1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: Good morning.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: stories we're following today, Karen.

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 3: Middle East tensions maybe ramping back up. Israeli military officials

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 3: are saying they have no choice but to respond to

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 3: Iran's drone and missile attack over the weekend, but the

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 3: US and European allies are urging Israel to avoid the

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 3: kind of tit for tat that could spark a wider

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: war here. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller.

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 4: Israel is a sovereign country. They have to make their

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 4: own decisions about how best to defend themselves. What we

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 4: always try to do is provide our best advice as

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 4: a longtime friend of Israel and a longtime ally and

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 4: partner of Israel. And that's what we've done since October seventh,

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 4: across a broad range of fronts. It's what we have

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 4: done over the weekend.

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: Matthew Miller at the State Department says the Biden administration

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: has put more than five hundred sanctions on Iranian entities

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: to hold Tehran accountable.

21
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: But for Israel, Nathan, the question isn't if the country response.

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: But how more on that From Bloomberg's Rosalind Madison.

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 5: There's a wide range of possibilities here. From a direct attack,

24
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 5: as you say, from Israel on Iran, that would not

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 5: be unprecedented, but that's one option for them, targeting military sites,

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: perhaps even nuclear.

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 6: Sites in Iran.

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 5: Of course, there's a lot of concern about Iran's nuclear program,

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 5: or does it go for something instead, like going for

30
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 5: one of Iran's proxies in the region. We're talking about

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 5: the Huthis in Yemen, We're talking about Hamas in Gaza,

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 5: Hezblah in Lebanon. Do they go through one of those

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 5: proxies to retaliate.

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Rauslin Madison reports are timing of an Israeli response

35
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: also is not clear. Iran's deputy Foreign Minister is warning

36
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: any Israeli counterattack would be met with a more severe,

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: faster and immediate blow. He says it would take seconds

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: for his country to launch another strike.

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: Well, Karen, the turmoil in the Middle East has added

40
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: new urgency to passing Foreign aid in the House after

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: months of inaction. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter reports votes could come

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: this week.

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 7: Speaker Mike Johnson is planning separate votes this week on

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 7: new aid to both Israel and Ukraine. This in an

45
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 7: attempt to assemble fragile coalitions to speed weaponry to both places.

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 8: We have a terrorist in tyrants and terrible leaders around

47
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 8: the world like Putin and g and in Iran, and

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 8: they're watching to see if America will stand up for

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 8: its allies in our own interest around the globe, and

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 8: we will.

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 7: Now, his party majority is very slim, and he may

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 7: need Democrat support, and he very well may get it.

53
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 7: The mpasse over eight has been dragging on since October.

54
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 7: At Baxter Bloomberg.

55
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: Radio, all right, ed, thank you now to the historic

56
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: criminal case involving former President Donald Trump. Jury selection continues today.

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Law host June Garasso has the latest from New York.

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 9: Trump's criminal trial got off to a slow start. The

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 9: jury selection process began hours late because of a slew

60
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 9: of motions. The trial judge had to handle first, and

61
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 9: then more than half of the first pool of ninety

62
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 9: six perspective jurors was dismissed after saying they couldn't be

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 9: fair and impartial. Court adjourned for the day with zero

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 9: jurors chosen, and the judge saying we're way behind schedule.

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 9: Jury selection resumes this morning, June Grosso, Bloomberg Radio, All right, June.

66
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 7: Thank you.

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: While Trump deals with those legal issues, President Biden's hitting

68
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: the campaign trail in his childhood home state of Pennsylvania.

69
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: The Biden campaign says the trip aims to highlight the

70
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: differences between the president's tax and economic agenda and the

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: policies of Trump, who oversaw tax cuts for the wealthy

72
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: and corporations. Biden's three day trip includes a visit to

73
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: Scranton and events in the Pittsburgh area, where Nippon Steele's

74
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: deal to buy United States Steel has rankled union allies.

