President Biden is said to announce a new initiative aimed at allowing travelers to see the true cost of airline tickets. The White House says the transportation department's new rule would stop airlines from hiding things like baggage and change fees. That would help consumers save money upfront and encourage more competition among airlines to offer better fares. The president this afternoon will push other agencies to take similar actions, focused on boosting transparency on hidden fees that can balloon true costs. The administration's taken similar actions on bank and credit card fees. The moves come as The White House looks for more ways to lower costs amid high inflation. Kindergarten will not be mandatory in California. Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed legislation Sunday Night that would have required children to attend kindergarten before entering the first grade at a public school. He pointed to the costs of mandatory kindergarten about $268 million a year. Money he said is not accounted for in the California budget. Those who want to require kindergarten say it could help close the academic opportunity gap for low income students and students of color, as well as help children develop important social skills before the first grade.

Why Isn't Pete Buttigieg More Serious About the Spy Balloons, UFOs?
"I just think it's astounding that he has an address these trained derailments or the balloons. That's his responsibility. These balloons, these mysterious balloons that we've apparently shot out of the sky, but we don't know where they're from or what they contain, but we're shooting them like, you know, like a video game, they were a threat to commercial airspace. He's the transportation secretary. Where is he? They send him out to talk about everything else on Biden's behalf. Why does he talk about transportation? And this was a guy who literally said that bridge bridges in New Yorker racist that on Long Island, they purposely built that Robert Moses built low bridges because the robustness that contained Puerto Ricans who wanted to go to the beach, but somehow the buses were too tall, so they couldn't take the Puerto Ricans to the beach. She bridges were built intentionally to prevent Puerto Ricans from going to the beach. Bridges, I mean, it's unbelievable that this is the guy who runs the transportation department. Where's the media? Calling him out. Why doesn't anybody call this guy out? He's absolutely missing in action.

Tucker Carlson: Mayor Pete 'Solved' Equity, Not Transportation
"Tucker Carlson had an epic monologue pretty brutal if your Pete Buttigieg about the state of affairs with today's transportation department. Now mayor Pete himself flies private so he didn't have a tactile firsthand experience with our crumbling airports or crowded stinking planes last refurbished during the Clinton administration. But he knew something more important, he knew that the FAA was beset by structural misogyny and transphobia. And to fix that, mayor Pete had the FAA announced that the aviation system called notice to airmen, that's the system that keeps pilots up to the end of their flights. That system would change immediately. Actually, the system itself wouldn't change. It would remain the same. But more important, the name would change. Going forward, it would be called notice to air missions. Missions, not met missions. See the massive improvement there. Now we're getting somewhere. So at the beginning of last year, mayor Pete declared victory. 2022, he said, would be the year that quote every transportation decision inherently is in many ways a decision about equity. In April of last year, mayor Pete noted that ensuring equity and accessibility for every member of the traveling public is one of the department's highest priorities. So he was on it and the equity crisis was solved. Unfortunately, our transportation problems were not solved. They had, in the meantime, become much worse. In fact, it reached a point. It is at a point that you might experience and say a trip across Bangladesh. Just ask anybody on the train that was headed from the northeast to Orlando, took 37 hours.

FAA Meltdown Is Pete Buttigieg's Next Political Headache
"How about having to ground all of America's airliners first time there's been a full ground stop since 9 11. The transportation department is in such a shambles well maybe it's because we got to transportation secretary who's more worried about equity and inclusion and environmental justice than keeping the planes flying. This is the same guy that said that America's bridges are racist. And roads are racist. That's the guy that we're supposed to take seriously as the transportation secretary, whose only claim to fame is he was the mayor of a middle sized town in Indiana.

