What is the opening premise of the Bloomberg News podcast and who are the hosts?
Have you ever wondered how Jesse Cole took the Savannah Bananas from this?
We had a $6 million failure last year. We're going to have bigger ones as we go. To this? We've got shareholders, investors I've reached out to regularly, and the answer is always no. Or why Elle Duncan would say this about a Netflix sports broadcast.
Sometimes we're going to take really big swings and we're going to freaking whiff.
Then the deal is the show for you. It's a Bloomberg podcast hosted by me, Alex Rodriguez. And me, Jason Kelly.
We talk to the biggest names in the world of sports and business, including NBA Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady on one of his biggest blunders. I think I've created something magical.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I struck out. And you'll even get some of my baseball hot takes. I've had owners tell me, It doesn't matter. The game has to be fixed. It's broken. If we have to lock out the whole year, we will.
New episodes air every Thursday. Don't miss out.
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Dan Schwartzman. President Trump is once again considering removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over unproven allegations of mortgage fraud, according to a letter. The letter gives Cook until August 26 to respond to the allegations, which her lawyer Abe Lowell says are, quote, baseless and have not been tested in a court of law. The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision back in June allowed Cook to remain in her job while she fought Trump's bid to oust her over the mortgage fraud accusations, faulting the president for not giving her notice and a chance to be heard before trying to remove her. President Trump said he'd like rates to come down before the November midterms, but in an interview with Punchbowl News, he acknowledged Fed Chair Kevin Walsh can't do it on his own without the Fed board.
This week, Bloomberg News reported the president has spoken to Walsh several times, since he took over as Fed chair. White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett says that shouldn't come as a surprise.
Kevin Warsh, the president, have a very close long-term relationship from New York City, from Florida. And they talk about the economy all the time. And I talk to Kevin as well as to Scott Besson. And so that's like not really news.
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says he's sure the president doesn't give worse interest rate advice. Hassett was a guest on Bloomberg Radio and Television. OpenAI is halting some internal work around its upcoming Astra model to build in stricter safeguards after the system was found to be significantly more adept at cybersecurity tasks. The company said it, quote, cannot rule out that Astra could become capable of identifying and developing zero-day exploits without human intervention, which would reach a company's, quote, critical cybersecurity threshold. OpenAI said it's now taking steps to improve security controls for developing and testing newer models. The chat GPT creator says it will work with government agencies and AI safety organizations to test Astra's capabilities.
Wage growth continues to lag behind inflation, and the Federal Reserve Board members are divided on when to step in as inflation persists. Jared Bernstein, a former White House economic advisor, commented on Bloomberg's balance of power.
3.2 percent, that's the year-over-year wage growth. That's the lowest we've seen since the pandemic. And so the folks at the Fed recognize that whatever inflation we're seeing isn't coming from the labor market. That means that it's largely coming from the supply side of the equation, the tariffs, the war. along with some pressure from AI picks and shovels.
That's former White House economic advisor Jared Bernstein on Bloomberg's balance of power. SpaceX shares jumped for a second straight day, ahead nearly 16%, bringing them close to breaking back above the company's $135 IPO price.

Nearly 80% of analysts covering SpaceX have given the stock a buy rating.
