Republican leaders and President Donald Trump had 188 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: resisted the issue for months. Now Congress is making quick 189 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: work of a bill to release more of the Justice 190 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: departments Jeffrey Epstein files, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer 191 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 2: says the president is still a wild card. 192 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 4: There's no reason it can't be on the President's desk 193 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 4: in an hour. The president has to sign it. You 194 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 4: never know what's him said he would let's wait and see, and. 195 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: Was Minority Leader Chuck Schumer after the Senate agreed to 196 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: pass the Epstein transparency bill without changes from the House. 197 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: Joining us now is Terry Haynes, founder of Pangaea Policy. Terry, 198 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 2: Good morning. President Trump has said he has nothing to hide. 199 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: It's time to move on. He says he'll sign this bill. 200 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 2: Will Washington move on from Jeffrey Epstein? 201 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 12: Good morning, Hi, Good morning, Nathan. Well, there's always the 202 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 12: pull of bread and circuses, and that's very strong. So 203 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 12: I imagine the Epstein obsession will continue. And if I 204 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 12: say that with no effort at all to try to 205 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 12: sweep it under the rug. The man was a monster, 206 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 12: and there's been a bonfire of the vanities with the elites 207 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 12: for a long time here. But Washington's going to have 208 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 12: to get past this. What I suspect is that the 209 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 12: continuing wrangling around, first with courts about the information and 210 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 12: secondly about what and whether the Justice Apartment may do 211 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 12: with redacting names and trying to trying to protect the innocent. 212 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 12: There's a here complicates things and keeps the thing simmering. 213 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: Well, how will the bill square with the Justice Department's 214 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: determination that it's going to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's links to 215 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: prominent democrats. 216 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 12: Well, that's an additional complication too, And and we'll see, 217 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 12: you know, in the Justice Department could take a long 218 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 12: time tap dance. The Justice Department could bring up what 219 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 12: it's already got and and make that the basis for 220 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 12: whatever it does in the context or release. There's no 221 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 12: way to tell which it will do. I suspect what 222 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 12: I've got is probably a little bit of both, frankly, 223 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 12: but you know, you see in the you know kind 224 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 12: of things that Larry Summers, for example, said a few 225 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 12: days ago about his own involvement, that there's very likely 226 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 12: going to be more involvement across the board from people 227 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 12: either named or not named, and this is going to 228 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 12: splash in unpredictable ways. 229 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: Now we should note, of course, Larrie Summers is no 230 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: longer a paid contributor to Bloomberg Television as well. I 231 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: want to get your take as well, Terry on the 232 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: announcements around Saudi Arabia with the Crown Prince Salmon in Washington, 233 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: this Defense Pact announced last night, the designation as a 234 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: non NATO ally. How significant is this? 235 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 12: I think it's very significant, and I encourage markets to 236 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 12: look at it in the broader geopolitical context. Both over 237 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 12: the past few months and today. You know the US 238 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 12: moves that have been to try to help establish peace 239 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 12: in Gaza, a process which has been un ratified just 240 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 12: this week. You've had the Iran situation. You've had US 241 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 12: trying to shore up Argentina to reduce in part to 242 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 12: reduce Chinese dominance in South America. You've got Russia under 243 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 12: moreunder more pressure, and you've got six months of the 244 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 12: United States and China not being able to conclude an 245 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 12: agreement on among other things, rare earth, so very very significant. 246 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 12: In the middle of all that, what the United States 247 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 12: says this week is that Saudi is now a major 248 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 12: non NATO ally and is moving to Both countries are 249 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 12: moving to shore up the three pillars of security and defense, 250 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 12: energy in the economy, and geopolitical including diplomacy and hopefully 251 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 12: a peace process in Israel. China's response to all this 252 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 12: is not just to snimy the US and the West 253 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 12: on rare earths, but is also now to Barrett's teeth 254 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 12: at Japan, in addition to others in the South China Sea, 255 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 12: including the Philippines. So this is a situation where the 256 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 12: geopolitical risk remains very high, and in the middle of 257 00:13:53,960 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 12: all that, the United States keeps flanking China on geopolitical interdependent. 258 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 259 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 3: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 260 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 261 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 262 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 263 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 264 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 265 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston and nationwide on serious 266 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 3: XM Channel one twenty one. 267 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business App 268 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 269 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
