00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,360

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,840

Speaker 2: next month to stay competitive.

53
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 7: What I do think I need to do is I

54
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 7: need to show that I'm building momentum. I need to

55
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 7: show that I'm stronger in South Carolina than New Hampshire.

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,440

57
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 7: that necessarily has to be a win, but it certainly

58
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 7: has to be better than what I did New Hampshire,

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 7: and it certainly has to be close.

60
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,800

97
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,720

98
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,119
Speaker 10: been a long and winding road to this winding up order,

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,840

100
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 10: shares dropped twenty one percent before being suspended. The liquidator

101
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 10: is likely to face a daunting process. Though most emigrant

102
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 10: projects are operated by local units, it could be difficult

103

00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: That's after Phillips reached an agreement with the US Food

Speaker 6: the public trust. House Republicans released two articles of impeachment

139
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 6: yes yesterday. The House Homelands Charity Committee is scheduled to

140
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 6: meet tomorrow to determine if it will move impeachment to

141

147
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,960

Speaker 5: House Speaker Mike Johnson, however, is indicated the deal would

149
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,760

Speaker 6: by some Democrats to keep third party candidates off the ballot.

158
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: When you try to suppress choice and voice, it tends

159
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: to backfire.

160
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 6: He also urged Democrats to check the platform of the

161
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 6: No Label's third party movement, saying it literally quote it

162
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 6: reads as the accomplishment list of the Biden Harris administration.

163
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 6: He called no labels a solution in search of a problem.

164
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 6: President Biden says the US will respond after three American

165
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 6: service members were killed in an overnight drone attack in Jordan.

166
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 6: Biden held a moment of silence for the soldiers killed

167
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 6: during an event in a South Carolina yesterday, calling it

168
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 6: a tough day in the Middle East. The White House

169
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 6: is blaming radical Iran backed militant groups for that strike.

183
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 11: Conference Championships Sunday began in Baltimore, first championship game played

184
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 11: there since nineteen seventy one. The Chiefs the Tenning Super

185
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 11: Bowl champs, but the Ravens the favorites based on a

186
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 11: regular season where they outscored the opponent by more than

187
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 11: two hundred points, and yet Kansas City started the game

188
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 11: with touchdown drives that covered eighty six and seventy five yards.

189
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 11: The second one lasted nine minutes. They led seventeen to

190
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 11: seven at halftime, and the AFC title game remained scoreless

191
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 11: until a late Baltimore field goal. Chiefs won seventeen to ten.

192
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 11: They're going to the Super Bowl fourth time in the

193
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 11: last five years, and in Las Vegas they'll try to

194
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 11: win their third. The first win came when they beat

195
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 11: the forty nine Ers four years ago. They will play

196
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 11: them again. The Niners NFC champs, with a huge comeback

197
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 11: at home on Detroit trailed twenty four to seven and a

198
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 11: half time, and then scored the next twenty seven points

199
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 11: to win thirty four to thirty one. They had seventeen

200
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 11: points in an eight minute span. The Lions helped them

201
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 11: out a costly fumble, two incomplete passes on fourth down

202
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 11: at tempt when they could have tried a makeable field goal.

203
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 11: The Lions' best season in sixty six years comes to

204
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 11: an end. The Niners have been made a very slight

205
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 11: favorite to beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl fifty eight.

206
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 11: Twenty two year old Yannick Singer, Australian Open champion, only

207
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 11: the second time in Italian has won a men's singles

208
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 11: Grand Slam in the.

209
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: First and forty eight years.

210
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 11: He came from two sets down to beat the Neil Medvedet,

211
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 11: top two in college basketball. Both won Yukon by forty

212
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 11: three over Xavier Perdue one at lucer. John Stashwa Bloomberg

228
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 12: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. President Biden is vowing the

229
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 12: US will respond in a time and manner of its choosing,

230
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 12: following the killings of three US soldiers in a drone

231
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 12: strike in northeast Jordan. These are the first American deaths

232
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 12: under enemy fire since the start of the Israel Hamas War,

233
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 12: and they risk precisely the kind of escalation in the

234
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 12: Middle East that this president has been trying to avoid.

