On today's podcast:
1) Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return to the air on Tuesday, ending a suspension Walt Disney Co. imposed following controversial remarks the ABC late-night host made about the assassination of Republican activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel will address the controversy when he returns to the stage, according to people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified.
2) President Trump's call for pregnant women to avoid Tylenol is drawing sharp criticism from researchers who say the advice ignores decades of evidence and could endanger mothers and babies. Researchers say the White House's message misrepresents the science around acetaminophen, with a physician-scientist calling it "astonishing misinformation."
3) President Trump is preparing to address the UN General Assembly gathering in New York today for the first time in his second term. Earlier this month, the White House announced it would use this year’s General Assembly gathering to push other countries to adopt more restrictions on asylum. Another topic Trump is sure to broach will be Israel’s war in Gaza, as several nations are planning to recognize a Palestinian state on the first day of the conference, and he is sure to defend his close ally.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here
are the stories we're following today.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Karen, we begin with entertainment and the announcement from the
Walt Disney Company that ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live will be
back on air tonight. The show was suspended last week
after comments from the late night host about the assassination
of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Two station owners, Next Star
and Sinclair, said they would preempt Kimmel indefinitely. Sinclair says

(00:35):
it plans to keep airing news programming instead of Kimmel's
show while it continues talks with ABC. Bloomberg's Chris Paul
Mary says questions remain about Kimmel's future.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
There have been discussions at the highest level, we understand
from Disney CEO Bob Iger and Dana Walden, the head
of TV, directly with Jimmy Kimmel himself, over what the
future would hold. Right now, we don't know how any
details in terms of what he's going to say say
on Tuesday, but part of that has you know, there
have been calls from some of the station owners for

(01:06):
him to apologize to Charlie Kurk's family even make a donation.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Bloomberg's Chris Paul Mary says. Disney contends it had thoughtful
conversations with Kimmel. Sources say the host will address the
controversy when he takes the stage tonight. Jimmy Kimmel's contract
with Disney expires next May.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well Nathan we turned to Washington now that Trump administration
is advising pregnant women to avoid taking thailand All, citing
fears over autism, and Bloomberg's Amy Morris has more from
the nation's capital.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
The FDA recommends pregnant women talk to their doctors about
any risks of taking thailand All during their pregnancy. President
Trump a.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
Ceda minifin, which is basically commonly known as tayland All
during pregnancy can be associated with a very increased risk
of autism.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior promised earlier this year
to determine the cause of autism by September. That baffled
brain experts, who say there is no single cause and
that the rhetoric appears to ignore decades of science into
the genetic and environmental factors that can play a role
in Washington. Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
All right, Amy, thank you. President Trump is now in
New York for the United Nations General Assembly. He'll deliver
the first address of his second term to the annual
gathering of world leaders this morning. He has a raft
of meetings with world leaders, including UN Secretary General Antonio Guterrez.
The White House announced earlier this month that it would
use this year's General Assembly to push other countries to
adopt more restrictions on asylum. The President is also expected

(02:38):
to touch on Israel's war in Gaza. Several nations have
recognized a Palestinian state at this conference and Nathan.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
As global leaders flow into New York this week, some
countries could look to upgrade their airline fleets. Transactions involving
Boeing are by now a common feature of President Trump's
visits with foreign leaders. Several countries, including Turkey and Morocco
in Indonesia, are considering or have announced orders for Boeing aircrafts.
Through August, the planemaker had secured at seven hundred and

(03:06):
twenty five aircraft sales versus six hundred for Airbus, putting
Boeing on track to outperform as European rival for the
first full year since twenty twenty one, and looking at
Boeing shares this morning up about one point nine percent.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Also watching a couple of AI giants, Karen and Nvidia
plans to invest one hundred billion dollars in open Ai,
a deal that underlines booming demand for artificial intelligence tools
like chat, GPT.

Speaker 7 (03:33):
In Vidia CEO.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Jensen Wong discussed the partnership on CNBC.

Speaker 8 (03:37):
There's never been an engineering project, a technical project of
this complexity in this scale ever, and it really just
says that AI was in the early adopter phase in
the labs and finally it's breaking out into just about
every single industry, every single use case we can imagine.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Man, alongside Jensen Wog, Open Ai CEO Sam Altman, said
it's critical to their goals.

