Podcasts about Frank McCourt

L'Olympique de Marseille n'est pas un club comme les autres. Et cela s'est encore vérifié cette semaine avec des manoeuvres effectuées par Frank McCourt le propriétaire. Démissionnaire, Medhi Benatia est finalement resté avec des pouvoirs renforcés. Dans la balance, le président Pablo Longoria se retrouve un poil déclassé. Dans ce jeu de pouvoir, Habib Beye a débarqué et aura rapidement la pression avec OM - OL et le 8e de finale de Coupe de France début mars. Retour sur cette semaine folle avec Alexandre Jacquin.

Nouveau retournement de situation dans la très chaotique saison de l'OM : démissionnaire dimanche, le directeur du football Medhi Benatia restera finalement en poste jusqu'en fin de saison, sur demande du propriétaire Frank McCourt, alors que le rôle du président Pablo Longoria est considérablement réduit. "Conscient de ses responsabilités vis-à-vis de l'institution, Medhi Benatia a accepté d'étendre son préavis jusqu'au mois de juin et pilotera l'ensemble des activités sportives", a écrit Frank McCourt, propriétaire de l'OM depuis 2016, dans un communiqué. Le texte précise également que le rôle de Longoria va "évoluer vers ses responsabilités institutionnelles, afin de maintenir la représentation de l'OM au sein des instances françaises et notamment européennes". Débrief de ce nouveau coup de théâtre avec Philippe Sanfourche et Hugo Amelin autour de Cédric Chasseur.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

L'OM espérait vivre avec Roberto De Zerbi un cycle de trois ans mais le club et le technicien italien, affaibli par la claque face au PSG (5-0) quelques jours après l'élimination cauchemardesque en Ligue des champions à Bruges ont annoncé dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi la fin de leur collaboration, qui renvoie Marseille à son instabilité quasi-structurelle. "A la suite d'une concertation réunissant l'ensemble des parties prenantes de la direction du club (...) il a été décidé d'opter pour un changement à la tête de l'équipe première", a indiqué le club dans un communiqué publié dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi, à 2h35 du matin, signe que la décision a été actée aux Etats-Unis, le pays du propriétaire Frank McCourt. Désormais, l'OM doit trouver un second souffle pour la réception de Strasbourg samedi (17h) en championnat, où le club pointe à la 4e place. A moins que Pablo Longoria et Mehdi Benatia ne trouvent rapidement un successeur à De Zerbi, l'intérim pourrait être assuré par "Pancho" Abardonado, l'un de ses adjoints, ou par Romain Ferrier, qui est en charge de l'équipe réserve.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Het verbod op TikTok in de Verenigde Staten wordt dinsdag waarschijnlijk opnieuw uitgesteld door president Donald Trump. De bedoeling is dat de Amerikaanse tak van de filmpjesapp in Amerikaanse handen komt, maar één van de potentiële kopers laat aan de BBC weten dat het Witte Huis nog niks heeft laten weten. Het zou de vijfde keer zijn dat het verbod wordt uitgesteld sinds de oorspronkelijke verbodswet van kracht is geworden, op 19 januari dit jaar. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De potentiële koper waar het om gaat is de Amerikaanse miljardair Frank McCourt, die samen met een aantal andere techinvesteerders geïnteresseerd is in een overname van TikTok. 'We wachten gewoon en zien wel wat er gebeurt', zegt McCourt tegen de BBC. 'We hebben het geld opgehaald om het te kopen.' Trump meldde in september dat er een deal was bereikt rondom de verkoop van de Amerikaanse tak van TikTok, maar sinds die aankondiging hebben zowel Trump als de betrokken partijen bij de deal niks meer van zich laten horen. Bovendien hebben TikTok-eigenaar ByteDance en de Chinese overheid de aankondiging van Trump nooit volledig bevestigd. Verder in deze Tech Update: Hoewel we in principe allemaal met onze mobiele telefoon kunnen betalen, kiezen we alsnog het vaakst voor de 'ouderwetse' pinpas in Nederland, blijkt uit onderzoek van Visa See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Candy might fuel the night, but what if Halloween could fuel a child's hope? We sat down with bestselling author Anthony DeStefano to reframe the season through "All Hallows Eve"—the vigil of All Saints Day—and rediscover why praying for the dead, telling honest stories, and bathing kids' imaginations in beauty can turn a “spooky” evening into a path toward joy. Anthony traces the roots of his clear, evocative style back to Pulitzer Prize winner Frank McCourt, then shows how that simplicity serves big ideas: purgatory as final cleansing, mercy that's stronger than sin, and stories that thrill without glamorizing evil.If you've ever wondered how to explain purgatory to a child, how to hold justice and mercy together, or how to reclaim Halloween without losing the fun, this conversation offers a practical, hopeful path. Come for the story; stay for the formation. And if it moves you, share the episode with a friend, subscribe for more thoughtful conversations, and leave a review—your feedback helps more families find a better way to celebrate All Hallows Eve.Here's the link to All Hallows' Eve! Visit Anthony's Website for all his books and moreHere are the links to Jack's Substack and  X https://x.com/JP2RenewalEmail us: info@ jp2renew.org or vist our website: jp2renew.orgSupport the show

