New Zombie Drugs--Made From Chinese Fentynal--Threaten Our Nation
"Getting to the news today, the head of the DEA is elaborating. On the drug trafficking triangle, aimed at America. China is making the raw materials, the ingredients for fentanyl. It is sending these ingredients to Mexico, and that is where the jalisco and Sinaloa cartels to massive and violent Mexican drug cartel operations, that is who gets it in traffic into the United States right across our very open southern border to eventually kill thousands of Americans tens of thousands of Americans and you know what? They're making a ton of money doing this. You hear what I'm saying. This is a massive business. China is sending this massive amount of fentanyl into our country and we are allowing it. We have not prepared to fight back. It's something that even the director of intelligence, Avril Haines, now admits, listen to her here when she's asked about whether or not we're really going to be able to get control of this fentanyl crisis. For myself in terms of the ode and I, our office of director of national intelligence, we have a national intelligence manager that covers this issue and a national intelligence officer. And one of the things I've learned in the two years that I've been there is that we do not have as deep a bench of analysts on these issues and we are not as therefore resourced as we need to be in order to really address this question. That's something that we've been building and that's something that we need to continue to build. So our government was caught by surprise, she was caught by surprise. Nobody realized what was really going on. Listen, I'll tell you a history repeats itself in the Chinese. They don't forget.

Biden DNI Pick Avril Haines Raises Eyebrows
"Doing some research on this Avril Haines person. Who apparently is the one that had the back and forth with Tom cotton. And The Guardian, The Guardian, averill Haines is unusual backstory makes her an unlikely chief for U.S. intelligence. Oh, really? And so then somebody sends this to me. The former plane enthusiast lawyer at judo belt owned a cafe that staged erotica nights and worked for president Obama, what you're trying to say the erotica knights ended up working for Obama. I think this is grammatically a little bit too close. So I don't know what the hell it erotica night is. I Googled it. And it said you need to turn your safe search off in order to do that. I'm not doing that. I don't even know what it is. And so then apparently in the article it explains it that this woman who's now running DNI bought brothels, though she bought she opened a cafe in a formal brothel and then returned and then returned it to a brothel. She's running the head of the DNI. She says, quote, erotica has become more prevalent because people are trying to have sex without having sex. Others are trying to find new fantasies to make their monogamous relationships more satisfying with the erotic offers is spontaneity twists and turns and it affects everybody. This woman is a freak. She should not be in our government. So when I say the Biden administration has a team of freaks I mean it is really strange.

How Do We Solve the Fentanyl Crisis?
"What do you think about the fentanyl crisis in America and what can be done to solve it this really concerns me fentanyl is a real lethal drug. It is terrible. And our government is more concerned with violent extremists. Tom cotton, who's a good senator from Arkansas. He doesn't always vote the way I'd like him to, especially with that omnibus bill back in December. I didn't like that. But he's a good man. And he's a strong fighter and he's a true conservative. He had an opportunity to cross examine Avril Haines who is a member of the Biden regime, she serves as the senior director of national intelligence for the Biden administration, that's her job. So she's the director of national intelligence DNI. She's the first woman to serve in the role, and so she's the 7th director of the DNI. Okay. So Tom cotton had an opportunity to ask her some questions. And I love these questions. In Aristotle's ethics, the entire book of the ethics is built on this premise, which is that there is a hierarchy of the good. There's a hierarchy of some things matter more than others and in life a mature citizen and a mature society goes to the process of talking about what matters more and what matters less, not everything can matter. The same. Food, shelter, medicine matters more than entertainment. It's pretty obvious, right? Entertainment comes second to those things. But since we no longer live in a mature society and we live in a society run by narcissistic infants, we no longer even have those conversations.

