Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: And I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 3: Karen will have more on the markets in a minute. First,

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 3: the latest on the war in the Middle East. As

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 3: tensions deepened between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: The two leaders are scheduled to speak by phone today.

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Amy Morris reports from Washington.

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 4: President Biden issued his most forceful criticism yet of Israel's

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 4: military conduct after the airstrike on a convoy of workers

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 4: from World Central Kitchen, a disaster relief group founded by

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 4: Chef jose Andres, saying he was outraged and heartbroken and

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: calling for swift investigations. The President also accusing Israel of

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: not doing enough to protect civilians.

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 5: Now.

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: Today's call will be the first between the two men

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: since the AID workers were killed. They last spoke on

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 4: March eighteenth in Washington. Amy Morris Bloomberg Radio, Amy, thank

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 4: you well.

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: Israel's Prime minister is facing more pressure from within his

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: own war cabinet. Benny Ganz, the former military commander who

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: now heads Israel's National Unity Party, is calling for early

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: elections in September rather than twenty twenty six as scheduled.

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Gansa's popularity has surged with Israeli voters, while Nettan Yahoo's

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: has dived. Now Netan Yaho's Likud party says early elections

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: would lead to paralysis, division and fatal damage to the

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: chances for a hostage deal, but Gan says it would

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: not dent Israel's war effort against Tamas and would prevent

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: a rift in the nation.

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: Well, now, Karen to the latest on US China relations.

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is on her way to China.

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: It'll be her second trip in nine months. Yellen spoke

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 3: to reporters in Alaska before leaving and have agreed.

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 6: That it's important to both of us that we don't

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 6: want to decouple our economies. We want to continue.

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 7: We think we both.

37
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 6: Benefit from trade and investment, but it needs to be

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 6: in the local playing field.

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: And while in China, Secretary Yellen will spend two days

40
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: in the southern commercial manufacturing hub of Guangzhou before heading

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: to Beijing for two more days of talks.

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: We turn to the economy now. Nathan Fedchaer, Jerome Powell

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: is reaffirming the Central Bank well likely lower rates this year,

44
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: and we get more from Bloomberg's John Tucker.

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 8: John and Karen Powell's comments at Stanford University helped calm

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 8: any market jitters.

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 9: The policy rate is likely at its peak for this

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 9: tightening cycle. If the economy evolves broadly as we expect,

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 9: most FMC participants see it as likely to be appropriate

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 9: to begin lowering the policy rate at some point this year.

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 8: Pal said. Recent inflation figures, though higher than expected, did

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 8: not materially change the overall picture. Investors are putting roughly

53
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 8: even odds on an initial rate cut in June, and

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 8: pricing does suggest they see a chance of fewer than

55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 8: three reductions this year. Next op investors will closely watch

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 8: non farm payroll data tomorrow for further clues on the

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 8: health of the USA economy and the likely path of

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 8: monetary policy. John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.

59
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: All right, John, thanks for all investors focused in on

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: j Powell. A busy week for Fed speak continues. We'll

61
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 3: hear from seven different FED officials at different events today. Yesterday,

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: FED Governor Adriana Kougler said lower rates are likely this year.

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: She said inflation could moderate further without significant cost to

64
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: jobs or economic growth this year, even.

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 10: With demand growth cooling. Given the backdrop of solid supply,

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 10: my baseline expectation is that further disiplation can be accomplished

67
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,279
Speaker 10: without a significant rise in unemployment.

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: In FED Governor Adriana Coogler made those comments yesterday at

69
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: Washington University in Saint.

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Louis Well plenty of company news this morning. Nathan Exon

71
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Mobiles says first quarter earnings will likely be lower than

72
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: in the prior three month period due to falling oil

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: and gas prices. We get details from Bloomberg's Turni Pillot.

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 11: In a filing, Exxon said it's upstream division will take

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 11: a hit of as much as one billion dollars from

76
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 11: lower oil and gas prices. Exon is the first of

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 11: the oil majors to publish earnings guidance for the first quarter.

78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 11: The expected drop in profit may signal a tougher earning

79
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 11: season ahead than the prior period, when four of the

80
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 11: five super majors comfortably beat handleist expectations despite lower commodity prices.

81
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 11: In New York, Charlie Pellett Bloomberg Radio.

