Gaza Strikes Intensify; Humanitarian Windows Open; Powell Upends Bond Market

On today's podcast: 1)  Israeli struck outpatient clinics of Al-Shifa Medical complex in Gaza City, Palestine Authority radio reports. The Israeli military has said that Hamas’s main military headquarters is located underground near Al-Shifa and has told the hospital to evacuate patients. 2) Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank will continue to move carefully but won’t hesitate to tighten policy further if needed to contain inflation. 3) West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin announced Thursday he won’t seek reelection, a blow to Democrats’ prospects for keeping the Senate majority in 2025. 4) Industrial & Commercial Bank of China’s US unit had been hit by a cyberattack, rendering it unable to clear swathes of US Treasury trades after entities responsible for settling the transactions swiftly disconnected from the stricken systems. That forced ICBC to send the required settlement details to those parties by a messenger carrying a thumb drive as the state-owned lender raced to limit the damage. 5) Chicago Bears take down the Carolina Panthers in Thursday Night Football Full transcript: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. Karen, the latest on the Israel Hamas war. Israel says it's struck back at an organization from Syria. The target at a school in the southern city of Ailat with a drone. Meanwhile, the White House is confirmed Israel's agreed to four hour daily humanitarian pauses in northern Gaza to allow civilians to flee, but Mark Regev, who advises Israel's Prime Minister, says it's not a ceasefire. We will continue this operation until we have destroyed Harmasa's military machine. The idea of a humanitarian pause is in a specific place, for a specific time, to help the civilian population who are not the target of our operation on the country. We want to see the move out of Hamsway. That was Benjamin Natanyahu advisor Mark Regev meantime. A short time ago, Palesidine Authority Radio reported that Israel's forces struck outpatient clinics of a medical complex in Gaza City. Israel's military says the main military headquarters of Hamas are located underground near that hospital, and had they told the hospital to evacuate patients, well, Nathan, we turn now to news that still making waves in Washington. A Democrat, Joe Mansion of West Virginia, stepping away from Capitol Hill. I will not be running for re election to the United States Senate, but what I will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together. Senator Manchin is an honorary original honorary co share of No Labels, the centrist group that's now working on a possible third party presidential campaign. Bloomberg's Wendy Benjamin Sin has more from Washington. If he does go for an independent or third party run, that's going to make it very, very difficult, because the people who feel that Biden may have gone too far to the left, or is too old, or all the other things are looking at this guy a true old soele conservative Democrat. Bloomberg's Wendy Benjamin Sin notes mansion still has eleven point three million dollars in a Senate reelection campaign that he could use in a presidential run. Well, politics has Washington's focus. Karen Summer, President Biden's cabinet have headed West Finance. Leaders of the US and China have begun talks setting the groundwork for the Biden she meeting next week at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story from San Francisco. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen meets again today here in San Francisco with Chinese Vice Premier Hu LaFong. She is saying the US has no design to break economic ties with China, but these two day meetings are aimed at making progress on a slew of economic issues before the heads of state sit down. China's main concerns in the supply chains in high tech, the US focusing on fair competition in tech, as well as freedoms and the issue of Taiwan. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Radio. All right, ed, thanks, So we turned to the markets now, and stocks are coming off their first drop in eight sessions. That declines came after FED Chair J Powell warrant interest rates may have to climb further. If it becomes appropriate to tighten policy further, we will not hesitate to do so. We will continue to move carefully, however, allowing us to address both the risk of being misled by a few good months of data and the risk of overtightening. On the same day Powell spoke, Richmond FED President Thomas Barkin said the US economy still has not felt the full effect of past interest rate increases. I think there's more lag to come from hikes. I'm not sure that you know that's everybody's view, but that's that's certainly my view. I also believe that there's inflation is going to take longer to settle than the more optimistic forecast that you might see. And the economy is also in focus in Europe. The UK economy flatlined in the third quarter, defying forecasts of a small contraction and ensuring a recession is avoided this year. GDP was unchanged from q two. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast a tenth of one percent decline on average. Well. In other news this morning, Nathan the world's largest bank, has been hit by a cyber attack. The incident caused the US unit of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to reroot some treasury trades and may get more from Bloomberg's reshound Salamad in Hong Kong. The hack forced clients to reroot transactions. A large number of trades in US treasuries were prevented from being cleared. It left brokers and traders scrambling to US as the extent of the impact of the cyber attack. There are reports of liquidity being affected, and speculation continues to mount that the issues were a cattle for a very poor oaction of thirty year bonds. So to say, ICBC allerted clients that trading was being impacted. ICBC as seti hight cybersecurity for a mandant and has been offered assistance from the FBI in Hong Kong. I'm Rishard Salomit Bloomberg Radio Oka, rish thank you staying in Asia. The final day of the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore has wrapped up. Climate change was a major focus. We caught up with US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry. People are well aware of how critical the situation is. Mother Nature has been sending us massive messages in the last years. We know we have to reduce the emissions. We know that the costs of not doing so will be much greater than the cost of doing so. And Special Climate Envoy John Kerrey praise the Inflation Reduction Act for attracting green investment to help fight climate change. Well, Nathan, let's check out some stocks on the move this morning. Shares a Biagio down more than eleven percent, the maker of Johnny Walker and Smeirnov Vodka issuing a profit warning because of a steep slowdown in Latin America. Shares of Plug Power They're plunging down more than twenty nine percent in early trading. The company reported revenue well below estimates. S and P futures are little changed right now up a point.

