1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: Good morning.

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 3: stories we're following today, Karen.

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: We began in the Middle East. In some late breaking news,

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin D'atanyahu is accusing Hamas of renegging

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: on parts of a ceasefire agreement that looked set to

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: pause more than fifteen months of fighting in Gaza starting Sunday.

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: Naton Yahu's office says new demands by the Palestinian group

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: are an effort to extort last minute concessions. We get

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: more from Bloomberg's Ethan Brunner.

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 4: I mean, there are numerous, numerous details, which prisoners will

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 4: be released on, what kind of schedule, all sorts of

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 4: things that are not necessarily all written down, And so

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 4: it's easy for one side to say suddenly the other

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 4: side is making new demands, and fundamentally they have such

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 4: different goals. The goal of Israel is for Hamas to

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: be destroyed and eliminated in any position of power in Gaza,

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 4: and the goal of Hamas is to retain its power

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: and drive Israel out of Gaza. So ultimately they're on

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: a kind of collision course even though they're theoretically negotiating

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 4: a compromise.

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Eeth and Brunner notes, under the terms of the agreement,

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: Hamas would release thirty three hostages taken on October seventh,

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, while Israel would pull out of populated

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: areas in the Gaza Strip and release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: Hama says it is committed to the ceasefire deal announced

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: by the mediators.

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: Well, Nathan, we want to turn to Washington now and

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: a farewell from President Joe Biden. The President took the

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: cameras in the Oval Office to deliver a final address

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: to the nation and a warning about the administration to come.

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 5: Today.

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,279
Speaker 6: An oligarchy is taking shape in America, of extreme wealth,

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 6: power and influence that literally threads our entire democracy.

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: President Biden echoed former President Dwight Eisenhower's warning of a

37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: military industrial complex, saying the nation now face is the

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 3: threat of a tech industry real complex.

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: Trained to politics. North of the US. Karen Canada has

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 2: drawn up an initial list of more than one hundred

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: billion dollars of US manufactured items that would hit with

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: tariffs if President elect Donald Trump decides to levy tariffs

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: against Canadian goods. Sources tell us the list is a

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: draft and would come into play only if the Trump

45
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: administration moves First Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the premiers

46
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: of Canada's provinces met yesterday. It's a plot, a strategy

47
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: for dealing with US protectionism.

48
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: Well Nathan. Donald Trump's pick for Treasury Secretary is hedge

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: fund investor Scott Besson. He faces a Senate committee for

50
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: his confirmation hearing later this morning, and Bloomberg's Amy Morris

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: has a preview from Washington.

52
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 7: Back in October, Besant told Bloomberg TV Donald Trump tends

53
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 7: to be more involved in the financial side of things.

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: He has a deep understanding of financial markets as opposed

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 5: to most politicians, so he wants to be involved in

56
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 5: the conversation.

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 7: He has very well formed opinions. Bessett has said he

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 7: plans to pursue policies that boost the US economic output

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 7: whiles flashing budget deficits, and that his priority will be

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 7: to deliver on Trump's tax cut proposals. But he's been

61
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 7: known to not be as supportive of tariffs. That will

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 7: be a big focus for senators and investors. Scott Besson

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 7: still is expected to win approval easily from the Senate

64
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 7: in Washington. Amy Moore as Bloomberg Radio.

65
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: Right, Amy, thank you well and prepared remark set for

66
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: later this morning. Besson will say maintaining the dollar as

67
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: the world's reserve asset is critical to US economic health

68
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: and the nation's future. Stay with Bloomberg for full coverage

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: of Besson's confirmation hearing starting at ten thirty am Wall

70
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: Street Time on Bloomberg Radio and Television.

71
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: And Karen Is. TikTok continues to battle to keep its

72
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: app operating in the US after this Sunday. The CEO

73
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: of the company is joining the list of tech boguls

74
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: attending Trump's inauguration on Monday. The New York Times is

75
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: reporting CEO Show Choo has been invited to sit in

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: a position of honor on the dais where former presidents

77
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: and other important guests traditionally are seated. TikTok, which is

78
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: owned by China's Bytdance, does face a Sunday deadline to

79
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: find a US buyer in order to keep operating in

80
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: the country. Politicians from both parties are looking for ways

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: to keep TikTok accessible in this country despite that impending ban.

