Hosts Anant Raut and Paula Camara discuss with Dr. Vasconcelos how merger enforcers applied this theory in their reviews of the AT&T/Time Warner and Fresenius/NxStage mergers, and differences between the US and European approaches.

Veteran business journalist James B. Stewart specializes in getting behind the scenes to tell the stories of rich, powerful, and complicated subjects. He has a doozy with “Unscripted”, the new book he co-wrote about the last days of media mogul Sumner Redstone, who at one point was one of the most powerful men in the industry, and whose decline fueled years of fighting between his family, his employees, and his mistresses. If you like tawdry tales of sex, avarice, and greed — or wanted to know some of the real-life backstories behind HBO's “Succession” — this is for you. Stewart also talks about other massive media stories he's covered, including Bob Iger's rise at Disney, and the AT&T/Time Warner shotgun marriage and divorce. Stewart also offers reporting tips and explains why his background as a lawyer helps him as a journalist. Featuring: James B.

The antitrust agencies' approach to vertical mergers has been the subject of significant debate — with potential changes still on the horizon. Last summer, the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission issued long-awaited Vertical Merger Guidelines, the first update since 1984. The FTC's challenge to the Illumina/Grail merger — which sits at the intersection of healthcare and developing technology issues — is currently scheduled to begin an administrative trial next month. This would mark the first vertical merger litigation under the new Vertical Merger Guidelines, and one of the first since the DOJ's loss in AT&T/Time Warner. Our panel of experts discuss the recent developments in the vertical merger space, the theories at issue in the Illumina/Grail case, and implications for enforcement activity over the coming months and years.Featuring:- Steve Cernak, Partner, Bona Law PC- Michael Kades, Director, Markets and Competition Policy, Equitable Growth- Bruce Kobayashi, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University- Thomas Lambert, Wall Chair in Corporate Law and Governance and Professor of Law, University of Missouri School of Law- Taylor Owings, Partner, Baker Botts L.L.P.- [Moderator] Elyse Dorsey, Adjunct Professor, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason UniversityVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.

The AT&T/Time Warner merger marks the first time in 40 years that a court has decided a fully-litigated challenge to a vertical merger. On February 26, 2019 the D.C. Circuit affirmed unanimously Judge Leon's district court decision holding the Department of Justice Antitrust Division had failed to show that the proposed merger would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act because it was not likely to substantially lessen competition. Did the court reach the right result and why? What does the decision mean for vertical merger enforcement and analysis moving forward? Are the antitrust agencies likely to issue new vertical merger guidelines? Join us for a discussion about these and other important lessons from the AT&T/Time Warner decision.Featuring: Joshua D. Wright, University Professor and Executive Director, Global Antitrust Institute, Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University Jan M. Rybnicek, Senior Associate, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer

Politicians like Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continue to talk about how much they love socialism. But do Americans? Is what they're advocating actually socialism? Will the Democrats nominate someone who claims to be a socialist as their 2020 nominee? And there are accusations that Donald Trump tried to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger because he doesn't like CNN. Do you believe it?

The recent elimination of network neutrality rules by the FCC and re-emphasis on a lighter touch free market approach to the telecom sector came with a promise that antitrust enforcement by the DOJ and FCC would serve as a backstop to mitigate the risk of potentially harmful discriminatory conduct and to promote continued efficiency gains in the sector. Does a recent wave of telecom mergers and acquisitions raise questions about the nature and extent of antitrust enforcement needed to assure dynamism without undercutting innovation in the sector? Our panelists will discuss lessons learned from this recent enforcement activity and the future of competition enforcement, with particular commentary on Tribune/Sinclair, Disney/Fox, and AT&T/Time Warner.Featuring: George Ford, Ph.D., Chief Economist, The Phoenix Center For Advanced Legal &.

H. Claire Brown: How an FDA Algorithm is Killing Bodegas (Ep. 169) The New Food Economy’s Claire Brown joined Joe Miller to discuss how an FDA algorithm is killing bodegas by flagging otherwise legal transactions as fraud. Bio H. Claire Brown (@hclaire_brown) is a staff writer for The New Food Economy focusing on food policy and the environment. Her reporting has won awards from the Newswomen’s Club of New York and the New York Press Club. She is based in Brooklyn. Resources New Food Economy How an Algorithm kicks small businesses out of the food stamp program on dubious fraud charges by Claire Brown Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger by Rebecca Traister News Roundup Federal officials worry about shutdown’s effect on cyber security Federal security officials are worried about the short and long-term harm to the nation’s cybersecurity during the shutdown. They’re worried about losing furloughed talent and about criminals and foreign actors taking advantage of the shutdown to launch cyberattacks. Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly issued a strong rebuke against Trump for the shutdown saying it’s immoral and unnecessary. She noted that when she served as the ranking member of the IT subcommittee in the last session of Congress, the subcommittee repeatedly discussed the federal government’s inability to attract top IT and tech talent. She said the shutdown makes federal IT jobs seem even less attractive than they were before. Motherboard paid $300 to a bounty hunter to access customer location info from carriers Remember in 2017 when the Republican-controlled Congress repealed the Obama-FCC’s privacy rules that would have required carriers to obtain opt-in consent from customers before sharing their data? Well, Motherboard’s Joseph Cox reported last week that he paid just 300 bucks to a bounty hunter to identify the location of a phone. This is exactly the kind of harm the privacy rules were designed to prevent. The Motherboard investigation found that all the bounty hunter had to do was purchase the location data that ultimately came from T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint and voilá – here’s your phone … or the phone of that person you’re stalking … So House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Frank Pallone demanded an emergency briefing from FCC Chairman Ajit Pai … Pai declined, citing the shutdown --- claiming that the issue wasn’t a “threat to the safety of human life or property.” AG nominee Barr to recuse himself from AT&T/Time Warner merger appeal Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar announced last week that Trump’s attorney general nominee William Barr assured her in a private meeting that he would recuse himself from the AT&T/Time Warner Merger. The Justice Department is appealing a lower court’s decision to approve the $85 billion merger of the two companies. Barr’s Senate confirmation hearing takes place today, Tuesday, January 15. Google shareholder sues for $90 million Andy Rubin payout Google shareholder James Martin filed a lawsuit against the company last week for its $90 million payout to former executive Andy Rubin after he left the company amidst sexual harassment allegations. The complaint alleges a “multi-year scheme to cover up sexual harassment and discrimination at Alphabet” and claims the board, including Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, breached their fiduciary duties as board members and as executives who set the internal tone that enabled extramarital affairs at the company.
