Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here.
Are the stories we're following today.
We begin with an offer to address the national debt. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is proposing a bill that would add one and a half trillion dollars to the debt ceiling, enough to avert a default until March of next year. The bill would also cut spending by about one hundred and thirty billion dollars, and McCarthy says that's not all.
Our bill would actually clawback billions and dollars of unspent COVID money that.
Has set for the last two years.
The American people are tired of politicians who use COVID as an excuse for more extreme inflationary spending.
But President Biden is already rejecting House Speaker McCarthy's plan.
Magar, Republic and Congress are threatened to default on the national debt, the debt that took two hundred and thirty years to accumulate overall. Overall, unless we do what they say, they say they're going to default unless I agree to all these wacko notions they have.
Presidents spoke at a union hall outside Washington. Now it's unclear if McCarthy's plan has enough support from fellow Republicans. A vote on the bill could come as soon as next week.
Meantime, Nathan spending on Ukraine remains in focus. The Biden administration has announced another package of weapons and ammunition support, valued at up to three hundred and twenty five million dollars. It will include AMMO for rockets and anti armor systems and more artillery rounds. The munitions will be taken from US dogpiles. It is the thirty sixth such drawdown.
Elsewarn Washington Amy, the Supreme Court has made another move on reproductive rights. The High Court is allowing access to a widely used abortion pill until at least tomorrow. Justices are still considering whether to allow longer restrictions on the drug Mifa pristone to take effect. Scott Carr has more from our Bloomberg ninety nine one newsroom in Washington.
The Court pushed back at original Wednesday deadline to decide whether to allow a Texas judge's order restricting the sale and use of Mifa pristone. While a legal challenge to the Medicaidation's FDA approval over twenty years ago continues. The Biden administration and the drugs maker Danko Labs in New York want the High Court to reject the ruling out of Texas, at least as long as the case makes
its way through the courts. The additional time could be part of an effort to craft an order that has broad support among the justices, and one or more of them might be writing a separate opinion. They're now expected to act by Friday night. In Washington, I'm Scott Carr, Bloomberg Daybreak.
All right, thank you, Scott. In Texas today, SpaceX hopes to launch its next generation starship rocket this morning. A problem with pressurization resulted in the previous launch being scrubbed. The test flight as seen as a key step towards sending humans to the Moon and Mars Corse. Elon Musk is a CEO of SpaceX.
Amy. His other company is in the spotlight as well, Tesla. Its shares are down seven and a half percent in early trading after profit missed and operating margins came in just above eleven percent in the first quarter, down from nineteen percent last year. Musk is signaling Tesla will continue cutting prices to stoke demand.
We really don't think about competitors that much. We're the only ones making cars that technically we could sell for zero profit for now and then yield actually tremendous economics in the future through autonomy.
Elon Musk says the best scenario could see Tesla produce as many as two million vehicles this.
Year, and the parade of earnings continues. This morning, we've heard from the big banks. Now the regional lenders report they're in the spotlight after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. More in this live report from Bloomberg's John Tucker and Amy.
The results will offer investors to insight into the extent of the damage from the March banking panic. Under the microscope will be banks deposits, and the question everybody wants to know is whether spooked customers dump their accounts and transfer their cash to the perceived safety of the big banks. The results yesterday from Western Lines Bank Or offered some hope. That company said deponsits rose two billion dollars. Those shares surged.

Thank you John. New York FED President John Williams says the recent banking termol may make it harder for households and businesses to get credit. Williams calls the banking system sound and resilient, but he says recent developments will likely lead to tighter credit conditions and that will affect spending and In.

HSBC says the restructuring proposal would mean low dividends. It's in effect a shop rebuke of Pingan and its vision of unlocking value. The British Bank HSBC fully rejected the suggestion of a partial listing of its Hong Kong business, saying the plan's smack of financial engineering and that Pingan misunderstands Hi Species business.

Good morning, Nathan. Police say an attempt at traffic stop turn into a chase through Midtown Manhattan. According to the NYPD, the driver hit one police officer in the head, evading three police stops, speeding down sidewalks, ramming into a fire hydrant, and slammed into a restaurant street shack. This woman says the driver just missed her by inches while she was crossing the street with a walker.
I was scared to death. The car kept speeding down the street.
I was crossing from this side to that side.
The car I had the.
Light with his piece of wheel hit me down here and the bumper came flying off.
The car eventually came to a stop. The driver managed to crawl out from behind an inflated airbag and escaped. Investigators are trying to determine the cause of this week's parking garage collapse in Lower Manhattan. One worker was killed and seven others were heard. Officials say, according to initial findings, the age of building and the number of vehicles parked
on the roof deck contributed to the collapse. The eighty four year old white man who shot Ralph Yarrel, a black teenager in Kansas City, pleaded not guilty in his first court appearance Wednesday. Yarl mistakenly went to Andrew Lester's door looking for his younger brothers. Lester walked with a cane in court as he entered charges a first degree assault and armed criminal action in the shooting. Yar family attorney Lee Merritt talked about Lester.
I want him to make this as easy on the family as possible, to be forthcoming about what he did, and he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison. That's an outcome that we're hoping for. All of his assets are going to become upsas sets me.
While the father of Kaylin Gillis is speaking out to thirty six. Gillis was a passenger in a car with three friends Saturday night, all looking for another friend's house in a rural area of Hebron, New York, when they mistakenly pulled into sixty five year old Kevin Monahan's driveway. Police say the friends never got out of the car, but Monahan opened fire from his porch, striking the twenty year old Kaylen's father, Andrew Gillis.

