Ralph welcomes back his old running mate, Native American activist, Winona LaDuke, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices to talk about her latest incarnation: hemp farmer. Then, we'll speak to Hal Weitzman, from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, about how Elon Musk's feud with Delaware may transform corporate America. Plus, we tick off Robert Reich's ten policy prescriptions the Democratic Party should fight for to beat the GOP in the upcoming midterms.Winona LaDuke is an activist, economist, and author, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices. She is also a two-time vice-presidential candidate with Ralph Nader. Ms. LaDuke lives and works on the White Earth Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota, where she runs Winona's Hemp & Heritage Farm. She is also a member of the Indigenous Hemp & Cannabis Farmer's Cooperative.I'm looking first at seed sovereignty. We're growing [European hemp] varieties and then we're growing these feral hemp varieties. They're called feral varieties (which of course, that's something that I love) which means that when they eradicated hemp in the 1930s with the Marijuana Prohibition Act—well, they missed some spots. And those guys kept growing. And so 80 years of being illegal—isn't that great? Something that's illegal for 80 years is still with us, rocking out. And so I figure if you grew illegally for 80 years, you are really a tough hemp plant…And so we are growing out these hemp varieties and built a cooperative because we want to own the seeds and we want to own the technology (the value-added processing), and we want to use this hemp as a part of our future as tribes.Winona LaDukeMy grandsons are farming. I don't know who else can say their grandchildren are farming—let me know. My grandchildren are farming. They're running the horses. They're running the farms. You know, that's a retirement plan. My 401k will be worth nothing, but my grandchildren will feed me. This is my strategy.Winona LaDukeHal Weitzman is Executive Director for Intellectual Capital at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, editor-in-chief of Chicago Booth Review, and host of The Chicago Booth Review podcast. A former Financial Times editor and foreign correspondent, he is the author of Latin Lessons: How South America Stopped Listening to the United States and Started Prospering and What's the Matter with Delaware?: How the First State Has Favored the Rich, Powerful, and Criminal—and How It Costs Us All.There is a race to the bottom. There's been a race to the bottom for many decades. That's not new. I think it's accelerated somewhat. Delaware has joined that race from having been something of a “premium product” in terms of incorporating companies—Delaware has become a bit more “cut-price” I would say, and in that sense has followed Texas and Nevada. So the conclusion that we have a race to the bottom and it may be worse than Delaware—actually I think Delaware's already there. So it's not that it's getting worse outside of Delaware, it's getting worse including Delaware.Hal WeitzmanThe trend I think we're seeing is the exclusion of small shareholders completely—regardless of the status of your shares, this is about how big you are. And if you're a small shareholder there is no corporate democracy for you… It was practice in the past for activist groups, campaigning groups, to buy one share of a company and then to go to the shareholder meeting so they could make the point that they wanted to make. Now that kind of shareholder democracy is being encroached on. And the extent now is to say: unless you have a large position (regardless of the size of the company and the cost of the shares), you will not be allowed to bring suits against the executives for the correct running of the company.Hal WeitzmanNews 7/17/26* Our top story this week is New York Governor Kathy Hochul's decision to impose a one-year “pause” on the construction of AI data centers across the state. ABC7 reports that this is the first such moratorium in the nation, despite similar attempts in several states, most notably Maine where Governor Janet Mills vetoed a bill to this effect. Hochul argues that the pause is necessary so lawmakers and regulators can formulate “Guardrails to reduce the risk to our energy grid, minimize land disruption, noise pollution, and protect our natural resources, especially our water supply.” Hochul's move comes amidst a broader push against AI data centers from the left. Semafor reports Senator Bernie Sanders proposed a nationwide ban in March and many progressives running for state and local office in the midterms have made this a cornerstone of their campaigns. According to this piece, “In February, polling from Marquette Law School found 70% of all Wisconsinites agreeing that ‘the costs of the data centers outweigh the benefits.' Among Democrats, the number was 85%.”* Another progressive Member of Congress quite literally stepped into another hot-button political issue this week. While visiting a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank Wednesday, Al Jazeera reports armed settlers stopped the van of Representative Ro Khanna and were “later joined by Israeli soldiers who continued to block the road.” In a video, Khanna points out, settlers can be seen “brandishing M4s [rifles], kicking the tyres of our van, laughing at us, mocking at us, videotaping us.” This continued for over an hour and was only resolved when he reached out to the American Embassy, according to Khanna. Israel has responded to this fiasco by blaming Khanna, accusing the congressman of failing to coordinate his trip with the Israeli government; Khanna retorted that “The [Israeli military] is lying” and called for the arrest of the violent settlers. Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson excoriated U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, writing “An American member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman…It's too much, too insulting and humiliating to America.”