Trump SEC, Tariffs, FTC Firings, FCC Subsidy

Updates on hearings to confirm Paul Atkins as SEC chair and what it means for companies like Coinbase, Robinhood, CBOE, Nasdaq and Virtu are among key catalysts that BI litigation and policy analysts are watching this week. The team also discussed the legality of auto tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on March 26 and reciprocal tariffs expected on April 2. The firing of FTC commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter is unlikely to materially affect the outcome of cases against Meta, Amazon.com, UnitedHealth, Cigna, CVS and other companies, but lawsuits challenging their termination could provide insights into Trump’s ability to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell. A US Supreme Court March 26 hearing signaled the high court will probably reject a constitutional challenge to the FCC’s $8 billion universal-service subsidy program, from which AT&T, Charter and Verizon have received funds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dinner Table Politics Bonneville International The Bennett family has been at the heart of Utah politics for over half a century. So what happens when they talk about the issues of the day around the dinner table? Join Jim, the dad, and Abby, the daughter for a free- wheeling political discussion with an intergenerational perspective. College student Abby is a political independent, while her father Jim is a former Republican who became the first candidate of the new United Utah Party in 2017, running for Congress and garnering over 14,000 votes. Jim's father, Bob Bennett, served as a GOP senator from Utah for eighteen years after being unceremoniously ousted by the Tea Party. Bob was well-respected and, toward the end of his life, co-created the Utah Debate Commission, facilitating public discourse between leading candidates. Jim was the first non-Republican/non-Democrat to participate in a UDC debate. Abby may well be the next.
