On today's podcast:
1) President Trump asks the Supreme Court to uphold his global tariff regime. A defeat for Trump would cut the current average US effective tariff rate by at least half and could force the US to refund tens of billions of dollars, according to Bloomberg Economics analyst Chris Kennedy.
2) A major court victory for Harvard University in its fight for federal research funds. A court ruled that the US illegally froze more than $2 billion in research funding to Harvard University, violating the school's free speech rights and not following proper procedures. The Trump administration plans to appeal the decision, with a White House spokeswoman calling it "egregious" and stating that Harvard "does not have a constitutional right to taxpayer dollars and remains ineligible for grants in the future."
3) President Trump's bid to reshape the Fed goes before a Senate confirmation hearing today. The Senate Banking Committee is holding a confirmation hearing on Stephen Miran's appointment to be a governor of the Federal Reserve, a nomination made by President Donald Trump. Miran has said he will preserve the Fed's independence, stating that "independence of monetary policy is a critical element for its success" and that he intends to "preserve that independence and serve the American people to the best of my ability."