What Peter Kirsanow Expects in 2023 From the GOP Majority
"To spend the last four minutes on 2023. Republicans are taking over. Again, not a large majority in the House, and they don't have a majority at all in the Senate, but they have some power and they have some opportunities. I don't think to do much legislating. I don't think they're going to be able to pass a lot of laws. They're going to be a lot of stalemates, a lot of gridlock with the Senate, but they can do a lot of things with respect to oversight and investigation on what has been going on in these last two years. What do you expect in 2023 out of the GOP majority? Well, the first thing I expect is what we just talked about, that is that they really do need to look at the institutional corruption predominantly in the FBI and DoJ because those are the most serious right now. Twitter is just the tip of the iceberg. The weaponization of the FBI going after ordinary Americans, such as people praying in front of abortion, like simply praying, but they will forget about threats to individuals made from the left or damage to the right to life clinics, anything of that nature, they just, you know, who cares. Nobody cares. It's that weaponization that's a real problem. And I expect that the oversight committees are going to be looking at that. I also think they're going to be looking generally at overall institutional and competence. It's widespread so they're going to have a lot on their plate. But look at transportation. We just saw so many debacles emanating from the transportation department. And that's just one matter. I mean, one department. There are so many of these things, but I think justice FBI under justice is the first order of business. And they've got to look at all of the other corruption that's been allowed to fester. Mainly because the media will turn a blind eye. They are not a separate watchdog identity at all when it comes to Democrats. They

At 6 O two, it's 68° right now in downtown Seattle good evening and thanks for joining us for your ride home or wherever you may be headed on this Friday evening in for rickon Brian Calvert, along with Kim shepherd. Another weekend of road work, but the transportation department is hoping things will go a little smoother this time and they've scheduled a number of construction closures, including the total closure of highway 5 20 in both directions between I 5 and Seattle and 92nd street in Clyde hill. Como force Hannah Knowles has more. Just last weekend, drivers experienced a traffic nightmare on I 90. Brake lights for miles, people stuck in traffic for hours, all heading on to Mercer island. I had people waiting 5, 6 hours trying to get back on the island. And once they get on the island, they couldn't get onto east Mercer, west Mercer. It was a mess. The stand still was the result of a pre scheduled construction project, an outcome drivers say they hope is not the same this weekend. When there's such a big disruption, you've got to have some solutions for the public to get around easier. Launch dog says they hope this weekend with the huskies and the Seahawks on the road, traffic won't be as bad going in and out of the city. 5 20 closure is set to begin at 11 tonight. Meanwhile, there is also work planned on I 5 near I 90 this weekend, but it won't impact as much of the freeway as it usually does. Starting at 9 30 this weekend's revive I 5 closure will be confined to the far right southbound lane at I 90, as well as the ramp to Colombian way.

"Of flights delayed and canceled. I've passenger stranded at airports. It was a scene that neither the airlines nor the administration wanted to see repeated. So in the wake of that, several changes were made to recall thousands of flights were leader pull from schedules just to make sure that the airlines had enough buffer to take on additional loads as they came on. But here, he's now saying you must be clear airlines about what your customer service policy are outlining what you do in the event of things within your control, be it a staffing issue or other things. Passengers need to know how to be made whole about their refunds. Booking other flights, et cetera. And so just to kind of make sure an extra level of enforcement, September 2nd, DOT will launch its own website, which will kind of spotlight and showcases which airlines provide which services in the event of such delays or cancellations. Almost sounds like in a lot of ways that old passengers Bill of rights that we talked about years ago. It does. And you know, it is confusing. Let's be clear. You get to an airport, your flights later canceled your frustrated. You're kind of under pressure. You're not always clear on what the fine print is. And in that moment, it can be difficult to get your wits about you. Go over to the desk for help or go through all your options. This aims to put all that information right in the hands of the travelers so that they can figure out their next steps. And also have essentially two, the backing of the government to enforce those services too. Of course, as you said, we've heard plenty from the airlines a recent months about a lack of workers and that kind of thing has there been any response from them. You know, they are saying they are doing their absolute best. Working to recruit more pilots more flight staff and we've seen them also kind of place the blame too on the FAA and understaffing there. The FAA kind of pointing back and saying, it's not really us. It's more of you. Somewhere in the middle, there might be a more truthful account of what's really going on. But we do know summer is always hectic. There's always weather. There's always cancellations, always higher demand. But what the transportation secretary here is saying here is there needs to be more accountability. What will you do to guarantee that these travelers are going to get to where they're trying to go in a timely fashion or at least make them whole for any delays or types that happen along the way? Is there any sense of what might happen if the airlines don't make improvements? You get the sense, they're going to make improvements. They may not come at the speed or the size that the DOT or Americans may want, but they are going to have to do something.

