In a week packed with political upheaval, conservative voices celebrate sweeping victories they attribute to Donald Trump's growing influence: Congress passes a historic $9.4B rollback targeting NPR, USAID, and unspent Biden-era funds; two major transgender clinics close; and California's high-speed rail project faces major defunding. Critics of USAID accuse it of fueling global chaos and terrorism, while advocates frame the budget cuts as the beginning of a larger crusade to dismantle the deep state. This episode captures the rising momentum behind America First policies and the backlash to progressive institutions.

Patrick fields pressing questions about Catholic teaching on mortal sin, moral relativism, and what truly counts as grave matter. A caller describes a broken family tie, seeking insight into relational pain, while another wrestles with the moral weight of honesty during life-or-death situations. He shares practical resources and scriptural foundations, responding to heartfelt struggles with faith, obligation, and complex family burdens. Patrick continues his conversation with Kurt from the end of the last hour asking about the conditions of mortal sin and the “grey line” of relativism. (01:03) Enrique - Is there moral grounds for my brother to abandon our family and not have any conversations with them? (17:55) Angel - My family member declined to go to Mass with us this Sunday.

Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Tank Talks! In this episode, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo cut through the noise to unpack the latest economic headlines and policy shifts reshaping North America's business landscape. From Canada's surprise repeal of the Digital Services Tax to Brookfield's launch of an evergreen private equity fund, this episode dives deep into the forces driving change in trade, finance, and innovation.Will Canada's late-stage policy reversal strengthen its position in U.S. trade talks? Are evergreen funds the next big wave in private equity? And how will digital-only banks and stablecoins reshape the future of finance? Tune in for all that and more!Canada's Digital Services Tax Repealed at the 11th Hour (00:14)Just hours before the June 30th collection date, Canada repealed its controversial 3% digital services tax to clear the runway for renewed trade negotiations with the U.S. Matt and John unpack the political optics, the timing missteps, and why this repeal might've come too late to score real leverage in the upcoming Carney-Trump summit.Trade Tensions and a Pivot Away from U.S. Exports (02:50)With U.S. tariffs still biting Canadian industries like steel, aluminum, and autos, exports to non-U.S. markets jumped 5.7% in May. John analyzes the long-term risks and what a 10% tariff “compromise” could mean for Canadian trade policy moving forward.Brookfield's Evergreen Fund: Liquidity vs. Strategy (06:37)Brookfield's launch of a new evergreen private equity fund is raising eyebrows. These liquid investment vehicles are tailored for high-net-worth investors, but could they undermine Brookfield's traditional closed-end funds? Matt and John discuss the tradeoffs and potential disruption to institutional capital models.Stablecoins, Erebor & The Future of Banking (10:53)With the launch of Erebor, a new U.S. digital-only bank backed by Palmer Luckey, Peter Thiel, and Joe Lonsdale, the open banking revolution is heating up. But will Canada get left behind amid regulatory hesitations? The duo explores how stablecoins and crypto-native banks are reshaping the financial ecosystem.The “Big Beautiful Bill”: Trillions in U.S. Spending (13:56)At nearly 1,000 pages and $4.85 trillion, the latest U.S. tax and spending package is a behemoth. John calls out some of the more controversial provisions, like Section 899, a “revenge tax” aimed at foreign investors, and weighs in on what this means for the U.S. deficit and global investment climate.Figma Files to Go Public: A Product-Led Rocketship with a Caveat (16:49)Figma's S-1 filing reveals eye-popping growth: $750M in 2024 revenue, 91% gross margins, and 90% of the Fortune 500 on board. But one number raised eyebrows, its definition of net revenue retention. Is the 132% figure misleading? Matt and John dissect the metrics and what investors need to know.Anthropic & OpenAI's Revenue Explosion (19:39)AI darlings Anthropic and OpenAI are shattering expectations, with annualized revenues of $4B and $10B, respectively. What's fueling this growth, and is it sustainable? Matt and John assess the trajectory and strategic implications for the broader AI race.Meta's Talent War: $300M Signing Bonuses & AI Domination (20:30)Meta's aggressive push into AI includes poaching top OpenAI talent with eye-watering offers reportedly reaching $300M. Is this visionary investing, or panic-mode recruiting? The conversation digs into the implications of Meta's superintelligence ambitions and the high-stakes battle for AI supremacy.Microsoft Layoffs: AI Efficiency or Budget Strategy? (22:52)With Microsoft cutting 9,000 jobs, questions swirl around whether AI-driven efficiencies or strategic capital reallocation are the real drivers. John shares his take on what this means for enterprise software, consulting firms, and the future of knowledge work.As the tides of global economics, innovation, and technology continue to shift, Tank Talks is your front-row seat to the big moves shaping our world.

