The Trump Bombshells Keep Dropping With Glenn Kirschner
"Let me just talk to you about this latest reporting this morning. National security experts are also shocked that signals intelligence was recovered, so it's not even just the nuclear stuff, former senior intelligence officials said during the Trump administration highly classified intelligence about sensitive topics, including about intelligence gathering in Iran, was routinely mishandled one former official said the most highly classified information often ended up in the hands of personnel who didn't appear to have the need to possess it weren't authorized to read it. Former official also said signals intelligence intercepted electronic communications like emails and phone calls of foreign leaders was among the type of information that often ended up with unauthorized personnel, such intercepts were among the most closely guarded secrets because of what they can reveal about how the U.S. has penetrated foreign governments. One person with familiar with the inventory of the 15 boxes taken from Mar-a-Lago indicated signals intelligence material was in them. I mean, Michael Hayden just tweeted Jesus Christ. That's what intelligence professionals are saying. They said Bill crystal said people ask why would Trump keep documents plenty of possible reasons EG this is pure speculation. Signals Intel on MBS and Jamal Khashoggi or on Saudi nukes are the kind of docs you'd want in case you had to remind the Saudis to keep the money coming, one historian said if it was you or I and not Trump or were in possession of top secret documents about nuclear weapons or signals Intel will you and I would be handcuffs in a very bright room with glam rock playing in our ears yet he plays the victim. Again, every time you think we're at the end of a bombshell, right? And I didn't even know what signals intelligence was until this morning, but that's another layer, right? It is. And you know what this proves Steph, it proves the folly of having a policy that says you can't indict a sitting criminal president because people knew he was misusing mishandling classified documents all day every day. That closes the danger to our national security and by all accounts we did nothing about it. Why? Because a sitting president gets to commit as many crimes as he wants while in the Oval Office with impunity. That's insanity. That's banana republic approach to government. And this highlights the danger of that, which is now come home to roost. I hope we learn this lesson based on this episode.

"Rockville, 77 in Ashburn, 74 in district heights and 75 here outside the WTO studios at 1141. The White House is calling President Biden's trip to the Middle East, a success. CBS News correspondent Skyler Henry at The White House. Critics say the president went against his campaign pledge to make the kingdom a quote global pariah after U.S. intelligence officials concluded MBS signed off on the operation to kill Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

"Side questions about his fist bump with the Saudi crown prince when Biden arrived back at The White House Sunday morning a reporter asked if he regretted his fist bump with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, the president shot back at the reporter with why don't you guys talk about something that matters. I'm happy to answer a question that matters. U.S. intelligence officials linked The Crown prince to the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Biden administration is not saying mission accomplished over falling gas prices. He has dispatched his team to do everything we can to ease price pressures. That's according to White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein, appearing on CNN State of the Union Bernstein acknowledged that while gas prices are down about 50 cents per gallon, they are still unacceptably high. Opening statements will get underway tomorrow in the penalty phase for the Parkland Florida school shooter, Nicholas Cruz, Cruz admitted to killing 17 people back in 2018 at marjory Stoneman Douglas high school, the jury will ultimately decide whether Cruz will spend the rest of his life in prison or receive a death sentence. That's the latest on Deena kodiak. And I'm Susanna Palmer in the Bloomberg newsroom. Quarterly earnings pick up with big names in finance, pharmaceuticals and technology reporting in the week ahead. Anastasia amarosa is chief investment officer at I capital. She's underwhelmed so far with earning season. I think the early results really suggest that the earnings season is nothing to write home about. You know, if you look at the surprise that's coming out right now, it's maybe one or 2%, which is well below what we've seen in the last number of quarters and well below the three or four or 5% average. So I think the expectation is probably reset somewhat. They may still need to reset lower. Among those reporting this week, American Express, AT&T, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Netflix, and Tesla. Home buyers are bagging out of sales at the highest rate since the start of the pandemic, a slowing housing market is giving buyers more influence, says Redfin economist at Daryl fair-weather. Buyers were able to have language in contracts to allow them to back out. And interest rates aren't helping any nationwide, 60,000 home purchase agreements fell through in June and mortgage rates shot up. They were around 3% at the end of last year, and now they are at 5.3%, and that makes home buying more expensive. Speaking of renegotiating state street corp is seeking to renegotiate its previously announced three and a half $1 billion takeover of Brown brothers investor services division. More from Bloomberg's Charlie poet. It could potentially upend the deal announced last year the custody bank is pursuing what it calls amendments to the transaction terms, including the purchase price this according to a statement when state street reported second quarter results. If the company do not reach an agreement by September 6th, either one can walk away without penalty.