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: All Right, Charlie thank you well, it's a big victory

83
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: for Bob Eiger. Walt Disney shareholders have handed the chief

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: executive officer a big vote of confidence, rejecting dissident investor

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 3: Nelson Peltz has been for a board seat at the

86
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 3: entertainment giant. Gatha Ranganatham covers Disney for Bloomberg Intelligence.

87
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 12: In terms of any near term changes, I think it's

88
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 12: just going to be business as usual. Obviously he comes

89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 12: out victorious. I think this is definitely going to supercharge

90
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 12: him and his efforts, but there is going to be continued.

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 12: I think watch on kind of how Disney performs, but

92
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 12: obvious sleep for today. I think mab Biger is definitely

93
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 12: very relieved.

94
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: Keith the Rong Andnathan of Bloomberg Intelligence says shareholders elected

95
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: all of Disney's choices for the board. Disney is the

96
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: best performing stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average this year.

97
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: It's up almost thirty two percent.

98
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: Nathan another media news Bloomberg News has learned Paramount Global,

99
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: the parent of CBS and MTV, is getting closer to

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: a deal to merge with independent producer David Ellison's sky

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: Dance Media. Hears a Paramount have declined for years, reflecting

102
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: the company's loss of TV viewers to other forms of

103
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: entertainment and its costly efforts to develop a streaming service.

104
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: We're keeping an eye on Apple, Karen. The tech giant

105
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: is exploring a move into personal robotics. Source to say

106
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: Apple engineers are looking for their next big thing after

107
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: canceling a major electric vehicle project.

108
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: In February, Bloomberg's Mark German broke the story.

109
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 13: This is very nascent, very early. Would be a home

110
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 13: robot that can follow you around. It would navigate autonomously

111
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 13: like the self driving car Apple was working on. It

112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 13: would have a focus on video conferencing, and there's even

113
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 13: been discussion internally. This is a pie in the sky idea.

114
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 13: The eventual peak of robotics could be the device being

115
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 13: able to do the dishes, clean the dishes in your sink,

116
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 13: on your.

117
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,280

00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: Mark German says Apple's advertising for robotics related roles on

119
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: its website, indicating that it's trying to expand teams working

120
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: on the project.

121
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,200

126
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: for growth and bolstering its stock price, which is lagged

127
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:46,120

148
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,600

151
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 14: twenty twenty four to the same time last year. Adams

152
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,840

00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 15: People were walking through the gate or attempting to walk

155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 15: through the gates so frequently, and one guy.

156
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: Told us what is transit is free, has been free

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: for weeks.

158
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,840

159
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 15: the expected behavior on our system. We're now taking that initiative.

160
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 14: Adam's also highlighted the one thousand additional uniformed officers into

00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 14: years of NATO.

164
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 16: Let us together protect all we built in seventy five

165
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 16: years under NATO's shield, and I'm sure that remains strong

166
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 16: to keep building for the next seventy five years and

167
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 16: well beyond that.

174
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: John, good morning, Good morning, Karen.

175
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 5: Rangers and Devils at the Garden. When they met last

176
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 5: month in Newark, there was an illegal hit by the

177
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: Rangers rookie and forcer, and Matt Rempy got suspended for it.

178
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 5: The Devils felt they didn't have a chance for adequate revenge.

179
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 5: So here's what took place. A second after the opening

180
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 5: face off, the.

181
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 17: Gloves are dropped. We've got a line brawl Jimmy Feci

182
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 17: and it looks like Curtis Lazaar, so I have to

183
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 17: set a redline. Meanwhile, Rempy and McDermott trump the gloves

184
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 17: outside the circle.

185
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,880

Speaker 17: Sean Marito.

189
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 5: He has been radied with the blow by blow. It

190
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 5: was the scene straight out of the movie Slap Shot.

191
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 5: The main event was a rempy against the Devil's Curtis McDermott.

192
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 5: They squared off for about ninety seconds, ten fighting penalties,

193
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 5: eight game misconducts, and then they played hockey and the

194
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 5: Rangers won four to three on a Chris Crader goal

195
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,760

201
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: They went six to one. Four of the wins were

202
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: nail biers.

