Join Dave Spencer, Ashley Davis, and Kurt Bardella for a passionate analysis of the political landscape that feels like it's shifting by the hour. In this episode, the trio dives deep into the Garcia immigration controversy dividing Democrats, the market-rattling impact of Trump's tariff policies, and what it means for everyday Americans watching their retirement accounts. Ashley brings her homeland security expertise to explain why Republicans see immigration as a winning issue, while Kurt questions the administration's economic strategy that has CEOs in panic mode.The conversation shifts to the Democratic leadership void, with AOC's surprising rise as a powerful communicator drawing Bernie-sized crowds nationwide. Could she be the party's future, and why are Republicans eager to see her as the 2028 nominee? Plus, don't miss Kurt's fascinating behind-the-scenes take on WrestleMania and how it perfectly explains Trump's political playbook.

There's no way around it: success is hard. It's prized, pursued, endlessly theorized — and yet, remains frustratingly rare. Still, behind many lasting success stories lies a shared set of conditions.This episode explores one such framework: the PIE theory — a framework for understanding what actually endures. Disarmingly simple, quietly complex, and deeply revealing, it offers a lens into the mechanics of long-term achievement. Around it, a set of conversations with five people whose careers are defined less by spectacle than by staying power: Ken Langone, Linda Robinson, Andrew Davis, John Byrne, and Deborah Grubman.No hustle worship. No tidy prescriptions. Just a candid exploration of what long-term success might really require — and what it asks of us.

Ken Langone started a small operation called Home Depot. These days he is a billionaire and major donor to the Trump campaign and Republican Party. He is, like all the rest of us looking on, incredulous, or furious, or in disbelief, or confused. Yesterday for a very brief period, a rumour that appeared to come out of a very small 'X' account and somehow linked to CNBC, swept the market. It said Trump was considering a 90-day pause on the tariffs. The market which had been continuing its downward trajectory, or “tanking” as some people called it, abruptly upped stick and reversed. It surged by about 8%, which is a lot, until it turned out none of it was true. So it fell apart again. As one article suggested, that was an off-ramp for the President. In other words, had the rumour been true and Trump decided it could all be a mistake, the markets would have forgiven him, put it all behind them and we would be on our merry way. But back to Ken. Ken said "I don't understand the goddamn formula". In that, he is not alone. Many of the billionaires who backed Trump don't understand the formula. They also didn't back the idea that Trump would trash the place and yet more of them, mainly headed by the bloke who runs BlackRock, think the US economy is already in recession. If it is in recession Howard Lutnick will need to be rolled out to explain how that happened, given according to Lutnick, it wasn't possible. So once again we ask the simple question – if the brightest people in the room don't understand the "goddamn formula", if Trump's closest allies and supporters don't get it, who does? Or worse, is it possible no one does? Is this thing a runaway train? If it's not a runaway train, is it possible that yet another Trump backer is right when he suggests America is now a global laughing stock? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ken Langone', "I Love Capitalism,"