The letters were sent to Nevada, California, at Georgia, Oregon, at Washington State. The Fulton County, Georgia Board of Commissioners chairman is Rob Pitts. Crazy people out there who will go to any extreme to disrupt, interrupt, fair, open, transparent elections in our country and specifically here in Fulton County. Officials are calling it domestic terrorism. They're only seven days until the government could face yet another shutdown. More in that story from Washington and Bloomberg. Steve Potis Congress needs to approve a budget that would keep the government funded through the rest of the year, but there are already some divisions among Republicans as to how that may happen. Democrats also say they wouldn't accept certain cuts to social programs, and the White House says that some of the bills Republicans are proposing would cut funds to law enforcement. White House Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton says the time is running out and House Republicans should stop playing political games and follow the lead of the Senate by getting to work on bipartisan bills. Steve Potisk Bloomberg Radio. President Biden was in the Illinois Thursday congratulating union auto workers taking a victory lap after they won a new contract. The President reminding those workers he joined them on the picket line, and Donald Trump did not. I stood and other stood with his shoulder and shoulder on that picket line. My predecessor went to a non union shop and attacked. I hope you says, so. I hope you guys have a memory where I come from. It matters. Mister Biden was the first president in history to join workers on the picket line. The nation's first openly gay governor, looking to re enter politics nearly twenty years after he left former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevy, announcing Thursday he'll seek the mayor's office in Jersey City in twenty twenty five.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We want to get you caught up now on the war in the Middle East. We've seen more strikes into Syria as Israel continues its advances on Hamas in Gaza, and Israel's military now says it has agreed to quick humanitarian windows to allow people to flee the fighting in northern Gaza. For the very latest, we are joined now from Tel Aviv by Bloomberg News Economy and Government reporter for Israel, Kalie alstein Ghalid. Thanks for being with us. As always, I want to start off with this latest report that we're hearing, I think from Palestine Authority Radio about Israeli strikes on an out patient clinic in Gaza City. What more do we know? All right? Hi, Good morning, Nathan, so on the ground in Gaza Israeli army, as we know, has been operating at the heart of Kaza City over the past several days, and now we have been hearing more and more reports from the Palestinian side that some of these Israeli forces are approaching hospitals. So, as you mentioned, we heard the report from the Palestinian Authority radio that says that dozens were killed and wounded from an Israeli strike on outpatient clinics at Al Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City. And we also hear Hamas saying that there are Israeli tanks in the vicinity of three different hospitals in northern Gaza, and these are different hospitals, Alvan Tisci, Al Nassel and Al Ajun Hospital, and the director of one of these hospitals, the Children's Hospital, issues a comment saying we've been surrounded in the hospital since yesterday and IDF vehicles are stationed around the hospital. We cannot provide even the slightest medical services, so that's what this hospital director is saying. Now, all these statements have not yet been confirmed by the IDEF, but I think we can probably definitely not probably expect more to come on that. But the Israeli military has said made some comments about potential targets in that area. What is the Israeli military saying about that? So, the Israeli military has been saying for a while that Hamas command centers are positioned underground beneath some of these hospitals. They've mainly focused on Al Shifa Hospital, and they've also presented some evidence the idea that they said was back by the US and the UK intelligence agencies. They've shown evidence that command centers of Kama's opposition beneath Al Shifa Hospital, and they say this is not the only hospital where this is happening. So that is why we are getting these reports of army, Israeli army forces surrounding these hospitals probably and this is coming after Israel's military confirmed US reports that there was an agreement on humanitarian windows in the fighting. What more do we know about that? Right? So, I think we're basically seeing a similar dynamic over the last couple of days with Israel providing humanitarian windows to allow people to flee in northern Gaza, and the IDF estimates that between fifty to one hundred thousand people have exited northern Gaza, over the last few days, with the total of almost some nine hundred thousand leaving the area since fighting began. And this is an area that usually occupies more than a million people, so that would mean that most people, according to the Ideas have left. At the same time as these people moved to the safe zones in the south of Gaza, we still see a modest number of eight trucks, that's how the UN describes it coming in from Egypt sixty five days. Trucks came in yesterday and the need is for at least one hundred trucks some day. That's what the UN said. And I think another interesting point to mention Nathan on what's coming and how long this fighting will take. We hear something on that from Israeli Prime Minister Benjaminitaniao who gives them an interview to Fox News tonight, and he says, well, it has taken a little longer than I had hoped, and he explained that this is taking longer on account of battle conditions on the ground and the safety of Ideas troops that Israel is obviously concerned with, and also getting out the hostages that they're in there. And he does admit that this is affecting the time that this operation is taking and just quickly about last thirty seconds scale. Does this say anything these comments from Nats on Yahoo about the impact that diplomacy has had on the Israeli side, Well, you know, Nathaniel denies that that Israel's agreed to any kind of ceasefire, so that hasn't been agreed upon yet. He also talks about these humanitarian fathers and he does give us a hint on the very interesting question of what will happen in the day after, and this is also associated with diplomatic talks, and he says that we'll have to find a government, the civilian government that will be there, but in the foreseeable future, we will have to make sure that this doesn't happen again. He is referring to the ectoty seven attacks. So we have to have a credible force that, if necessary, will enter godt the killers. That's from what he calls you, Homas Wilson.

