    What a Government Shutdown Means

    Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.White House Budget Director Russell Vought is planning to swiftly dismiss federal workers, a sign that Republicans will lean into hardball tactics to pressure Democrats to cave to end a government shutdown.Vought told House lawmakers Wednesday that some federal agencies will move to terminate workers within one to two days, according to people familiar with the remarks, who requested anonymity to discuss a private meeting.White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that layoffs would happen within “two days, imminent, very soon” but declined to give any details about what agencies or positions would be targeted.President Donald Trump and his team have moved quickly to capitalize on the shutdown to shrink the size of the federal government.The administration earlier Wednesday halted $18 billion in federal funding for infrastructure projects in New York City, including for the Second Avenue Subway project and Hudson Tunnel Project.Today's show features: Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Policy Analyst Nathan Dean on the US Government Shutting Down Her Excellency Noor bint Ali Alkhulaif, CEO of Bahrain Economic Development Board and Kingdom of Bahrain’s Minister of Sustainable Development Angie Franks, CEO of Kalderos, and Bloomberg News Health Reporter Damian Garde on the Trump administration securing drug pricing deals with pharmaceutical companies Drive to the Close with Alexis Browne Roberts, COO & Portfolio Manager at Alexis Investment Partners   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Trump Threatens ‘A Lot’ of Firings in Looming US Shutdown

    Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.President Donald Trump threatened mass firings of federal workers as the US hurtles toward a shutdown with Democrats and Republicans at an impasse over funding the government.“We may do a lot and that’s only because of the Democrats,” Trump said in response to a question about the number of government employees who could be dismissed during a shutdown. The White House last week directed agencies to draw up plans for widespread firings if the government closed down. So far, no agencies have explicitly called for terminations in their shutdown plans. With just hours to go until a midnight deadline, the deadlock over spending threatens to paralyze many US government operations for the first time in nearly seven years, causing the suspension of services for Americans and paychecks for federal workers. As many as 750,000 federal workers could be temporarily furloughed, even if Trump doesn’t proceed with permanent dismissals, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated.Today's show features: Bloomberg Businessweek Senior Reporter Max Chafkin and Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Policy Analyst Nathan Dean on Wednesday's government shutdown deadline and Russell Vought’s influence on the negotiations Kevin Gordon, Senior Investment Strategist for Charles Schwab, on market concentration concerns Dr. Jenny Rooke, Founder and Managing Director of Genoa Ventures, on the funding environment for biotech Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck, on the market for ETFs and mutual funds, and the boom in gold   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Trump Says Netanyahu Agreed to 20-Point Plan to End Gaza War

    Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.|President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they had agreed to a 20-point plan designed to end the war in Gaza, though the prospects for peace remained unclear without the direct involvement of Hamas.Trump said the framework had the support of other leaders from the Middle East and Muslim majority nations during a press conference Monday alongside Netanyahu, suggesting it could lay the ground for a broader peace in the region.Still, the proposal — which mandates Hamas have no role in the future of Gaza — must be accepted by the militant group, which would need to agree to substantial concessions. Hamas, which sparked the war with an Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel said ahead of the Trump-Netanyahu meeting that it had not yet seen the plan and would need to study the proposal.Trump warned that “if Hamas rejects the deal” then Netanyahu would “have our full backing” to destroy the militant group.Today's show features: Bloomberg News Jerusalem Reporter Dan Williams on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with President Donald Trump Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation, on quarterly earnings and the outlook Joyce Huang, Senior Client Portfolio Manager for Fixed Income, American Century Investments, on the fixed income market Bloomberg News Managing Editor for the Deals Team Liana Baker on Electronic Arts agreeing to sell itself to Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund and private equity firms in a deal that values the company at about $55 billion See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    US Consumer Spending Powers On Even as Inflation Persists

    Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.US personal spending rose at a solid clip in August for a third month, suggesting consumers continued to power the economy despite elevated inflation.Consumer spending, adjusted for changes in prices, increased 0.4% last month, according to Bureau of Economic Analysis data out Friday.The consecutive strong gains in consumer spending add to evidence of a solid economy in the current quarter, building upon even greater growth in the prior period than previously thought. However, maintaining such momentum hinges in large part on the labor market, which has shown signs of faltering with slower hiring and more moderate wage gains.Americans are also still dealing with sticky inflation, which risks staying elevated as President Donald Trump’s tariffs trickle through the economy. The so-called core personal consumption expenditures price index, which excludes food and energy items and is favored by the Federal Reserve, rose 0.2% from July. From the prior year, the gauge held stubbornly at 2.9%.While many companies initially held off on raising prices as they worked through built-up inventories, profit margins are at risk unless firms pass along some of the higher costs.Today's show features: Elizabeth Renter, Senior Economist at NerdWallet, and Bloomberg TV and Radio International Economics & Policy Correspondent Mike McKee, on the August PCE report and the US labor market Bloomberg News Justice Department Reporter Chris Strohm on Former FBI Director James Comey being charged with lying to Congress and obstruction Bloomberg News Finance Reporter Max Abelson on revelations about the support network for Jeffrey Epstein Carol Schleif, Chief Market Strategist at BMO Private Wealth, on stock market valuations See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
