The Dow gained more than twenty 29 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.640 nine hundred points yesterday following President Trump's announcement that a 30 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.680 ninety pause was being put on tariffs for everyone except China. 31 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.840 The President announced tariffs against China would increase to one 32 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.759 hundred and twenty five percent. A US Russian national from 33 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.159 Los Angeles has been freed in a prisoner swap between 34 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.639 the US and Russia.

Mayor Bass toured the construction site yesterday. She 41 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.199 said for those who want to rebuild, she's looking at 42 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.159 what permit fees can be waived. Sixty eight hundred homes, businesses, 43 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.719 and other buildings burned down in the Palisades fire in January. 44 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.560 Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho joins us a little earlier than normal 45 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.360 this morning. She's going to be with us at five 46 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.039 point twenty.

Let's get 54 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.280 started with some of the stories coming out of the 55 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.280 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As construction to rebuild the 56 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.280 Palisades gets underway, La Mayor Bass says she's looking at 57 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.840 ways to ease traffic congestion around the burn area in 58 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.759 the Palisades. Speaking to KTLA outside of home where construction 59 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.960 has begun, Bass says she's got some ideas, so we're 60 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.199 looking at a lot of options. 61 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.400 Maybe we do the debris removal at night, maybe we 62 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.000 have some of the trucks go at night. 63 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.400 So we're examining all of that right now. Bass was 64 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.039 in the Palisades to visit with a homeowner who has 65 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.800 received a permit to rebuild. She says she's also looking 66 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.199 at which permit fees can be waived as rebuilding efforts 67 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:04.719 pick up. LA. School district officials say federal officials, we 68 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.120 weren't allowed to go into two elementary schools this week. 69 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.879 The district says the Homeland Security Department officials were denied 70 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.520 entry to the Lillian Street and Russell Elementary Schools. Both 71 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.639 schools are in South LA. The feds are jumping into 72 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.199 the homeless problem in the Southland. 73 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.120 US Attorney Bill A. Saley and US District Judge David 74 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.560 Carter visited LA's skid row. As Salely tells kfi's Tim 75 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.120 Comway Junior, his office has begun an investigation into how 76 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.000 money for homeless programs has been spent in the area. 77 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.040 All we know right now is that there's at least 78 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.000 two billion dollars that's unaccounted for voting to an audit 79 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.720 that was just conducted last month, and that's not a rounding, era. 80 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.439 Judge Carter ordered an audit of the LA Homeless Services 81 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.439 Authority and the City of LA's homeless spending. Saley says 82 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.360 it found the more than two billion dollars had been 83 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.920 poorly accounted for with limited evidence of results. Michael Krozer 84 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:52.759 KFI News. 85 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:57.000 Today is Delores Horta Day in LA. The La County 86 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.439 Board of Supervisors voted to honor the legendary lab and 87 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:05.199 civil rights activist's ninety fifth birthday. She was born April tenth, 88 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.759 nineteen thirty in New Mexico and moved to Stockton as 89 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.279 a child. She co founded the United farm Workers' Union 90 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.360 with Caesar Chavez. Let's say good morning now to ABC's 91 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.639 Karen Travers. So, Karen, if there's one predictable thing about 92 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.800 President Trumpet said, He's unpredictable. 93 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.839 Yes, And you know, this is a complete reversal from 94 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.920 what he had said on Monday, where he told my 95 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.759 colleague Mary Bruce that he was not looking at a 96 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.560 pause on tariffs to allow for negotiations. And that's exactly 97 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.439 what he did yesterday. His team said yesterday that this 98 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.040 was the strategy all along, that this was the president's 99 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.160 negotiating strategy. But the President then undercut that message by 100 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.680 saying that he was looking at the markets, that he 101 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.800 saw people getting a little yippie, a little afraid, and 102 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.199 that the markets were looking a little glum over the 103 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.279 last few days, and that that was driving his decision 104 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:57.920 to put this pause in place. 105 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:05.240 Okay, And what exactly happened? And why does he say 106 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.120 that he did it. I mean, you said that it 107 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:08.439 was because they were yippie. 108 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.399 That's what he said. I mean his reason yesterday was 109 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.360 because of the markets, That's what he said. His advisor 110 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.879 said it was because countries were reaching out to negotiate. 111 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.160 But we asked him on Monday, why not put a 112 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.519 pause in place before they go into effect? Because countries 113 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.000 had already started reaching out to negotiate at that point. 114 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.120 Why not not move forward with it and just do negotiations. 115 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.040 Why announce it last week when you know you could 116 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.839 have had negotiations already. But the President said, you know, no, 117 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.600 we're full steam ahead. He wasn't looking at a pause. 118 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:44.480 The tariffs went into effect. They were in effect for 119 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.720 thirteen hours before the President announced this reversal, and the 120 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.360 reasons he cited yesterday all related to the stock market. Okay, 121 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.240 and the bond market, I should say, okay. 122 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.480 And then the big exception to pausing all the tariffs 123 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.759 is China. 124 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.160 Yes, China now has one hundred and twenty five percent 125 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.759 tariff all goods coming into the US from China. China 126 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.600 has retaliated significant teriffs on US goods. They've also said 127 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.240 this morning that they're going to limit the number of 128 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.120 Hollywood films that will be shown in China as a 129 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.319 way to strike back at you know, American cultural exports 130 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.040 as well. And this is showing no signs of flowing 131 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.839 down that Chinese have not engaged at all with the 132 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.800 White House. Despite the White House please to reach out, 133 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.759 let's talk, let's have negotiations, they're not doing that. They 134 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.600 have said they're going to fight this to the end, 135 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.800 and that the United States trade policy right now amounts 136 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.120 to economic bullying. So it's not clear where this goes, 137 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.360 Like what's the end in sight here when it comes 138 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.279 to China. One thing though, is that like this could 139 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.839 grind trade between the two countries to a halt. 140 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.040 Okay, and there's a lot of it. I mean that's 141 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.160 a huge amount of. 142 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.800 Trade, Okay, significant amount of trade. And also you know 143 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.879 you think, well, you as a consumer. People out there 144 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.160 by a lot of products, and then you think of 145 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.160 the materials that go into things for small businesses, a 146 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.480 lot of that comes from China, and that's the significant 147 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.720 concern for companies that are, you know, getting parts and things. 148 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.399 People that have already placed orders at this point, they've 149 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.800 already paid for things and now they're on their way here. 150 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.759 They've bought their stuff whatever that is. Well, should say widgets. 151 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.279 You know, you bought one hundred dollars of widgets and 152 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.039 now that widget when it gets offloaded at the ports 153 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.320 in California, is going to have an additional one hundred 154 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.440 and twenty five dollars charge to it. You didn't factor 155 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.200 that in when you made your business plan. 156 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:41.320 What are you going to do? 157 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.000 Right? And what happens if you don't accept the shipment? 158 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.759 I mean, I just could imagine at the ports it 159 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.159 could be kind of a nightmare. 160 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.159 Okay, Yeah, I mean it's going to be. And that's 161 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.120 all coming in the next couple of weeks. 162 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.080 Okay, and we will be watching it because, as we 163 00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:01.559 were just talking about the everything changes so quickly these days, 164 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.559 kind of hard to keep track of it. But thank 165 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.720 you for helping us make sense of it. Karen Travers, 166 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.320 have a great day, all right, you too. Let's get 167 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.120 back to some of the stories coming out of the 168 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.120 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. House Speaker Mike Johnson has 169 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.279 delayed a vote on President Trump's budget bill. The bill, 170 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.960 which passed the Senate, includes tax cuts, more immigration enforcement, 171 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.120 more defense spending, and a higher debt limit. The House 172 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.360 was set to vote last night, but some Republicans opposed it, 173 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:31.399 mainly because the Senate's version only includes four billion dollars 174 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.399 in spending cuts. The House wants up to two trillion 175 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.039 in cuts. The vote's been pushed back to today at 176 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.159 the earliest. The Department of Homeland Security says the Trump 177 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:44.039 administration will keep deporting alleged gang members to El Salvador. 