Tensions in the Middle East 243 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 3: running higher than ever after Iran's barrage of ballistic missile 244 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 3: attacks against Israel. Speaking through an interpreter, Israeli Prime Minister 245 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 3: Benjamin Natan Yahoo is promising to retaliate. 246 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 6: The regime in Iran does not. 247 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 8: Understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to 248 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 8: taliate against our enemies. 249 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 3: For the very latest with us from Tel Aviv is 250 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: Bloomberg News Israel Bureau chief Ethan Bronner Ethan, good morning. 251 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 3: First off, do we have a sense of the impact 252 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 3: of Iran's attack yesterday. Obviously it was much bigger than 253 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: what we saw back in April, So. 254 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 17: The attack was much bigger, Nathan, And indeed the impact 255 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 17: was bigger, but it still was relatively limited. We're still 256 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 17: gathering what we can figure out about. There seemed to 257 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 17: have been some apartments damage to north of Tel Aviv. 258 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 17: There was a restaurant damaged. There was one man killed 259 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 17: in the West Bank of Palestinian but we're I'm unaware 260 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 17: of any other deaths or any very serious damage from 261 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 17: this attack. But they you know, these missiles got through 262 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 17: some of the air defense systems and it was a 263 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 17: much more punishing attack. This was this was two hundred 264 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 17: or so missiles compared to what it was in where 265 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 17: there were three hundred in April. But they but this 266 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 17: time they were all ballistic missiles, so they were much 267 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 17: more dangerous. 268 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 3: At the same time, we did hear from the White 269 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 3: House that really President Biden said that the attack appeared 270 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: to have been defeated and ineffective. At the same time 271 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: as we just heard Israeli Prime Minister Netsan yahoo Is 272 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 3: vowing retaliation. What kind of response could we see could 273 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 3: we be anticipating from the Israeli side. 274 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 11: I think we're. 275 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 17: Looking at a fairly severe expectation. I think that this 276 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 17: is going to ratchet it up. I think the Israelis 277 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 17: feel that they have to respond with severity. 278 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't know when it's. 279 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 17: Going to come, but I think it's going to come 280 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 17: in the coming days, and I think it's going to 281 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 17: go after It's not going to be symbolic. It's going 282 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 17: to go after some fairly important spots in Iran, strategic 283 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 17: perhaps oil, perhaps nuclear. I don't know. The Americans say 284 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 17: that they're on board with cooperating in some fashion. I 285 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 17: think we are looking at a fairly intense upsurge here, 286 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 17: to be honest. 287 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 3: So we don't see any sign that the movement of 288 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: further US personnel, further US equipment into the Middle East 289 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: could be acting as some kind of deterrent at this point. 290 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 17: I mean, when you say to Turrent, the implication is 291 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 17: that deter Israel's actions, I think the idea, yeah, But 292 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 17: I mean I think. 293 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 3: That the turns to those things. 294 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, So don't I think that the goal of 295 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 17: sending those people in personnel ad equipment is to bolster 296 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 17: the anti Iran approach, And so I think that may happen, 297 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 17: and I think that, No, I don't think that the 298 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 17: Americans are seeking to drive Israel away from much. I 299 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 17: don't know. I mean, obviously they're negotiating together right now, 300 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 17: but I don't forget that the Americans said to Iran, 301 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 17: don't do this, and if you do, there'll be severe consequences, 302 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 17: And now it looks like there will be. I don't 303 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 17: really know what that means, but I think there's reason 304 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 17: to believe something quite serious is a foot and soon. 305 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: Is there a risk at this point that if we 306 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 3: do see a further direct confrontation between Iran and Israel, 307 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: that even more parties could be drawn into the conflict. 308 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 17: Sure, I mean the part is that you're thinking about, 309 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 17: I suppose are the various militias and proxies that around 310 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 17: you know, funds and train so they will. Certainly, I 311 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 17: expect there'll be more terrorism inside as well, the way 312 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 17: there was yesterday two guys carried out gun attacks south 313 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 17: of Tel Aviv. 314 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: There might be more of that. 315 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 17: Look, I don't think that the States are going to 316 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 17: get involved Syria, Egypt and so forth. And you know, 317 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 17: I don't think so. I think when we talk about 318 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 17: an uptick, we mean the United States and around. 319 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: That's about as big as it gets. 320 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: Right right, Well, We'll be continuing to monitor developments. We 321 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 3: appreciate the update from you.

