• 0:45
  Speaker 2: about what's happening in the Middle Eastern. Next guest as
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: certainly one of those folks, Aaron David Miller, Senior Fellow
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, joining us from Washington,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: DC via zoom Here. Aaron, We've had presidents and President's
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Trump urging Israel to have restraint, particularly as it relates
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to Iran. But I guess today Iran said, Hey, the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: risks to us are just too high. Iran is making
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: too much progress on the nuclear front. We had to act.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: What kind of contexts? How do you view what happened
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: last night?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: It's a long movie, guys, and thanks for having me.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: First of all, I think the Israeli's acted in large
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: part because you have an his early prime minister who
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: is now very risk ready his lifelong mission is to
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Freezer from the shadow of an Irani and bomb. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: the Israeli's not just the prime minister, get behind this
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: idea of the Began doctrine. You know that in the
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: summer of nineteen eighty one, then Israeli Prime Minister of
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Monock and Began went after the Assira reactor in Iraq
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and destroyed it. The Americans destroyed the reactor again, by
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the way, during their campaigns in Iraq, just doing the
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Reagan administration, and Reagan's not very happy with the Israeli decisions.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: He later came to regret it, though, and agreed with
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Began that getting rid of the reactor was a wise move.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: In this case, I think the first Democratic and Republican
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: president ever did not communicate in an unmistakable way to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the Prime Minister of Israel, and they talked on Thursday.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: We're not sure what the conversation was before these strikes tomorrow,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: last night, and this morning. Let's put this way, Donald
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Trump did not say no. Had he wanted to say no,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: he could have brought to bear an enormous amount of
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: leverage and pressure to dissuade the Israelies from not striking.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So I don't think that conversation was necessary. He may
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: have had doubts, but I think in the end he's
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: simply enabled to exceed an acquiesced in the Prime Minister's decision.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: And remember, the negotiations were supposed to zoom on Sunday
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: in Oman, and yet the administration kept saying right up
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to the end. Five hours before the strikes, the President
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: tweeted on true Social that he hoped there would be
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: a diplomatic ending to this. So the administration cooperated with
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: this ruse. And right now we are waiting for the
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Iranian response. It could be weeks before it occurs. They're
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: clearly knocked off balance. Much of their general staff has
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: been eliminated, former head of the Iran Iranian Revolutionary Guard eliminated,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Chief of staff for the Iranian military eliminating the Israelis.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: They are still ongoing now, striking ballistic missile sites you
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: wa East sites, drone sites in effort to repress and
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: suppress whatever remains of Iran's air defense. There will be
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: an Iranian response. It may be asymmetrical, using terror against
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Israeli or Jewish targets. There's a history there. It could
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: be a while. And then you raised the question, or
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I'd raise it, what are the Iranians going to respond to? Well,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: they confine their strikes to the United Two, I'm sorry,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to Israel proper. Or are they going to go after
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: American assets in the Gulf, or in Iraq, or in
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Syria or oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. I would bet,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: given how weak and vulnerable the Iranians are, they'd probably,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: at least at this stage confine their response to Israel.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: A secretary at Rubio said this was a unilateral action.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Then we got a tweet or something on social media
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: from the President that said, among other things, the next
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: attack being planned will be quote even more brutal and
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: begs the question for me, what is US foreign policy
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: with respect to this?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Well, I think the President had made a judgment he
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: obviously argued the Iranian negotiations were not producing. He gave
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: them two months to reach an agreement, which is an
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: unrealistic deadline. To be sure, that deadline was reached June eleven,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: and that Thursday overnight, Thursday Friday morning, they attack. So no,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I think the administration rode the tiger of what the
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Israelis now have in this region, which is an escalation dominance.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: They've essentially hollowed out Hamasa as a military organization. They've
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: basically decimated his Bullah, as well as the statement saying
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: remarkably they would not initiate any activity in response to
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: what the Israelis have done. So I think that right
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: now the NFC presidents chairing an NFSC meeting, i'd say
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the priorities you asked me what US foreign policy will
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: be in this case, I think there are three or
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: four issues. Number One, protect Americans. Make sure that the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: sites that are vulnerable are as hardened as they could be.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Number Two, prepare for a significant defense. Assistance of Israel
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: helped the Israelis multi layer their own defenses, as the
