Summary

Washington lawmakers like Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are raising concerns over Capital One’s planned acquisition of Discover. Antitrust laws and consumer protections are just part of the regulatory pushback on the deal. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Charles Duhigg is out with a new book, “Supercommunicators.” He explains what differentiates a good communicator from a super one, including a polite, inquisitive attitude. Manhattan Institute’s Allison Schrager warns that 401ks might be gone in 10 years, as the government seeks additional sources of revenue. Plus, Uber joins Dow Transports, Amazon joins the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Intuitive Machines’ stock–and lunar mission–is on the move. Charles Duhigg - 13:21 Allison Schrager - 24:47 In this episode: Charles Duhigg, @cduhigg Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Katie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie
