    We’re sharing another episode in our WITHpod 2024: The Stakes series, in which we choose specific areas of policy and talk to an expert about Trump and Biden’s records on the topic.

Timothy Wu is the Julius Silver professor of law, science and technology at Columbia University. He’s known as the "architect" of the Biden administration's competition and antitrust policies. Wu joins WITHpod to discuss Trump and Biden’s different views on corporate power, the current antitrust landscape, major mergers being challenged this year and more.

AWESOME understanding of Filibuster & Congress

Great conversation about the filibuster in Congress from the history of it to how it works currently. It just opened my eyes about it all it was so confusing beforehand to me & now I have such a better understanding.. I'd like to hear even more about it & what it's doing to current Senate issues. Also what it takes to stop it & what it will do if other party comes into control... will Democrats be screwed! Thanks Chris ... AWESOME conversation!!
