1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Good morning.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 3: We begin with the fight for Ukraine funding in Washington.

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelenski was in the nation's capital yesterday

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 3: pleading with lawmakers to approve sixty one billion dollars in

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 3: aid for his war effort against Russia, but he left

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: with no clear commitment. President Zelenski says any delays in

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: extra funding benefit Putin and threatened the rest of the world.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 4: And this moto resonates not only in our country, not

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 4: only in our hearts, not only in Ukraine, but also

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 4: in Poland and Baltic States, Moldova and others. When freedom

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 4: is strong in one country, it is strong everywhere.

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: President Zelenski spoke alongside President Biden, who vowed the US

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: will come through to stop Vladimir Putin.

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 5: Today Ukraine's freedom is on the line. But if we

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 5: don't stop Putin andlling danger the freedom of everyone almost everywhere,

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 5: pun will keeping and would be aggressors everywhere will be

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 5: emboldened to try to take what they can by force.

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 3: The President Biden says Congress must pass supplemental funding for Ukraine,

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: but that support is stalled. Congressional Republicans are demanding support

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: for border security as part of any deal. Meanwhile, a

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: Russian missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kiev this morning has

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: left dozens injured.

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, we're also closely following the ongoing war between

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas, and we're seeing a divide on that front.

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: There is a split in thinking between the US and Israel,

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: and it's made its way into public view and Bloomberg's

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: and Baxter joins us with that story.

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 6: President Biden very openly saying that Prime Minister Netanya, who

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 6: has to change our risk losing international support. He's referring

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 6: to two things. First that after the war, Israel must

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 6: be thinking about accepting the Palestinian authority and second, in

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 6: the way in which the war is currently prosecuted.

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 5: Attempting to do everything possible to prevent innocent palace to

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 5: the incidents from being being hurt murdered, kil.

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,279
Speaker 6: Lost that Yahoo in response, says he will not accept

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 6: Palo standing authority rule. Meanwhile, the UN General Assembly has

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 6: voted a call for US cease fire at Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: Okay and thank you. Meanwhile, House Republicans plan to vote

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: today on formalizing their ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: The move will force lawmakers to take a public position

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: on the investigations. Speaker Mike Johnson says formal approval will

44
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: help him enforce subpoenas for the House committees that are

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: investigating Biden family businesses.

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: Well. Turning to the economy, now, Nathan, all eyes are

47
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: on inflation and the Fed. Today we get the Producer

48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: Price Index at eight thirty Wall Street time. Then this

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: afternoon we hear from Fed Chair j Powell after the

50
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: Federal Reserve makes its final interest rate decision of twenty

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: twenty three. Dana Peterson, chief economist at the Conference Board,

52
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: thinks the Fed's done hiking rates, but may only cut

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: rates a couple times next year.

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 7: We think anywhere from fifty two hundred basis points makes sense,

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 7: especially if inflation, according to the SEP, doesn't get beyond

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 7: two percent before the end of next year.

57
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: The Conference Boards Dana Peterson thinks the Federal Reserve will

58
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: reach its goal of two percent inflation, it can't cut

59
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: rates too much in twenty twenty four and follow Bloomberg

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: all day for coverage of the FED decision. Live coverage

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: begins ahead of J. Powell's or marked with a special

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 2: edition of Bloomberg Surveillance at one thirty Wall Street time

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: on Bloomberg Radio and Television.

64
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: In Company News this morning, Karen elon Musk's X, the

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 3: social network formerly known as Twitter, is set to bring

66
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: in roughly two and a half billion dollars in ad

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: revenue in twenty twenty three. Bloomberg Tech reporter Kurt Wagner

68
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: says this is a significant slump from prior years. He

69
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: thinks Musk's personal tweets are scaring off advertisers.

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 8: Musk seems to not really be aware that his own

71
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 8: behavior is having this dramatic impact, or if he is,

72
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 8: he just simply doesn't care. But I think that's really

73
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 8: the issue, more than anything, is that he's not really

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 8: giving advertisers a good enough reason to come back.