* Following his return from occupied Palestine, Khanna again teamed up with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky to sponsor an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which would have removed the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” from the must-pass legislation. Responsible Statecraft describes the initiative as “an unprecedented integration of the U.S. and Israeli military industrial complexes,” by creating “an executive agent within the Department of Defense whose sole responsibility is furthering U.S. and Israeli military tech integration across nearly every facet of the defense process.” This article also notes that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described this shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship as ‘my plan.'” However, House leadership is not backing this commonsense, bipartisan amendment. In a letter, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he would vote against the amendment, calling it “overly broad” and claiming the amendment would “restrict our country's ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region who are sworn enemies of both the United States and Israel,” per the Times of Israel. However, Jeffries pledged not to whip votes against the amendment and indeed the House Minority Whip, Congresswoman Katherine Clark, voted for the amendment as did Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, despite the opposition of Jeffries and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar. The Congressional Progressive Caucus reportedly whipped votes in favor of the amendment.* In more Israel-related news, this week Marco Rubio – who serves as Secretary of State as well as the acting National Security Advisor – announced that the State Department will launch a “sweeping campaign to dismantle…the International Criminal Court.” CNN observes that “The administration's ire against the ICC goes back to President Donald Trump's first term, when it targeted the ICC for seeking to investigate alleged war crimes committed by US forces in Afghanistan,” and that since taking office for the second time, the Trump administration has “imposed a slew of sanctions against ICC officials for their attempts to investigate the US and Israel.” CNN also quotes a State Department official who said that top officials, including Secretary Rubio and US ambassadors, “are calling countries as part of a campaign to diplomatically isolate the International Criminal Court.” It is worth noting that “all American presidents since the ICC's ratification have maintained that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over Americans,” and that Congress even passed a law calling for an invasion and occupation of the Hague if any American serviceman was ever prosecuted by the ICC, implying that this crackdown on the court is not about American sovereignty at all but rather the prosecution of Israeli officials for their war crimes in Gaza.* In another stunning story starring Marco Rubio, the New York Times reports the Secretary of State is functionally “running Venezuela from afar.” The Times story characterizes Rubio's position as the “de facto viceroy of Venezuela,” effectively controlling the country's “finances, the distribution of its natural resources and its government.” This story makes clear that while Delcy Rodríguez, the former Vice President of Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro, nominally occupies the presidency, Rubio is the one really calling the shots, with Rubio setting the conditions on what Venezuela's export revenue “can be spent on, and by whom,” and having the authority to approve or deny key governmental appointments in the country, such as the minister of defense. In short, the United States has established a shocking explicitly neo-colonial regime in the country, fulfilling the gravest prognostications of anti-imperialist critics of American intervention in the Bolivarian Republic.* Closer to home, Bloomberg reports the federal government has officially launched a grand jury investigation into the United Auto Workers and the union's outspoken president, Shawn Fain. The investigation stems from accusations made by the union's Vice President, Rich Boyer, who alleged that Fain used his position to secure benefits for his fiancée and her sister – and when Boyer refused to approve the benefits, Fain retaliated by stripping Boyer of his duties as chief negotiator with Stellantis NV. Fain has called the allegations “false” and is accusing Boyer of seeking to influence the upcoming UAW leadership election. Fain also claims that Boyer is the one retaliating after Fain “refused the vice president's request to hire family members to positions in the union.” Fain has long maintained that the Justice Department, and specifically the DOJ-appointed monitor, Neil Barofsky, has a political grudge against him because “the UAW took an anti-war stance about what was happening in Gaza.” According to Bloomberg, “Both Fain and Boyer have slates running and each is accusing the other of attempting to abuse their positions to benefit family.”* This week, another victim of harassment by the federal government, student activist Mahmoud Khalil, filed a landmark civil rights suit alleging that the government conspired with a number of private groups – including the Heritage Foundation, Betar, and Canary Mission – to “suppress criticism of Israel through a coordinated campaign to dox, jail and ultimately deport student activists.” According to the lawsuit, said activists were “nearly automatically targeted by the Federal Defendants for arrest and removal.” Khalil's lawyers argue that this “public-private partnership” could violate the “Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law that sought to restrict government coordination with vigilante groups.” The suit is led by the Center for Constitutional Rights. The AP reports “Soon after his arrest, both Canary Mission and Betar boasted of their role in flagging Khalil's noncitizen status to the government.” Since Khalil's arrest, Betar has agreed to “dissolve its nonprofit status,” following a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James accusing Betar's members of harassing Palestinians.