It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Zohran Mamdani delivers on two of his biggest campaign promises. The NYC mayor has secured $1.2B in funding to expand universal childcare from 2,000 seats to 12,000. Additionally, the NYC Rent Board has voted to freeze the rent on rent-controlled apartments - this applies to over a million apartments throughout the five boroughs. Megyn Kelly celebrates the Supreme Court revoking Temporary Protection Status from at least 350,000 refugees from Haiti and Syria with a racist rant. Ta-Nehisi Coates, author and journalist, joins the program for a conversation about his piece in Vanity Fair: "Did Kamala Harris' Silence on Gaza Cost Her the White House?" In the Fun Half: Governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro warns the DSA candidates that won their primaries that they won't be able to just engage in "performative politics" and eventually will have to deliver on their promises. Rep. Tom Suozzi goes on Fox News to "push back" against Mamdani's endorsed candidates.

Bitcoin is staring down its biggest day of the week: a $10.6 BILLION Deribit options expiry Friday with nearly 80% of positions out-of-the-money, clustered around a $60K put and $80K call — meaning the next 48 hours will decide whether the relief rally extends or collapses. CryptoQuant publicly called on Saylor to STOP buying as Strategy's dividend obligations QUADRUPLED to $1.2B annually. Add the dollar at a 7-month high, Meta secretly building a prediction market called Arena, the CFTC suing Kentucky as the federal-state war hits 9 states, and the CLARITY Act with 4 unresolved sticking points and 5 weeks until Senate recess — and Friday's $10.6B expiry is the single most important catalyst of Q3. We break down what $60K vs $80K means for the rest of the cycle, whether Saylor will actually pause, and which catalyst could break the floor before Friday. Learn more about your ad choices.

Who were the biggest prospect standouts of Week 12 of the 2026 MiLB season?In this episode, Tim Kanak (@FantasyAceball) breaks down his T-10 MLB Prospects of the Week, spotlighting the hottest performers across Minor League Baseball — from upper-level bats on the doorstep of the majors to breakout arms and under-the-radar risers making serious noise throughout the minors.This week's list features a loaded mix of impact power bats, fast-rising pitching prospects, dynasty baseball targets, and deep sleepers that fantasy managers and prospect junkies need to know.1. Joshua Baez, OF, CardinalsOne of the loudest toolsy bats in the minors had a monster week, launching five home runs — including a four-homer game — while continuing to show the kind of power/speed upside that can turn him into a true breakout dynasty asset.2. Brandon White, SP, MarlinsWhite continued his breakout campaign with 11 strikeouts and no walks over 7 scoreless innings at AAA. The improved command, velocity, and sharper secondaries are making him a legitimate name to watch in both redraft and dynasty formats.3. Demetrio Crisantes, 2B, DiamondbacksOne of the most underrated hitters in the minors right now, Crisantes tore through Week 12 with a huge average, multiple extra-base hits, and continued evidence that his hit tool and offensive polish are deserving of much more prospect attention.4. Caden Scarborough, SP, RangersScarborough flashed some of the best raw stuff in the minors again, piling up strikeouts with a power fastball and nasty breaker combination that gives him real frontline upside if the command continues to come along.5. Brandon Compton, OF, MarlinsThe tools remain massive, and so was the week. Compton mashed five home runs and added four steals, reminding everyone that few players in the minors have his blend of power, athleticism, and fantasy upside.6. Jace Beck, SP, CubsThe 6'9” right-hander keeps getting more interesting. Beck turned in another dominant start, missing bats with extension, plane, and a fastball shape that can overwhelm hitters when he's in the zone.7. Jacob Friend, C/1B, RedsFriend keeps forcing his way into the conversation. A huge week at the plate featured power, extra-base damage, and even stolen bases, giving him one of the more interesting breakout profiles among bat-first catching/corner options.8. Sean Keys, 1B/3B, Blue JaysKeys continues to hit his way onto the dynasty radar with another power-filled week. The lefty bat is making louder contact, doing more damage in the zone, and looking like one of the more underrated breakout hitters in the minors.9. Cam Leiter, SP, DodgersLeiter continues to look too advanced for Low-A, attacking hitters with a deep arsenal, strong strike-throwing, and the kind of athleticism that gives him a chance to develop into a legitimate long-term starter.10. Raudi Rodriguez, OF, AngelsRodriguez rounds out the list after another huge offensive week, continuing to stack extra-base damage and making a strong case as one of the better under-the-radar offensive performers in the minors this season.Tim also discusses several other notable Week 12 performers and prospect risers, including:Seth Hernandez, SP, PiratesKade Anderson, SP, MarinersHendrick Cana, SP/RP, CardinalsTheo Gillen, OF, RaysEthan Petry, 1B/OF, Nationals⚾ Tim's Top 10 MiLB performers from Week 12⚾ Dynasty baseball risers, breakouts, and buy targets⚾ Which prospects are pushing into the Top 100 conversation⚾ Upper-minors bats nearing MLB relevance⚾ Power arms and breakout pitchers dominating at every level⚾ Under-the-radar names fantasy managers should know now⚾ Updated long-term outlooks for some of baseball's hottest prospects