She loved animals and this man took that away from us.

Lost a series.
The Mets won the series in LA. They beat the Dodgers five to three, despite Max Scherzer's ejection after the third inning thrown out first sticky stuff, an accusation.
Shuzer denied, you sweating rosin your hands sticky. But I don't get how I get ejected when I'm in front of MLB officials doing exactly exactly what you want and being deemed my hands too sticky when I'm using legal substance.
I do not understand that bullpen did the job.

The debate over the debt ceiling in Washington now includes a bill to debate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's proposing to raise the nation's borrowing limit for about a year while cutting government spending two last year's levels. The bill would also add new work requirements to government benefits like Medicaid and food stamps.
Right now, there are more job openings than people looking for work. Our plan ensures adults without dependence earn a paycheck and learn new skills.
And that was Speaker McCarthy unveiling the three hundred and twenty page bill yesterday. And for more we're joined now by Julie Norman, co director of the Center for US Politics at University College London. Juliet's always great to speak with you, and we've heard Democrats, including President Biden Warren in the past that Republicans would aim at benefit cuts as part of a debt sealing increase debate. Is this bill just dead on arrival?
Well, Nathan, it will be interesting to see what happens with the bill itself, because it'll be hard for McCarthy even to get all of his own caucus to vote unanimously on this to get it through the House. Even if it gets through the House, Democrats have been clear it's not going to get through the Senate, and Biden
has said obviously he's going to be to it. So in terms of legislation, it's sort of dead in the water, as you said, But what McCarthy is hoping is that this will push Biden to negotiate on the debt ceiling, at least have something down on paper to start working with and to get the two talking to see what they can do before June or before a default.
Now, are you seeing any signs that this could spur President Biden to negotiate because his position at this point has been he wants to clean debt ceiling increase and any negotiations on spending need to be left of the budget process.
Well, that's exactly right for Biden and for the administration. It's an idea of principle as well, this idea that we don't barter over raising the debt ceiling. This should just be something that is a clean deal by Congress that doesn't require all these negotiations and back dealings over and over again. And then there's also the details of
this as well. You know, Biden is not looking to join on with McCarthy and Republicans in cutting federal agencies and increasing work requirements or going along with any other the measures here. So there's the details, but also just the larger principle at play.
Yeah, we should talk a little bit more about these details as well, because, as you mentioned, there is that difficulty for Speaker McCarthy just to keep his own caucus rallied around this bill. He's only got a four seat majority in the House. What's the potential that a certain number of Republicans don't even support this offer.
Yeah, it's going to be really tricky, and we've seen that already in how long it's taken McCarthy even just to cobble together this package. And even as this is on the table, I understand that the House freed maccawk is still trying to add on different measures that they want to see on it, which may alienate some moderates.
So right now it's a somewhat loosely defined package of about one hundred and thirty billion dollars of cuts in federal spending, but again not clear on which agencies or programs that would affect, particularly new work requirements on welfare programs, blocking the student debt program, that cancelation program that Biden wants, which the court may block anyway, and then a nu most of their attack ons for permits for oil and gas.
So there's a lot in this. Again, I think it'll be hard even for Mcartha to get it over the line. But again it's very vague, and I think that's where he's maybe hoping he can get people to sign on because the details aren't all fleshed out.
Well, given that we don't have those of fully fleshed out details, do you see a bigger risk that moderate Republicans won't support this or some of the Freedom Caucus members.
It might be a little bit of both. I mean, as you know, is kind of famously talked about now the five families, so to speak. In the Caucus. There's a lot of different interests at play. It's not even just two sides that McCarthy is trying to balance between. And because every vote is pretty much needed, there's a lot of leverage for any one member or any small group of members to really push for things for their district.
So I think there's going to be a lot of deal making, so to speak, to try and get those votes for McCarthy in these coming days. But again, at the end of the day, the vote count doesn't really matter. It's not really about the idea this would become legislation. It's more is this a package that could start some kind of negotiations and I think that back and forth is going to continue a bit as the political brinkmanship builds up.
Got about thirty seconds left here. Julie wall Street's been pretty sanguine about the idea that the US would default on its step up to now. Is this something that wall Street needs to be concerned about?
Well, Nathan, it's a tough one because we hear this the same scenario happen time after time again, and it becomes a little bit like the Boy who Cried Wolf. It seems like it's always going to get fixed up the last minute, one way or the other. And as hopeful as we are about that, just the stakes are so big and so real that you do have to take it seriously and we do have to be prepared for any kind of turns this might take, especially when politics are so volatile.
