WEBVTT - US-Iran Exchange Strikes; Platner Wins Maine Primary

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>are the stories we're following today.

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Karen, we begin with new developments in the Middle East.

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 3>US forces have carried out fresh strikes on Iran, targeting

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 3>air defense and surveillance sites near the Strait of Horror Moves.

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 3>The military is describing the attacks as proportional. They came

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 3>hours after President Trump blamed Tehran for shooting down an

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 3>American military helicopter. ABC Chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Carl was

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 3>on the phone with President Trump when the strikes were announced.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 4>The President made it clear to me that these US

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 4>strikes on Iran are specifically in response to Iran's downing

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 4>of that Apache helicopter. He brought up the peace deal

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 4>that he is trying to negotiate with the Iranians. It

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 4>seemed clear to me that even as he was ordering

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 4>US attacks on Iran, he still believes he can get

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 4>a peace deal with the Iranians.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.119
<v Speaker 3>And ABC's Jonathan carlsa's President Trump told him he does

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 3>not see the strikes as the start of a major

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.839
<v Speaker 3>new offensive. Bloomberg Middle East corresponded to Birabu Omar says

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Iran has retaliated now.

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 5>The Iranian response came in the shape of attacks against

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 5>some GCC countries that includes the US Fifth Fleet and Bahan,

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 5>but also some US bases in Kuwait and in Jordan

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 5>as well. A US base was attacked there. The IRGC

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 5>came out and said that any attack will be responded to.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.119
<v Speaker 5>President Trump maintains that discussions to reach the ceasefire truce

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 5>are still underway and that Pakistan is still very much

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 5>mediating those truce discussions.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Bloomberg's a birabo Olmar says iron has not acknowledged shooting

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 3>down the US helicopter.

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's turn to politics at home. Nathan primary election

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>results are in for four states across the country. Much

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>of the nation's focus was on the Democratic Senate race

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>in Maine, where with eighty percent of ballots counted, progressive

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>military veteran Graham plat is the winner with seventy two

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 2>percent of the vote. Governor Janet Mills suspended her campaign

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 2>in April due to lackluster fundraising, but she still picked

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>up nineteen and a half percent. Last night, Platner's campaign

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>was played by a series of scandals and accusations of

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 2>past misbehavior, and he alluded to it in his victory

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>speech last night.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 6>Every day I wake up and I try to be

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 6>a little bit better and a little bit kinder than

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 6>I was the day before. And if you give me

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 6>the chance, I will be a Senator for the people

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 6>who cannot afford to buy a senator.

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Gram Plattner will now go on to face Republicans sue

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>the Susan Collins. In November, she ran uncontested in her

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>bid for a sixth Senate term, Karen.

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 3>It was also a busy election night in South Carolina,

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 3>where the Republican governor's race is headed for a runoff.

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Lieutenant Governor Pamela Vett had President Trump's endorsement in the

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 3>five way field with ninety nine percent of votes counted.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Evett came in first with twenty eight point nine percent.

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 3>State Attorney General Alan Wilson is second with twenty six

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 3>point two per They'll face each.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 7>Other again in two weeks.

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Congressman Nancy Mace came in last place with twelve point

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 3>one percent after President Trump snubbed her with his endorsement,

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 3>but May says she has no regrets I'm voted to

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 3>release the EPC files and lost some support for that.

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 7>As a survivor, I chose to.

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Stand on principle and stand against the EPSTEIN cover up.

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Along with Nancy May's fellow congress member Ralph Norman failed

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 3>to make the cut. He was a strong supporter of

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 3>President Trump's first term, but endorsed NICKI Haley in the

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty four campaign.

