Good morning.
I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Lisa Mateo. Here are the top stories we're following today.
Lisa, we begin in Los Angeles, where tensions between police and anti deportation demonstrators have stretched into a fourth night. The Trump administration is escalating its response. It is mobilizing seven hundred marines on top of the two thousand National Guard troops that were activated over the weekend. LA Mayor Karen Bass says the move doesn't make sense.
They're guarding the federal building here in downtown, and they're guarding the Federal building in Westwood. That's what they're doing, so they need marines on top of it. I don't understand that. That's why I feel like we are part of an experiment that we did not ask to.
Be a part of.
Now, the State of California is suing to try to stop the deployments. Here's State Attorney General Rob Bonta.
The authority that the President say only allows for the deployment of the National Guard by the president when there's an invasion by a foreign nation, which there's not. When there's a rebellion to overturn the leadership of the United States of America.
Which there is not, and President Trump says activating the guard was a great idea and he's back to comments from White House borders Are Tom Holman, the California Governor Gavin Newsom and other local leaders could be arrested if they interfere with the response.
You can process if you want, you have that person, I read right. But when you cross the line of putting your hands on myself, sir, competing our enforcement operations annoyingly harber cutsiel idealing we're ailing, that's a crime.
Borders Are.
Tom Holman was asked on CNN if Governor Newsom has done anything to warrant arrest yet he said, quote, absolutely not.
And back in Washington, Nathan, debate continues over President Trump's big tax and spending cut bill. House Speaker Mike Johnson says he's trying to get Senate Republicans to do as little as possible to change the forty one thousand dollars cap on state and local tax deductions. House Republicans from high tax states have threatened to block the bill if the Senate waters down the write off, but no Senate
Republican is from a high tax state. Meanwhile, President Trump is touting one small piece of the One Big, Beautiful Bill savings accounts for babies.
For every US citizen born after December thirty first, twenty twenty four. Before January first, twenty twenty nine, the federal government will make a one time contribution of one thousand dollars into a tax deferred account that will track the overall stock market. In other words, it'll be pegged to an index that we'll pick.
President Trump was joined at the White House by several corporate executives. Dell CEO Michael Dell promised a dollar for dollar match to the accounts for Dell employees, and Robin Hood Market said it will provide technology and capital resources for the initiative.
Lisa, let's turn down to the latest developments in trade negotiations between the US and China. There continuing for a second day in London. Both sides are looking to ease tensions over rare earth supplies and tech exports. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett and Commerce Secretary Howard Ludnik have been leading the US delegation. Ludnik says the talks have been fruitful. President Trump is echoing that we are.
Doing well with China. China's not easy.
I think we're doing very well. They're over there now.
I'm only getting good reports.
The first day of talks lasted more than six hours, the US signal that's willing to remove restrictions on some tech exports in exchange for assurances that China is easing limits on rare earth shipments, and the.
Trump administration making another sweeping move to reshape the federal government. The Department of Health and Human Services is dismissing all seventeen members of the committee that advises the government on vaccines. Bloomberg's Amy Morris reports from Washington.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior said in an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal that quote a clean sweep is needed to re establish public confidence in vaccine science, but public health officials call this a blatantly political move that will further undermine trust in vaccine safety. The group, known as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices reviews the latest data and makes recommendations that
determine whether insurers cover shots, among other things. In Washington, Amy Morris Bloomberg Radio Amy thanks President Trump's pict LEI. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission goes before Senate confirmation hearing today. Cryptolobbyist and former CFTC commissioner Brian Quinten's plans to tell the Senate Agriculture Committee he is uniquely qualified to head the derivatives Regulator as Congress considers giving it more authority
over digital assets. In prepared remarks, Quintens will say he is well versed not just in policy issues that affect farmers and ranchers who use futures to hedge price risks, but in emerging technologies like blockchain and crypto.
We turn to the markets now, Nathan, Futures while they're little change. As we head into Tuesday session, stocks in the UK hit a record and in the US, Mark Zuckerberg is making a major push into artificial intelligence at meta platforms. Bloomberg's John Tucker joins us with the very latest John sounds like a sci fi movie plot.
Yeah, it has everything, but an underground layer. Here Zuckerberg recruiting for a secretive new team. He's got a pretty audacious goal in mindly so he's trying to achieve Artificial General Intelligence AGI. This is the idea that machines can perform as well as humans. If Meta does achieve this milestone, he could weave it into a range of AI tools. He's personally going to hire a team of about fifty people.
This is called the Super Intelligence Group. Has already rearranged the desk at the company's Menlo Park headquarters, so the new staff is going to sit near him. Zuckerberg is building this secret team in tandem with a planned multi billion dollar investment in Scale AI. This is going to be Meta's largest external investment to date. Zuckerberg is racing against competitors like OpenAI and Google to become a market leader for AI. To share is this morning pre market?
Little change in the New York I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
All right, John, thank you.
Apple shares also a little change in the pre market after the iPhone maker failed to ease concerns about its position in AI. The shares fell more than one percent yesterday. After the iPhone maker kicked off it's annual Worldwide Developers conference in California. Apple did reveal a sweeping new software redesigned called liquid Glass. It's an interface that is said to unify the user experience across all devices, from iPhones to MacBooks. Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow covered WWDC in Cooper Tina.
