"Balance of Power" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Senator Dick Durbin (D) Illinois states the President "will ignore the law," when referring to a judge temporarily halting Trump’s freeze on grant funding, and says Kash Patel, Pres. Trump’s nominee to lead the FBI, is not fit to lead the agency. Mary Lovely, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, weighs in on DeepSeek and whether the United States needs to tighten export controls or if President Trump should place tariffs on foreign chips
