So part of the training that officers and law enforcement need is not just you know, what are the signs and what is the law, but also to be aware of their own biases and to be aware enough to be able to put themselves in the situation of both of the participants in a domestic violence situation.
That's correct. The wrongful death lawsuit was dismissed at the trial court level because of the Governmental Immunity Act. But the Utah Constitution says that the legislature and statute cannot infringe a person's ability to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against or to recover in wrongful death for damages.
And so there's a conflict between the Utah Constitution and this governmental immunity statute. And that's the basis of our appeal to the Utah Supreme Court.
There was some settlement, but I'll let Joe and Tara speak to that if they'd like.
Brian Stewart, welcome back to Wall Street Breakfast. Great to be here on a Friday with you.
Yesterday, we had some discussion talking about markets going lower. What are you seeing out of the markets? What are you most focused on at week's end and looking ahead to next week?
What were those trials and
Along with the losses from the weight loss drug makers, we also saw some big losses from the big discount retailers. Tesla, nobody paying attention to the markets is ignoring that fact. Tesla has been down pretty consistently. Starbucks has been down pretty consistently. What would you, is there a theme there?
perhaps putting himself out there in the zeitgeist. And as you said, making a leadership mark, I would say maybe as much for optics as for anything else.
Looking ahead to next week, what are you focused on there?
Great to be here. Glad for the extra chance to talk to everybody.
So obviously we started this week with a big sell-off. There were rising inflation concerns. This was stoked over the weekend by some comments Trump made about moving into a transitionary period with the changes that he's making.
In his administration, there's rising worry that he's going to kind of shove the market off a cliff by doing severe job cuts in the public space and by putting tariffs into place. So the general idea that Trump is OK with a recession kind of sent people in. into a panic. The market has stabilized since then.
I mean, one of the good points about going down quickly is the faster you go down, the sooner you hit bottom. So there's the debate going on about whether we've hit the bottom or whether we've kind of just settled on a ledge somewhere, just sort of waiting for the next step lower.
So if we just look at the markets for today, we're not seeing anything dramatic. It's down again, down about 1% on the S&P 500. So there hasn't been a major snapback yet. So there's not a wave of buyers coming back to the market. So there's generally feeling
waiting for either the next shoe to drop or the next piece of data to send the market higher, something that's going to give some sort of idea that we've gotten all the selling out of our system. So I would look for the Fed next week as a major catalyst. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of earnings coming out, so there's probably not going to be a good corporate catalyst for the market in general.
There might be individual stories that come out, but not something that's going to move the entire market. So you're probably looking to the middle of next week before you see anything concrete. Otherwise, between now and then, we're probably just moving on momentum and just overall sentiment.
So Bitcoin's down today, gold's up a little bit, oil's down a little bit. So honestly, that's just sort of on brand for how the market has been lately. Crypto, along with some of the major tech names, has been sort of the big story on the down side. downside as we've been selling off lately.
As you and I talked about last week, the Bitcoin situation is kind of interesting in the sense that longer term, if there's going to be a strategic Bitcoin reserve, if there's going to be larger sort of institutional buy-in for that, that provides a floor for Bitcoin and a long-term catalyst to push it forward. But in the near term, it moves like a high risk asset.
So you're seeing it being treated like that in the market lately. So it was a big decliner when stocks were down earlier this week and it's continuing, it's moved down. So I think that if you're looking at Bitcoin, you should probably look at it in that light for the near term, just sort of seeing it as a proxy for overall kind of risk sentiment within the market.