I want to start with you, Tina, 331 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,479 Speaker 3: where do you see the level of tension now between Israel, 332 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 3: between Iran and Iran's proxies following Iran's missile attack. 333 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 4: Thank you. It's clearly very elevated. 334 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 18: Markets have been trying to ignore the escalation since October 335 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 18: seventh of last year. The anniversary is coming up. Israel 336 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 18: will need to respond and we stay in this very dangerous, 337 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 18: high stakes game of geopolitical ping pong. But market participants 338 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 18: will be focused on targets and for something that seems. 339 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 4: To be different in terms of escalation. 340 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 19: So last night's attack had a modest impact on oil prices, 341 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 19: but that's going to be counterbalanced by Saudi Arabia's announcement 342 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 19: that it's increasing its product targets. 343 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 3: Terry, I want to bring you into this conversation as well. 344 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: We saw the candidates for vice president address this issue, 345 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 3: the current tensions between Israel and i Ron right at 346 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 3: the top of last night's vice presidential debate. Did the 347 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: running mates meet the moment? Did they make the case 348 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 3: effectively in your view for the tops of the tickets 349 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 3: being able to confront these geopolitical risks. 350 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 5: Well, I don't think they convinced anybody that already wasn't convinced. 351 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 5: For one candidate or the other. But the unanimity and 352 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 5: the approach overall should be a significant takeaway for people 353 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 5: outside the United States as to the degree of unity 354 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 5: that in fact and bipartisan unity that in fact does exist. 355 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 5: Beyond that, markets have been ignoring a great deal. You've 356 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 5: already got the highest geo political risk in fifty years. 357 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 5: This situation in the Middle East is preciously close to 358 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 5: boiling over completely. A great deal depends on just how 359 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 5: proportional the Israeli response is and to where it's pitched, 360 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 5: whether it's you know, the Iranians of course, have have 361 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 5: gone after the citizenry and you know, the Ethan and 362 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 5: in your last segment says, I think quite rightly that 363 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 5: what you're going to see from Israel is a lot 364 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 5: more targeted towards towards military targets and the ability to 365 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 5: continue to prosecute a war on the Iranian side. So 366 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 5: you know, the question is what the Israelis do next 367 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 5: and the degree to which the Iranians see that as 368 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 5: a provocation. So this situation is much more, much more fraught, 369 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 5: uh than markets are used to. Markets think this is 370 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 5: the same old, same old, and they're reacting that way, 371 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 5: and it's not. 372 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,239 Speaker 3: We did see a wide range of topics discussed in 373 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 3: the vice presidential debate last night, Terry, I want to 374 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 3: ask what stood out to you. 375 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 5: Well, fundamentally, you know, for markets, what markets heard is 376 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 5: that you know, I thought was very consequential. Rather, they 377 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 5: didn't hear it. Neither ticket, nor did neither political party 378 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 5: wants to deal with or talk about unsustainable US fiscal 379 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 5: debt and deficit, which is firstly as a significant markets concern. 380 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 7: Uh. 381 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 5: Secondly, it imperils the ability of the United States to 382 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 5: continue directly in perils now the ability to continue to 383 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 5: fund domestic programs of all kinds. And thirdly, we're now 384 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 5: in a situation I think that which markets are slow 385 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 5: to pick up on that debt service is now larger 386 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 5: than anything spending on anything else, larger than defense, larger 387 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 5: than you know, healthcare, larger than anything. And you know, 388 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 5: great powers don't last a great deal longer in that situation. 389 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 5: And yet you know, neither political party is interested in 390 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 5: even talking about it, much less dealing with it. Uh. 391 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 5: So you know that I think that was a major 392 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 5: market disappointment. 393 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 3: Tina, Why are you some of your reactions to the 394 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 3: Vice presidential debate. Obviously a lot of discussion, maybe not 395 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 3: necessarily pointed on the fiscal policy, but we did hear 396 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: a lot when it comes to the threat of tariffs 397 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: from former President Trump on immigration as well. 398 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 20: Well of all of the things that might move the 399 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 20: needle in the polls that we could talk about, the 400 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 20: escalation of the Middle East conflict being one of them, 401 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 20: the long shoreman strike, Hurricane Helena. 402 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 4: The VP debate does not figure. The discussion was not 403 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 4: intended for market. 