6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the geopoliticis coming out of the

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: Middle East. The Syrian president Bashar Assad is now in

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: Moscow after rebel forces took control of Damascus over the weekend,

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 3: ending nearly a century of his family's rule. His toppling

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: is sending shockwaves throughout the Middle East and will be

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: a major blow to Russia in Iran, President Joe Biden

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: hailed Usad's fall in an address to the nation on Sunday,

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: and take a listen.

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: It's a moment of historic opportunity the long suffering people

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 4: of Syria to build a better future for the proud country.

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 4: It's also a moment of risk and uncertainty as we

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 4: all turn into question of what comes next.

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: All right, that was President Biden with some comments Sunday

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: regarding what's happening in Syria. Let's get some more analysis

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: on this unfolding situation. Aaron David Miller, Senior Fellow at

21
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: the Carnegie Dowmon for International Peace, joins us from Washington,

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: DC via zoom. Aaron, thanks so much for joining us here.

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: Do we have any idea who's in charge over.

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: There in Sirius in Syria?

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: Well, right now, it's thanks for having me. Right now,

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 5: it's Ahmadshara. Who's nam Da gary Ka, also known as

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 5: Abu Muhammadani al Jiulani, born in Saudi parents were originally

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 5: from the Golan Heights, which is why he took the

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: name Algulani. Formerly associated with both the Islamic STATEA and

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 5: Ol Kaida, He's evolved over the last five or six years,

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 5: running the province of Ibleb relatively inclusively, reaching out to

32
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: Kurds and to the Druis. You know, it's hard to know.

33
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 5: Rebelling is hard, Governing is frankly a lot harder. And

34
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 5: the track record here for overthrowing Arab authoritarians is not

35
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 5: terribly uplifting. Egypt, the Bark's gone, a more repressive authoritarian

36
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: military government replaced him. Tunisia ben Ali aspiring democracy and

37
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 5: now an authoritarian government. Saddam Hussein Iraq's pretty dysfunctional. A

38
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 5: lot of disappointments there. Yemen Abdala salav overthrown. The Huthis

39
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 5: are in charge of much of the country. Siria may

40
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 5: have a better chance. Headlines appear to be pretty good,

41
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 5: not a lot of repression and retribution. Yet Glani's thinking

42
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 5: as singing a pretty moderate tune invited the international press

43
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 5: in sending signals to the Alowi community in Latakia that

44
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 5: not interested in retribution. I guess, guys, the question will

45
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: be power sharing. It'll be power sharing, and it'll be

46
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 5: whether or not the Islamic principles and strictures of these

47
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 5: Asunni political Islamics can be reconciled a with the largely

48
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 5: traditional secular Syrian elite, and whether or not, you know

49
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: you can govern. Syria is broke, heavily indebted to the iraniance.

50
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 5: Oil industry is muddled to two and a half billion

51
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 5: barrels a day. It pales before the larger producers, so

52
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 5: it's going to be a real heavy lift.

53
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 6: Syria borders what Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and also Turkey.

54
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 6: Does the response by one dictate the response overall by

55
00:03:59,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 6: the others?

56
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's been the playground for external intervention

57
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 5: since the beginning of the Civil War. The Turks have

58
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: had a huge role to play, as you pointed out,

59
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 5: Iran Isabella, and of course Russia doesn't share contiguous borders,

60
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 5: but was the key broker and savior redeemer of the

61
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 5: outside regime when it was challenged in twenty fifteen. I

62
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 5: think that the prospects for external intervention is still there,

63
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 5: and by the way, the Israelis need to be definitely

64
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 5: put into the mix. Prospects or external invention are there,

65
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 5: but the real troublemakers the Iranians, I would argue the

66
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 5: Russians Isabella. They've been set back. There's more agency now

67
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 5: for Syrians to function and focus on Syria than at

68
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 5: any time in the last decade or so. The Turks

69
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 5: are now the big boys on the proverbial block, and

70
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 5: their motives are mixed here, but they will be the

71
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 5: great power, the regional power to watch.