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Biden administration did in response to the Iranian attacks last year.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: In April October. That's number two, Number three Coordinate Regional
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: defense unnamed golf countries in April and October helped both
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: intelligence wise and participation in an Aaron missile defense shield
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: remarkably supporting Israel in the face of that Iranian attack.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Jordan shot down Jernes in April, last April and October,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and US deployed F fifteen specially equipped with interceptors to
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: protect and help the Jordans airspace. The final piece of
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: what policy would be, are they looking for a way
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: to de escalate. Will they try and push a doubt
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: for something in the Security Council, but some sort of
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: initiative that would try to get the Iranians back to
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the negotiating table. That's going to be a very heavy lift, though, Guy,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and the Iranians invested five trillion dollars over time in
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: this nuclear program. They are humiliated. They are embarrassed to
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: the extreme. So I think we're talking about we're beginning
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: to a very long and very difficult Israeli Iranian confrontation.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Aaron, thank you so much for joining us. Really appreciate
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: getting a few minutes of your time, Aaron. David Miller,

• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Let's get back to the geopolitical topic of the day,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Israel and Iren. Ariel Cohen joins his senior fellow at
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the Atlanta Council, joining us from Stockholm, Sweden of via zoom. Ariel,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: can you put into context what has happened over the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: last twenty four hours? What is israel strategy? Where does
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a rain go from here?
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: First of all, this was in the works for probably
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: twenty years. Iran was giving every opportunity to walk away
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: from its nuclear weapons program. First with a jcpoa planned
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: by the Obama administration, it didn't work. Instead of yes
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: they could enrich for the domestic power production three and
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: a half percent enriched uranium, they escalated twenty percent and more.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Now they were enriching it sixty to eighty percent, which
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: the only application is weapons. They kept accelerating development of
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: their ballistic missiles, and they were funding proxies from the
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Red Sea to the Mediterranean, from the Hufis to Ribala,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: to Irate to Iraqi Typeisbala. So they were building or
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: try to build a Middle Eastern empire. And it all
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: came down rushing, and Trump gave him six sixty days
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: to agree to keep their internal domestic power production through
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: nuclear reactors, but to shut down the Richmond They refused.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Every Friday, they chanted death to America, death to Israel.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: They tried to assassinate Tromp on American soil. So when
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: people are telling me, now we don't care about Iran,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: nobody talks about Iran like this, bright lights, Marjorie tailor, Marjorie.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I just want to quickly ask, do we know if
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: the the Iranian nuclear capabilities have been neutralized or anywhere
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: near neutralized? At this point, I think.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Israel is way on its way to do that because
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: of NATON In Richmond facility, despite the fact that it
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: was protected with the eight meter concrete envelope, is destroyed
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: and other nuclear facilities are destroyed. But if this regime
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: stays in place, they may rebuild, or it will require
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: another war. In five or ten years. So the question
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: I'm asking myself number one, with Trump watching the inflation,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: can the Saudis and other Gulf oil producing countries export
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: oil east I'm sorry, west to the Red Sea so
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: that the oil supply is not disrupted too much. This
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: is important for the US that Iran doesn't put mines
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: in the Strait of Hormuz, through which twenty five to
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: thirty percent of oil exports is going through. And secondly,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: can the regimes survive either giving up its nuclear program
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: or being bombed as badly as the Israeli seemed to
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: be doing and still stay in power. And at this
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: point I'm not sure about either outcome.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Doctor Colin, can you just reiterate what I think I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: heard you say, which is you believe that Israel has
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: destroyed or neutralized their nuclear facilities.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Indeed, the main enrichment facility was in Natans. Israel is
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: also destroying or destroyed most of the massive ballistic missile arsenals.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Just the other day we saw that Iran was buying
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: enough materials and precursors to build ten thousand ballistic missiles
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: over a period of three years from China. Apparently this
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: is also a target. It may not be fully destroyed
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: yet because we're barely twenty four hours into the operation,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: but in terms of the success us of taking out
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: the leadership of the Iranian Air Force, the head of
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: the Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders up.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to leave it there just because of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the time. We really appreciate getting a few minutes of
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: your time. Doctor Ariel Cohen, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: joining us via zoom from Stockholm.