82
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: All Nathan, we now want to turn to the latest

83
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: developments in the battle if you contain the wildfires in

84
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: Los Angeles and Bloomberg. John Tucker joins us for an update. John,

85
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: Good morning, and good morning Careen.

86
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 8: The traumatized region made it through yesterday without another major

87
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 8: fire breaking out, and the last of the red flag

88
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 8: warnings they're expected to end this afternoon. Was fire crews

89
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 8: work to gain control. Officials also speaking to witnesses to

90
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 8: find the cause of the blazes, including the devastating palisades

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 8: and eaten fires. Jose Medina is with the ATF.

92
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: We are talking to individuals about not just what they saw,

93
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: but what they smelled and they heard.

94
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 8: The fires have killed twenty five and destroyed more than

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 8: twelve thousand structures. The government has yet to release damage estimates,

96
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 8: but private firms expect they'll climb into the tens of

97
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 8: billions and it could become the costliest fire disag yes

98
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 8: in US history. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.

99
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: Thanks John. Turning out of Space Blue Origins new flagship

100
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: rocket has lifted off for the first time and successfully

101
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: reached orbit, all seven engines.

102
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: Of cold product taking the pressures of good people through

103
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: the tower.

104
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 8: Now passing eighteen seconds in the.

105
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: Play, New Glen thundered off the launch padd at Cape Canaveral, Florida,

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: just after two am Eastern time. This mission is expected

107
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: to last several hours. It put the company's Blue Ring

108
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: pathfinder test satellite into orbit. That it was the main

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: objective of the flight, but launch commentators did confirm that

110
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: the booster portion of the New Glenn rocket was destroyed

111
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: as it attempted to land on a barge in the

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: Atlantic Ocean. That fell short of the mission's secondary goal.

113
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: Well to the markets now, Nathan where futures are higher

114
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: following Wednesday's one point eight percent rally on Wall Street

115
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: that was the S and P five hundreds biggest gain

116
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: since the aftermath of the election. The rally came out

117
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: after core inflation eased for the first time in six months.

118
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: Chicago Fed President Austin Goulesby says he's optimistic about the

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: Fed's inflation battle.

120
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 9: The trend continues to be improvement in inflation. I'm still

121
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 9: optimistic for twenty twenty five that we can continue growing

122
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 9: and have a soft.

123
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: Landing Chicago Fed President Austin Goulesby. Investors are now betting

124
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: the Central Bank is likely to lower itge benchmark interest

125
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: rate by half a percentage point this year.

126
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: And bank earnings continue this morning, Karen, They come after

127
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: blowout results yesterday from JP Morgan Chase, Goldman, Sachs, City Group,

128
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 2: and Wells Fargo. We get more from Bloomberg Intelligence senior

129
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: banking analyst Alison Williams.

130
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 10: Certainly the bar has been raised for Bank of America

131
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 10: and Morgan Stanley after strong sets of results from the

132
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 10: other four big US banks. We're expecting to see at

133
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 10: Bank of America an interest income growth. We could see

134
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 10: upside to the guidance in the near term. We've also

135
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 10: I've seen good expense control and solid credit trends. We

136
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 10: also expect to see a Bank of America. However, we

137
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 10: note that their first quarter does tend to have seasonally

138
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 10: higher expenses, so we could see that in their guidance.

139
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: Allison Williams of Bloomberg Intelligence says, so far, the big

140
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: banks have notched their second most profitable year ever.

141
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: Time. Now for a look at some of the other

142
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: stories making news in New York and around the world.

143
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr. Welcome back, Michael,

144
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: Thank you.

145
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 5: Very much, Karen. President elect Trump's pick for Attorney General,

146
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: Pam Bondy, was in the hot seat on Capitol Hill

147
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 5: yesterday and the latest in the series of confirmation hearings

148
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: for the incoming administration. During her confirmation hearing, Bondi refused

149
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 5: to say that Trump lost the twenty twenty election. Democrats

150
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 5: on the Senate Judiciary Committee press Bondy on whether she

151
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 5: will truly be independent from President elect.