* Turning to the state level, this week 12 state attorneys general, led by California's Rob Bonta, filed an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance, controlled by the Trump-aligned David Ellison. The proposed, $110 billion merger was approved by the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department last month, which reached the dubious conclusion that the merger is “not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers.” In the filing, Bonta and the state AGs for Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Washington allege that the merger “would extinguish competition between Paramount and Warner Bros. and inflict substantial harm on movie theatres, basic cable distributors, and, ultimately, audiences nationwide.” This from Reason.* In the world of philanthropy, CNBC reports Warren Buffett, the billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has “excluded the Gates Foundation from his sizable annual charitable donations.” As this report notes, the Gates Foundation has been among the top recipients of his annual Berkshire donations, totaling $47 billion worth of Berkshire stock since 2006. The reason for the exclusion of the Gates Foundation has been much speculated upon, in particular, whether it was due to the recent revelations about Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Asked about this, Buffett said that he had “read a great deal…in terms of what happened, with Bill and Epstein,” calling their relationship “distasteful,” but also saying that he “found nothing in there that was beyond what [he] could picture [himself] doing.” Instead of the Gates Foundation, all of this year's donations will go to foundations linked to the Buffett family.* Finally, British multinational diamond conglomerate De Beers, famous for coining the “A Diamond is Forever” tagline in 1947, reported this week that they plan to halt work at their “flagship” Venetia mine in South Africa as demand for the stones wanes. The BBC highlights both slackening consumer demand as well as competition from lab-grown diamonds, particularly those produced in China. That said, the closing of the Venetia mine – the biggest in South Africa, accounting for over 40% of the country's diamond production – will send shockwaves through that country's already shaky economy. That mine alone employs more than 4,000 people, while the mining sector employs nearly half a million. De Beers said they plan to reopen the mine in two years; in the meantime, they are looking to expand copper mining to keep up with demand from AI data centers.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Warren Buffett left the Gates Foundation out of his annual charitable donations for the first time, directing roughly $6 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock instead to four foundations connected to his family. The omission followed renewed disclosures about Bill Gates' meetings and correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. Buffett also accelerated his broader estate plans, announcing that his remaining Berkshire shares, valued at nearly $146 billion, will be donated to those four foundations by December 31, 2034. The Gates Foundation has received most of Buffett's previous charitable giving, totaling more than $61 billion since 2006.Buffett and Gates were once exceptionally close, but Buffett said they had not spoken for months following the release of additional Epstein-related documents in late 2025. Gates has denied knowing about Epstein's crimes and has not been accused of wrongdoing, maintaining that he met Epstein because he believed the financier could help raise money for charitable projects. The Gates Foundation has hired an outside reviewer to examine its past engagement with Epstein and its procedures for vetting potential partners. Buffett declined to directly judge Gates' conduct, but said he wanted to avoid involvement in anything that might later become the subject of an investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Warren Buffett omits annual donation to Bill Gates' foundation after his Epstein ties were disclosed - ABC News

I launched the Heterodox Jewish Woman substack in February 2024 primarily to share my work on the gender issue as this affects Judaism. Quickly the focus broadened to include broader issues such as the tensions between liberalism and identity and the challenges of multiculturalism. I intended to edit and make fully public my series of lectures from 2022 and 2023 on the challenges of trans inclusion in halachah (Jewish law). Quickly, however, my professional life became consumed by a very different challenge: that of a very inappropriate Religious Education syllabus that was being rammed through the six local authorities in Berkshire in the autumn of 2024. These proposals included (1) not referring to religions but only to “religious worldviews” (2) introducing classroom activities in which children were encouraged to rank beliefs about life after death based on how “likely” they were and (3) editing out the word Israel shortly before the syllabus was due for a final vote. You may remember my post about this matter at the time. The issues involved were intriguingly similar to those in the gender debate: A postmodern critique of the concept of “world religions” as well-defined belief systems had led to the introduction of the new more “inclusive” concept of a “worldview” which, ironically, led to an excessive focus on religions as belief systems (views), meaning that Judaism (which is not a belief system) could not be taught authentically.Fortunately, the joint efforts of a coalition of Jews and Hindus succeeded in forcing a revision of that syllabus across several local authorities. Supporting that process and the aftermath has consumed my life ever since, and I have ended up catapulted into