The host examines the internal struggle within the Democratic Party over their public stance on crime and immigration. Citing a CNN pollster, the host points out that Democrats are alienating voters by defending criminals and advocating for policies like sanctuary cities, leading to a significant drop in their approval ratings on crime. The host plays soundbites from leading Democratic candidates who prioritize protecting "undocumented residents" over citizens, highlighting the growing divide between the party's base and mainstream public opinion. The conversation then transitions to the high-stakes summit in Alaska between the President and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The host argues that the meeting is an attempt to repair a relationship that was damaged by fabricated "Russia collusion" narratives and unwarranted sanctions, which he claims were orchestrated by the deep state and Hillary Clinton's campaign. The host explains that Putin's presence on U.S. soil is a sign of immense trust, and the true purpose of the meeting is a deep-state-free conversation to de-escalate tensions and prevent further conflict

Blake Fitzgerald was just a regular guy from Minnesota—until a side hustle on TikTok turned into a six-figure illegal gambling operation. After dropping out of college and bouncing between jobs, Blake discovered the world of gambling livestreams. Within months, he was pulling in over $100,000 running an underground gambling ring through social media. But the fast money came with heavy consequences. What started as a business turned into an addiction, and eventually, the law caught up with him.

Kat Sandler is an award-winning Canadian playwright, screenwriter and director who's known for her way with words and her wild imagination. She was just a kid when she fell in love with the story of “Anne of Green Gables,” so it was a dream come true when the Stratford Festival — one of the most renowned theatre festivals in North America — asked her to reimagine the story for their 2025 program. Kat joins guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about her acclaimed adaptation of this beloved Canadian story.

It's been a wild week on the legal front for former President Donald Trump and his administration, bringing a cascade of courtroom drama that's anything but routine. Right now, no case seems more pivotal than the hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, where all eleven judges—an extraordinary en banc session—are sizing up whether Trump actually had the authority to impose tariffs on foreign imports without Congress signing off. This stems from the consolidated lawsuits led by V.O.S. Selections and a coalition of twelve states, who claim the tariffs drowned their businesses in costs and snuffed out competition. Lawyers for both sides have traded blows, and judges appear skeptical of the administration's broad assertion of executive power. A permanent injunction has already blocked future tariffs, but Trump's team is fighting hard to overturn it, hoping the appeals court will side with the White House. The stakes here are sky-high, not just for trade policy but potentially for the limits of presidential power.Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, a lawsuit filed last Friday by a battalion of states accuses President Trump of unlawfully targeting gender-affirming care for minors, citing executive actions that closed clinics across California, New York, and Illinois. Hospitals are reportedly halting services in response to Trump's executive order. The coalition is challenging both the lawfulness and constitutionality of these actions, and the case has swept up top federal officials, including Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi.The legal frenzy doesn't stop there. The National Association of the Deaf is suing Trump for axing American Sign Language services during federal briefings. Their case in Washington, D.C. is making waves, demanding interpreters be restored and arguing that removing them violates disability rights and foundational First Amendment protections.Immigration has also burst onto center stage in California, with the Trump administration urgently petitioning the Supreme Court to overturn a federal judge's ban on immigration stops. The judge's order, handed down in Los Angeles, said agents can't detain people solely based on their race or the language they speak. At the core of the dispute is a massive sweep of undocumented immigrants from June, now dubbed the “largest Mass Deportation Operation” in history. Pro-immigrant groups rushed to court, arguing the raids trampled on Fourth Amendment protections. The government, for its part, insists these restrictions threaten immigration enforcement and is hoping the Supreme Court lifts the ban on these operations soon.And for those tracking every legal twist, the Trump Administration Litigation Tracker is following nearly 300 active cases across the nation, from executive orders on birthright citizenship to bans on DEIA initiatives. As rulings drop and appeals climb toward the highest courts, the next few weeks will be decisive.Thanks for tuning in.