He then speaks with Frank Wright about the ARK conference, media-managed liberal democracy, and why Wright supports the Restore party and Rupert Lowe as an integrity-based response to mass migration, demographic change, economic dependency, and cultural decline, advocating repatriation, higher birth rates, and pro-family policy. Robinson later interviews Chase Geiser on launching his own network after Infowars' shutdown following Alex Jones' $1.2B default defamation judgment, and they discuss the NDAA, U.S.-Israel partnership concerns, the petrodollar, and public fatigue with propaganda. Robinson closes by responding to viewer comments on patriarchy, culture, and media, and ends with prayer.

Welcome to another episode of Invest & Scale! In today's conversation, we sit down with Jimmy Rousey, a seasoned entrepreneur and mentor whose journey from small‑town beginnings to billion‑dollar growth is built on grit, faith, and generosity. He reflects on decades of acquisitions, lessons from both wins and failures, and why values‑aligned partnerships are essential in business.Jimmy also shares the principles guiding his decisions, his approach to mentorship, and the inspiration behind his book Call to Care, which challenges us to integrate faith, purpose, and generosity into every investment. Whether you're an acquisition entrepreneur, investor, or seeking purpose‑driven insights, this episode delivers wisdom you won't want to miss.00:00 Defining the triple bottom line06:32 First time acquiring a business08:38 Building a diverse investment portfolio11:59 Navigating SBA loan programs16:11 Partnering on investment deals18:34 Discussing startup execution challenges20:30 Being bold and handling setbacks25:49 The importance of earning respect27:07 Unexpected impact of book sales31:18 Defining personal financial contentment1. Early Career and Banking - Jimmy grew up in a small town, skipped college, and pursued real estate and auctioneering before meeting Jess Correll. He joined First Southern National Bank when it held $21M in assets; it later grew to $1.2B.2. Culture and Faith - He realized all assets belonged to God, donated 10% of pre‑tax earnings to a foundation, and embraced the triple bottom line. The bank thrived even after his retirement.3. Mentorship - Jimmy distinguishes workplace mentorship from deeper faith‑based mentoring. Guided by Jess Correll and others, he continues mentoring students and prison ministry participants.4. Acquisition Mindset - Inspired by entrepreneurial banking initiatives, he bought and turned around troubled banks, expanded into royalties, land, oil, and equities, and stressed the importance of strong partners.5. Partnership Lessons - Success included a $7.5M investment sold for $120M. Failures became education. He identifies four partner types and emphasizes vetting and spending time with them.6. Debt and Lending - Jimmy advocates financial stability, avoiding excessive debt, and quick repayment of SBA 7A loans. Compass Financial principles guided borrowers toward healthier outcomes.7. Deal Structures - He prefers equal capital plus industry knowledge partnerships, is cautious with sweat equity, and notes differences between venture risk and acquisitions.8. Startups vs. Existing Businesses - His track record: 0 for 13 in startups. Execution and distribution matter more than ideas; superior products failed without strong distribution.9. Faith in Business - Prayer and Christian principles were integrated voluntarily. Employees ran support funds, Compass classes, and generosity initiatives in a non‑coercive environment.10. Call to Care - Encouraged by his wife, Jimmy authored Call to Care, a framework for growing people professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. CARE stands for Calling, Attitude, Respect, Excellence. He shares humility about failures and family traditions teaching generosity.11. Growth and Legacy - He redefines growth by asking “how much is enough?” and focuses on giving rather than accumulating. Conferences on generosity reinforced contentment. His legacy centers on love and spiritual encouragement for family.12. Hope and Encouragement - Mentorship is rooted in hope. Prison ministry examples show transformation. Encouragement is a powerful investment in others.13. Advice for Entrepreneurs - Integrate faith, mission, and business. Avoid money‑only focus; honor God in ventures. Transforming business culture post‑acquisition shows perseverance leads to success.14. Closing Thoughts - Jimmy advises: get facts, ask questions, avoid emotional decisions, and pray. Keep God central in business. The episode closes with thanks and encouragement.