"We'll get more on this when we get to our guest chain of sissel coming up in a few moments. That will be after we get to global news. Are you as president Joe Biden firing off his opening budget bid amounting to some $6.9 trillion and backed it with global news in the 9 60 news from the San Francisco Eduardo. Yeah, Brian, there's very targeted emphasis on China competition here, a major increase of investments in the indo Pacific, part of the Pacific deterrence initiative from 6.1 billion to 9.1 billion. That being said, Congress appropriated 11.5 billion for this year. So next year may be even more, it includes money for missile defense systems in Guam and Hawaii. The whole package sets up a heated battle in the U.S. over debt ceiling and government funding overall, Bloomberg Joe Matthew runs through some of the asks. A 25% tax on billionaires, a near doubling of the capital gains tax, a hike in the corporate tax rate back to 28% and a higher personal income tax rate of 39.6% for people making over $400,000 a year. The president says those making less will not see tax hikes. So the president in a campaign type stump address in Philadelphia says he's seeking fairness. Around 650 billionaires in America. Now there's over a thousand. You know what the average tax they pay federal tax 3%. And he says they should not pay less than a teacher or firefighter, also said he would protect the so called entitlement programs. Social security, my budget will not cut benefits and it will definitely won't some set programs like some of my nigga Republican friends want to do. A secure Medicare through 2015 beyond. Now the president says he's proposing some deficit reduction measures, but Bloomberg math says in 2024 would increase from 1.6 to 8 1.8 billion from one 6 to one 8, his request well has little chance of passing in this form, didn't even pass a democratic legislature. Heads of U.S. intelligence a day are saying they do not believe China wants a war over Taiwan. Today it is a House intelligence committee and director of national intelligence Avril Haines, along with CIA director William burns, says president Xi has taken notice of the allied response to Ukraine and says it would hurt his growth, but then turned and said, never underestimate China intentions when it comes to what it calls unification of Taiwan. US Treasury Department says 5 Chinese companies are directly implicated in supplying parts for Iranian drones that wind up in Russia killing Ukrainians. It is imposed sanctions on them and Kyiv dozens of missiles launched all over Ukraine today some 80 missiles and White House spokesman John Kirby says about 40% of Kyiv now is without power and says it could just be the beginning. We do think the next four to 6 months is going to see more vicious fighting on the ground in Ukraine. Yeah, the IAEA chief, meanwhile, is asking for a safe zombie established around the nuclear plants in the future and vote today NPC expected to easily back president Xi Jinping for his third term. Global news powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts no 120 countries in San Francisco. I met Baxter and this is Bloomberg. I'm Ryan Curtis, along with Paul Allen, and this is Bloomberg daybreak, Asia, our guest is Shana sissel, president of and capital. So Shana, a lot going on, the jobs report the fed's interest rate policy in light of this SVB story, the BOJ meeting, what has your attention the most this morning? I think the jobs report more than anything, it's kind of interesting the SVB story is coming at such an interesting time because we just had chairman Powell testifying in front of Congress talking about how he's going to continue to be aggressive that the economy remains resilient. And the job market remains tight and then all of a sudden you have this major news and all the banks sell off and all of a sudden there's genuine people genuinely concerned about running the bank and this is a large bank. This isn't a small bank. And then there's the job report tomorrow. And with all the panic around the banking system, if the job report is good, that's not good for markets. Yeah, it's a very interesting situation, isn't it? And how does this play into your opinion about the chances of a recession? And if there is one, are we going to look back on this moment as being somewhat pivotal? Well, I've always been of the belief that we are going to have a recession. I've been pretty consistent in believing that we're going to have a shallow recession. There wasn't and I still don't believe there's a lot of cracks in the financial system that would warrant it being a truly devastating type of recession like we saw after the financial crisis. But I do think that when you're starting to see contagion because if you think about this all kind of started with the crypto custodians and then the banks that dealt with crypto and then a lot of VC money is in crypto and blockchain. And so you're seeing things spread. And I think Silicon Valley bank is a very unique situation. They are the biggest player in the venture space. There's not really anybody else that has that kind of exposure. But anytime you see a very large bank of that caliber come under this kind of stress, it can lead to additional stress kind of becoming pervasive in the financial markets. And so I think now that's why I'm so concerned about the jobs report because if it is good and all indications are, it's going to be a strong job report. It kind of puts the fed in the corner. They kind of have to stay with the policy that they've been communicating. It may beg the story about whether investors are more concerned now about recession than they are runaway inflation. And I think that that's very true, I think. So for instance, if you get a weak number, if you get a weak jobs number, would that be good or bad for the equity complex? I think that would be good for the equity complex. Because I think that is one of the key indicators that the fed is

