Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News. Good morning.

00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: stories we're following today. We begin in.

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, where the Kansas City Chiefs have won Super

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty eight.

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: There is a back to back Super Bowl champion.

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 4: Then it is the Kansas City Chiefs.

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: And that was the call for one oh six to

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: five FM in Kansas City. This is the Chief's third

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl title in five years and the third Super

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP for quarterback Pat Mahomes.

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 5: I think we just kept fighting.

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 6: I mean, at the end of the day, it wasn't

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 6: like we called a.

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: Lot of different plays.

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 5: We stayed within our offense, kind of like we did

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 5: all year long, and guys just continue to battle and

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 5: that was kind of our whole season.

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 7: Man.

20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: The Chiefs came back from behind after a slow first

21
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: half to tie the game with the San Francisco forty

22
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: nine ers and head into overtime. The Niners scored first

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: in ot with a field goal, but that left the

24
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: door open for a last minute touchdown drive from the

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs for a twenty five to twenty two victory. Stay tuned,

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: We're gona have more on Super Bowl fifty eight coming

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 1: up shortly in sports and Nathan.

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: Those on the East Coast who did stay up to

29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: watch the whole game could be waking up to the

30
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: prospect of winter weather today. It's not going to be

31
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: a major storm, but we could see snow hitting parts

32
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: of the East Coast later today. Bloomberg meteorologist Rob Carolyn

33
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: with more details.

34
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 8: The upcoming storm system. It's going to impact the northeastern

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 8: mid Atlantic as just straight rain. For the district in Baltimore,

36
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 8: it starts as rain late today and it ends tomorrow

37
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 8: morning is rain. New York City precipitation will start as

38
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 8: rain after midnight, but it changes the snow during tomorrow

39
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 8: morning and depending on exactly the track, while we could

40
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 8: end up with a sizeable snowfall, especially just north of

41
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 8: the city, six to ten inches. Right now, the city

42
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 8: looks like it could see two to four but if

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 8: the storm tracks further south, New York City may get

44
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 8: in on the heavier snow. Boston right now looks like

45
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 8: it gets the jackpot from this storm. Snow will arrive

46
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 8: by sunrise tomorrow morning in Boston. Boston area under a

47
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 8: winter storm morning on Tuesday, six to ten inches looks

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 8: likely for Boston. Some of the suburbs to the west

49
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 8: and just north and west of Boston could have as

50
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 8: much as a foot I'm Rob, Carolyn Bloomberg Radio.

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Rob, thank you.

52
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 5: Well.

53
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: Let's turn to the Middle East now, where Israel is

54
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: launching more strikes in Gaza, air strikes at the southern

55
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: city of Rafa, where more than a million people have

56
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: sought shelter from the war. These attacks come after President

57
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo not to take

58
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: action without a plan to keep civilian safe. It is

59
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: a concern net on Yahoo addressed in an interview with

60
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: ABC's Jonathan carl.

61
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 6: Well, Rafa is a very small percentage of Gaza, and

62
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 6: I think it's about ten percent or fifteen percent, I

63
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 6: mean the estimates. And with that area north of Gaza

64
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 6: that has already been cleared, well there.

65
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: There's an estimate one point four million people in that

66
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 5: area right now. And if they can't just disappear, where

67
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 5: are they supposed to go?

68
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 6: No, Well, the areas that we've cleared north of Ralfa

69
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 6: are plenty of areas there, but we're working out a

70
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 6: detailed plan to do so.

71
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: In Prime Minister Natanya, who spoke as Iron's foreign minister,

72
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: says the Israel Hamas conflict could be moving closer to

73
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: a diplomatic solution. He's held tux in Beirut about the

74
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: potential release of Israeli hostages. Separately, Israel says it did

75
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: rescue two hostages from captivity in Rafa.

76
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: Meantime, remarks from Donald Trump are causing a dust up

77
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: in the international community. The former president claims he wants

78
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: He once threatened to let Russia invade a NATO member

79
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: if they didn't pay their fair share to the Alliance.

80
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: One of the presidents of a big country stood up said, well, sir,

81
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia, will.

82
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: You protect us.

83
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: I said, you didn't pay, You're delinquent. You said yes,

84
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you.

85
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the

86
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: hell they want.

87
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: You gotta pay.

88
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: The idea that former President Trump would allow NATO members

89
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: to be invaded is sparking somewhat of a political storm.

90
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: Democrats condemning the remarks. Republicans like Lindsay Graham and Marco

91
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: Ruby are defending Trump's rhetoric.

92
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: And meantime amy former President Trump continues to poll well

93
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: with US voters. New data from the Financial Times show

94
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: americans trust him over President Biden when it comes to

95
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: the economy. We get the story from Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman.