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Kurt Wagner says AD dollars account for seventy to

76
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: seventy five percent of excess total revenue.

80
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: as it looks to increased disclosure of audience and data.

81
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: The Night Agent took the number one spot, followed by

82

Speaker 3: fuel use while bringing Saudi Arabia and other oil producers

89
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: on board. This outcome breaks new ground. No previous COP

90
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: text has mentioned fully moving away from oil and gas.

98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,240

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,320

00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,560

Speaker 12: the Warrior Draymond Green has been ejected from a game

167
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 12: three different times. Happens last night in Phoenix when Draymond

168
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 12: hit the Sun's use of Nurcic in the head. Draymond

169
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 12: did apologize after the game, but said the hit was unintentional.

170
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 12: The Sons beat the Warriors one nineteen one sixteen. Devin

171
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 12: Brokers scored thirty two. Bradley Beeal back in the Phoenix lineup.

172
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 12: He's been out the last nineteen games they played last

173
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 12: night without Kevin Durant. Celtics now eleven I at home.

174
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 12: Jayson Tatum scored twenty five and a one twenty one

175
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 12: thirteen win over Cleveland. Denver won at Chicago won fourteen

176
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 12: one oh six, despite the Nuggets star in Nikola joki

177
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 12: Is getting ejected late second quarter. The Stars were out

178
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 12: in Dallas. Lebron James scored thirty three, but so did

179
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 12: Luka Don says he had seventeen assistantspite playing with a

180
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 12: bad back. The MAVs topped the Lakers by two. The

181
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 12: Clippers beat the Kings by twenty. Duke at eighty nine

182
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 12: sixty eight win over Hastra in college hoops. The NFL

183
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 12: game tomorrow is the Chargers and the Raiders, and the

184
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 12: Chargers quarterback will be Easton Stick, a relative unknown out

185
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 12: of North Dakota State. Justin Herbert has a broken finger.

186
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 12: He's happy surgery, he's done for the year, and a

187
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 12: quarterback change in Minnesota or Joshua Dobbs had done well

188
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 12: since the Vikings acquired him following the season ending loss

189
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 12: to Kirk Cousins, but Dobbs has struggled lately. Nick Mullins

190
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 12: will be the starter for the Vikings Saturday against Cincinnati.

191
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 12: The Giants have signed a Korean outfielder, Young Hu Lead

192
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 12: of a six year contract. John Stashedwer Bloomberg Sports.

193
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 13: From coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco,

194
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 13: Boston to Washington, d C. Nationwide on Syrias Exam, the

Speaker 13: Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

196
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Geopolitics has turned a lot

197
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: more complicated for both the wars in Ukraine and the

198
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: Middle East. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has moved on to

199
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 3: Scandinavia this morning, has bid to drummer more support for

200
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 3: his country's fight against Russia from Washington, d C has

201
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: come up mostly empty handed, and the question of what

202
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 3: comes after Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza has opened

203
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: up a rift between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister

204
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: Benjamin Natan Yahoo that is turning more and more public.

205
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 3: All issues we're going to discuss now with Rosalind Mathison,

206
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: Bloomberg Goose Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

207
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: Good to speak with you, Roz this morning. I understand

208
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: from warsaw so the war in Ukraine is certainly much

209
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: of a focus for you today. I mean, it's really

210
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: interesting to think about how much has changed in just

211
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: a year when Zelenski got this rock star reception in Washington,

212
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: D C. This week, not so much.