152
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: Trump if confirmed.

153
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 7: I will do everything in my power and it will

154
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 7: be my great responsibility to make America safe again.

155
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: Bondi's confirmation is all but assured, with Republicans praisinger. President

156
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 5: elect Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in either buying Greenland

157
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 5: from Denmark We're taking it by force. During his Senate

158
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 5: confirmation hearing, Senator Marco Rubio explained buying Greenland would be

159
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: an important piece of land for the US. Trump has

160
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 5: nominated Rubio as his next Secretary of State. Rubio says

161
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 5: talking about acquiring Greenland isn't new.

162
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 6: Harry Truman made an effort to try to buy for

163
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 6: one hundred million dollars. He was rebuffed, and then the

164
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 6: US has maintained through a mutual defense agreement, there the

165
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 6: opportunity to base its military bases, and I have them

166
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 6: for a while.

167
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 5: It's believed the Senate will begin to start voting this

168
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 5: Monday on Inauguration Day to confirm some of Trump's picks.

169
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 5: The US Federal Trade Commission and two states who tractor

170
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 5: giant Deer, alleging the company legally monopolized agricultural equipment repairs.

171
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 5: The FTC and state attorneys general from Illinois and Minnesota

172
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 5: filed a complaint in federal court in Chicago's saying the

173
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 5: tractor manufacturer withheld key information and diagnostic tools from farmers

174
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 5: and independent repair shops. FTC chair Lina Khan spoke to Bloomberg.

175
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 11: They've been steered into Deer's network of authorized dealers, which

176
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 11: practically means they're paying more, and especially for farmers that

177
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 11: live in rural areas, it means they sometimes have to

178
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 11: drive hours to even get to the nearest dealer.

179
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 5: Deer's vice president of after market and Customer Supports said

180
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 5: in a statement the lawsuit is meritless. The FDA is

181
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 5: ordering food and drug makers to remove a die called

182
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 5: red number three from the products consumers eat and drink.

183
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 5: The colorant was banned from cosmetics and non oral medications

184
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 5: decades ago because the study showed it cause to cancer

185
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,560

191
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 12: Nixon Sixers in Philadelphia. Nicks had a sixteen point league,

192
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 12: led by thirteen and a half in a fifty three

193
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 12: minute game. They never once trailed, yet their victory was

194
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 12: anything but easy. Philly made up the deficit in the

195
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 12: third quarter of the game, was tied several times. In

196
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 12: the fourth. It went to overtiming. With Karl Anthony Towns

197
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 12: out with an injured thumb, Jalen Brunson stepped.

198

Speaker 13: Up Clockett ten Kate Crockett twenty two fronts. It breaks

199

200
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 13: five rebounds, four assists. You hear the Knicks chance meet

201
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 13: in Philadelphia, bron sits.

202
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 12: Three stood how E spn Nicks won one twenty five

203
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 12: one nineteen. Brunson scored thirty eight points. Josh Hart had

204
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 12: triple double. The Los Angeles Nets and Clippers tie that

205
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 12: to the first quarter, but LA won the second quarter

206
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 12: by twenty three points and the third by twenty eight.

207
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 12: In the fourth, they were up by sixty four. The

208
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 12: Clippers won one twenty six to sixty seven. It's their

209
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 12: biggest blowout win ever and the most lopsided loss in

210
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 12: Net's history. They had lost by fifty two to Houston

211
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 12: in nineteen seventy eight. Celtics lost at Toronto, won ten

212
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 12: ninety seven. The big East Seaton Hall loss at Butler.

213
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 12: At Fordham's Venerable rose Hill Gym, they celebrated the one

214
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 12: hundredth anniversary of college basketball's oldest still active arena, and

215
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 12: then Fordham lost to UMass in triple overtime. Quinn ewers

216
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 12: the quarterback at Texas the past three seasons going pro,

217
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 12: which means Archie Manning will finally take over as the

218
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 12: Longhorn starting QB at the Australian Open. Taylor Fritz lost

219
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,400

226
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 5: Good morning.