Cold Spring filmmaker shares hospital history The hour-long documentary, On the Shoulders of Giants: The History of NYU Langone Orthopedics, is not for the squeamish. During extended operating room scenes, doctors slice through body parts and there's blood everywhere. That's nothing compared to the sounds of orthopedic surgery: hammering, grinding, sawing. The camera also lingers on graphic photos, X-rays and descriptions of gruesome injuries. On the flip side, many people will enjoy watching procedures that can improve people's lives. The movie, produced and directed by Cold Spring resident Peter Sanders, will be available for streaming on Tuesday (Aug. 27). Commissioned by the hospital, it earned a nomination this year for best feature film at the Tribeca X festival, which considers marketing and promotional material, but lost to a film created for Ronald McDonald House Charities. With special access, Sanders explored the world of orthopedic surgeons at the historic and influential Hospital for Joint Diseases in Manhattan, renamed in 2006 after a $1 billion gift from Home Depot mogul Ken Langone and other donors. "Orthopedists are a cross between carpenters and artists, making split-second decisions and carving like sculptors," Sanders says. "They're super doctors who can help you walk again and move things around with your hand, stuff we take for granted." Sanders knows this firsthand. Ten years ago, he broke his leg. During treatment, he gave Dr. Kenneth Egol a DVD of his 2014 documentary, Altina, a portrait of Sanders' grandmother, artist Altina Schinasi. Among other accomplishments, she created the "Harlequin" cats-eye eyeglass frames and made a documentary nominated for an Academy Award in 1960. In 2020, the filmmaker shattered his foot in 10 places and visited Dr. Egol again. "He said, 'You should do a documentary on this hospital,' and that became my first commission," says Sanders. "This was solely intended to stream on the hospital website, but I wanted to bring it to a larger audience." Sanders is also credited as director of archival research, which involved digging through museums, libraries and other repositories for photos and other historical material. On-screen, he highlights this gem from an old book: "Treatment is extended to all persons regardless of race, creed or color, suffering with acute or chronic joint diseases, or any deformity, congenital or acquired. Free beds to the poor. No charge for splints or apparatus to the indigent." Founded in 1905, the teaching hospital helped pioneer now-standard procedures such as MRIs, plates and screws for broken bones and hip and other joint replacements. The first female orthopedic surgeon in the country to publish an article in a peer-reviewed journal worked there and teaching doctors at the hospital helped pioneer minimally invasive procedures now grouped under the term sports medicine, including arthroscopic surgery. Like ballplayers, politicians and philosophy professors, orthopedists revere their forebears. One scene in the film unfolds in the hospital's modest historic display, which shares space with a small library of leather-bound books. Another telling moment takes place in the doctor's lounge as they prepare for surgery. "If I have a hard case, there are plenty of shoulders to cry on, although there is no crying in orthopedics - only inside," quips one doctor. "It's good for us to sit here and BS a little bit and discuss cases and discuss life," he says, letting his voice drift and staring off into space as he gets ready to cut someone open. After walking through the tunnel in uniform to take the field, the team restores movement to a man's arm. Sanders and his X-rays make cameos - "my Hitchcock moment," he says. Success with the film led to more commissions crafting shorter works about the institution's people and programs. Orthopedists do amazing things, but if someone is at the hospital for an appointment, something's wrong. "No one ever expects t...

Since it's the 4th of July, we're re-airing an interview we did with Ken Langone, the legendary financier, who helped take a bunch of companies public before co-founding Home Depot. He joined us a few years back to talk about his book, I Love Capitalism!: An American Story, but really it was just a fascinating conversation with a guy who grew up in a working-class family, put himself through school, and after some hard work and smart decisions and a few guardian angels, became one of the most successful businessmen in the country.

There are few people today impacting the future generations of medical professionals to the degree that Ken Langone has with his leadership and contributions to NYU Health.   Ken grew up in a family of little means and worked his way to being one of the richest investors and philanthropists in the United States.   After Ken's business success, he donated $10 million to NYU's MBA program in 1999.  Then in 2008, in support of advancing medical technology and education, Ken gave $200 million to the university's medical center, which was renamed NYU Langone Health, in his honor.  In August 2018 Ken pledged $100 million to its School of Medicine, a donation that effectively made tuition free. Today, Ken sits as the Chair of the Board of Trustees at NYU Langone Medical Center.   In this episode, Ken shares about his contributions to medical advancement and why the work is so important to him, why free market medical research is essential to advancing medical technology, and shares in more discussion with Jim about the importance of relationships and family.     New podcast episodes released weekly on Thursday.

Is the American Dream alive and well? If you asked Ken Langone, he'd certainly say yes.    Ken's grandparents immigrated to the US from Italy, and he grew up in a family that he describes as having “a lot of love, but not a lot of money.” Ken spent time in the US Army and dug ditches for the Long Island Expressway before going to Bucknell University to study economics. After graduation, he began a successful career on Wall Street and earned his MBA at NYU. He then became an early investor and co-founder of The Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer with approximately 500,000 associates and 2,300 stores in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.     After Ken's business success, he donated $10 million to NYU's MBA program in 1999.  Then in 2008, in support of advancing medical technology and education, Ken gave $200 million to the university's medical center, which was renamed NYU Langone Health, in his honor.  In August 2018 Ken pledged $100 million to its School of Medicine, a donation that effectively made tuition-free. Today, Ken sits as the Chair of the Board of Trustees at NYU Langone Medical Center.   In this episode, Ken and Jim focus on relationships, covering everything from parenting and affection to building better connections in the workplace and of course touch on that entrepreneurial spirit at the core of both Ken and Jim's careers.     New podcast episodes released weekly on Thursday.

