Walter Isaacson & Business Roundtable CEO Josh Bolten 5/19/25

The House Budget Committee advanced President Trump’s multi trillion-dollar domestic policy package Sunday night, just two days after conservatives voted to reject it. CNBC’s Eamon Javers reports on this and President Trump’s clash with Walmart over tariff-driven price hikes. Walter Isaacson, biographer and Tulane professor, discusses gene editing breakthroughs and biotech innovation amid federal funding cuts, as well as the White House’s relationship with corporate America’s leaders. Then, Business Roundtable CEO Josh Bolten weighs in on how CEOs are responding to Trump-era policies, including the President’s trade agenda. Plus, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has announced plans to acquire most of 23andMe’s assets for $256 million.
