Speaker 1: Brian Curtis in Hong Kong. US President Joe Biden says

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: he has decided on how to respond to an attack

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: by Iran backed militants that killed three American troops in Jordan.

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: The White House had been facing criticism from lawmakers for

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,599

Speaker 1: to Yemen Christopher Henzel says a direct strike on Iran

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: would be a mistake.

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: The response is probably going to be proportional because escalating

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: the conflict, and we're already in a regional conflict linked

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: to KASA. But for the US to escalate it further,

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: I do not believe it being in US interest at all. However,

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: the US does not have too much control over this.

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: We've allowed ourselves over the years to get into a

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,879

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: deaths were the first by enemy fire since the Israel

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: confirm she's under criminal investigation by the Justice Department, she

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: says she's already been clear to the same complaint by

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,880

Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio Citadel founder Ken Griffin says Nicki Haley is

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: qualified to be president, but her path to beat Donald

43
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: Trump for the Republican nomination is looking doubtful. Griffin spoke

Speaker 1: about his past support for Haley at the MFA Network

45
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: conference in Miami. Here's Bloomberg Politics reporter Stephanie Laie in Washington.

46
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 5: It is quite vague based off of what he said.

47
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 5: He said that he supported her in the past, and

48
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 5: that's not actually clear if that meant in this last

49
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 5: cycle or if he was referring to his contribution in

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one. So it's not entirely clear what sureholds

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 5: for Ken Griffin and Nikki Haley's relationship.

52
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: Griffin plans to focus on down ballot races this year.

53
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,079

56
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,080

57
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: Ira Jersey says that investors will be looking for more

58
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: guidance for March from chair Palell.

59
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 6: He was going to probably say every meeting is live,

60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 6: but at the same time, you know, some meetings are

61
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 6: more live than others. I would say, so, I think

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: that if the FED is thinking about cutting in March,

63
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 6: he really has to make that not abundantly clear, but

64
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 6: I think he has to make it a little bit

65
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 6: more clear that they're going to be going to be

66
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 6: cutting in March.

67
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,760