178 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.120 ABC's Matt Rivers says they're being held in a notorious prison. 179 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.639 There's a reason why it's become known as infamous. 180 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.840 It is an incredibly harsh place, is brutal. Frankly, it 181 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.840 is depressing, and it is designed to be that way. 182 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.159 He says. It was built as part of the El 183 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.159 Salvador government's push to clean up crime in that country. 184 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.840 Forty five thousand pounds of cocaine worth a half billion 185 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.639 dollars has been seized by the Coast Guard in Florida. 186 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.559 Attorney General Pam Bondi says the Coastguard used drones, aircraft 187 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.480 and ships to ter intercept the traffickers leading to the 188 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.320 bus yesterday. 189 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:24.200 What they did saved countless American lives. 190 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:25.879 Countless lives. 191 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.639 This cocaine would have been distributed throughout our country and 192 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.080 perhaps throughout our world. 193 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.759 Bondi says the drugs originated from Mexican cartels. Eleven people 194 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.919 have been arrested in connection with the bust. The Supreme 195 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.720 Court has reversed a lower court ruling that ordered the 196 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:47.480 Trump administration to reinstate two heads of watchdog agencies. The 197 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.279 High Court says it will hear arguments from the lawyers 198 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.679 for the head of the National Labor Relations Board and 199 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.000 the Merit Systems Protection Board on why they should be 200 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.399 allowed to keep their positions. The search for survivors of 201 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:03.080 the nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican Republic is over, 202 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.720 and victim recovery efforts are now underway. ABC's Victor Akendo 203 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.639 says the death toll is at at least two hundred 204 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.399 and eighteen. 205 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:14.240 Just an incredibly difficult scene. Here outside of the jets 206 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:14.919 at nightclub. 207 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.799 You can see where the roof collapse. 208 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:18.600 There's all that heavy machinery. 209 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.759 He says. At least one American has died ahead of 210 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.279 the trial in the Idaho college killings. The defense is 211 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.840 pushing for the death penalty to be taken off the 212 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:36.240 table because of Brian Cooberger's autism spectrum disorder. At a 213 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.360 pre trial hearing yesterday, Judge Stephen Hipler said he didn't 214 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:41.559 think that's relevant. 215 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.720 Stay should not make the general argument that somehow the 216 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.840 diagnosis is an aggravating factor. 217 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:55.039 The trial is set to start later this summer. Flying 218 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.200 could soon become less stressful. 219 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.320 American Airlines is teaming up with Customs and Border Protection 220 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.240 on a plan. They say we'll make international flights move 221 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.480 more quickly. Passengers would no longer pick up their bags 222 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.120 when they arrive and then recheck them for a domestic 223 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.279 connecting flight. Instead, the luggage would be transferred automatically. The 224 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.919 carrier says this will enhance safety. The pilot program will 225 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.440 be tested on flights from Sydney to Los Angeles, dep 226 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.159 remark KFFI. 227 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.720 News speaking of airlines Delta Airlines has pulled its financial 228 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.399 outlook for this year, saying it's because of concerns about 229 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:32.159 where global trade is headed. Virgin Atlantic is cutting back 230 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.080 its scheduled flights from London to New York and Seattle 231 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:38.000 this winter. The travel and tourism industry is a big 232 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.120 part of the US economy. It contributed more than two 233 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.000 trillion dollars in twenty twenty two. It also supports more 234 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.559 than nine million jobs. You'll soon be paying more to 235 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.720 wish people happy birthday, happy anniversary, or congratulations the old 236 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.840 fashioned way. The Postal Service is raising the price of 237 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:58.799 a first class stamp from seventy three oh I believe 238 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.360 seventy eight percent Tito there sorry. Postcard stamps will go 239 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.519 up from fifty six to sixty two cents. The USPS 240 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.559 says prices are still among the most affordable in the world. 241 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.440 Two La City council committees have advanced a plan to 242 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.080 hike trash collection fees by more than fifty percent. If 243 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.120 it's approved by the city council on Friday, it would 244 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.360 be the first increase in seventeen years. Cities looking for 245 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:24.080 ways to raise revenues as it faces a nearly billion 246 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.720 dollar budget shortfall.