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>In another key South Carolina race, Nathan Republican Senator Lindsey Graham,

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>avoids a runoff. He defeated conservative businessman Mark Lynch fifty

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>six point eight to twenty eight point nine percent. After

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>winning President Trump's early endorsement, grand Will faced Annie Andrews

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>in November. She won the Democratic primary with sixty one

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>and a half percent of the vote. Andrews ran unsuccessfully

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>against Nancy Mace for Congress in twenty twenty two, and

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>longtime Democratic Congressman Jim clyber and clinched his party's nomination

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 2>for an eighteenth term with more than ninety percent of

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the vote. After Republicans draw plans for a mid decade redistricting.

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 7>There were some other key races last night.

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 3>In Nevada, Karen and the governor's contest, State Attorney General

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.679
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Ford ran away with the Democratic nomination with nearly

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 3>sixty four percent of the vote. Ford will face Republican

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 3>incumbent Joe Lombardo in an election that's become a referendum

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 3>between President Trump's no tax on tips policy and a

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 3>slumping tourist economy. In Las Vegas and Reno, Lombardo won

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 3>his primary with almost ninety one percent of the vote.

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.479
<v Speaker 2>And in Nevada's second congressional District Nathan the Republican race

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>is still too close to call with eighty three percent

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 2>of votes counted. Trump backed military veteran David Flippo leads

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>former state Senator James Settlemeyer forty five point seven to

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty five point three percent. Retiring Congressman Mark M. Day

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Endure Settlemeyer to replace him.

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 3>And finally, in North Dakota, Karen Julie Fetterchak won the

0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 3>Republican primary for her state's only House district with seventy

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 3>three percent of the vote. Federchack will face Democrat Trigg

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 3>va Hammer in November.

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 7>He ran uncontested.

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Wenagan billionaire Bill Gates, who is set to appear behind

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>closed doors before the House panel investigating Jeffrey Epstein, and

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>now we're learning that Gates, who's getting help from the

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>former council for the committee and Bloomberg's Amy Moore supports

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 2>from Washington.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 8>The co founder of Microsoft, has reportedly been getting some

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 8>help from Jake Greenberg, who The New York Times says

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 8>was spearheading the Oversight Panel's Epstein inquiry until December. The

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 8>Gates Foundation, which has launched an external review of gates

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 8>ties with Epstein, told The Financial Times that it regretted

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 8>having any employees interact with Epstein in any way. Gates

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 8>has not been charged with anything. He has called his

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 8>relationship with Epstein a huge mistake and has denied any

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 8>wrongdoing in Washington. Amy Moore as Bloomberg Radio. Okaymie, thank you.

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 8>Let's turn to markets now. Futures are adding to yesterday's

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 8>declines on Wall Street. At one point, the tech heavy

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 8>Nasdaq one hundred index was down more than four percent.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 8>It paired those losses to close down one point one

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 8>percent this morning. The tech retreat is spreading to Asia.

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 8>South Korea's COSTPI index slid four and a half percent.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>We're just one day away from the highly anticipated IPO

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 2>of SpaceX. Bloomberg. John Tucker joins us with the very

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>latest John, good morning, Good morning Karen.

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 9>Demand for what's expected to be the largest ever IPO

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 9>is blasting off way over subscribed. It's around two hundred

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.719
<v Speaker 9>and fifty billion dollars. That's more than three times the

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 9>seventy five billion, but SpaceX is trying to raise. Multiple

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 9>institutional investors place orders for about ten billion dollars or

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 9>more of shares each banks leading the IPO. They're expected

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 9>to stop taking orders from institutional investors after the market

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 9>closes today. Now, mom and pop investors can still submit

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 9>orders for SpaceX shares on some platforms beyond tonight's deadline.

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 9>The company allocating as much as thirty percent of the

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 9>offering to retail. SpaceX's IPO center price tomorrow. It'll trade

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 9>on Friday in New York. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.159
<v Speaker 7>John. Thanks, Paramount Skuydances.

