those are the people who fund aipac. they are coming into black and brown communities, black and brown districts trying to buy races from the people who live there. and, it's not going to work. they don't know the bronx, then don't know mount vernon, they don't know yonkers, port chester, white plains, the river towns, they don't know these areas. they try to bully their way into elections. repeat their guy in 2020, we are going to be to their guy in this race as well. >> they are backing people who are election deniers and other district. the consistency they have is for them, it is about israel, it is not about reproductive rights, it's not about resources into these communities, it is not about the integrity of american elections or the security of our elections because they are all over the place. they focus on a singular issue. you say that is not an issue that people in your district care about or something that is going to work with the people in your district, it's kind of like voting manipulation. what are the p

oftentimes, aipac and other super pac groups, it is not just aipac, it is the nra, it is the oil andng in districts where there are working class constituents who deserve to have working class for presentation. how do we compete? it shouldn't cost this much to be in a race. also, we don't have any rules around what they can say. you mentioned it, they never mentioned israel or palestine in my race, any of my races . we never seen them do it in most of these races oftentimes, they are calling people trump supporters or distortion and using disinformation. we have to get to the root of these tactics and also the money in politics. >> the sort of electoral abuses took off after the supreme court's 2010 ruling in citizens united, which opened the door to unlimited secret campaign contributions, specifically that it allows for wealthy donors to conceal their identity by funneling money through nonprofits. is there a congressional fix for this? >> first of all, you know what, i'm going to say that, yes, of course, there are congressional fixes for most things. is there a congressional will

the -- aipac. the last meeting was november, many presidents were here, they were discussing whether the next steps are there, costa rica has two main sectors. one is the commerce and trade and the other is more kind of foreign relations. those are the two tracks that were joining. that were leading, per se. we are also leading the one on the center for excellence, which is related to the money. costa rica is going to be hosting. each country will have its own responsibility. costa rica is hosting the center for excellence related to technology. regional center for excellence. which, as you all know probably, we do not have, even the united states, and i think that is also a problem worldwide, that there are not sufficient people with the necessary skills for technology jobs. so i think, the last number, if i'm not mistaken, there's a lack of 300,000 people in latin america with those skills. so, that regional hub, which is already moving into costa rica, and the government is taking it on, intel i

street to challenge aipac more and not be aipac light in congress so when you say they're left-leaning, i smiled because there are other organizations like if not now, jewish voices for peace and others that are truly left-leaning and truly fighting anti-semitism in a real way. and for free. >> here i mean, some of the things that they're referring to are your use before now, early on the term genocide, when you're talking about this conflict, they're talking about your doubting that sexual violence was committed by hamas. those are some of the examples of the things that people are speaking about when they question how we didn't hear enough for j. street. and it's supposed to you when had evidence of sexual violence, we condemned it. we voted to condemn it and we're we've been on the right side of that. and so for me, this is about accountability and this is about a pathway to peace and j3 wants to be a part of that. we can work together in the future to be a part of that. they made a decision now for whatever their reasons were, but in terms of my own accountability, it's about gover

there is the possibility they are discussing about which countries will be part of aipac, not just the countries in right now but others there is a possibility of them joining. there is a lot happening with the apex. at the last meeting, that was in november. many presidents of the region were here discussing the next steps. costa rica has two main sectors. one is the comers of trade. the other is more of a foreign relations. those are the two tracks that we are joining. or that we are leading. we are also leading the one on the center for excellence, which is related to these funds. costa rica will be hosting. every country will have its own responsibility but costa rica is hosting the center for excellence related to tech knowledge he. a regional center for excellence, which, as you know, probably, we do not have in the u.s. that is a problem worldwide. there are not sufficient people with the necessary skills for technology jobs. if i am not mistaken, there is a lack of 300,000 people in latin america with those skills. that regional hub, which is already moving into costa rica, and

i have gone to dinners with members of aipac. but again, that is not what aipac is therefore. an educational organization and that is what they do. host: tallahassee, florida. republican. we are listening. a question or comment? guest: the quest -- caller: nothing much a question but a comment in regards to mr. mcclintock. i agree with him having been in the service. i have seen what happens with guerrilla fighters. i also feel at the same time that the real problem is iran because even as they take out hamas, there will be another start up with another name to make it look like that system. we have to take them out to stop the terrorism. host: when you say we come even in the u.s. caller: they should. they said we would support our people. but then again, we act like jill biden is afraid to do this and that. it is a double standard. none of them trust us after a while. they need to depend upon us. they want to control everything. guest: i do not believe we should attack another country unless they attack us. we should provide arms admonitions where we can to support countries