an (unofficial) leadership position in the RE community, something I could never have foreseen!Religious Education in the UK has now become the overwhelming focus of my professional life to the neglect of this page. I have come to realise that, if Jews in the UK are to have a future, this depends on us being understood by those we live with. The UK is unique in the English-speaking world, and also unique among countries with a significant Jewish community. Here we have, built into our school curricula, the principle that children should learn about the religions around them. The potential for high-quality Judaism teaching in non-Jewish schools to act as a preventative against antisemitism in the UK is therefore massive: a gift that we neglect at our peril, given the risks we face as a community. As I explained previously on this page, good RE can be far more effective at addressing hatred than typical “diversity training”, which is often ineffective or even counterproductive. However, we have to contend with “experts” in RE who believe that they understand Judaism when they do not and who tend to determine how Judaism is taught. This issue dwarfs all others as something for which I can personally make a real difference, and it has become the all-consuming focus of my life. Currently, the UK sits at a crossroads. For decades, RE has been a statutory subject in UK schools, but yet not part of the National Curriculum that guides teaching in all other statutory subjects. Instead, each local authority has determined its own RE syllabus by holding an Agreed Syllabus Conference (ASC) approximately every five years. Thus, the proposed syllabus in Berkshire that I helped to challenge and amend in 2024-2025.However, in November 2025, a momentous decision was made by the current UK Government, to explore bringing RE into the National Syllabus for the first time. This decision is widely seen as necessary, since with the rise of academy trusts, many schools now are not under the auspices of any local authority and therefore have no statutory RE syllabus at all. Some schools use this freedom to be creative and teach RE well, but practice is variable. Moreover, many local authorities struggle to find minority faith representatives to attend an ASC, or to sit on the associated SACRE (Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education). The quality of Judaism teaching is therefore highly variable and often driven by national RE advising companies and bodies, with Judaism lessons and learning objectives typically produced by non-Jews. This leads to distorted teaching, and distorted priorities. Notwithstanding the positives, a potential national curriculum in RE is also fraught with dangers. Will Judaism get the attention it deserves? Who will write specifications for the teaching of Judaism? We cannot assume that it will be those most qualified to do this job. The individuals who wrote the problematic Berkshire syllabus that we challenged are now in high positions in the RE community, and we must assume that their views have not changed. We must face up to the real possibility that the same sorts of mistakes that were attempted in Berkshire could occur on the national level, making authentic teaching of Judaism to non-Jewish children difficult.Thus, in November 2025, in order to make sure that any national Judaism specification would be written by those who are qualified to produce it, I reached out to other Jews who work in RE. The outcome is the Association of Jewish Religious Education Professionals (AJREP.UK), which I now “coordinate”. AJREP brings together two types of people: (1) those who, like me, teach Judaism in non-Jewish schools or assist such teaching, but who are not currently classroom teachers and (2) Jewish RE teachers in non-Jewish schools (not Jewish studies teachers). We need both types of people as they bring different skills to the table. Coming back to the broader RE world, from December 2025 through March 2026 a process known as sector engagement took place to explore whether consensus could be reached on a general framework for a national syllabus for RE. This was managed by an Expert Advisory Group (EAG) led by Vanessa Ogden CBE. Various groups were included in these conversations, and with some difficulty, AJREP was able to have it's voice heard. This resulted in “Draft Programmes of Study”, a short document which was presented by the EAG to the Secretary of State for Education at the end of March. Then on July 3, the UK Government responded to the Draft Programmes of Study (still unpublished), announcing that a public consultation on RE in the national syllabus will commence in September. You can find the response of AJREP here. So we stand now on the threshold of this national consultation, which may very well lead to a national syllabus in RE: a true watershed moment for the discipline. My focus now is to lead AJREP to advise on that process, hopefully producing a national content standard for the teaching of Judaism in RE, and then campaigning to have this standard adopted. I do not anticipate that this will be easy, as we will have to counter those who have their own external agendas related to Judaism.Which brings me back to the new Substack Judaism Religious Education which I have launched, in collaboration with my husband and business partner, Rabbi Zvi Solomons. For the foreseeable future, I will be posting (almost) exclusively there, providing (1) guidance for RE teachers and advisors on what Judaism is and how it should be taught (2) reviews of Judaism teaching materials, so that teachers and advisors know which to use and which to avoid (3) interviews with experts on RE Judaism (4) analytical pieces on RE more generally and how this affects the teaching of Judaism, including how Judaism is related to other ethnoreligions such as Hinduism and Sikhi and (5) Judaism content that could potentially be used in the classroom or in training RE teachers.For the moment, I will be cross-posting these materials onto this page, but that will be temporary.