When will the West Seattle Bridge be fixed, and how much will it cost?
"Has been nearly a year since the West Seattle Bridge closed down because of the cracking concrete, and now we're getting some prediction on when it might be open again. Here's Chris Sullivan, and that prediction is the end of June 2022 that is the target goal for returning traffic to the West Seattle Bridge, But that's about a space Civic is the city can be. I would like to be very, very specific about the time and date when you will be able to drive across the bridge. I cannot give that to you today that Seattle's mobility director, Heather Marks, who also also cautions West Seattle residents that include herself that even when the repairs are complete, that doesn't necessarily mean the traffic is going to immediately return. This is not a repair where we're just going to drop tools when we're done and open up the bridge, too. Traffic. We want to make sure that this is safe and we want to be able to measure and see how the bridge and the repairs respond to additional live load. Drivers should expect that the lanes to will open little by little over the days and weeks after repairs are complete, primarily just for safety and to prevent backups. We also need to think about how to create the conditions under which when we open up that first lane Everybody doesn't you know, heard to the bridge and we have backups from follow. Right, Fareed I five. So we need to think about that to the city has reached the 30% design Fresh Holden milestone on this project, and the request for bids went public yesterday. It's gonna be an interesting partnership. The way that they're doing. This is that they're bringing the contractor on board at this point. That will allow the contractor the winning contractor to work with the city on final design, from 30% completion to the end that allows them to see any potential problems and design as they're doing it that also helps speed up the process. It's expected that the repairs we will begin in November, repairs to the lower Spokane Street Bridge or also included in this contract that needs a little shoring up works and cracked filling, and it also might need some repair to the center locking mechanism. Mark says. It is possible that there will be times when both the high and the low bridge will be closed the same time, But she expects those to be brief. To the extent that we have to close the low bridge. We're gonna aim for weekends or holiday weekends to make sure that we're disrupt. Thing as few people as possible. Now, Speaking of that low bridge discussions are ongoing about how to allow more access to that lower bridge on call. Medical workers have been added to the list of people who can use that bridge while racing to the hospital. But they end up getting it a photo enforcement ticket and then have to prove they were an emergency call to get that wiped away. Not really the most efficient way to do things. Seattle police have told me that automated photo enforcement issued more than 7500 tickets in the 1st 15 days of February. That's just a two week period. But since then, and more the word has gotten out. The city says that more than 2000 fewer vehicles a day are now using that bridge, which means okay, maybe we have a little extra capacity. And there's a big push right now to allow people who need life saving medical care like chemotherapy or dialysis to use the bridge, but The problem is Terminal five, is going to reopen for business on Harbor Island next year. And so the city is worried that if they allow more access now, they'll have to take it away later and they don't want to do that. They don't want to carry that. Briscoe start opening a lot more. We'll be exactly because they're going to see significant amount of freight traffic. And because of that, they're going to see the capacity go away. As for the money, the dollar figures in all of this $175 million is the budget. That covers the repairs to the West Seattle Bridge. The lower Spokane Street Bridge also includes the money already spent for the showing process, traffic mitigation improvements being made in West Seattle. The monitoring work city already has about 124 million of that, and it's aggressively looking for Mawr's, according to Sam, Zimbabwe, the head of the Transportation Department. We're moving are a lot of different paths forward. We don't project that funding is going to be the challenge that Holds us up in this, but we still have some some fresh holds across and make sure that we have the resources needed to bring this resource back online.

Meantime, in Australia in Sydney ASX 200 off about 2.4%. The negativity began here in the U. S. And some of this decline seems to be tied to a move among hedge funds. To unwind leverage positions.

