Description: Episode 101: Today, Ann analyzes the market reaction to the Justice Department’s criminal investigation of Fed Chair Jerome Powell - and why investors largely shrugged off the escalating tension between the White House and the Fed.  Then we look at Paramount's fresh salvo in the war over Warner Brothers Discovery and the role that legacy cable networks like TBS and CNN might ultimately play in the merger.  Finally, survey the merger of Sun Country and Allegiant Airlines, the teaming of Apple and Gemini to power Siri and the new president of Meta.