Gonzo Wall Street: RIOTS,RADICALS,RACISM AND REVOLUTION: How the Go-Go Bankers of the 1960s Crashed the Financial System and Bamboozled Washington by Richard E. Farley The long-hidden history of how the corrupt Wall Street investment banks of the 1960s held Congress over a barrel and got an outrageous taxpayer-funded bailout of what they owed their customers—and how little Congress and the SEC got from Wall Street in return. This set the precedent for the bailouts of the 2008 Financial Crisis—and the next Wall Street bailout. A story of corruption and financial malfeasance, it unfolds throughout the tumultuous 1960s, during the administrations of Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon with a surprising cast of famous and infamous characters playing roles: Abbie Hoffman, Roy Cohn, Ross Perot, Donald Regan, Michael Bloomberg, Felix Rohaytn, Sandy Weill, Ken Langone, and many others. In the 1960s, the fabric of American society was torn apart by deep divisions over the Vietnam War, violence in our cities, and the senseless assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert Kennedy. Civil rights, as well as women's and gay liberation movements, were challenging America. Music, literature, fashion, and “substances” were transforming the culture and upending conventional morality and manners. The public, the media, and politicians, preoccupied with these dramatic changes, paid little attention to Wall Street, where a crisis was brewing that would cause more investment banks to fail than during the Great Depression. The year 1968 should have been the best of times on Wall Street. It was the greatest bull market since the Roaring '20s. The Dow was breaking records. Trading volume was exploding. A hot IPO market for high-flying technology companies was defying gravity. And a swashbuckling mergers and acquisitions wave was generating enormous profits. Despite how flush Wall Street firms looked to outsiders, in truth, they were not a thundering herd but one in need of culling. Hidden from view was the fact that many of the best-known firms on Wall Street were in very precarious financial positions. Rather than investing in desperately needed state-of-the-art computer systems, the executives of these firms overpaid themselves, leaving them overextended and overleveraged. When business exploded in 1968, they were so overwhelmed by the stacks of stock certificates piled from floor to ceiling that their antiquated back offices were unable to process them. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), under the oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), was the principal regulator of the Wall Street firms at the time. The NYSE still had many of the vestiges of the private club it was prior to the Depression-era laws that created the SEC and brought Wall Street under the control of the federal government. The NYSE even referred to itself as the “Club,” controlled by an old guard of firms that were among the most overleveraged. Through means legal, and likely illegal, this old guard kept many insolvent firms open while keeping the SEC and Congress in the dark until it was too late. With a systemic financial crisis at hand, the boom turned to bust and they went, hat in hand, to Washington for a bailout. This is the long-hidden history of how the Wall Street investment banks held Congress over a barrel and got a taxpayer-funded guarantee of what they owed their customers—and how little Congress and the SEC got from Wall Street in return. More than anything else, this set the precedent for the bailouts of the 2008 Financial Crisis—and the next Wall Street bailout. In a story that unfolds throughout the tumultuous 1960s, during the administrations of Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, a surprising cast of famous and infamous characters play roles: Abbie Hoffman, Roy Cohn, Ross Perot, Donald Regan, Michael Bloomberg, Felix Rohaytn, Sandy Weill, Ken Langone, and many others.

Jim Cramer is at his new home base at the New York Stock Exchange, but he's still working to help investors navigate the market and manage their portfolios in an uncertain environment. Then, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon joins Cramer to talk about the company's earnings after reporting a top and bottom-line beat. Next, as Cramer reflects on his new start, he's taking a moment to highlight some of the best performing stocks in the S&P since Mad Money began in 2005. Plus, Cramer's exclusive with Ken Langone.

Today's guest is really special. He's a person I love with all my heart and who's been a mentor of mine for several years. He's Ken Langone, the Cofounder of The Home Depot and Chairman of NYU Langone Health.  Now, here's a guy who's had more success than you could ever imagine in almost every way you could think about it. He's the most popular guest host of Squawk Box. He's sought out on every major issue by the media. He's even been featured on 60 Minutes for his breakthrough thinking at NYU Langone Health. He's an incredible business leader and a renowned philanthropist.  And one thing will be absolutely clear when you listen to this conversation. The reason why he's had so much success is his deep down belief in the power of people. There's no doubt Ken believes that you have to recognize people, recognize talent, believe in them and show up for the people you have the privilege to lead.