Despite extensive investigations, countless theories, and decades of speculation, neither boy has ever been found. In Part One of The Paper Boy Abductions, I walk you through the mysterious disappearance of Eugene Martin, the haunting parallels to Johnny Gosch's case, and the questions that continue to surround two of Iowa's most infamous unsolved child disappearances.Anyone with information about Eugene Martin is asked to call Det.

It breaks SpaceX into three pillars: space launch/Mars ambitions (about $4.1B revenue in 2025), Starlink as the profitable cash engine (Q1 2026 connectivity revenue $3.3B with over $1.2B profit), and a major pivot into AI infrastructure with billions spent on data centers and custom hardware, described as roughly $8B per quarter. It notes the S-1 confirms SpaceX holds a significant digital asset and has been a longtime Bitcoin holder, while warning IPO volatility will be high and advising patience, monitoring Starlink growth and any post-IPO Bitcoin additions as potential catalysts.00:00 SpaceX IPO Shockwave00:55 Two Trillion Valuation Math01:11 Three Pillars Breakdown02:12 Starlink Cash Engine02:36 AI Infrastructure Pivot03:08 Bitcoin On The Balance Sheet03:59 IPO Risks And Mindset04:51 How To Play The IPO05:34 Live Coverage And Wrap Up________________________________________________________________FOLLOW ME ON X: https://twitter.com/staywinningusdFOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/staywinningusd/SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/@staywinningusdDOWNLOAD ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2lPyA19keI2fpr0xZrEKxMNEWSLETTER SIGNUP: https://stay-winning-wealth.kit.com/806fb337d7SUBSCRIBE TO THE BLOG: https://medium.com/@staywinningusd________________________________________________________________

This episode features Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of SecureAuth, joined by co-host Sarah Cicchetti, Director of Product Management at Semperis.Geoffrey has spent decades building and leading companies at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, including MistNet.ai, an AI-native threat detection platform acquired by LogRhythm, and Xage Security, where he drove zero trust adoption across the U.S. military, global energy firms, and Fortune 500 enterprises. At SecureAuth, he leads a platform built around continuous, real-time identity authority across workforces, APIs, and AI agents.In this episode, Geoffrey argues that agents combine the speed of automation with the unpredictability of humans, making real-time per-action authorization the only viable control model. He discusses why “friendly fire” from well-meaning employees is the biggest threat vector right now, how MCP vendors are ignoring their own OAuth spec, and what a practical agent rollout with real guardrails actually looks like.This episode reframes authorization as the problem the identity industry has been deferring for years and can no longer avoid.Guest Bio Geoffrey Mattson is a serial entrepreneur and globally recognized cybersecurity and AI executive with decades of experience building market-defining companies and technologies that protect the world's most critical systems.He is currently CEO of SecureAuth, a leader in AI-driven identity and access management with its Continuous Authority, ensuring ongoing verification across workforces, customers, APIs, and AI agents. This is enabled through its Private Authority Platform, which puts authentication and authorization under your control through any deployment model (cloud, on prem, hybrid, air-gapped).Prior to SecureAuth, Mattson served as CEO of Xage Security, where he led the company in Zero Trust for critical environments from energy to agentic AI. Under his leadership, Xage achieved rapid adoption across the U.S. military, global energy firms, and Fortune 500 enterprises.Previously, Geoffrey Mattson was co-founder and CEO of MistNet.ai, an AI-native threat detection platform acquired by LogRhythm. He pioneered decentralized analytics and machine learning approaches for real-time cyber defense, and later served as SVP of Product at LogRhythm, driving global expansion and shaping the next generation of SIEM/SOAR solutions.Earlier, he held senior executive roles at Juniper Networks, overseeing a $2B product portfolio and leading major M&A efforts, and at Huawei Technologies as SVP and CTO for networking and data center platforms. His engineering leadership at Corona Networks, Caspian, and Bay Networks helped build foundational technologies in network and security architecture.Guest Quote “With agents, you have the power and the speed of an automated process with the unpredictability of a human. And in fact, we are seeing their behavior and their psychology makes them even perhaps less predictable than a human.”Time stamps 01:45 Meet Geoffrey Mattson: Serial Entrepreneur and Cybersecurity Executive 02:40 Why Identity Is Having a Moment 08:40 Defining Agent Identity 12:15 Behavioral Guardrails for Agents 14:37 Agent Identity Lifecycle 17:36 Just-in-Time vs. Standing Privilege 18:02 C-Suite Pressure and Friendly Fires 21:00 When Agents Live Off the Land 26:12 MCP, OAuth, and Token Pitfalls 28:04 Threat Models and Rollout Strategy 30:13 LLMs and Policy Authoring 31:23 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSponsor The HIP Podcast is brought to you by Semperis, the leader in identity-driven cyber resilience for the hybrid enterprise.