A lot of liquid glasses inspiration comes from the work that app We're done with Vision Pro, you know, literally the UI and UX of that experience using vision Pro, the translucency of it. And so by making it uniform, you know, having the same look across iPhone, mac iPad os and Vision Pro and watch, you know, it just makes you more familiar and I guess open to using the full hardware suite of products.
Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow says. Also, as part of rebranding efforts, Apple confirmed it will use years rather than version numbers to identify its newest operating systems.
And Nathan a departure at Goldman Sachs, Aaron Arthur is retiring after nearly three decades at the Wall Street Powerhouse. Arthur is a partner in Goldman's Financial and Strategic Investors Group.

Time now for a look at some of the other stories making news in New York and around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr.
Good morning, Michael, Good morning, Lisa.
New York authorities are sending a message to anyone thinking about violent protests in the city. In a speech, New York City Mayor Eric Adams called for protesters to remain peaceful and warrened. Authorities will not accept violence and lawlessness.
The escalation of protests in Los Angeles over the last couple of days is unacceptable.
It will not be tolerant if attempted in our city.
There were a series of smaller protests held in New York yesterday at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan. About twenty to twenty five protesters were arrested after they entered the lobby. The protests come as violent demonstrations broke out in Los Angeles in response to immigration raids across the area. Today is New Jersey's primary day. Six Democrats and five Republicans are running to succeed term limited Democratic governor Phil Murphy.
Democrats in the race include US Representatives Josh Gotdheimer and
Mikey Sheryl. Also running, Newark Mayor ros Barackup. New Jersey City Mayor Steve Phillip, New Jersey Education Association President Sean Spiller, and former State Senate President Steve Sweeney in the Republican primary, former State Assemblyman Jack Cinderelli, State Senator John Bramnick, former Inglewood Chief Cliffs Mayor Mario Kranjak, radio hosts Bill Spadia, and general contractor Justin BARBERA tropical storm Barbara strengthened into
a hurricane off Mexico's coast, the first of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season. Bloomberg Media Religius Craig Allen as the latest.
The tropical season is still fairly active off the Mexico coastline in the Pacific, and we do have Barbara, who was the first hurricane of the season. Barbara had seventy five mile per hour wins for about twelve hours or so, but now has weakened and will continue to weaken about two hundred miles off the central Mexico coastline. There will, however, be rough surf and dangerous rip currents along the vacation resorts all up and down the west coast of Mexico.

Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. The stakes have been raised even higher. After four days of protests and Los Angeles, President Trump is deploying seven hundred marines to join the two thousand National Guard members he activated over the weekend. California suing over that move. But the President says Governor Gavin Newsom should be thanking him.
He should only be.
Happy I sent in the military, because if I didn't send him in, you would add a problem. They're the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.
That was President Trump at the White House yesterday. This morning, we're joined by Bloomberg New Senior editor Derek Wallbank and Derek, this latest show of military force in LA seems to raise things to a whole new level.
Good morning, Good morning, Nathan. Yes, it certainly does. It is a move that does not have any recent precedent to it, and it is one that the states, state and local leaders have said is actually inflaming tensions, which is contrary exactly what the President said. We did see overnight additional clashes there. We also saw protests spreading to a number of other cities, many of them peaceful, some of them were protesters clashed in with police, including in Austin,
Texas by the state capitol. But look, there are there are no signs right now that the demonstrations over immigration customs enforcement detentions are going away anytime soon.
This is a live issue.
This is an issue that the Trump administration wants to have as a central issue. If you're sort of thinking about the stories that have been that have been written recently, including on the Musk feud, or you know, sort of what's in the One Big Beautiful Bill and difficulties in passing that, or some other things, the Musk team would or the Trump team would very much rather have the
conversation about immigration. They would much rather have the conversation being had over photos of burning taxis on the streets of Los Angeles, with with be masked protesters wearing, you know, waving Mexican flags. There is a certain like iconography there that the Trump administration in this fight is candidly quite happy to have.
Interesting when you have the president seeming to endorse this idea that his borders are Tom Homan put out that if there's interference with the response that the governor could be arrested, where does this go from here?
Derek, Well, you know one thing I should say before the start of the answer to that is that Holman did walk that back a little bit in a late interview. But I will say, look, you know, it raises the stakes and one of the things that I'm particularly interested in here, Nathan, is that there is a certain you know, cometh the hour cometh the man's situation for Gavin Newsom,
who has emerged as Trump's main foil. Look, we've sat here talking to you and I for five months about how Democrats have been struggling for a message and a messenger to sort of talk about Donald Trump in a contrasting sort of way, and up into circumstance steps Gavin Newsom. You know, he's I think widely thought to be interested in a twenty twenty eight run for president himself. So he may or may not be happy to have the
contrast moment. But Newsom has become one of the most prominent Democrats in the country now trying to offer a contrasting period with Trump as Democrats are trying to find their own message. So that is I think going to be something that is under scoring, under girding all of this going forward. You really can't lose sight of the
political aspect to it as well. At the same time, look on the policy, as they said, the Trump administration wants this fight the immigration, the deportations that is central as a plank to the Republican platform under Trump, and this is something that he says he was elected to do, and he wants to go do it.