We're kicking off the week with a super-sized Squawk Pod!  Three big interviews that all start with the key question Wall Street is asking: how bad is the impact of 2022's high energy prices? Becky Quick and Brian Sullivan weigh the influence higher gas prices have on the stock market, and G7 leaders convene in Germany to discuss additional Ukraine support and new sanctions that include a proposal to cap the price of Russian oil exports. Goldman Sachs' Jeff Currie says a brief pullback in global energy prices signals a buying opportunity for investors.  Noted tech investor John Doerr has a legendary track record – he was an early back of both Google and Amazon – and today, he calls the shift away from fossil fuels a revolution that rivals the creation of the Internet. Andrew Ross Sorkin catches up with Doerr at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado.  NBCUniversal News Group is the media partner of the Aspen Ideas Festival. Plus, Home Depot co-founder and billionaire Ken Langone joins Squawk Box for a special interview that covers inflation, divisiveness and the complicated balancing act of policy and politics.  In this episode:Jeff Currie, @goldmansachs John Doerr, @johndoerrBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickAndrew Ross Sorkin, @AndrewrsorkinBrian Sullivan, @SullyCNBCZach Vallese, @ZachVallese

The elephants need to come up with something, where are your moon shots? Ken Langone interview. Inflation check. G7 hot air.

What would you do if you had a billion dollars? You may have a good idea, but if you don't, looking to the example of Leon Cooperman wouldn't be a bad start. After a lengthy, successful career at Goldman Sachs and running his own wealth management company, Leon Cooperman has focused his attention on philanthropy, making daily decisions to benefit the lives of others. In this episode, Cooperman and I discuss how his career and philanthropic efforts illuminate the value of billionaires to society.

Billionaire investor Ken Langone and Larry Bossidy, former Honeywell CEO, speak about the RADical Hope Foundation, their effort to reach young people struggling with mental health. The two united after Bossidy's grandson Chris Martin, a Gonzaga University student, died by suicide aged 20. Bossidy first discussed the tragedy in a moving 2018 Squawk Box appearance, that caught guest William Shatner by surprise. RADical Hope's new program -- RADical Health, being pioneered at NYU -- encourages students, parents and college communities to talk openly about mental health and teaches freshmen the skills to “stay well and resilient.”  Plus, only on Squawk Pod, Joe Kernen reflects on what talking about mental health means for a proud college dad. To find out more, visit https://radicalhopefoundation.org/If you or someone you know needs immediate help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800.273.TALK (8255) or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.In this episode:Ken LangoneLarry Bossidy, @RADICALHOPE_FdnJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie

Hi guys, and welcome to the Money podcast! When I was born back in 1955, the median house price was around $11,000. Today, it's about $330,000. When I got my learner's license in 1970, the median price of a new car was $3,500. Today? $41,000. When my father was born, the average annual household income was $3,300. Today it's about $70,000. These are all examples of inflation; the erosion of the purchasing power of the dollar. Ignore it at your peril, especially if you're anywhere near retirement age, since these are the years your income will likely rise less than prices will. We tend to think of inflation as consistent, but it's not. Sometimes inflation is low; sometimes prices actually drop year to year. But these days, inflation is rising faster than it has in years; in some cases, decades. So, what's an investor to do? That's what this week's "Money!" podcast is about. We're going to try to figure out if the inflation we're now experiencing is transitory, or if it's here to stay. And if we are entering a period of high inflation, we're going to talk about what you can do to fight back. As usual, my co-host will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit.

America chooses to have a system that sanctions poverty. COVID relief proves the converse is possible. Sen. Warren has options. Ask PDR anything. ‘Poverty Is a Policy Choice': Study Projects Covid Aid Will Cut US Poverty Nearly in Half. “Eradicating poverty is not a utopian fantasy, it's a policy option.” A detailed analysis of the impact of federal economic relief programs enacted throughout the course of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic projects that the government aid will cut the poverty rate nearly in half this year—further evidence, according to observers, that poverty in the U.S. is a deliberate “policy choice.” Given the absolute onslaught of news we've experienced in recent months (if not recent years), it can feel like the presidential debates for the 2020 election happened a lifetime ago. Many of us here at Daily Kos recall the countless times Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren campaigned to tax the ultra-wealthy and tried her best to break down complicated tax systems and structures for the masses. As she displayed during an interview on Wednesday morning, Warren has not lost her touch. Warren appeared alongside billionaire Ken Langone on CNBC's Squawk Box, where Langone asked Warren why he, a billionaire, still receives social security checks, among other questions about taxes on the super-wealthy. When he finally gave Warren a moment to get a word in, she certainly delivered. Let's check out the exchange and footage below. --- If you like what we do please do the following!

