Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good Morning, I'm Nathan Hager, and I'm Karen Moscow. Here
are the stories we're following today.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Well, Karen. After he was suspended for comments over the
murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, late night host Jimmy
Kimmel took a conciliatory tone in his return to TV
last night. Bloomberg's John Tucker's Here with More. Good Morning, John.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Man, Good Morning. Nathan Kimmel choked up several times during
his return to late night TV.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
You understand that it was never my intention to make
light of the murder of a young man.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I don't well.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Kimmel's monologue last night was the first time he's spoken
publicly since ABC parent Walt Disney pulled the show off
the year September seventeenth.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I posted a message on Instagram when the Daves killed,
sending love to his family and asking him for compassion,
and I mentioned and I still do. Nor was it
my intention to blame any specific group for the actions
of what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Kim O personally negotiated his return with Disney CEO Bob
Iger Later in the show. Actor Robert de Niro was
showed up as a guest, playing the role of the
FCC chairman Brendan Carr, echoing the characterization of Carr's comments
last week about ABC and Kimmel, saying we can do
this the easy way or the hard way. Sinclair and
next to our media group, two of the largest local
(01:30):
ABC TV stations said they would continue to keep Kimmel's
show off the air, and that's until further notice.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
And John, I guess President Trump is continuing to react
to Jimmy Kimmel's return.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, this was a social media post and it was
just the minutes actually before Kimmel's show aired. Trump floated
the prospect of unspecified future legal challenges against ABC over
Kimmel's return, calling him an arm of the Democratic Party.
This is a direct quote. Last time it went after them,
they gave me sixteen million dollars, Trump wrote, And this
(02:03):
one sounds even more lucrative. In New York, I'm John
Tucker Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Right, John, thank you. Now, let's get to the latest
from the UN General Assembly. President Trump is signaling more
support for NATO after recent Russian incursions into its airspace.
The President was asked about it during a meeting with
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski. Mister President, do you think that
NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter
(02:29):
their airspace? Yes? I do. And the President also says
he thinks Ukraine is in a position to take back
all the territory it's lost to Russia with support from
the European Union. He says three and a half years
of war have devastated the Russian economy.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
The terrible war should have ended, and Russia should have
stopped it. But they've been three and a half years
and they've gotten that so far. So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And President Trump says it's too soon to talk about
security guarantees for Ukraine, but he has been pushing European
allies to round economic pressure on Russia. President Zelenski is
calling President Trump's position on the war a quote big
shift and Karen.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
President Trump's comments on Ukraine came after a speech before
the UN General Assembly where he criticized the world body
and many of its most cherished principles.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
What is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN
has such tremendous potential. I've always said it. It has
such tremendous, tremendous potential.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
President called climate change a con job. He said the
global body hasn't done enough to support his diplomatic efforts,
and he warned UN member states against uncontrolled migration.
Speaker 8 (03:35):
It's time to end the failed experiment of open borders.
Speaker 9 (03:38):
You have to end it now.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Let's see.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
I can tell you I'm really good at this stuff.
You countries are going to hell.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And President Trump complained about a faulty teleprompter and an
escalator that broke down before his speech. He said the
two things he got from the United Nations were a
bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. It was election night
in one part of Arizona and a Democrat has won
the vote in the state's seventh district. Audalitok Rialva is
(04:05):
the choice to succeed her father, late Democratic Representative Raoul Grialva.
The win further narrows the already razor thin Republican majority
in the House, and it also sets the stage for
a forced floor vote to release government files on Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well Nathan both the House and Senator on recess as
the clock takes toward a possible government shutdown on October first,
and Bloomberg's Amy Morris has the latest from Washington.
Speaker 10 (04:31):
House Democrats are set to meet on Capitol Hill September
twenty ninth. House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries sent a letter
to Democrats saying that they'll also have a virtual meeting
on the twenty sixth to find a path forward. Jeffrey
says they're ready.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
To meet with anyone, any time, at any place.
Speaker 10 (04:49):
He accused Trump of chickening out of the meeting they
were supposed to have with the president. This Thursday, Trump canceled,
saying that Democrats have to drop their demands for renewing
healthcare subsidies and ending dedicaide cuts before he'll agree to
negotiate with congressional leaders. Bloomberg Economics reports a government shutdown
is now more likely and may be harder to end
(05:09):
in Washington. Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
All right, Amy, thank you. We have more economic news
this morning. New comments from Fed chair J.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Powell.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
He says the outlooks for the labor market and inflation
both face risks. He's reiterating his view that policymakers have
a difficult road ahead as they weigh further interest rate cuts.
In remarks heard here on Bloomberg Radio, Powell spoke to
the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce in Rhode Island.
Speaker 11 (05:33):
Near term risks to inflation are tilted to the upside
and risks to employment are tilted to the downside, a
challenging situation. Two sided risks mean that there is no
risk free path.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
FED shared Jay Powell offered no hints as to whether
he might support a rate cut at the fed's next
meeting next month.
Speaker 2 (05:53):

see cogs growing sequenity, You see gross margins expanding and
revenues growing more than twenty percent sequentcity on and that's

restrained by officers. The jury took about two hours to
reach their decision. Ruth, who represented himself in court, faces
life in prison, with sentencing scheduled for December eighteenth. President

