Speaker Johnson, Mark Duplass, & Getting SALT Back 09/18/24

Squawk Pod

The House of Representatives is voting on a stopgap funding bill–but Washington expects it to fail. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) discusses the voter verification legislation that he’s attached to the bill, despite limited Republican support. Actor, writer, and producer Mark Duplass is known for his roles on The Morning Show and The Mindy Project, but he’s betting on a big shift for streaming. Ahead of the launch of “Penelope,” Duplass explains his inspiration for his new series and for a new approach to the entertainment business. The EU has ruled to annul a $1.7B fine on Alphabet, and Steve Cohen is stepping further back from the trading desks at Point72, and Ozempic might be targeted for a price cut. Plus, former President Trump has vowed to “get SALT back” if reelected, despite having signed the SALT deduction cap into law during his first term.