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she's skeptical that Bitcoin will prove to be a reliable hedge against inflation over the long run, a key reason some investors choose to own it -- and why she's warning for tighter regulation, suggesting it will help root out “snake oil salesmen” and may shore up the confidence of investors in the nascent asset class. And, Warren's tax proposal on the wealth of ultra-millionaires and billionaires garnered a lot of attention from Wall Street during the early days of the 2020 Presidential campaign. In a striking - and at times fiery - exchange, billionaire and Home Depot founder Ken Langone joins the Squawk Box gang to discuss the possible policy's impact on the richest of rich Americans.

In recent years the food and beverage industry has transformed to focus on health foods, and at the forefront of the industry is Marcus Antebi, founder of Juice Press.

Today, Juice Press expands to 87 stores across the country. Tune in to hear how he did it.

The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk For more details text LEARNERS to 44222 Full show notes can be found at www.LearningLeader.com #365: James Altucher - How To Become An Idea Machine "Vulnerability equals freedom." "You need to say something interesting. You need to step outside of your comfort zone." James started writing in 1990 after a girl he liked chose to date a writer instead of him. He wrote 3,000 words a day and yet didn't publish anything for 12 years. Why write about your flaws? Watch the movie 8 mile... "Eminem shares all of the negative aspects of himself. He left his competition with nothing to say about him. He beat him to the punch." "I don't hit publish unless I'm worried. Am I afraid? If yes, then publish." "All good writing has to have a story." Commonalities of people who sustain excellence: Physically healthy - They are in shape Emotionally healthy - They have good relationships They are extremely curious - "Ken Langone came in my comedy club and asked tons of questions. He's so curious." They are very creative They have a "ready, fire, aim" approach - Sara Blakely started Spanx and got a $300K order and hadn't figured out how to manufacture her product yet. Creativity/Idea generation is a muscle - If you don't work it, it atrophies. Write 10 ideas a day. Quantity is more important than quality. "He who has the most ideas wins." You'll have a lot of bad ideas. You have to get through those to get to the good ones. Quantity is important. "Writing 10 ideas a day changed my life. I wasn't depressed anymore." Write ideas for companies and share with them... They might call you. Being an "intrapreneur" within your company - Think of ideas that can help your company and share with the CEO. "Success is always on the other side of can't." Great entrepreneurs focus on reducing risk How to speak to powerful people? Realize they are just people Humor is key. "Laughter is the way to level the playing field." Developing a skill - Deliberate practice The "10,000 Experiment" rule The key to getting good is to experiment Be in the top 1% of doing experiments Work your idea muscle every single day - The neurons will be re-wired Share your ideas to help other companies Over-promise AND over-deliver. Do both. Everyone else under-promise with the hope to over-deliver. Don't do that. Overpromise upfront and over-deliver.

