About this episode
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter died on Sunday at age 100. Roger Altman served as assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury under President Carter, and he reflects on former President Carter’s legacy in and after the White House. Next, The Wall Street Journal’s Tim Higgins discusses the rift between members of President-elect Trump’s inner circle and Elon Musk over immigration and H-1B visas. He explains about where Trump stands in the Musk-MAGA divide and examines Musk’s influence in political debates. Plus, Trump asked the Supreme Court to pause a law that could ban TikTok, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the Treasury will need to take “extraordinary measures” to avoid the debt ceiling. While the world mourns Jimmy Carter, the business community also mourns HBO and Cablevision founder Charles Dolan.
