Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News. Good morning.
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the
Speaker 2: stories we're following today. We begin in.
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, where the Kansas City Chiefs have won Super
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty eight.
Speaker 3: There is a back to back Super Bowl champion.
Speaker 4: Then it is the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: And that was the call for one oh six to
Speaker 1: five FM in Kansas City. This is the Chief's third
Speaker 1: Super Bowl title in five years and the third Super
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP for quarterback Pat Mahomes.
Speaker 5: I think we just kept fighting.
Speaker 6: I mean, at the end of the day, it wasn't
Speaker 6: like we called a.
Speaker 3: Lot of different plays.
Speaker 5: We stayed within our offense, kind of like we did
Speaker 5: all year long, and guys just continue to battle and
Speaker 5: that was kind of our whole season.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs came back from behind after a slow first
Speaker 1: half to tie the game with the San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: nine ers and head into overtime. The Niners scored first
Speaker 1: in ot with a field goal, but that left the
Speaker 1: door open for a last minute touchdown drive from the
Speaker 1: Chiefs for a twenty five to twenty two victory. Stay tuned,
Speaker 1: We're gona have more on Super Bowl fifty eight coming
Speaker 1: up shortly in sports and Nathan.
Speaker 2: Those on the East Coast who did stay up to
Speaker 2: watch the whole game could be waking up to the
Speaker 2: prospect of winter weather today. It's not going to be
Speaker 2: a major storm, but we could see snow hitting parts
Speaker 2: of the East Coast later today. Bloomberg meteorologist Rob Carolyn
Speaker 2: with more details.
Speaker 8: The upcoming storm system. It's going to impact the northeastern
Speaker 8: mid Atlantic as just straight rain. For the district in Baltimore,
Speaker 8: it starts as rain late today and it ends tomorrow
Speaker 8: morning is rain. New York City precipitation will start as
Speaker 8: rain after midnight, but it changes the snow during tomorrow
Speaker 8: morning and depending on exactly the track, while we could
Speaker 8: end up with a sizeable snowfall, especially just north of
Speaker 8: the city, six to ten inches. Right now, the city
Speaker 8: looks like it could see two to four but if
Speaker 8: the storm tracks further south, New York City may get
Speaker 8: in on the heavier snow. Boston right now looks like
Speaker 8: it gets the jackpot from this storm. Snow will arrive
Speaker 8: by sunrise tomorrow morning in Boston. Boston area under a
Speaker 8: winter storm morning on Tuesday, six to ten inches looks
Speaker 8: likely for Boston. Some of the suburbs to the west
Speaker 8: and just north and west of Boston could have as
Speaker 8: much as a foot I'm Rob, Carolyn Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 1: Okay, Rob, thank you.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: Let's turn to the Middle East now, where Israel is
Speaker 1: launching more strikes in Gaza, air strikes at the southern
Speaker 1: city of Rafa, where more than a million people have
Speaker 1: sought shelter from the war. These attacks come after President
Speaker 1: Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo not to take
Speaker 1: action without a plan to keep civilian safe. It is
Speaker 1: a concern net on Yahoo addressed in an interview with
Speaker 1: ABC's Jonathan carl.
Speaker 6: Well, Rafa is a very small percentage of Gaza, and
Speaker 6: I think it's about ten percent or fifteen percent, I
Speaker 6: mean the estimates. And with that area north of Gaza
Speaker 6: that has already been cleared, well there.
Speaker 5: There's an estimate one point four million people in that
Speaker 5: area right now. And if they can't just disappear, where
Speaker 5: are they supposed to go?
Speaker 6: No, Well, the areas that we've cleared north of Ralfa
Speaker 6: are plenty of areas there, but we're working out a
Speaker 6: detailed plan to do so.
Speaker 1: In Prime Minister Natanya, who spoke as Iron's foreign minister,
Speaker 1: says the Israel Hamas conflict could be moving closer to
Speaker 1: a diplomatic solution. He's held tux in Beirut about the
Speaker 1: potential release of Israeli hostages. Separately, Israel says it did
Speaker 1: rescue two hostages from captivity in Rafa.
Speaker 2: Meantime, remarks from Donald Trump are causing a dust up
Speaker 2: in the international community. The former president claims he wants
Speaker 2: He once threatened to let Russia invade a NATO member
Speaker 2: if they didn't pay their fair share to the Alliance.
Speaker 4: One of the presidents of a big country stood up said, well, sir,
Speaker 4: if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia, will.
Speaker 3: You protect us.
Speaker 4: I said, you didn't pay, You're delinquent. You said yes,
Speaker 4: let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you.
Speaker 4: In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the
Speaker 4: hell they want.
Speaker 3: You gotta pay.
Speaker 2: The idea that former President Trump would allow NATO members
Speaker 2: to be invaded is sparking somewhat of a political storm.
Speaker 2: Democrats condemning the remarks. Republicans like Lindsay Graham and Marco
Speaker 2: Ruby are defending Trump's rhetoric.
Speaker 1: And meantime amy former President Trump continues to poll well
Speaker 1: with US voters. New data from the Financial Times show
Speaker 1: americans trust him over President Biden when it comes to
Speaker 1: the economy. We get the story from Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman.
Speaker 9: A Financial Time survey shows that GOP presidential front runner
Speaker 9: Donald Trump leads President Biden by eleven points when it
Speaker 9: comes to the economy. Forty two percent of Americans say
Speaker 9: they feel Trump would be the better steward for the economy,
Speaker 9: while thirty one percent say Biden, with twenty one percent
Speaker 9: saying they don't trust either candidate. Trump Strong's showing comes
Speaker 9: despite voters reporting some improvements in their own financial situations
Speaker 9: and optimism regarding the economy. I'm Dan Schwartzman, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Dan, and speaking of the economy,
Speaker 2: we have some significant data on tap for US markets
Speaker 2: this week. Figures on inflation and the health of consumers
Speaker 2: will likely play a role in sentiment this week. Bloomberg
Speaker 2: Steve Potus with more from Washington.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow is the highlight for data this week, with inflation
Speaker 3: readings for January. Do out economists, consumer prices rose two
Speaker 3: tenths of a percent from the prior month, for an
Speaker 3: annual inflation reading of two point nine percent. Strip out
Speaker 3: food and energy and the numbers are a little less rosy,
Speaker 3: resulting in a core CPI reading of three point seven percent.
Speaker 3: Then on Thursday, the government issues figures on retail sales.
Speaker 3: Economists to expect US slump in January, with retail sales falling.
Speaker 3: On Friday, look for data on producer prices. They are
Speaker 3: expected to show a moderate monthly increase of just one
Speaker 3: tenth of a percent. In Washington, I'm Steve Podisk, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, thanks, turning to company news, we may
Speaker 1: have a big tie up in the energy industry. Bloomberg
Speaker 1: News has learned Diamondback Energy and Endeavor Energy Resources are
Speaker 1: in final discussions on a deal. The combination of the
Speaker 1: two companies would result in an oil and gas giant
Speaker 1: worth more than fifty billion dollars. We're told a deal
Speaker 1: could be announced as soon as today.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Nathan. In time now for a look at
Speaker 2: some of the other stories making news around the world,
Speaker 2: and for that we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker.