The royal couple is in 254 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:53.320 Italy to celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary. It was the 255 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.320 first confirmed meeting for the Pope since he returned to 256 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.080 the Vatican after spending five weeks in the hospital with 257 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.360 life threatening double pneumonia at six zho five.

Bill's going 260 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.799 to be talking about the huge gains on Wall Street 261 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:17.679 following the president's announcement of a ninety day pause in tariffs. Okay, 262 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.840 so we had to switch stuff up a little bit 263 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:23.200 this morning because we get to talk to Colonel Nick Haig, 264 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.720 a NASA Astronaut Space Force guardian. We've talked to him 265 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.200 several times as he was getting ready for his trip 266 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.399 to the International Space Station. And then we were so 267 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:34.720 lucky we got to talk to him while he was 268 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.440 on the International Space Station. And now he's back on Earth, 269 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.360 so we're going to be talking to him in about 270 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:47.759 ten minutes. And so we moved Courtney Donaho, Bloomberg's Business Specialist, 271 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.840 Getting In Your Business, to five twenty. But maybe she 272 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.279 didn't get the message because we haven't heard from Courtney, 273 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.279 so we're going to try to reach out to her. 274 00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.399 And there's a lot to talk about with his stock market. Man, 275 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.759 was that crazy? When President Trump announced the pause and 276 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.519 tariffs at about ten o'clock yesterday Actually it was just 277 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.960 about ten fifteen yesterday morning, and immediately the stocks shot 278 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.840 up and ended the day up for Dow twenty nine 279 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:19.080 hundred points. Right now the Dow futures are down like 280 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.240 four hundred and eighty one points or down. Now it's 281 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.639 down five point fifty nine, so maybe things are looking 282 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.960 a little better. But now we have Courtney Donahoe, So 283 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.279 glad you could join us early. We're Getting in Your 284 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.879 Business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe. Thanks so much for joining 285 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.840 us early today. Courtney. I guess the only thing we 286 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:40.519 can say is buckle up. We were just talking while 287 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.919 we were waiting to connect with you about the crazy 288 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.120 day it was on Wall Street. 289 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.840 Oh my goodness, it was unbelievable. All the tariff twists 290 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:51.080 and turns continue with the President announcing that ninety day 291 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.799 tariff pause. The New York Stock Exchange actually exploded in 292 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.759 huge roar as the news hit, but Wall Street was 293 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.759 practically begging for some relief, and yesterday traders got it, 294 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.480 with the S and P five hundred, ending the day 295 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.320 up nine and a half percent. Now this morning, it's 296 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.519 not looking so good. It's looking pretty rough out there, 297 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.279 looking at Dow futures down five hundred eighty eight points, 298 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.399 SMP futures falling one point nine percent. But kind of 299 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.600 buried in all of this news in just a few 300 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.480 minutes from now. And why I kind of have to 301 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.679 jump here is the March consumer price report is going 302 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:24.879 to be on an economisty. Inflation likely stepped down last month, 303 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.159 but the information it contains is somewhat stale compared to 304 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.879 some of the big economic policy changes that came in 305 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:31.679 the past week. 306 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.919 Okay, and you have to jump, yes, I do.
