Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.
Speaker 1: Karen will have more on the markets in a minute,
Speaker 1: but first, we have a major development in the race
Speaker 1: for the White House. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled
Speaker 1: Donald Trump cannot appear on the presidential primary ballot in
Speaker 1: that state. We have team coverage beginning with Bloomberg's at Baxter.
Speaker 3: The ruling, while at the same time pausing it to
Speaker 3: allow the US Supreme Court to rule. The Colorado Court
Speaker 3: set under the Fourteenth Amendment, Trump qualified as an insurrectionist
Speaker 3: and therefore cannot hold office, thereby taking him off the ballot.
Speaker 3: So among the issues for the highest court whether Trump
Speaker 3: is actually an insurrectionist and whether the Fourteenth Amendment refers
Speaker 3: to the office of president. Trump's attorneys say they will appeal,
Speaker 3: and his campaign is issued a statement so reading verbatim here, Unsurprisingly,
Speaker 3: the all Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against
Speaker 3: President Trump, supporting a Sorrow's funded li left wing group
Speaker 3: scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of crook
Speaker 3: of Joe Biden. For beatim from the statement ed Baxter
Speaker 3: Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, ed, thanks well. The Colorado decision comes just
Speaker 2: weeks before the first votes will be cast in the
Speaker 2: Republican presidential race. Bloomberg News Managing editor Derek Wallbank continues,
Speaker 2: our team coverage.
Speaker 4: Trump will be going before voters in the first primary
Speaker 4: state of Iowa, where they have caucuses, and Trump is
Speaker 4: right now well above fifty percent support in Iowa. He's
Speaker 4: got a thirty point plus lead in the polls, and
Speaker 4: so very soon the decision that was taken in Colorado
Speaker 4: will come into immense conflict with the state of Iowa,
Speaker 4: where he is right now polling like he's going to win.
Speaker 2: And Bloomberg's Derek Wallbank notes those Iowa caucuses are less
Speaker 2: than four weeks away.
Speaker 1: And former President Trump was back in Iowa last night, Karen.
Speaker 1: He didn't mention the Colorado ruling, but he did double
Speaker 1: down on anti immigrant rhetoric that's had members of both
Speaker 1: parties comparing his words to Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 5: They're ruining our country, and it's true. They're destroying the
Speaker 5: blood of our country. That's what they're doing. They're destroying
Speaker 5: our country. They don't like it when I said that,
Speaker 5: and I never read mind com they said, Oh, Hitler
Speaker 5: said that in a much different way. Now they're coming
Speaker 5: from all over the world.
Speaker 1: The former president made those comments at a stop in Waterloo, Iowa,
Speaker 1: at his own campaign fundraiser. Last night, President Biden warned
Speaker 1: donors that America could lose its democracy if Trump wins
Speaker 1: the White House next year.
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, we now turned to the latest developments in
Speaker 2: the Middle East. Israeli President Isaac Herzog says his country
Speaker 2: is prepared to agree to a second humanitarian pause in
Speaker 2: fighting in exchange for the return of more hostages held
Speaker 2: by Hamas, and Hamas says its top leader has arrived
Speaker 2: in Cairo for talks. Here's White House and National Security
Speaker 2: spokesperson John Kirby, we do support smaller, more localized, more
Speaker 2: targeted humanitarian pauses to get hostages out and to get
Speaker 2: more aid in. White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby
Speaker 2: says Hamas still holds about one hundred and twenty nine
Speaker 2: of the two hundred and forty or more people it
Speaker 2: abducted in October.
Speaker 1: Well, Meanwhile, Karen Ukraine heads into the new year with
Speaker 1: no guarantee of more USA lawmakers have been at an
Speaker 1: impasse over more than sixty billion dollars in fresh assistance.
Speaker 1: Now they have abandoned efforts to reach a deal before
Speaker 1: their holiday break. Here's Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 6: The bottom line, both Democrats and Republicans understand that there's
Speaker 6: more work to do to pass legislation protecting America's security
Speaker 6: and the security of the Western world.
Speaker 1: Yeah that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Republican lawmakers are
Speaker 1: demanding more restrictive border and immigration policies in exchange for
Speaker 1: war aid.
Speaker 2: Well. Turning to the markets now, Nathan Stocks entering the

Speaker 2: Raphael boss Stick says he does not see urgency to
Speaker 2: lower rates next year.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking if this is going to come down relatively
Speaker 4: slowly in the next six months, which means that there's
Speaker 4: not going to be urgency for us to start to
Speaker 4: pull off of our restrictive stands.
Speaker 2: And like Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, Chicago FED President
Speaker 2: Austin Golesby, and the Cleveland Fed's Loretta Mester are all

Speaker 8: Good morning.
Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hager. It is another first in the norm
Speaker 1: breaking political career of Donald Trump. For the first time
Speaker 1: a court has found the former president ineligible to run
Speaker 1: again for the White House because of his actions on
Speaker 1: January sixth, twenty twenty one. This ruling from the Colorado
Speaker 1: Supreme Court under the Constitution's insurrection clause in the Fourteenth
Speaker 1: Amendment is now headed for a test before the US
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. And for more. We're joined by Terry Haynes,
Speaker 1: the founder of Pangaepolicy. Terry, good morning, your reaction to
Speaker 1: this ruling?
Speaker 13: Hi, Nathan, good morning. The thing to understand here is
Speaker 13: the sort of obvious this won't be over quickly. Firstly,
Speaker 13: the Supreme Court of the United States almost certainly takes
Speaker 13: this up because there are two federal rights that are implicated. First,
Speaker 13: Fourteenth Amendments insurrection clause, which has never really been interpreted
Speaker 13: by the court. But whatever else you can say about
Speaker 13: this ruling, state courts are not meant to be the
Speaker 13: final arbiters of federal rights. So that you know this
Speaker 13: is going to go to the Supreme Court, who will
Speaker 13: take which will take it up just for the Fourteenth
Speaker 13: Amendment matter alone. And then there's a matter that the
Speaker 13: three descending Colorado justices three out of seven, So this
Speaker 13: is hardly the ut animous ruling or anything close to it.
Speaker 13: The three descending justices point out, which is a Fifth
Speaker 13: Amendment due process claim, the idea that procedural due process
Speaker 13: needs to apply here, and whatever else you can say
Speaker 13: about the state process. What we're talking about here is
Speaker 13: the appeal of the in Colorado is the appeal of
Speaker 13: a state court trial ruling that in a trial had
Speaker 13: that started less than two months ago. So the idea
Speaker 13: that such an important federal right as the ability to
Speaker 13: run for office can be can be ended in a
Speaker 13: state by a state court, you know, in a quick
Speaker 13: trial proceeding, is also something that I think the court
Speaker 13: takes up. In both cases, I think the the Supreme
Speaker 13: Court overturns Colorado. But in terms of practical impact, this
Speaker 13: is the beginning of a lot of legal challenges, both
Speaker 13: on primary ballots, which is what Colorado is, and also
Speaker 13: proceedings to take Trump off the ballot in the general
Speaker 13: election and those haven't even really started yet. So sorry
Speaker 13: to go on, but complexity here.
Speaker 12: Yeah, certainly.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to ask you whether there is where
Speaker 1: there could be a difference for the Supreme Court when
Speaker 1: it comes to the question of primary versus general election ballots.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a pretty significant difference, isn't it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a significan a difference. But in terms of
Speaker 13: the constitutional question, the constitutional question here is really the same.
Speaker 13: You know, firstly, the whether the candidate you're kind of
Speaker 13: what the scope of the Insurrection Clause is. And not
Speaker 13: only has the Insurrection Clause been around since, you know,
Speaker 13: just after the Civil War eighteen sixty eight, but one
Speaker 13: section of the Fourteenth Amendment is the Congress the sole
Speaker 13: ability to put laws together to interpret that and enforce it.
Speaker 13: And Congress never really did that. That Congress kind of
Speaker 13: did the opposite. They engaged as the years went on
Speaker 13: and more and more amnesties of Confederates that were subject
Speaker 13: to the clause. So you know, there's a situation where
Speaker 13: this part of the Constitution has never been interpreted by
Speaker 13: the Supreme Court firstly, and secondly, Congress has never really
Speaker 13: tried to enforce it in a in a consistent manner,
Speaker 13: so that that kind of cries out all by itself
Speaker 13: for a Supreme Court ruling here, because whatever else you
Speaker 13: can say about Trump or the insurrection claim or anything else, uh,
Speaker 13: it is you know, it's you know, the background that
Speaker 13: I just cited here, the very quick trial, the perceived
Speaker 13: lack of due process by three Colorado justices, I think
Speaker 13: makes this a case ripe for the Supreme Court, and
Speaker 13: they've got really got to step in.
Speaker 1: We lot, we have about a minute left here, Terry,
Speaker 1: but we know that the former president has been able
Speaker 1: to rally support around all these legal challenges he've been facing,
Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court potentially coming into this and deciding
Speaker 1: this constitutional question. What could that mean for democratic support
Speaker 1: from President Biden?
Speaker 13: Well, I think it, uh, I think it firms it
Speaker 13: up a tiny bit. Firstly, deeconitely, you know, it makesh
Speaker 13: It'll be what will be the case that'll be made
Speaker 13: is that Biden, you know, needs to be the preserver
Speaker 13: of democracy and all the rest, and you know that'll
Speaker 13: have some some residents. The other thing I would say
Speaker 13: about Trump is really it's a fork in the road.
Speaker 13: On the one hand, you can see a supporters really
Speaker 13: feeling like he's his claims that he's being singled out
Speaker 13: or validated. But on the other hand, it may cause
Speaker 13: voters in early primary states to seek an alternative. We
Speaker 13: don't know that, but we will in the next few weeks.
