Podcast appearances and mentions of Nancy Cook

When Donald Trump unveiled that big list of countries and their respective tariffs, the markets reacted immediately by nosediving. In the days since, business leaders, tech founders and global CEOs have been making noise about how their companies will be negatively impacted. And even though Elon Musk is now part of the Trump administration, he’s also jumped into the fray, feuding with Trump adjutant Peter Navarro on (where else?) X. This is the biggest split between Trump and Musk we’ve seen yet. To talk about these developments, Elon, Inc. regulars Dana Hull and Max Chafkin are joined by Bloomberg editor Craig Trudell and political correspondent Nancy Cook.

In the aftermath of Donald Trump's felony conviction for fraud, his followers scrambled to be first to reaffirm their fealty to the twice-impeached Republican. But for some reason, Trump's new status as a convict also was accompanied by a resurgence of stories about another right-wing figure—Elon Musk—and their warming relationship.  Bloomberg has reported on how Musk is advising the presumptive GOP presidential candidate on all things crypto (maybe Dogecoin?), and the Wall Street Journal has related details about their time together in Florida—as well as the Tesla chief executive's potential role in a second Trump administration. Bloomberg's national politics correspondent Nancy Cook joins Max Chafkin and Kurt Wagner to talk about all of this. Also, the panel looked at some recent legal issues. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The first act in the Republican Party's presidential primary season, the Iowa caucuses, has come and gone. Other contests in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Michigan, and the collection of 15 Super Tuesday states all lie ahead.