I do still plan publish my Gender in Halachah series at some point, although my views on that issue have shifted since.

Gates has denied knowing about Epstein's crimes and has not been accused of wrongdoing, maintaining that he met Epstein because he believed the financier could help raise money for charitable projects. The Gates Foundation has hired an outside reviewer to examine its past engagement with Epstein and its procedures for vetting potential partners. Buffett declined to directly judge Gates' conduct, but said he wanted to avoid involvement in anything that might later become the subject of an investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Warren Buffett omits annual donation to Bill Gates' foundation after his Epstein ties were disclosed - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Jay Woods, chief market strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, says that the market has a "Janet Jackson - What Have You Done for Me Lately" attitude, which has made earnings cycles particularly volatile, and he thinks that will be amplified with the earnings on tap right now powering market moves, especially around market misses. While he believes earnings will be strong, he warns in the Market Call that "prices may not follow them," particularly as the market enters its slowest time of the year around a mid-term election cycle. Woods says that the stock market has seen a healthy rotation, but he expects a pullback before a year-end rally; in the meantime, he warns against chasing rallies. Adam Mead of Mead Capital Management and Watchlist Investing — author of "The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway" — talks about the evolution of legendary investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, how the company they ran is changing with Buffett's retirement and the legacy they will; have in the decades ahead. The new edition of the book was inspired after Mead saw Buffett at Berkshire's annual meeting after the nonagenarian announced his retirement. Plus, Chuck answers a listener's question about hiring a financial adviser and whether working with the brand-name firm that has renewed its nationwide advertising blitz on television would be all that it's cracked up to be. (Spoiler alert: Not exactly.)

JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo: het cijferseizoen begint met vuurwerk. De Amerikaanse grootbanken verpletteren de verwachtingen. JP Morgan noteert zelfs met 21 miljard dollar de hoogste winst ooit voor de bank. Maar toch is één bank niet zo vrolijk. Ondanks een prachtig kwartaal waarschuwt Bank of America voor té enthousiaste beleggers. Waar komt dat recordkwartaal vandaan? En wat moet je nou doen met die waarschuwing? Deze aflevering zoeken we het voor je uit. Verder hebben we het over dé overnamedeal van het afgelopen halfjaar. Die van Warner Brothers Discovery door Paramount Skydance. De deal dreigt alsnog in het water te vallen, nu 12 Amerikaanse staten er bezwaar tegen hebben. Ze starten een rechtszaak omdat ze bang zijn dat klanten, bioscopen én distributeurs benadeeld worden door de overname. Je hoort ook nog over het drama bij tech-ancienne IBM. Daar verdampt een kwart van de waarde na een tegenvallend cijferrapport. En je komt erachter wat het geheim is van de 16-jarige die beter belegt dan jij.

Find me on Substack, search for my name.Robert P. Miles is an author, educator, and the world's foremost authority on Berkshire Hathaway's management culture. Robert has written three bestselling books on Warren Buffett, created the only graduate MBA course dedicated to Buffett's philosophies, and founded the Value Investor Conference in Omaha. His journey from an entrepreneur to a globally recognized Buffett scholar began with a single Berkshire annual meeting in 1996 — and Warren Buffett himself has been paying attention ever since.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal that gives investors instant access to twenty years of financials, earnings transcripts, and extensive segment and KPI data—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/Notes:3:00 – Bob Miles is introduced as the world's foremost Berkshire Hathaway culture scholar, author of three (now four) bestselling Buffett books and creator of the only graduate MBA course on Buffett's philosophies.5:30 – His path began with Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich and a failed high school "movie day" venture. The lesson that stuck: "you got to understand what business you're in."7:23 – His first 1996 annual meeting: Buffett tells a small shareholder, "between you and I we own half the company," and calls Wall Street "the legal pickpocket of the average investor."14:24 – The Dairy Queen story: a self-published "101 Reasons to Own Berkshire Hathaway," a line around the block, and Buffett walking through the door — leading to a two-book deal with Wiley.31:18 – On concentration: Buffett put 65% of his $20,000 net worth into Geico at 19, tied to his "star player" basketball analogy for conviction investing.36:41 – The three unchanging lessons of The Intelligent Investor — stocks are businesses, your partner is a manic-depressive Mr. Market, and margin of safety — because "principles are principles because they don't change."42:59 – A contrarian aside: private equity "has done more harm than good," with the Berkshire system as its inversion.53:43 – On Berkshire's real edge: "I see the moat as cash," the roughly $400 billion war chest that lets Ajit Jain write insurance the day after disasters strike.1:08:58 – On character over credentials: concentrating on admirable traits "there's no cost," regardless of background.1:10:34 – Miles' definition of success: stay humble enough to be taught, and "go to bed a little bit smarter" every day.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