• 12:22

• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Inflation expectations coming down, so let's check out with Joan Shue,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Surveys of Consumers, Director at the University of Admission, Joanne
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Big snapback in the numbers at Big Reversal.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: It seems like, yes, consumers are feeling a little bit
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: more settled after the big shock of the April developments
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: and tariffs, so they do think that the outlook for
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: the economy has improved. At the same time, we're still
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: you know, almost twenty p sent below where we were
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: back in December after sentiments saw a post election bump.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: So consumers are still pretty far from where they were
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: just a few months ago, and they don't think we're
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: out of the woods yet.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: And joined with respect to all the great work that
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: you guys do with the events of the past twenty
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: four hours, particularly with the inflation expectations, I kind of
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: tend to want to throw these numbers right out the window.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: Well, there's a lot going on in the world right now,
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: and in terms of how consumers react to global events
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: in the Middle East, where we can wait until the
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: final reading for June, but of course things are happening
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: on a daily basis. Consumers are incorporating this information separate
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: from the possible disruption to energy prices, from what's going
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: on overall. Consumers worst fears about what might happen to inflation.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: When they saw the development developments in April, they feel
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: better about that, but they're still bracing for higher inflation
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: than they were just a few months ago. So consumers
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: are looking bracing for that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: And the one year inflation expectation was six point four
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: percent down. It came in at five point one still
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: much higher than where we want to see it, where
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the FED wants to see it. Joan, thanks so much
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: for joining us. Joe and Shue, Surveys of Consumers Director

• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Let's check in with the story from yesterday, the air
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: crash in India that claims so many lives, a lot
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: of issues they're one of the issues is just boeing
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the plane, ge the engines. From a business perspective, that's
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: kind of where a lot of folks are looking at
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: this state. Sid Phillip joins his deputy team lever for
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Global Aviation Zoom from Paris.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Sid.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: What do we know about the actual pla itself? Maybe
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: some causes here or is anything been reported?
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: So far?
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: There hasn't been much in terms of causes. I mean
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: so far we sort of we understand that investigators are
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: coming through the wreckage to determine really what caused that
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: crash and it killed all but one person on board,
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: so two hundred and forty one.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: People in fact that somebody wanted away from that. It's
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: absolutely a mirror ple.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the reporting on that. So
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: it is has Boeing said anything? What's Boeing said?
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: Since Boeing is actually sort of it hasn't said a lot.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: It's Boeing is basically deferring to the regulators and investigators
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: on this matter. So they're sort of putting it onto
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: investigators saying they're not going to comment and they're not
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: going to say anything about this accident. They're going to
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: help with the investigation, but they aren't going to comment,
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: and they're going to let that the investigators sort of
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: work through the whatever evidence that they can find and
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: whatever sort of the black boxes and what they decode
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: from those black boxes before they really make a determination
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: and say anything on the matter.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: It also gets to the investigation. But you know more
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: than us about that particular airport in question. I understand
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: that's known for a lot of bird strikes. Do I
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: have that right?
