Hide your China, the boys are at it again with a drink and a discussion of 2011's “Warrior”. Gavin O'Connor's film found Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton at the perfect time, and he paired them with legend Nick Nolte for one of his best performances. Jeff also saw “Practical Magic 2” in the theaters on 9/11 and gives a mini-review. Two very different films! They both go well with drinks. Maybe wine or margaritas for the witch film, and whiskey and/or coffee (for our non-drinkers) for the MMA film. Grab a drink and join us! inktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

Joining Gaslit Nation this week, Jack Cocchiarella—the Gen Z political commentator, host of The Jack Cocchiarella Show, and future ambassador to Italy under the most progressive White House the world has ever seen—argues that despair, not ideology, is the true driving force behind America's Gen Z vs. nihilism crisis. Andrea and Jack discuss the radicalization of young men who feel they lack a sense of belonging or purpose; the ways New York City Council Member Zohran Mamdani—whom Jack interviewed early in his campaign when he had no chance of winning—embodies the ideal role model for Gen Z men today; the weird and creepy love affair between MAGA cultist Natalie Harp and convicted felon/cult leader Donald Trump; how the Democrats can start being ruthless and stop playing by the book when the book is on fire; why cryptocurrency lobbyists in Congress are the "controlled opposition"; Trump's plan to hole up in a ballroom-bunker to escape the people whose lives he's destroying; and the progressive case for supporting Ukraine against fascist Russia.

Oracle überrascht mit starken Zahlen – und dann will Larry Ellison plötzlich Aktien im Wert von 7,5 Milliarden US-Dollar verkaufen. Zufall oder Insider-Alarm? Außerdem sprechen wir über Apples neues Falt-iPhone, den Absturz von Rocket Lab, mögliche Übernahmen im Satellitenmarkt und die Frage, ob selbstfahrende Lkw bald die Logistikbranche verändern.Dazu geht es um steigende Ölpreise, El Niño, schwedische Compounder, den Scheidungskrieg beim Lululemon-Gründer und Trumps absurdes Versprechen von 5.000 US-Dollar für jeden US-Bürger. Wie soll das finanziert werden – und was würde das mit Inflation, Staatsanleihen und den Zinsen machen?Zum Schluss wird es existenziell: Anthropic fordert mehr Kontrolle und internationale Regeln für KI. Während Sam Altman und Elon Musk bremsen wollen, setzt Mark Zuckerberg auf Vollgas. Wer hat recht – und was passiert, wenn nur ein einziger Player nicht mitspielt?────────────────────────

We all know the Steve Jobs who came back in the late 1990s and saved Apple from becoming a footnote. And we've all heard the story of how, in 1985, he was pushed out of the company he'd created. What we don't know is what happened in between. Geoffrey Cain spent years reconstructing the decade Jobs spent outside Apple. NeXT spent years losing money. His co-founders left. His investors lost faith. His fortune nearly disappeared. At one point, he was a weekend away from shutting the company down. Somewhere in those failures, Jobs learned how to become the leader Apple would eventually need. This is Steve Jobs before he became Steve Jobs. ------ Chapters: (0:51) Why Steve Jobs Was Pushed Out of Apple (3:04) Steve Jobs' Failed Coup Attempt to Oust CEO (4:33) The Failure of Macintosh II (8:27) Starting NeXT Computers (9:34) The Story Behind NeXT's Iconic Logo (11:38) A Perfect Cube: The Impossible Design of NeXTcube (13:50) What Movies Get Wrong About Steve Jobs (14:02) The Ultimate Trait Steve Jobs Looked For in Hiring (14:59) Decision Making By Intellectual Combat (16:40) Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field (17:25) The Flaw that Almost Destroyed Steve Jobs (21:25) How NeXT Software Changed Computing Forever (24:44) Steve Jobs' Self-Sabotages at NeXT (25:02) Ross Perot and Steve Jobs (28:48) How Pixar Saved Steve Jobs from Bankruptcy (29:19) The Realization Steve Jobs Had at Rock Bottom (31:49) The Last Ditch Effort to Save NeXT Computers (38:55) Steve Jobs Gets His Revenge (43:09) Larry Ellison's Friendship with Steve Jobs (45:05) How Steve Jobs Brought Out the Best in His Employees (48:08) The Lessons Steve Jobs Learned From Failure (50:08) Bill Gates and Steve Jobs Rivalry (51:44) The Funniest Steve Jobs/Bill Gates Moment (53:43) Steve Jobs Takes Over As Apple CEO (57:08) How Meeting Laurene Changed Everything (59:01) Rapid Fire Questions (59:21) How Steve Jobs Inspired His Team (1:00:31) Steve Jobs Medical Treatment (1:01:42) What We Can Learn from Steve Jobs ------ Follow Geoffrey Cain: X: https://x.com/geoffrey_cain ------ Newsletter: The Brain Food newsletter delivers actionable insights and thoughtful ideas every Sunday.