213
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 14: Well, that's right, it was actually for anything. It just

214
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 14: reinforced the struggles that are going on for Ukraine to

215
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 14: get further commitments of aid, be it financial aid or

216
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 14: military aid. I mean the previous trips he's done to

217
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 14: the US, as you said, almost treated like a rock

218
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 14: star and other parts of the world, addressing parliaments, RAUCUS

219
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 14: crowds and so on. And now you know more and

220
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 14: more that the conversation is turning tricky. The red carpet

221
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 14: is thinning out. The US President is clearly trying very

222
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 14: hard to get something done for Ukraine before the end

223
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 14: of the year in terms of funding and appearing together

224
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 14: as you said yesterday and in Washington in that regard,

225
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 14: but it only again highlighted that Congress is pretty much

226
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 14: stuck and saying no, we're very unlikely to produce this

227
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 14: aid before the end of the year. And then, of

228
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 14: course you get further into the US election cycle and

229
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 14: becomes even more complicated. And over in Brussels, EU leaders

230
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 14: are meeting from tomorrow. They're gathering later today to also

231
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 14: discuss whether they can unlock further aid for Ukraine, and

232
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 14: that's very much bogged down because of objections from countries

233
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 14: including Hungary. So what you've got is a picture where

234
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 14: Ukraine's going into another winter, the war is soon going

235
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 14: to enter its third year, and nothing really is moving

236
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 14: for Ukraine on any of these fronts.

237
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: Well, what could it mean for Ukraine if it's unable

238
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: to unlock this aid from the US and from Europe,

239
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: What could it mean for conditions on the ground. I mean,

240
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: we've seen this work pretty much move into a stalemate

241
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: at this point.

242
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 14: Well, that's right, and of course there's now talk of

243
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 14: what can there be a different spring offensive in the

244
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 14: next spring, and for that they would need those weapons.

245
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 14: But certainly the fighting is moving very slowly on the ground.

246
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 14: Russia is not making masses of territory, but they're certainly

247
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 14: not losing a lot of it either, and as time

248
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 14: goes on it becomes harder and harder harder to dislodge them.

249
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 14: We've seen fresh missile attacks overnight on some of the

250
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 14: key cities as well, and going into winter, the sense

251
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 14: that Russia is going to target again things like energy infrastructure.

252
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 14: The idea is just to make Ukrainians as miserable as

253
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 14: possible through the winter, so you're going to make them

254
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 14: feel very, very cold for a start, and so there's

255
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 14: a sense of fatigue they're creeping in in some quarters

256
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 14: in Ukraine. And that opens the very thorny question that

257
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 14: people are asking and will be asked, no doubt, even

258
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 14: more so in political halls next year, and is that

259
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 14: at some point does there need to be a move

260
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 14: towards the negotiation.

261
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if we can call it a question

262
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 3: of fatigue. When it comes to the war between Israel

263
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: and Hamas in Gaza. We're only a little more than

264
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: two months into it, but we are seeing that situation

265
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: turn a lot more complicated as well when it comes

266
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 3: to how the Gaza strip could be administered if Israel

267
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: succeeds in defeating Hamas well.

268
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 9: That's right.

269
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 14: You saw really the most strident comments I think so

270
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 14: far from the US President yesterday directed at the Israeli

271
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 14: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And certainly the US has been

272
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 14: a strong ally of Israel for years, and obviously after

273
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 14: the Hammas attack or October the seventh, but really for

274
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 14: the first time Joe Biden publicly castigating the Israeli Prime Minister,

275
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 14: you know, saying that things are not going in the

276
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 14: right direction, that they need to think about their plans,

277
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 14: especially in the aftermath of this war, and that was

278
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 14: highly unusual for him to do so. So certainly not

279
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 14: you know, the US is not calling overtly for a

280
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 14: sea spy, that's been something they've very much danced around,

281
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 14: but expressing concern about the situation inside Gaza and certainly

282
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 14: for the unresolved questions of what happens after. I mean,

283
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 14: Israel just won't agree, they say, to a two state

284
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 14: solution essentially involving the West Bank and Gaza, where some

285
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 14: other countries include in the US, are potentially looking at

286
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,479
Speaker 14: something would involve the Palestinian authority in both places, essentially

287
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,239
Speaker 14: the two state solution. So certainly a lot of unknowns

288
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 14: in the aftermath of this conflict, but the US clearly

289
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 14: already starting to run out of patients on it.

290
