Capitol Trades’ Data Powers CNBC’s ‘Last Call’ Podcast

CNBC’s new show, 'Last Call’, explores the business implications of stock-market headlines such as the SVB’s collapse and the trading activity of US politicians. Powered by Capitol Trades’ data, the debut episode delved into Congress Members’ defense stock trading amidst the Ukraine war. 

Capitol Trades is the ultimate resource for tracking the trading activity of US politicians and lawmakers. 

2iQ Research is excited to work alongside CNBC by providing powerful data and unique insight for ‘Last Call’. Right off the bat, our free-to-use platform has underpinned a pointed analysis of congressional trading linked to the war in Ukraine.

In this episode, The New York Times’s Kate Kelly joins host Brian Sullivan to hone in on the portfolio of Diana Harshbarger, a former Homeland Security Committee member, and current member Daniel Goldman. Since the war began, both have invested in security companies such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. 2iQ also reported on Lockheed Martin and the significant insider buying at the company in February 2023. 

Last Call explores the recent performance of those trades and the solid financial backgrounds of these politicians. The show’s analysts also touch on the irony of these trades, as politicians such as Goldman are making significant investments despite campaigning against congressional trading.
