The True Cost of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill on Family BusinessIn this episode of Fearless Family Business, Adam critically examines a recent piece of legislation—referred to as Donald Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill'—that entails multi-trillion dollar tax cuts, program cuts, and spending increases. Adam argues that while some may benefit financially in the short term, the bill has dire long-term implications for family businesses and society as a whole. Key points include the exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis through increased immigration enforcement, the enlargement of the federal deficit, and the widening wealth gap. Adam advocates for investment in education, healthcare, and inclusion as essential pathways for sustainable economic prosperity and value creation. The episode underscores the need for family businesses to focus on innovation and long-term legacy rather than short-term gains.00:00 Introduction: The Big Beautiful Bill00:19 Why I Oppose the Bill01:46 Overview of the Legislation03:51 Impact on Social Programs and Defense Spending06:44 Humanitarian Crisis and Immigration Enforcement10:35 Deficit and Fiscal Responsibility22:06 Wealth Gap and Value Creation26:38 Conclusion: A Call to Action for Family Businesses

In Donald Trump's first term, he was furious that people were investigating his connections to Russia—“Russia, Russia, Russia,” he complained. Now, as Trump fulfills a campaign promise of retribution, his Administration has put the Russia “hoax” back into the headlines. They claim to have opened investigations into the former F.B.I. director James Comey and the former C.I.A. director John Brennan. A career C.IA. officer, Brennan served nearly thirty years, holding senior positions under Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama; his tenure included the controversial drone program, as well as the infamous Steele dossier on Trump during the 2016 election. David Remnick speaks with Brennan about why Trump officials are re-investigating old business. Are there real issues, or is this an attempt to direct the news cycle away from Jeffrey Epstein? “I've seen reports in the press that I'm under investigation,” Brennan points out. “But I've not heard anything from the Department of Justice, or the F.B.I., or the C.I.A., or the Office of Director of National Intelligence. No one has contacted me about anything.”

As Gaza faces a continuing man-made famine, the world offers the usual prescriptions: charity drives, global fasting days, diplomatic appeals to Western powers. But are these really solutions?

Is the problem food scarcity or failed leadership? From historic examples of Islamic leadership like Sultan Abdul Majid, to the urgent call for a unified Muslim response, the Sheik redefines what real help looks like.What is the ultimate solution for not only Gaza but all of mankind?

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: “Zoran Mamdani,” the Times writes, “is unleashing a full-scale charm offensive of private meetings, phone calls, and public promises aimed at wooing top party leaders, donors, and activists,” and runs through a list of the meetings that he's taken with influence groups and elected officials. But underneath that, it's a story about the lack of sophistication on the side that considers itself more sophisticated. “In his meetings,” the Times writes, “Mr. Mamdani has surprised some Democrats with his affability and ability to listen to their concerns, perhaps hinting at his willingness to make some concessions.” If you're expressing surprise in July of 2025, that Zoran Mamdani is friendly and a good listener, what you're saying is that your understanding of New York City politics lags considerably behind that of the 573,000 people who voted for him.

Sudanese refugees who have escaped the world's largest humanitarian crisis to Australia are sharing their stories to spread awareness of suffering in their homeland. After more than two years of fighting, the conflict in Sudan has led to famine, ethnic and gender-based violence and the biggest internal displacement crisis on the planet with more than 14 million people forcibly uprooted by fighting. Humanitarian groups and members of the Sudanese diaspora are pleading for help from Australia.

The New Yorker recently published a report from Sudan, headlined “Escape from Khartoum.” The contributor Nicolas Niarchos journeyed for days through a conflict to reach a refugee camp in the Nuba Mountains, where members of the country's minority Black ethnic groups are seeking safety, but remain imperilled by hunger. The territory is “very significant to the Nuba people,” Niarchos explains to David Remnick. “They feel safe being there because they have managed to resist genocide before by hiding in these mountains. And then you start seeing the children with their distended bellies, and you start hearing the stories of the people who fled.” The civil war pits the Sudanese Army against a militia group called the Rapid Support Forces. Once allies in ousting Sudan's former President, the Army and the R.S.F. now occupy different parts of the country, destroying infrastructure in the opposing group's territory, and committing atrocities against civilians: killing, starvation, and widespread, systematic sexual violence. The warring parties are dominated by Sudan's Arabic-speaking majority, and “there's this very, very toxic combination of both supremacist ideology,” Niarchos says, and “giving ‘spoils' to troops instead of paying them.” One of Niarchos's sources, a man named Wanis, recalls an R.S.F. soldier telling him, “If you go to the Nuba Mountains, we'll reach you there. You Nuba, we're supposed to kill you like dogs.”

Meanwhile, humanitarian aid begins to trickle into Gaza and a series of violent, and disputed, events ends in deadly consequences for Palestinian civilians.Yonit and Jonathan discuss all that, and also step back from the frontlines to look at the economic toll of a war that has lasted more than 600 days. They are joined by Dr. Nadine Baudot-Trajtenberg, former deputy governor of the Bank of Israel, for a sobering conversation on the social and financial cost of protracted conflict—borne most heavily by those sent to fight, and those left waiting at home. Dr. Nadine Baudot-Trajtenberg is a leading Israeli economist and former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Israel, where she also served briefly as Acting Governor.
