But it comes with so much 28 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 6: trepidation and so many questions. This is not a ceasefire, 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 6: it's a pause. It comes also as a result of 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 6: enormous pressure both inside Israel and internationally that the Israeli 31 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 6: government has been feeling, particularly from the relatives of these 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 6: two hundred and thirty six hostages. 33 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: Bloomberg contributor Genie she and Zano says three Americans will 34 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: be among the hostages leaving Gaza and Amy. 35 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 3: Another major story we're following this morning is the return 36 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: of sam Aldman to open Ai, just days after he 37 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 3: was fired then hired by Microsoft.

The Pacers beat the Hawks one fifty 177 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 15: seven to one fifty two. Both teams shot sixty percent 178 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 15: from the field. San Diego Padres have named Mike Schilt 179 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 15: their new manager. He managed the Cardinals for four years, 180 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 15: got them into the playoffs three times. He replaces Bob Melvin, 181 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 15: who left the Padres to go to the Giants. Willie Hernandez, 182 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 15: who won the Cy Young Award and the MVP in 183 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 15: nineteen eighty four pitching for the Tigers, has passed away. 184 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 15: Sixty nine Josh Dasha were Bloomberg Sports. 185 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 16: From coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, 186 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 16: Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg 187 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 16: Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. 188 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 5: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. 189 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 3: The relentless war in Gaza, Sin Thomas's October seventh attack 190 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 3: on Israel looks like it's taking a pause. Both sides 191 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 3: have reached a deal that we'll see Hamas release dozens 192 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 3: of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. And for more 193 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: on this agreement, we are joined by Bloomberg News Senior 194 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: editor Bill Ferries. Bill, thanks for being with us. Let's 195 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 3: start off first with the terms. 196 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 5: Of this deal. 197 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: What exactly have Israel and Hamas agreed to after these 198 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 3: days of talks. 199 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 17: Well, what we know from both sides and from the 200 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 17: Kataris who have been really kind of leading the mediation 201 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 17: efforts here is that within the next less than twenty 202 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 17: four hours noway point, what we call a humanitarian pause 203 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 17: in the conflict will go into effect. Hamas has agreed 204 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 17: to free initially fifty hostages. We expect these to be 205 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 17: women and children who were taken when they stormed into 206 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 17: Israel on October seventh. In return, Israel will begin looking 207 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 17: at releasing perhaps dozens of Palestinian prisoners, also likely to 208 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 17: be women and children. But the interesting thing about this 209 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 17: is it's a four day pause, but there's a potential 210 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 17: for an extension here if Hamas agrees to release more hostages. 211 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 17: So basically for every additional ten hostages the Hamas releases, 212 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 17: that extends the pause by a day. Remember, Israel estimates 213 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 17: about two hundred and forty people were taken hostage during 214 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 17: those October seventh attacks, so this has the potential to 215 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 17: extend the deal quite a bit. In return, as I said, 216 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 17: Hamas gets some prisoner releases from Israeli prisons. They also 217 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 17: so get an end to over flights and bombing air 218 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 17: strikes of Gaza in that time, and really the chance 219 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 17: to get a lot more aid flowing in in terms 220 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 17: of medical supplies and fuel for nonprofit groups. That do 221 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 17: humanitarian work, So all sides I think had an interest 222 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 17: at this point in getting reaching a deal. There were 223 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 17: a lot of hiccups in the process, but it looks 224 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 17: like it should be going into effect within the coming day. 225 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: Let's talk about some of those hiccups, because, as you know, Bill, 226 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 3: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said as these talks 227 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 3: were underway that he wouldn't agree to any pause at 228 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 3: all unless all the hostages were freed. So what did 229 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: it take to get at least this kind of a 230 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 3: deal done. The possibility that we could see more pauses, 231 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 3: and this potential for a trickle. 