Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels, where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made.
And I'm Caroline Hepke in London. We're the hosts of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast.
We're up early every weekday, keeping an eye on what's happening across Europe and around the world.
We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled, and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going.
From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now.
And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy.
We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break.
So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets, you're hearing it while it happens.
It's smart, calm and to the point.

It had bipartisan support in the past, but now some lawmakers are concerned about passing an extension while Bill Pulte is acting director of national intelligence. Now, President Trump has called for Congress to pass a short-term extension of FISA.
Here is House Speaker Mike Johnson.
He is in that process, and he sent that out as a good-faith gesture to the Democrats because we know that FISA would expire on Friday. We cannot allow that to happen. It should not be a partisan matter.
He made it very clear that Mr. Pulte is, in his own words, a very short-term sort of a renovation role that he will play to help the ODNI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, to be reformed and downsized.
That is House Speaker Mike Johnson. Federal prosecutors are looking into whether some of Wall Street's biggest banks illegally dropped customers for political reasons. We're told the investigation is being handled by the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro.

Last year, President Trump said he was cut off from bank accounts and denied new ones from JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America after his first administration ended in violent riots at the Capitol. And that is news when you want it. With Bloomberg News Now, I'm Doug Krisner and this is Bloomberg.
