3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 3: First, a powerful storm has been moving up the eastern

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 3: Seaboard and it is sure to have an effect on

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 3: that part of the country's morning commute. Let's get the

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 3: latest from Bloomberg meteorologists Drob Carolyn, Rob.

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 4: Nathan and Karen. A potent storm system moving up along

9
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 4: the coast to bring rain heavier times to the Tri

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 4: State area and southern New England. The worst the storm

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 4: has already gone by the district of Baltimore. We'll see

12
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 4: rain tapering off by midday in the New York City

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 4: area to scattered showers, but the rain will continue late

14
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 4: in the day through the Boston area. Boston seeing one

15
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 4: to three inches of rain from this system. Big problem

16
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 4: with the high winds. High wind advisories and wind warnings

17
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 4: are an effect from coastal New England all the way

18
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 4: across Long Island, and we are going to be looking

19
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 4: at some area seeing gus over fifty five miles an

20
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 4: hour through the morning.

21
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Okay, Bloomberg Meteorologist Rob Carolyn. We'll be checking

22
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: back with you throughout the morning.

23
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: Well, now, we want to bring you the latest developments

24
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: in the war in the Middle East, Nathan. International pressure

25
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: is intensifying for a ceasefire. Foreign secretaries from the UK,

26
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: France and Germany are all calling for hostilities to end

27
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: after three hostages were mistakenly shot by the Israeli military.

28
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: We get the latest from Bloomberg's Bill Fairies.

29
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 5: Politically, Prime Minister net Yahoo under increasing fire domestically because

30
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 5: of the apparent killing of those three hostages killed by

31
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 5: Idea forces. That's kind of raised the issue again about

32
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 5: the situation of the more than one hundred and twenty

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 5: five hostages still being held. You have Secretaria Pentagon Secretary

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 5: Lloyd Austen in the region, expected in Israel possibly today

35
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 5: raising those same issues. So certainly on all fronts, I

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 5: think the Israeli government finding itself under an increasing amount

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 5: of pressure to at least have come to another temporary cease.

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Fire, and Bloomberg's Bill Fairies are ports. Israel's Foreign minister

39
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: says any call for a ceasefire with Hamas is a

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: quote prize for terrorism.

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: Well back here in the US, Karen the Top Republic

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: and on the Senate Judiciary Committee's weighing in on the

43
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: impeachment inquiries that the House just voted to authorize into

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: President Biden, Lindsey Graham says he hasn't been paying much

45
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: attention to them.

46
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 6: If there were a smoking gun, I think would be

47
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 6: talking about it. But you know, the narrative that Hunter

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 6: Biden presented his falling apart, the idea that Joe Biden

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 6: knew nothing about the business dealings falling apart.

50
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: And Senator Graham tells NBC's Meet the Press he's more

51
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: worried about the Middle East and securing the border than

52
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: impeaching the president. You can hear Meet the Press every

53
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 3: Sunday on Bloomberg Radio.

54
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Nathan, the White House is take a name at

55
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: former President Trump over his use of inflammatory language to

56
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: describe immigrants, and Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has more.

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 7: The White House says they are on America. The statement says,

58
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 7: echoing the grotesque rhetoric of fascists and violent white supremacist,

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 7: Trump was trying to rally his base around the issue

60
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 7: of immigration.

61
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 8: They're poisoning the blood of our country, that's what.

62
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 7: They've done, saying they're coming in from all over the world.

63
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 9: From Africa, from Asia, all over the world. They're pouring

64
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 9: into country.

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 7: The White House says clear oppression and a threat to democracy,

66
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 7: and Trump rival Chris Christie on CBS has heard on Bloomberg.

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 8: I don't know how you could take someone like that

68
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 8: and say that they're fit to be president of the

69
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 8: United States.

70
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 7: Trump continues to hold a massive lead in the polls

71
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 7: of the GOP ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio, All Right, ed,

72
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 7: thank you.

73
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: Turning to markets and the Federal Reserve, Chicago FED President

74
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: Austin Goulesby says it's too early to declare victory over inflation.

75
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 3: He says there's still work to do to get price

76
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: pressures down to two percent.

77
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 7: Twenty twenty three.

