1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: And I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Karen, we begin this morning with the latest developments out

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: of the Middle East. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NETANYAHUO has

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: held a series of meetings planning the next attack on Iran.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: That's after a Hesbala drone exploded next to his private home.

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: We get more from Bloomberg's Patrick Sykes in the Middle East.

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 3: The timeline to be clear, I think is still unclear,

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: but that series of meetings over the weekend does suggest

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: that it's firmly back on the agenda in the security circles.

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 3: There were some leaks over the weekend from the US

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: side suggesting that drones would be involved. That would tally

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: with the last sort of back and forth earlier this

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: year in April, when Israel's thought to have used drones

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: to target Iranian radar facility. And then the only other

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: lineup over the weekend was the Iranian Foreign minister calling

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: any potential attack from Israel against her on a red

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: line and promising to reply in kind. So both sides

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: keeping up the rhetoric, but it does remain to be

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: seen so when exactly it will take place?

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Patrick Sike says Israel's killing of Hamas leader yach

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: Ya sin War was viewed by many as a potential

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: turning point, but in the days since combat has intensified,

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: with Hesbala and.

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Hamas now to the latest in the presidential race, Nathan.

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: With fifteen days until the election, former President Donald Trump

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: held a town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He addressed a

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: new line of attack from a Vice president Kamala Harris

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: that he's getting tired on the campaign trail.

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 4: I've done cognitive tests.

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 5: I've done him twice and I aced both of them,

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 5: and the doctor in one case said I've never seen

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 5: anybody asom They've never seen anybody.

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 6: As but I'd like to see cognitive.

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: Tests for anybody running for president or vice president.

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: Later today, Trump will hold a rally in Greenville, North Carolina,

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: after heavily criticizing the Biden administration's response to Hurricane Helene.

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: He has a series of splashy media events planned in

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: the campaign's final days, including a rally at Madison Square

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Garden this Sunday.

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: Well Meanwhile, Karen Vice President Harris, visited a black church

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: in Stonecrest, Georgia on Sunday and gave an interview to

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: the Reverend Al Sharpton on MSNBC. She was asked about

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: the former president's quote street talk on the campaign and

46
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: use of vulgar language to describe her record as vice president.

47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 7: The President of the United States must set a standard

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 7: not only for our nation, but understanding the standard that

49
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 7: we as a nation must set for the world.

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris predicted Trump's lack of decorum would be a

51
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: disqualifier with voters. New federal campaign finance filings show the

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: Harris campaign raised two hundred and twenty one point eight

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: million dollars in September. That's more than three times the

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: sixty two point seven million raised by the Trump campaign.

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: The latest Real Clear Politics average of national polls shows

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: the race still neck and neck, with Harris leading Trump

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: by just nine tenths of one percent.

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: Let me turn to the markets now, Nathan and Wall

59
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: Street gets back to work with stocks in record territory.

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: In fact, the S and P five hundred is coming

61
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: off it's forty seventh record close of the year. Kamal Batia,

62
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: president and CEO of Principal Asset Management.

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 8: Look, I think the markets have very powerful momentum right now,

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 8: not just here but also other parts of the world.

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 8: So I do think the market conditions are perfect for

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 8: equities to do well here, although the valuations are getting rich.

67
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Principal Asset Managements Kamal Batia notes the S and P

68
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: five hundred has risen for six straight weeks.

69
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: And well, that's raised concerns over valuations. Karen Muddy Waters

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Capital founder Carson Block says most investors would now do

71
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: better to just buy the biggest US stocks.

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: There's a FED put.

73
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 7: There's always a FED put, you know. Does there come

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 7: a point in time when the system breaks and the

75
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 7: FED can't fix it? Theoretically yes, in our lifetimes.

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

77
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 7: So I think for now it probably pays not the

78
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 7: thing too much, just close your eyes and buy, you know,

79
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 7: probably mag seven.

80
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: Muddy Waters Capital founder Carson Block also tells Bloomberg the

81
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: China stock market is uninvestable.

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan. The parade of earnings continues, with the number

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: of high profile companies reporting this week, including several Down members.

86
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 9: and Coca Cola. It questions about whether the outlook for

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 9: corporate profits justifies current valuations. Quincy Crosby is chief Global

88
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 9: strategist at LPL Financial.

89
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 10: This is a market that really is discerning and will

90
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 10: punish any slight, any slight hint in the guidance that

91
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 10: doesn't meet ultimately the valuations.