This is Bloomberg. You're listening to masters in business with Barry riddles on Bloomberg radio. I'm Barry results, you're listening to masters in business on Bloomberg radio, my extra special guest this week is auntie Oman. He is the co head of portfolio solutions at AQR. He is also the author of a new book, investing amid low expected returns, so let's talk a little bit about low expected returns. We already talked about the impact on fed rates, what else goes into driving valuation factors that can lower future expected returns. So it really depends on what horizon we talk about. So monetary policy macro conditions are very important for short term. But I think I'd like to focus on focusing the book mainly on long-term expected actors. And then these are being three 5 to ten years, something like that. And yeah, it's interesting. If you go even further than valuations even don't matter, so everything is gets diluted. And then you have to think about what some theoretical longer return. But for ten years ahead, then starting its evaluations are essential and again, so I think those are very helpful anchor for thinking about those returns, even though you can get this very ugly forecast that are like what happened in the last decade. But when such a thing happens, then it pretty much stores problem for the future. So last decade, as it's rich and adjustment at all, you are going to have even more problems in those future returns. And I think the only way you can solve the low expected return problem here is at least for risky assets is that there would be this much faster growth. This techno optimism that you would get in some quarters, and there I could be, but we've had we've had wonderful technology advances last hundred years. And 2% real growth is pretty much as good as it gets. And that's the interesting thing because you talk in the book about very often mom and pop investors, individual investors tend to confuse GDP growth with expected returns, academically, we know there's almost no correlation between the two, is that. It's surprising that whether you look at over time in one country or you look at across countries, the relation is very modest and my favorite poster boy on that one is China, which had this 30 years of very fast growth. And for equity investors, it was a really sorry story. Yeah, no, it was a lost opportunity. If you piled into China in 1990, you missed a lot of opportunity elsewhere in the world. It's quite amazing. And there are some stories why that's why that's the case, like basically one logic is a GDP growth doesn't capture how the pie is shared between corporates and so on and that's a different sector composition. That's public versus unlisted sectors. All kinds of questions like this that can then mechanically explain why this happens, but it is a weird result. And it's understandable. And I think it commonly motivates people to look for those fast growing countries and taking it for granted that that's a good investment. So when we're thinking about various asset classes, how does cash work into that allocation strategy is that a legitimate asset class or is it just a drag on future returns, except for years like 2022? Well, even in 2022, again, in relative sense cash is of course doing fine, but real returning cash is whatever -5% it's supposed to be better than even more price. Various results. And so I think one interesting thing is that you need to have some market timing ability, I think, to make cash useful and use it almost as an option. And then it matters whether you have got some interesting yield levels, 20 years ago, you had that three, 4% real return cash, not around in this situation. So I do think that the main story with cash sees, like you said, there's something about the dragon it dilutes, it's not a great diversifier in dilutes the performance. It would be good if you have got some great market timing skills, but let's be humble about it. Often I even say that cash may be best used as a basically on the other side. You want to use it for leverage for some long shot strategies. And so that may be helpful answer what you do with that. In the book, I like the way you describe certain investor types based on their future liabilities. So pensions and endowments define benefit plans, you point out that they're particularly sensitive to low expected returns. Tell us what makes them so susceptible. Is it the future liabilities they have? Why is merely the concept of lower expected returns so problematic for them? Yeah, well, I think it is for any investor, but if you have made some commitments for the future, then it is maybe more legally binding and that makes it tougher than for somebody who can who can basically adjust expectations or try to just leave through these things without without sort of recognizing the low expected return until somewhere far into the future. So let's talk about foreign to the future. How long should we expect lower returns for? Is this a question of quarters or years and decades? I do think that we are now in this fast pain situation where we will probably get more we will surely get more monetary policy tightening and I suspect that the latest latest market positivity is maybe way too optimistic. I think you will need

Milkshake Lover (MM #4036)