Czy tradycyjna szkoła przygotowuje nasze dzieci do świata, który nadchodzi, czy do tego, który właśnie znika?1 września zaczyna się kolejny rok szkolny, więc w najnowszym odcinku podcastu „Radek Kobiałko Nadaje” oddaję głos dwóm ekspertom AI wygenerowanym w środowisku Google NotebookLM, którzy prowadzą merytoryczną debatę na podstawie przygotowanego przeze mnie materiału „Szkoła 2026”, badań naukowych, danych i przykładów dotyczących współczesnej edukacji.To nie jest rozmowa ustawiona pod jedną tezę. Jeden z prowadzących mocno krytykuje tradycyjny model szkoły: standaryzację, presję ocen, bullying, ograniczanie autonomii, niedostosowanie do dzieci neuroróżnorodnych, przycinanie talentów i coraz większy rozdźwięk między programem szkolnym a światem technologii i AI. Drugi broni szkoły publicznej, wskazując na wyrównywanie szans, rolę społeczną, dostęp do minimum wiedzy, relacje rówieśnicze oraz ryzyko, że część alternatywnych modeli edukacji jest łatwiej dostępna dla rodzin mających więcej czasu, możliwości i pieniędzy.Rozmawiają również o jednym z największych nieporozumień wokół edukacji poza tradycyjną szkołą. Współczesna edukacja domowa bardzo rzadko oznacza dziecko samotnie siedzące z rodzicem przy kuchennym stole. To coraz częściej społeczności rodzin, grupy zainteresowań, warsztaty prowadzone przez specjalistów, tutoring, szkoły online i w chmurze, mikroszkoły, edukacja demokratyczna, Montessori, nauka projektowa, outdoorowa i różne modele hybrydowe łączące świat online z prawdziwymi ludźmi, miejscami i doświadczeniami.Duża część debaty dotyczy sztucznej inteligencji. Czy pamięciowe wkuwanie ogromnej ilości informacji nadal ma sens, kiedy każdy uczeń może mieć dostęp do indywidualnego tutora AI? Jednocześnie prowadzący zwracają uwagę, że własna wiedza staje się jeszcze ważniejsza, bo bez niej nie da się rozpoznawać błędów, halucynacji, manipulacji ani dobrze korzystać z możliwości nowych technologii. AI może pomagać człowiekowi myśleć lepiej albo myśleć za niego, a różnica zależy przede wszystkim od sposobu edukacji.Wracamy też do historii tak zwanego „systemu pruskiego”, oddzielając fakty od popularnych uproszczeń, oraz do ludzi, którzy zmieniali świat mimo nieukończenia klasycznej ścieżki akademickiej, takich jak Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Larry Ellison czy bracia Wright. Ich historie nie dowodzą, że formalna edukacja jest zbędna, ale pokazują, że dyplom nigdy nie był warunkiem koniecznym innowacyjności, talentu czy tworzenia technologii, z których później korzystają także świetnie wykształceni lekarze, naukowcy i inżynierowie.Rozmawiamy również o tym, czego szkoła wciąż uczy zdecydowanie za mało: jak zarabiać pieniądze, oszczędzać, inwestować, rozumieć kredyt i podatki, prowadzić własną działalność i budować finansową samodzielność. Skoro te kompetencje będą miały ogromny wpływ na całe dorosłe życie, trudno zrozumieć, dlaczego nadal pozostają na marginesie wielu lat edukacji.Punktem wyjścia całej debaty jest jedno pytanie:Gdybyśmy dzisiaj, w 2026 roku, projektowali system edukacji od zera dla dzieci, które wejdą na rynek pracy około 2040 roku, czy naprawdę zbudowalibyśmy go tak, jak wygląda dzisiejsza szkoła?Jeśli uznacie, że takie treści mają wartość i chcecie pokazać, że je doceniacie, możecie wesprzeć moją pracę na Patronite, postawić mi wirtualną kawę w serwisie Buy Me a Coffee albo przybić mi wirtualną piątkę w Suppi. To drobny gest, ale motywuje do dalszej pracy.A jeśli zajrzycie na stronę www.radekkobialkonadaje.pl , sprawicie też ogromną radość mojemu 12-letniemu synowi Maxowi, który stworzył ją całkowicie sam i sam nią administruje, wspierając mnie w ten sposób.
Trump fired 1,139 FBI agents. Hegseth is wiping out the Pentagon's generals. This is not chaos. It is a purge with a plan. In this episode: •
What happened to the old world?In JT's Mix Tape Episode 95, JT, Bryan and Aaron go down one of the wildest rabbit holes yet — from the millions of skeletons buried beneath Paris and strange population numbers to destroyed architecture, underground cities, ancient technology and the possibility that our accepted historical timeline is missing something enormous.Then things get even stranger.We get into Tesla “ghosts” appearing in graveyards, Tucker Carlson questioning the destruction of America's beautiful old architecture, Larry Ellison and Oracle appearing in Iron Man 2, frightening advances in technology, AI spirituality, transhumanism, technocratic visions for humanity — and the growing trend of billionaires and celebrities building elaborate underground bunkers.Is technology creating a completely new future?Or, as Ecclesiastes says, is there truly nothing new under the sun?Either way, fear is not the answer. Hold fast to Christ and endure to the end.