On today's podcast: 1) The US launched more strikes on Yemen's Houthis overnight as the Iran-backed militant group continues to roil global shipping markets with attacks around the Red Sea. 2) Oil nudged higher as twin incidents in the Middle East underlined the region's rapidly escalating tensions, which have already snarled global shipping and carry the potential for interruptions to crude production. 3) Apple Inc. will begin selling versions of its Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches without a blood oxygen feature in the US, following a legal setback in its patent dispute with Masimo Corp. Full Transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with rising tensions in the Middle East. The US carried out more strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen overnight, as the Iran backed militant group continues to go after red Sea shipping. This is at least the fourth US led attack on the Houthis in the past week. Major General pat Ryder speaks for the Pentagon. The objective here was to disrupt and degrade Hoothy capabilities to conduct attacks, and we believe that overall, in terms of the scope and the number of strikes that we took, we have degraded their ability to attack. Pentagon spokesman pat Ryder says the US targeted fourteen Hoothi missiles that were primed for launch. Meanwhile, Nathan Pakistan's military has carried out strikes against what it describes as terrorist hideouts in Iran. The move came after Iran attacked a separatist group in a Pakistani province along its border. Bloomberg's Middle East Economics and Government editor Paul Wallace says the escalator is very unusual. The two have a complicated but normally quite cordial relationship. This is pretty much unprecedented what we're seeing now with both of them striking each other's territory. Of course, they're not going for the other government as it were, They are going for what they call our terrorists in each other's territory. But I think what we're seeing is this is just the latest arena opening up in the wider Milesian conflict that began in early October when Hamas attack Israel, and Bloomberg's Paul Wallace says Pakistan is recalling it's envoy from Tehran. Well here in these latest incidents in the Middle East have oil on the rise. This morning, checking Nimax crewed, it's up eight tens of one percent. It's seventy three dollars fifteen cents per barrel. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency says global oil markets are likely to remain reasonably well supplied this year, provided there are no major disruptions. Well, Nathan and the political front at home, the long awaited conversation between President Biden and congressional leaders over Ukraine AID did not yield results in Bloomberg said. Baxter has the story the GOP issue going in border border border at House Speaker Mike Johnson says that's what he talked about. I told the President what I have been saying for many months, and that is that we must have change at the border, substantive policy shame and says that was not in the offing. Different picture from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. If we don't come to Ukraine's aid that the consequences for America around the globe would be nothing short of devastating, and President Biden says he told congressional leaders that they must act now on the border. At Baxter Bloomberg Radio, all right, ed, thanks. Secretary of Saint Anthony Blincoln has been representing the US at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week. He left Switzerland yesterday, but not before a delay on the tarmac. There was an oxygen leak on his Boeing jet and it couldn't be fixed, so a smaller jet had to be flown in from Brussels to take b Lincoln back to Washington. Many of his aides and members of the press pool had to fly commercially well. Speaking of DeVos, Nathan Bloomberg News has been speaking all week to executives and politicians from around the world at the World Economic Forum This morning, we caught up with the CEO of Barclays Csvakata Krishnan defended his firm's investment banking division. We are the leading investment bank domicide outside of the United States, and what I find in my travels, especially in the world and the geopolitical world in which we live, is people are looking for a partner in a counterpart who's not just a US bank. Cs Venkata Krishnan ed of that Barclays has been reviewing its strategy for months. He spoke with Bloomberg's franc In Laqua at the World Economic Forum in Davos. All turning to Wall Street, Karen investors are waiting for another key economic report as doubt grows on when the Fed will start cutting rates. Let's get the latest with Bloomberg's John Tucker. John and Nathan Jobless claims could be particularly telling now that seasonal layoffs around the holidays are largely complete. Bloomberg Economics says there have been plenty of signs the labor market is weakening fast. This data comes as traders have recalibrated their wagers and the timing and extent of indust rate cuts. The swaps pricing shows the chances of a FED rate cut at March. Slip blows sixty percent for the first time since the middle of December. That's down from eighty percent just on Friday. The poly see sensitive two year yield jump fourteen basis points on Wednesday, its biggest one day gain since June. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio. All right, John, thanks. In corporate news, Apple we'll sell it smartwatches without a blood oxygen feature in the United States after it lost a legal dispute with the health technology company Massimo. The new models will still include the blood oxygen monitoring tool, but it won't function. And in another blow to Apple, Karen Netflix says it's not planning to launch an app for the Vision Pro headset. This is a sizeable omission for the thirty five hundred dollars technology, which debuts next month. Apple's banking on entertainment content to help market the Vision Pro. Netflix is a must have streaming service for many consumers, and staying in the tech sector here Nathan Cheryl's sen Berg, we'll step down from the board of Meta Platforms this year. We get more from Bloomberg's Doug Prisner. Sandberg joined Facebook in two thousand and eight as second to co founder Mark Zuckerberg, and she served as chief operating officer, helping to grow Facebook from a promising internet startup into a digital advertising powerhouse. Sandberg often served as the public face of the company, particularly among policymakers and regulators. She left the COO roll in twenty twenty two, but remained a director. At the same time, Sandberg began spending more time on philanthropic efforts. Now she'll serve as an advisor to Meta. It's unclear if Meta plans to replace Sandberg on the board. In New York Time, Doug Prisoner, Bloomberg Radio Hall, Ry Nathan, Thanks, it's time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Amy, good morning, Good morning, Karen. The Senate is set to hold a series of votes on the final passage of that stockgap funding bill. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Shutmer says it's next up to the House. We hope that the House will take up this bill before the Friday deadline, with bipartisan support. The stopgap funding bill is expected to easily pass the Senate today. The funding deadlines tomorrow night. The New Hampshire primary only days away. Nikki haley 'ron de Santa's trying to push ahead after Donald Trump's commanding performance in Iowa. Bloomberg Senior national political correspondent Nancy Cook tells us Donald Trump has turned his focus now to Nicki Haley. Trump is sending out missives about Nikki Hilly. They're advertising against her. He's doing rallies and what he's going to and he and his team are going to spend the week doing is really calling out Nikki Hilly on a bunch of policy positions past date means she's made on raising the retirement age, what she has said on China, and it's really going to be vicious for the next week. Bloomberg Senior national political correspondent Nancy Cook says Haley does need a strong showing in New Hampshire before moving on to her home state of South Carolina, which Cook says is Trump Country. The anniversary of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade comes up on Monday. Senate Democrats held a briefing on the state of abortion rights in the US, and they were joined by doctor Austin Dennard, an obgyn in Texas. We no longer have the basic human rights for freedom and self determination that my mother and her generation relied on for nearly fifty years. The lawmakers suggested the vast majority of Americans support the right to abortion, and that it should be women making decisions about their pregnancies, not politicians or judges. Fourteen Democrats are joining House Republicans and denouncing President Biden's border policies. A GOP resolution passed in the House yesterday with full Republican support, urging Biden to end what they call his administration's open border policy. Former President Trump says he is the one who should be seeing a payday from the Egene to Carrol defamation trial. A judge overseeing Carroll's defamation trial against Trump threatened to toss him out after Carroll's lawyers complained that he was making comments that the jury could hear global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News. Now. I'm Amy Morris, and this is Bloomberg. Karen, All right, Amy, thank you. What we do bring you news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But now, as Amy said, you can get the latest news on demand. That means whenever you want it, to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now, and you can get the latest headlines right at the click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com plus apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. So nice time. Now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, here's John stash Hour. John Karny can forget about the idea of Bill Belichay coaching the Dallas Cowboys. Mike McCarthy is keeping his job. I'll be back for a fifth season. He's certainly had regular season success in Dallas, not so much in the postseason, where he's one to three, and of course the Cowboys were just upset at home by Green Bay. As for Belichick's old job in New England and now belongs to Gerard and Mayo, he was a former Patriots player and assistant coach. He actually had it written into his contract that he will replace fellowchick. I'm not trying to be Bill. I think that Bill is his own man. If you can't sell by now, I'm a little bit different even up here. But what I will say is, you know, the more I think about, the more I think about, like the lessons side I've taken from Bill hard work works. Mayo gets the job at the age of thirty seven. Trade the NBA Toronto, who made a big trade with the Knicks, recently made another one with Indiana. Sidney two time All star in Pascal Siakam to the Pacers for Bruce Brown and three first round draft picks. The Raptors then won by twenty four over Miami. The Celtics won easily over San Antonio once seventeen to ninety eight, and the Celtics are now twenty to zero at home. Lakers beat Dallas, Knicks beat Houston, Portland a two point win over Brooklyn College Basketball Yukon number one in the country now sixteen and two with a win over Creighton at the Australian Open. The top seat on the women's side, Aschiantek had some troubles but got by Danielle collins Ken's fish. There were bloomberg sport from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syria's Exam, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Geopolitical risk has certainly not gone away for markets, but now it's getting even more attention following the latest US strikes on Hoothy targets in Yemen. There was another round overnight. Now Pakistan is engaged in tit for tit attacks with the Hoothy's main backer, Iran. All this as the war between Israel and Hamas rages on in Gaza. So for the very latest, we are joined by Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill start us off with the latest on these US strikes against the Houthies. What's the latest, Hi, Thanks for having me, Nathan ut overnight. It's just been a busy past several hours. Overnight, the US launched strikes on what it said were fourteen Houtie missiles and Yemen that they said presented an imminent threat to vessels in the region. They said these missiles were basically loaded and ready to be fired off, and that the US was acting preemptively to target them and destroy them before they could do more damage. It's the fourth round of US strikes or US led strikes on Yemen over really about the last week or so, and it came just hours after the UTIES managed to launch another attack on a commercial vessel, a US owned vessel in the Red Sea. So I think what we've seen is that these multiple rounds of attacks have not prevented the HUTIES from being able to still get some strikes in against ships in the Red Sea, and that of course has been a big disruption for global trade. You've got a lot of shipping companies trying to re route around the around the Tip of Africa or find other ways to get their goods to market, and we're seeing modest movement in the oil market in light of these latest attacks. Is there a risk now that the US could be drawn even further into action in Yemen, given that we are still seeing the HOO, the THEES managing to carry out strikes in the Red Sea. Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's nobody really at this point talking about some kind of a ground invasion or anything, but there are you know, the US and its allies have a lot of firepower based in the Red Sea. At this point there aren't nearly as many commercial vessels going through there, but they're still unable to stop these kind of attacks, and you have to start wondering how long can this go on? How long will global trade be disrupted, When will that really start to emerge in the prices that consumers pay for a whole range of goods, and what of course will be the human cost on all this. But it's certainly seems at this point that this could drag on for weeks, if not months, and this raises a question as well about whether Iran can bring any influence to bear here. But now we're seeing Iran engaged in attacks with Pakistan, and of course it continues to back has Balan of course Hamas in Gaza exactly, and they're actually even on top of all that, there was an Iranian attack on a facility in northern Iraq just a day or so ago. But yeah, the latest we found that Pakistan had a reprisal attack against Iran overnight responding to attacks from Iran. On Wednesday, they hit targeted strikes on what they said were militant hideouts in Iran. And this is not something that really anyone was really predicting. Even a weaker or so ago, you'd have Pakistan and Iran involved in some kind of a conflict. It does look like now that both sides are trying to find a way to talk each other down. You even have the Pakistan Army saying that it's a time for dialogue. It was a similar message coming out of Pakistan's Foreign ministry today. But it is a very unsettled situation, and of course both sides have to play to their domestic political constituencies. So while there is some expectation that maybe there's been a proportionate response and things will start to ease, there's no certainty of that at this point. And of course a Pakistan and Iran both have the support and alliance with China. Is there a role for China here in trying to bring some of these tensions in the Middle East down from a boil. Yeah. Publicly, China is not saying very much other than that it's tracking the developments and they said they want both sides to exercise restraint and calmness. But I would think you would think behind the scenes, China does not want to see two of its kind of key allies in that region fighting with each other. That's a big distress for it, I think. I think so far China has been happy to see the US taking the lead in places like the Red Sea. It has not engaged with the Israel Hamas conflict very much at all. But it doesn't want to see its partners starting to fight, you know, and militarily start to go after each other in such a critical part of the world. This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed at six am Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app. Serious XMVI iHeartRadio app and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

