Watch Tom and Paul LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyAugust 26th, 2025Featuring:1) Libby Cantrill, Head: Public Policy at PIMCO, joins to talk about Lisa Cook and Fed independence as well as her note on the Trump admin aberration. President Trump moved to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook following allegations that she falsified mortgage documents, citing "sufficient cause" to fire her. Forcing out Cook would give Trump an opportunity to secure a four-person majority on the Fed's seven-member Board of Governors, with her term not set to expire until 2038.2) Cam Harvey, professor at Duke University, joins for an extended discussion on tariffs, rate cuts, and Fed independence. Fed governor Lisa Cook, in challenging President Trump’s removal order, could immediately seek an injunction reinstating her while litigation moves forward. No charges have been filed against her, though a Justice Department official last week signaled possible plans to investigate her.3) Stephanie Roth, Chief Economist at Wolfe Research, talks about labor market health, rate cut uncertainty, and inflation. European stocks and US equity futures fell due to political turmoil in France and President Trump’s bid to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.4) Jordan Rochester, Head: FICC Strategy at Mizuho, joins to talk turmoil in France and dollar moves amid President Trump's attempt to fire Lisa Cook. Stocks and bonds were already under pressure after optimism that followed Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s address at Jackson Hole faded on Monday. Doubts about the pace of easing are lingering ahead of an inflation report later this week, expected to highlight sticky price pressures.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Instant Reaction: Trump Moves to Fire Fed's Lisa Cook
President Donald Trump moved to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her post at the US central bank in the wake of allegations from a White House ally that she falsified documents on mortgage applications. “The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve,” Trump wrote in a letter sent to Cook on Monday, which he posted on Truth Social. “In light of your deceitful and possibly criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity.” Presidents can remove Fed governors from office, but only for cause. Laws that describe “for cause” generally define the term as encompassing three possibilities: inefficiency; neglect of duty; and malfeasance, meaning wrongdoing, in office. For instant reaction, host Doug Krizner speaks with Enda Curran, Bloomberg global economy reporter. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