227
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager. Israel and Hamas appeared on the cusp

228
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: of a pause to fifteen months of fighting after agreeing

229
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: to a six week ceasefire and deferring hostages and moving

230
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: in aid to Gaza. But as the deal was announced,

231
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: White House National Security spokesman John Kirby sounded a tentative note.

232
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 14: Now comes the real hard work of putting the modalities

233
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 14: of the plan in place and executing to it over

234
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 14: the course of the weeks and months ahead, and that's

235
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 14: going to be tough work.

236
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 2: John Kirby's words may be ringing true this morning. Is

237
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: Israel now accuses Hamas of renegging on parts of the deal.

238
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: For the very latest, we go to Tel Aviv and

239
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: check in with Bloomberg News Israel Bureau chief Ethan Bronner. Ethan,

240
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: good morning. What is Israel accusing Hamas of? Do we

241
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: have a sense of what aspects of the deal that

242
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: Hamas is accused of renegging on.

243
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: They haven't specified. Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister's

244
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: office complained that Hamas was asserting that it had the

245
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: right to choose all of the prisoners that were going

246
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 4: to be released by Israel rather than clearing them with Israel,

247
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 4: and that Israel said that was not part of the agreement.

248
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: So that may be more of the same it maybe

249
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: other details. There's so many details here that one could

250
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 4: accuse the other side of suddenly changing course on. I

251
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 4: think it's important to say something else, which is that

252
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 4: the deal is facing a fair amount opposition in the

253
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 4: government on the far right of the government. Two parties

254
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: that the coalition rely on, relies on to continue to exist,

255
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: are threatening to possibly leave the government over this deal.

256
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: So these two facts, two phenomena may be related. The

257
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 4: Prime Minister's statement complaining about Hamas and the opposition here

258
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: in Israel.

259
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: So then, Ethan, does this mean at this point that

260
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: the deal is off or is there still a chance

261
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: that this can be salvaged.

262
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: Well, the deal is not yet on. I wouldn't call

263
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: it off, I have to. I just don't know the

264
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 4: answer to that. I think that if in theory Hamas responds,

265
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 4: it's already responded and said, that's not true. We're not

266
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 4: doing anything that you're accusing us of. But if they

267
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 4: somehow work out those details, I would imagine that the

268
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: cabinet here would pass it. But they have. Prime Minister

269
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: has announced that he's not even going to hold a

270
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: vote in the cabinet until he solves this Hamas last

271
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 4: minute problem. And it's very hard to know what this

272
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 4: amounts to. I really can't answer you. I don't know, Okay.

273
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: Well, in the speech that President Biden gave last night

274
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: his farewell address, he mentioned the Gaza cease fire deal

275
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: as one of his accomplishments, saying it was going to

276
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: be something that was going to be left to the

277
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: next administration to implement. We've talked before about the massive

278
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: US pressure that's been put on both sides in these

279
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: last few weeks during the transition. What could this mean

280
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: for the US in terms of its influence As we

281
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: start to see this as you know, sort of tentative

282
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: doubt raised about this proposal.

283
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: I think you're right to raise the question, Nathan. I mean,

284
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: you know, in theory, everyone was giving a lot of

285
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: credit to President Trump in coming President Trump for having

286
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: squeezed this out of the nitagne Is and also from

287
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 4: Katar onto Hamas, all those things. I think it's true.

288
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: But on the other hand, it's also the circumstances of

289
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: the last six months that really made the difference, which

290
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: had to do with the neutering Ofbellah and the killing

291
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 4: of a number of Hamas leaders, the collapse of the

292
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: Syrian regime under Havas Lasad, and the difficulties that Iran

293
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: has faced. So all those things are still here. But

294
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: it turned out and so we thought that the circumstances

295
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: were ripe for a deal, But it turned out that

296
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: inside Israel, and it must be said, on the right

297
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: side of the American Jewelry, there is a great concern

298
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: that too much is being given to Hamas, that too

299
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 4: many people with so called blood on their hands are

300
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: going to be freed, and that this organization that's vowed

301
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: to destroy Israel will be reconstituted. That seems to be

302
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: what's driving the anger on the right of the opposition,

303
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: and it took me a little by surprise this morning

304
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: that it has become so powerful. But we are in

305
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: a situation where I don't know what's going to be.
