54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: to clinch a one hundred eleven billion dollar deal. The

55
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: streaming giants said while its offer would have passed muster

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: with regulators and created shareholder value, it didn't want to

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,480

Speaker 6: Warner brother Is board not really concerned about synergies. I

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 6: think that if they could have chosen between the two buyers,

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 6: they preferred Netflix. Netflix is a bigger, stronger, healthier company

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 6: by paramount ultimately offered more money and a lot of

63
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,440

64
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 6: so they get bought out right now with cash, whereas

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 6: the Netflix deal was more of a two step process

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 6: where Warner Brothers was going to have to spin out

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 6: its cable networks and then sell the rest of the

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,160

Speaker 11: for the quarterback, and now the Richardson and the Colts

161
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 11: mutually agreeing to the quarterback to seek a trade. The eleventh

162
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 11: straight win for San Antonio one twenty six to one

163
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 11: ten in Brooklyn to the close loss of the Lakers

164
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 11: beaten by Phoenix by three. That's to Bloomberg Sports Update.

165
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: Stay with us more from Bloomberg day Break coming up

166
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: after this.

167
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM,

168
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the

169
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business. This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and good morning.

170
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: I'm John Tucker. Among some of the top stories we

171
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: are pursuing for you this morning, US and Iranian officials

172
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: agreeing to reconvene nuclear talks as soon as next week,

173
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 3: and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she denied

174
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: any association with Jeffrey Epstein during an hours long deposition

175
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: before congressional investigators yesterday. Let's get more in these stories now.

176
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: We're joined by Laura Davidson, the deputy Washington Beer chief

177
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: for Bloomberg News. Happy Friday to you. With the respect

178
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: to the Iran nuclear talks. I guess, Laura, at this

179
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: point the progress depends on who you're talking to, because

180
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: it seems like the US and the Iranian officials have

181
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: a different degrees of the success so far of these talks.

182
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 12: Yes, the US and the Iranians left the talks in

183
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 12: Geneva sort of striking very different tones. The Iranians came

184
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 12: out quite optimistic, saying that there was progress and quite

185
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 12: upbeat that these talks would continue and are headed in

186
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 12: a positive direction. US, on the other hand, came out

187
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 12: kind of deflated. They seemed disappointed with the lack of

188
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 12: progress and you know, did not at all take the

189
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 12: optimistic tone that we heard from the Iranians. This, you know,

190
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 12: it has been sort of a dichotomy that we've been

191
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 12: seeing for some days now, but has just really grown stronger.

192
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 12: And it was very apparent as these talks broke up

193
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 12: clearly with no tangible details that came out moving forward.

194
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: Here.

195
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: How firm is.

196
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: The Trump deadline to come to agreement?

197
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 12: Well, this is as firm as Trump wants it to be.

198
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 12: This is a dead deadline. He you know, said last

199
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 12: week thing he is giving around ten to fifteen days

200
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 12: to make some sort of deal. There is no legal

201
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 12: or otherwise forcing reason that he needs to enforce that deadline.

202
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 12: But you know, Trump likes to set some of these

203
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 12: arbitrary deadlines to try to force parties to come to

204
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 12: the table. You know, the leverage he has is that

205
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 12: he's continued to amass military assets in the region. You know,

206
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 12: there have been some signs that he's perhaps getting more

207
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 12: serious about some sort of limited strike, including his you know,

208
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 12: remarks at the State of the Union the other night

209
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 12: where he you know, said to know on certain terms

210
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 12: that you know, he wants to find a diplomatic solution,

211
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 12: but you know, could consider you know, some sort of

212
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 12: military action.

213
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: You know.

214
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 12: There's also just some headlines across the terminal here just

215
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 12: about an hour ago that US embassy personnel, non essential

216
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 12: personnel in Israel have been asked to leave the country.

217
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 12: So this is you know, kind of some of the

218
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 12: precursors that we have seen in the past before there

219
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 12: have been strikes in the region.

220
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go to the testimony of Hillary Clinton yesterday,

221
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 3: and I guess today we're going to hear from the

222
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: former president Bill Clinton. What exactly are they looking for?

223
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: Is this intended to be a political embarrassment or.

224
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: Or what.

225
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 12: If you ask Hillary Clinton, that is exactly what she

226
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 12: said that this is you know, just sort of a

227
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 12: you know, a hunt. They're trying to to put herself

228
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 12: and her husband of the former president on you know,

229
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 12: in this you know, not public it's behind closed doors,

230
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 12: but sort of in this in person forum, to to

231
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 12: just go on a hunt to see what they can find.

232
00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: You know.

233
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 12: Clinton, you know, came out of this deposition saying that

234
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 12: she was asked you know everything uh, you know related

235
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 12: to you know, including some very off topic things including

236
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 12: about aliens, conspiracy theories, UFOs, and and was said she

237
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 12: wasn't exactly certain what the point here was. Her husband,

238
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 12: Bill Clinton, will go into this deposition today. He has

239
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 12: you know, much closer ties to Jeffrey Epstein than Clinton

240
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 12: did than Hillary Clinton did. She has maintained that she

241
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 12: never met him, didn't know him, and certainly didn't know

242
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 12: anything about his activities regarding underage women. Clinton, however, Bill

243
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 12: Clinton has appeared in photos and in swimming pools with

244
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 12: with jeffreypperstin Epstein and wrote on his plane several times

245
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 12: as well.

246
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: And the Democrats want for President Trump to appear. I

247
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: suspect that's not going to happen. Good about the minute.

248
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 12: Left, Uh, that is highly unlikely to happen. At least

249
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 12: one Republicans control both chambers of the House. But this

250
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 12: is the kind of thing and this is why Trump

251
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 12: is very worried about the midterms. You know, if if

252
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 12: Democrats do win the House or the Senate, they suddenly

253
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 12: have subpoena power. Are they able to investigate more so,

254
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 12: this is the kind of thing that we could see

255
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 12: Democrats use their leverage going into the next year if

256
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 12: they are able to secure a majority.