Starring Warren Beatty, this political thriller about a journalist trying to uncover the secret conspiracy behind a senator's assassination, two of the co-hosts called this movie “great”, and one called it “fucking tragic”. How was there such a divide? Grab a beer and join in. inktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Een kwartaal om door een ringetje te halen! ABN maakte meer winst, zag het rendement op het eigen vermogen toenemen, de buffers stijgen en de kosten zakken. Het was bovendien allemaal veel beter dan waarop analisten hadden gerekend. En de aandeelhouder? Die is blij, want het dividend gaat omhoog. Deze aflevering hebben we het over het succes van ABN. Waar doet de bank het goed en waar kunnen ze het nóg beter doen? Ook gaat het over de buffers van de bank. Die staan er zo goed voor, dat ze op overnamepad kunnen. Moeten ze dat ook doen? Verder duiken we in de wereld van cloudverhuur. We hebben het over een Amerikaanse hit, CoreWeave. De omzet verdubbelde en beleggers duiken op het aandeel. Een klein probleempje: het maakt nog altijd geen winst. Winst was er ook voor het Noorse staatsfonds, de grootste belegger van de wereld. In de eerst helft van het jaar een keurige 186 miljard dollar winst! Ook laten de Noren weten hoeveel aandelen ze precies in SpaceX hebben. Hello Kitty, jawel, komt ook nog voorbij deze aflevering. Je hoort wat de link tussen dit schattige wezentje en president Trump is. Te gast: Martine Hafkamp van Fintessa Vermogensbeheer BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren.