In today's episode, Laura breaks down the real math behind building a profitable nurse coaching practice while cutting through fear and uncertainty to show you exactly what it takes to replace (and exceed) a traditional nursing income.Why it's "simple, not easy" - The framework for success is straightforward; what's hard is the internal shift in identity, fear of rejection, and limiting beliefsTraditional nursing income vs. coaching income - A nurse earning ~$40/hr working 36 hrs/week makes ~$74K/year; 10 coaching clients can generate the same income working far fewer hoursReal pricing numbers:New grad: $1,800/package → $72K/year (10 clients)Mid-career: $2,500/package → $100K/yearEstablished (2–3+ years): $3,000/package → $120K/yearTime breakdown — Full-time practice = 20–25 hrs/week total; 10 clients at 90 min/session = ~15 hrs of direct client work per monthPart-time model — 5–8 clients is fully achievable alongside other commitmentsThe 5-year projection — Why nurse coaching outpaces traditional nursing paths long-termReverse engineering $10K/month — At a $2,500 package, you need 4 "yes" conversations, ~16 proposals, and 40–60 invites per month (2–3 hours of outreach)The tugboat vs. lighthouse shift — Early on you invite people in; over time, clients come to youTop 5 Fears Laura Addresses"I'm an introvert" — Coaching is built for introverts"I suck at sales" — Sales is a learnable skill; nurse coaches call it advocacy"Who can afford coaching?" — Coaching is a $2.2B industry and tends to be recession-proof"I feel guilty charging" — Why charging clients is actually an act of belief in them"I'm an imposter" — Why imposter syndrome signals high intelligence and capacity for growthThe math isn't complicated. The work is internal.

Roughly 40% of companies in the space need that bridge to unlock larger institutional capital, and almost no one is set up to lead it.Kris on diligence limits: No one person can underwrite the full quantum stack. Firgun pairs a "scientific co-founder" with sub-specialists for each modality, because in quantum "no propositions sound stupid" — and that's exactly the problem.Zeynep on the asymmetric bet: Quantum is one of the few areas where geopolitical reality creates a floor under the downside. The West can't afford to lose, which means funding will be there long enough for the right companies to mature.Kris on willing the timeline: "You cannot will it into being. The space will evolve at the pace it is set to evolve with the capital and the talent in it." A useful corrective for anyone pitching a five-year cure-for-Parkinson's roadmap.Related Episodes

They debate whether Microsoft is finally moving beyond rebranding OpenAI/Anthropic models, discuss agent security concerns around Scout's OpenClaw/MCP foundations, and touch on the competitive push toward cheaper coding tools. The conversation broadens to quantum computing claims, data-center overbuild versus efficient small models and local inference, Anthropic's IPO valuation and Mythos/Glasswing security work, looming AI regulation challenges, robotics progress, and Canada's new AI strategy promising $2B, a supercomputer by 2031, and major adoption goals that they argue lacks implementation detail. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 00:19 Microsoft Drops New AI Stack 01:28 MAI Model And Clean Data 03:23 Copilot Confusion And Privacy 05:39 Maia Chips And Frontier Ambitions 12:14 Scout Agent And MCP Security 17:17 Microsoft Distribution And AI Economy 24:13 Apps Dying And Office Rivalry 27:20 Quantum Chip Shockwave 31:01 Data Centers Versus Small Models 35:51 NVIDIA RTX Spark Local AI 40:17 Software Overcapacity And CRM Threat 42:00 Why Software Gets Huge 44:41 DIY Simple Writer Demo 46:04 AI Note Taking Gadgets 48:47 Anthropic IPO Valuation 56:15 Mythos And Zero Days 59:25 Regulating AI Everywhere 01:04:24 Robots And China Scale 01:06:46 Canada AI Strategy Critique 01:15:56 Open Source Canada Plan 01:18:33 Hopeful Wrap Up

Jeff Dorman on why Strategy's four stakeholder classes are all losing, and why Saylor should have sold $2B of Bitcoin at once instead of $2.5M. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Fidelity: Explore opportunities at https://crypto.fidelitycareers.com ======================================================== Strategy's late-May Bitcoin sale has turned a long-running investor concern into a sharper question: how sustainable is the company's capital structure if its Bitcoin accumulation strategy now comes with large cash obligations? Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer at Arca, joins Laura Shin to discuss why the sale changed his view of the risks around Strategy. After months of pushing back on fears of forced selling, Dorman says the company's preferred-share financing has altered the analysis. He points to roughly $15 billion in preferred shares carrying 10% to 12% dividend rates, which he estimates could mean about $1.7 billion in annual cash obligations for a company without operating revenue. Dorman also breaks down the stakeholder groups shaping Strategy's choices, the tradeoffs each path may create, and the Polymarket dispute over whether Strategy sold Bitcoin in May.