Story of the Week (DR):Social Media's 'Big Tobacco Moment': Meta Faces $1.4 Trillion Fine for Allegedly Fueling Teen Suicide and AddictionMeta is being sued by 33 US states, led by California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey.12 blue/12 red/9 purpleThe states allege that Meta deliberately designed Facebook and Instagram to be addictive to children and teens, fueling a youth mental health crisis (including anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide).They also accuse Meta of violating child privacy laws by collecting data from children under 13 without parental consent.Meta warned a federal court that it could face up to $1.4T in penalties if the states prevail at the upcoming trial (set for August 18, 2026). Meta extrapolated this massive figure—which is roughly equivalent to the company's entire stock market value—based on the methodology proposed by the lead states for calculating damages.Meta calls the penalty "outlandish" and "unsubstantiated," arguing it has no precedent in consumer protection history: 'A sanction of that size has no analog in the history of consumer protection enforcement.' The company accuses the states of improperly multiplying penalties (e.g., stacking fines based on daily usage time). Meta denies the allegations, asserting its platforms have extensive safety tools and that the claims are unmoored from actual unfair practices.‘I Don't Think I'm Ever Going to Stop,' Says Mark Zuckerberg. Even With 'Infinite Money,' He Has No Plans to Retreat to His Massive Hawaii EstateMeta found to breach EU laws with 'addictive' Instagram, Facebook designsInstagram and Facebook's “addictive” designs have put Meta in breach of the European Union's digital laws, the EU concluded Friday in a preliminary report.The tech giant violated the EU's Digital Services Act by failing to adequately consider the risks associated with design features that affected the physical well-being of its users, including minors and vulnerable adults, the European Commission said.These features include infinite scroll, which constantly shows fresh content, autoplay, push notifications and highly personalized recommendation systems — feeding users' compulsion to continue using platforms and putting them into “autopilot mode.”The EU Commission also accused Meta of ignoring available information about how much time young people are spending on Instagram or Facebook at night, and how different types of content formats, from reels to stories, could lead to excessive use of its services.Meta said, “We disagree with these preliminary findings.”New Zealand Moves To Ban Climate Change Litigation.

Are you doing enough to protect your trucking business from the massive surge in identity theft and cargo fraud? What happens when carrier vetting software fails to spot a sophisticated scam? Today's episode with Cam Pechia gets frank about the terrifying reality of identity theft in the trucking industry!

With Eugenie taking a well-deserved break, Marcus Fernandez is joined by Dion Tabrett and Mike Bridger for an open discussion on some of the most common myths and misconceptions in homeopathy. Drawing on their clinical experience, they explore topics such as antidoting remedies with coffee or menthol, the use of single versus multiple remedies, and why potency selection is often about fine-tuning rather than strength. The conversation highlights the highly individual nature of homeopathic treatment and challenges many of the rigid rules that have persisted over the years. They also reflect on aggravations, the importance of practitioner experience in complex cases, and their perspectives on machine-made and pharmacy-made remedies. Episode Highlights: 02:59 - The Coffee and Mint Myth 05:50 - Individuality in Homeopathy 09:09 - What Are Your Remedy No-Nos? 11:53 - Machine-Made vs. Pharmacy Remedies 19:13 - Can Homeopathy Cause Harm? 27:41 - One Remedy at a Time? 30:44 - Not Every Case Is One Remedy 33:46 - Potency Considerations 35:59 - Potency Is Fine Tuning 39:19 - The Flexibility of LM Prescribing 41:53 - All She Had Was 6C 44:13 - Beyond Allopathic Thinking About my Guests: Dion Tabrett, MCH, MSc, is a British homeopath, educator, and author who graduated from the London College of Homoeopathy in 1992 and earned the Member of the College of Homoeopathy (MCH) qualification in 1994. He later obtained a BSc (Hons) in Natural Sciences and an MSc in Molecular Biology from the Open University, with studies focused on human anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Over his career, he has run clinics in Berkshire, Cornwall, Devon, London, and Bristol, and has taught undergraduate and postgraduate homeopathy in the UK and internationally, including in Ireland, Istanbul, and New York. Tabrett is known for his work in case analysis, materia medica, and organopathic medicine, and is the author of the 2017 book Burnett Rediscovered, which explores the clinical strategies and prescribing methods of the classical homeopath James Compton Burnett. Mike Bridger has been practising homeopathy for over 35 years and teaching for almost as long.