Clinton on Israelis and Palestinians, SAG-AFTRA Strike Over, Ivanka Trump in Court

On today's podcast: 1) Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said both Israel and the Palestinians need new leadership in order to have a chance of achieving a peace deal once the current war in the Gaza Strip ends. 2) The five Republicans scrapping to fashion themselves as the alternative to Donald Trump opened their debate Wednesday night blaming the former president for the party’s latest election embarrassment — then spent the next 90 minutes doing little to distinguish themselves from the GOP frontrunner. 3) Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump testified she had no role in preparing his allegedly inflated financial statements and wasn’t aware that he was claiming a net worth of more than $4 billion as she was trying to get a Trump Organization loan for the Doral golf club in Florida in 2011 3) Missed your favorite actors? After nearly four months of striking, they're coming back. Wednesday's deal between striking actors and studios and streaming services won't immediately restore filming to its full swing. That will take months. 5) Walt Disney, embroiled in another fight with activist investor Nelson Peltz, posted fourth-quarter profit that beat analysts’ expectations and said it will cut an additional $2 billion in expenses. Disney stock jumps.  Full Transcript: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the latest developments in the war in the Middle East. The Pentagon says the US IS carried out an airstrike on a weapons warehouse in eastern Syria. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says the self defense strike was in retaliation for attacks on American forces in Iraq and Syria. Meanwhile, Israel says some fifty thousand more Palestinians have fled to southern Gaza as Israel's army pushes deeper in to Hamas strongholds in the north of the territory. All this as, Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says, both Israel and the Palestinians need new leadership. So I think you have to create the environment in which there is a chance to revitalize the peace process and a potential for a two state solution. Hamas is not interested in a two state solution. They are dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That is in their charter. If you've been watching lots of different outlets over the last month, that is what the leaders of Hamas say, you know they want to destroy Israel. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton added that while Israel's unlikely to agree to a ceasefire that would benefit Hamas, it probably will accept pauses to allow aid to reach civilians in Gaza. Clinton made the comments in an interview with Bloomberg's editor in chief John Micklethwaite at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore. Well Nathan. The war in the Middle East was a major topic at last night's Republican presidential debate in Miami. The five candidates on the NBC stage were united in support of Israel, including Florida Governor Ronda Santis. I would be telling BB finish the job once and for all with these butchers. Come on, they're proris, their massacring innocent people. But there were devides over a to Ukraine and how to approach China. Of ak Ramaswami and Nikki Haley had a sharp exchange over banning TikTok in the last debate. She made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time. So you might want to take care of your family first. Read my appreciation daughter man. Nikki Haley and the other candidates also went after front runner Donald Trump for skipping the debate. Jeanie she and Zano is a politics contributor for Bloomberg. She said he was a good president for the time, but he is not the right president for now. And then she pointed to the fact that he created eight trillion dollars in debt, he's wrong on Ukraine now, and the fact that we can't live in the past. Genie she Andzano notes the former president held a rally ten miles away rather than appearing on the debate stage. Meanwhile, Nathan House Republicans have issued subpoenas to members of President Biden's family. The move to subpoena the president's son Hunter and brother James comes as Republicans look to gain ground in their nearly year long investigation. So far, they have failed to uncover evidence directly implicating the President in any wrongdoing. Now to the latest developments caring in the New York Front trial of Donald Trump, his daughter Ivanka's day on the witness stand was filled with denials of any knowledge of her family's net worth calculations. Sloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story. She says she didn't know that her dad was claiming and that worth of more than four billion dollars as she tried to get a loan for the Durreal Golf Club in Florida. She flatly says she's not involved in his personal financial statements. Attorney General Letitia James says, not true. Ivanka Trump secured negotiated loans to obtain favorable terms based on fraudulent statements of financial condition, and she says the Trumps cannot hide from the truth. The Attorney General has wrested Ad Baxter. Bloomberg Radio all right ed, thanks well. From New York to Hollywood. The actors' union has reached a deal with studios to end its strike. Can we get the latest from Bloomberg's Doun Prisner. The vote by the union's Theatrical Committee was unanimous. Common ground was found on issues ranging from the use of artificial intelligence to payment from streaming services, and now, after four months, the strike by some one hundred and sixty thousand actors is over. The previously striking screenwriters have been back on the job for more than a month, so now production of scripted TV shows and movies can resume. And like the writers, the Actors' Union benefited from direct involvement in the talks by some of the most powerful people in Hollywood in New York. I'm Doug Prisner, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Doug, thanks now. Some of those most powerful people included Bob Eiger, and the settlement comes the same day Eigers Walt Disney Company posted fourth quarter profit that beat analyst estimates. Disney also says it'll cut an additional two billion dollars in expenses. Bob Iger says his company will also launch a beta trial bundle of Disney Plus and Hulu next month. We expected Hulu on Disney Plus will result in increased engagement, greater advertising opportunities, lower churn, and reduced customer acquisition cost, thereby increasing our overall margins. Man Right now, shares of Bob Bigers Walt Disney Company are higher by four percent in early trading. Well Nathan, Another CEO, is making news this morning. Bank of America's Brian moynihan said his company has a succession plan in place and that nothing is left a chance in deciding on his eventual replacement. Moynahan, who made the remarks at the Reuters Next conference, took the helm in twenty ten in the wake of the global financial crisis. And there's another bank in the spotlight this morning, Karen. That would be Morgan Stanley. Its wealth management business is under Federal Reserve scrutiny, sources say the New York based banks top regulators pressing whether the firm is taking adequate measures to prevent potential money laundering by wealthy clients outside the US. Representatives for the FED and Morgan Stanley declined to comment. And it's time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker, John Good morning, Hey, Good morning Karen. Former President Donald Trump did skip the third uop to at in Miami, instead holding a campaign rally about ten miles away in Heyaliah twenty twenty four is our final battle. Stand with me in the fight. We will finish the job that we started so brilliantly seven years ago. We never had a country like we had just three years ago. Meantime, at judge in Michigan expected to hear arguments today whether the Secretary of State there has the authority to keep Donald Trump's name off state ballots for president. Various groups have filed similar lawsuits in other states, portraying Trump as the insider of the January sixth Capitol riot. They point to part of the Constitution the prohibits a person from running for federal office if they've engaged in insurrection or rebellion. Industry regulators say power grades that supply more than half of the US population may run short of electricity during an extended cold snap or severe storm over the coming winter. That story in this report from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. The North American Electric Reliability Corps as regional system operators in a vast swath of the country, stretching from Texas to New England, are at risk of insufficient electricity supplies during peak winter conditions. The report came in a winter reliability assessment which also showed Quebec and Saskatchewan facing the threat of power shortfalls. The outlook is even more dire than last year's report, which set a quarter of Americans were at risk of cold weather power emergencies in New York Charlie Pellett Bloomberg Radio, the population of the US climbed to about three hundred seventy million and twenty eighty before reversing course starting to fall before the turn of the century. This according to News Census Bureau projections and the bureau's most likely scenario, the number of people sixty five or older, we'll overtake the number under eighteen in just six years.