232 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 5: Of hostages to be released over time. 233 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 17: Well, you're right, it wasn't clear at all that it deal. 234 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 17: Whatever happened, Katar got involved soon after those October seventh 235 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 17: attacks UH and started trying to find a way to 236 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 17: focus really on hostages and getting them back the US. 237 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 17: The Biden administration was deeply involved in these talks as well, 238 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 17: and you're right they did. There was this push to 239 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 17: have all hostages released at once that didn't seem to 240 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 17: be getting much traction, and Hamas came back with an 241 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 17: offer of fifty fifty hostages in one trench and then 242 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 17: and then put potentially more in the coming days. What 243 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 17: we know is that the leader of Qatar continued to 244 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 17: stay very engaged in this and we uh what we 245 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 17: what we ended up seeing was was really in agreement 246 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 17: to kind of kind of bridge that divide with the 247 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 17: fifty UH. President Biden had had a conversation with President 248 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 17: Prime Minister net Yahoo at one point, and they really 249 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 17: felt like this was probably the best deal they could 250 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 17: get for now. The US was really encouraged by the 251 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 17: early release of a couple Americans who were taken in 252 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 17: the October seventh grade, and they basically built on that. 253 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 17: So they went from an initial request of fifty to 254 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 17: what could be dozens more than that. We kind of 255 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 17: have to see where it goes. But the priority was 256 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 17: always initially on women and children and the elderly civilians, 257 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 17: and then looking more at soldiers from both sides, and 258 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 17: I think that's where talks on further releases will get 259 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 17: more complicated. 260 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 3: Even as we see this deal get implemented, as you say, 261 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: possibly as soon as after tomorrow, Prime Minister Natan Yahoo 262 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 3: is saying that this won't mean that the war itself 263 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 3: is coming to an end. What should we expect when 264 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: it comes to the fighting and the progress that Israel 265 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 3: wants to make against Thomas once this potentially initial pause 266 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 3: takes effect. 267 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean, I think it's important to note that 268 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 17: all sides are calling this a pause. I think I've 269 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 17: seen the word truth, so temporary truth, things like that. 270 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 17: No one is calling this an end to the conflict. 271 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 17: Before they voted to accept this agreement, they've said that 272 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 17: the war will continue. 273 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 11: They can. 274 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 17: They want to go after eliminating Hamas and returning all 275 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 17: the hostages, and they said, you know, when this truce ends, 276 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 17: they will they will go back in the fighting will zoom. 277 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 17: So it's an important significant step here, but it's not 278 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 17: the end of the conflict as we. 279 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 5: Know in Okay. 280 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 3: Bill Ferries, Bloomberg News senior editor, joining us this morning 281 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: after we learned that a deal has been struck now 282 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 3: between Israel and Hamas to pause the fighting in exchange 283 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 3: for hostage releases at least some of the hostages initially 284 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: being released from Gaza. Now we want to turn to 285 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: the latest deal at open Ai. This saga that began 286 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 3: last Friday may be over after intense pressure from investors. 287 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: Sam Altman is returning as the CEO of the chat 288 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 3: GPT parent company, and the board at OpenAI looks like 289 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 3: it is about to go through a serious overhaul. Let's 290 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 3: bring in Alex web for more on this story. He 291 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 3: covers tech for us for Bloomberg News and has been 292 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: following this since the sudden ouster last Friday and now 293 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 3: the sudden return. 294 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 5: Help us make sense of this, Alex, I. 295 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 18: Mean, it's a big victory for Microsoft. Essentially. The thing 296 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 18: that appears to have happened, and this is what's on 297 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 18: the reporting suggests last week is that one of the 298 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 18: reasons Sam Alton was ousted was concerned that he was 299 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 18: prioritizing the commercial impulses of the company over what actually 300 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 18: is his mandate, mainly to improve and this genuinely is 301 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 18: the wording. It is to work for the benefit of 302 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 18: all humanity. Now Microsoft is almost certainly going to be 303 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 18: getting great oversight, greater sway at a board level over 304 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 18: what happened at open Ai. The company is therefore going 305 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 18: to be run was so slightly more in the interest 306 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 18: of Microsoft, not necessarily in the interest of all humanity. 307 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 18: The three members have been appointed to the board, Adam DiAngelo, 308 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 18: the see of Kor, who was already on there. The 309 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 18: new ones are going to be Larry Summers, of course, 310 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 18: former Treasury Section under Bill Clinton, and Brett Taylor, the 311 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 18: former co CEO of Salesforce. They are going to be 312 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 18: as many as nine additional board members. The expectation is 313 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 18: perhaps two of those could be representatives of Microsoft, and 314 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 18: Altman himself could well rejoin the board. 