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: There have been some bus strikes. I mean again, at
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: this point, it's a bit early to be seeing what
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: the matter is. I mean At the moment, the accident's
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: being investigated by the Air Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau of
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: India and they also have investigators from the UK and
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: the US who are assisting with the probe, and so
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: they're looking at multiple angles in this investigation. And I
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: think the DGCA, which is India's aviation regulator, also ordered
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: some maintenance checks on all of Air India's Boeing sevent
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: eighty seven's, including they asking them to check on fuel systems,
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: cabinet engine controlled hydraulics, just to rule out what really
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: caused this incident, he said.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Just thinking about Boeing it it seemed like just recently,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: maybe the last six to nine months, Boeing was putting
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: behind it a lot of the safety issue that have
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: plagued it for the last several years of seven three
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: seven macs and so on, and then this happened. What's
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the feeling within Boeing about kind of where they are
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: in terms of getting back some of their engineering chops,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: their safety chops, getting production levels backed up to where
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: they need need to be. What's what do you think
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the view is from Boeing.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: So Boeing, I mean Boeing obviously has been working on
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: improving their quality systems. They have a new CEO, Kerry Outberg,
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: who is sitting there who's basically been working on improving
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: quality and making sure that the company can actually ramp
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: up production and ramp up safely. And so that's what
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: they've been ramping up. And they've sort of just reached
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: a key milestone on the seven three seven Max, which
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: is separate from the jet that actually crashed in India,
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: and that jet is the one that had those two
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: fatal crashes in twenty eighteen and nineteen and also the
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: door plug falling off last year, and so they've they've
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: ramped up production on that. They've sort of got to
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: the FA mandated level of thirty eight a month, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: so they are in the process of sort of showing
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: up their company, showing up their balance sheet. And this
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: will be a sort of blow to that effort, and
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: this will sort of force Kelly Ottberg and new CEO
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: to sort of again go back into crisis mode. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, he isn't going to be attending the Paris
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: Ashore which starts next week. He's decided to skip that
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: along with Stephanie Pop who leads a commercial commercial unit.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was kind of curious how that proceeds. Arguably
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: the Paris Era show, as we that's the biggest event
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: on the aviation calendar, isn't it is?
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: It is the biggest aviation event typically where airlines splash
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: out on big orders. There's lots. It's very celebratory. That's
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: where alines sort of talk about their future fleet plans
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: and aircraft manufacturers including Airbus and Boeing show off what
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: their latest products are and all the innovations and developments
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: that they have.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: So where is Boeing in terms of like a lot
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: of folks tell me, Hey, if you're looking at Boeing,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the only thing you'd really need to focus on is
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: how many seven thirty events are they getting off the
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: line every month? Where are we right now and where
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: do they want to go?
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: At the moment, we're close to the FA mandated limit
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: of thirty eight a month, and they have talked about
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: getting beyond that to about fifty a month, but that
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: is long term, it's not yet, it's not yet, not
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: a near term consideration. But that's basically where they I
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: mean air buses, which is Boeing's direct rival, makes about
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: sixty eighty twenty one s, which compete with the seven
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: three seven MAXs. They make about sixty a month and
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: they have an ambition of reaching seventy five a month
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: by twenty twenty seven.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Tell us about GE, the engines in question, and does
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Boeing Is GE just one of the many suppliers of
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: engines for Boeing.
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: No, so, G is one of the main suppliers of
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: engines for Boeing, I mean on the seven three seven Max.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: GE is one half of a joint venture that makes
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: the exclusive engines for the seven three seven Max. And
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: they also provide all the engines on the CET Triple
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: seven X, which is the upcoming model, and they're one
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: of two engine options on the seven eighty seven. So
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: they are a very very important supplier in terms of
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: the aviation ecosystem. They're very important supplier to Boeing. And
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: I mean, this engine has has been in service for
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: over a decade now, and so this isn't a new engine,
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: It isn't an engine that has any particular issues, so
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: it is I mean, I'm sure that she is also
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: contributing to the investigation.
• 20:29