The Big Take DC podcast has a special episode from Iowa to unpack the results of the first contest in the race for the Republican nomination. Former President Donald Trump's landslide win was called before some caucus sites had even started debating. And the race for No. 2? Ron DeSantis won, with Nikki Haley coming in third. Big Take DC host Saleha Mohsin is joined by Bloomberg's Nancy Cook and Josh Green to unpack the outcome of the caucuses, what it means for the Republican party, and what it could tell us about the 2024 presidential race ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The past year has been relentless for news, with indictments of a former US president, wars in Europe and the Middle East, and Earth's hottest year on record. It was a big year, too, for equality news in the US — including headlines that corporations made good on their 2020 vows to hire more people of color. But 2023 also saw challenges to affirmative action and access to abortion medication, and there are more questions for the year ahead. Will a diverse pool of workers hired in 2021, largely to entry-level jobs, be retained and promoted? How will working parents and especially mothers, who benefited from pandemic-era flexible work, weather shrinking childcare options? Bloomberg Equality reporter Kelsey Butler and Businessweek senior writer Claire Suddath join Nancy Cook to discuss these and other stories they're watching.

Most American voters are dissatisfied with both President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump. Barring any health surprises (Biden is 81 and Trump is 77) or other major twists (Trump is a defendant in four felony prosecutions), one of them is almost certainly going to win when voters go to the polls on Nov. 5, 2024. How are these two, currently unpopular candidates poised to become their parties' presidential nominees without so much as a serious challenge? Bloomberg Businessweek national correspondent Joshua Green talks with Nancy Cook about how voters and donors are feeling about another Trump-Biden matchup.

The months-long fight over raising the debt ceiling is finally over. That means the threat of the US defaulting on its debts, and the resulting economic crisis, is off the table – at least for the next two years. So what happened?

Around the world, a looming problem is making workers nervous–and angry. People in many countries are living longer, and at some point governments will run out of money to pay their retirement benefits.One solution some politicians are pushing: raising the retirement age for workers.