96
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 9: A Financial Time survey shows that GOP presidential front runner

97
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 9: Donald Trump leads President Biden by eleven points when it

98
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 9: comes to the economy. Forty two percent of Americans say

99
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 9: they feel Trump would be the better steward for the economy,

100
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 9: while thirty one percent say Biden, with twenty one percent

101
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 9: saying they don't trust either candidate. Trump Strong's showing comes

102
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 9: despite voters reporting some improvements in their own financial situations

103
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 9: and optimism regarding the economy. I'm Dan Schwartzman, Bloomberg Radio.

104
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Dan, and speaking of the economy,

105
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: we have some significant data on tap for US markets

106
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: this week. Figures on inflation and the health of consumers

107
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 2: will likely play a role in sentiment this week. Bloomberg

108
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: Steve Potus with more from Washington.

109
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: Tomorrow is the highlight for data this week, with inflation

110
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: readings for January. Do out economists, consumer prices rose two

111
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: tenths of a percent from the prior month, for an

112
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: annual inflation reading of two point nine percent. Strip out

113
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: food and energy and the numbers are a little less rosy,

114
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: resulting in a core CPI reading of three point seven percent.

115
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: Then on Thursday, the government issues figures on retail sales.

116
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 3: Economists to expect US slump in January, with retail sales falling.

117
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: On Friday, look for data on producer prices. They are

118
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: expected to show a moderate monthly increase of just one

119
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: tenth of a percent. In Washington, I'm Steve Podisk, Bloomberg Radio.

120
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, thanks, turning to company news, we may

121
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: have a big tie up in the energy industry. Bloomberg

122
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: News has learned Diamondback Energy and Endeavor Energy Resources are

123
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: in final discussions on a deal. The combination of the

124
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: two companies would result in an oil and gas giant

125
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: worth more than fifty billion dollars. We're told a deal

126
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: could be announced as soon as today.

127
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, Nathan. In time now for a look at

128
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: some of the other stories making news around the world,

129
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: and for that we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker.

130
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: Good morning, John.

131
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 10: Amy, Good morning, terrifying moments inside celebrity pastor Joel Ostein's

132
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 10: Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas Sunday, but a woman opened

133
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 10: fire with a rifle, sending worshippers running for safety to

134
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 10: off duty police officers confronted and killed the shooter. Two

135
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 10: other people were shot and injured, including a five year

136
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 10: old boy who is with the shooter and is now

137
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 10: in critical condition. Pastor Ostein joined police at a new

138
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 10: conference later, if there's.

139
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 5: Anything good of it, you know what, She didn't get

140
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 5: in there and do.

141
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 11: A whole lot worse damage.

142
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 7: So we thank God for that, and he's watching over

143
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 7: all of us.

144
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 10: Lakewood Churches among the largest congregations in the US. Defense

145
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 10: Secretary Lloyd Austin was admitted into critical care late Sunday

146
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 10: after being hospitalized for the second time of the month.

147
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 10: Let's get more from Bloomberg's Jeff Bellinger.

148
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 11: The Pentagon says Austin's security detail brought the Secretary to

149
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 11: Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington with symptoms

150
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 11: suggesting an emergent bladder issue. The fresh health scare comes

151
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 11: weeks after Austin provoked an uproar for failing to disclose

152
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 11: for several days that he had been hospitalized on New

153
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 11: Year's Day. At that time, he was in the hospital

154
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 11: for treatment of complications from prostate cancer. The Pentagon chief

155
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 11: has transferred the functions and duties of his office to

156
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 11: Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks. Austin is seventy years old.

157
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 11: Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg Radio.

158
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 10: In hopes of connecting with younger voters, the Biden campaign

159
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 10: joined TikTok last night, its first video featuring President Biden

Speaker 5: Super Bowl fifty eight in Las Vegas started slowly as

182
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,559

Speaker 5: the only touchdown score in the game over the first

186
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,560

187
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160

189
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 5: Rock Perty touchdown pass that went two Jennings. The point

190
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,240

192
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,800

Speaker 3: To settle for a Moody field goal.

198
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 5: So the Chiefs would win it with a touchdown, and

199
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 5: they went seventy five yards in thirteen plays.

200
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,760

Speaker 12: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager.

218
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: Israel has carried out more air strikes on what it

219
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: says is Hamas's last remaining stronghold in Gaza, the southern

220
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: city of Rafa, near the Egyptian border. And this assault

221
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: comes hours after President Biden held his first call with

222
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin NATANYAHUO in weeks, urging him to come

223
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: up with a credible plan to protect the more than

224
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: a million people who have sought refuge in Rafa. For

225
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: the latest we're joined by Bloomberg News Israel Bureau chief

226
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: Ean Brauner in Tel Aviv, Ethan. What do we know

227
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: about these latest strikes?