404 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 18: Participants, and there has been no discussion whatsoever in this 405 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 18: campaign about the US deficit and spending. 406 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 4: That tells you something quite important. 407 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 18: But I do think there were some interesting surprises that 408 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 18: came out of the discussion, and one of them was 409 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 18: that we saw a less of the attack dog JD events. 410 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 18: He was smooth in his delivery, and there was a 411 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 18: lot of you know, what is called midwestern nice. 412 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 4: I don't think anybody was expecting that. 413 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 3: It's an interesting point that you make there, Tina, that 414 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 3: possibly world events, so much happening in the world, could 415 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 3: wipe this vice presidential debate off of voters' memories, potentially 416 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: with just about five weeks to go before the November election. 417 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 3: Do you see any impact from the vice presidential debate 418 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: when it comes to where things stand in the race 419 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 3: in this very tight race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. 420 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 4: Well. 421 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 18: I wrote before the debate that I didn't want to 422 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 18: discount anything that might see even a tiny shift in 423 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 18: polling or sentiment, given how tight the race is. 424 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 4: But is the VP debate going to register? 425 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 18: I mean, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump didn't register 426 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 18: in the polls. 427 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 4: So I think we're. 428 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 18: Going to forget about this debate tomorrow or maybe even 429 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 18: by lunchtime. 430 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: Terry, I want to bring you back in is that 431 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: was this a forgettable debate? Is there's just too much 432 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 3: going on that's going to take voters attention away. 433 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 5: Look from a vice presidential the candidate perspective, a forgettable 434 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 5: debate is a good debate. Uh. You know, these these 435 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 5: people don't want to stand out or be a distraction 436 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 5: to their ticket, and so so at route neither candidate 437 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 5: harmed their ticket, harmed themselves. In fact that they did, 438 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 5: both of them did themselves credit for a variety of reasons. 439 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 5: But you know that the top of the ticket is 440 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 5: going to continue to be what matters and and you know, 441 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 5: Vance did, I thought the best he could with you know, 442 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 5: things like January the sixth, and you know, the accusation 443 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 5: that Trump was waffling back and forth on a variety 444 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 5: of things and making things worse. But people have made 445 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 5: their minds up about Trump regardless of what Vance had 446 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 5: to say. And you know, so you know, the fact 447 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 5: that both that this debate will be forgotten is a 448 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 5: good thing for both tickets, frankly, because it refocuses on 449 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 5: the top. 450 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 3: Well, perhaps one thing that former President Trump might want 451 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: voters to remember in the moments after the debate, Tina, 452 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 3: is his promise now that he would vetail a federal 453 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 3: abortion ban if it came to his desk. Do you 454 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 3: see that moving the needle on this issue that Democrats 455 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 3: have really tried to exploit. Only have about a minute left. 456 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 18: Well, that was a dramatic change in stance from President Trump, 457 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 18: and to me, it reflects that, you know, the data 458 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 18: is probably being shown by his campaign that he's underwater 459 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 18: with female voters, and there is a dramatic gender gap 460 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 18: between Democrats and Republicans and as well as between the candidates. 461 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 4: It is close to twenty percentage points. 462 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 18: But I do think this announcement is too late and 463 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 18: most people have settled into their positions. I don't think 464 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,239 Speaker 18: it will bring female voters to Trump, but maybe it 465 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 18: will ease the minds of those who are concerned most 466 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 18: about reproductive rights should he become president. Having said that 467 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 18: he's a very malleable candidate when it comes to his positions. 468 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg day Break, your morning podcast on the 469 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 2: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 470 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 471 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 472 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 473 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 474 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 475 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two to nine in Boston, and nationwide on 476 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 2: serious XM Channel one twenty one. 477 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 3: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 478 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 3: Now with Apple CarPlay and Android Otto. 479 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: In faces, and don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now. 480 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: It's the latest news whenever you want it in five 481 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: minutes or less.