78
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 10: Looks like it's going to end up being a very

79
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 10: substantial reduction in inflation without a big increase in the

80
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 10: unemployment rate. That's the golden path that I talked about.

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 10: But we're still above the target. We got to get

82
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 10: inflation down to target before. Until we're convinced that we're

83
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 10: on path to that, it's an overstatement to be counting

84
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 10: the chickens.

85
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: Chicago Fed chief Austin goles We made the remarks on

86
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: CBS's Face the Nation last week policymakers signal they expect

87
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: to cut rates three times next year.

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan that dubvish stands by the FED has some

89
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: a key strategists bullish on the markets. Goldman's Sachs David

90
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: Conston says the S and P five hundred ozer rise

91
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: to a record fifty one hundred next year. He says

92
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: falling inflation and FED easing will keep real yields low

93
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: and support valuations. And Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson, who's been

94
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: bearish on stalks all year, says the fed's dubbish pivot

95
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: is a positive signal for stocks.

96
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 10: Well.

97
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: While other top banks have succession plans in place, Karen,

98
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: there's still question about the future leadership at JP Morgan Chase.

99
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: Halfway through Jamie Diamonds special incentive to stay five more

100
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: years as CEO. Insiders are predicting more senior leadership changes

101
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 3: tell potential successors gather experience. A management shuffle in mid

102
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one put two deputies into the spotlightman as

103
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: the board prepared to grant Diamond a bonus if he

104
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: remains CEO another half decade. But with neither of those

105
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: two the clear front runner Inside Sourises tell us the

106
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: two consumer banking coheads will likely need to tackle new

107
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: assignments before one of them is ready to run the

108
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: whole company well.

109
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: In deal news this morning, Nathan Amsterdam based chemicals company

110
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: OCI has agreed to sell its US crop nutree and

111
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: business to Coke Industries. The price tag is three point

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: six billion dollars. It's a second disposal in a matter

113
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: of days by OCI, which is under pressure from an

114
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: activist investor.

115
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: And IBM has agreed to buy data integration platforms, stream

116
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: sets and web methods from Software ag for two point

117
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: three billion dollars. IBM says the deal will strengthen its

118
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: position as demand increases for cloud services tailored to AI applications.

119
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: And it's time now for a look at some of

120
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: the other stories making news around the world. For that,

121
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris.

122
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 11: Amy Good morning, Good morning, Karen, a Texas congressman, says

123
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 11: the Senate at the White House, we'll have to sweeten

124
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 11: the current border security deal to get an aid package

125
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 11: for Ukrain in Israel through the House.

126
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 10: The root of the issue as laby Lean Cartel's as

127
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 10: terrorist organizations and the other piece is holding these smugglers

128
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 10: accountable that caused damage and kill Americans.

129
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 12: Speaking on CBS's Face the Nation, GOP Congressman Tony Gonzalez

130
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 12: acknowledged that what the Senate and the White House want

131
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 12: is much different from what the House wants. One Senate

132
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 12: Democrat says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is undermining a

133
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 12: vision of peace.

134
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: Prime Minister Natnar, who has been an exceptionally difficult partner.

135
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 12: Delaware Senator Chris Coon said on CBS's Face the Nation

136
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 12: that President Biden and most of Congress want a two

137
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 12: state solution with Israel and an independent Palestinian nation. The

138
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 12: House of Representatives is expected to move forward with its

139
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 12: impeachment inquiry against President Biden after last week's party line

140
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 12: vote approving the inquiry. New York Congressman Dan Goldman is

141
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 12: a former federal prosecutor and served as lead Democratic counsel

142
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 12: to the first Trump impeachment trial. He says the Biden

143
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 12: administration has handed over more than one hundred thousand pages

144
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 12: of documents to House inquiries from.

145
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 13: The Biden administration has been far above and beyond what

146
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 13: they need to do under the separation of powers doctrines,

147
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 13: and certainly far more than what Donald Trump did in

148
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 13: twenty nineteen when he turned over zero documents.

149
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 12: The investigation concerns the president's son, Hunter Biden and his

150
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 12: foreign business deals. Air travel experts have some tips now

151
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 12: on how we can all navigate the busy holiday season.