72
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 3: All right, eron, Thank you so much for joining us,

73
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: Aaron David Miller, he's a senior fellow at the Carnegian

74
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: Dowmond for International piece joining us from Washington, DC. And

75
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: you know, one of the questions I have ongoing will

76
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: be what role with any will the US play and

77
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: how this thing develops, and we.

78
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 6: Did mention we will for the flow of refugees, which

79
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 6: from Syria has kind of shaped the political landscape.

80
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: Of Europe yep. And I'm just kind of seeing some

81
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: of the reporting today. You know, two and a half

82
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: million of refugees have gone to Turkey and some three

83
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: million to your point, John, So again a fluid situation

84
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: over there.

85
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: Will keep up with the reporting.

Speaker 2: Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty.

91
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: Let's refocus on what is happening on the geopolitical front,

92
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: because clearly front and center for many investors, particularly what's

93
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: happening in Syria over the last several days. Kirsten Fontin

94
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: Rose joins US. She's a president of Red six Internationals.

95
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: She's also a Senior Fellow at the Atlanta Council and

96
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: was a senior director for the Middle East and the

97
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: last US administration. Kirsten, what's happening in the Middle East

98
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: and why is that happening now?

99
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 7: It's an interesting confluence of potentially unrelated events in the

100
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 7: Middle East that is all leading to things like Iranian

101
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 7: foreign policy imploding Russia's model of taking fringe groups from

102
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 7: zero to hero, imploding Israel's ability to potentially uproot the

103
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 7: threats it faces from several fronts increasing So we're Turkey's

104
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 7: diplomatic efforts that looked a little precarious beginning to pay off.

105
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 7: So there are a whole lot of effects coming out

106
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 7: of these potential unrelated events. In terms of things like

107
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 7: Iran's implosion. They've spent years arming other militaries and militias

108
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 7: to antagonize their adversaries, and now each of these is

109
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 7: being decapitated except for the Houthis in Yemen, and so

110
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 7: Iran is going to be forced to update its foreign policy,

111
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 7: and we should be watching them for the choices they make.

112
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 7: For instance, will it double down on its militia model

113
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 7: and press its malicious in Iraq to stage work frequent attacks,

114
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 7: or is it going to build up the hooth these

115
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 7: capabilities in Yemen to interrupt shipping in the Red Sea,

116
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 7: perhaps even beyond the Red Sea to waters farther.

117
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 8: Northwest or south. Or is it going to.

118
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 7: Offer more support to groups like the Polisario in the

119
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 7: North Africa that it is supported before, or will it

120
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 7: completely flip flip the text on this and rush to

121
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 7: complete its fighter jet purses from Russia out of fear

122
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 7: that Israel may choose to hit them while they're down,

123
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 7: which is a realistic fear.

124
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 8: Again, we could see that it might.

125
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 7: Even be easier for Iran and the U to reach

126
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 7: a nuclear agreement now since one of the key sticking

127
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 7: points was the activity of Iran's militias that are now crippled.

128
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 7: So what'll we be watching to see how Iran plays this.

129
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 7: All we know so far is that it is confirmed

130
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 7: through foreign ministry statements that the supply route with which

131
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 7: it supplies weapons to Hibaala through Syria has been severed.

132
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 8: So this is to Israel's.

133
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 7: Advantage, and the Syrian foreign minister was part I'm sorry.

134
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 7: The Iranian foreign minister was part of a meeting in

135
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 7: Doha last Saturday in which several Arab foreign ministers joined him,

136
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 7: and they issued a joint statement calling for a ceasefire

137
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 7: and for a political solution in Iran. So it's interesting

138
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 7: to watch Iran now try to be part of a

139
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 7: solution instead of remaining part of the problem for all

140
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 7: the Syrians who are celebrating in the streets.

141
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 6: Was the murderous Assad regime ever a stabilizing factor in

142
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 6: that part of the world, And how do we gauge

143
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 6: whether or not the country has gone from the frying

144
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 6: pan into the fire.