Speaker 9 (03:58):
Now that we really see what's on the near term
horizon of how good the models are getting, the new
use cases that are being enabled, what people want to do.
This is like the fuel that we need to drive improvement,
to drive better models, to drive revenue everything.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Sam Altman and Jensen Wong spoke on CNBC to mark
the deal. It is the latest and largest in a
string of investments by Nvidia. This tie up will fund
new data centers and infrastructure equipped with in Vidia's advanced chips.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Let's check the economy now, Nathan, and we heard from
Fed Governor Stephen Myron yesterday. In his first policy speech
since joining the Central Bank, Myron says interest rate should
be much lower to avoid economic damage. His view on
rates aligns with President Trump, but he told Bloomberg Saleha Mosen,
He's not directly influenced by the President.

Speaker 10 (04:45):
He's never asked me to set policy in a specific way.
So Amyery never asked me. It's never happened. I knew
my job as trying to provoke an interesting discussion that
will help that will help the FMC arrive at and
arrive at clear understandings of what the economy works and
where Monterey Polis should be set.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
And speaking at the Economic Club of New York, Fed
Governor Stephen Myron also argued that the neutral raid has
been pushed lower by tariffs, immigration restrictions, and tax policy.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
And back in Washington, Karen Bloomberg News has learned Congressional
Democrats planned to meet with President Trump this week to
discuss ways to keep the government operating. As an October
first shut down deadline draws closer, sources tell us the
meeting will happen on Thursday. A White House spokesperson has
declined to comment. President Trump has said he thinks a
shutdown is likely, but is willing to meet Democrats.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
We lover ses Nathan. Hong Kong issued its third highest
storm warning as super typhoon Regasa tracks toward the area.
The typhoon's packing sustain wins of one hundred and thirty
seven miles per hour, according to the local weather agency.
That's equivalent to a Category four hurricane. Ragasa has caused
major flight disruptions and suspension of school classes and business

(05:57):
activities across southern China after skirting northern Philippines.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Finally, Karen Argentina has received a commitment from Treasury Secretary
Scott Bess, and he's pledging to provide all options for
stabilization to President Javier Malay to keep the country from
falling back into crisis. Leaders are rushing to contain a
massive selloff in Argentina's financial markets ahead of midterm elections
next month. Options for stabilization include currency swap lines, direct

(06:24):
currency repurchases and US dollar denominated debt from the Treasury's
Exchange Stabilization Fund. The announcement from Treasury Secretary Bess And
calmed investors and prompted a rebound in Argentina's assets after
the central bank in the country burned through more than
a billion dollars in foreign reserves.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
It is time now for a look at some of
the other stories making news in New York and around
the world, and for that were joined by Bloomberg's Michael
Barr Michael, good Morning.

Speaker 11 (06:52):
Good morning Karen. The White House stands behind Borders are
Tom Homan following reports that he had accepted fifty thousand
dollars from undercover agents posing as business people during an
undercover FBI operation last year. It led to a briber
investigation that was said to be shut down by the
Trump administration Justice Department. At the White House press briefing,

(07:16):
Press Secretary Caroline Lovitt denied the allegations.

Speaker 12 (07:19):
The White House and the President stand by Tom Holman
one hundred percent because he did absolutely nothing wrong and
he is a brave public servant who has done a
phenomenal job in helping the President shut down.

Speaker 11 (07:30):
The border spokesperson love It characterized Homan's encounter with the
undercover agents as an effort by the Biden administration to
entrap one of the president's stop allies and supporters. The
Supreme Court says it will review a ninety year old
ruling that restricts a president from firing members of the
Federal Trade Commission. The case could have major ramifications for

(07:53):
presidential power over what have traditionally been considered independent agencies.
For now, the Supreme Court's as the President can move
forward with the firing of Rebecca Slutter, a Democratic member
of the FTC first appointed in twenty eighteen. The Court's
three liberal justices opposed it. Arguments on that are expected

(08:13):
in December. Out today, US News and World Report's Best
Colleges list. Lamont Jones is managing editor for Education.

Speaker 7 (08:22):
Number one is Princeton and the twenty twenty six edition.
Number two is MIT, followed by Harvard, F three, and
then a tie at four between Stanford and Yale.