152
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 12: They're wanting to last minute deals for tickets on Christmas

153
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 12: Day and New Year's Eve, and they say you may

154
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 12: avoid delays if you travel early in the day, points

155
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 12: guy Brian Kelly.

156
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 14: The best advice I have is go early as possible.

157
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 14: Expedia just did a survey based on tons of flights

158
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 14: and if you leave after three pm, the odds of

159
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 14: your flight being delayed canceled are fifty percent greater. So

178
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 9: John Karen has been a surprisingly rough season in Buffalo.

179
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 9: The Bill's two games out in the AFSE East, but

180
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 9: fighting to make it in as a wildcard, and they

181
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 9: serve notice that if they do make it in the playoffs,

182
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 9: they could be a tough out. The Bills blew out

183
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 9: the Cowboys thirty one to ten, James Cook one hundred

184
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 9: and seventy nine yards rushing. It ends the Cowboys five

185
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 9: game winning streak. They had that big win last week

186
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 9: were in Philadelphia, but this loss could cost them the division,

187
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 9: could see them drop from the two seed of the

188
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 9: NFC all the way down to the five. The forty

189
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 9: nine ers, right now on course to be the top seed,

190
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 9: got their eleventh win forty five to twenty nine at Arizona,

191
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 9: brock Purty through four touchdown passes. As a kid to

192
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,119
Speaker 9: be the NFL MVP, he says his teammate Kristian McCaffrey

193
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 9: deserves the award. More last night the eleventh win for

194
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 9: Baltimore twenty three to seven at Jacksonville that drops the

195
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 9: Jacks to eight and six and now in a three

196
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 9: way time for first AFC South with Indianapolis, who won

197
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 9: on Saturday, and Houston came from thirteen down to win

198
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 9: in overtime at Tennessee. The Texans won without their starting

199
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,400

Speaker 9: to one fourteen, despite Steph Curry square only seven points

208
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 9: and not hitting a single three pointer. He was zero

209
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 9: for eight. It's the first time in five years Curry

210
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,440

215
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. On this Monday morning, Israel

216
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: is resisting international calls for a ceasefire after its military

217
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: mistakenly shot and killed three hostages who were being held

218
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: by Hamas in northern Gaza. This as ships in the

219
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: all important Red Sea region come under greater attack from

220
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: hootie rebels in Yemen. Monitoring all this for US is

221
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Oliver Crook, who has been following the war in

222
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: Gaza since the October seventh Hamas attack on southern Israel.

223
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 3: And Oliver is here with me now, thanks for being

224
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: with us. So we had this joint letter over the

225
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 3: weekend from the UK and German foreign secretaries calling for

226
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: a sustainable ceasefire. Francis Foreign Minister following that up with

227
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 3: calls of her own for a truce. What is the

228
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: Israeli reaction to this growing international call for some kind

229
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: of ceasefire with Hamas.

230
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 15: Yeah, there's so many dimensions to this. So of course

231
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 15: from the Israeli perspective, there is a huge amount of

232
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 15: resistance to talking about sort of ceasefires, general ceasefires, and

233
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 15: again they've always wanted to say pauses, and the West

234
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 15: and the sort of supporters of Israel have always sort

235
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 15: of backed that. But what's interesting if you actually read

236
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 15: this letter by the UK and the German Foreign Secretary,

237
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 15: it's very muddled, right, it's but again it speaks to

238
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 15: the difficulty of a lot of the countries that support

239
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 15: Israel squaring the circle of what they see as a

240
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 15: legitimate aim, which is removing Hamas, while at the same

241
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 15: time not wanting to kill as many civil being killed.

242
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 15: So on the one hand, they say we want a

243
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 15: sustainable ceasefire in this letter, but let us be clear,

244
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 15: we do not believe in calling for it right now

245
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 15: as a general and immediate ceasefire. First Hamas needs to

246
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 15: lay down its arms. So these are all conditions that

247
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 15: they're they're seeing, but again there's no indication that Hamas

248
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 15: has any intention of doing so they go on and

249
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 15: talk also about the two state solution and something needs

250
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 15: to change for a durable solution. But again, you want

251
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 15: that without sending the signal that terrorism is the way

252
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 15: to successfully achieve political ends. So you see them really

253
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 15: squirming around this.