Story of the Week (DR):Warner Bros. Discovery Reworks CEO Pay, Reducing David Zaslav's Massive Compensation DRDavid Zaslav will take a pay cut after Warner Bros. Discovery splits up—with a big hit to his bonusDavid Zaslav Is Getting a Pay CutWarner Bros to significantly slash CEO David Zaslav's pay packageWarner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav Pay to Drop After Company SplitDavid Zaslav's Pay To Be “Substantially” Lowered Ahead Of Split, WBD Says, But CEO Will Still Reap RewardsIf Zaslav hits 100% of his operational and financial goals in the first year after the split, his target pay will be $16.5mn, compared with $37mn in the current contract. If he hits 200% of the targets, it will be as high as $30mn, the company said on Monday.However, the bulk of Zaslav's future pay will be based on stock options after shareholders rebuked a model based on free cash flow generation.The securities filing made late on Monday said the beleaguered media boss would receive about 24mn in WBD shares that could be purchased for the current $10.16 price.If the share price were to double, the package could eventually be worth nearly $250mn.Two weeks after 60% of Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders rejected CEO David Zaslav's $52M pay plan, the Compensation Committee restructured his plan using Hollywood's latest CGI, special effects, and most seasoned stunt doubles: his new plan reduces his annual pay targets significantly–from $37M to $17M if he hits 100% of his targets–but the devil is in the details as he is eligible for $37M if he reaches 200% of his targets and is getting a massive option grant of 21 million shares at an extremely low strike price of around $10 per share, giving him the theoretical opportunity to make $1.4B if Warner Brothers' share price regains its 2021 high of $77.Boeing's longest-tenured director Lynn Good joins the Board of Morgan Stanley just two days after the crash of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in India killed more than 200 people.Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says his company is a 'convenient scapegoat' as European cities protest overtourism“In Barcelona, housing prices rose 60% over the past decade, but Airbnb listings actually decreased. So we can't be the culprits.”Corporate Italy lacks female CEOs, stock exchange head warnsClaudia Parzani, the head of Milan's stock exchange: Italy lacks women in position of leadership and that's a cultural issue that the business community needs to fix: “Last year we probably reached the lowest level of female CEOs leading listed companies at Milan's Stock Exchange.” Of course the article provided no data.Australia's highest-paid CEOs revealed — and the one woman on the listShemara Wikramanayake, the only woman in the top 20, made $30 million as CEO of Macquarie Group.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: What Is a ‘Fridge Cigarette'?

In this roundup, we break down the 2025 IPO wave, spotlighting Chime's $18.4B debut and what it may signal for fintech's place in a crypto-disrupted future. We dive into Salesforce's bold new acquisition and what it could mean for enterprise software consolidation. On the AI front, we track how tech giants like Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet are pouring billions into AI infrastructure across the public and cloud sectors. Then we zoom in on the private markets, where AI unicorns are trading at eye-popping revenue multiples—some over 500x. We ask the hard question: are these valuations justified or signs of another tech bubble?   To learn more, visit us on the web at https://www.morgancreekcap.com/morgan-creek-digital/.

James declares that Michigan—and America—are back, thanks to Trump's tariffs and the return of factory jobs. GM's $4B reshoring is just math, not patriotism, he argues, and proof that America works when it acts like it matters. Dickson torches the free-trade consensus, Lansing's corporate handouts, and Gretchen Whitmer's fall from girlboss glory. It's a battle cry for reindustrialization, working-class dignity, and building something real again—no think tanks required.Discover more at Enjoyer.com/PodcastFollow James on X: @DownI75 This is a public episode.

Send us a textBuckle up. In this Daily Drop, Jared steamrolls through a Pentagon fever dream where California governors cry about sovereignty, the Air Force funds anxiety nap pods, and Russia's Spiderweb drone strikes are the new nightmare fuel. Meanwhile, Trump deploys 2,000 National Guard troops to L.A., the Air Force downs another billion on wingman drones, and Space Force is somehow both broke and booming.The DoD can't acquire software on time, the Air Force is buying nap boxes instead of fixing actual morale, and Space Force wants $4B more to figure out what they even do. If you were hoping for clarity, this ain't it. But if you like chaos with a side of sarcasm and defense budget insanity—you're in the right place.

