1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Good morning. 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 2: stories we're following today. 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Karen will have more on the markets in a minute, 5 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: but first, we have a major development in the race 6 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: for the White House. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled 7 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump cannot appear on the presidential primary ballot in 8 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: that state. We have team coverage beginning with Bloomberg's at Baxter. 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 3: The ruling, while at the same time pausing it to 10 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 3: allow the US Supreme Court to rule. The Colorado Court 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 3: set under the Fourteenth Amendment, Trump qualified as an insurrectionist 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 3: and therefore cannot hold office, thereby taking him off the ballot. 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 3: So among the issues for the highest court whether Trump 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 3: is actually an insurrectionist and whether the Fourteenth Amendment refers 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 3: to the office of president. Trump's attorneys say they will appeal, 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: and his campaign is issued a statement so reading verbatim here, Unsurprisingly, 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 3: the all Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: President Trump, supporting a Sorrow's funded li left wing group 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of crook 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 3: of Joe Biden.

The Colorado decision comes just 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: weeks before the first votes will be cast in the 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: Republican presidential race. Bloomberg News Managing editor Derek Wallbank continues, 25 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: our team coverage. 26 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 4: Trump will be going before voters in the first primary 27 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 4: state of Iowa, where they have caucuses, and Trump is 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 4: right now well above fifty percent support in Iowa. He's 29 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 4: got a thirty point plus lead in the polls, and 30 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 4: so very soon the decision that was taken in Colorado 31 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 4: will come into immense conflict with the state of Iowa, 32 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 4: where he is right now polling like he's going to win. 33 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: And Bloomberg's Derek Wallbank notes those Iowa caucuses are less 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: than four weeks away. 35 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: And former President Trump was back in Iowa last night, Karen. 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: He didn't mention the Colorado ruling, but he did double 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: down on anti immigrant rhetoric that's had members of both 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: parties comparing his words to Adolf Hitler. 39 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 5: They're ruining our country, and it's true. They're destroying the 40 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 5: blood of our country. That's what they're doing. They're destroying 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 5: our country. They don't like it when I said that, 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 5: and I never read mind com they said, Oh, Hitler 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 5: said that in a much different way. Now they're coming 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 5: from all over the world. 45 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: The former president made those comments at a stop in Waterloo, Iowa, 46 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: at his own campaign fundraiser. Last night, President Biden warned 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: donors that America could lose its democracy if Trump wins 48 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: the White House next year. 49 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, we now turned to the latest developments in 50 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: the Middle East.

It is another first in the norm 203 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: breaking political career of Donald Trump. For the first time 204 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: a court has found the former president ineligible to run 205 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: again for the White House because of his actions on 206 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: January sixth, twenty twenty one. This ruling from the Colorado 207 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Supreme Court under the Constitution's insurrection clause in the Fourteenth 208 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: Amendment is now headed for a test before the US 209 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. And for more. We're joined by Terry Haynes, 210 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: the founder of Pangaepolicy. Terry, good morning, your reaction to 211 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: this ruling? 212 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 13: Hi, Nathan, good morning. The thing to understand here is 213 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 13: the sort of obvious this won't be over quickly. Firstly, 214 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 13: the Supreme Court of the United States almost certainly takes 215 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 13: this up because there are two federal rights that are implicated. First, 216 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 13: Fourteenth Amendments insurrection clause, which has never really been interpreted 217 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 13: by the court. But whatever else you can say about 218 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 13: this ruling, state courts are not meant to be the 219 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 13: final arbiters of federal rights. So that you know this 220 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 13: is going to go to the Supreme Court, who will 221 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 13: take which will take it up just for the Fourteenth 222 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 13: Amendment matter alone. And then there's a matter that the 223 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 13: three descending Colorado justices three out of seven, So this 224 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 13: is hardly the ut animous ruling or anything close to it. 225 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 13: The three descending justices point out, which is a Fifth 226 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 13: Amendment due process claim, the idea that procedural due process 227 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 13: needs to apply here, and whatever else you can say 228 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 13: about the state process. What we're talking about here is 229 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 13: the appeal of the in Colorado is the appeal of 230 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 13: a state court trial ruling that in a trial had 231 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 13: that started less than two months ago. So the idea 232 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 13: that such an important federal right as the ability to 233 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 13: run for office can be can be ended in a 234 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 13: state by a state court, you know, in a quick 235 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 13: trial proceeding, is also something that I think the court 236 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 13: takes up. In both cases, I think the the Supreme 237 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 13: Court overturns Colorado. But in terms of practical impact, this 238 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 13: is the beginning of a lot of legal challenges, both 239 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 13: on primary ballots, which is what Colorado is, and also 240 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 13: proceedings to take Trump off the ballot in the general 241 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 13: election and those haven't even really started yet. So sorry 242 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 13: to go on, but complexity here. 243 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 12: Yeah, certainly. 244 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: Well, I want to ask you whether there is where 245 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: there could be a difference for the Supreme Court when 246 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: it comes to the question of primary versus general election ballots. 247 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a pretty significant difference, isn't it. 248 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a significan a difference. But in terms of 249 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 13: the constitutional question, the constitutional question here is really the same. 250 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 13: You know, firstly, the whether the candidate you're kind of 251 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 13: what the scope of the Insurrection Clause is. And not 252 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 13: only has the Insurrection Clause been around since, you know, 253 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 13: just after the Civil War eighteen sixty eight, but one 254 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 13: section of the Fourteenth Amendment is the Congress the sole 255 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 13: ability to put laws together to interpret that and enforce it. 256 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 13: And Congress never really did that. That Congress kind of 257 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 13: did the opposite. They engaged as the years went on 258 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 13: and more and more amnesties of Confederates that were subject 259 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 13: to the clause. So you know, there's a situation where 260 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 13: this part of the Constitution has never been interpreted by 261 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 13: the Supreme Court firstly, and secondly, Congress has never really 262 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 13: tried to enforce it in a in a consistent manner, 263 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 13: so that that kind of cries out all by itself 264 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 13: for a Supreme Court ruling here, because whatever else you 265 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 13: can say about Trump or the insurrection claim or anything else, uh, 266 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 13: it is you know, it's you know, the background that 267 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 13: I just cited here, the very quick trial, the perceived 268 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 13: lack of due process by three Colorado justices, I think 269 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 13: makes this a case ripe for the Supreme Court, and 270 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 13: they've got really got to step in. 271 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: We lot, we have about a minute left here, Terry, 272 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: but we know that the former president has been able 273 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: to rally support around all these legal challenges he've been facing, 274 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court potentially coming into this and deciding 275 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: this constitutional question. What could that mean for democratic support 276 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: from President Biden? 277 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 13: Well, I think it, uh, I think it firms it 278 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 13: up a tiny bit. Firstly, deeconitely, you know, it makesh 279 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 13: It'll be what will be the case that'll be made 280 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 13: is that Biden, you know, needs to be the preserver 281 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 13: of democracy and all the rest, and you know that'll 282 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 13: have some some residents. The other thing I would say 283 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 13: about Trump is really it's a fork in the road. 284 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 13: On the one hand, you can see a supporters really 285 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 13: feeling like he's his claims that he's being singled out 286 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 13: or validated. But on the other hand, it may cause 287 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 13: voters in early primary states to seek an alternative. We 288 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 13: don't know that, but we will in the next few weeks. 289 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 290 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 291 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 292 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 293 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 294 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 295 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 296 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 297 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: Bloomberg one six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine 298 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: sixty in San Francisco. 299 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 300 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