Speaker 10: other people were shot and injured, including a five year
Speaker 10: old boy who is with the shooter and is now

Speaker 10: conference later, if there's.
Speaker 5: Anything good of it, you know what, She didn't get

Speaker 11: Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington with symptoms

Speaker 11: weeks after Austin provoked an uproar for failing to disclose
Speaker 11: for several days that he had been hospitalized on New
Speaker 11: Year's Day. At that time, he was in the hospital
Speaker 11: for treatment of complications from prostate cancer. The Pentagon chief

Speaker 5: the second quarters. The forty nine Ers wide receiver Jowan
Speaker 5: Jennings threw a touchdown pass at Christian McCaffrey that was
Speaker 5: the only touchdown score in the game over the first
Speaker 5: forty two minutes. She's TD on a Patrick Mahomes pass
Speaker 5: that came first play after a mough punt. Forty nine
Speaker 5: Ers would reclaim the lead early fourth quarter on a
Speaker 5: Rock Perty touchdown pass that went two Jennings. The point
Speaker 5: after was blocked that would turn out to be he
Speaker 5: Although Jake Moody did make field goals of fifty five
Speaker 5: and fifty three yards. Harrison Butker had two game tyme
Speaker 5: field goals with the last six minutes of regulation, won
Speaker 5: with three seconds to go, forcing overtime where the Niners
Speaker 5: went seventy five yards covering seven and a half minutes,
Speaker 5: but had.
Speaker 3: To settle for a Moody field goal.

Speaker 5: they went seventy five yards in thirteen plays.
Speaker 10: This was the thirteen.