92
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 9: Also reporting this week ge Tesla, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines.

93
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,279

Speaker 2: All right, Charlie, thank you. The S and P five

96
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: hundred decade of big gains is about to come to

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: an end. That is, according to strategists at Goldman Sacks.

98
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: They say US stocks are unlikely to sustain their above

99
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: average performance as investors turned to other assets, including bonds,

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: for better returns. Goldman predicts the SMP will post an

101
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: annualized nominal total return of just three percent over the

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: next ten years. That compares with thirteen percent in the

103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: last decade and a long term average of eleven percent.

104
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: Well Nathan and company news shares it boeing up almost

105
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: four percent this morning. The Planemaker and the union representing

106
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand striking members hammered out a tentative new

107
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: accord that not just a pay by thirty five percent

108
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: over four years, but the hourly workers had the final

109
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: say with their vote on Wednesday, and approval is far

110
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: from certain. They overwhelmingly rejected a deal in September.

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: Look for a jump in Treasury yields, Skaren. That's the

112
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: call out a t ROW price. The firm says the

113
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: tenure Treasury will test the five percent threshold in the

114
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: next six months off the back of rising inflation, next

115
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: PIT dictations, and concerns over US fiscal spending. The call

116
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: stands out against market expectations of lower yields after the

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: Fed cut rates for the first time in four years

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: last month.

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: Unnice time offert look at some of the other stories

120
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: making news in New York and around the world, and

121
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Laher.

122
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: Michael, Good morning, Good morning, Karen.

123
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 11: Hurricane Oscar made landfall and Cuba last night, bringing powerful

124
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 11: winds across the island, which is already experiencing an island

125
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 11: wide power outage. Senior hurricane specialist Brad Reinhardt, What's.

126
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 12: Gonna be the biggest problem going forward is the heavy

127
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 12: rainfall associated with OSCAR. So, I mean it could produce

128
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 12: rainfall amounts of six to twelve inches with isolated amounts

129
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 12: up to eighteen inches across eastern Cuba, and so that's

130
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 12: going to pose the potential for flash flooding and mudslides,

131
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 12: particularly over areas of mountainous terrain.

132
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 11: Oscar's maximum wind speeds were eighty miles an hour when

133
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 11: he made landfall. Investigation has underway in Georgia, where a

134
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 11: catastrophic dock collapse took place on an island south of Savannah,

135
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 11: killing at least seven people. Several more were injured. McIntosh County,

136
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 11: Georgia official Kate Kerwaki says that President Biden has called

137
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 11: to offer his support.

138
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: I've personally had telephone calls from many elected officials from

139
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: every sector, beginning with our president on down to fellow

140
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: commissioners in our neighboring communities.

141
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 11: Officials say the ferry bridge was relatively new. It was

142
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 11: built at the end of twenty twenty one, which raises

143
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 11: a lot of questions about why it would fail so soon.

144
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 11: A helicopter crashed into a radio tower in Houston, Texas.

145
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 11: The pilot and three passengers were all killed when the

146
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 11: chopper brought down the tower in a Houston neighborhood. Authorities

147
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 11: and witnesses say the fiery aftermath and debris spread across

148
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 11: two to three blocks.

149
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: The fire, everything was just someone like, that's what I thought.

150
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: The first thing I thought it with the airplane Houston.

151
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 11: John Whitmyer, the.

152
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 5: Residents are secure and safe, but we have a terrible.

153
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 11: Accident see multiple fatalities. Police say a child was among

154
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 11: the four killed. President Joe Biden's administration unveiled a proposal

155
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 11: today that would require private health plans to cover over

156
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 11: the counter contraception at no additional cost to consumers. With

157
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 11: the FDA's approval of Ophil, the US joined more than

158
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 11: one hundred countries where birth control is already available without

208
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Israel is honing its attack

209
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 2: plan against Iran, nearly three weeks after the country's massive

210
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: ballistic missile strike against Israel earlier this month. The latest

211
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: provocation a Hezbola drone attack that breached Israel's air defenses

212
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: and exploded near Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home over

213
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: the weekend. For the very latest, we were joined now

214
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: by Bloomberg News Israel Bureau chief Ethan Brunner in Tel Aviv. Ethan,

215
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: good morning. So what is the latest? I understand Israel

216
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: has been going after Hesbola financial institutions in its latest strikes.

217
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: That's right, Nathan, they've been.

