Snow Hits Northeast; New York Special Election; US Inflation Data

Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.720 Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:15.680 are the stories we're following today. 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.200 First, let's look at snow hitting the Northeast today. A 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.040 winter store morning is in effect from New York to Boston. 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.960 New York City Mayor Eric Adams made the call yesterday 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:26.480 to close city schools. 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.280 We expect at least of five to eight inches. 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:31.920 Now we could get more. 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.200 And in Boston, Mayor Michelle Woo's taking similar precautions. 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.239 We will likely get between eight and twelve inches of 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.080 snow total. 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.280 That it will come down pretty heavily during the morning commute. 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.640 So the snow is here, but when will it end 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:49.400 and how much what we actually get. Bloomberg Meteorologist Rob 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.280 Carolyn joins us with those details. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.840 Rob, Nathan, the snow has commenced in the Tri state 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.760 area and it will be developing this morning in the 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:57.840 Boston area. Right now, it looks like the New York 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.720 City area is going to see the maximum amount of 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.920 snow from this storm, about six to nine inches for 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.720 the city and the immediate suburbs north of the city. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.280 Well west of the city, it's a four to eight 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.840 inch snowfall. It should taper off by about three four 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.880 o'clock this afternoon. In fact, sky so clearer in the 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.240 Boston area, looks like a three to six inch snowfall 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.120 is likely, most of it falling between nine o'clock this 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.560 morning and three the same afternoon. Should be done in 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.880 the Boston area about five o'clock this afternoon. Looks like 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.360 the areas to the north of Boston will seem much less. 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.920 In fact, towards the New Hampshire line, just outside of 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.560 Root four ninety five, snowfall and mounts are probably going 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:31.640 to be less than an inch. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.200 I'm Rob, Carolyn Bloomberg Radio. 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.840 All right, thank you Rob. The snow could also impact 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.000 voting on Long Island. Today, residents of New York's third 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.520 District head to the polls to pick a replacement for 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:47.400 disgraced former Representative George Santos. The contest pits Democrat Tom 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.200 Swazi against Republican Mazi Melissa Pillop, and the race is 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.160 seen as a referendum on President Biden's policies. Don Levy 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.880 has been conducting polling in the district. He's director of 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.120 the Siena College Research Institute. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.480 In this poll, even though these are special election voters, 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.240 these are people are going to turn out on a 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.040 Tuesday in February. We're thinking that turnout will be no 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.600 more than twenty five percent. Know that this is a 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.520 district that in a presidential year this year, we're probably 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.720 going to be looking at sixty two to sixty five percent. Still, 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.079 we ask these voters, in addition to who are you 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.919 going to vote for on Tuesday to thirteenth, if your 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.440 vote for president was right now, would you vote for 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.519 Joe Biden or Donald Trump? And this district moves nine 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.760 points in Trump's erection. So instead of a four point 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.960 Democratic advantage when we pitt Biden against Trump, Trump is 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:42.240 five points up in this district amongst these highly motivated. 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:42.720 Special election voters. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.680 So again, if indeed it turns out that Swazi wins 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.640 by this four and to whatever extent there are any 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.600 exit polls at all, and these very same voters would 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.840 prefer Trump, that's going to weigh heavily on the national 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.320 discussion moving forward. 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.280 Don Lovey with Cena College says today results could weigh 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.359 heavily on the outlook for November's election. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.160 I meantime, amy Donald Trump is weighing in on leadership 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.680 at the Republican National Committee. The former president endorsing his 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.560 daughter in law, Laura Trump, to help lead the RNC 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.320 as co chair. He's also pushing RNC General Counsel Michael 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.800 Wattley to be the next chair. Sources tell us the 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.920 current RNC leader Roni McDaniel is in discussions to step down. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.320 On Capitol Hill today, House Republicans will make a second 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:31.079 attempt to move impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Miyorcas. 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.480 They're planning for a vote this evening after last week's 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.560 attempt fell just one vote short. Republican Majority leader Steve 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.080 Scalise missed that session, but he is expected to attend today. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.480 Amy, let's turn to the Middle East now, where fighting 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.280 in Gaza remains front and center. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.119 who is preparing for a ground battle in Rafa, where 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.720 the United Nations says roughly one point four million Palestinians 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.680 are sheltering. Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons has more on the US response. 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.920 US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says, before Israel 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.320 goes any further, it needs a plan to protect civilians. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.680 We don't believe that it's advisable to go in in 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:13.160 a major way in Rafa without a proper, executable, effective 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.880 and credible plan for the safety of the more than 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.200 a million Palestinians that are taking refuge in Rafa. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.120 The Chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court says Israel 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.000 could face war crime charges if it does push ahead 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.880 with its ground invasion of Rafa. In Washington, Nancy lyons 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.080 Bloomberg Radio. 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.480 Thank you, Nancy. Let's turn our focus to Wall Street now, 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.800 where markets are laser focused on inflation. Today we get 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.279 the latest reading on US consumer prices at eight thirty am. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.480 Eastern traders hope the data will push the Federal Reserve 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.840 closer to cutting rates. That Governor Michelle Bowman says, it's 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.479 still too soon to make that call. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.200 I think it's too soon to have an expectation that 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.440 or to measure or project when and how much I 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.360 think we might be lowering the policy rate. I think 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.359 the progress that we're making on inflation is very positive. 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.400 That Governor Michelle Bowman says, Risks still remain when it 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.960 comes to inflation. Economists predict today's report will show a 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.280 two tenths of one percent gain in consumer prices in January. 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.840 That would amount to an annual inflation rate of two 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:17.800 point nine percent. 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.360 Speaking of Gaines, Amy, Sunday Super Bowl broke records CBS 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.719 as the game saw the most viewers ever. One hundred 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.800 and twenty three million people tuned in to watch the 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.800 Chiefs beat the Niners in ot That's a seven percent 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.400 increase from the previous viewership high set just last year. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.640 And betting on the Super Bowl set of record gamblers 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.559 in Nevada wagered a record one hundred and eighty five 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.800 million dollars on the game. That's twenty one percent more 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:45.560 than last year. 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.719 And another note from the world of sports, Tiger Woods 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.200 is launching a new brand. After ending his deal with Nike, 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.480 the golf legend has signed a deal with Taylor Made Golf. 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.520 Together they will create an apparel line called Sun Day Red. 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.839 It's set to debut in May. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.160 Time now for a look at some of the other 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.440 stories making news around the world, and for that we're 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.120 joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker. 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.240 Good Morning John, and Amy. 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.680 Donald Trump appealing to the US Supreme Court again, this 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.360 time to try to put the Washington, d C. Election 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.240 trial on hold. Let's get more this morning in this 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.280 report from Bloomberg's at Baxter. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.080 This is the criminal trial charging him with trying to 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.359 overturn the twenty twenty election. He wants the hold on 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.520 while he appeals another court ruling that rejected his bid 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:38.880 for immunity from any prosecution. Trump has repeatedly pushed to 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.640 delay deadlines and has argued a number of times that 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.560 any trial be held after the general election. He, if 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.240 he wins, could order the Justice Department to drop the 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.400 case at that time. How fast the court could rule 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.760 on this is an unanswered question at Baxter Bloomberg Radio. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.080 He sent it. He is poised to vote later this 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.240 morning on a ninety five billion dollar aid bill for Israel, Ukraine, 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.480 and Taiwan. A group of Senate Republicans held an all 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.680 night talking filibuster to voice their opposition. Wisconsin Senator Ron 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.840 Johnson doesn't believe Ukraine can defeat Russia. 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.760 As sympathetic as I am for the Ukrainian people, I 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.960 don't see how setting another sixty billion dollars helps their. 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.560 Play uniform on X spaces, Elon Boss told the Republican 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.840 senators there's no way in hell Russian President Vladimir Putin 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.240 could lose. Muss was joined by Senator Johnson jd Vance 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.920 of Ohio, Mike Lee of Utah, as well as Vivik Ramaswami, 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:41.320 the former Republican presidential candidate. A House committee investigating anti 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.200 Semitism on college campuses sent a letter to Columbia University 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.080 and its trustees requesting documents and the information regarding various 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:53.960 incidents it says shows the school's failure to protect Jewish students. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.840 And eBay is urging a Fadlal court to dismiss the 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.520 government's case, claiming the e commerce company sold multiple products 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.280 that violate environmental and consumer safety laws. The EPA sue 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:10.720 the Global online Marketplace, claiming the company unlawfully sold harmful chemicals, pasticides, 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.520 and high emission car parts.

Hey John Amy. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.640 The ratings are in and Super Bowl fifty eight was 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.400 the most watched TV program ever. They have made one 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.920 hundred and twenty three point four million tuned in to 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.280 what turned out to be the longest Super Bowl ever. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.560 The parade for the Chiefs we'll take place tomorrow in 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.800 Kansas City. Mike Zimmer will take over as the defensive 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.200 coordinator in Dallas. He was an assistant for the Cowboys 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.440 from nineteen ninety four to two thousand and six. Later, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.400 the head coach at Minnesota replaces Dan Quinn. He's now 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.040 the head coach in Washington. A domino effect in college football, 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.560 Jeff Hafley made a surprising move of leaving the job 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.319 as head coach at Boston College of being assistant in 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.079 Green Bay. His job at BC went to Bill O'Brien, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.640 who was with the Patriots last season, but had taken 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.240 a job to coach the offensive Ohio State so there 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.760 was an opening there and the Buckeys filled it with 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:46.000 Chip Kelly. He took an even more surprising route, leaving 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.080 a head coaching job at UCLA. That job is now 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.320 going to Deshaun Foster, a former Bruins running back and 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.880 had been an assistant with the Bruins. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:55.600 NBA. 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.400 The Warriors when they're fourth in row, they move over 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.640 five hundred to one twenty nine one oh seven win 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.160 a you joh seven Warriors and double figures. Wizards lost 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.400 in Dallas one twelve, one oh four. Luke Dontin twenty 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:09.120 six points fifteen assists for the Spurs. Rookie Victor Wembanyama 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.720 twenty seven points, fourteen rebounds, ten block shots plus five 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.800 assists the Spurs one by twenty three in Toronto, Philadelphia 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.080 put an end to Cleveland's nine game winning streak, the 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:21.200 six Ers one by two. 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.559 John Stashanwer Bloomberg Sports. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.319 From coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:33.280 Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Sirius Exam, the Bloomberg 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.319 Business appen Bloomberg dot com. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:40.400 This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. What 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.880 comes next after George Santos? That is the question that 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.520 voters in New York's wealthiest suburb are going to be 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.520 answering today in a special election that will affect the 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.200 balance of power in the House of Representatives and could 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.800 preview the issues that will affect elections in November. So 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.360 let's bring in Greg Valuere for some analysis on what's 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.079 happening today in New York's third congressional district. Greg is 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.720 the chief US policy strategist at AGF Investments. Greg, good morning. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.719 I'm sure the voters in the New York third want 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.080 to get past the embarrassment of their previous congressman. Will 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.560 today's election do that or could we be in for 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:15.760 more of a muddle? 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.640 Maybe more of a muddle, Nathan, good morning. I think 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.280 whether it could be a factor. I think that you 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.319 could see turnout pretty low. But the big story, I 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.360 would argue is here in Washington, with as you say, 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.920 the balance of power shiftings possibly a little bit. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:40.200 Okay, So let's talk about these candidates. We have Democrat 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.040 Tom Swase, who's got pretty good name recognition in New 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:47.400 York's third congressional district pitted against a Republican Masi Melissa Pillop. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.680 Where do you see this race shaking out? 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.000 Hard to say. Both candidates have spent quite a bit 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.320 of money. I think the Democrat would have to be 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:57.920 viewed as the slight favorite. 0:11:58.440 --> 0:11:58.880 Why is that? 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.480 I think, as you say, name recognition is pretty good 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:03.840 for him. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.960 Name recognition. And also we've seen a lot of really 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:12.640 interesting issues emerge from this race as well, a lot 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.280 of focus on an issue that has been huge in 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:22.040 the New York City area, immigration, that could potentially be 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.080 something of a hindrance for a Democratic candidate, couldn't it. 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.040 Yeah, it could. And the totals in Washington are so 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:36.520 narrow the new speaker, Mike Johnson, probably is only going 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.840 to have a majority of two or three seats, So 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.800 just one seat from Long Island could make a big difference. 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:47.680 Absolutely, And I would imagine the Democrats are on their 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:54.920 side trying to pin their previous Congressman, George Santos on 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:59.560 the candidate looking to succeed him, Republican Mazi Pillup. What 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.160 do you make of that possible effort by the Democrats 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:03.680 in this race? 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.760 It could succeed a lot again up in the air, 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.640 and I would say that the wildcard here is going 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:13.280 to be the weather. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:14.000 Yeah. 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.840 Absolutely, we do have some significant snow already starting to 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.360 blanket the New York City area. Let's talk a little 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.559 bit about how this could affect the balance of power. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.319 As you alluded to, it's a razor thin majority that 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.679 Speaker Mike Johnson has. I mean, no matter who gets in, 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:33.960 it's still going to stay razor thin. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.720 Right, Absolutely, And it looks like later this week Johnson 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.280 may be forced to hold a vote on aid to Ukraine. 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.560 I think that the opponents of that maybe have a 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.360 two seat majority. So there are so many issues like that, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:56.560 like immigration, that every single seat will make a difference. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.640 And on the issue of immigration, while this vote's happening 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:03.440 in the New York Third House, Republicans are going to 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:09.599 try again on impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcis. 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.480 Is this the right move for them on this immigration 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:16.200 issue to keep pushing against a Secretary Mayorcis when the 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.800 first effort didn't even succeed the last time around. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.280 Yeah, this is a total waste of time. It would 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.640 never succeed even if it made it in the House. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.760 The Senate would never approve teaching and convicting him. So 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.240 I think, again, a waste of time. There are so 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.160 many issues right now that need to be addressed. To 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.600 spend time on this, to me is frivolous. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.800 Not just the impeachment issue, but I mean, we're coming 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:49.000 up on yet another government shutdown or partial government shut 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.640 down deadline in just a couple of weeks. Is this 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:56.640 focus on Mayorcis and some of these other issues potentially 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.840 putting shut down back on the table. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.160 Make a very good point, Nathan. Once again we have 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.680 to go through this nonsense of a government shutdown. There 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.160 are two deadlines. One is the first or second of March. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.880 The second is in the second week of March. And 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.880 once again it's going to probably be a deadlock. And 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.640 once again there's going to be all this hype about 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.240 maybe a government shutdown. I would argue, in the final analysis, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.520 we kick the can down the road and we have 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.560 still another extension. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.920 This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.520 story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.560 Look for us on your podcast be by six am 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.880 Eastern each morning on Apple Spotify, and anywhere else you 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.080 get your podcasts. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.000 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.640 am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.600 in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.880 Bloomberg one six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.280 sixty in San Francisco. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:02.000 Our flagship New York State is also available on your 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:07.560 Amazon Alexa devices.
