What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBloomberg reports President Trump is resisting a deeper U.S. role in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. Lola Cruz is live with more.

  2. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm outside a gas station off the interstate. Bloomberg says the resistance could reshape Middle East geopolitics and the risk premium in oil.

  3. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe pump behind me says nothing. Pumps never talk.

  4. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe reasons beyond that were not given.

  5. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentA man just walked past me carrying a hot dog the size of a canoe, so I'm going after him. Sir! Sir!

  6. Gary PlunkettI'm Gary, a retired school bus driver.

  7. Gary PlunkettI don't know anything about Yemen, but I do know my hot dog is gas station hot dog number four today.

  8. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentGary, that is the most honest answer I've gotten all year. The seagull from Long Beach would have stolen the hot dog and the story.

  9. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentBack to you, Hank.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Lola. Gary's digestive tract now has a bigger role in this than Washington. I will be monitoring both.
