Ed and Scott open the show by discussing why European defense stocks surged following Trump's meeting with Zelensky, the announcement of a U.S. crypto reserve, and the latest tariffs targeting Canada and Mexico. Then Jonathan Kanter, former Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, joins the show to break down what antitrust enforcement could look like under the Trump administration. He explains why healthcare should be a top priority for regulators, pulls back the curtain on how lobbyists try to influence antitrust cases, and gives an update on the ongoing Google antitrust lawsuit. Finally, Jonathan weighs in on the growing monopoly concerns in AI and highlights which industries are most in need of tougher antitrust scrutiny.