John stash Ellert Bloomberg Sports from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam the Bloomberg Business Appen Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We want to take you to Singapore now and the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, where world leaders have been weighing in on the economy and geopolitical risks, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She sat down with Bloomberg News Editor in chief John Micklethwaite to discuss Israel, Ukraine, China, and the future of the United States. They began with a discussion on President Biden's upcoming meeting with Chinese President She Jinping. Part of the reason it was, you know, somewhat more positive when I was there and we had a very regular set of meetings is because Hu Jintao was a Chinese leader who decided he would not stay for life, he would fulfill his term, he would follow the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party, there would be a transition a new group of leaders. You know, some holdovers, but you know, other new faces would be in power, and so there could be a constant renewing of both the Chinese government and through that the American relationship. Once she Jin Ping decided to stay in office for life, that creates a lot of you know, challenges within their own system, and I think we're seeing some of that. And so part of what I hope will come out of this meeting is an attitude by President Shei that you know, he wants to get back to some kind of regular order, that he sees it in China's interests to really dig in with the President Biden, develop a platform for discussions for problem solving, really sending that signal. I think he will find a receptive partner with President Biden if that's available. Israel and Hamas, I think you are in favor of a humanitarian pause or pauses, but you're against the SIESFA which many people in this region asking for. You know, the numbers of dead arising rapidly ten thousand according to Hamas Italy, but you still got like eighty nine dead at the UN which is a gigantic number for United Nations, the Red Crescent and so on. Can you perhaps explain why you don't want to cease far? There is a difference between a ceasefire which would in effect freeze the situation in Hamas's favor. I negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in November of twenty twelve, and at that point both parties did not want to go any further. The breaching of a pre existing ceasefire by Hamas with rockets being sent into Israel had not caused a lot of damage, and there also had not been the development of the infrastructure of terror that Hamas has built in Gaza. I don't know any nation represented at the New Economy Forum faced with the kind of assault that Israel was faced with by Hamas that would not be number one defending itself and number two trying to prevent it from happening again, because with every other cease fire it did happen again until finally we got to the breach of a ceasefire which was in existence on October seventh with the terrible attack by Hamas. So a ceasefire, if it were possible which frankly, I don't think is possible. I don't think you know, Israel is interested in a ceasefire at this point, but they are perhaps willing to have what we do call humanitarian pauses for the purpose of both getting aid in to try to assist the civilians in Gaza, but also getting the more than two hundred and forty hostages out. You know, these hostages are not just Israeli. One of the biggest groups of hostages are workers from Thailand who are working on farms in Israel. So there is a global dimension to the hostages that a pause could perhaps inspire some willingness on the part of Hamas to let the hostages go. But a ceasefire that would freeze the situation at this point is not something that is going to, you know, really undermine Hamas's capacity, especially with two hundred miles of tunnels that they have constructed over the last decade, to launch yet another attack on Israel, and that would be intolerable, and I think it would be intolerable for you know, any nation represented at the forum. Well, this seemed to be kind of two big theories going on about this war. One is that this is the end of the peace process, the other, which you've championed. The other is that this is if nothing else, this will prompt finally some move towards the two state solution. Which which which side of that do you fit on? Well? I actually try to fit on both, and I'll tell you, John, I think it's important to have some aspiration, some goal that we can look toward. Many of us, my husband particularly, worked very hard on trying to get a two state solution, and it, frankly, in retrospect, is heartbreaking that Yaser Arafat walked away from the deal that Bill had broker between Israel and the Palestinian authority back in two thousand. There could have been a Palestinian state up to ninety seven percent of the land from the nineteen forty eight division that would have been in existence for twenty three years now. So I think you have to create the environment in which there is a chance to revitalize the peace process and a potential for a two state solution. Hamas is not interested in a two state solution. They are dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That is in their charter. If you've been watching lots of different outlets over the last month. That is what the leaders of Hamas say. You know, they want to destroy Israel. So Hamas is not a partner for any kind of peace or two state solution. But the Palestinian authority might one time again be. New leadership in Gaza might again be So we have to get to a point where that's possible. Do you think that Benuine Nasignol, who is a partner for a two state solution. I don't think there is any evidence of that. I think the Israeli people will have to decide about his leadership. I think there will be investigations about what led up to and what happened on October the seventh. But I think there needs to be new leadership of the Israelis and the Palestinians in order to have any chance at some kind of peace deal, especially a two state solution. There's one area just I lost you once serious one, then that are slightly more amusing one. But on the serious side, you look at things like Ukraine. At the moment, there is definitely a strategy among America's enemies. You could see putin waiting perhaps for Trump, trying to dig in and wait, but also I think also counting on Congress where you feel that Congress feels over extended. It's got the border, it's got spotenningh I'm in Israel. Do you worry about America feeling as if it's over extended and unable to carry out the kind of global policies that you believed in. Well up until now, the Biden administration has done quite a remarkable job. I mean, they put together a coalition to support Ukraine, which I think many people would have thought unlikely when Biden took office. So I do think the legislative agenda that Biden got passed is also another very strong