Catch us live weekdays at one Eastern on Bloomberg dot com, the iHeartRadio app, and the Bloomberg Business App, or listen on demand wherever you get your podcast. The White House threatens to veto the Republican Israeli Aid bill, as the CBO now says that bill will add to the nation's deficit. Welcome to the fastest show in politics, as we get a first look at the fine print in the Speaker's plan on Israel, even as the President takes his own approach, including money for Ukraine for the border. We'll be joined ahead by Bill Hoagland at the Bipartisan Policy Center with analysis from our signature panel. They're with us on this FED day. Rick Davis and Genie Shanzano weighing in as well on the latest from Washington and Israel. And Welcome to the Wednesday edition of Bloomberg Sound On. I'm Joe Matthew in Washington, where, of course it's going to be all about the FED, certainly here on Bloomberg starting in about a half hour's time, when we'll bring you our special coverage of the FED meeting. The announcement and the news conference. But we have breaking news on Israel that I want to start with today, and I'm glad you're with us here on the radio, on the satellite, and on YouTube. You can always find us on YouTube by searching Bloomberg Global News. The cameras are lit with the headline on the terminal. Biden says some Americans will depart Gaza today. We're just hearing this now from the White House, as the President says American citizens will exit Gaza today and the US expects more departures tomorrow and over the coming days. He also said save passage has been secured for wounded Palestinians and for foreign nationals to exit Gaza. And this is the type of headline that some of his critics in his own Democratic Party have been looking to see, with much more news coming out of Israel and Washington. Here, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is having lunch today with the Senate Republican Conference. Interesting as we turn to the matter of funding, and this is something we're going to talk about in a moment with Bill Hoagland. We brought this to you yesterday. Speaker of the House wants to split Israel funding from the rest of the supplemental package that the President has put forward, And if you listen to this show, you could probably tell us by now yourself that was going to include Ukraine, the border in Taiwan. Not so, says the speaker who's going to bring that bill to the floor tomorrow. It looks like and it is also expected to fail, so lawmakers are weighing in now. Republicans say this is a way of keeping the governments from spending too much money that we heard from the CBO when we learn it's actually going to add to the deficit. And Senator Ben Cardon of Maryland, who's now chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says, GOP is playing games with the money. We need to keep this together because it represents the priorities that need to be done. Now, there are supplemental appropriations which were not planned for in the normal appropriation process. There's no need for offsets, and we got to get this dumb without the political parsianship we see in the House. Now that's the chair. The Republican Senator from Wyoming John Barrasso, also on that committee, says, no, this is the way it should be done, and more specifically, pay for it by defunding the IRS. I support defunding the IRS taking that money out of that as a source of payment for the money to Israel. I want to make sure Israel has what they need to fight the war they need to fight. So there you have it from both sides of the aisle. According to the Treasury Department, If that matters to you, those thousands of IRS employees will not be targeting small businesses and regular Americans. In fact, we heard from the IRS Commissionery yesterday said these offsets would end up costing ninety billion dollars in fact, because of less scrutiny on tax evasion at the highest levels of wealth. So much for armed agents knocking down your door. This is where we start with. Bill Hogan, Senior vice president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, spent many years working on Capitol Hill. Knows how the sausage is made and might be helpful here with a reality check. Bill two questions your thought number one on just putting Israel funding alone on the floor, knowing that it likely doesn't have support, but to

The Democratic Leader in the House calls on the new speaker to take shutdown off the table, and Israel conducts raids in Gaza to prepare for the next phase. Welcome to the fastest show in politics with twin leads this day in Washington. After the new Speaker was installed and Hamas now claims Israeli raids have killed almost fifty hostages. We'll talk about the next steps in Israel and the threat posed by Iran. Coming up with retired Army General Wesley Clark, a former Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, with analysis today from our signature panel. They're both back with us. Bloomberg Politics contributors Rick Davis and Gdi Shanzano will be with us for the hour to distill a lot of information from the past twenty five four hours here in Washington. A bit later this hour, a special conversation with the Secretary of the Treasury Jennet Yellen, is with us today in our offices at Bloomberg in Washington. Our bureau chief Peggy Collins will be conducting an interview across the platforms here, the radio, the satellite, and YouTube coming up in just about a half hour's time. So you want to stay with us for an important conversation ahead as we begin on Capitol Hill now, and welcome General Wesley Clark to the conversation. It's good to see you, General, I know you're on Capitol Hill as you join us today from the Russell Rotunda to talk with Senators about threats posed by Iran and our policy towards Iran. I'd like to start by asking you though about the urgency around a supplemental budget request that now there is a new speaker, there's going to be some action on this. In your thoughts on how quickly and what is needed for Israel now, Well, we need the full request that the administration's made, We need it passed as rapperly as possible. And let's not forget it's not just Israel, it's also Ukraine. The two are linked. Russia and Iran are strategic partners, and you can be sure that Vladimir Putin is really happy to see what's going on in Israel. How much he had to do with it, Maybe we won't know for a while, but we know Iran had a lot to do with it. We have to understand that this Both actions are threats to democracy, it's the international order, the rule of law in the world today, and of course obviously to our business community internationally. So we have to keep both in mind when need to get that those appropriations passed immediately. Well, there does seem to be an appetite for supporting Israel in this case general. But there is an argument overfunding for Ukraine, and I know that the Republican Conference in the House is looking to bring an Israel only bill to the floor. What do you make of this argument? Sixty billion dollars for Ukraine with some members saying not another dollar. But the president, as you just put it, is trying to link the two together as a matter of national security. You see continuity between these two requests. They are linked together. Vladimir Putin is working with Iran, Iran's working with Putin. Yes, they're linked, but also understand this, that's sixty billion dollars for Ukraine. Most of that money doesn't go to Ukraine. That money goes to the United States. That's keeping and building up our industrial base to face the challenges of the Middle East, to face future challenges in NATO, and of course to face the challenge of China. We've let our industrial base, our military industrial base, deteriorate over the last thirty years since the end of the Cold War. We allowed a wholesale consolidation of defense industries. We reduced the rates of supply that we need of everything. Is this sort of half step, We've got to put that money into our own base. The appropriations we've already given to Ukraine. That money went to American firms. We just gave them a bunch of old equipment, old ammunition. We need to keep that system alive and strengthen it for the challenges ahead. That's why putting Ukraine in that appropriations bill is so important. Well, there's so