Are you just attempting to do 1% more for your physical health, emotional health, creative health, and spiritual health? James describes an experience where someone was stealing from him and he decided to take extreme ownership. Are you improving your relationships and distancing yourself from toxic relationships? Are you eating well, sleeping well, and exercising? James likes to get good at the things he’s passionate about. By interviewing peak performers and reading about them he seeks to understand how to skip a line. Are there smart things you can do to achieve better performance faster? There’s a physical and emotional component to getting better at something. When you skip a line in any field, you're going to have people who don't like you. In order to achieve any kind of peak performance, you have to find your own unique voice in that area of life. If you just improve a little bit each day, your improvement gets compounded. James shares the story of how Richard Branson started Virgin Air. The ability to “ready, fire, aim” is a key characteristic of high achievers. Peak performers have a dedication to learning. In general, peak performers are very kind people that you want to be around. James shares an experience that demonstrates Ken Langone’s intensity. Many peak performers are very intense and they know exactly where to drill down to get the most information possible and as quickly as possible to understand the situation. Peak performers bring intensity and curiosity to everything. Brian Grazer produces movies because he's insanely curious. He schedules one curiosity conversation every week. Peak performers don’t accept no as an answer. Tyra Banks knew ANTM would succeed but was turned down again and again. James has confidence when he is excited about something. He's only able to persuade people when he's excited about something. In his late 40s, he decided he wanted to try standup comedy once. He tried it and loved it. Smoking crack bias = thinking the activities you have invested in have value no matter what. Always ask what you aren’t looking at. A lot of the skills people think they need to learn are not actual skills. Entrepreneurship is not a skill. It's an umbrella of skills. James found standup comedy to be a very complicated skill to acquire. They discuss the cumulative effects of becoming good at one skill and how that does and does not transfer to other areas. Standup comedy helped public speaking but public speaking did not help standup comedy. In the 90s, James created websites for big companies and started his first business. He quickly realized you need to be able to convince people about your vision.  Because he had a technological background, he knew every company needed a website. There's no wall between business and creativity. Art is very much a business endeavor. Building a platform is a business skill. His morning is devoted to writing and creativity. Writing has been the flagship of his creativity for thirty years. Software development helps James to understand or manage software development projects. He keeps track of the latest developments in software so that he's never behind the times. He programmed software to model the stock market. Having a software background helps you to understand what is the simplest, most rational solution to a situation. When you have too many factors, you're probably analyzing incorrectly. He professionally self-published Choose Yourself.  Figure out who the gatekeepers are and how to get around them. In every area of your life, you can choose yourself. He wasn't focused on money and instead did what his art wanted him to do. The best way you can prove yourself is by being the best you that you can be. He still feels insecure and has felt that way since he was a child. James shares his funny Madoff story that doesn’t work for standup. James tells us about his HBO web show. Interviewing is an ongoing thing that you learn. I think it's an art form. When interviewing, prepare really well so that the person is shocked by how much you know about them.   Sometimes a good podcast is really about the entertainment value. You only need a little bit of the podcast to be educational. No matter what, you have to be good at something. Deliver value. Be entertaining. Find the right platform.   3 Key Points:   Decide to be 1% better each day in ways that serve your emotional, physical, creative, and spiritual health.     Learning from others allows you to “skip a line” and get better at gaining a skill more quickly.   The cumulative effects of becoming good at one skill can often transfer to other skills.

James Hull from Hullx and co-host of China Tech Investor podcast joined us in a discussion on whether we should replace Baidu with Bytedance in the BAT China. Starting with the question, James dived deep into the business structures of Baidu and Bytedance and examined whether Baidu has lost their edge as one of the three tech giants of China. In the same conversation, James offered his perspectives on how Bytedance will replace Baidu in the future. Here are the interesting show notes and links to the discussion (with time-stamps included): James Hull (@jameshullx, LinkedIn), Co-host of China Tech Investor podcast and Founder of Hullx [0:21] Since you have last appeared on the podcast, what have you been up to? [0:50] Should we replace Baidu with Bytedance in the BAT? [0:56] BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) & TMD (Toutiao, Meituan-dianping, Didi)  Let’s start with Baidu. How has Baidu performed as a public company for the past decade? [2:08] What are the key businesses of Baidu? (iQiyi is spun off as a separate company)? [3:27] Baidu's advances in AI [4:56] and in the intelligent audio input interface and speaker sector. [5:42] Is Baidu dependent on the advertising business similar to Google in the US? [6:51] Comparison between Baidu and Bytedance in terms of user information feeds [9:30] Bytedance's advantage with user feeds and recommendations through Douyin and Toutiao [11:51] Bytedance has been growing exponentially with a 75B valuation from their recent round with SoftBank, now the most valuable startup in the world followed by Didi. How are they performing as a business? [15:09] What are the key revenue drivers for Bytedance? How are they compared to Alibaba and Tencent? [18:08] What are Baidu’s competitive advantages that you think may allow them to stay competitive within the BAT? [24:30] How Baidu's search engine competes against Google and the rest of Chinese search engines. [28:24] Should we just replace Baidu with Bytedance in the BAT? [31:09] Interesting Chinese answer on the question for this podcast (in Chinese) in Zhihu (similar to Reddit and Quora in the US) which Carol has referenced and mentioned in the discussion.  Closing [37:24] Recommendation for a book, movie, podcast, or any consumable content?[37:24] James' recommendation: "I love capitalism" by Ken Langone , "The Great Rebalancing" by Michael Pettis Carol's recommendation: Louis Cha's or Jin Yong's martial arts novels How does our audience find you?

