Trump Says He’d ‘Feel Very Comfortable’ Living in Mamdani’s NYC
Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.President Donald Trump said he wants to see Zohran Mamdani succeed, saying after a highly anticipated sit-down that he’d “feel very comfortable” living in a New York run by the mayor-elect and that he doesn’t anticipate cutting off funding for the country’s most populous city.“I expect to be helping him, not hurting him,” Trump said of Mamdani in a press conference that repeatedly stressed the two politicians’ political alignment over cost-of-living issues. “I want New York City to be great.”The meeting was the first between the two leaders who have clashed publicly over their political agendas but are seeking to determine if they can work together. Their talks held high stakes for the governance of the capital of global finance and for their respective political parties ahead of next year’s midterm elections.During the mayoral election, Trump repeatedly assailed Mamdani — a democratic socialist who won on a progressive platform — as a “communist,” urging voters to reject his candidacy and threating to pull government funding from New York, the president’s hometown. Republicans have also eagerly sought to turn Mamdani into a foil for Democratic policies with voters well beyond the city.On Friday, the two men appeared cordial and friendly, with Trump shrugging off questions about Mamdani’s prior references to the president as a “despot” as “not that insulting.” They told reporters that they spent the majority of their meeting discussing the cost of rent, groceries and utilities. The president also said he shared some of Mamdani’s ideas on how to address affordability.Today's show features: Bloomberg News White House and National Security Editor Michelle Jamrisko on President Donald Trump’s White House meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani Sarah Levy, CEO of Betterment, and Bloomberg News Senior Editor, Equities Americas Eric Weiner recap the volatile week in markets and react to President Trump’s meeting with NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani Christina Cassotis, Chief Executive Officer of the Pittsburgh International Airport, on the opening of the airport’s new terminal and preparations for holiday travel amid lingering effects from the government shutdown See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Blue Owl Money Machine Sputters in Face of Private Credit Cracks
Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Blue Owl Capital Inc.’s Craig Packer has been something of a mainstay on the New York Stock Exchange in recent years, ringing the opening bell multiple times to toast the private credit giant’s public funds.On Wednesday, minutes after the market opened, his mood was anything but celebratory.Blue Owl had just announced it was scrapping a planned merger of two of its private credit funds, backtracking on a plan revealed Nov. 5 after scrutiny arose over the potential losses some investors would have to swallow as part of the deal. The parent company’s shares had fallen this week to the lowest level since 2023.Packer bemoaned “negative articles” about private credit that caused its stock to sink. When it comes to Blue Owl’s business development companies, the firm’s co-founder said on CNBC, “there’s no emergency here.”The abrupt reversal is a rare egg-on-face moment for Blue Owl, which for years has been held up as the poster child of the boom times in the $1.7 trillion private credit market. Created as a merger between Owl Rock Capital and Dyal Capital Partners in 2021, it has pitched itself as a one-stop financing shop that can compete with banks and the biggest alternative asset managers.Today's show features: Bloomberg News Chief Correspondent for Private Capital Davide Scigliuzzo and Chief Wall Street Correspondent Sridhar Natarajan on the fallout from Blue Owl’s scrapped private-credit fund merger, and whether it portends further credit market pain Abby Roach, Senior Portfolio Analyst for the Empiric LT Equity Team with Allspring Global Investments, on quarterly earnings from Walmart and the outlook for the US consumer Lane Bess, CEO of Deep Instinct, Chairman of Blaize, and former CEO of Palo Alto Networks, on Nvidia’s impact on the broader market for semiconductors Brent Schutte, CIO at Northwestern Mutual Management, on the lack of timely government data contributing to uncertainty about the state of the US. economy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
