37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 5: context of negotiations where Israel has tried to use RAFA

Speaker 2: next Tuesday, marketing one of the administration's biggest moves against

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: Chinese trade. At Bloomberg, Stephen angel Is in Hong Kong.

Speaker 2: He says the tariffs will target three key industries.

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 6: These new tariffs would be very targeted at the three

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 6: key green industries that She Jinping has essentially earmarked as

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 6: priorities for investment, the new three as he called it

55
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,600

Speaker 6: electric vehicles, batteries.

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: And solar Bloomber Steven Angels says Biden's plans are a

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: contrast to Donald Trump's pledge to levey his sixty percent

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: tax on all Chinese imports if he wins November's election.

62
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: testimony recounting the affairs she says she had with the

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: former president. The adult film actress was grilled by one

64
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: of Trump's lawyers who aimed to portray her as an

65
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: extortionist and a liar. Brown University professor Wendy Schiller says

66
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: it's not clear how her testimony could shift the jury,

67
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: but she thinks the trial will affect the twenty twenty

68
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: four election.

69
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 7: Trump has been brilliant in getting both fundraising from his

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 7: donors but also the RNC to pay a lot of

71
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 7: his bills, and that means they can't fund things like

72
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 7: organize and get out the vote, help their county chairs

73
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 7: and help Senate candidates in swing states, and those two

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 7: kinds of campaigns are going to be crucial to either

75
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 7: side's victory in November.

76
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: Wendy Scheller, Brown University says Trump continues to critique the

77
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: charges against him. He's calling the judge in the hush

78
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: money trial a disgrace after he refused to throw out

79
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,400

82
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: benefits coming in higher than expended yesterday. This comes ahead

83
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: of next week's key CPI reading. Sarah House, senior US

84
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: economists with Wells Fargo, says a hotter pread likely to

85
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: keep rates higher for longer.

86
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 1: Looking very hard at court at the core, just given

87
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: that you have had three months in a row of

88
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: upside surprises, and we really need to see the core

89
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: begin to downshift if you are going to keep even

90
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: the potential of even a September cut.

91
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: Sarah House with Wells Fargo telling Bloomberg she can't completely

92
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: rule out a pial rate hike this year, but believes

93
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: jpwell set the bar very high for any hikes in

94
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: his latest pressure.

95
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: Well In Europe, John the UK has officially exited recession

96
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: after its strongest quarter of growth in nearly three years.

97
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: GDP expanded by six tenths of one percent in the

98
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: first quarter, beating all estimates. Elizabeth Martin's senior economist at HSBC,

99
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: says it's worth keeping the figure in perspective.

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 8: My slight worry about it is that some of this

101
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 8: recovery was based on expectations towards the end of last year.

102
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 8: The interest rates were kind of come down quite sharply,

103
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 8: and the market has reprised away from that, and the risks,

104
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 8: I guess have kind of grown, So it becomes a

105
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 8: bit circular. The stronger the economy, the stronger employment and

106
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 8: wages and inflation, and the less able the Bank of

107
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 8: England is to deliver some of those.

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: Cuts, and HSBC's Elizabeth martinads next year's GDP forecast for

109
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,400

110
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: the G seven.

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,440

112
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: upcoming artificial intelligence features this year via data centers equipped

113
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,040

00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: mark Sample's much anticipated push into generative artificial intelligence, the

116
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: technology behind chat, GPT and other popular tools. The companies

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: playing ketchup with big tech rivals in the area, but

118
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,760

127
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: he's written thousands of words about his quote nuanced views

128
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: on this important topic. He asked people to read them

129
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,200

00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 4: Knickerbocker Avenue. The two victims were said to be a

161
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: seventy one year old mother who died and her forty

162
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: four year old daughter. Police say the vehicle, a blue Mazda,

163
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 4: sped through the intersection with police behind it when the

164
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: driver crashed into a van and the victims. The driver

165
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: the vehicle with Massachusetts plates took off on foot and

166
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 4: it's still on the loose. The Biden administration wants hospitals

167
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: to meet minimum cyber security standards after a single hack

168
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,479

171
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: can actually collaborate to say, here's what we're seeing in

172
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: a hospital.