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 3>One hundred and ten billion dollar takeover of Warner Brothers

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Discovery is now in a review in the European Union

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 3>regulators there approbing the involvement of Middle Eastern funds in

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 3>the takeover. Scrutiny from the EU is one of the

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 3>last hurdles Paramount has to overcome after outmaneuvering rival suitor

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Netflix with multiple bids for warners over more than five months.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, Nathan, if it turns out you're not excited for

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>this week's World Cup, You're not alone. In a recent survey,

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 2>more than half of US adults said they are unlikely

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>to watch any of the games on TV. Only thirteen

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>percent said they were absolutely certain to watch. According to

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>a Morning Console poll conducted by Bloomberg, views on the tournament,

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>varied by age gen Z, whose oldest members are in

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>their late twenties, show the most enthusiasm. Baby boomers, now

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>in their sixties and seventies, displayed the least excitement. Three

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>quarters of them say they are not soccer fans, in

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 2>about half have never heard of star Lanel Messi. The

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 2>World Cup, which is co hosted by the US, Mexico,

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 2>and Canada, kicks off tomorrow. Time now for a look

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>at some of the other stories making news in New

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 2>York and around the world. And for that we're joined

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 2>by Bloomberg's Michael Barr. Michael, Good Morning, Good morning Karen.

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 10>Game four of the NBA Finals is tonight there will

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 10>be a watch party outside Madison Square Garden, but NYPD

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 10>officials will compy Monday night security perimeter and you'll need

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 10>a ticket. Meanwhile, MSG and the Knicks aren't happy with

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 10>police and the mayor, calling Commissioner Tish and Zora Memdani

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 10>party poopers. More on the game with John stash Hour

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 10>in a moment. Meanwhile, a Nick's watch party Monday night

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 10>at Brian Park turned violent. The NYPD arrested more than

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 10>twenty people. Residents in California face potential power outages later

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 10>this week as wins will increase wildfire risks. Bloomberg's Craig Allen.

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 11>The heat is beginning to intensify and expand across more

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 11>of the US, and this heat, the dry air, the

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 11>strong winds will be a major hazard in the planes, Rockies,

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 11>and especially in northern California. Red flag warnings cover these

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 11>regions and we're keeping a very close eye on the

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 11>potential danger in the Sacramento Valley about twenty to thirty

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 11>miles either side of I five. Heat advisories now have

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 11>also been posted in many counties could lose power intentionally

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 11>as PG and E shuts it down to prevent fires

<v Speaker 11>from overloaded transformers or winds knocking down the lines. Any

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.559
<v Speaker 11>spark or flames would spread very, very rapidly. The threat

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 11>for this may continue right through the rest of the week.

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 12>It doesn't deeply penetrate, but it still does that job.

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.200

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 7>This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning to Nathan Hager.

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 3>There are fresh tensions this morning in the Middle East,

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 3>with the US and Iran exchanging attacks after the downing

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 3>of the Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormus, and

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 3>US election seasons heating up with important primaries in Maine,

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 3>South Carolina, Nevada, and North Dakota. Joining us from more

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 3>on all this this morning is Terry Haynes, the founder

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 3>of Pangaea Policy. Great to speak with you as always, Terry.

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Want to start with what's happening in the Middle East.

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 3>We heard US Central Command say its response to the

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 3>downing of the Apache helicopter was proportional, but just this morning,

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 3>Iranian state media our reporting Tehran is going to reassess

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.079
<v Speaker 3>peace after the latest attacks.

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 7>Where do you see things at this point?

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 13>Good morning, Good morning, Nathan. A couple of things. One

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:13.959
<v Speaker 13>is that I think there is an increased likelihood, it's

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 13>certainly more than a trailing risk, that the United States

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 13>response is unlikely to remain proportionate. Frankly, because Iran isn't.

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 13>This is being covered in the United States press largely

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 13>as kind of a tit for tat, but Iran's been

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.959
<v Speaker 13>kind of disproportioned for quite some time. You'll recall a

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 13>couple of weeks ago there was an attack on a

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 13>nuclear reactor in the Emirates by Iran that the IAEA

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 13>says was more dangerous than attacking Zaparisha in Ukraine, and

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 13>is even warning of a possible nuclear event in the

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 13>Gulf region of the sort of kind. Iran now is

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 13>also saying that the Gulf States need to make a

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 13>moral choice to stop US and Israel. Moral is their work,

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 13>and what they're trying to do is present the specter

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 13>of destabilizing the Golf in a more fundamental way. Now.