"China's ambitions, Russia's nukes and TikTok. Spy chiefs talk biggest U.S. security threats by Vera Bergen ruin. U.S. intelligence leaders on Wednesday outlined a dizzying range of national security threats facing America, while making clear that China ranked atop the list. The ruling Chinese Communist Party represents both the leading and most consequential threat to U.S. national security and leadership globally. Director of national intelligence Avril Haines told the Senate intelligence committee at its annual hearing on the top threats to the nation. Its intelligence specific ambitions and capabilities make it for us our most serious and consequential intelligence rival. Lawmakers questioned Haines and the other top U.S. intelligence officials, CIA director William burns, FBI director Christopher wray, defense intelligence agency director lieutenant general Scott barrier, and NSA director general Paul nakasone, about China's love affair with Russia. It's economic and military espionage, it's expanded control over global supply chains and its lack of transparency over the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hearing represents a rare annual opportunity for lawmakers to publicly grill the country's top intelligence chiefs. Senators spent time questioning the officials on everything from the threat of nuclear war with Russia to white supremacist violence to TikTok. The back and forth illustrated the striking shift in national security priorities as the U.S. moves away from two decades of focusing on Islamic terrorism and wars in the Middle East to an increasingly complex web of technological and cyber threats, along with homegrown, extremism. We can no longer just pay attention to who has the most tanks, airplanes, and missiles. Senator Mark Warner, the Virginia Democrat, who chairs the committee, told colleagues noting that the very nature of national security is undergoing a profound transformation. Here are the threats that lawmakers and top intelligence officials discussed. China seeks to challenge the global order at the expense of U.S. power and influence. As Chinese president Xi Jinping begins an unprecedented third term, he will continue to work toward his vision of making China the preeminent power in East Asia and a major power on the world stage. Haines told lawmakers, adding that the ruling Chinese Communist Party is increasingly convinced that it can only do so at the expense of U.S. power and influence. Tensions flared between the U.S. and China last month when the U.S. shot down what they said was a Chinese surveillance balloon that violated American airspace. After which Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceled his trip to the country. Chinese leaders have also recently sharpened their rhetoric towards Washington, with Xi Jinping alleging that U.S. led encirclement and suppression is to blame for the country's economic problems and Beijing's new foreign minister warning of inevitable confrontation and conflict.