145
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 7: To a certain extent, You're right, the Asad regime was

146
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 7: stabilizing only in the sense that it was predictable, and

147
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 7: many of the countries, including Golf States and Israel, at

148
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 7: some points, thought it was better to deal with the

149
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 7: devil they knew than deal with an unknown devil who

150
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 7: would potentially be an Islamist Jihada state as we may

151
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 7: be looking at now. So that fear led many of

152
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 7: them to think, if we can keep him in place,

153
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 7: we at least know what his redlines are, what his

154
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 7: capabilities are, and we don't see him making active moves

155
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 7: against any of us. He is simply enabling things that

156
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 7: threaten us, like housing Husbalah if you're Israel, or like

157
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 7: enabling the Captigone trade if you're the Golf or.

158
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: Jordan so Kirson, what role do you believe the US

159
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: should play, will play, if any, in Syria?

160
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 7: Well, right now we're watching the US administration really engage

161
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 7: in some diplomacy, trying to understand who the players are

162
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 7: and wanting to stay stay involved and up to date,

163
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 7: really urging for ceasefires, urging for things like humanitarian assistance

164
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 7: to continue to Syria.

165
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 8: The Donald Trump team has made it clear that they

166
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 8: don't do not think there's a.

167
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 7: US interest involved in getting engaged in this conflict right now,

168
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 7: They want to watch it play out. They are making

169
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 7: statements about Israel's right to definitely defend itself during all

170
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 7: of this against whatever may come, and they are making

171
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 7: statements about how this disavows Russia's promises to the region

172
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 7: that it is a strong security partner.

173
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 8: So you are seeing them way in on how they're

174
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 8: reading the.

175
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 7: Tea leaves, but not making any promises on a role

176
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 7: the US would play.

177
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 6: Does Israel use this now as the opportunity to address

178
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 6: all their security concerns as it related to the north

179
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 6: of the border.

180
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 8: That is the big question, It sure could.

181
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 7: The question that everyone is holding their breath on is

182
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 7: what will Israel do. We are already watching them this

183
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 7: week strike chemical weapons sites and stores of long range

184
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 7: missiles inside Syria to prevent either Iran back militias, Russia

185
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 7: or frankly unknown factions of HTS from taking possession of those.

186
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 7: And it's striking air defense radars, anti aircraft batteries, and

187
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 7: military aircraft on the ground in Syria as well to

188
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 7: ensure that the Israel can continue its operations to erase

189
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 7: weapons stockpiles that could threaten Israel in the future if

190
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 7: it did fall into these hands. And note also that

191
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 7: this would give them a clear path to fly over

192
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 7: Syrian airspace en route to Iran if desired. But we

193
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 7: could also see Israel choose a path where they work

194
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 7: with a new government in Syria to potentially establish peace

195
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 7: along their shared border. In fact, they may have already

196
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 7: made an overture to President Asad in Syria just before

197
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 7: his ouster, offering to encourage the US to throttle back

198
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 7: sanctions against him in exchange for him helping to halt

199
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 7: the flow of weapons from Iran to Hsbala through Syria.

200
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 7: And there's a hinge ready of the possibility that Israel

201
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 7: could also now reach out to HTS or the developing

202
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 7: transitional government inside Syria and in that the indication is

203
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 7: that HTS has deconflicted its operations near the Israeli border

204
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 7: in areas like Kunetra with the Israelis. So could this

205
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 7: paveaway for that border to quiet down and for peace there.

206
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 8: To be cemented.

207
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 7: Israel is logically concerned about Syria falling into the hands

208
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 7: of Islamist extremists and would not feel any peace was

209
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 7: secure as long as that ideology ruled Syria.

210
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 8: But peace on that border in the near to midterm.

211
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 7: Would definitely allow them to focus on things they need

212
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 7: to finish with Hamas and Husball up.

213
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: Hey, Kirsten, just about thirty seconds left. How big of

214
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: a blow is the fall of this Assad regime to

215
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: President Putin and Russia?