SEASON 5 EPISODE 1: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Hey look, we're back. A special edition to test new equipment (both internal and mechanical), and to talk about the amazing reality that Trump has lost his war in Iran, and the only result he got has just been made permanent as Iran made a deal not with him, but with Oman, to institutionalize the Strait of Hormuz tolls. He is literally the first U.S. President to lose a war. So much winning! Plus the latest media fails (New York Times platforms that idiot David Ellison, who has been silenced by the liberal media that is owned by conservatives; more Maggie Haberman), new Michigan senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed comes out throwing figurative punches at MAGA, and the bigger picture on the through lines back of Trump's Iran Forever War: burying Epstein, monetizing war for the Trump Mafia, and trying to make you afraid that gas will cost an extra buck rather than afraid your descendants will be smothered by gas's destruction of the atmosphere. B-Block (50:00) SPORTSBALLCENTER TONIGHT: Did you notice baseball's celebration of its "Trade Deadline" this week? This is a relatively new phenomenon. Through most of its history baseball has tried to legislate AGAINST powerful well-heeled teams from monopolizing all the talent. In fact there was once a rule against making a trade with a defending champion! And, maybe you heard I'm selling one of my rare Honus Wagner baseball cards. The idea that the card was damaged (the background to the player's portrait was cut away, probably in 1909) and I had it restored by a master conservator, has kind of gotten warped in the hype about the auction. The point is: restoration - illicit, secret, designed to mislead and deceive - has been around for three decades and I had this already-altered card re-altered was and is an attempt to make restoration above board. C-Block (1:23:14) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Well my old pal Laura Ingraham was back in the news and I'm afraid Dr. Fauci was subjected to a real-time version of one of my recurring nightmares: I'm somewhere public, trying to deal with a crisis, and I can tell somebody is sitting behind me gesticulating and contorting their visage - and it's LAURA. Or you can title this "The many faces of Laura Ingraham."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week, the boys revisit their most prolific year, 2022!

This week, the boys head back to 1937 to discuss the real OG “A Star Is Born”. Produced by David O.

This week, the boys get bleak and drink to the nuclear apocalypse- we're talking about “Fail Safe”! Sidney Lumet's 1964 Cold War “what-if” came out the same year as, but a few months after, “Dr. Strangelove…” (previous episode), but ohhhhh man does this movie feel prescient. I mean, no crazy people are in charge of nuclear weapons that can catastrophize global Armageddon, right??

It's a bad week for David Ellison, with Paramount Skydance facing two concurrent lawsuits seeking to block its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery — plus a shareholder case accusing Ellison and his father, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, of corruption. On Monday, 12 state attorneys general — led by California AG Rob Bonta — filed their long-expected lawsuit, claiming the proposed merger was “unlawful.” On Tuesday, the Writers Guild of America stepped up, saying the combined company “threatens the economic and creative health of the American entertainment industry.” Former FTC commissioner Alvaro Bedoya and WGA West board member Adam Conover join Elaine Low to explain the states' and WGA's respective suits — and the harms they see the deal causing to an entertainment industry already under strain. Plus, all good things must come to an end: Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey break down the power of Love Island USA and the ratings bonanza that is the World Cup. Learn more about your ad choices.

Legendary filmmaker Robert Greenwald joins Gaslit Nation to talk about his powerful documentary from Brave New Films, Gaza: Journalists Under Fire. We break down the horrifying media consolidation driven by Netanyahu-ally , billionaire Larry Ellison, who is actively dismantling beloved institutions like CBS to enforce a McCarthyist, pro-Netanyahu chill on American journalism. We also expose how Trump and Jared Kushner have dragged the US into an illegal, unconstitutional war with Iran, draining vital air defense systems for Ukraine, while Trump's ICE agents go on a killing spree, openly executing parents in front of their children, and expanding their network of concentration camps at home and abroad. As always, Gaslit Nation also provides ways to fight back and plant powerful seeds of hope and change—because we will ultimately build a better world.