She's spoke in the uk as she spoke As she went to washington heartbreaking to see a murder so cut and dry seed something of this horrific nature and realize that money and power allows you to get away with with crimes such as this in in the world that we're living in one thing. I want to say about the film that i i really want to emphasize to the audience to our listeners. Is that you get a sense of this guy of kashogi and you get a sense of a terrific guy and a guy with a lovely man and a guy with a brigham and and a guy with a sense of humor and a guy who the most admirable kind of guy but someone who clearly was like a good friend and clearly a guy that people really knew them really liked a real stand-up guy. I mean of course your stand up guy to leave your country to be a dissident. But i mean footage you have of him where you see him just talking with with folks with friends with he just seemed like a lovely lovely man. I didn't get to meet jamal. And one of the main Determining factors whether or not. I was gonna go spend the next two. Plus years of my life you know dedicated to making this film and subsequent to promotion cetera was did. I feel that i would have liked. Jamal had everywhere. I came across. The answer was yes and they say that that a man is known by the frenzy keeps and certainly each person that i met along this journey. New jamal that had worked with all that was friends. Which mall nominally. Did they have a love for him. I liked then and so went bad. I hang His his circle of friends is all people that i would find myself wanting to be friends with or find myself wanting to have an interesting conversation with or who were intellectually evolve to were outside of the norm of what you might think of of for someone in that region or philosophically etc and insert louis Nali i find that over and over again It was it was across the board. And then as i read jamal's writings I said to myself is this. Is someone I would've either. I would liked. I could see myself being friends with someone. You really be honored to be friends with because the integrity His courage his courage. I mean the sacrifice he made and also the commitment to his principles and democracy and to to his country.

I've i've ever seen as filmmaker somebody you know a yawns documentarian to see this complete disrespect in this situation but also to understand that the united nations at that level in their human rights committee basically has no power to do anything there. Their role is basically to observe and report and after agnes calamar findings. That's a very very thorough investigation. The secretary general security council and all that of un. That could of done something all declined to take any action. Because it wasn't in the best interests of the g twenty. You know so understanding that. The united nations even that scene that you see in the film where you though. The scathing report is delivered and the saudis stand. Up and walk out of the room is speaking was largely ceremonial. there wasn't really any action. that was going to be taken or could be taken in the un general assembly.

But that is just a humanitarian travesty and disaster and that again is a very much about the iran. Saudi that rivalry we say in the in the region. It's i made. This is a very very complicated geopolitical question. But it's kind of heartbreaking. I think biden has been effective at least right now. There are what i'm hearing is incre tailing the war yemen meal. He he did veto blast five million dollars with weapon sales that trump tried to pass through on his way out. You know i guess. The talks in washington is that there is no more support for the warn yemen. And i think probably part of his negotiating tactics of not issuing sanctions are going after the crown prince on the murder of two shoghi was probably who knows but probably some sort of Back door agreement. You know regarding the war in yemen when you talk about the political nature of this if you've followed any of the kind of human rights abuse stories in saudi arabia About four years ago they arrested a female activists her name. Her name is louisiana hut tool Jane at the time was twenty. Eight years old. Came from a pretty Well thought of upper-class saudi Family and started to write and take to the streets for women's rights in the country that women have a right to vote that women Should not be under the guardian system Which in saudi arabia. No woman can leave the home Alone by herself without the permission of an eighteen year old male guardian in the home so literally wants your son becomes eighteen years old. He has the permission to decide whether his mother can leave the house. I i don't know the details but apparently there's like an app on the phone and there's like a letter and that woman if she stopped needs to basically show that she has been granted permission By a male over the age of eighteen in her house To be out in a way that is so taliban.

"The saudis learned during the arab spring is that the spring happened because twitter millions and millions tens of millions of people around that region. Were able to take on twitter create false accounts and find ways to revolt and organize and so they started to understand the power of that of that platform and in a country like saudi arabia. Where you have an authoritarian state Where people are not able to communicate freely eight out of ten people in. Saudi arabia are using twitter because twitter became essentially the parliament of the country. Because you can go on there in create accounts center different names and share ideas thoughts anonymously and jamal's twitter and he's got two million followers at the time as being suppressed every single timing. Todd tweet all of a sudden you have thousands of comments on his twitter feed he. He's a traitor that he should you know. He's the scum of the earth that his country hates him. Am learns Is that these tweets against them at comments are not real that it's actually the saudi government that is hired thousands of people to sit in two rooms to create false tweets narratives on twitter the basically makes mohammed bin salman rise to the top and look like he's perfect while suppressing any other opinion against him on twitter. And so jamal anoma. Abdelaziz start working on a plan called the bee's army to combat saudi flies on twitter. And they hack omar's phone using israeli cybersecurity software of the saudis to they Jamal's phoned using the same israeli cybersecurity pegasus software and It's arguably this reason. And what he was writing in the washington post the understanding that he was helping to fund an operation to reclaim freedom speech in saudi arabia on twitter and social media on top of his writings in western newspaper. That were not supportive of mohammed bin salman and trump. i think these two key factors lead to to his merck. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back with brian.