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Jimmy Kimmel Live was live
once again last night on most ABC stations, in his
first show since Disney pulled him off the air over
comments about Charlie Kirk. Kimmel said he never intended to
make light of the conservative activist Burger, and he made
a point about free speech.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
This show is not important. What is important is that
we get to live in a country that allows us
to have a.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Show like this.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That was Jimmy Kimmel in his first monologue since his suspension.
For more were joined by Bloomberg's Jill Desis and Joe
Really was an emotional return for Jimmy Kimmel to the
air really speaks to the stakes for him with the
future of his show not really of one hundred percent clear.
Speaker 14 (10:47):
Good morning, Yes, Good morning, Nathan. Yeah. I mean, this
is a story that honestly still seems far from over.
You did have this very apologetic, conciliatory tone out of
Jimmykiml last night, but then you also do have some
of these concerns about whether or not he actually will
have this show in the long run, right, I mean,
(11:07):
while he was on air, he was not on air
for a significant number of broadcasters, particularly those run by
Saint Clair and Nexstar. Remember these are broadcasters that really
were kind of behind some of that initial push to
pull him from their airwaves in the first one. They
operate dozens of ABC affiliates, including in very large markets
like Seattle and Washington, d C. And you know, look,
(11:30):
Jimmy Kimmel made a point during his show of talking
about some of those free speech concerns. It also bring
up the fact that, as we were discussing earlier on
this program, Trump put out that statement talking about you know,
the idea of going after ABC said quote, last time
I went after them, they gave me sixteen million dollars,
you know, I believe he's referring to a defamation suit
that said Disney paid to settle in the case involving
(11:53):
one of their anchors, George Stephanopoulos, and kind of shows that,
you know, I mean, Trump is certainly willing to, you know,
go after certain types of speech, are other things that
he sort of seemed unacceptable in the courts, and so
you kind of wonder where exactly something like this goes
if the SEC continues to be involved. But yeah, I mean, certainly,
I don't think that the story is quite over yet.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Interesting to see that focus from the president following what
was a pretty multi layered visit to the UN General
Assembly yesterday, particularly what the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski is
calling a pretty big shift when it comes to the
president's position on the war.
Speaker 14 (12:30):
Well, it is a very big shift. I mean, I
think really notably, what you heard from the President of
the United States, who is in the past, just over
the past couple of months, said that, you know, perhaps
Ukraine should make some territorial concessions in Russia's war on
the country. Now he kind of took a completely different
tone here. I mean, he's talking about how potentially, you know,
(12:53):
with the support of the European Union, Ukraine is positioned
not only to fight back, but also to reclaim all
of the territory taken by Russi since it's invasion in
twenty twenty two. I think what this really does speak
too is the fact that, you know, ending Russia's war
in Ukraine was something that Trump had made a campaign promise,
something that he said that he wanted to get done
day one in office. He's obviously been very frustrated with
(13:14):
Vladimir Putin, increasingly frustrated with Russia over the past few months,
and now you've got him saying this. I do think
one thing that hasn't particularly changed about Trump's stance on
this war is that he is really pushing the EU
to take the front sort of seat here, maybe not
providing any sort of you know, boots on the ground
by the US, but really sort of pushing the EU
(13:34):
to get involved here. But I do think that those
particular notes, that territorial note involving Ukraine was a really
really interesting shift from the president here.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
And in just thirty seconds, Jill, what about European Union support?
Does it look like they're behind what the President is
saying when it comes to boosting their level of support.
Speaker 14 (13:52):
Well, I mean, I think that what we've seen over
the past several months is that you do see, you know,
them kind of come to the table a little bit more.
I mean, certainly Trump has kind of been banging this Trump.
I mean, you know how exactly this all ends up resulting,
I think obviously still remains me seen. I mean, it's
just a couple of weeks ago. You know, Trump was
(14:12):
hoping that something would end soon. I'm not sure that
we're quite there yet.