“一个人的命运当然要靠自己的奋斗,但也要考虑历史的进程。”几乎所有的成功人士可能都会对这句话感同身受。但个人奋斗与历史进程的结合,究竟能产生多大的财富效应和影响力,这个纪录还在不断被刷新。在过去的五十年里,美国社会见证了一对富豪父子的诞生:从软件服务起家、又在好莱坞打出名气,最终成为现任美国总统的座上宾。依靠上市公司、野心并购和天价合约,Larry和David Ellison父子不仅实现了惊人的财富增长,也将美国的科技与媒体产业深刻绑定在一起。本期节目,我们就来聊聊这两位“美国版本之子”是如何实现这一切的。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |01:43 埃里森父子所掌控的美国企业生态06:34 从Version 2开始的Oracle13:11 数据库为何能让Larry Ellison暴富14:55 从飞行电影起步的富二代明星梦19:17 天舞公司终于等来《壮志凌云2:独行侠》26:57 大选周期里最大的单笔政治注资之一29:43 投资特朗普后,在多个方向上收获回报38:17 从技术杠杆、财富杠杆到政治杠杆| 延伸资料 |Vol.238 反垄断猛如虎,奈飞还要买买买Reuters-Oracle's stake in TikTok US joint venture is worth roughly $2 billion, filing showsTime-LARRY ELLISON: THE PRINCE OF SAN MATEOWSJ-Larry Ellison Is More Interesting Than Ever at 81LA Times-In Hollywood, image is everything.

