This Tuesday's election didn't quite end with the big, blue wave Democrats might have hoped for. But the flip from red to blue in the House of Representatives will change the political landscape and could affect fiscal policies. From financial regulations to trade to consumer protections to infrastructure spending — they’re all issues Democrats have been wanting to tackle following changes put in place by the Trump administration over the past two years. For example, California representative Maxine Waters is expected to chair the House Financial Services Committee and that could mean more hearings featuring CEOs from the biggest banks, not to mention investigations into the finances of the president's family business. This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman talks to Sheelah Kolhatkar, staff writer at The New Yorker, and Joe Nocera, columnist for Bloomberg, about what the change in the House means for Wall Street and Main Street.

The disappearance of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi at a Saudi Consulate has brought renewed attention to what’s been true for years: The United States — and its president — has an important, and extremely complicated, relationship with Saudi Arabia. Trump has been doing business with Saudis for years, even bragging during his presidential campaign about the large amount of money Saudi buyers paid for his apartments. "Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million," he said at a rally in Mobile, Alabama, in August 2015. "Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much." In this Trump, Inc. podcast extra, WNYC’s Charlie Herman talks with The Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold and Joe Nocera from Bloomberg Opinion about all the ways Saudi Arabia is intertwined with U.S. business interests, including those of the president himself.  

The disappearance of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi after visiting an embassy of Saudi Arabia in Turkey has brought renewed attention to what’s been true for years: the United States — and its president — has an important, and extremely complicated, relationship with Saudi Arabia. In recent years, U.S. businesses have developed even deep connections to the Middle Eastern country. Now, in the aftermath of Khashoggi’s disappearance, CEOs of some of the largest financial firms have announced they’re walking away from a business summit known as "Davos in the Desert" planned for next week in Saudi Arabia. Leaders from Goldman Sachs, Google, Uber and the giant investment firms Blackrock and Blackstone are among those who have pulled out while the Khashoggi investigation continues. At the same time, President Trump's own history with the Saudis is coming under scrutiny. Trump has done business with the country for years, even bragging during his presidential campaign about the large amount of money Saudi buyers paid for his apartments. "Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million," he said at a rally in Mobile, Alabama in August, 2015. "Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much." This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman delves into all the ways Saudi Arabia is intertwined with U.S. business interests including those of the president himself, with David Fahrenthold, who reports on Trump's business interests for The Washington Post, and Joe Nocera, business columnist for Bloomberg Opinion.

Sports bettors have a lot to celebrate this week. On Monday, the Supreme Court struck down a 1992 federal law that had banned betting on sports in most states. In effect, the decision paved the way for any state to legalize gambling on sports. The ruling comes from a years-long court battle led by the state of New Jersey, which is expected to be among the first states to implement legal gambling. Tax-collectors, leagues, owners and fans are seeing a lot of dollar signs. But who will benefit the most, and when? This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman speaks with Joe Nocera, an op-ed columnist for Bloomberg, and David Purdum, a sports betting reporter at ESPN.

This week the multi-million dollar world of college basketball got hit with allegations of bribery, corruption and fraud. This comes after a three year investigation that involved wiretaps, an FBI informant and undercover agents. Ten people, including four Division I coaches and an Adidas executive, have been arrested.   When it comes to exposing corruption in college basketball, Joe Nocera, a Bloomberg View columnist and the author of Indentured: The Inside Story of the Rebellion Against the NCAA, thinks this is just the beginning.  "There's definitely an implication on part the of the prosecutors and the FBI that they're only at the beginning of this," said Nocera. "Once you uncover this rock, it's not just going to be one worm, or two worms, or one rat, it's going to be dozens."  This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman talks with Nocera about the recent NCAA controversy and what it means for the big business of college sports.