indicator of being able to get things done. I do agree with you that it is going to be challenging in the Congress to get more funding for Ukraine to provide the funding Israel needs to provide the kind of support that is required to keep our alliances strong around the world. But at the end of the day, I think the president will get that. And I also think there's an opportunity for the President because the Republicans in the Senate have said, you know, we're on board with all of this, but we want to make some changes at the border. I think that, you know, the Democrats should negotiate to see what kinds of changes would be palatable for the Democrats in order to secure the border, in order to make it clear that you know, Democrats want a secure border and a humane system for people who are trying to enter the United States, but we want it to be orderly. So I think there's going to be a lot of tough negotiation. At the end, I think the president will get what he needs. One very last things on the Republican side, you will have noticed how much traction Nicky Haley has been getting as a woman who was the American ambassador the UN. Do you think that Biden was to stumble that might be room for another woman with slightly more foreign policy. Well, I don't know the answer to that, but I hope Biden doesn't stumble. I hope that he goes all the way to the finish line because I think he's earned it, he deserves it, and you know, honestly, the only real argument or complaint is that he's old. And you know what, I think everybody who's his age would be very happy if they were as productive as he is and has gotten as much done as he has, and traveled the schedule he's traveled, so you know, I'm going to continue to support him, and I think he's our best candidate for twenty twenty four.

Election Results: Big Wins for Democrats; Ohio Abortion Rights Vote Passes

On today's podcast: 1) Ohio voters enshrined abortion rights in their state’s Constitution, a boon for Democrats running on the issue and complicating Republicans’ approach to the 2024 elections. 2) Political polarization has helped make 2023 the biggest off-year for ballot measures in more than a decade in the US, 3) Israel said its troops have entered the middle of Gaza’s main city, as they continue their operation against Hamas. 4) Two days after former President Donald Trump testified at his New York Fraud trial, it's his daughter Ivanka's turn to take the stand.    Full transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with last night's election results and a major victory for abortion rights in Ohio. Voters approved Issue one, which enshrines the right to abortion access in the state constitution, by a fifty six to forty four percent margin. Bloomberg Politics reporter Mark Niquette is in Ohio and has more It passed pretty overwhelmingly. And what's going to get a lot of attention is this past in what has become a Republican state. And it's clear that this issue passed even in counties that Donald Trump carried pretty handily in twenty twenty. Bloomberg's Mark Mniquette reports this makes Ohio the latest state to back abortion rights after last year's Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In the interest of transparency, we should note that Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg Radio parent Bloomberg LP, donated a million dollars to the campaign supporting Ohio's abortion rights amendment. Well Nathan, It was also a good night for Democrats in Virginia, with every seat in the state legislature up for grabs. Democrats won majorities in both the House of Delegates and the state Senate. It's a blow to Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin. He's seen as a presidential contender in twenty twenty eight and had hoped to pass a fifteen week abortion band with GOP control. And in another major race, Democrat Andy Basher has won a second term as governor of Kentucky, a state former President Donald Trump carried by nearly twenty five points in twenty twenty And In other political news, Karen Tonight, in Miami, Republicans hold their third presidential debate. Five candidates will take part. Ron De Santis, Sneaky Haley, Vivek Ramaswami, Tim Scott, and Chris Christy Well Nathan notably absent, will be GOP front runner Donald Trump. Two days after the former president testified at his New York fraud trial, it's his daughter, Ivanka's turn to take the stand, and Bloomberg's ad Baxter has the story. The trial issue is whether Donald Trump inflated the worth of his properties to lenders and other business dealings. Ivanka Trump has pretty much disappeared from the public spotlight, opting to leave both New York and Washington, d C. For Miami, but part of what prosecutors want to look at as her role in several real estate transactions, as well as the valuation of her New York apartment, which they say was priced at about two and a half times the value ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio. Okay, Ed, thank you. We now turn to the latest developments in the war in the Middle East. Israel says its troops have entered the middle of Gaza's main city. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Investment says talks toward normalization of ties with Israel remain on the table, Despite the Kingdom criticism of Israeli military action. We spoke exclusively with Khalid Alfala, you know when those discussions were taking place, and his Royal Highs, the Crown Prince was clear that it is contingent on a pathway to peace for resolution of the Palestinian questions. That was on the table, that remains on the table. And obviously the setback over the last month has brought that has clarified. Why was Saudi Arabia so adamant The resolution of the Palestinian conflict has to be part of a broader normalization in the Middle East. Saw the Investment Minister. Khalid Alfala added his country is pained on a human level at the loss of life in Gaza and in Israel. He spoke at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore. Well back in the US, Nathan, the House is voted to censure Democrat Rashida Tahlieb of Michigan for her rhetoric about the Israel Hamas war, and Speaker Mike Johnson presided over the vote on this vote. Quote. The yea's are two one hundred and thirty four and the nays are one hundred eighty eight, with four answering present. The resolution is adopted. The House's action was an extraordinary rebuke of the only Palestinian American in Congress to leave defended her stance, saying she quote will not be silenced and I will not let you distort my words. Turning to markets now, Karen, the s and P five hundreds. Coming off seven straight days of gains. Today, investors await more clues on interest rates from a host of Central Bank officials, including FED share J. Powell. Yesterday, FED Governor Christopher Waller commented on the recent jump in tenure yields since the beginning of July. This thing has gone way up, almost a full percentage point. I think in Central Bank terms of financial markets, that's