Voters in Brazil just took a leftward turn in electing former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, ousting the far-right populist incumbent. Next week, polls show US voters may move in the opposite direction, dealing a blow to Democratic President Joe Biden and his party. This week's Stephanomics episode explores the economic and political winds in two of the world's largest nations. First, Flanders talks US midterms with Anna Wong, Bloomberg's chief US economist, and reporter Nancy Cook. Overall, the US economy is functioning better than it appears to those focusing on inflation, with a strong job market and high balances in bank accounts, Wong says. Yet, high prices have a way of making consumers feel things are gloomier than they are, and that's not good for Democrats. And if Republicans seize control of one or both houses of Congress, Cook notes that will spell the end of meaningful economic legislation from the Biden administration until the end of the term. Next, reporter Maria Eloisa Capurro explains the challenges facing Lula after his defeat of Jair Bolsonaro. Brazil has seen progress this year on inflation, with rates falling from 12% to an expected 5.6% next month. However, economists note the improvement is less impressive than it seems, generated in large part by tax cuts instead of real changes in the economy. Meantime, the new president will be under pressure to deliver on campaign promises to cut taxes for the poor, increase them for the rich and provide a minimum income level for the most needy. In a follow-up discussion, analyst Richard Back of XP Investimentos in Brazil shares with host Stephanie Flanders why he thinks Lula is likely to propose moderate economic policies, despite his progressive reputation. With many acolytes of Bolsonaro still in Brazil's National Congress, Lula knows he cannot be "radical or revengeful," Back says. International investors see the new president as someone who "will make distortions, but he's not the guy that will blow everything."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While still recovering from a coronavirus-induced recession, the U.S. may be rushing into a new downturn, this time thanks to inflation. Its economy faces no shortage of potential peril in 2022, Bloomberg chief economist Tom Orlik says, with the Federal Reserve looking set to raise interest rates to fight rising prices, and as Congress seems unlikely to pass any more big spending bills. That's one of the takeaways from the Stephanomics global preview of 2022, in which Stephanie and a panel of experts look into their crystal balls for political and economic insights. On the political front, French President Emmanuel Macron looks poised to win reelection in France next spring, but U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces a 40% chance of losing power, with "strong upward pressure" on that number, says Mujtaba Rahman of the political risk consultancy Eurasia Group. In the U.S., the fate of President Joe Biden and fellow Democrats may depend on inflation. With midterm elections on the horizon, they could be toast if it lingers too long, Bloomberg White House reporter Nancy Cook says. Bloomberg Green editor Aaron Rutkoff sees Biden being powerless to improve U.S. emissions if he can't get the climate component of his Build Back Better agenda passed. And Orlik sees a novelty in the U.S.-China relationship, where China will probably go its own way and cut interest rates while the U.S. raises them.

U.S. President Biden marked the end of his 100th day in office this week with a sweeping $1.8 trillion plan for families. It’s just the latest in a suite of measures that would remake the U.S. tax code and social welfare programs, vastly expanding federal support even for households that consider themselves upper-middle class while substantially shifting the overall tax burden to the wealthy. Bloomberg White House reporter Nancy Cook and Federal Reserve reporter Rich Miller join host Stephanie Flanders to discuss the Democrat’s performance so far and whether he will actually be able to deliver. Meanwhile, the unequal impact of Covid-19 continues to reverberate through the U.S. economy.

Three world-class professors from Boston, Massachusetts, were the winners of the 2016 International Aspirin Foundation Senior Science Award for their work on the two largest ever randomised trials of aspirin. Nancy Cook, Michael Gaziano and Julie Buring have led the teams in Boston that have been responsible for the running and subsequent long-term follow-up of the trials of aspirin in prevention of vascular events and other pathology – Physicians’ Health Study and Women’s Health Study. As well as answering key questions about the benefits and risks of aspirin, these trials also developed methodology for conducting large randomised trials to a very high standard at remarkably low cost. Lessons from their pioneering work in this area have influenced the design of subsequent trials of aspirin and many other interventions. The award which recognises significant scientific research was open to those who contribute to the scientific knowledge of aspirin/acetylsalicylic acid. Professor Peter Rothwell FMedSci, chair of the International Aspirin Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board said of the award: “This prestigious award recognises scientists who endeavour to better understand what this long-established drug can do to improve human health. In terms of reliably determining what aspirin achieves in primary prevention of disease, these three senior investigators on the PHS and WHS trials have each made very major contributions to both scientific understanding and to guiding clinical practice.” Receiving the award at the presentation ceremony, Professor Nancy Cook added: “I am honoured to receive this award along with my colleagues in Boston. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on questions regarding aspirin in the rich data provided by the PHS and WHS.”