218
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 5: They've they announced late last night our time that they

219
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 5: were about to start doing so, and urging civilians to

220
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 5: live near the buildings that housed these Al Khard al

221
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 5: Hassan Association.

222
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: Institutions to get out.

223
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: Of the way, and then they began a pretty heavy

224
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 5: bombing campaign against them. They argue that this quasi bank

225
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: is in fact the way in which His Blood gets

226
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 5: its money, and in fact, the US Treasury did sanction

227
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 5: that organization eight years ago.

228
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 4: So there's some hitt.

229
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: So what does this tell us, then, ethan, about where

230
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: Israel could be going now against Iran. It's been nearly

231
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: three weeks since that ballistic missile strike, and now this

232
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: concern raised with the latest potential attack coming very close

233
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu himself.

234
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 5: Yes, well, of course it was a His Blood drone,

235
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 5: you know, not an Iranian drone. But we all know,

236
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 5: at least Israel says, and we accept on some level

237
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 5: that Iran is behind his bla very heavily, both in

238
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: terms of arms and money. Iran did distance itself from

239
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 5: that attack and is trying to keep in theory, you know,

240
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 5: calm things down. But there's no question that Israel is

241
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: planning some severe counterattack against Iran.

242
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to come the next day

243
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: or two.

244
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 5: We do have Almos Hawksteen, the American envoy to Lebanon,

245
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 5: in be route today, and we do have Tony Blink

246
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 5: and the American Secretary of State do here tomorrow. So

247
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 5: I think that there'll be some diplomatic activity for the

248
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 5: next couple of days. And don't forget that the Americans

249
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 5: provided the Israelis with anti ballistic missile defense system which

250
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 5: is now in place in Israel. So everyone's getting ready

251
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 5: for something, that's for sure.

252
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 14: Yeah.

253
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: Have we seen any signs at this point, Ethan, that

254
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: this round of this latest round of diplomatic activity has

255
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: had any impact on what the Israeli security cabinet might

256
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: be planning at this point.

257
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 5: It's a little unclear. They had a six or seven

258
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 5: hour meeting late last night and into the morning. Not

259
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 5: that many details have emerged as we underst stand it,

260
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 5: They discussed a bunch of things, which does tell us

261
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 5: a little something about the potential for diplomacy. There does

262
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 5: seem to be an appetite. I don't know that it

263
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 5: is overwhelming in the cabinet for some kind of more

264
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 5: regional deal that involves the hostage is held by Hamas

265
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 5: in Gaza, the situation at othern Elebanon by his Bellah,

266
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 5: and you.

267
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: Know, and the Houties and Iran and so on. So

268
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: there was some notion of some kind of a broader deal,

269
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: but it's not very clear what that would mean at

270
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: this point.

271
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: Does that idea of a broader deal imply that the

272
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: death of Hamas leader Sinwar has had some impact that

273
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: it could potentially be that pivot point that a lot

274
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: of people were talking about before this latest drone strike

275
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: on Prime Minister Ntsagna, who's home.

276
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 5: Yes, I think it does now that, to be fair,

277
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 5: came on top of the killing of Nostrala, the head

278
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 5: of Hasballah. Of course those page are bombings and so on.

279
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 5: So there was a sense in the last month, shall

280
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: we say that Israel, which had felt very much on

281
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 5: its back foot, had gotten back on the horse and

282
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 5: was in a position to drive the story, drive the

283
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: diplomacy more in its favor. So and then with the

284
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 5: killing of Sinhwar, I agree with you, this seems like

285
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 5: a moment when a number of israel Is again not all,

286
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 5: not those necessarily far to the right of Natanyahu, but

287
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 5: many would like to say take the win, let's get

288
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: something going and get these sasages home, and maybe we

289
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 5: have denatured enough of Hamas to not continue to have

290
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 5: to go to war against it continually.

291
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Ethan, we've only got about twenty seconds left. But

292
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: we heard former President Trump say he's spoken with Prime

293
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: Minister Natanyahu. How is US politics entering into all of

294
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: this if at all?

295
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 5: Look, I think it is to some extent. I mean,

296
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 5: we probably need more than twenty seconds to really analyze that.

297
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 5: But yeah, no doubt that there would be a difference

298
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 5: between between a Trump and a Harris victory from the

299
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 5: point of view of Israelis. But I do think both

300
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: potential administrations are likely to want to not be very

301
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: aggressive out here, look more domestically, and I think the

302
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 5: Israelis are.

303
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,800
