190

Speaker 12: Asked about it and he gave no comment. Had a

198
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 12: great regular season with thirteen wins with two and a

199
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,520

00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. The

209
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: leadership vacuum on Capitol Hill just got more intense. Steve Scalise,

210
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 3: who just barely won nomination from his Republican party, has

211
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: now dropped his bid to be the next House Speaker.

212
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: That leaves Congress unable to act not just on government spending,

213
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: but on aid to Israel, as that country's war with

214
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: Hamas appears now for a ground invasion of Gaza. For

215
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: the latest on all this, we're joined by Bloomberg News

216
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: Senior editor Bill Ferries.

217
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Bill, Good Morning.

218
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: The frozen Congress really couldn't have come at a worse time,

219
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: and now with Scalise out, it's tough to see a

220
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: way out exactly.

221
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 8: I mean.

222
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 14: Steve Scalise's candidacy didn't last really more than twenty four hours.

223
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 14: He's known as someone who can count votes, and I

224
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 14: think he immediately saw after a few hours after he

225
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 14: was picked that he didn't have the votes, and members

226
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 14: were coming out, you had enough members saying that they

227
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 14: would never vote for him. It's not clear that the

228
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 14: Republican Party can get two hundred and seventeen votes for

229
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 14: anybody at this point. Jim Jordan of course got I

230
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 14: think ninety nine votes from his Republican colleagues, but I

231
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 14: think he'll face some of the same challenges that Scalisee did,

232
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 14: and that there will be at least four or five

233
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 14: Republicans who will say no way. And that doesn't leave

234
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 14: us with any clear Plan B or Plans SEE at

235
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 14: this point.

236
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: So it sounds as though if there were to be

237
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: a Plan B or a Plan SEE, since it doesn't

238
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: sound like there's enough Republican support for anyone that the

239
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 3: Democrats might need to be the Plan B.

240
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Is that something that appears likely at this point.

241
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 14: Well, it's it's an idea that two two top Republican

242
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 14: chairmen who oversee foreign affairs issues, Mike Rogers, who's an

243
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 14: Armed Services chairman, and Michael McCall, who runs the Foreign

244
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 14: Affairs Committee, they've both proposed that that possibly they, you know,

245
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 14: start talking to Democrats about what concessions they would need

246
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 14: to make to get a leader approved on the floor.

247
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 14: That's not something we've really seen in our you know,

248
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 14: in our lifetimes.

249
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 8: That kind of a negotiation.

250
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 14: So it's not clear if the Democrats want to go

251
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 14: down that path, but it shows, I think the kind of.

252
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 8: Frustration that Republicans have at this point.

253
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 14: I mean, it's it's total chaos and they don't see

254
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 14: that's really a sign that they don't see anyone on

255
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 14: their side of the party who could win unanimous support

256
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 14: from the party.

257
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, not to now.

258
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: There was so much urgency behind an effort to get

259
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: somebody to fill the speaker's chair, because not only do

260
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: we have another government shutdown deadline coming up in the

261
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: middle of next month, but now we have war between

262
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: Israel and Hamas and this urgent effort to try to

263
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: get more support to Israel. Is there any movement that

264
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 3: can happen there without a speaker to move things along?

265
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 14: Well, I mean there's a couple theoretical options which we

266
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 14: might might move into the realm of reality before long.

267
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 14: One is whether the House would vote to grant interim

268
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 14: Speaker Patrick McHenry enough power to be able to pass

269
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 14: a couple key bills or legislation, and I think Israel

270
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 14: would be at the top of a lot of people's

271
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 14: list now, both on the Publican side on the Democratic side.

272
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 14: But you know, beyond that, it's getting very difficult to

273
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 14: see how this kind of an aid package gets through.

274
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 14: Some members for both parties have proposed up to two

275
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 14: billion dollars in aid for Israel, but without a speaker,

276
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 14: or without some sort of a key decision about the

277
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 14: interim speaker mckenry, that's not going to go anywhere.

278
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: And of course it does look as though we could

279
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: be seeing a ground invasion in the Gaza Strip now,

280
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: with Israel telling more than a million citizens in the

281
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: northern Gaza Strip to evacuate. But I mean, this is

282
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: one of the most heavily populated areas in the world,

283
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 3: as you know, Bill, and we're hearing from the United

284
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: Nations that this is impossible.

285
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: So where does this go from here?

286
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 8: Right?

287
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 14: So, the United Nations team in Gaza was told they

288
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 14: had just before midnight, they were that they had twenty

289
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 14: four hours to evacuate their staff, and they were told

290
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 14: to help evacuate everyone who basically lives north of southern

291
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 14: Gaza City that's one point one million people. The UN

292
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 14: has said it's impossible to do that kind of an

293
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 14: evacuation on such short notice, let alone, even if you

294
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 14: had time, I think it would be very difficult. But

295
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 14: it is the latest sign that the ground invasion is

296
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 14: probably getting even closer.

297
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 8: At this point. Egypt has said.

298
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 14: That it would like to open a humanitarian corridor in

299
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 14: the south on its border with Gaza, but it doesn't

300
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 14: want to take have people crossing the border into Egypt.

301
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 14: It wants to stend some aid in food aid, medical aid, water,

302
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 14: things like that, but it doesn't want to become the

303
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 14: recipient of a mass flood of refugees. So with the

304
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 14: clock certainly appearing to be ticking in terms of where

305
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 14: we are on this ground invasion, it's not clear that

306
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 14: the situation on the ground is going to get any

307
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 14: better anytime soon.