216
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 7: So the blow is that the Russian model is to

217
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 7: support unpopular dictators across the globe to gain access and

218
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 7: concessions to valuable resources in their countries. Syria was an example,

219
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 7: so or Niger, Mali, Burkina, Fosso, Central African Republic, and

220
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 7: Russia has relied on its air base in Syria to

221
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 7: fly people in and extracted gold.

222
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 8: And other minerals out.

223
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 7: So it's been more than even just the relationship with Syria,

224
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 7: and it's access to that naval base in Tartuose that

225
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 7: puts it so close to NATO and on the med

226
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 7: But now their operations in Africa and other places are

227
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 7: curtailed because of their reliance on that air base in Syria.

228
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 8: So to what extent in the long term this.

229
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 7: Will be curtailed depends on the relationship it develops and

230
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 7: the deal it strikes for use of the airbase by

231
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 7: whatever government is stood up in Syria. We also now

232
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 7: see Turkey saying it will not allow Russian vessels to

233
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 7: pass through the dark kneills until.

234
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 8: Russia makes peace with Ukraine.

235
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 7: So the fall in Syria is also impacting Russia's ability

236
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 7: to wage war in Ukraine.

237
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: All right, Kirsten, thank you so much for joining us.

238

239

Speaker 3: latest on a continuing developing story in Syria and in

240
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: the Greater Middle East. I guess the one constant is turmoil.

241
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 3: It seems uncertainty change in that part of the world,

242
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 3: and we'll keep an eye on that.

251
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: m and a nice busy Monday. I like that Mandalize

252
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: said Tamola takeover us chocolate maker Hershey, this is gonna

253
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: be a big deal.

254
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean Hers, She's got a market cap.

255
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: Have like forty billion, another ten billion of debt, so

256
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: fifty billion of market for enterprise value. Jen Bartasha, she

257
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: covers as part of the world for Bloomberg Intelligence on

258
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: the retail side. Hey Jen, why is Mandalize considering this

259
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: deal for Hershey?

260
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: Hi, Paul.

261
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 9: So really, when we look at the deal, it's about

262
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 9: how are they going to prop up sales? How are

263
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 9: they going to continue to grow share? And they've been

264
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 9: very open that tacking on to their portfolio is one

265
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 9: of the methods that they do in order to really

266
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 9: continue to grow as a company. But this is a

267
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 9: big deal and so it would have to be really

268
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 9: it's really considered a transformational deal at this size.

269
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 6: Can you explain to everybody this mysterious entity known as

270
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 6: the Hershey Trust and how they can have to cooperate

271
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 6: in this?

272
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 9: Absolutely? So, Hershey is you know, has a long history,

273
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 9: and you know about eighty percent of their shares they

274
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 9: have a dual clust share structure, and about eighty percent

275
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 9: of voting shares are held by the Hershey Trust, which

276
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 9: means that they have to approve any kind of deal.

277
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 9: And this is really just because Hershey as a company

278
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 9: is that Hershey Trust uses money from Hershey in order

279
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 9: to support charities, right, and so the approval of the

280
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 9: trust is required. But in addition to that, Pennsylvania law

281
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 9: also requires that the Office of the Attorney General be

282
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 9: provided with notice of a deal, and that office has

283
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 9: the ability to stop a transaction if they think that

284
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 9: the fiduciary obligations of the trust will not be met.

285
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 9: So there are a lot of steps structurally in place

286
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 9: that could make such a takeover of Hershey really difficult.

287
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: All right, what does our anti trust analyst, Jennifer Ree,

288
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: what does she say about this deal with the DOJ,

289
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: the FTC and all the regulars DC, will they allow

290
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: this deal to go through?