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 13>I think the Golf already made the choice militarily and

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 13>economically to be kind of on the United States side.

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 13>But Iran's going to try to push this sort of

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 13>advantage that by itself seems to me to be a

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 13>dangerous escalation on their side that risks the United States,

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 13>making the response less proportional.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Up to now, the market has been able to look

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 3>past many of the developments in the Middle East and

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 3>focus on the Ai trade. Are you thinking that we're

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 3>getting to a point where the market needs to start

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 3>pricing in a prolonged conflict in the Middle East?

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 13>I think The answer is probably not certainly at this point.

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 13>But what I would warrant of is that there's going

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 13>to be a rising shot of more volatility than less.

0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 13>Markets think they have this pigeonholed. What I suggest today

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.559
<v Speaker 13>is that that confidence is misplaced.

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 7>I want to turn to the election results.

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Of course, a lot of the focus on the main

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Democratic Senate primary landslide win for Graham Platner, but maybe

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 3>not as big a landslide as was expected before some

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 3>of the scandal surface surrounding him.

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 7>What's your read on last night's result?

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 13>Well, a couple of things. One is I've been for

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 13>the last couple of weeks been non consensus that Republicans

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 13>are sixty percent likely to keep Congress in the fall.

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 13>I expect a lot of change in my view over

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 13>the next five months, and it's believe it or not,

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 13>it will be five months before this is resolved. You've

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 13>got progressive purists that are triumphing here. But beyond the

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 13>many platin or personal issues which are real and won't

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 13>go away, You've got purism, but be kind of an

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 13>inauthentic candidate. You've got pessimism instead of solutions. He's given

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 13>away a lot of the center in a state where

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 13>Collins is the ultimate centrist. And I note, you're right

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 13>to say he had a landslide, but Governor Mills got

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 13>twenty percent. She's not even a candidate anymore. The bigger

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 13>threat with Platner, and one reason why I'm at sixty

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 13>Gerrars is that you can nationalize that negative perception. It

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 13>won't just be Platner in Maine, it's tall Ico in Texas.

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 13>It might be a candidate in Michigan as well, and

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 13>the main Michigan candidates are both anti Israeli candidates. Plus

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 13>you've got the Bidens coming back the summer and fall

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 13>to remind everybody of what that was like. National Democrats

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 13>are already seeing a lot of this, starting to shy

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 13>away from Platner. And finally, I would note too that there,

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 13>you know, Wall Street's got rising concern about the potential

0:15:54.800 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 13>of waning influence from Senate Democratic leader Schumer. You know,

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 13>Mills with Schumer's candidate, not Platner, for example, And you know,

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 13>so this is this fight for the soul of the

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 13>Democratic Party is also a fight over its leadership, particularly

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 13>in the Senate, and particularly with a leader that's very

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 13>close to Wall Street.

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Just one minute left here, Terry, But I got to

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 3>get your take on the South Carolina Governor's race where

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 3>President Trump's endorsement led to a runoff now for Pamela

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Vett against Alan Wilson.

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 13>I think what you get here is you have two

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 13>establishment candidates, two establishments, you know, successful statewide run candidates

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 13>and lieutenant governor and the attorney general. So yeah, and

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 13>South Carolina has proved itself, as Nicky Haley can tell you,

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 13>to be very focused not only institutionally on the Republican Party,

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 13>but also focused very solidly to keep on the rights

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 13>to the proper side of Donald Trump. So you've got

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 13>kind of two Trump like candidates endorsed candidates. One at

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 13>least that's a candidate already. You notice the people that

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 13>the Trump disfavored are out.
