, it pours: Donald Trump is now subject to not one but two gag orders, and the new one is more expansive than the first. Judge Tanya Chutkan's order isn't as broad as the government requested — Trump is still free to criticize Judge Chutkan herself, as well as the US government and the Justice Department, though not the individual prosecuting attorneys — but it's broad enough to be constitutionally questionable. Trump will appeal the gag order — and Ken is pleased that this case will present an opportunity to develop law in this area, since it's currently unclear what the Constitution demands when balancing defendants' speech rights and the courts' needs. Of course, there's also the open question of what Judge Chutkan will actually do if and when Trump violates her order.Also on this episode: two superseding indictments for members of Congress — Senator Bob Menendez and Representative George Santos. We take a look at Sam Bankman-Fried's ongoing trial and at how being in federal custody might affect your access to Adderall. We talk about DA Fani Willis's apparent intention to call Alex Jones to testify in the upcoming “cheese and crackers” RICO trial of Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell.And we have an update on the case of Prof. Francesca Gino, who sued Harvard (and several of her fellow behavioral scientists) after Harvard suspended her without pay following concerns those scientists raised about data fraud in her papers.A transcript of this episode is available at serioustrouble.show.

This week, Representative George Santos, the New York Republican,  was indicted on thirteen counts of alleged financial crimes, including wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. The congressman then took a page out of former President Donald Trump's playbook by calling the prosecution a “witch hunt.” Trump himself was found liable this week for defamation and sexual abuse, in a Manhattan civil trial brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll; Trump was ordered to pay her five million dollars in damages. Amid those developments, the relationship between the billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow and the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas continues to spark ethics concerns, following revelations about financial and real-estate transactions involving the two men. Despite the scandals, Santos, Thomas, and Trump maintain their respective positions of power as lawmaker, Justice, and Republican front-runner in the 2024 Presidential race. The New Yorker staff writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos look at changes in American political culture that allow leaders to survive scandals that would have ended earlier careers, and whether shamelessness is the dominant driving our politics.

Representative George Santos faces federal charges, a Republican delays promotions in protest of the military's abortion policy, and a new bill aims to ensure voting systems can withstand potential cyberattacks.

Today's show opens with an overview of yesterday's CNN Town Hall with former President Donald Trump and hosted by Kaitlan Collins. That even helped to illustrate all that is wrong with the Legacy/mainstream media and how Leftists are furious at CNN for making Trump look good to his audience. I break down one segment, which is illustrative of the entirety of the Town Hall. Kaitlan became a hostile combatant, inserting herself in the evening as though she wasn't the host, but a candidate on the other side of the aisle. What was even worse, for CNN, she tried to real-time fact-check Trump multiple times and was wrong so many times it was embarrassing. She knows the MSM talking points, but she didn't know the truth, and that was the real problem. This flows into more commentary against the Legacy/mainstream media. They continue to have no issue with not covering massive stories simply because they hurt their party narrative. It's like they are one big collective now, acting on the pre-approved stories coming out the NY Times. No journalistic skepticism. No journalistic ethics. No curiosity. Just blind adherence to state approved narratives. Our FBI is no better. With each passing day it becomes impossible to ignore the depths of corruption and illegality they exude. They are refusing to turn over documentation of Joe Biden being bribed by a foreign national under the guise of national security, yet they are okay keeping a corrupt and compromised Commander-in-Chief in office and THAT'S not jeopardizing national security? On top of that, it appears the FBI worked to turn a member of Representative George Santos's staff into a confidential informant. Think about that for a moment. The law-enforcement wing of the Executive Branch worked to embed a spy into the Santos office to get dirt on him. Do you think this is the first and only instance of that? How many other members of the Legislative Branch are surrounded by FBI informants who are spying on them? You cannot be any more anti-American and anti-Constitution than to employ and support those tactics. Rep. Byron Donaldson did a tremendous job on CNN following the Trump Town Hall. He was in the den of vipers and was able to not only hold his own, but also make several significant points in a meaningful way. It's hard to do, yet he is always so dynamic in doing it. I really do wish the Judiciary Committee would have had him deliver the presser yesterday by himself. Finally, we end with a brand new installment of Deep Thoughts with VP Kamala Harris. This time, she tries to discuss the idea of context while interjecting a thought about youth coming from coconut trees. It's a stunning bit of speaking and only the truly gifted with be able to fully appreciate it. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.