235
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 12: So for more we are joined now by Bloomberg News

236
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 12: Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, the President does face a

237
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 12: very difficult decision after this drone attack. What are his

238
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 12: options now, Well.

239
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 13: You're right, Nathan, the US has vowed to respond to

240
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 13: this attack. As you said, it's the first America deaths

241
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 13: of American soldiers since this war started. And I think

242
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 13: it's going to have to be a very delicate response

243
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 13: because these are proxy groups and not actually you know,

244
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 13: Iranian military or the Iranian government directly behind them. I

245
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 13: think that's going to require the US to do some

246
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 13: sort of calibration. It can look at targeting facilities that

247
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 13: these different groups have in places like in places like Syria, Iraq,

248
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 13: and even in Iran, but it probably has to distinguish

249
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 13: its response from attacking an attack on Iran directly or

250
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 13: on Iranian government facilities, because once you have a nation

251
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 13: state going against another nation state, that would be exactly

252
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 13: the kind of escalation that I think the US and

253
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 13: a lot of other countries have sought to avoid. There

254
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 13: also could very well be a very covert response to this.

255
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 13: There could be some sort of a you know, the

256
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 13: big hacking attack that's unleashed on ira facilities. There could

257
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 13: be other things going on behind the scenes. But I

258
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 13: think the fact that you have three US troops killed,

259
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 13: I think that requires something of a public response as well.

260
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 13: So you could have both, but there is likely to

261
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 13: be some sort of a public response.

262
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: It does sound though, like the kind of options that

263
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: you laid out are similar to what the US has

264
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: been mounting against the Hooti rebels in Yemen to try

265
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: to deter the red sea attacks. But at this point

266
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem to have had much effect on red

267
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: sea shipping right.

268
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 13: I think, you know, the administration's argument has been that

269
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 13: they're hitting these stockpiles of weapons that the Jutis had.

270
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 13: They're they're hitting different facilities, they're looking at a missile

271
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 13: launchers right before right when they're loaded up, and that

272
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 13: it will over time they will have, you know, significantly

273
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 13: degraded the UTI's ability to do this. But you're you're right,

274
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 13: it hasn't stopped them. If they can just get one

275
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 13: missile off that hits a ship, they've kind of achieved

276
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 13: their goal in that kind of attack. So it's very

277
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 13: hard to shut that down entirely. And the big question

278
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 13: is on this latest incident is if they do hit

279
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,359
Speaker 13: a proxy, Iranian proxy's facilities or personnel or weapons depots,

280
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 13: will that really be enough to make those groups think twice?

281
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: And in the meantime, the US is trying to de

282
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: escalate things in the Gaza Strip and foster further negotiations

283
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: between Israel and Hamas in getting hostages released. We had

284
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: a summit in Paris over the weekend. What's the sense

285
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: about how that's going well.

286
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 13: I think you're right, the latest tensions with Iran could

287
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 13: really work to derail that. What we're seeing come out

288
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 13: of these talks so far is there's reports that a

289
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 13: deal could be underway that would involve basically a cessation

290
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 13: of the conflict in Gaza. For weeks, possibly more than

291
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 13: a month, we had Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah who

292
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 13: come out and saying that the sides are very far

293
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 13: apart at this point. But it is, you know, I

294
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 13: think it is. It's a positive that there's some of

295
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 13: these discussions going on. I don't think you're going to

296
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 13: hear either side budge until they get right up to

297
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 13: an agreement and are ready to announce. But this latest

298
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 13: attack on the US forces and the possible escalation with Iran,

299
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 13: that will throw a lot of this into question. If

300
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 13: there is, if there is a broader conflict, Iran is

301
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 13: likely to strike out at a range of targets and

302
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 13: that's not gonna that's really not going to make things

303
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 13: easier in Gaza.

304
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: So in our last minute, are we hearing anything further

305
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: from US or Israeli allies about how they could respond

306
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 3: to what's been happening with the US soldiers killed as

307
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: well as with what's happening in the Gaza strip.

308
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 13: Well, there's been you know, the condemnation you would expect,

309
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 13: and also you know, a plea from Jordan for more

310
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 13: more weapons and defensive weapons to help it sort of

311
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 13: protect its borders. This this latest attack to place up

312
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 13: in the northeast corner of Jordan, and it's close to

313
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,280