"Fighting the fed to sort of believing and following the fed. So the fed is now in the driver's seat following the data. So I think he's put the kind of, as you say, he's tried to put the Genie back in the bottle, the way I would put it is he's trying to thread the needle. There's a lot of uncertainty here. This is not a conventional cycle, right? No, it's not a conventional cycle, because we also are in the midst of unwinding one of the greatest experiments in monetary policy of all time, which is QT. And the ECB involved in QT. So these are subplots that are going on in a rate plot. I look skim through your notes. The ECB feels more hawkish, the fed feels more hawkish. The least resilient is the UK. But you're not looking at 6, four and a half and 4% in rates. The people who you're talking to here in this region. How are they deploying for this higher for longer? Do they believe we will be higher for longer? What does it mean to the clients you've talked to around the region? I think that's exactly right. I think they are expecting higher for longer now. And I think they're also thinking about a structurally higher somewhat higher inflation rate environment. We're not probably not going back to the kind of very low inflation that we had before COVID. I think you need to also work into this kind of question of rates. And balance sheet, the fiscal aspects as well as the structural changes that are taking place. Which I think many people are quite concerned, rightly concerned. That these are going to be big inflationary pressures, not the kind of double digit level, right? But something above target pressures for inflation, playing out over the longer term. And I think that's a legitimate concern. I don't think we're talking about 5. I think we'll probably talk about it more like two to three, maybe a little over three. But that's a very different regime than we were in before. Exactly. And you know, I think about Elizabeth Warren questioning fed chair Powell back on Tuesday and saying, what's the impact if you're going to hike rates and get rid of 2 million people out of work if you can't actually address some of those key inflationary issues. Is that credibility question something that you think the fed's going to have a hard time meeting? Look, I think the fed is meeting the credibility challenge for the markets and for the public. I mean, of course, senator Warren is going to push the fed in one direction, XYZ, Republicans going to push the fed in the opposite direction. The fed is going to have to kind of navigate and steer the right course in the middle. And I think that's what's been changing over the course of late 22 and to 23. Like I said, the market is now following the fed. I think the fed is, I think that's a good thing. Yeah, I mean, the market maybe has maybe the fed has regressed the narrative. What do you make of all of this flow into credit? You've got investment grade credit flows are pumping. But what do you make of this warning from JPMorgan? That really, there's some serious risk in junk bonds. They're just not at the right level. They're far too compressed. Do you think we get a blowout and spreads? On such an inverted yield curve. All right, so I'll tell you a little secret, okay? I'm in the kind of softish landing cap. Not a soft landing. I don't want to be too cute about this, but look, I think the labor market is the key here as it generally is in the U.S.. And if the diagnosis is correct, that labor is being hoarded by corporates and by small businesses that they're not going to fire in a hurry because there's been a structural change in labor market where labor force participation is down, you know, got forever, but sort of structurally for some time, then we could have a mild recession. And what JPMorgan, I think, is saying, and others and I think it's a legitimate point, is that the risk of a hard landing has gone up because the economy is hotter than we expected. It's going to be hotter for longer, and therefore the fed's going to have to do more, maybe quicker than we expected. And that may cause something to crack in the labor market or the financial system or what have you. And that could cause this blowout. Great. The risk has gone up. I don't think that's the central case yet. The central case of softish. Soft dish. We've got all kinds of all kinds of cooking and blanche kind of references to where we are with this economy. What's going to happen on them? Thank you very much for stopping by. Good to see you in the region. That's on a dance, the global market strategist for invesco, emia, our gassed this morning on the markets. Let's get across to edge and Wong is in Hong Kong. For the first word news. Thanks, madam. President Biden is proposing a series of new tax increases on billionaires, rich investors and corporations in its upcoming budget request. Sources tell Bloomberg the proposal will call for a 25% minimum tax on billionaires Biden also wants to nearly double the capital gains tax rate and raise income levies on corporations. The plan has little chance of passing the Republican controlled Congress. U.S. intelligence chiefs have told a Senate committee that Russia is likely to downgrade its ambitions in Ukraine for now to hold territory seized after the start of the evasion. The assessment was part of a broader outline of threats the U.S. faces, director of national intelligence Avril Haines, also said China would deepen its economic and defense support for Russia despite international condemnation of the Ukraine war. U.S. intelligence agencies says there's still no consensus on the origins of COVID-19. Director of national intelligence Avril Haines told a Senate hearing two plausible explanations remain natural exposure to an infected animal or a laboratory laboratory leak.

Joining us here is Bloomberg national security reporter Nick wadhams, Nick, thanks so much. How far are they saying that this goes technology, military? What do we know? Well, they're very clear to getting detail about what exactly China is doing for Russia. This was really a hearing where the leaders of this intelligence agencies across the U.S. government wanted to spell a broad themes and what they were saying was essentially listen despite all of those efforts by the Biden administration to warn China against assisting Russia against allying with Russia trying to push it away and isolate Russia over the war in Ukraine, the acknowledgment was essentially that it's not working. The world's second largest economy is only deepening its ties with Russia and they reserve the UC details for a classified briefing that unfortunately we did not have access to it. Yeah, okay, that's a way it goes, doesn't it? So what I was able to green light from what I heard from director national intelligence director Avril Haines was that China's economy was in trouble. It's pretty strong cut actually. And Russia's at war and they need each other or is that an oversimplification? Well, that's certainly part of it. So certainly what they were saying that factoring into China's calculations about its adversarial relationship with the U.S. and the burgeoning relationship with Russia is that economic growth is slowing. I mean, it was not that long ago that China was predicting GDP growth every year of 7% this year it came in at around 5% in a big for the U.S., but small for a country like China. So that's really factoring into a lot of their analysis. And you saw a big component of the intelligence