315 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 3: And we should note in the interest of transparency that 316 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 3: Larry Summers, along with joining the board at OpenAI as 317 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 3: a paid contributor to Bloomberg, with these additions, at least 318 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 3: initial additions to the board, Alex, it sounds like that 319 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: could be the bigger deal here than just simply the 320 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 3: return of Sam Altman as the CEO. 321 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 18: Yeah, the thing we'd heard on Monday from sat In Nodella, 322 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 18: the Microsoft CEO, in an interview Bloomberg Television. He had 323 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 18: said he wanted improved to governance at open AI. It 324 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 18: seems as though the board composition was the sticking point 325 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 18: and why it took a good few days to reach 326 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 18: a resolution, given that we had heard as early as 327 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 18: Sunday that there there were moves from both sides to 328 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 18: bring Sam Altman back into the fold. When Nadella says 329 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 18: he wants improvements to governance, everybody more or less understood 330 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 18: that to mean he wanted Microsoft to have better inside. 331 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 18: Because this completely blindsided Microsoft is firing of Sam Wortman 332 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 18: and subsequent departure of Greg Brockman, the president of the company. 333 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 18: Microsoft had no forewarning of that. They learned it pretty 334 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 18: much at the same time the rest of the world did. 335 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 18: The understanding is it was maybe a few minutes before 336 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 18: they put the rest release or the post on their 337 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 18: website up. So you know, surprises for big businesses are 338 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 18: not considered good, and that's clearly something that Microsoft wanted 339 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 18: to fix. 340 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 3: To your point earlier about this signaling the idea that 341 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 3: this could take the open AI in the direction of 342 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 3: where Microsoft wants to go as opposed to. 343 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 5: The betterment of humanity. 344 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 3: Talk a little bit more about what this could mean 345 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 3: for open AI and the competition, this massive competition that 346 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: we're seeing between Microsoft and so many of the other 347 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 3: players in the artificial intelligence space. 348 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 5: What could this mean down the line. 349 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 18: So there are basically four big players, certainly in the 350 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 18: Western hemisphere in advanced artificial intelligence research. There's deep Mind, 351 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 18: which is now Google Deep Mind. It is part of Google. 352 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 18: There is microsoft SORR Meta AI Research clearly part of Meta. 353 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 18: There is open Ai, which is very closely aligned with Microsoft. 354 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 18: And there is also an Anthropic which was founded by 355 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 18: a bunch of departees from open Ai a few years ago. Google, 356 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 18: Microsoft and Amazon are the ones really competing in the cloud, 357 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 18: and at the moment, the real way to make money 358 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 18: from AI is in the cloud. It is from not 359 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 18: necessarily selling the AI services to companies to use. Is 360 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 18: the processing power needed to run those AI serves, and 361 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 18: that's where the margin really is. Google Microsoft fans and 362 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 18: can compete very fiercely in that space. Microsoft has this 363 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 18: huge benefit from the relationship with open Ai, but it 364 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 18: does not technically own open Ai. And then the way 365 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 18: that Google owns DeepMind. So that's really the lay of 366 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 18: the land when it comes to the battlefield. This will 367 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 18: help Microsoft potentially by hearing them more closely still to 368 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 18: their long term business goals. 369 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 3: Let's talk about the other AI story that everyone was 370 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 3: waiting for even before last Friday. Of course, that's the 371 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 3: earnings from Nvidia. Another is a solid quarter, but the 372 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 3: shares are dropping ever so slightly this morning. 373 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 5: What's the disconnect I mean. 374 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 18: Look, the expectations for this company are absolutely sky high, 375 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 18: and there was heading into the numbers some expectation that 376 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 18: essentially a beat is a meat, right. People were expecting 377 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 18: them to beat expectations, and if they didn't completely blow 378 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 18: expectations out of the water, then there might be a 379 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 18: little bit of profit taking. That certainly looks like what 380 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 18: is happening now that the shares have been on such 381 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 18: a tear recent month, are as an opportunity for you know, 382 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 18: some investors to maybe just cash in a little bit 383 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 18: on that. It doesn't appear to be anything particularly catastrophic. 384 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 18: There's still a lot of growth left in this company. 385 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 18: The only question marketting forward is what is the exposure 386 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 18: to China? They want more exposure, but it looks as 387 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 18: though the government is cracking down on some of that. 388 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 18: How big an impact will that have. 389 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 390 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 391 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast b by six am 392 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 393 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 394 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 395 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 396 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 397 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: Bloomberg one six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety 398 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: sixty in San Francisco. 399 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 400 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