The Two Circles Sports IP Revenue League 2026 is full of numbers. The headline is that sports IP is worth $174billion. But the story is more interesting and nuanced than that. Richard went to the agency's offices in Holborn to hold the report up to the light. Joining him is Gareth Balch, CEO of Two Circles, and Charlie Dewhurst, Chief Commercial Officer of SailGP — the race sailing property founded by Larry Ellison of Oracle fame.Who's in, who's out and why should you care?Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Dvorak on Twitter Follow Andrew Horowitz on Twitter Warm-Up - JOBS Number - Odd Move - Saylor is selling Bitcoin! - VEGGIE ALERT! - US RESUMES POWERFUL STRIKES ON IRAN (Is this still a ceasefire?) Markets - Starting off July on a Wobble - SpaceX added to NAZ100 - Oil prices drifting lower - Gas at the pump? - Oracle - Canary? World Cup? - USA is out... (Bad goalie move last night) IRAN - Looks like war is back on - at least for tonight - Oil rises about 3% on the news - US revokes Iran's ability to sell oil around the world - Markets don't seem overly concerned - VIX still low at 16 - Odds that this will be more than a quick in and out? --- Could it be that Iran was waiting until after the Funeral? JOBS COOL, FED STILL HOT - June payrolls came in at +57,000, well under the +110,000 estimate. - April and May were revised down by a combined 74,000 jobs. - Unemployment slipped to 4.2%, but not for the best reason: the labor force shrank by 720,000 people. - Labor-force participation fell to 61.5%, the lowest in more than five years. - Leisure and hospitality lost 61,000 jobs, a notable hit to the consumer-service economy. - Average hourly earnings rose $0.13 in June. - Fed setup: weaker hiring argues for patience, but inflation is still above target, so the market is back to parsing every Fed sentence. - - Fed Funds Futures Now only ONE Raise by Year-End DOW RECORD, NASDAQ WOBBLE - The Dow closed at a record 52,900.07 after the soft jobs report cooled near-term rate-hike fear. - S&P 500 finished roughly flat. - Nasdaq fell about 0.8% as chip stocks dragged the tape lower. - The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped more than 5% on July 2. - Apple rose nearly 5% on iPhone launch optimism. - Nvidia and other AI/chip names stayed volatile after a huge first-half run. - Goldman client data showed hedge funds dumped tech hardware and semiconductor exposure for a fourth straight week. - The issue is not "AI is dead"; the issue is when all the AI capex turns into visible returns. TESLA BEATS DELIVERIES, STOCK STILL GETS HIT - Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in Q2, a record quarter and above Wall Street expectations. - Production was 451,758 vehicles. - Model 3/Y made up 467,762 deliveries. - Other models were only 12,364. - Energy storage deployments were 13.5 GWh. - Shares fell about 7.5% after the report, the worst one-day drop in roughly a year. - Pressure points: margin worries, price cuts, demand sustainability, and the market questioning whether the EV story is enough at a very rich valuation. - As of Monday afternoon, TSLA was around $420 with a market cap near $1.49 trillion and a trailing P/E around 385. MORE MUSK - TESLA PUTS AI ON A BUDGET - Tesla reportedly capped employee spending on third-party AI tools at $200 per week starting July 6. - Grok was reportedly exempt from the cap. - Setup: Tesla wants employees using AI, but not running up unlimited outside-token bills. - Cost-control angle: AI is becoming a normal operating expense, not a science project. - Funny part: even at Tesla, the AI bill apparently needs a limiter. NVIDIA SERVER DELAY NOISE - Nvidia shares held up despite reports of delays tied to its next AI server architecture. - SemiAnalysis reportedly said Nvidia's Kyber architecture could slip by up to 12 months into 2028. - Nvidia pushed back and said its development roadmap is unchanged. - Mizuho called the delay report "noise" and said it was not a material issue for the stock. - NOTE: Story is still report-driven, not company-confirmed. ORACLE - CANARY? - Oracle's stock fell 19% this week, the steepest drop since August 2001, the depths of the dot-com bust. - The company's capital expenditures surged 162% in the latest fiscal year, with almost $24 billion in negative free cash flow and $130 billion in debt. - Co-founder Larry Ellison has fallen behind the Google co-founders, Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell on the list of the world's richest people. - After the company reached a peak market cap of $900 billion in September, on enthusiasm about Oracle's AI customers, the stock has lost about 55% of its value. - The crux of the problem is that for Oracle to fulfill its AI infrastructure commitment, primarily to OpenAI, it's having to raise record amounts of debt, creating balance sheet risk while focusing on lower-margin offerings. SPACEX ENTERS THE INDEX MACHINE - SpaceX is set to join the Nasdaq-100 on Tuesday after its recent IPO. - The company's valuation is around $2.1 trillion. - Its Nasdaq-100 weight will initially be under 1% because of limited public float. - Index-tracking funds tied to the Nasdaq-100 will need exposure, creating automatic demand. - Key issue: big valuation, small float, forced index buying. - Watch the lockup calendar: index inclusion can create near-term demand, but employee and insider selling later can change the supply picture. - Podcast angle: retail gets "SpaceX exposure" through QQQ, but not necessarily much exposure at first. STRATEGY SELLS BITCOIN TO PAY THE BILLS - Strategy sold 3,588 bitcoin last week for about $216 million. - Proceeds are being used for preferred-stock dividends and dollar reserves. - The company still holds 843,775 bitcoin, valued around $52 billion. - Q2 included an $8.32 billion paper loss tied to bitcoin weakness. - The company's average bitcoin purchase price is around $75,476. - Recent sale prices were around $59,000 to $61,000. - Funny part: the former "never sell" bitcoin treasury poster child is now selling bitcoin to service the capital structure. - Watch for copycats: any company that copied the bitcoin-treasury model may face the same liquidity math if crypto stays weak. MICROSOFT CUTS AGAIN - Microsoft said it will cut about 4,800 jobs. - Shares slipped nearly 1%. - Job cuts landed while investors are still rewarding AI spending. - The message? spend heavy on AI, cut elsewhere. --- Yes, AI is killing jobs... SERVICES HOLD AT 54 - ISM non-manufacturing PMI came in at 54.0. - Result matched expectations. - Reading above 50 means services activity is still expanding. - Market took it as firm enough for growth, not hot enough to force an immediate Fed move. EARNINGS SEASON STARTER - Delta and PepsiCo report this week. - Levi Strauss also reports this week. - Delta is the read on travel, premium demand, fuel, and consumer resilience. - PepsiCo is the read on snack pricing, volume, and lower-income consumer pressure. - Q2 earnings bar is high after the market's strong second-quarter rally. OIL BACK TO PRE-IRAN WAR LEVELS - Brent settled around $71.99. - WTI settled around $68.55. - OPEC+ approved another output-target increase for August, adding 188,000 barrels per day. - Since April, planned increases add up to nearly 800,000 barrels per day. - Crude exports through the Strait of Hormuz are recovering, taking some geopolitical premium out of the market. - Saudi Arabia cut official selling prices, another sign the market is shifting from shortage panic to buyer resistance. - Good for headline inflation if it sticks; bad for energy bulls who were pricing war-premium oil. SPR DRAWDOWN - U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell by 6.2 million barrels. - SPR level is now 319.5 million barrels. - That is the lowest level since April 1983. - Drawdown comes while oil prices are easing and OPEC+ is adding supply. - Energy setup: lower crude helps inflation, but reserve levels are historically thin. MORE OIL - CHINA BUYS THE DIP - China stepped up Middle East oil purchases as prices fell. - Saudi Arabia cut export prices to Asia to a six-year low. - Brent settled at $71.99. - WTI settled at $68.55. - OPEC+ approved another August production increase of 188,000 barrels per day. - Planned OPEC+ supply increases since April now total nearly 800,000 barrels per day. - Lower oil supports disinflation but raises questions about global demand.