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: The president will close out the trip Thursday in Philadelphia.

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 10: Well.

77
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: Turning to Wall Street Now Nathan. First quarter earnings for

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the nation's biggest banks wrap up later this morning with

79
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: Bank of America and Morgan Stanley. Bloomberg's Jeff Ellinger has

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: a look at what to expect for.

81
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 11: Bank of America. A key number to watch net interest income,

82
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 11: which alone is forecast to be about fourteen billion dollars,

83
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 11: about two percent lower than a year ago. Consensus calls

84
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 11: for total revenue of twenty five point forty three billion

85
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 11: and adjusted earnings per share of seventy seven cents. As

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 11: for Morgan Stanley, a jump in investment banking activity may

87
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 11: help offset and expected pullback in earnings for the ninth

88
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 11: quarter in a row, although the pace of declines likely slowed.

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 11: Consensus calls for revenue of fourteen point forty six billion

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 11: and adjusted earnings per share of a dollar sixty six.

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 11: Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg Radio, Jeff.

92
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: Thank you well after another strong reading on retail sales.

93
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 3: Another FED official says there's no rush to cut interest

94
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: rates here. San Francisco FED President Mary Daily added event

95
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, the.

96
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 12: Worst thing we can do right now is act urgently

97
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 12: when urgent isn't necessary. You know, the policy is in

98
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 12: a good place. We're in the ready position. We can

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 12: respond as the economy evolved. The labor market's not and

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 12: giving us any indication is faltering, and inflation is still

101
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 12: above our target, and we need to be confident it

102
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 12: is on path to come down to our target before

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 12: we would feel the need and I would feel the

104
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 12: need to react.

105
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: San Francisco FED chief Mary Daily votes on monetary policy

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: this year well.

107
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: In Europe, Nathan Britain's unemployment rate rose unexpectedly to a

108
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: six month high. We get more from a UK economic

109
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: correspondent Lizzie Burden.

110
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 13: Unemployment was expected to tick up, Actually it went from

111
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 13: three point nine percent to four point two percent rather

112
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 13: than just four percent. But on the other hand, you

113
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 13: had average weekly earnings expected to tick down from six

114
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 13: point one percent to five point eight percent. Actually they

115
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 13: only went to six percent, so hotter than I expected.

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 13: So it's mixed signals here. From the labor market.

117
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: Data, Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden says the labor numbers come ahead

118
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: of tomorrow's March reading on consumer prices.

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: We got some new economic data out of Asia Karen

120
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: China's economic growth beat expectations in the first quarter as

121
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 3: factory output led the expansion. Bloomberg Daybreak Asia anchor Brian

122
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 3: Curtis has more from Hong Kong.

123
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 14: GDP rows five point three percent year on year. That's

124
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 14: higher than the estimate of four point eight percent. In March,

125
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 14: industrial production was up four and a half percent from

126
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 14: a year earlier, versus a forecast of six percent. Retail

127
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 14: sales rose three point one percent, missing an estimate of

128
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 14: four point eight percent. China's recovery has been out of balance.

129
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 14: Manufacturing holding up, but the property crisis is denting both

130
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 14: household and business confidence in Hong Kong. Brian Curtis, Bloomberg Radio.

131
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, thank you, and it's time now for

132
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: a look at some of the other stories making news

Speaker 2: change before final approval. Soaring rents and upcoming elections are

145
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: key factors driving state lawmakers to forge an agreement with

146
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: Democratic Governor Kathy Hogel, A year after she failed to

147
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: advance a proposal aimed at building eight hundred thousand new

148
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,880

157
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,120

Speaker 10: talking about are Trump abortion bans, and he can't get

159
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 10: away from that.

160
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 16: In the wink of the Arizona Supreme Court decision, now

161
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 16: California is bracing for an influx of women seeking abortion.