"Intelligence review of Trump document theft is appropriate, says White House. Program to provide free home COVID tests is ending. And Greenland zombie ice will raise sea level ten inches. It's Tuesday, August 30. I'm Anthony Davis. The White House on Monday said it is appropriate that the U.S. intelligence community is reviewing potential national security risks if former president Donald Trump took ultra sensitive material to his residence after his term ended. The White House is not involved in that probe of materials recovered during a search of Trump's Florida residents, the Biden administration said. National intelligence director Avril Haines said in a letter to lawmakers on Friday that her office is working with the Justice Department to facilitate a classification review of documents, including those recovered during the August 8th search. The Justice Department on Friday disclosed it was investigating Trump for removing White House documents because it believed he illegally held documents, including some involving intelligence gathering and clandestine human sources among America's most closely held secrets. In the letter to lawmakers, Haines said that DNI will also lead an intelligence community assessment of the potential risk to national security that would result from the disclosure of the relevant documents, including those seized. She said the DNI was aiming not to interfere with the ongoing criminal investigation. The FBI search of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach ended with the seizure of 11 sets of classified records, including some labeled top secret as documents that could gravely threaten national security if exposed. Meanwhile, on Monday, Trump posted on his own social media site that he wanted the 2020 election declared irreparably compromised, and for him to be reinstated as the rightful winner. The U.S. government is suspending its program of free home tests for COVID-19 this week, amid disagreements over who should pay for the initiative. The free home tests which have provided up to 16 tests for each household are scheduled to come to a halt on Friday. In the future, people requiring tests for work or travel on wanting to confirm that they have the illness will need to claim the costs of a home test on health insurance or seek results through federally backed testing sites. Biden's administration had asked Congress for more than $23 billion earlier this year to pay for tests, vaccines and other protections. Republicans rebuffed the request, saying that the money should come out of other budgets. The gradual phasing out of federal support comes as the first COVID vaccine that has been especially updated to protect against the highly contagious omicron variant is about to be rolled out. The boosters may be available as early as next week and are expected to be authorized for anyone aged 12 and older. Despite the reigning back of government funding, COVID continues to be a challenge for hospital systems across the country. The average number of new cases a day has fallen, but it remains high at slightly above 90,000 per day. The number of hospitalizations and deaths is also fallen, although long COVID is affecting an increasing number of patients worldwide. The administration's decision to pull back on free home testing appears partly inspired by a desire to store up reserves in preparation for an anticipated surge in cases as winter sets in. Zombie ice from the massive Greenland ice sheet will eventually raise global sea levels by at least ten inches on its own, according to a study released yesterday. Zombie or doom dice is ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by those larger glaciers. That's because the parent glaciers are getting less replenishing snow. Meanwhile, the doom dice is melting from climate change, according to study co author William colgan, a glaciologist at the geological survey of Denmark and Greenland. Its dead ice, it's just going to melt and disappear from the ice sheet colgan said. This ice has been consigned to the ocean, regardless of what climate emissions scenario we take now. Study lead author Jason bocks, a glaciologist at the Greenland survey, said it's more like one foot in the grave. The unavoidable ten inches in the study is more than twice as much sea level rise as scientists had previously expected from the melting of Greenland's ice sheet. The study and the journal nature climate change said it could reach as much as 30 inches. This is the first time scientists calculated a minimum ice loss and accompanying sea level rise. For Greenland one of earth's two massive ice sheets that are slowly shrinking because of climate change from burning coal, oil, and methane gas. The team doesn't know how long it will take for all the doomed ice to melt, but making an educated guess, they say it would probably be by the end of this century, or at least by 21 50.

