What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAl Jazeera reports politicians from both parties are slamming Donald Trump's suggestion that Iran could 'take' San Diego and Los Angeles.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe remarks, per Al Jazeera, suggested American cities could be sacrificed in the Iran war. Democrats and Republicans have both expressed outrage.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWho is affected? Millions of residents in two of the largest metro areas in the country, and every ally trying to read Washington's intentions.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFor markets, rhetoric like this can raise the risk premium. If tensions worsen, expect flight-to-safety volatility. Futures are open and calm for now.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, so, taking cities is bad for the vibes. Does Iran take San Diego like a free sample, or do they have to ask?

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorKenji, nobody is taking anything. What to watch next: any White House clarification, and whether Congress members from both parties push for one.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWait, bipartisan outrage? Both sides agree on something? That's rarer than me holding a coin through a dip.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is rare. I have covered summits where the two sides could not agree on a table shape. Agreement on this is notable.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo if the market gets spooked, I'm just gonna hide under my gaming desk and refresh the charts until the cheese puffs run out.