Let's check global news here on daybreak Asia and he's in the Bloomberg 9 60 newsroom in San Francisco head, aren't they all these days are indeed Yeah, that's it. We're on a sprint marathon every day. After a call with President Joe Biden. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says the number one job together is to blunt the expanding power of China. UK Foreign Minister Dominic Raab is talked with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says their shared priorities on China and Russia. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says if things go well, It looks like March 8th for some school re openings. Hong Kong setting up 18 community vaccination centers as it sets up its vaccination distribution plan to begin late February head of the CDC. US vaccine distribution expanding quickly, she says today, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has now lifted restrictions on most hot spots across the state. Declaring an end to the post holiday surge warning there could be another button end of this one. Ah. U S President Joe Biden focused on climate change today re tighten the so called tailpipe restrictions in San Francisco. I'm Ed Baxter, This is Bloomberg. All right, you guys back to you, Jules. Thank you so much. Ed. Let's get now to retired Navy Admiral James Stavridis. He is also former military commander of NATO and Bloomberg opinion columnist and friend of this program here to discuss why President Biden needs to prepare for the next big hag. So, Admiral, we're talking here about the fact that we had this breach of solar winds court by suspected Russian hackers. You're saying Essentially, this is something that kind of went a little bit unnoticed in admits the inauguration, But it is something that we should be very closely watching for in terms of you know how the nation is going to be kept safe here in cyberspace. Let's start by just looking at the scope and scale of this hack. Really? We haven't seen anything like this clearly conducted by the Russian intelligence. Military services. They hacked into 400 of the fortune 500 companies, They hacked into all of the U. S military services. Hacked into essentially every department of the U. S government. Now at this stage, Juliet Think that military context is kind of carpet bombing. They've gone in. They've looked around. They've launched a few individual shots, but what we have yet to see is The degree to which they will use this, you know, precision guided way to go after government commercial entities are big companies of banks, our electric grid. We've not heard the last of this. It's a big deal, and by the way, I'll close by saying President Biden correctly mentioned this today in his call with President Putin. Saying This is unacceptable behavior in a coolie is so to use the military analogy and going a step further. Obviously, there's the defensive position and fortifying What needs to happen? I guess in terms of the infrastructure that needs to become more robust to prevent something like this in the future, But I'm wondering on the off offensive side. Is there a way To retaliate either through sanctions or or some other path. Indeed, there is in you Put your finger on it. If you think about the Cold War and you ask yourself, why did the Soviet Union nor the United States ever use nuclear weapons? It really was not because of defenses structures it was because of deterrence. Each side knew that the other had the capability to launch a devastating attack. So step one for the Biden administration is simply to make it clear the Russia That we will respond. We will respond at an appropriate in proportional level and that if Russia chooses to escalate this confrontation in cyber We will match them. So this is the task of the Biden administration going forward. It's going to be challenging. Here's the good news done. We have the capability. To match Russia step by step or a bit ahead of them in this curve, and I think we need to put that in play and avoid a future attack like this. Focus through some of your thoughts here about how that can be done because you're talking about perhaps splitting up the N s A and cyber command and also bringing back one of the commission's former directors. Indeed, one thing to focus on and not encouraged listeners who are interested in this topic. Toe look at what is called solarium report like Solar Solari in report. It's just completed is bipartisan conducted by the Congress and looks at the nation's cyber security. Two key recommendations. Follow one is this idea you just mentioned of dividing the National Security Agency and intelligence cyber operation. From the U. S Cyber Command the military operation. Look, We don't have the Department of defense in the CIA working for the same person. We shouldn't have. In cyber intelligence. That's the NSA. And the military side Cyber Command working for the same person divide those They're two very big jobs. The other big idea is creating the cyber force. We have a space force. Something Trump administration did. I think it was a good idea, Maura. Important is that have a cyber force, a small group? The U. S military personnel who are focused on defending the nation in this area. Admiral. To what extent? Does the government need the cooperation of I'll use the term Silicon Valley, America's high tech industry. I mean, is this something that they the government has the potential to go alone? Or do they need cooperation and help from the private sector? Without question. The government cannot do this alone. It's because the entire cyber sphere is so woven into the fabric of our society. So you're absolutely right down. At a minimum, they need strong cooperation from Silicon Valley. I'll take it a step further listeners here on Bloomberg there really need cooperation of the financial sector of the major financial institutions. In the nation. The big banks the big mutual funds, all of whom have an important equity in protecting themselves in cyber, and it's. Beyond that. It's the transportation grid. It's the medical system. It is our educational systems. All of these elements need to step up and contribute. So this is the ultimate teams for you're not gonna have an M V P. Most valuable player. The government just come in and protect you. Not gonna work that way. It's got to be private, public cooperating together. Noticed cybersecurity. But a lot of other international security issues the button administration is facing just quickly talk us through some of the key ones that you would think would be on top of the president's agenda. Give you a free that I think are top of mind. One is Iran and whether or not to re enter the Iranian nuclear deal. That's a controversial topic. Would take us a while. The unpacking Joe all that, But I think how we deal with Iran will be very much at the top number two getting closer and re establishing firm cooperation with our European allies, the European Union. Number three. In that regard how we face China how we face the rise of China. How do we establish a policy of confronting where we must, but cooperating where we can? Because both U. S and China Big equities in a functioning international system..