228
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 7: Well, I think you summarized it well and Nathan, they

229
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 7: you know, the Israeli say that when they have particular targets,

230
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 7: even if there are people living nearby, they go after them,

231
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 7: and that's what they did. In this particular case. It

232
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 7: was combined with a special op that ended up rescuing

233
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 7: two hostages who were held on the second floor of

234
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 7: a building in the center of Ropoff. That happened at

235
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 7: around one or two in the morning local time. The

236
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 7: Israeli say that they killed the three guys who were

237
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 7: holding them hostage and rescued these two men, one who

238
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 7: was around sixty one, around seventy, who came from key

239
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 7: Boots and were captured on the seventh of October along

240
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 7: with all the other people. So that was there certainly

241
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 7: a big accomplishment from their perspective. The bigger issue is

242
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 7: that you have, as you said, more than a million,

243
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 7: maybe one point three million people holding on by their

244
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 7: fingernails under tents and things around Rafa, and the Israeli

245
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 7: say that that's now their next target, and they say

246
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 7: they won't go in in a big way until they

247
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 7: move people out, but we don't know what that means

248
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 7: are where these people will go.

249
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and even before this latest assault, before the call

250
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: that we're led to understand that President Biden had with

251
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netan Yahoo, the Prime Minister was on at

252
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: least two of the Sunday political shows here in the

253
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: US saying that they were working on a plan to

254
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: protect civilians. Do we know anything about this plan that

255
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: the Israeli government's working on.

256
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 7: They have it, I don't know too much about it.

257
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 7: Every time we ask, they say we're working on it.

258
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 7: They've only been talking about it for a few days.

259
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 7: The basic plan seems to be some kind of a

260
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 7: humanitarian corridor that would allow people who escape Ran Junez

261
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 7: Darryl Balach and maybe I don't think they're going to

262
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 7: let them go to the north beyond Wadi Aza, to

263
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 7: go back to god City. But in theory they're talking

264
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 7: about areas to the north of Rafa that they could

265
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 7: go back to. That the Israelis are not in the

266
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 7: process of attacking. But you know, there's been so much destroyed,

267
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 7: and the people who are seeking refuge already in Rafa,

268
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 7: so many are wounded and so many are hungry, that

269
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 7: it is really a kind of unimaginable challenge to move

270
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 7: huge numbers of them out in a way that they

271
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 7: would actually be safe. But I mean, I'm not there,

272
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 7: and that's what the Israelis say they're going to do.

273
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 6: Now.

274
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: From the images we've seen, it's difficult to imagine where

275
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: in Gaza. The more than a million people who have

276
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: crammed into Raffa could go given the images that we've

277
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: seen of devastation in so much of Gaza. From what

278
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: we can understand, ethan, where can Palestinians who are in

279
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: Gaza go? At this point, you.

280
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 7: Know, I'm not certain. The Prime Minister referred to an

281
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 7: area north of Roufaf, directly north of Rafaff that he

282
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 7: said would be safe and is available. It is also

283
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 7: possible that parts of Khanyunis, where they are in the

284
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 7: process of finishing up a several week operation, that they

285
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 7: would then remove themselves from Hanunis. I don't know that

286
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 7: all the buildings are destroyed. I think northern Gaza is

287
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 7: more destroyed than central Gaza. But look, these are good questions,

288
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 7: and some kind of temporary housing would have to be

289
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 7: found for them. The whole situation is very, very alarming.

290
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 7: We know that there are nearly there are some twenty

291
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 7: eight thousand people who already dead. There's some tens of

292
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 7: thousands who are injured and wounded. So you're right to

293
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 7: ask the question, and I don't have an answer for you.

294
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: One other comment that stood out from Prime Minister Natanyahu's

295
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: remarks on the Sunday shows he's saying that victory against

296
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: Hamas is within reach and our last thirty seconds ethan,

297
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: do we have a better sense the Israeli government of

298
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: how they perceive victory looking like against tom osk Yes, I.

299
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 7: Think it's I mean victory. Victory is a little hard

300
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 7: to describe. But what they are saying, what the military

301
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 7: is saying, is that in the last few weeks they

302
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 7: were able to operate in Kanunis in a way they

303
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 7: hadn't been able to operate in the North of God.

304
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 7: So they're able to go into the tunnels. They have

305
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 7: these robot dogs and they have these sort of bowling

306
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 7: ball things that go in as well. That they feel

307
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 7: they've been able to actually take over areas that they

308
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 7: thought they wouldn't be able to. They have an enormous

309
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 7: amount of intel now and they're questioning a lot of

310
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 7: guys they've captured, and they think they can win this

311
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 7: war and destroy Hamas. That's what they're saying.