Who was advocating for human rights in his country freedom of press freedoms beach supportive of crown of royal family of the kingdom but also coming from a western perspective guy who had been spending his life back and forth to the west believing that there could be a better way that you didn't need to have a authoritarian autocratic dictatorship where you're repressing every freedom to rule a country Well and so. As crown prince mohammad bin salman rises to power on one hand. He's making reforms that to the western world. Look like as positive. Granting women the right to drive for example on the other hand he's basically making that anybody and i mean anybody who has an opinion against him or doesn't share a positive opinion about him. is being arrested thrown in jail put on mock trials Tortured beheaded and when i say not in support of him basically went around and anybody who was famous or well known in saudi arabia. If they didn't take to their social media platforms for their outlets supporting mohammed bin salman. They would find themselves. You know interrogated interested said. Hey here's what you need to do. So silence was not enough. You had to yet to be verbally writing. Whatever communicating your support for the crown pratt's kashogi decides that he's not going to do this He goes washington and what he's basically writing about if you go back into his washington post columns and read. What he was writing about. That year is that he believed that the us saudi relationship especially with donald trump was not a healthy relationship so he's critical of donald trump he believe that mohammed bin salman was essentially milking the country for its resources In that there needed to be a larger trickle down wealth he believes women should have rights in the country And he believed that people should be able to to express their opinion without the fear of being locked up and thrown in jail. The these are all things i think. All of us in the united states in the west take for granted. The idea that we can you know whatever say for years. I don't like joe biden and that doesn't mean you're going to be arrested thrown into jail without charges and so this was would Jamal was writing about and at the same time. Jamal comes to understand the power of social media of twitter e end. I i think we think of twitter as the platform to go on sharon idea or show a rand or disseminate false information.

Saw the pieces horrific horrific riddick now. of course. he doesn't leave the building except they actually put plastic down and packages abide. We'll talk about how they dispose of the body but they lie right away of course saying that he left and eventually they say oh. He died in a fight or something and eventually bay. Okay he was murdered in but the the crown prince didn't order this and they have a trial. And i guess it's a show trial and some of them are convicted. I saying that yeah. I mean they you know the the the long belong in short of it is. They is deny over the next two weeks that anything had happened to jamal. And essentially what what. The world comes to learn during this time because of turkey's investigation Because of the audio all the closed captioned security surveillance footage that they were able to put together all over his danville. Turkey was able to to paint a an open closed case. They had the surveillance footage of his mentoring through your airport security. A lot of it. A at a private private airport. They had all the audio of his murder from the medium room and they essentially went back to saudi arabia. And said hey guys you're gonna confess confess for you in saudi arabia's head. Yeah whatever you don't have anything and a saudi delegation came to establish and they played them the audio. They showed him the surveillance footage and they said okay. You're gonna confess and saudi arabia. Finally confessed all be. The story was never to this day that it was a intentional operation that they planned to kill him. The story is still that they had hoped That he was gonna come back and when he refused to come back. One guy made a decision and he shouldn't have made that decision and They weren't planning jhelum but they killed them in dismembered him and carry out. There is on the audio someone saying the sacrificial animal has arrived. that's correct. I mean we know there was intention to kill him but they say there wasn't before he arrived. I think what what saudi arabia's game has been you know. Which is you get this the same thing out of putin or rainy one of these places. I mean not really that shocking or surprising. I mean. I think i think there has been you know to just go. Oh it was. It was an accident. Yeah that's why you have the bone saw ready and glancing backs now because you might accidents killing dismember someone. yeah at. That's suspicious a little bit. But you know. I guess you can make the argument that the bone saw was there just in case well just in case. Dan doesn't are fictional. Animal come in now. Let's talk about what he was writing about. While he was writing for the post he was critical of the regime. Obviously that's why they killed him was critical about the war in yemen. Yes i mean when you go back in.

Will you know jamal enters into the consulate. This is october second twenty eighteen. This was his actually his third trip. Total to conflict to try to get these marriage papers.

