News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow. President Trump gave a forceful defense of his administration and his economic policies in a record-setting State of the Union address.
Unknown 0:42
It is indeed a turnaround for the ages.
Karen Moscow 0:46
In a speech that lasted an hour and 47 minutes, the president declared inflation is plummeting, incomes are rising, the economy is roaring, and America's enemies are scared.
Unknown 0:56
One of the primary reasons for our country's stunning economic turnaround, the biggest in history where the Dow Jones broke 50,000 four years ahead of schedule and the S&P hit 7,000 where it wasn't supposed to do it for many years. We're tariffs.
Karen Moscow 1:15
And despite what he called the Supreme Court's very disappointing ruling against his tariffs, President Trump said he'll keep pursuing them through other authorities. President Trump sprinkled a few policy proposals in his speech, like a retirement savings match for workers without 401ks and a ban on commercial driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants. He also sprinkled the speech with attacks on Democrats.
Unknown 1:38
We're lucky we have a country. With people like this, Democrats are destroying our country, but we've stopped it just in the nick of time, didn't we?
Karen Moscow 1:47
Those attacks came after President Trump began the speech celebrating the gold medal winning U.S. men's hockey team. He also highlighted military veterans throughout the address, including a World War II vet who will turn 100 this year. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger delivered the Democratic rebuttal to the president's State of the Union address.
Abigail Spanberger 2:06
In his speech tonight, the president did what he always does. He lied, he scapegoated, and he distracted. And he offered no real solutions to our nation's pressing challenges. so many of which he is actively making worse.
Karen Moscow 2:22
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger says costs remain too high for many Americans. Iran has pushed back against President Trump's pressure tactics ahead of critical talks in Geneva over Tehran's nuclear program. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman dismissed Trump's remarks at the State of the Union as big lies. President Trump claimed that Iran is working to reconstitute its nuclear program even as it negotiates with Washington, adding to speculation that he's preparing for a fresh round of military strikes in the coming days. Meanwhile, Iran's parliament speaker said the U.S. could either engage in diplomacy or face the wrath of Iran if it attacks. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky says the Ukrainian delegation is set to meet Thursday with American envoys in the run-up to another round of trilateral talks with Russia.

The meeting will also take place in Geneva. We now turn to the markets where futures are higher after yesterday's gains on Wall Street. Next up, we get earnings from Nvidia.

It all comes down after the closing bell and traders are expecting the chipmaker to trounce expectations. Beth Kindig is lead tech analyst at the IO Fund.

There is not a low bar for NVIDIA. I think the bar is always very high. And what I'm saying is that because the way these GPU generations ship, we're in volume production on Blackwell Ultra. That bar will likely be cleared this quarter.
Charlie Pellett 3:46
Bloomberg Intelligence says NVIDIA is positioned to modestly exceed fiscal fourth quarter estimates as GB200 shipments expand and hyperscaler spending remains elevated. In New York, Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio.
