Summary

The Supreme Court case Trump v. Slaughter cause could expand presidential powers and allow President Trump to dismiss members of independent agencies such as the FTC. FOX Business Correspondent Lydia Hu joins to examine the debate over presidential authority within the executive branch, and the FTC’s regulatory role, including its review of major mergers such as the proposed Netflix–Warner Bros. deal, and the Supreme Court’s forthcoming ruling on the president’s tariff powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.Plus, U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins joins to outline the reforms he has implemented, the strengthened coordination between his department and the Department of War, and the new strategies being developed to confront veteran suicide and the broader mental-health struggles many former service members encounter after leaving the military.