291
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 9: Well, that's the other that's the next stumbling block. You know,

292
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 9: the FTC has been really reticent with regards to big deals,

293
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 9: especially in the last two years. When you look at

294
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 9: market share, which is really one of the things that

295
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 9: their decision would hinge off of. Hershey has has over

296
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 9: thirty seven percent of the US market share and Chocolate

297
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 9: Mandal's has just under two percent, So again you're not

298
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 9: combining two huge market shares, but together it would it

299
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 9: would continue to be the largest market share in the

300
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 9: United States, and that is higher than what Mars has

301
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 9: as well.

302
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 6: They trying to do this before Ray they did.

303
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 9: They tried this in twenty sixteen, and back in twenty sixteen,

304
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 9: the enterprise value of Her She was only twenty five billion.

305
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 9: Today it's, as Paul said at the opening, you know,

306
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 9: closer to fifty billion. So you know it's they walked

307
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 9: away last time because they weren't able to get all

308
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 9: of the approvals in place, and the cost wasn't they

309
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 9: weren't able to offer the premium that her She was

310
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 9: looking for. So there are a lot of questions of

311
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 9: whether this deal would actually go through and if an

312
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 9: offer could be made that would be tempting enough for Hershey.

313
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 3: All right, Jen, thanks so much for joining us at

314
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: Jen Bartasha. She covers all the retail stuff for Bloomberg Intelligence.

315
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: Give's some thoughts on this deal, Mondo Liz taking a

316
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: look at Hershe system.

317
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 6: I'm thinking chocolate covered maccheese.

318
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Sure, why not? That could be a new thing. You

319
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: got a product extension, you know.

320
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 3: I pitched the Hershey Trust a billion times a sell

321
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: and it got nowhere.

322
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: So I'll be intering to see who and you had

323
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: it in finally get Yeah, who finally gets paid.

Speaker 1: More newsflow Here today, we're going to stay on top

330
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: of it.

331
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 3: A marine veteran who used a chokehold on an agitated

332
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: subway rider was acquitted Monday in a death that became

333
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: a prison for differing views about public safety, valor, and vigilanteism.

334
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: Let's break it down.

335
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 3: We have Miles Miller joining us here, a Bloomberg's managing

336
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: editor here in our studio.

337
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: Miles, what's going on here? Give us a background of

338
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: the story.

339
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, so this goes back to May one, twenty twenty three.

340
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 10: Jordan Neely and Michael Jackson, impersonator is on a train

341
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 10: and he's begging for money. And it starts out with

342
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 10: just begging for money and then it turns into something

343
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 10: which Daniel Penny, a former marine, found threatening. He decided

344
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 10: to a place nearly in a chokehold to restrain him

345
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 10: and it wound up taking his life. Now, you know,

346
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 10: in covering, you know what happened after that. He you know,

347
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 10: obviously there was a video of it and all of that.

348
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 10: He didn't initially get charged. He then was charged days

349
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 10: later after protests. And when he was charged, he was

350
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 10: charged with initially manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. Now manslaughter

351
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 10: and criminally negligent homicide. So what happened on Friday is

352
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 10: that the jury told the judge that they were hopelessly

353
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 10: deadlocked and could not come to an agreement on that

354
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 10: tougher charge being guilty of manslaughter.

355
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 6: And boy did this touch of nerve. I mean, just

356
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 6: walking in midtown yesterday, the number of free Penny stickers

357
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 6: on lampposts elsewhere. Being in the subway confronted by someone

358
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 6: who may be mentally unstable, the threat there as a

359
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 6: subway rider, as an individual, it just enhanced by that atmosphere.

360
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, and the jurors ultimately decided today that his actions

361
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 10: weren't criminal when he held Jordan Neely in that choke

362
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 10: hold to prevent what he thought would be danger to

363
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 10: other people in that car. The jurors came to that

364
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 10: decision this morning. He was acquitted, and there were cheers

365
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 10: outside of the court. There are people there in support

366
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 10: and in protest to him. In fact, Jordan Neely's father

367
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 10: was inside the courtroom shouted, had to be removed by

368
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 10: court officers.

369
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 6: How much of this, in your opinion, sort of mirrors

370
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 6: We have to go pretty far back. But the subway

371
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 6: vigilantic case in the form of Bernie Getz.

372
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I was in the courtroom the day

373
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 10: that Daniel Penny was brought in the day he was

374
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 10: let out of the Fifth Precinct, and that comparison had

375
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 10: been made by so many legal scholars, and it would

376
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 10: appear again today that you know that this was a

377
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 10: determination by these jurors that in fact, this was a

378
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 10: case of a person trying to step into help and

379
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 10: they felt that he was just trying to help and

380
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 10: he didn't mean to take this person's life, and drawing

381
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 10: obviously comparison, Sabernie gots so.

382
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: This case, this, according to the eightp the case amplified

383
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: many American fault lines, among them race, politics, crime, urban life,

384
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 3: mental illness, and homelessness. Mister Neely was black, mister Penny

385
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: is white. Did the judge even acknowledge that type of stuffer?

386
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 3: Is they trying to really stay here?

387
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 10: You know, they stayed to the merits of this case.

388
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 10: I think that, you know, obviously outside the courtroom and

389
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 10: the windows were open in the courtroom today and throughout

390
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 10: the trial inside the courtroom, you could hear the chance

391
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 10: of people who were on both sides of the divide here.

392
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 10: And in fact, they called for a mistrial today, the

393
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 10: defense team because they said that was going to you know,

394
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 10: that was going to make sure the jury wasn't impartial,

395
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 10: and it they actually turned out the other way. The

396
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 10: jury found that in this case, Daniel Penny did not

397
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 10: mean to do this. And it's actually it's really interesting

398
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 10: because there was a case just like this in Brooklyn.

399
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 10: Another guy was threatening people on the train. This other

400
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 10: guy went up to him, confronted him, and the Brooklyn

401
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 10: DA said, there's no case here. This was a guy

402
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 10: who was trying to do the right thing. The guy

403
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 10: wound up dying, and you know, it drew parallel to

404
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 10: this case. The only thing is in both the race

405
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 10: of both of those people who were the same in Brooklyn,

406
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 10: in this case it was different, and it was obviously

407
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 10: a charge environment.

408
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 6: Well what was the makeup of the jury here? And

409
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 6: did they all say they were frequent users of the subway?

410
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 10: You know, I looked at a sketch, you know, I

411
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 10: looked at the sketch of the jurors and it was

412
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 10: a it was a mix of New York City and

413
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 10: you know, they questioned, do people, you know in their

414
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 10: wardier process, do you take the subway? Do you know

415
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 10: anything about this case? It's kind of impossible to find

416
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 10: a jury that didn't know anything about this case because

417
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 10: it was a fever pitch when this happened.

418
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 6: So we pivot real quick and get the update on

419
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 6: the United Health Group executive Brian Thompson his murder in Midtown.

420
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

421
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 10: So this morning in Altuna, Pennsylvania, police there held a

422
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 10: man for questioning a connection with this shooting. The man

423
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 10: was in a McDonald's in Altuna, Pennsylvania for some reason.

424
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 10: I think he was trying to pay for something at

425
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 10: that McDonald's and had to show an ID. He had

426
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 10: multiple fake IDs. People at that McDonald's called local police.

427
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 10: When they called, and they and they came. They found

428
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 10: that this man had multiple identifications and a gun with

429
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 10: a suppressor on him. Police from the NYPD are headed

430
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 10: to Altuna, Pennsylvania right now. It would make sense that

431
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 10: this person who's being questioned could be the same person, because,

432
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 10: of course they believe he took a bus out of

433
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 10: the bus terminal in Washington Heights. One of the roots

434
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 10: that you can do is go to Pennsylvania. They had

435
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 10: been searching all weekend for the gun, and if this

436
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 10: is correct, if police are able to boil this out,

437
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 10: it would appear that that gun wasn't in Central Park,

438
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 10: but rather on him of course, his weekend. They found

439
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 10: a book bag they believe linked to him and some

440
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 10: other evidence, but they had not been able to find

441
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 10: definitive DNA leading them to the suspect.

442
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,000