C.O.B. Tuesday

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Steven Kobos, President and CEO of Excelerate Energy. Steven has served as President and CEO since 2018 and previously spent 11 years as a member of the company's Board of Directors and corporate counsel. Throughout his career, he has worked across global energy markets, including Kuwait, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, Finland, Germany, and the Middle East. Excelerate is a global leader in flexible LNG infrastructure solutions, focused on expanding access to reliable, affordable, and secure natural gas. The company operates one of the world's largest fleets of Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs) and provides integrated LNG solutions spanning the entire value chain. We were thrilled to hear Steven's perspective on the evolving and increasingly complex global energy landscape. In our conversation, we explore the evolution of the global LNG market, the impact of U.S. shale on Excelerate's business model, and why the company has increasingly focused on integrated LNG and infrastructure solutions rather than simply providing floating regasification assets. We discuss the growing importance of energy security following recent geopolitical disruptions, including tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and Steven's recent visit to the region, and the role LNG continues to play in supporting power generation, industrial growth, and economic development around the world. Steven walks us through Excelerate's newest FSRU, the Acadia, the company's expanding opportunities in Iraq, and how LNG imports are helping address power shortages and energy deficits across emerging markets. We discuss the future growth of global LNG demand, the increasing shift toward long-term supply contracts, the advantages of floating infrastructure versus traditional onshore facilities, and Excelerate's strategy of combining LNG supply with downstream infrastructure to open new markets. We also cover Argentina's Vaca Muerta opportunity, Brazil's hydro-backed power system, Finland's experience with energy security following disruptions to regional gas infrastructure, the growing role of U.S. LNG exports, and the support provided by the Trump Administration to promote American energy abroad. Steven shares several personal anecdotes, including helping launch LNG imports into Kuwait, opening new LNG markets across South Asia, visiting customers throughout the Gulf during the recent conflict, and witnessing firsthand how access to reliable energy can transform communities and economies. We covered a great deal and appreciate Steven for sharing his time and insights. Mike Bradley started the show by noting that markets continue to be driven almost entirely by on-and-off developments in the Middle East. Market sentiment last week was dominated by optimism that Iran and the U.S. were moving toward a Strait of Hormuz resolution, but this week has started with growing concern that a resolution may not be just around the corner. On the bond market front, the 10-year bond yield was trading at ~4.5% (up 6-7bps), driven by an Iranian resolution being pushed further to the right and constructive economic data. He noted that the May ISM Manufacturing report showed that U.S. manufacturing expanded at its fastest pace in four years. On the crude oil market front, WTI prices spiked ~$6/bbl (to $93/bbl) on concerns that an Iranian resolution could be delayed. The Strait of Hormuz needs to reopen quickly or risk global oil prices moving substantially higher, as oil markets enter the higher-demand summer months with critically low inventory levels. From an energy equity perspective, the Energy sector was up ~2% so far this week after a 5% pullback last week. On the broader equity market front, markets were modestly weaker as investors appeared unprepared for the prospect of an Iranian resolution being pushed further into the future. He ended by highlighting two IPOs scheduled to price over the next two weeks. Equity investors are most excited about the SpaceX IPO (expected to price next week at a ~$2T valuation). He also highlighted INNIO Holdings, a gas power system manufacturer that is expected to price later this week (raising ~$2B at a ~$20B valuation), which should provide a good read on how bullish sentiment remains across the engine manufacturing and distributed generation segments. Mark Castiglione added his questions and perspective to the discussion as well.

After finding a lump herself, Jessica moved through the overwhelming sequence of imaging, biopsies, chemotherapy, double mastectomy, radiation, reconstruction delays, implant complications, DIEP flap reconstruction, tamoxifen, and Verzenio.But as Jessica shares so honestly, one of the hardest parts was not only the treatment itself. It was the waiting: waiting for results, waiting for a plan, waiting to know what came next, and trying to live inside the uncertainty.This conversation is for anyone who has ever thought, “I just need a plan.” It is for anyone who has felt overwhelmed by the number of medications, appointments, side effects, and decisions that come with breast cancer. And it is especially for anyone who has reached the end of active treatment only to realize there is still so much more to navigate.Support the showListener FeedbackIf this episode resonated with you, we invite you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.You can also click the link in the show notes that says "Love this episode?