President Trump is doubling the number of National Guard troops being deployed to immigration protests in Los Angeles, and adding 700 Marines. There has been a fourth night of protests over the deportation sweeps by federal agents. Rallies on Monday were mostly peaceful after outbreaks of violence over the weekend. For decades, the CDC has enlisted a team to review vaccine safety and effectiveness, as well as recommend who should receive them. On Monday, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. let go of all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, alleging conflicts of interest among committee members in an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal. CBS News medical contributor Dr. Celine Gounder explains the potential impact. The deadline for China-based ByteDance to either sell TikTok's U.S. business or face a nationwide ban is nearing. President Trump has twice extended the deadline, which is now June 19. American billionaire Frank McCourt and his partners are one of several groups organizing bids to take over the app's U.S. operations. Earlier this year, a museum opened in Washington D.C. dedicated to go-go music, a high energy and percussion-heavy genre. CBS News' Jarred Hill shows how the music is connecting to new generations.

This Day in Legal History: National Referendum on ApartheidOn March 17, 1992, South Africa took a decisive step toward dismantling apartheid through a historic national referendum. White South African voters were asked whether they supported the government's efforts to end apartheid and negotiate a new, democratic constitution. An overwhelming 68.7% voted in favor, signaling broad support for ending over four decades of racial segregation. This referendum provided then-President F.W. de Klerk with the political mandate to continue negotiations with the African National Congress (ANC) and other groups. The result was a major victory for the anti-apartheid movement, which had long fought against the country's system of institutionalized racial oppression.The referendum was limited to white voters, who had historically benefited from apartheid, making their approval a crucial moment in South African history. It paved the way for the country's first multiracial elections in 1994, in which Nelson Mandela was elected president. With this, South Africa officially transitioned from an apartheid state to a democracy, enshrining equal rights for all citizens. The vote also marked the beginning of legal reforms that led to the adoption of a new constitution in 1996. While the end of apartheid did not immediately erase economic and social inequalities, the referendum remains a defining moment in the country's legal and political history. It demonstrated that legal systems, even when designed to uphold injustice, can be reformed through democratic means.A federal judge ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) must reinstate probationary employees it had recently terminated. As a result, the agency is bringing back those workers, along with most term employees, and providing them with back pay. However, term employees with more than two years of service were not reinstated. The CFPB had initially fired 70 enforcement attorneys and up to 100 other employees after acting Director Russell Vought took over in February. The judge's decision is part of a broader legal battle over federal workforce reductions, with similar rulings affecting multiple agencies. Despite this setback, the Trump administration remains committed to deep staffing cuts across federal agencies, with reduction plans already submitted to the Office of Personnel Management. The firings had faced opposition from the National Treasury Employees Union, which reached an agreement with the CFPB to pause additional terminations while another court considers an injunction. The reinstatement process has been messy, with workers unsure of their status and vendor contracts disrupted. However, legally mandated CFPB functions, such as consumer response, are being prioritized for restoration.CFPB Brings Back Probationary Employees After Judge's RulingTrump has escalated his attacks on major law firms, this time targeting Paul Weiss, a firm known for representing top financial institutions and engaging in high-profile pro bono work. His executive order directs federal agencies to cut ties with companies that are Paul Weiss clients and suspend the firm's lawyers' security clearances. The move follows similar actions against Perkins Coie and Covington & Burling. Paul Weiss has deep ties to Wall Street, with clients including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Apollo Global Management. Some of these corporate leaders have criticized Trump's tariff policies, potentially influencing his decision to go after the firm.Trump's order highlights Paul Weiss's past work, including its involvement in a lawsuit against the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers over the January 6 Capitol riot. The firm has a long history of civil rights advocacy, from Brown v. Board of Education to LGBTQ+ and voting rights cases. Critics argue Trump's actions