an earthquake. Governor Chris Waller notes yields on ten yere treasuries have climbed more than one hundred basis points since the end of July. Well, earnings will also be on investors' minds. This afternoon, we hear from Disney, Nathan and Bloomberg Stown Buzzby as a preview. With strong revenue expected at its theme parks, Disney forecasts report overall earnings growth for last quarter and to once again add subscribers to its flagship Disney Plus streaming service investors also watching any comment on when that streaming business will be profitable, the latest on spinning off its ESPN network into a separate streaming unit, and updates on selling off a ABC network and other non core media holdings. Bloomberg consensus calls for adjusted earnings per share of sixty nine cents revenue of twenty one point four to three billion dollars. Tom busby Bloomberg Radio, Okay, Tom, thanks and after the bell earnings to get you caught up on watching Shares of Robinhood They're down seven and to half percent in early trading. The online brokerage reported revenue that missed estimates. Bumble shares are down nine percent, a day after announcing it would replace its CEO. The dating app reported worse than expected revenue guidance. Rivian Automotive shares are up six and a half percent. The ev makers raising its forecast for overall production this year, and forgive me. Shares of Toast are Toast this morning they are down seventeen and a half percent. The restaurant software company lowered the upper range of its full year revenue forecast, and it is time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tunker. John Good Morning, Good morning, Karin. History made in the City of Brotherly Love. Among the results of tuesday's election, Democrat Cherrell Parker won Philadelphia's mayoral election. Parker becomes the first female mayor of the city. No matter where we went, our message stayed the same. And guess what I learned during that time Philadelphia that people were yearning for authenticity. Parker won with seventy four percent of the vote. Another first in the nation's small estate, Democrat Gave Mmo defeated Republican Jerry Leonard to win Rhode Island's first congressional district seat and become that state's first black candidate to elect it to Congress. The journey of so many Rhode Islanders and their families is one of Britain, hard work, determination and resilience. And I stand on the shoulders of so many who came before me to make this day possible. Imoll picked up sixty five percent of the vote there. Based on questions for the bench, a majority of justices on the Supreme Court appear inclined to uphold a federal gun ban on people who are under restraining orders for domestic violence. The Solicitor General, Elizabeth Prelogord defended the law. The constitutional principle is clear, you can disarm dangerous persons. The federal ban has been on the books for thirty years. We Works collapse is spreading through the battered commercial real estate industry, threatening to upend dozens of leases in cities including San Francisco and New York. That story from Bloomberg's Charlie Penllett. The co working giant spiral into bankruptcy, hit landlords along the way as it renegotiated and sought to exit many leases. Now Monday's bankwet see filing and a plan to terminate nearly seventy of those contracts is set to exacerbate issues facing many of we Work's landlords. The tenant wants out and could have more power to leave. Office owners have been grappling with a slowdown spurred by higher borrowing costs that are pressuring building values, as well as a shift in tenant demand with a rise in remote work in New York.

John Stanshleyer Bloomberg Sports from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam the Bloomberg Business app in Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. We want to get you no more results from last night's off off year elections. Abortion rights may have been officially on the ballot in just one state, but the issue may have driven voters in races beyond that state Ohio, and into Virginia and perhaps beyond for more. We're joined now by Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, good morning. It was a pretty overwhelming result for Issue one in Ohio. Does that results have residents into next year's election? Absolutely? I think for Democrats who have been really trying to get the party to focus on abortion rights, they're all seeing what they would call victories in Ohio, Kentucky and even Virginia last night, and I think they're going to say that that is a positive way forward for them looking into twenty twenty four after what is probably many would say has been a tough week looking at Paul showing President Biden perhaps lagging former President Trump in a number of the key swing states. So this is something I think, given the results last night, you're going to hear Democrats talking a lot more about in the coming months that abortion. I'm sorry. That result in Virginia in particular is pretty interesting because the Republican governor there, Glenn Youngkin, who's been talked about as a potential presidential candidate, not just in twenty twenty eight but this this cycle as well, had campaigned pretty hard on this idea that if Republicans took over the state legislature, that a fifteen week abortion ban could be passed in Virginia. What does this result for Democrats winning in Virginia mean for Youngkin's political prospects. Well, for Democrats, I think it's a big sigh of relief that the Virginia still came in I think on their side, and looks like both chambers are going to be in Democratic hands going into the going in the next year for Young Kin, I think it's going to be it's going to make that idea that he could be some sort of last minute candidate if for some reason Donald Trump is not in the race. It starts to rule that out. He has a much weaker hand facing Democrats in both chambers in terms of being able to get his policies passed and dominating the agenda. I think Democrats are going to try to set the tone once they take their seats. It does, you know, it's still I think the idea that Youngkin could could be a candidate in twenty twenty eight is also tested a little bit. It's so early to even be talking about that at this point. But if you're a potential yet we do. If you're a potential candidate looking that far ahead, you think about the agenda you want to set, the accomplishments, the legislative accomplishments you'd like to have. And I think this makes that a lot harder for someone like Governor Youngkin to plan out and game out ahead of that election. You know, almost five years from now. You mentioned Democrats potentially talking more about abortion rights into this election cycle. What about the economy, that's been an issue that this present has struggled to gain traction on. Does abortion override economic issues for voters in this election cycle? You know, that's the economy is often the deciding factor for a lot of voters going into