Tensions in the GOP, China’s Public Health, & Bill Ackman: Not-So-Sweet on Soda 01/03/23
Description: Welcome to 2023! It’s a new year, a new Congress, and a difficult vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), whose potential role as House Speaker hinges on the fate of George Santos. Pollster and political strategist Frank Luntz discusses the now-infamous embellished resume, stress on the GOP, and the gamut of other economic and political issues facing the country in 2023. China has lifted its covid restrictions, and it’s facing a wave of illness. Former FDA Commissioner puts China’s post-covid journey in context with our own in the U.S. Plus, activist investor Bill Ackman is raising renewed alarm over soft drinks, but Warren Buffett still fills up. Despite pushback on his stake in Coca-Cola, the 92-year-old has at least a few cans every day. Happy 99th birthday to his partner, Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charlie Munger!