Prosus draait financieel goed. Ook als je het belang in Tencent weg laat. Dan zijn omzet en winst met dubbele cijfers gestegen op jaarbasis. En Prosus deelt uit met een dividend dat 40 procent stijgt. Toch er is ook een 'maar': Just Eat Takeaway. Voor dik 4 miljard euro gekocht, maar het stelt teleur. De omzet daalt namelijk met 6 procent op jaarbasis. Zelf maakt Prosus zich geen zorgen: ze beloven binnen een jaar (met kunstmatige intelligentie) de omzet te laten stijgen. Deze aflevering kijken we of ze dat wel kunnen waarmaken. Hebben we het ook over het vertrek van de cfo van Alfen.

Brad Griffin owns Griffin Tire and Auto, with two locations in Charlotte, North Carolina. His family has done business in Charlotte since 1961, the Berkshire location has operated since 1989, and Brad is the third generation around the business. The shops have shifted toward commercial and fleet accounts while continuing to serve retail customers.Brad has made his shops competitive on tire pricing to bring customers back for higher-profit repair and maintenance work, an approach built on customer retention through tire sales. He emphasizes a team, from the counter to the technicians, who can hold a knowledgeable conversation with any customer.In this episode…The oil change is no longer the hook. Intervals have stretched so far that the dependable three-month visit is gone, and the shops that built their traffic on it are watching customers drift to whoever they pass next. Brad makes a sharper play: tires and rotations now do the work the oil change used to do, bringing drivers back on a schedule you can count on.The tension lives in the pricing. Charge what the market expects and you protect margin but lose the relationship. Sharpen the pencil on tires and you trade a little short-term profit for a customer who returns for years of repair and maintenance work. Brad lays out the math that decides which side of that line a shop lands on, plus the staffing, sourcing, and trust decisions that hold the whole model together.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [03:07] Brad's background and the family path into the business[05:25] Going to market with tires as the new loss leader[06:46] Staffing and training technicians in a tight labor market[08:26] Choosing tire brands and reading customer value[15:06] How tires build the relationship that drives repair work[17:26] Selling "happy" versus running a need-based business[21:40] Customer-first service against the big-box model[23:58] Tariffs, parts sourcing, and the Right to Repair Act[30:05] Closing philosophy on people and customer educationResources mentioned in this episode:Brad Griffin on LinkedInGriffin Tire & Auto WebsiteTread PartnersGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction Podcast WebsiteMike Edge on LinkedInQuotable Moments:"The best tire is the one that fills the need of the customer and provides a profit to us.""We joke that we're the dentist that you can't feel.""The tire seems to be the easiest way to show value, because, quite frankly, most people don't know enough about their cars to understand the repairs.""Focus on taking care of the customer, value their dollar, value their time.""Everybody who walks through those doors doesn't come because they have to, they come because they want to."Action Steps:Audit your current loss leader this week and rebuild customer retention through tire sales by pricing tires and rotations to pull drivers back on a predictable schedule.Stop quoting premium brands your volume cannot support; stock a strong tier-two or tier-three line with a comparable mileage warranty and sell it on dollars-per-mile value.Run the used-versus-new math for a customer at the counter tomorrow to show why a cheaper used tire often costs more per mile than a new one.Coach every person from the counter to the bay to explain a repair in plain terms, since that conversation is what earns the next visit.Track repeat-visit rate by customer, not just ticket average, and make protecting the customer's time the metric your team manages to.
What really happened in the Berkshires on Labor Day weekend in 1969? This week, we explore one of the most unsettling UFO cases ever featured on Unsolved Mysteries. Multiple witnesses across western Massachusetts reported seeing the same strange object in the sky, and for some the encounters went far beyond a simple sighting. We dig into personal accounts of missing time, glowing orbs, telepathic messages, paralyzing beams of light, and childhood memories of being aboard a craft that still haunt witnesses more than fifty years later.