are politically motivated, targeting firms with Democratic connections while ignoring their bipartisan donor base. A federal judge previously blocked a similar order against Perkins Coie, and Paul Weiss is expected to mount a strong legal challenge. However, even if the order is overturned, the chilling effect is real—firms risk losing business from clients wary of crossing Trump. Some industry experts believe this could push law firms to unite against political interference, but whether collective action emerges remains uncertain.Trump Fights Paul Weiss as Wall Street Seeks President's EarTrump targets law firm Paul Weiss in order restricting government access | ReutersThe Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan migrants despite a federal judge's order blocking the move. The deportations targeted alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang, whom the administration labeled as “terrorists.” The White House dismissed the court's authority, arguing that a single judge could not override the president's powers on immigration and national security. Judge James Boasberg had ruled that Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to justify the deportations was unlawful, as the law applies only to conflicts “commensurate to war.” Despite this, flights carrying the migrants landed in El Salvador, where President Nayib Bukele publicly mocked the judge's ruling and confirmed the men were being imprisoned.Legal experts, including the ACLU, argue the administration is in open defiance of the court and may have violated constitutional checks and balances. The White House claimed that some migrants had already been deported before the judge's order, but it remains unclear if others were removed afterward. Critics see this as an unprecedented challenge to judicial authority, while Trump defended the deportations, calling the migrants "bad people" and insisting the situation amounted to war. The legal battle over these actions is expected to continue, with calls for the U.S. government to reverse any unlawful removals.Trump administration deports Venezuelans despite court order, says judge has no authorityThe White House is taking an unprecedented role in overseeing the sale of TikTok's U.S. operations, with Vice President JD Vance leading the process. Instead of a traditional investment bank managing the auction, Vance's legal team is directly engaging with bidders and advising on their offers. President Trump has emphasized his control over the sale, claiming multiple groups are interested, while also suggesting the U.S. government could take a 50% stake in TikTok's American assets.The sale process is highly unusual, lacking a defined valuation or clear asset structure, and ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, has shown minimal engagement. Potential buyers, including investors like Frank McCourt and Kevin O'Leary, face an April 5 deadline to reach a deal. However, Beijing's involvement and the possibility that ByteDance could simply shut down TikTok in the U.S. add further uncertainty.While the U.S. government has previously intervened in corporate deals for national security or economic stability reasons, experts question whether TikTok meets such criteria. Trump, who initially sought to ban TikTok, has since acknowledged its role in helping him gain young voters. The app's sale price remains uncertain, largely depending on whether its valuable recommendation algorithm is included. With intense competition among bidders and political interests shaping the process, the outcome remains unpredictable.The White House's unusual role as dealmaker in TikTok sale | ReutersIn a piece I wrote for Forbes this weekend, I lay out what I reckon is the Trump administration's plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration's proposal to eliminate taxes for individuals earning under $150,000 sounds appealing at first but carries severe consequences. Social Security and Medicare rely heavily on payroll taxes, which most workers in this income range pay more than income taxes. If these taxes are removed, the programs will be starved of funding, leading to either massive deficit spending, extreme benefit cuts, or a shift to regressive taxes like sales taxes. The proposal, combined with extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), would disproportionately benefit the wealthy while leaving the middle class to shoulder the remaining tax burden. The TCJA already made corporate tax cuts permanent while setting individual cuts to expire by 2025, favoring the rich. If this new plan moves forward, those earning just above $150,000 could become the last major tax-paying bracket, while state and local taxes would likely rise to compensate. The ultra-wealthy, who benefited the most from previous tax cuts, are unlikely to pick up the slack. Rather than a tax break for workers, the proposal appears to be a backdoor attempt to dismantle entitlement programs. If no one is paying in, no one gets benefits out—a reality Trump's allies don't want to admit.Trump Administration's No Taxes Under $150k Proposal Is A Disaster This is a public episode.