At the Datacloud Global Congress 2025 in Cannes, Olivier Micheli, President and CEO of privately held Data4, discussed the group's €21.5 billion (US$24.5 billion) investment pipeline, Europe's digital infrastructure outlook, and the company's positioning amid rising global competition. Micheli acknowledged the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties that have shaped the industry in early 2025 but emphasised that fundamental demand drivers remain strong. “In the last five or six months, the world has changed a lot. It creates uncertainty. Customers sign 10–15-year contracts, and they need certainty,” Micheli said. “However, data volumes continue to double every three years, business cloud is growing, and generative AI is still a strong driver. So, overall, the demand for data centres remains very robust.” Micheli confirmed that Data4's current development programme is backed by a committed €21.5 billion (US$24.5 billion) capital plan, one of the largest among European operators. Roughly €15 billion (US$17.1 billion) of that amount will be invested in France, with the remainder allocated across existing markets including Spain, Italy, Poland, and Greece. “France offers significant competitive advantages. It has available power, low carbon emissions due to nuclear generation, and lower electricity costs compared to Germany or Italy,” Micheli said. “We are focusing our capital on existing markets and building both capacity and resilience.” The company's current rollout includes a 500MW digital hub in the southern Paris region. This comprises the established Paris 1 campus (250MW) and a new Paris 3 site (250MW), forming one of the largest digital clusters in Europe. A separate gigawatt-scale project in northern France is also underway, with construction planned through to the 2030s. Additionally, Micheli addressed the challenges Europe faces in attracting and supporting AI infrastructure, particularly in comparison to North America. “For the training part of generative AI, you need access to cheap and available power. In the US, you get that in one to three years. In many parts of Europe, it takes five to ten years,” he said. “So the AI workloads are going to the US. But Europe still needs infrastructure to support its 500 million citizens.” While AI training workloads may remain in North America, Micheli argued that inference workloads and broader cloud services must reside in Europe to serve local user bases and ensure data compliance. Micheli was cautious about data centres being officially recognised as an “electricity-intensive industry,” which could lead to increased regulation. “The sector is growing faster than others and will be one of the top consumers of power globally,” he said. “We must be careful. If the industry is classified as a utility, it could face heavy regulation — and regulation often limits innovation.” Sustainability remains one of the core pillars of Data4's corporate strategy. Micheli described several initiatives underway to reduce the environmental footprint of the company's operations. A notable innovation is the use of algae farms to absorb CO₂ and reuse waste heat from data centres.  Elsewhere, data sovereignty is emerging as a central issue in Europe's digital agenda. Micheli underlined that a distributed and competitive infrastructure network is essential to support the continent's ambition for digital independence. “Europe must have the best infrastructure across all its markets — not just in one location,” he said. “It's a critical component of sovereignty.” He also noted that as regulatory requirements for data localisation increase, the demand for local infrastructure will only grow — both from public institutions and private sector clients. Asked whether an initial public offering (IPO) was on the horizon, Micheli said Data4 is not currently considering a listing but acknowledged that it could be a longer-term possibility. “At the moment, no — we're in a high-growth phase and need the flexibility to invest,” he said. “Once we are more stabilised, when we're perhaps at €20 or €30 billion market cap, then it may become relevant.” He also commented on the broader industry trend: “A lot of platforms are becoming too large for traditional private equity. Public markets might be the next step to monetise those assets.”

Drawing from over three decades of experience coaching high-stakes deals, my guest on the Sales Reinvented show, Jim Camp Jr., shares how the Camp System helps organizations avoid unnecessary compromise while improving their negotiation outcomes.  He unpacks the key differences between strategy and tactics, reveals his go-to approach for handling emotionally charged negotiations, and explains why internal alignment and embracing problems are critical for successful outcomes. He also discusses the importance of planning, emotional control, and treating your counterpart with respect—even permiting them to say no. Outline of This Episode [05:49] Plan each negotiation, focus on understanding the opponent, modify goals, and respect their right to veto to lower emotions [07:33] Planning provides a systematic approach and emotional edge despite unexpected challenges [10:51] Understand the client's needs, budget, and decision-making process before presenting. [15:29] Don't fear last-minute offers or rejections; they're preferences, not decisions. [17:07] Focus on uncovering the true motivations behind procurement negotiations. [20:44] Focus on addressing the client's vision, budget, decision-making, and challenges for a deal that finalizes naturally. [25:16] Challenge and adapt your sales behavior for improvement. Why Systems Outperform Gut Instincts One major theme Jim emphasizes is the value of a systematic approach. The Camp System of negotiation, developed by Jim Camp Sr., has shaped negotiation successes for decades. Why does systemization matter so much in high-stakes negotiations? It all comes down to emotional control. “The higher the stakes, the more emotional both sides become,” Jim points out. A clear framework keeps you focused, reduces the risk of irrational decision-making, and helps you recover when negotiations veer off course. Key elements include: Framing the right mindset before you enter the negotiation. Methodically planning every meeting and communication. Debriefing after each interaction to assess what worked and what needs adjustment. This careful planning doesn't eliminate surprises, but it ensures you're better equipped to handle them as they arise. Top Negotiation Tactics That Build (Not Break) Trust While Jim pushes back on the idea of “leverage” as a goal, he offers three core tactics that foster trust and effectiveness: Internal Alignment: Before any negotiation starts, make sure your own team is unified in objectives and understands what success looks like. Iterative Planning: Don't treat negotiation as a single event. Plan each conversation with the other party's motivations and decision-making process in mind. Respect the Right to Veto: Openly acknowledge your counterpart's right to say “no.” Paradoxically, this lowers tension, builds trust, and leads to more honest discussions. This approach is not just respectful but also strategic. When clients feel safe to say no, they're less defensive and more open to exploring mutually beneficial solutions. Why Planning and Emotional Control Are Negotiation Superpowers Jim draws on his experience as a military aviator to illustrate the importance of planning under pressure. Whether flying a mission or working triage in an ER, a systematic approach helps teams stay calm when the unexpected happens. Planning isn't just about tactical prep—it's fundamentally about emotional regulation. Knowing what you'll do in a variety of scenarios (“What if they say yes? What if they say no?”) keeps you grounded and flexible. This matters because decisions are made primarily on emotion, rather than logic, in up to 96% of cases, according to Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman. Common Negotiation Pitfalls—and How to Avoid Them Too often, sales professionals jump into demos and presentations before ensuring they're speaking to qualified decision-makers about the real problems. Jim suggests a disciplined approach: We have to uncover what issues or challenges matter most to the client, confirm they have the budget and authority to close a deal, and finally resist the urge to “present” too early—focus first on listening and diagnosing. Aggressive tactics from buyers—like last-minute demands or “take it or leave it” statements—are usually emotional moves, not real decisions. Instead of reacting defensively, seek to understand the underlying reasons for resistance. Four common causes: lack of perceived value, insufficient data, lack of authority, or simple bluffing. Putting the System to Work Jim shares a case study from his own background, of when a large auto dealership shifted from the usual high-pressure sales to a respectful, client-focused system, their sales and referrals soared. Giving clients permission to say “no” and centering the experience around their needs earned the dealership trust and loyalty, resulting in lasting success. Jim is always striving for self-improvement: “Challenge your current behavior. Don't settle for the status quo. Adopt a system, whether it's ours or someone else's, and keep iterating.” By focusing on honesty, respect, and disciplined preparation, sales professionals can elevate negotiation from a dreaded experience to a proud profession—one that benefits both buyers and sellers alike.