203
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 5: They ended the trip beating the Diamondbacks six to five

Speaker 5: a Yankee for Verdugo Mets and Tigers. Another rain out,

207
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 5: at least this time. They made the call early on

208
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 5: doubleheaded this afternoon at City Field and the Dodgers five

209

Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager, waiting on what could be a tough

223
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: call for President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

224
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: The two leaders are set to speak by phone today,

225
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: just three days after the deadly strike on World Central

226
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: kitchen workers in Gaza that prompted some of the toughest

227
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: words yet from the President over Israel's conduct of its

228
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: war with Hummas. For the latest were joined by Bloomberg

229
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: News Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, good morning. We've seen

230
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: this shift in rhetoric that's been building from President Biden

231
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: really since this war began. It almost seems like this

232
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 3: incident that killed those seven World Central Kitchen workers has

233
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: really brought things to a head.

234
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 7: Yeah.

235
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 18: I think it's the latest blow in a very very

236
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 18: strained relationship, particularly between these two leaders. And you know,

237
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 18: we've heard for weeks the White House and President Biden

238
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 18: himself calling for a different approach, particularly with so many

239
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 18: people huddled in the southern Gaza city of Rafa now

240
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 18: in Israel, saying it will continue to go forward with

241
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 18: plans for some kind of a ground invasion. And so

242
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 18: this call today is going to be the kind of

243
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 18: the latest chapter in that between between these two leaders.

244
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 18: The real question is, though, whether whether the US pressure

245
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 18: ends up really going beyond the public rhetoric and whether

246
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 18: it starts to hold off on some of these kind

247
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 18: of big ticket weapons sales or weapons provisions to Israel

248
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 18: that have always kind of defined the relationship. So far,

249
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 18: the Biden administration hasn't been willing to go that far.

250
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 18: There has been some talk around the margins about doing so,

251
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 18: but nothing serious.

252
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: And so.

253
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 18: The latest strike has drawn a lot of criticisms, but

254
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 18: it hasn't fundamentally changed what's happening on the back side

255
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,239
Speaker 18: of the relationship.

256
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 7: Now.

257
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: That is the real question, isn't it, Bill, Because we

258
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: have seen this sort of growing divide between the rhetoric

259
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: that we're hearing from the president and the policy still

260
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: continuing for US support. But President Biden, as you say,

261
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 3: is really starting to feel pressure even from within his

262
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: own party, some powerful senators saying that the US should

263
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: use its leverage when it comes to weapons to try

264
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: to go to Israel in a different direction.

265
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 18: Absolutely, there's a lot of political pressure on the president

266
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 18: from both sides really on this now, but particularly in

267
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 18: his party. You have young voters who are really mobilized

268
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 18: by this issue, by the war, who are much more

269
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 18: likely to have some sympathy for the Palestinian cause here

270
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 18: and many of those voters are in some key swing

271
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 18: states that the president will have to win if he

272
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 18: wants to take the election in November. So I think

273
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 18: it's you know, on the other hand, you have an

274
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 18: Israeli Prime minister who hasn't shown much signs of backing down.

275
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 18: So I don't know how you thread that needle. I

276
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 18: don't know that these two leaders are going to have

277
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 18: any kind of a big breakthrough today, but it will

278
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 18: be I'm sure a very frank conversation about their disagreements.

279
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 14: Now.

280
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: Bill, of course, you're based in Singapore, so not too

281
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 3: far in relative terms from what's happening in Taiwan after

282
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: the deadly earthquake there. Can you get us caught up

283
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: on the recovery.

284
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 7: Sure.

285
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 18: We just had an update from the emergency personnel running

286
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 18: the rescue operations. They've raised the death toll so far

287
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 18: from this quake to ten people. It's the worst quake

288
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 18: that Taiwan has suffered in about twenty five years, but

289
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 18: it does seem like a lot it could have been

290
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 18: much worse if not for a lot of building code

291
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 18: changes and things like that that came into effect. And

292
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,119
Speaker 18: after that nineteen ninety nine quake, there are still people stranded,

293
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 18: potentially trapped, but it does seem like in terms of

294
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 18: the human costs that it's topped out.

295
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 14: So far.

296
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 18: The economy seems to be getting back on track. You

297
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 18: heard from TSMC, one of the world's most important semiconductor

298
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 18: chip producers, that they are getting their operations back online.

299
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 18: We do expect to hear at some point an impact

300
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 18: on terms of their deliveries and sales, but that will

301
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 18: be pretty limited given how quickly they are able to

302
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 18: get these factories going again.

303
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: Okay, Bill, thanks for this.

304
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,480
