About this episode

P.M. Edition for Oct. 7. President Trump expects his Treasury Secretary to solve stubborn problems, including rising borrowing costs, high gas prices, and even the war on Iran. White House economic policy reporter reporter Brian Schwartz tells us how Bessent is taking the pressure out on his staff–and faces skepticism on Wall Street. Plus, the Trump administration is investigating Wells Fargo over its efforts to increase homeownership among Black Americans. And even as Israel loses residents to emigration, an increasing number of Americans are moving in. Pierre Bienaimé hosts.