A powerful indictment of media bias and political cowardice unfolds in this dual-track exposé. The New York Times is forced to retract a misleading photo of a "starving Gazan child," revealed to have a genetic disorder—not starvation—while simultaneously ignoring a horrific video released by Hamas showing an Israeli hostage, Evyatar David, digging his own grave before being executed. The segment lays bare Hamas's stranglehold over Gaza, including the theft and resale of humanitarian aid meant for civilians. Meanwhile, in South Carolina, the GOP gubernatorial primary heats up as Nancy Mace's bold immigration plan forces the field—including Ralph Norman, Alan Wilson, and Pam Evette—to respond.

This week Nick talks to Lionel Barber.Lionel Barber is a distinguished British journalist best known for his tenure as Editor of the Financial Times from 2005 to 2020, during which he spearheaded its transformation into a globally respected, digital-first news organisation. A graduate of St Edmund Hall, Oxford, he began his career at The Scotsman before moving to The Sunday Times and then joining the FT in 1985, where he held senior roles including Washington correspondent, Brussels bureau chief, news editor, and U.S. managing editor. As editor, he conducted landmark interviews with world leaders such as Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, and Angela Merkel. Barber is the author of The Powerful and the Damned: Private Diaries in Turbulent Times and his latest book Gambling Man: The Wild Ride of Japan's Masayoshi Son, and has been recognised with honours including the Légion d'Honneur, the Stella d'Italia, and the Gerald Loeb Lifetime Achievement Award. He currently serves on several boards, lectures globally on media and geopolitics, and co-hosts the Media Confidential podcast with Alan Rusbridger. Nick and Lionel discuss, Lionel's journey from a newspaper-loving household in Leeds to leading one of the world's most influential publications. Inspired by his journalist father, Barber started his career at The Scotsman and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually serving as foreign correspondent in Washington and Brussels before becoming FT editor in 2005. He shares highlights from his tenure, including interviews with Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and his leadership during the paper's digital transformation. Barber also discusses his latest book, Gambling Man, a biography of Masayoshi Son, the Korean-Japanese entrepreneur behind SoftBank. The book charts Son's remarkable rise from growing up in a marginalised slum to building one of the world's largest investment funds. Barber portrays Son as both a visionary and a calculated risk-taker, whose bold investments in Yahoo, Alibaba, and ARM shaped modern tech finance. He also delves into Son's failures, such as the WeWork debacle, and his ability to bounce back with ambitious plans in AI and global innovation, while still regarded with suspicion by Japan's establishment.Lionel's book choice was:Present at the creation Dean AchesonLionel Music choice was:Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 111 by Ludwig van BeethovenFollow Lionel on his Substack and his podcast - Media Confidential.This content is issued by Zeus Capital Limited (“Zeus”) (Incorporated in England & Wales No. 4417845), which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for designated investment business, (Reg No. 224621) and is a member firm of the London Stock Exchange.