162
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 16: The Supreme Court will weigh the legality of charges brought

163
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 16: against hundreds of people in connection with the attack of

164
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 16: the US capital. The question for the justices is whether

165
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 16: law passed as part of the Sarbanes Oxley Financial reforms

166
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 16: can be read to cover the January sixth riot. Hundreds

167
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 16: of people, including Donald Trump, have been charge with obstructing

168
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 16: and official proceeding. Global news twenty four hours a day

00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 16: John Tucker. This he is Bloomberg, Nathan and Karen.

171
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: Sorry, John, thank you, and it's time now for the

172
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Sports Update with John stas Shower.

173
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 17: John, Good morning, Good morning, Caaren. A terrific regular season

174
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 17: for the Rangers. Right from the start. They won eighteen

175
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 17: of their first twenty three games. It ended at the

176
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 17: Guard with a four to nothing shut out of Ottawa,

177
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 17: and the Rangers finished with a club record one one

178
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 17: hundred and fourteen points. That's the most in the NHL.

179
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 17: Their first round opponent could still be one of four

180
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 17: different teams Washington and Detroit at eighty nine points, Pittsburgh

181
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 17: has eighty eight, Philadelphia eighty seven. With one game left,

182
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 17: Islanders are in the playoffs fifth time in the last

183
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 17: six years. They finished seven and one down the stretch,

184
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 17: beat the Devils four to one. The Islanders will face

185
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 17: Carolina in Round one. Bruins failed to clinch their division

186
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 17: lost to nothing in Washington. The Mats, who began the

187
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 17: season ze five and now eight and eight to come

188
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 17: from behind sixty three win over the Pirates at City Field.

189
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 17: The Mets allowed only three hits. Yankees had only four,

190
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 17: so did the Blue Jays, but Toronto won three to one.

191
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 17: Chris Bassett beat Louis Heal, the Yanks first two game

192
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 17: losing streak of the season. The Big Yankee news the

193
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 17: retirement effective immediately of John's early in the radio Voice

194
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 17: of the Ink the last thirty six years. He's eighty five,

195
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 17: says he's tired. He'll be honored at the stadium on Saturday.

196
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 17: In Brooklyn, they held the WNBA Draft. Has there ever

197
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 17: been any draft with less suspense over who the first

198
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 17: pick will be? Caitlyn Clark headed to the Indiana Fever.

199
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 18: All this has come with just the person that I've

200
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 18: i am and the player that I've been able to be,

201
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 18: And that's exactly how you want to go into the WNBAS.

202
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 18: Don't change anything that I've done, obviously learn it's at

203
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 18: finding ways to get better. You know, people are going

204
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 18: to expose my weaknesses. But that's an amazing thing about it.

205
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 18: That's the challenge that I wanted.

206
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 17: The WNBA announced they not only is San Francisco getting

207
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 17: the team next season, they hope to add three more

208
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 17: expansion teams by twenty twenty eight. Offseason workouts with the

209
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 17: Giants and Daniel Jones says he'll be ready for the

210
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 17: start of training camp back to the torny ACL. He

211
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 17: also says he's not concerned that the Giants might draft

212
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 17: a quarterback. Two weeks some Thursday, Giants had the sixth pick.

213
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 17: John Stashedware Bloomberg Sports, Karen Nathan all.

214
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: Right, John, thank you, SMP. Futures that'll change now. So

215
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: we're a NASDAK yours down. Feutures down to tenth of

216
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: a percent or forty points, and the ten year treasury

217
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: yield is that four point sixty four percent.

218
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 7: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM, and.

219
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 2: Around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the Bloomberg

220
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning.

221
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager. The world is waiting for Israel's response

222
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 3: to Iran's weekend drone and missile attack, even as Allies

223
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 3: ramp up their calls for restraint and avoiding the kind

224
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: of tit for tet response that could spiral into a

225
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: wider conflict in the Middle East. For more, Bloomberg Israel

226
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: Bureau chief Ethan Bronner is back with us from Tel Aviv. Ethan,

227
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: good morning. We're hearing Israeli military officials say they have

228
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: no choice but to respond. What is the appetite in

229
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: Israel for a counter attack.

