Bloomberg Balance of Power: Trump Tours Texas (Podcast)
7/11/2025
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. President Donald Trump in Texas on Friday viewed firsthand the devastation left by extreme flooding that killed at least 120 people and left scores still missing in the state’s Hill Country region, seeking to reassure residents of the federal response to the disaster. The president met with local officials and emergency workers in hard-hit Kerr County, where he received a briefing, accompanied on his visit by first lady Melania Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Trump surveyed the damage in a helicopter flight and then was shown what appeared to be a map of the flood-damaged area. The scale of the destruction was evident — with Trump and the first lady standing in front of an overturned tractor trailer and amid downed trees, a testament to the force of the deadly, ravaging floodwaters which tore through the community. On this edition of Balance of Power, Joe and Kailey speak with: Julie Fine, Bloomberg Texas bureau chief Rep. Gwen Moore, Democrat Representing Wisconsin's 4th District Wendy Edelberg, senior fellow in economic studies at Brookings Institution, former chief economist at the Congressional Budget Office Jason Bailey, Bloomberg Opinion guest columnist, film critic and historian Rick Davis, Partner at Stonecourt Capital and Bloomberg Politics Contributor & & Jeanne Sheehan Zaino, Senior Democracy Fellow with the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress and Bloomberg Politics Contributor

Bloomberg Balance of Power: Trump Sets Copper Tariff (Podcast)
7/8/2025
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. President Donald Trump vowed to push forward with his aggressive tariff regime in the coming days, stressing he would not offer additional extensions on country-specific levies set to now hit in early August while indicating he could announce substantial new rates on imports of copper and pharmaceuticals. The posturing on social media and at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday came after traders initially shrugged off a series of letters and executive actions Trump issued Monday, pushing back the deadline for his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs while announcing the latest rates he planned for more than a dozen countries that had not succeeded in brokering quick trade agreements. That changed Tuesday as Trump signaled a renewed determination to push ahead with his plans to heavily tax foreign imports. On this edition of Balance of Power, Joe and Kailey speak with: Tyler Kendall, Bloomberg Washington correspondent Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX), Chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee/US Representative from Texas's 36th Congressional District (2015-Present)/Republican/Dentist/Former-US Air Force Rick Davis, Partner at Stonecourt Capital and Bloomberg Politics Contributor & Jeanne Sheehan Zaino, Senior Democracy Fellow with the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress and Bloomberg Politics Contributor Mick Mulvaney, former Acting White House Chief of Staff, former OMB Director, former Republican Congressman from South Carolina
Bloomberg Balance of Power: Trump Sets New Tariffs (Podcast)

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. President Donald Trump unveiled the first in a wave of promised letters that threaten to impose higher tariffs rates on key trading partners, including levies of 25% on goods from Japan and South Korea beginning Aug. 1. Trump also announced 25% rates on Malaysia and Kazakhstan, while South Africa would see a 30% tariff and Laos and Myanmar would face a 40% levy. The nations were the first in what the president promised would be a flurry of unilateral warnings and trade deals announced on Monday, two days before agreements are due from trading partners facing his April 2 so-called reciprocal levies. “Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal,” Trump wrote in the letters. On this edition of Balance of Power, Joe and Kailey speak with: Tyler Kendall, Bloomberg Washington correspondent Sarah Bianchi, senior managing director and chief strategist of international political affairs and public policy at Evercore ISI/Former-Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Julie Fine, Bloomberg Dallas bureau chief Rick Davis, Partner at Stonecourt Capital and Bloomberg Politics Contributor & Jeanne Sheehan Zaino, Senior Democracy Fellow with the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress and Bloomberg Politics Contributor Natasha Hall, Non-Resident Senior Associate, Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department at the Center for Strategic & International Studies