the polling booth. I think there are definitely voters on both sides who would view abortions as the key issue, the biggest thing, the most important thing to them. But in the end, you know, I think the economy is often what swings voters either way, particularly those independent voters in the middle. If heading you know, in the months heading into November twenty twenty four, they're feeling better than they are now about the economy, that probably benefits the incumbent of the Biden administration. If they're feeling worse and there's a lot of signs that, you know, the economy could be struggling more next year than it is this year, then that makes it I think a harder slog for the president and his team to argue that they should remain in place. So it's the economy, you know, it's that Carville saying it's the economy stupid. I think that that's always going to be if not the biggest, one of the biggest factors. We know that voters right now are not very pleased with where things are, even if some of the numbers are perhaps better better than forecast. In the time we have left, Bill, I want to talk about geopolitics and the latest in the Israel Hamas war, with Israeli troops getting gaining ground in Gaza City and now the G seven commenting what's the latest. Yeah, so we heard from Israel, Israel's defense ministers today saying that their forces are now in the heart of Gaza City. You know, they've been they've kind of encircled Gaza at this point, and they say they're going after key Hamas leaders and trying to destroy some of the tunnel networks and the weapons depots that have been built up there. And the G seven coming out today, the foreign ministers coming out with a unified statement saying that there should be humanitarian pauses in the war. That's of course separate from a cease fire. But Israel, who's even pushed back on the idea of some of the pauses, saying that aid is getting in and any pause would only benefit Hamas. So lots of complicated politics going on there still.

Israel War Enters Second Month; Fireworks at Trump Civil Trial; WeWork Files for Bankruptcy

On today's podcast: 1) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he sees his country having security control over Gaza for an “indefinite period,” suggesting it will maintain that role even after fighting in the besieged territory ends. 2) Donald Trump took to the witness stand Monday morning and within minutes turned his day in court into a live Truth Social post. No one understands real estate like he does, Trump testified, and the banks knew what they were doing. The judge sitting next to him is “biased,” the court is a “fraud” and the case against him “crazy,” Trump said, voice rising. 3) Former high-flying startup WeWork filed for bankruptcy listing nearly

transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the war in the Middle East. Today marks one month since the Hamas attack in southern Israel that's set off the conflict. Now, the Hamas run health ministry in Gaza says more than ten thousand people have been killed since the fighting began on October seventh, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is rejecting calls for a ceasefire. There'll be no ceasefire, general ceasefire in Gaza without the release of our hostages. As far as tactical little pauses an hour here, an hour there, we've had them before. I suppose we'll check the circumstances in order to enable goods, umanitarian goods to come in or our hostages individual hostages to leave. But I don't think there's going to be a general seas far and Prime Minister Natanyah, who tells ABC News Israel could have security control over Gaza for an extended period. Israeli military spokesman Peter Lerner tells Bloomberg Radio the goal of war is to dismantle humous as a governing authority and a terrorist entity. Of course, we understand that that role, that goal is a very expensive goal and it will take time. And so the operation itself, the war itself, is an open ended war. It so we don't have any power glass counting the minutes until we end. And you can listen back to our entire interview with Israeli military spokesman Peter Lerner on the Bloomberg Talks podcast. Well, Nathan, back here in the US, the civil trial continues in New York against Donald Trump. It was a fiery day one. On the witness stand for the former president of Bloomberg's, Ed Baxter has the story. Trump yelled at the judge, said he was biased, and the court was a fraud, was a skill, and this is the case. It should have an attorney general. Letitia James says she got what she needed. At the end of the day, the documentary evidence demonstrated that, in fact, he falsely inflated his assets, and Bloomberg's Patricia Hurtado says she's never seen anything like it. He was claiming that I've done real estate for fifty years and as a developer, basically I have a right to just declare magically what Something's worth. Daughter Ivanka is on the stand Wednesday Ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio. Okay and thank you now. Donald Trump will not be participating in tomorrow Night's Republican presidential debate in Miami. Five candidates will. They are Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswami, Senator Tim Scott, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Former White House chief of staff mc mulvaney says Trump's decision not to participate may have repercussions. I think it may come back to haunt him when Joe Biden, assuming Bibes's the Democrat nominee, has the ability then with good reason to say, oh, Donald, you didn't debate in the primary, I'm not debating you in the general. And Trump would be desperate for a debate headhead against Bid and Bide would be desperate for an excuse not to do one. And former Trump White House Chief of Staff mcmulvaney says Nicky Haley is the one with the most to gain from this debate. Mulvaney was on Bloomberg Sound On with Joe Matthew. You can catch the program one pm Eastern on Bloomberg Radio or listen on demand wherever you get your podcasts. Well, Nathan, Before we get to that Republican debate tomorrow, voters head to the polls today to vote on some key issues. So Hio residents will decide if access to abortion care should be enshrined in the state's constitution. It'll be closely watched nationally as a gauge of a key issue ahead of the twenty twenty four presidential elections. And in Virginia, Republican Governor Glenn Younkin is campaigning hard for his party to hold the state House and reclaim the Senate majority GOP victories. Goodline Youngkin up as a potential alternative to Donald Trump as the party's twenty twenty four presidential nominee. Well, Karen, let's turn now to the markets. We're watching shares of ubs they are hired by more than three percent. In Europe, the Swiss Bank, which took over Credit Sweee earlier this year, reported stronger than expected client inflows. We get more from Bloomberg's Guy Johnson in Zurich. We are getting some stabilization in terms of client money to keep the wealth