Stocks hitting more record highs: Sara Eisen, David Faber, and Carl Quintanilla discussed the latest on the markets front with Goldman’s Chief U.S. Economist… Along with his response to the President’s recent post railing against the company and his team’s report on tariff costs. Plus: some surprising new names being floated as potential replacements for Fed Chair Powell – hear who they are this hour - along with a deep-dive on the legal landscape for big tech with a former commissioner at the FTC (as AI start-up Perplexity makes a big for Google’s Chrome Browser, and Elon Musk threatens to sue Apple over antitrust concerns).

Also in focus: a series of key names on the move… The team discussed Cava and Coreweave’s double-digit declines, Paramount-Skydance shares surging on little news, and what to expect from a new entrant at the New York Stock Exchange – Crypto exchange ‘Bullish’, set to trade under the ticker BLSH. Plus, hear from the CEO of quantum computing darling ‘Rigetti Computing’ – whose shares are up nearly *1,700%* over the last year.
