What on earth is going on in Brazil? Less than a year after impeaching one president for fiddling fiscal accounts, her successor is on the ropes amid allegations of graft. Dig a little deeper and the real problem is a recession deeper than any the country has ever experienced. With Brazil one of the world's 10 largest economies -- and Latin America's largest -- it matters beyond the nation's borders. Sao Paulo native Vivianne Rodrigues, who runs Latin American political news at Bloomberg, joins Dan and Scott to explain what gives. We also hear that the gas station in Brasilia at the center of the scandal doesn't actually have a car wash!

Bloomberg's David Wilson and Vivianne Rodrigues tell Lisa Abramowicz explain how Brazil's corruption crises are roiling the markets. Then, Max Abelson, a Bloomberg finance reporter, talks about the key takeaways from Steven Mnuchin's testimony before Congress.