Former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested on February 19, 2026 — his 66th birthday — by British police on suspicion of misconduct in public office after authorities began investigating allegations linked to his conduct during his time as a UK trade envoy. Thames Valley Police confirmed they arrested a man in his sixties in Norfolk on those suspicions and were carrying out searches at properties in both Norfolk and Berkshire; under UK procedure the arrested person was not immediately named but the reporting makes clear it was Mountbatten-Windsor. The inquiry stems from documents in the recently released Epstein files suggesting he may have shared confidential government information with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and he remains in custody while the investigation continues.The arrest represents a historic moment as the first senior British royal to be taken into custody in modern times and follows years of public scrutiny over his association with Epstein and prior civil litigation, including a high-profile settlement with accuser Virginia Giuffre. King Charles III responded to the news by affirming that “the law must take its course,” emphasizing cooperation with police, while Giuffre's family welcomed the development as a sign that no one is above the law. The exact legal outcome — whether formal charges will be filed — remains to be seen as the investigation unfolds.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:UK police arrest Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for misconduct in public office | AP NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Berkshire Hathaway is making a major bet on U.S. housing. Warren Buffett's company has agreed to acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison in a deal valued at approximately $8.5 billion, including debt. The move comes at a time when the housing market is still facing elevated mortgage rates, affordability challenges, and slower home sales. So what does Berkshire see that others don't? In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the deal, why analysts believe it could signal a bottom for housing valuations, and what it may mean for homebuilders, real estate investors, and the broader housing market. She also shares insights from industry experts who believe long-term investors are beginning to position themselves for the next phase of the housing cycle.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reportedly facing another layer of police scrutiny, this time over an alleged incident involving a woman at Royal Ascot in 2002. Thames Valley Police are said to be examining that episode as part of a broader look at possible misconduct involving Andrew, including potential sexual misconduct, corruption, and fraud. The alleged incident took place during the high-profile racing festival, where senior royals were present, including Queen Elizabeth II, then-Prince Charles, Prince Edward, and Princess Beatrice. Details remain limited, but one royal commentator cited in the coverage said the woman involved was allegedly a waitress at the event, while Buckingham Palace has maintained that it no longer speaks for Andrew because he is no longer a working royal.The Royal Ascot claim comes as Andrew is already under wider investigative pressure connected to allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein and alleged sex crimes at royal properties. Thames Valley Police previously said a man in his sixties from Norfolk had been arrested on February 19, 2026, on suspicion of misconduct in public office, interviewed under caution, and released under investigation while searches were carried out at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. Police also said they were working with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Crown Prosecution Service as part of what they described as a serious, complex, and sensitive investigation. The broader picture is that Andrew's Epstein-related disgrace is no longer just a reputational collapse or royal family embarrassment; it is now being framed through active police inquiries, potential witnesses, and questions about whether misconduct extended into royal spaces that were once shielded by status, protocol, and institutional silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Former Prince Andrew reportedly faces new probe over 2002 Royal Ascot incident | Fox News

In this episode, we cover several major stories across AI, tech, Berkshire Hathaway, housing, and Canadian banks. We start with Anthropic reportedly moving closer to a potential IPO and what that could mean for the broader AI IPO race. We also break down the latest SpaceX IPO update, including its massive expected valuation and why investors appear to be valuing the company as much more than just a rocket launch business. We then look at Alphabet’s major equity raise and what it says about the rising cost of the AI infrastructure race. From there, we discuss Berkshire Hathaway’s planned acquisition of homebuilder Taylor Morrison and why the deal is notable under Greg Abel’s leadership. Finally, we wrap up with Canadian bank earnings, where results were better than feared, dividends were raised, capital markets helped, and credit remains the key risk to watch over the next few quarters.

Dan Nathan welcomes Notable Capital partner Jeff Richards to discuss how public-market concentration and multiple expansion in mega-cap tech are influencing private-market valuations. Richards explains Notable's evolution from GGV Capital and its investments across AI and software, then argues that AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, citing publicly reported Anthropic run-rate growth and broad “token path” benefits for infrastructure and select software. He highlights cybersecurity as a key beneficiary as agents increase enterprise risk and could drive continued growth for leaders like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto, while noting stretched valuations and advising patience for pullbacks. The conversation covers Google's equity raise and Berkshire's participation, Microsoft's questions beyond Azure, and why Richards recently bought Meta. They address enterprise “sticker shock” for AI usage, the shift to measuring output, SaaS durability vs. internal builds at startups, talent-driven M&A, rising VC interest in robotics, and potential IPO demand for SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI amid signs of frothy market behavior. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

While in Omaha for Berkshire week, Meb hopped on another podcast as a guest. It was a fun one, so we're releasing it here as well. In today's episode, Meb Faber makes the case against home country bias, pointing to Korea's near-triple and Japan's decades-long round trip as reminders that cycles always turn. He explains why shareholder yield tells a truer story than dividends, why there are now more ETFs than stocks, and why tax alpha matters more than chasing returns. To close, Meb reflects on multi-decade compounding — and the mistakes that quietly take investors out of the game.