management division that is really important. So we managed to stabilize that that may be give than the opportunity to start to kind of accelerate things here a little bit. But these circle numbers are basically just bridge numbers. We we waiting for the fullier numbers and at that point we're going to get a strategy update. At that point, we're going to get a clear idea of where Sergio Mossy, the CEO, and the rest of the team are going to take this combined Edsito mean Bloomberg Sky Johnson says overall, UBS posted a quarterly net loss of seven hundred and eighty five million dollars, its first quarterly loss in almost six years. Well Staying in the banking industry, Nathan Morgan Stanley's James Gorman, who's preparing to step down as CEO at the end of this year, says he will vacate his post as chairman by the end of twenty twenty four. Gorman made the comments in an interview at a nie K forum in Tokyo. Ted Pick, a co president and three decade veteran of the firm, will be elevated to the top role in January, and turning to the US economy, Karen, it is too early to declare victory over inflation. That's the view from Minneapolis Fed President Neil Kashkari. We're making progress. The job market remains strong, the unemployment rate is still quite low at around three point nine percent, So overall the fundamentals are healthy. But we haven't completely solved the inflation problem. We still have more work ahead of us to get it done. Speaking of Fox News, Minneapolis Fed chief Neil cash Care ads he's nervous about declaring victory on inflation too soon. Well. In Corporate News, Nathan, it was once a high flying startup, and now we Work has filed for bankruptcy. The company said had struck a restructuring agreement with creditors and with streamline its rental portfolio of office space. We works collapse as the culmination of a year's long saga for the company, which was once the biggest office tenant in Manhattan. And Karen Bloomberg News has learned SpaceX's on track to book revenues of about nine billion dollars this year across its Rocket launch and Starlink businesses. SpaceX has projected a rise to around fifteen billion in twenty twenty four. The figures represent a rare look into the finances of the Elon Musk led company, which sells commercial space on its reusable rockets as well as Internet beamed down from a constellation of satellites. Right, Nathan, thanks time now for look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker. John, good morning, and good morning, Karon. The US government's debt interest build has now soared passed one trillion dollars. The story in this report this morning from Bloomberg's Jeff Bellinger. Bloomberg analysis shows annualized interest payments on the US government debt pile climb past one trillion dollars at the end of last month. That amount has doubled in the past nineteen months and is equivalent to fifteen point nine percent of the entire federal budget for fiscal year twenty twenty two. The worsening metrics may reignite debate about the US fiscal path amid heavy borrowing from Washington. That dynamic has already helped to drive up bond yields, and it led Fitch Ratings to downgrade US government debt in August Jeff Bullinger, Bloomberg Radio. The Supreme Corps today is taking up a challenge to a federal law that prohibits people from having guns if they're under a court order to stay away from their spouse, partner, or or other family members. The Federal Appeals Court in New Orleans struck down the law. Following the Supreme Court's bruined decision. In June of twenty twenty two, I Well Governor Kim Reynolds officially throwing her support behind Florida's governor for the Republican presidential nomination, Ron DeSantis is the person that we need leading this country. At ABC News. IPS's polls shows if the Republican Party nominates someone other than former President Trump, more Republicans said it would be more likely to turn out and vote an election day. Talks with striking Hollywood actors are ongoing after the union rejected with the studios called their last best and final offer. The Strength started in July. Netflix co CEO Ted Sorrando says he's hopeful and agreement will be reached soon. We're in the business of telling stories. That's what we want to do every day. So his grind to a hall for a few months, and so we're going to try our best to get things up and running and get the output. Becka for our fans too. Ted sarandas with Netflix, spoke to Reuters. Elon Musk's company, Neurrolink, is seeking a volunteer for its first clinical trial, as looking for someone willing to have a chunk of their skull removed by a surgeon so a large robot can insert a series of electrodes and super thin wires into their brain. Global news twenty four hours a day and whatever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm John Tucker and this is Bloomberg Karen. All right, John, thank you well. We do bring you news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But as John said, you can now get the latest news on demand whenever you want it. Subscribe to Bloomberg News Now to get the latest headlines at the click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com, plus apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update. Here's John stash Hour, John Karen, what did I football? The cab Week nine Chargers at the Jets and LA's Darius Davis ran a punt back eighty seven yards. I'm minted forty five into the game. Chargers went on to have eight sacks and crushed the Jets twenty seven to six. Both teams a

and the and the wider seas fire and overall seasfire that would see fighting completely pause for a longer time than an hour or or a couple hours here and there doesn't seem possible as long as so many Israeli troops are in the ground and there's so much competing going on on the ground. We've also heard Israeli leaders say that there's no humanitarian crisis in southern Gaza from what we can tell with the situation on the ground. Uh does that square with what we're seeing. So look, we're saying, first of all, we're still seeing that. The Israeli Army saying that it continues to operate a sa corridor even today for four hours towards Wadi Gaza, So that would mean people moving still moving from northern Gaza to the southern part. And the visually Army publishes documentation today of residents living the Day two neighborhood that's a neighborhood in the southern part of Gaza City waving white cloths at tanks, meaning they want to say, you know, we're innocent civilians led us through and the army is doing that. And we also saw yesterday the Egyptian border did eventually reopen for the evacuation of foreign nationals and dual citizens, and also a handful of injured people. We do not know the exact numbers, but that did happen. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed at six am Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, serious XM Channel one nineteen, the iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg Daybreak.