Friend of the show, Howie Mandell is filling in for Jason Alexander. He’s the only man balder than Jason so… it works! Lately, TikTok has been in the news with claims that it’s an arm of the Chinese Government - but with 170 million Americans on the app, is there a danger? Billionaire Frank McCourt thinks this perceived danger can be turned into a positive by using TikTok’s American userbase to supercharge a brand new and improved internet. Really, no really! Frank McCourt, Jr. is a civic entrepreneur and the executive chairman of McCourt Global, a private family company committed to building a better future through real estate, sports, technology, media, and capital investment industries. Additionally, he's the founder of Project Liberty, a far-reaching, $500 million initiative focused on leading a movement of people who want to take back control of their lives in the digital age by reclaiming the internet. Frank also owns the French football club Olympique de Marseille and formerly owned the Los Angeles Dodgers. *** IN THIS EPISODE: How influential are apps like TikTok? The weaponization of social media has empowered mob rule. McCourt founded Project Liberty to take control of our data & privacy. TikTok poses an existential threat? People should have the right to own and sell their own data. Would Howie lose his 11 million followers if Frank buys TikTok? TikTok influencers don’t know who their followers are unlike other platforms. Influencers, not social media platforms should own their followers. The Chinese Government can feed disinformation to 170 million Americans; to get them to believe what the Chinese want them to believe. Mr. Beast, Kevin O’Leary… …and maybe Howie, are joining Project Liberty. But will Byte Dance actually sell U.S. TikTok? Jason returns and has thoughts! *** FOLLOW FRANK: Website (McCourt Global): mccourt.com Website (Project Liberty): projectliberty.io Website (Fix TikTok): thepeoplesbid.com Instagram: @pro_jectliberty X: @pro_jectliberty *** FOLLOW REALLY NO REALLY: www.reallynoreally.com Instagram YouTube TikTok Facebook Threads XSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

American billionaire Frank McCourt wants to buy TikTok in the U.S., with a plan that would rewire the app's addictive qualities and give users more control over their experience and data. We look at the bid — and the case for building a new and improved internet.

Even with a new president, the future of TikTok is still uncertain. One bidder for the app is Project Liberty, which is mounting what it calls a “people's bid” for the ByteDance-owned video-based social media network. If the organization, which was founded by businessman Frank McCourt, is successful, it could place the platform under U.S.-based ownership, satisfying the law that banned TikTok in its current structure. Joining The PR Week podcast this week is Tomicah Tillemann, president of Project Liberty, who explains how a deal could take place, what a new version of TikTok would look like and how his organization wants to get rid of the “neo-feudal framework” of the internet. Plus, the biggest marketing and communications news of the week, including the first briefing from new White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, a Super Bowl marketing preview, Target's decision to pull back diversity, equity and inclusion programs, recent deals and people moves at Shake Shack and Lyft.  Upcoming events!PR pros, it's time to build the future!

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz dives into the complex dynamics of President Donald Trump's recent executive action that delays the ban on TikTok for 75 days. The action was signed on his first day as the 47th president, aiming to provide a window for negotiations that could safeguard national security while keeping TikTok accessible to its 170 million U.S. users. Analytic Dreamz unpacks the Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which mandated the ban unless TikTok is sold to an American or allied entity. We explore the reasons behind the delay, including Trump's concerns about the timing of the law's enforcement just before his inauguration, and his interest in a potential 50-50 joint venture between ByteDance and a U.S. buyer. The segment also covers TikTok's brief 14-hour shutdown, its restoration, and the emotional rollercoaster experienced by influencers like Shay Sullivan. Furthermore, we discuss the resistance from Congress, with Senators Cotton and Ricketts advocating for complete divestiture, and the potential buyers like Frank McCourt and Kevin O'Leary who have stepped forward with significant bids, though without the crucial algorithm. Analytic Dreamz examines the broader implications for TikTok's future, the legal and financial risks for companies involved, and whether this move by Trump was politically strategic. Join us for a thorough analysis of these developments and what they could mean for the tech landscape and user privacy.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