So because istanbul to see tj he walks into the consulate. There had already been expecting him and again it tell him. Hey no no problem of. Can you come back in a week. We need time to get the paperwork so again. Jamal leaves the the conflict believing that. Nothing's wrong in comes back october. Second of twenty eighteen to pick up the paper and on that day there was essentially a fifteen man. Chill team waiting for him Inside that concert they bring him up to media room and the console which was upstairs next to the director. General's office in if you know the layout of the consulate this is common odd choice Because if you're going to get documentation or whatever that would still be on the first floor And this media room which looks like a conference from was the only room in the consulate where they could make a secure encrypted phone call or video call to riyadh back back to the kingdom so they bring them up to this media room in within about two minutes of him entering that consulate. Maybe three minutes at most. He is Being murdered and just a horrific incredibly awful brutal murder they're literally Injecting him with embalming agents has strangling him.

The saudi consulate in istanbul was shocking but there is much more to the story that you've never heard and one big question still outstanding. That has not been any justice. I'm wondering why they consume out. The more one digs into his murder. The more it becomes clear. This was the result of a real life conspiracy. There are new details from inside. Saudi arabia never reported before. But how exactly kashogi was killed pointing to accomplices still in the shadows and it was directly from the top by saudi arabia's ruthless and all powerful crown prince mohammed bin salman otherwise known as m b. S are you saying that. Nbs is you're saying he's the us's sob and all this against the backdrop of conspiracy of silence at the highest levels in washington while the saudis gobbled up american weapons by the boatload six billion dollars.

If somebody sits across from me then tells you that dramatic told them everything. There are one hundred percent light.

No justice in sight as Jamal Khashoggi's murder trial resumes
"In turkey today the trial is resuming of twenty. Six people accused of involvement in the murder of jamalco shoji in london. One of mr khashoggi's friends. He's been in touch with his fiance. Says they're trying to stay positive in spite of the grim. It's more than two years. Since the veteran saudi journalist was suffocated in his country's consulate in istanbul his body sawn into pieces by a squad of assassins flown in on private jets after four nine denials. Saudi arabia has admitted that the missing journalists jamila shoji died during his visits to the country's constitution is the trial will be of little consequence. None of the suspects is in turkish custody and it poses little threat to mohammed bin salman saudi arabia's crown prince and facto ruler who many believe to be ultimately responsible. America's reaction to the grisly murder is a window into how the country thinks about dealing with its historical and the power dynamics in a region riven by religious divides and proxy wars. The trump administration held back a report on metric a shoji's murder a report that the biden administration published last week concluding the crown prince approved the operation despite imposing sanctions on some saudis. Mr biden didn't impose any on prince mohammed. America's president now out how to navigate the country's relationship with saudi arabia and with the region as a whole

Why Has the US Sanctioned Russian Officials but Not the Saudis?
"The. Us treasury department sanctioning russian officials in response to the poisoning the attempted assassination of a russian political leader and dissident alexi navalny ni With novacek. Do you think this is a good idea. I do i do i. It was just unacceptable for the united states to be silent in the wake of russia's most important opposition leader being intentionally poisoned now in prison by putin's government. I mean if we don't lead the global fight to protect democracy and stand up for pro democratic movements in places like russia no one will and what we see is that the forces of despotism are on the march democrat democracies that we took for granted just ten years ago are now slowly sliding away from self determination even in and on the edges of europe and so by standing up to one of the world's most brutal bullies vladimir putin We are also. I think sending a signal to nascent democracy movements and fragile democracies that america is back on the democracy promotion stage so speaking of that. There's a there. Of course. Also the release of the previously classified report about the intelligence communities findings about bin hamad bin salman that he had greenlighted at the very least the operation to capture or kill but those are the words. They're a jamal khashoggi. Newspaper columnist the washington post. The biden administration not doing anything personally. Mohammed bin salman not revoking visa. Travel rights were personal sanctions. Saying the emas recalibration not a rupture. We've been very clear with a saudi. This is an historic partnership. It's lasted for seventy five years. What do you think of that. I mean i think you can sort of connect these two conversations. There's no question that vladimir putin ordered the poisoning of alexei navalny but we didn't announce sanctions on putin today largely because We tend to not levy sanctions on the leaders of countries And i think that is probably part of the rationale for why m b. s. was spared sanctions but i would make this argument on saudi arabia. I frankly think that Nbs weapons matter much more to him than his visa. And so what i would argue is that we should recalibrate. Our security partnership with the saudis. I if they're going to be in the business of chopping up dissidents or targeting them all around the world and we shouldn't be selling them weapons and so. I think the administration is right now. Having debate about what our security partnership looks like and if we make changes to that well. It looked like a personal sanction on. Mvs you'll have a big impact on him and his priorities.