but it has increased the fear people have, and of course this time aipac says they are going to spend, an inconceivable amount of money. and most of the money they are raising in democratic primaries is from republican billionaires. so it is a very difficult thing. >> the january 6 situation, and the ones like fred and liz cheney and adam sometimes you have to vote against your constituents to do what is right too. so, you have that situation. >> and most did not survive. >> there are not many. so you have to do that too. and that is what you are therefore, you have to follow the rule of law. if yourethat, they are not payiu enough to violate the law. >> the question on the hastert rule, i always thought it was a silly thing, personally. i can point to several votes. we always told the majority to pass the bill. in 2013, i cannot tell you homie times i voted for a debt contin 29 to 85 votes of republicans imposed the hastert rule until they didn't, which was all i would argue the spirit of hastert rule was never violated, because there was always the majority of people who supported w

and they did not even have to say why, because aipac would come after them if they supported this billhe israelis in the palestinians to figure out how to make peace with each other so we could stop this endless cycle of violence. and they came after me with millions of dollars of dark money in the next election. i don't regret doing that. i feel like i had to do it. it was the right thing to do. now, it's complicated, because it was redistricting. michigan lost a seat anyhow. that -- seat in the house. years, incumbents are mushed together. so it is not as simple as saying that was the cause. but it has increased the fear ople have, and of course this time aipac says they are going to spend $100 million in this cycle, an inconceivable amount of money. and most of the money they are raising in democratic primaries is from republican billionaires. so it is a very difficult the jd the ones like fred and liz cheney and adam■ kinzinger, sometimes you have to vote against your constituents to do what is right too. so, you have that situation. >> and most did not survive. >> there are not ma

biden himself has extensive dependence on the aipac lobby since the year he was a senator since 190 or so. mr. deniser says that our communication bridge in mr. obama's administration, where mr. biden was the deputy, is with the zionists, mr. biden. it means that his relationship with the zionist regime has such a prominent role, and therefore he is stuck in these two ways, and almost in these weeks, from october 7 onwards, he has made it clear that he will have a clear task with various packages and assistance to crime. but the same apparent red line that was the attack on rifa had also marked it with b paying attention to the student protests and in a way his silence in this one day is almost the latest and last position that the american authorities have taken regarding the plan to attack rafah . experts on west asian issues are accompanied by video in this special program. hello and welcome to you, mr. sadr al-hosseini. we had pictures of the resumption of attacks by the zionist regime on areas of rafah. it was broadcast on khabar network. in your opinion , will these attacks be wi

annabelle: let's bring in the head of aipac equities and credit. i'm curious what you see because her seeing fed cuts on the horizon. what do you think is the big catalyst? guest: morning. inflation is only one outlook. things like consumer savings have been drawing down, nonetheless it speaks for softness. all these things they tell us regardless of if the number deviates, it does not matter. direction of travel is clear for rates and in terms of recommendations we continue to advocate for high-quality bonds and small caps. haidi: can you dive into that? share more details? reporter: on the small caps side, what we like, direct beneficiaries of calling rates, so if we compare them with s&p companies, there is 10% on small rates. they are suffering more and when the tables turn, then they are a beneficiary and they benefit from that part of it. haidi: we took a breather when it comes to japan equities. what do you make in terms of what the next phase polls? does this have anything to do with redirected flows into china? reporter: the investors look

we have been critical of israel and aipac, what made you then decide to work for this administration?r this administration? in 2020 i was terrified _ this administration? in 2020 i was terrified of _ this administration? in 2020 i was terrified of another - this administration? in 2020 i | was terrified of another donald trump time and in 2016 i volunteered for the hillary campaign and terrified of a trumpet presidency since that was a possibility and i believed in vice president harris and in the vision for america and i knew thatjoe biden was a strong supporter of israel but i think i did not expect something like october seven was going to happen and i was certain once a did that israel's response was of a magnitude something far worse than we had seen before but i thought... i think i was somewhat optimistic that the very smart people in this administration would see how continued support for israel's action is politically disastrous and that the israeli government is out of alignment. we spoke to congresswoman pramila jayapal early in the day and we know that she has been a vocal