Robert I. Grossman, MD, was named Saul J. Farber Dean and chief executive officer of NYU Langone Health in July 2007. Dr. Grossman joined NYU Langone in 2001 as the Louis Marx Professor of Radiology, chairman of the Department of Radiology, and professor of neurology, neurosurgery, and physiology and neuroscience. In his previous position at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, he was a professor of radiology, neurosurgery, and neurology; chief of neuroradiology; and associate chairman of radiology. Early in his tenure, Dr. Grossman launched a major campus transformation that has resulted in the addition of more than 7 million square feet of clinical, educational, and research space. In collaboration with the Board of Trustees and institutional leadership, Dr. Grossman has increased NYU Langone’s revenue by more than $7 billion and has raised more than $2.7 billion in philanthropy. In addition, NYU Langone’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) 2017 research awards totaled $451 million—an increase of more than 250 percent since 2007. As dean of NYU School of Medicine, he presided over the announcement of tuition-free medical education for all current and future students in its MD degree program. Dr. Grossman also curated a new approach to medical education, called Curriculum for the 21st Century (C21). In 2018, Dr. Grossman was named to Time magazine’s inaugural Health Care 50 list of the 50 most influential healthcare leaders who changed the state of healthcare in America, together with Ken Langone, chairman of NYU Langone’s Board of Trustees. Additionally, Dr. Grossman was named a “Living Landmark” by the New York Landmarks Conservancy in 2013 for his leadership in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, which caused unprecedented damage to NYU Langone’s facilities and required the safe evacuation of 322 patients. Dr. Grossman is a passionate educator and widely published scholar. He has trained more than 100 fellows, many of whom occupy prominent positions worldwide, and has authored 338 publications and 5 books, including Neuroradiology: The Requisites.

Every once in a while I chat with somebody who makes me realize just how cool my job really is. That’s the case this week with Ken Langone, the legendary financier, who helped take a bunch of companies public before co-founding Home Depot. Ken has also became a philanthropist extraordinaire, helping to rebuild the New York University hospital. Ken dropped by for an in-studio to talk about his new book, I Love Capitalism!: An American Story, but really it was just a fascinating conversation with a guy who grew up in a working-class family on Long Island, put himself through school, and after some hard work and smart decisions and a few guardian angels, became one of the most successful businessmen in the country. Ken Langone has seen it all on his way to a net worth beyond his wildest dreams, now in excess of $3 billion dollars. In a series of captivating stories, Langone shows how he struggled in academics, broke into Wall Street, and scrambled for an MBA at night while competing with privileged competitors by day. He also shares how he learned to evaluate the value of a business and apply his street smarts to negotiate enormous deals. And what happened when Langone was approached by Bernie Madoff for an investment, just weeks before the Ponzi scheme came to light? You’ll have to tune in for that chestnut... Langone says that the book is his love song to capitalism..."Absolutely anybody is entitled to dream big, and absolutely everybody should dream big. I did. Show me where the silver spoon was in my mouth. I’ve got to argue profoundly and passionately: I’m the American Dream.” “Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment.

North Korea threatened to withdraw from the upcoming summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un over recent U.S. actions and rhetoric. The North took issue with joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea and said the United States may want to “corner” it and unilaterally demand “we give up our nuclear weapons,” citing statements made by National Security Adviser John Bolton on CBS’ “Face The Nation” in late April. Is North Korea trying to gain leverage before the historic summit or is this mere propaganda? Charles Armstrong, the director of the Center for Korean Research at Columbia University, discusses how this is impacting the delicate diplomatic and political situation on the Korean Peninsula. Ken Langone, co-founder of Home Depot and former director of the New York Stock Exchange, talks about his new book “I Love Capitalism: An American Story.”

President Barack Obama's conduct during the debate over the debt ceiling has divided the country and will inflict damage that will last well after the battle is over, former New York Stock Exchange director and Wall Street stalwart Ken Langone said. While he believes a debt deal will get done and in fact favors a plan closer to what the Democrats are proposing, Langone told CNBC that Obama's behavior has been "unpresidential." "He is dividing us as a nation," Langone said. "He's not bringing us together. He's willfully dividing us. He's petulant."
