The judge has temporarily 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 3: blocked President Trump's effort to remove her from her position 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 3: at the FED. Bloomberg Markets reporter Valerie Titel says the 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 3: decision allows Cook to remain in her post while she 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 3: challenges the White House's attempt to oust her over allegations 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 3: of mortgage fraud, which Cook says are politically motivated. 11 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 4: This is a really important case to follow because this 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 4: is the first time a president has sought to remove 13 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 4: someone at the FED, and given the law written into 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 4: the Federal Reserve Act, the president can remove somebody for cause, 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 4: but it's very vague on what cause actually entails, and 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 4: this ruling really can have lasting effects on clarifying what 17 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 4: is justified as called in this scenario. 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Valery Titesell says the judge concluded the alleged misconduct 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 3: likely does not amount to cause for her removal. 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: Let's turn to the Middle East, now Nathan. Israel conducted 21 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: an unprecedented strike against senior Hamas leaders in the Katari 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: capital of Doha, escalating an already tense standoff between the 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 2: country and Arab nations over the war in Gaza. The 24 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 2: move drew criticism from the Trump administration, saying the bombing 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: did not advance Israeli or American goals in trying to 26 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: bring an end to the Middle East conflict, and the 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: President says he was not given advanced notice of the attack. 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 5: I was very unhappy about it, very unhappy about every aspect, 29 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 5: and we got to get the hostages. 30 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 6: Back, but I was very unhappy about the way that 31 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 6: went down. 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: Now, so you were caught by surprise. 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 5: I'm never surprised by anything, especially when it comes to 34 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 5: the Middle East. 35 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: President Trump added that he spoke with both Israel Prime 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: Minister Benjamin att and Yahoo and Katari leaders after the 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: strike and assured Cutter that such an attack would not 38 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: happen again. HAMA said five of its members were killed 39 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: in the attack, though its May negotiating delegation survived. 40 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 3: And Karen Katar is condemning this strike, calling it a 41 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: flagrant violation of international law. It says it will not 42 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: tolerate this reckless Israeli behavior and it's continued tampering with 43 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 3: regional security.

Walkinshaw will fill the seat 105 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: vacated in May by the death of Representative Jerry Connolly, 106 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: and Walkinshaw's win will narrow the Republican majority in the House, 107 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: where Speaker Mike Johnson will now only be able to 108 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: afford two defections from his party to still pass legislation. 109 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: Back to Wall Street now, Karen Traders are going to 110 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: get more ECON data today.

The consensus 116 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 5: monthly change is just a third the size of July's 117 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 5: increase on an annual basis. Headline wholesale inflation is forecast unchanged, 118 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 5: while the core rate actually drops, a surprise, of course, 119 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 5: would increase market angst, although tomorrow's consumer price index will 120 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 5: have greater impact. What's likely to matter most today is 121 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 5: where we might see tariff induced inflation and how much. 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 5: Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio. 123 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: All right, Michael, thank you, returned to Big Tech Now 124 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: and a look at Oracle, which is surging this morning, 125 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: with shares jumping to a record after the company gave 126 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 2: an aggressive outlook for its cloud business, stunning Wall Street 127 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,119 Speaker 2: and galvanizing hopes that the post chat GPT global AI 128 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: infrastructure buildout is accelera rating Oracle's cloud infrastructure revenue increase 129 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: fifty five percent to three point three billion dollars, with 130 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: the company signing four multi billion dollar contracts with three 131 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: different customers in the quarter, and it's expecting to sign 132 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: up several additional customers in the coming months.

The legal fight between President 212 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has taken 213 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: a key turn ahead of the fed's next rate decision 214 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: one week from today. The federal judge is allowing Cook 215 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: to stay in her job while she continues to challenge 216 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 3: the president's effort to oust her for alleged mortgage fraud. 217 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: Joining us for the latest is Bloomberg Markets reporter Valerie 218 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 3: Titel soval this case clearly isn't over, but I guess 219 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 3: this is a bit of a reprieve for Governor Cook. 220 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 3: Good morning, Good. 221 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 4: Morning, Nathan. Well, I thought it was really interesting to 222 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 4: look at why the judge decided to take this action, 223 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 4: decided to let Cook remain in the seat while the 224 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 4: court considers the case, and to her opinion on the case, 225 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 4: she says that only Cook's conduct on the job could 226 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 4: be grounds for removal, and given that this alleged Morgan 227 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 4: fraud actually happened a few months up to a year 228 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 4: before she became a sitting governor, the judge is essentially 229 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 4: saying that it's unlikely that Trump has cause to dismiss her. Now, remember, Nathan, 230 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 4: this is the first time that a sitting US president 231 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 4: has tried to remove a Federal Reserve Board governor. The 232 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 4: law in the Federal Reserve Act does give the president 233 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 4: power to fire FED officials for cause, but the law 234 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: does not specify what exactly that means, leaves it very vague. 235 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 4: But this ruling, eventually, when we do get it, could 236 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 4: have lasting effects on clarifying what is justified as cause 237 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 4: in this scenario. Now, this case is likely to trigger 238 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 4: a high stakes appeals battle. It's likely to quickly land 239 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 4: at the Supreme Court, but questions still. You can essentially 240 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 4: debate both sides on how the Supreme Court will handle this. 241 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: On one side, they have upheld some of Trump's decisions 242 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 4: to dismiss other agency heads. But the Supreme Court has 243 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 4: had some precedents in the past where it has called 244 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 4: the FED a unique institution that has a special arrangement 245 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 4: sanctioned by history. So it kind of is giving us 246 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 4: early hints that they might treat the FED differently from 247 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 4: other independent agencies. 248 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: So, as this case goes forward, then Valerie, is there 249 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 3: a risk that governor could still be removed from her 250 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 3: post before the next decision next week? Since this is 251 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 3: ostensibly going to appeal, we have about a minute left. 252 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 4: Well, look, it's going to appeal. I mean it's likely 253 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 4: that she will be a voter next week. We never 254 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 4: know how quickly these cases can be dealt with the courts, 255 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 4: but she is likely to be a voter come next 256 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 4: week's decision. The case is just we'll probably make its 257 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 4: way up to the Supreme Court's lap. But the Supreme 258 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 4: Court has already fast tracked the Trump's case against his tariff, 259 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 4: so it's likely they might do the same with this case, 260 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 4: given that they want a weigh the merits of these 261 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 4: two cases that are highly highly political and have a 262 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 4: huge effect on the market. 263 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg day Break, your morning podcast on the 264 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 2: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 265 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 266 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 267 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 268 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 269 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 270 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 271 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 272 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 273 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 3: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces, and. 274 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: Don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