254
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 3: What about the signal that the US is sending. Of course,

255
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 3: we have a National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan in the region.

256
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 3: In fact, he was in the region when we learned

257
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: of this hostage killing in northern Gaza. Defense Secretary Lloyd

258
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 3: Austin is in the region as well. What kind of

259
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: pressure is the US bringing to bear right now?

260
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 15: Completely, let's take a step back. Let's go back to

261
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 15: last week when Biden was saying that basically the Israelis

262
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 15: are starting to lose some of the support because of

263
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 15: the indiscriminate bombing that takes place. Now, that is a

264
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 15: direct quotation, and that is a fairly strong pronouncement from Biden,

265
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 15: who's been very supportive of Israel, and who's obviously the

266
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 15: most important economically, militarily, and almost in every sense supporter

267
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 15: of Israel. But what you had last week is you

268
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 15: had Sullivan coming in and this is you know, and

269
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 15: this is the timeline for the war, and what that

270
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 15: looks like. The US has been very eager to try

271
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 15: to get more information from Israel and what that looks like.

272
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 15: All we've really heard from Israel is that there's three

273
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 15: major steps. There's the intense military campaign, which is what

274
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 15: we're in right now. The second step is more surgical

275
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 15: on the ground, dealing with leadership, and then the third

276
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 15: is the kind of new security regime. What the US

277
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 15: is trying to do is trying to get into phase

278
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 15: two as soon as possible. And you heard that from

279
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 15: Sullivan on Friday, and you'll probably hear that from Lloyd

280
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 15: Austin today when he meets with the Israeli and trying

281
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 15: to really get a picture of what their vision of

282
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 15: this war is.

283
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 3: Is Israeli Prime Minister netanyahuo facing domestic pressure as well

284
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: to get to that second phase, given what we saw

285
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: with the hostages over the weekend.

286
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 15: I think that this is the difficulty, where on the

287
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 15: one hand, there is this sort of full support in

288
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 15: Israel of getting rid of Hamas and you know, again

289
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 15: going to whatever is necessary there to do so. However,

290
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 15: there is also this increasing pressure, particularly from those who

291
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 15: have a great, great, great deal of concern for the hostages.

292
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 15: I mean, they came out with this, it was absolutely

293
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 15: shocking on Friday to the Israelis that they could have

294
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 15: killed three of their own hostages, that you know their

295
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 15: mission is to save them, who came out apparently holding

296
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 15: white flags and shirt lists to show that there were

297
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 15: no bombs. Speaking in Hebrew, of course, this is the

298
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 15: sort of throes of war and a lot of things

299
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 15: can happen, but that immediately triggered protests in the streets

300
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 15: of Tel Aviv outside of the Defense ministry, and you're

301
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 15: going to see that pressure continuing to mount because there

302
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 15: has been a division from the very beginning from the

303
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 15: Israelis about how they're conducting this war. Is this the

304
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 15: best way to do it if you want to get

305
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 15: the hostages back. There's still one hundred and thirty or

306
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 15: so left.

307
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: And as this war continues, we're seeing shipping in the

308
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 3: Red Sea coming under increasing attack from Houti rebels in Yemen.

309
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: There's a complicated response to that as well.

310
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 15: Yeah, so we had this over the weekend where we

311
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 15: heard with Moller Mirsk and Hapag Lloyd, both of the

312
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 15: huge shipping container companies of the world, saying that they're

313
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 15: basically telling their ship their ships to not go through

314
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 15: that passage at the Red Sea that passes by Yemen,

315
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 15: and we'll remember the ever given fiasco right from a

316
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 15: couple of years ago where the Suez Canal got blocked.

317
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 15: That's about twelve percent of global trade that goes through

318
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 15: the Suez Canal, and this is one of the points

319
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 15: that you need to pass before you get there. So

320
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 15: again there are sort of the more macro concerns going

321
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 15: around about this, and of course you have the IDEF

322
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 15: repeatedly warning still to this day hasn't quieted down in

323
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 15: the north around Hezbola. So again, all of these are

324
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 15: still very much alive, and again you're starting to see

325
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 15: some of the macroeconomic consequences.