230
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 10: It's a bit diffuse. I mean, they actually published a

231
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 10: poll on one of the Channel TV channels this morning

232
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 10: showing that it's about a third to third to third,

233
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 10: meaning do it right now, do it later, don't do it.

234
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 10: So it's not like there's some overwhelming public pressure for

235
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 10: a response. I think that a lot of Israelis were

236
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 10: grateful for the cooperation the United States, UK and France

237
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 10: and even some Arab neighbors gave in stopping that big

238
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 10: attack on Saturday night. And they've kind of been in

239
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 10: the doghouse in terms of how the world has seen

240
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 10: them because of their war in Gaza, and I think

241
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 10: that that has been satisfying to be embraced again and

242
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 10: to see the coalition as the way forward. But you know,

243
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 10: at the same time, they do worry this was the

244
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 10: first time that Iran has ever shot from its own

245
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 10: soil at Israel, and the sense that if you don't

246
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 10: respond that somehow you're telling them you're weak. So that's

247
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 10: kind of the debate that's going on all day, all

248
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 10: night here, and I don't know how it's going to

249
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 10: sort itself out now.

250
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: Of course, the debate that allies are trying to add

251
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 3: to this is that cooler heads should prevail. We've heard

252
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: from the White House saying that Netanyahu should quote take

253
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: the win. How much is that playing into this, Well,

254
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: I think.

255
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 10: It is playing into it. I mean, I don't think

256
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 10: it's unimportant. I think that as I say that, the

257
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 10: sense that the United States is back again embracing the

258
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 10: Israel and sharing in its defense needs and so on

259
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 10: is important to people. It's the most important alliance that

260
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 10: this country has.

261
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 17: But you know, there's this kind.

262
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 10: Of old debate here, which is do we want to

263
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 10: be loved by our friends or feared by our enemies.

264
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 10: If we have to choose, we'll choose feared by our enemies. Now,

265
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 10: the remaining question is is hitting back the best way

266
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 10: to be feared? And I think that's part of the debate.

267
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 3: Too interesting We've also heard from Israeli military officials who've

268
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 3: spoken to Bloomberg Radio saying that they've presented another a

269
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 3: number of options to the war cabinet. What could a

270
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: potential Israeli response look like at this point?

271
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 19: Well, I mean, there are all these range of options,

272
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 19: right from doing nothing to shall we say, some kind

273
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 19: of a quote unquote soft attack like a cyber attack.

274
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 10: Then maybe a hit upon a military facility somewhere, or

275
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 10: a hit upon facilities belonging to proxies e. Lebanon or

276
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 10: Syria or Iraq. Those are rather than, of course, you know,

277
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 10: an assassination of some kind or indeed some kind of

278
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 10: attack on their nuclear facilities, which seems rather exceptionally unlikely.

279
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 10: But you know, those are the ranges. So and all

280
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 10: that's being debated, and.

281
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: The US has said that it won't support Israel when

282
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: it comes to a direct counter attack. Among those options.

283
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 3: Is there a sense within the war cabinet that there

284
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: are options that the US and its allies would get behind.

285
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 10: There probably is, but they haven't shared it with me,

286
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 10: and I've been trying to find out. My sense is

287
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 10: that they do want to not cross the US in

288
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 10: what they do. They want it to be seen as

289
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 10: something that the US can accept and permit, and so

290
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 10: that's where they're going through that. I think, you know,

291
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 10: if there were a cyber attack, if there were an

292
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 10: attack on proxies or something, you know, I'm assuming that

293
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 10: the Americans would not necessarily say absolutely no way, But

294
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 10: I don't know. You know, those are debates that are

295
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 10: going on at a very high level, and I think

296
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 10: that there's probably a great deal of uncertainty in the

297
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 10: US administration and in the Israeli government about what should

298
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 10: or what could happen.

299
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,000
