Tony Halpin, who leads Bloomberg's team covering Russia, joins Stephen Carroll to discuss.See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

24 JUL 2026 · Kevin Warsh wants to be a quieter kind of Federal Reserve Chair. His first statement leading the rate-setting committee was half the length of the previous one from his Jerome Powell.