And Warren also telling CNN State of the Union, this means middle and working class families can build stronger futures for their children. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders meantime calling GOP criticism of the student loan break, a double standard. Because he says Republicans have been giving breaks to the wealthiest taxpayers all along, and not to the working class. Sanders says the richest Americans get even bigger tax breaks.

Vladimir Putin preparing for a prolonged conflict in Ukraine, both of these are based upon statements by the director of national intelligence Avril Haines in the United States. The DNI is Avril Haines. He said we have assessed that Putin's just going to consolidate his gains in the Donbass and then push on. This has prompted his well, the prime minister of Poland to issue a statement, his name is Mauro weki, that Vladimir Putin is quote more dangerous than Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin because of his ideology and because of the weapons that he possesses.

"Life all that right here on the briefing with me, Marcus hippie. U.S. intelligence has said that Vladimir Putin is preparing for a lengthy war in Ukraine, with even victory in the east potentially not ending the conflict. Let's have a listen to what the U.S. intelligence chief Avril Haines had to say earlier. The next month or two of fighting will be significant as the Russians attempt to reinvigorate their efforts, but even if they are successful, we are not confident that the fight in the Donbass will effectively end the war. We assess president Putin is preparing for prolonged conflict in Ukraine during which he still intends to achieve goals beyond the Donbass. But Putin most likely also judges that Russia has a greater ability and willingness to endure challenges than his adversaries. And he is probably counting on U.S. and EU resolve to weaken as food shortages, inflation, energy prices get worse. Moreover, as both Russia and Ukraine believe they can continue to make progress militarily. We do not see a viable negotiating path forward, at least in the short term. Her comments follow reports from the United Nations that the situation in Ukraine is graver than it's all originally feared. Let's get the latest now with sir Mark Lyle grant the UK's ambassador to the United Nations between 2009 and 2015. Welcome to the program. Now its own like the west will have to get prepared for very long conflict in Ukraine. What does that mean in practice? Well, I think it's unlikely, in fact, that the current intensity of fighting is like is will last much more than a month or two is able Haynes would say. But I think the chances of there being a sort of low level conflict continuing thereafter is indeed very high. We shouldn't forget that.

"Russia's goals in Ukraine remain massive but the reality of the ground right now could be more limiting for Vladimir Putin and his country That's what director of national intelligence Avril Haines tells the Senate armed services committee This morning CBS senior executive course this morning CBS senior investigative correspondent Catherine herridge on her testimony this week Well the director of national intelligence testified that Putin's military is consolidating its position in the Donbass region but it was described to lawmakers as just a temporary shift and that Russia's strategic goals remain unchanged and that essentially the two parties are locked in a war of attrition and the longer it goes on in the coming months the more likely it is that Putin will become unpredictable and the risk of escalation will also increase Catherine U.S. leaders are formally blaming Russia for a significant cyberattack Give us an idea of what's going on What was the target This was the first time that we have heard U.S. officials labeling with Russia for an attack on a U.S. satellite communications firm via set They said the goal of the Russians was to disrupt the command and control communications of Ukraine with its military on the ground but the attack had this ripple effect that affected networks outside of Ukraine So it's not an attack per se targeting the U.S. government but it was an attack that went after one of our interests Putin's military has taken a lot of losses which were pretty unexpected at the beginning of this What's the latest assessment on the number of Russian generals killed Well the testimony from the director of the defense intelligence agency So this is the group that has the big picture over a foreign government's military is that between 8 and ten Russian generals People in the leadership positions have been killed in Ukraine And that tells us a couple of things Number one it tells you how important this war is to Vladimir Putin that he'll take is very senior people and put them in harm's way on the front lines but it also tells you that they likely don't have high confidence that their troops can carry out the mission So that speaks to the idea that the Russian military may not be as effective as we had previously got Anything else that struck you I think this idea of attrition that both sides the Ukrainians and the Russians believe that they can prevail in the longer term And the longer this goes on and the more weakened Vladimir Putin becomes and his military this really raises the specter of escalation We talked on your network probably a couple of months ago now but this idea of the use of tactical nukes and this is part of their escalation ladder.