Speaker 11 (08:33):
Lamont Jones says, while US News will be watching for
how the Trump administration's funding cuts affect the list next year,
the data for this year's list predates those announcements. Global
News twenty four hours a day and whenever you want
it with Bloomberg News Now Michael Barr and this is
Bloomberg Karon.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Thanks Michael. Time now for our Bloomberg Sports update, and
for that we bring in John Stashauer.

Speaker 13 (08:57):
Thanks Jarn. Good money out of the dabwek Lyons and
Ravens in Baltimore tight at seven and fourteen, then twenty one,
and then Detroit pulled away and won thirty eight to thirty.
David Montgomery one hundred and fifty one rushing yards. He
had two touchdowns, so the Jamir Gibbs Lamar Jackson threw
three touchdown passes in defeat, but he got sacked seven times,
so the Lions won. Now, let's see what the Tigers do.

(09:20):
They had a twelve game lead on the Guardians in
late August. The Guardians with a ten game winning straight.
They're not only one game out. They host the Tigers tonight.
That's a Bloomberg Sports update.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Stay with us. More from Bloomberg Day Break coming up
after this.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM,
and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the
Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
I want to give more now and some of the
top stories we're covering this morning, including Walt Disney's announcement
that Jimmy Kimmel Live will be live once again tonight.
Joining us now is Bloomberg's Jill Desa and Jill. Of course,
we saw some of the backlash surrounding Disney's decision to
pull the show after there was some pressure from the FCC.

(10:09):
What's Disney saying about what's got it to this place?

Speaker 14 (10:13):
Good morning, Yes, Good morning, Nathan. So what Disney said
in the aftermath of all of this is, you know,
now obviously Jimmy Kimmel is preparing to return to air,
is that they made this decision to suspend production on
the show quote to avoid further inflaming a tense situation
at an emotional moment for our country. That's the quote

(10:34):
from Disney that they put out on Monday. This, of course,
relates to some comments that Jimmy Kimmel made on a
show recently that were about the killing of the conservative
activist Charlie Kirk. That's really kind of become a really
severe political flashpoint within the United States. Pulling that show
after several of these large broadcasters pulled that show. What

(10:58):
we understand now is that Jimmy Kimmel actually talk personally
with Disney CEO Bob Iger about his return. He will
be returning to the air tonight, but it doesn't necessarily
mean that every single broadcaster is automatically following suit Sinclaire. Actually,
I think, as we've been discussing, that's the largest owner
of ABCTV stations has said that it will continue to

(11:18):
preance Kimball's show. So again, this continues to be a
developing story. But we'll see how Jimmy Kimmel actually plans
on addressing this when he returns to the air tonight.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, that'll certainly be a big development once we hear
that latest monologue, following what we heard the last of
what we heard from Jimmy Kimmel last week. Of course,
some of the other big news this morning is the
announcement from the Trump administration linking tail and all to
autism and pretty strong terms from President Trump, even stronger

(11:48):
terms maybe than his own government.

Speaker 14 (11:51):
Yes, I think this was really really significant development obviously
out of the Trump administration, where you did have Donald
Trump saying himself that Tyler on all is quote not good.
So he was giving this recommendation. He's saying about limiting
or recommending that women limit the use of thailanol. This
has obviously caused quite a bit of controversy, particularly within

(12:12):
the medical community. There have been attempts to think that
we've been discussing for years now to potentially link autism
to thailanol, a set of medicine that's the ingredient in
thailanal or other you know sort of causes. There's not
really any sort of clear cause for the development of autism.
And while we've seen, you know, there's one study that potentially,

(12:35):
you know, sort of created a correlation there, there's really
no clear causation there. So this has actually been met
with some pretty strong condemnation from the medical community. I think,
you know, one of the really key things to keep
in mind when you're looking at this particular announcement from
the Trump administration is that a lot of scientists are
warning that if fevers are untreated, so if women aren't

(12:56):
taking something like a tailanol or something else that can
can sort of alleviate that particular symptom, that could actually
expose women in their babies to greater risks. So I think,
you know, it's really important to really kind of clarify
that this is something that's been met with a lot
of condinations from scientists.