173
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 9: Has anybody else seen this?

174
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: And the goal in all.

175
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: Of this is to make it riskier, costlier, and harder

176
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: for attackers.

177
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,520

Speaker 9: John Stashedward Bloomberg's Boots Johnaitham.

230

Speaker 4: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM,

231
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 4: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the

232
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 4: Bloomberg Business app.

233
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

234
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 9: Good morning.

235
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager. If we have to stand alone, we

236
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: will stand alone. That was the initial response from Israeli

237
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to President Biden's decision to withhold

238
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: some bomb shipments ahead of a possible attack on Rafa.

239
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: But the Israeli Prime Minister may be trying to smooth

240
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: things over a bit. In an interview with TV's Doctor

241
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 3: Film and for more. We're joined now by Bloomberg's Israel

242
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: Bureau chief Ethan Bronner in Tel Aviv. Ethan, good morning.

243
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: So in this interview, the Prime Minister said he's had

244
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 3: disagreements with President Biden before and they've overcome them before.

245
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: How could the is the US and Israel overcome this

246
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: current disagreement.

247
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 10: Good morning, Nathan Well. I suppose the answer would be

248
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 10: to somehow split the difference. That is to say, if

249
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 10: the Americans are especially concerned about civilian casualties, if Israel

250
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 10: goes into Rafa. So in theory, if Israel were to

251
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 10: really move people out in some systematic fashion and then

252
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 10: have a more targeted set of attacks at the hamas

253
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 10: militants underground there and the number of people killed is low,

254
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 10: I mean, the number of civilians killed is low. In theory,

255
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 10: that might be some form of reconciliation, right. I mean,

256
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 10: I think that the biggest problem for Israel is that

257
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 10: it's got a two front ward both in Gaza and

258
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 10: then in the North, and if it doesn't have US

259
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 10: bombs and weapons, it's going to be in a little

260
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 10: bit of trouble. So the pressure has some meaning.

261
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 3: Are we seeing any evidence at this point that Israel

262
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: could be headed that way when it comes to getting

263
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: civilians out of harm's way taking a more targeted approach.

264
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 10: You know, they've been saying some version of this on

265
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 10: and off for many many weeks. I think we really

266
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 10: don't know. One of the difficulties right now is that

267
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 10: we are all so at some kind of a hinge

268
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 10: point in these negotiations mediated by the US at Katar

269
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 10: in Egypt with Hamas for an exchange and a ceasefire.

270
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 10: So if that comes about, and I'm not especially optimistic,

271
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 10: but if it comes about, then there will be some

272
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 10: weeks without fighting, and then you never know where that goes, right.

273
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 10: I mean, that's a little bit why hardliners in this

274
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 10: country don't want there to be too much of a ceasefire,

275
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 10: but the government says it's willing if they can get

276
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 10: hostages back, so I think there is some reason to

277
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 10: think that. And what I'm saying also is that as

278
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 10: Israel edges toward Rafa, part of it is to pressure

279
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 10: these negotiations.

280
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 9: So it's kind of a.

281
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 10: Double game in reality happening but also sending a message.

282
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 10: It's difficult to really know what the ultimate attack in

283
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 10: Rafack is going to be. I want to add one

284
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 10: other thing, which is that there are reports that they've

285
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 10: been talking about and waiting so long that the so

286
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 10: called for battalions underground in Rafa may now be down

287
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 10: to two or three with Hummas fighters having moved back

288
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 10: to the center of the Gaza strip to Han Yunis

289
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 10: and Deir Balach. You know, I don't know that, but

290
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 10: it is an interesting problem if true.

291
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: Wellly about thirty seconds left Ethan. We've heard a lot

292
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: about what hardliners are looking for when it comes to

293
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: an invasion of Rafa. What are these rarely people looking

294
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: for right now?

295
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 10: I would say that the Israeli people, by a slight majority,

296
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 10: would rather see a hostage deal, and they do generally

297
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 10: think it's important to destroy Hamas, but they're really eager

298
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 10: to get back the one hundred plus people, many of

299
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 10: them dead, about half probably dead, half living, half dead,

300
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 10: that are still in the hands of Hamas. That is

301
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 10: their top priority right now.