On Tuesday, a pseudonymous X account claimed that Pump.fun, Solana's breakout memecoin launchpad, would raise $1 billion via an ICO at a $4 billion valuation. The potential deal? Multiple CEX listings, a 10% community airdrop, and maybe even a launch by the end of the month. The community reaction? Not great. In this episode, Syncracy Capital's Ryan Watkins joins to break down the backlash, whether the raise makes sense, and what this kind of fundraising says about the current state of crypto. He discusses: Whether Pump needs $1 billion and what they'd even do with it Why some people are furious, even as Pump prints revenue If this is bullish or bearish for Solana Why an airdrop was not pursued Whether the $4 billion valuation makes sense Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Ledn FalconX Human Rights Foundation Ryan Watkins, Co-founder of Syncracy Capital Unchained: Pump.fun Mulls $1B Token Sale Nextfckingthing's tweet breaking the news  Ansem's tweet on “pump fun raising $1B at $4B after Trumpcoin launch is like the second plane hitting the towers” Ansem's poll Ryan's tweet on “Pump anger”  Solojay tweet on Pump's top 25 wallets Mosi's tweet on why “Pump's ICO seems like an asymmetric bet (skewed to the downside)” Timestamps:

This week, Ryan and David unpack Circle's explosive $20B IPO—crypto's second biggest—and what it signals about Wall Street's newfound love for stablecoins. They break down the confusing Trump wallet drama, where even Trump's own sons deny involvement, and explore why Pump.fun's rumored $4B token raise has the industry split. Ethereum enters “wartime mode” as the Foundation lays off staff and spins up a lean new R&D force called Protocol. Plus, Ray Dalio says “a bit of Bitcoin,” Trump's Big Beautiful Bill adds $2.4T to the deficit, and SBF is headed to Netflix. ------

Send us a textIt's another beautifully chaotic episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, and today we're launching straight into the bureaucratic bonfire. Jared's back with updates so wild you'd think the Pentagon was drunk texting Congress. From billion-dollar GPS launches to PFAS exposure going prime time, we're diving headfirst into drone dread, six-gen fighter delays, Space Force spending black holes, and the VA disability floodgates cracking wide open.Also: A WWII hero finally gets his due, Canada's prepping for WWIII by 2028, and NATO's still hoping its members hit 2% defense spending...by 2036. Meanwhile, GPS going dark could cause global chaos (shocker), and everyone's pretending we'll somehow counter Ukraine-style drone strikes with... what, PowerPoints?

Chinese Nationals Charged with Agro-Terrorism in Michigan – The FBI arrests a Chinese student and her boyfriend for smuggling a wheat-killing fungus into the U.S., potentially targeting America's food supply.

The rift deepens after Trump withdraws NASA nominee Jared Isaacman and House Republicans defend cuts to EV subsidies and NPR. A rescission bill is introduced to walk back $9.4B in spending. Vietnam Faces U.S. Trade Pressure, South Korea Elects Pro-China Socialist – Vietnam agrees to buy $2B in U.S. goods but resists Trump's demand to curb Chinese transshipping. Meanwhile, South Korea elects Lee Jae-myung, a Bernie Sanders-style leftist who questions U.S. troop presence and cozies up to Beijing, complicating future Taiwan conflict strategy. China's Auto Glut and Rare Earth Strategy Spark Global Tensions – Chinese car dealers beg automakers to slow production as $7,500 vehicles swamp the market.

Today's Headlines: The Trump–Musk bromance may be ending, with Elon blasting Trump's $2.3 trillion spending bill as a “disgusting abomination” and calling to oust lawmakers who supported it. Meanwhile, the Trump administration formally requested Congress to undo $9.4B in DOGE's previous cuts via a rescission process, still falling far short of Musk's promised $2T in cuts. New 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum go into effect tonight (except for the UK), but are subject to change next month. The administration also rescinded 2022 guidance protecting abortion access in emergency cases, exposing providers to prosecution in 13 states with total bans. FEMA's acting head reportedly didn't know the U.S. had a hurricane season, worsening concerns as meteorologists warn they're too understaffed to predict storm paths. In other news, DHS officers handcuffed a Nadler aide, accusing his office of “harboring rioters” after staff watched ICE detain migrants. The Supreme Court declined to hear gun rights cases, leaving Maryland and Rhode Island's bans intact. Just in time for Pride month, the Navy will rename the USNS Harvey Milk to align with a “warrior culture” vision.