Speaker 12: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager.
Speaker 1: Israel has carried out more air strikes on what it
Speaker 1: says is Hamas's last remaining stronghold in Gaza, the southern
Speaker 1: city of Rafa, near the Egyptian border. And this assault
Speaker 1: comes hours after President Biden held his first call with
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin NATANYAHUO in weeks, urging him to come
Speaker 1: up with a credible plan to protect the more than
Speaker 1: a million people who have sought refuge in Rafa. For
Speaker 1: the latest we're joined by Bloomberg News Israel Bureau chief
Speaker 1: Ean Brauner in Tel Aviv, Ethan. What do we know
Speaker 1: about these latest strikes?
Speaker 7: Well, I think you summarized it well and Nathan, they
Speaker 7: you know, the Israeli say that when they have particular targets,
Speaker 7: even if there are people living nearby, they go after them,
Speaker 7: and that's what they did. In this particular case. It
Speaker 7: was combined with a special op that ended up rescuing
Speaker 7: two hostages who were held on the second floor of
Speaker 7: a building in the center of Ropoff. That happened at
Speaker 7: around one or two in the morning local time. The
Speaker 7: Israeli say that they killed the three guys who were
Speaker 7: holding them hostage and rescued these two men, one who
Speaker 7: was around sixty one, around seventy, who came from key
Speaker 7: Boots and were captured on the seventh of October along
Speaker 7: with all the other people. So that was there certainly
Speaker 7: a big accomplishment from their perspective. The bigger issue is
Speaker 7: that you have, as you said, more than a million,
Speaker 7: maybe one point three million people holding on by their
Speaker 7: fingernails under tents and things around Rafa, and the Israeli
Speaker 7: say that that's now their next target, and they say
Speaker 7: they won't go in in a big way until they
Speaker 7: move people out, but we don't know what that means
Speaker 7: are where these people will go.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and even before this latest assault, before the call
Speaker 1: that we're led to understand that President Biden had with
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netan Yahoo, the Prime Minister was on at
Speaker 1: least two of the Sunday political shows here in the
Speaker 1: US saying that they were working on a plan to
Speaker 1: protect civilians. Do we know anything about this plan that
Speaker 1: the Israeli government's working on.
Speaker 7: They have it, I don't know too much about it.
Speaker 7: Every time we ask, they say we're working on it.
Speaker 7: They've only been talking about it for a few days.
Speaker 7: The basic plan seems to be some kind of a
Speaker 7: humanitarian corridor that would allow people who escape Ran Junez
Speaker 7: Darryl Balach and maybe I don't think they're going to
Speaker 7: let them go to the north beyond Wadi Aza, to
Speaker 7: go back to god City. But in theory they're talking
Speaker 7: about areas to the north of Rafa that they could
Speaker 7: go back to. That the Israelis are not in the
Speaker 7: process of attacking. But you know, there's been so much destroyed,
Speaker 7: and the people who are seeking refuge already in Rafa,
Speaker 7: so many are wounded and so many are hungry, that
Speaker 7: it is really a kind of unimaginable challenge to move
Speaker 7: huge numbers of them out in a way that they
Speaker 7: would actually be safe. But I mean, I'm not there,
Speaker 7: and that's what the Israelis say they're going to do.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: From the images we've seen, it's difficult to imagine where
Speaker 1: in Gaza. The more than a million people who have
Speaker 1: crammed into Raffa could go given the images that we've
Speaker 1: seen of devastation in so much of Gaza. From what
Speaker 1: we can understand, ethan, where can Palestinians who are in
Speaker 1: Gaza go? At this point, you.
Speaker 7: Know, I'm not certain. The Prime Minister referred to an
Speaker 7: area north of Roufaf, directly north of Rafaff that he
Speaker 7: said would be safe and is available. It is also
Speaker 7: possible that parts of Khanyunis, where they are in the
Speaker 7: process of finishing up a several week operation, that they
Speaker 7: would then remove themselves from Hanunis. I don't know that
Speaker 7: all the buildings are destroyed. I think northern Gaza is
Speaker 7: more destroyed than central Gaza. But look, these are good questions,
Speaker 7: and some kind of temporary housing would have to be
Speaker 7: found for them. The whole situation is very, very alarming.
Speaker 7: We know that there are nearly there are some twenty
Speaker 7: eight thousand people who already dead. There's some tens of
Speaker 7: thousands who are injured and wounded. So you're right to
Speaker 7: ask the question, and I don't have an answer for you.
Speaker 1: One other comment that stood out from Prime Minister Natanyahu's
Speaker 1: remarks on the Sunday shows he's saying that victory against
Speaker 1: Hamas is within reach and our last thirty seconds ethan,
Speaker 1: do we have a better sense the Israeli government of
Speaker 1: how they perceive victory looking like against tom osk Yes, I.
Speaker 7: Think it's I mean victory. Victory is a little hard
Speaker 7: to describe. But what they are saying, what the military
Speaker 7: is saying, is that in the last few weeks they
Speaker 7: were able to operate in Kanunis in a way they
Speaker 7: hadn't been able to operate in the North of God.
Speaker 7: So they're able to go into the tunnels. They have
Speaker 7: these robot dogs and they have these sort of bowling
Speaker 7: ball things that go in as well. That they feel
Speaker 7: they've been able to actually take over areas that they
Speaker 7: thought they wouldn't be able to. They have an enormous
Speaker 7: amount of intel now and they're questioning a lot of
Speaker 7: guys they've captured, and they think they can win this
Speaker 7: war and destroy Hamas. That's what they're saying.
