Everything Compliance: Episode 148, The Trump’s 1st Week Edition

Welcome to this Edition of the award-winning Everything Compliance. In this episode, the truncated triplet of Matt Kelly, Tom Fox, and Karen Moore takes a deep dive into Trump’s First Week and what it all means for compliance.

  1. Karen Moore takes a deep dive into the War on DEI. She rants about Meta dropping its fact-checking. She rants about the sportsmanship of those at the Australian Open who booed Novak Djokovic for having the temerity to become injured and forced to withdraw from his match but shouts out to the Bills Mafia who supported Ravens Tight End Mark Andrews after his dropped touchdown pass.
  2. Matt Kelly considers the DOGE Commission’s insanity and its morphing into a technology committee. He rants about the Trump Administration’s inane action in trying to invalidate the Constitution and shouts out Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour for putting a TRO in place for Trump’s alleged Order overruling the 14th Amendment on birthright citizenship.
  3. Tom Fox leads a discussion on the potential weaponization of the FCPA and FEPA. He shouts out to Jackie Smith, who presaged Mark Andrews by 26 years by dropping a wide-open touchdown pass from Roger Staubach in the 1979 Super Bowl, and to Houston Astro Billy Wagner for his election into the MLB Hall of Fame.