let's get more on the markets without first guest, aipac strategist. i want to get your thoughts on the rally we are seeing in the mainland, chinese stocks trading higher after coming back from the extended weekend. how sustainable do you think this rally is? >> given the recent economic data and policy support we have seen from authorities, but the problem is the underlying issue with the property market is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon, so it is difficult to see on current levels. we focus more on the selective and differential stocks in the banking sector, which are very healthy. paul: avril brought up a chart a moment ago about the risk premium. unsurprisingly china extracts a much higher risk premium than other asian markets, so it is cheap for a reason. do you have any sense of caution if you were dipping back into chinese markets? >> i do not think the risk premium will go away anytime soon, because investors are worried about the structure will slow down chinese economy. on top of that, we have u.s. elections coming up in november, so th

stocks and a lot else, alan is the prime time partner co-founder, the predecessor of what is now aipac's ask you about meme stocks. we have a more substantial discussion to get to. given we have many more market cycles, what you make of the likes of gamestop and amc? alan: you know, we have been through this before. someone comes back after three and a half years, the stock is up 77% and it has nothing to do with the stock itself or the performance of the company. reminds me of trump, true social, the activity of that stock with no basic underlying fundamentals. the market gets hysterical. it's a psychological, based on the whims of a lot of people who want to play the market and go one way and another. we will see it, i guess i halfwit -- no way of knowing, i don't follow it, but i assume the reaction on the downside was the same as people stepping back on the crypto stock, what happened to the fundamentals. we see it settle down. i would say that this is something that where someone else needs to play in that game. katie: and to your point that the downside could be just as dramatic, w

we are joined by bloomberg china show coanchor david in glace, and neeraj seth, cio and ahead of aipac fundamental fixed income at blackrock. we are sing another strong day of gains in hong kong, especially on china make a text to close out the week. but i do feel like we have been here before. is this going to be an enduring trend? david: you know, we were counting our cleat going into this week how may times we have seen -- actually going into this week how may times we have seen rather significant rallies, at least five to 6%, going as much as 250%, of course -- to 50% come of course, amidst the broader downtrend. we've gotten in our hearts broken five times. 30% into the rally and certainly just given on price alone, this one is a little bit more extended than the previous others. although that being said, the reopening rally was really what top of that list. the question right now is, is this more than short covering? is there something more and beyond a tactical trade that's being put in place? who are the buyers of this rally? is this simply just short-term money? markets have o

also important, president biden and president xi met at the end of the year in san francisco at the aipac meeting. what we tried to do, first and foremost is reestablish regular dialogue at all levels. the most important piece was reestablishing military communications because the quickest way to get into unintended conflict is not to have those conversations happening. that has been fully restored. if we get the opportunity to cooperate, that would be in beetle interest. it is important because you want to be externally clear, extremely direct and explicit about your differences and your intentions. and we have a world of differences. but it is better to be talking about them directly then it is to be disengaged. what i found, including this most recent trip, is that we're able to engage on those differences in a very clear way. not that we resolved them but we might have a better understanding of each other's intentions and that is important. something else has changed. this is something we talked about a lot. and china has been in the mixed ordinary leader on. the relationship with chi

israel that the group j street left-leaning pro-israel group, but very much not where, for example, aipac is withdrew its endorsement saying that he had singled israel out and in his district which runs from the north bronx into west that has been a real problem for him and it looks it's like he the challenge that he's gotten this year might, as you say, be the most intense primary a house democrat faces this year because in that district there's a lot of feeling like they want more pro israel, at least evenhanded support from bowman. >> and even within the democratic party, it's no secret you've done reporting on this. there's been a lot of reporting on how what a wedge that issue, that particular issue, israel-hamas war has driven into the democratic party democratic congressman, former house majority leader, sydney hoyer, told cnn this week, let's listen what do you know my. position on israel's very strong and i regret that there are members who are in effect i think reflecting the views of hamas, which are to kill jews and eliminate israel. now where is an ally of the pro-israel orga

involved in these races, it's republican donors, it's people who donate to conservative candidates, aipac pac has been helping republicans. >> why is it against me? you're going to hear that over the next few months it was primary to refrain. that's not about the israel position and it is about why are these donors so interested in beating me? why are these republicans which didn't beating me so democrats trying to push the israeli shadow side make it pop polarized and part partisan. >> and how does this play in november of course, that's a big question. well biden. >> there was a poll that came out about wisconsin voters, the clinic pi polls international conflicts are ranked lowest on this list. >> most of course, the economy preserving democracy right underneath that geoff, you were just in wisconsin and i want to i want our viewers to listen to what they said to you to about their issues your paycheck, and it looks good, but then when you pay the bills out, it's like, wow, it's all gone or it can who gets the blame for that? you think? >> all right. thank the administration. that's in

are waiting for these funds in order to actually pay bills that have still been accumulating since aipac and to make the improvements. so i do want to emphasize that these grants are not just about individual organizations. it's a true investment in this neighborhood that still needs support with the with just a pro long recovery for retail, for convention, and really the exodus of many families here in san francisco. so all of us are impacted. we also hope that this really provides a deeper conversation and partnership between the neighborhood, small businesses and new san francisco new deal as well. to think about the kind of ongoing support they're going to need in this neighborhood. so we look forward to having transparency and community engagement and also then future conversations about what to do. so just finally, we do want to say that, you know, this attention in these grants will help us not just survive till 25, which is the slogan, but we really want to be thriving through 25. thank you. thank you, miss doctor. next speaker, good morning, supervisors. raquel redondo is direct

west mayor aipac calendar today. we have a lot of commencement speeches on the docket.at it is 26 basis points. we are talking about getting progress. but we also have to know the context. still annualizing. in the past he has given some decent guidance about the number expect to see. but the reality is that the fed is highly dependent. it is hard in this environment. the data should do more. lisa: there is something going on under the hood that is consistent. there is this feeling of weakness coming through that the overall data and not suggest. >> the inflation data did improve, but it is too high. some caution on these rates, everybody thinks there is seasonality in the data. if that is true, the fed should be cautious about over interpreting data, if it does improve. more broadly, there was some giveback on the sales data that was probably welcome. you had a labor market that did soften a little bit. the atlanta fed is tracking strong growth. it is softer, but not obvious at this point. lisa: softer, but not soft. i am wondering, from your perspective, if there is a

the budget includes $1.7 billion for international organizations, encoding the united nations, aipac,merican settlement pack, to help shape them in ways that reflect our interests and our values. we are asking for $500 billion to get more people around the world access to secure internet and digital technologies. doing so will support our economy through the export of our technology products, and will help ensure that we and our fellow democracies remain the leaders and standard setters in key technologies like artificial intelligence. our budget also includes funding to address global issues that affect the lives, the leavy -- livelihood of those around the world. it funds our response to migration, global food insecurity, public health, climate, and energy security. we are asking congress to fund the educational and cultural exchanges. these are one of the best, most cost-effective tools we have for advancing our values and our interests around the world. they support students, researchers, young professionals from our communities who study and work abroad. we also need to invest in

the euro area impact will be very different than japan or broader aipac economies.s to more divergence and opportunities for markets. jonathan: that's really well framed, wonderful to hear from you. if you are just joining us, welcome to the program. rates unchanged on the bank of england decision. a change to the vote of the nine officials on the monetary policy committee, seven voted to leave rates unchanged into voting for a cut which is an additional member voting for a cut. the guidance is interesting, risk from inflation is proceeding in things are moving in the right direction. more in that guidance in about 15 minutes time. the news conference is about 15 minutes away. gilts are rallying at the front and the little bit and if you look at sterling, weaker on the pound by one third of 1% against the u.s. dollar. let's get you an update of stories elsewhere this morning. here is your bloomberg brief. sonali: shares of arm falling in the premarket and the chip design maker dental lackluster revenue forecast for the are raising concerns that the tech industries s

and this continued military industrial cop phrebgs -- complex in relationship with aipac and netanyahu the 40,000 that he's killed over there, never mind all the injuries, this is my biggest concern. i cannot believe that the group think in d.c., the d.c. bubble, would go against the american population on these conflicts. host: gregory thanks. get a response. guest: regarding the ukraine, that is a serious matter. i am not by no way, shape, or form a hawk. but i understand clearly the importance of bringing help to the ukraine. a vladimir putin victory in ukraine will result in major economic consequences not just for the european union and its economy, but for the world's economy, including our economy right here at home. so we cannot ignore that. the ukrainian people are heroic people. they have pushed back on a vicious thug in putin, and we should be there to assist them. i think that is not just about ukraine. it is about europe, their. it is about ult -- think economy. it's about ultimately our world economy. host: tom, gibsonburg, ohio, republican. hi. caller: hi. i listened to