CHINA NOT MESSING AROUND - A Chinese court handed a rare death sentence to a former official on corruption charges, in a severe punishment underscoring the intensity of President Xi Jinping's anti-graft crackdown. - Yang Youlin, a former vice director of an economic zone in the eastern city of Nanjing, was sentenced to death on Monday for taking more than 2.21 billion yuan ($325 million) of bribes between 2013 and 2023, according to the state broadcaster China Central Television. - Yang was found guilty also of embezzlement, abuse of power and money laundering. His crimes were “exceptionally grave” and caused massive losses, warranting the capital sentence, CCTV reported, citing the Changzhou Intermediate People's Court in Jiangsu province. DRONES - Dronemaker AeroVironment reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat on the top and bottom lines. - The company's funded backlog of $1.2 billion was up substantially over last year, but grew only slightly from the $1.1 billion last quarter. - Autonomous systems were a strong point with revenue of $492 million that beat the $402 million StreetAccount expectation.

Joey and Sean team up to cover the latest round of Team Blue updates. We're tracking the $22 billion Trump disclosure featuring meme coins, Binance pardons, and Larry Ellison's shadow over CBS before pivoting to the tragicomedy that is the Freedom 250 Fair. Find out why tech bros, AI George Washington, and Photoshop can't save the GOP from the ultimate crowd-size humiliation.Here's what's in the blender today:* The $22 Billion Windfall: We kick things off with a massive look at Trump's latest 2025 financial disclosures. From a casual $14 billion pulled from crypto ventures and licensing meme coins, to a $500 million UAE buy-in and a $400 million “gift” jet from Qatar, we break down how the ultimate art of the self-deal is currently operating at the highest level of government.* The Memory of Watergate: We head over to the Nixon Library to dissect Vice President JD Vance's recent comments, chortling at the historic scandal that took down a presidency. We trace Vance's fascinating, tragic evolution from a Yale-educated Hillbilly Elegy darling funded by Peter Thiel, who once called his current boss "Hitler" and “human fentanyl”, to a human weather vane whispering sweet nothings to an audience of one.* The Free Press Plot Twist: In a surprising turn of events, we look at the right-leaning Free Press dropping a devastating piece on Trump's deep financial corruption. We play out the inevitable corporate domino effect of what happens when the editor-in-chief of CBS News tries to poke the bear, and why the system treats DC insider trading like a legal perk while a military ranger betting on Kalshi gets instantly dragged down.* Fyre Festival 2.0 (The National Mall Edition): Finally, we wrap up with some high-quality crowd-size mockery at the “Freedom 250” Great American State Fair. It was supposed to be a massive Bicentennial-level blowout; instead, the 1,000 people who actually showed up got peeling columns, power outages, fake AI historical figures, and the single saddest, most depressed corn dog stand in American history.Grab your popcorn (If you're not at the National Mall) and stay amused; it's going to be a wild ride.0:00 Trump's $22 Billion Windfall 3:00 JD Vance Dismisses Watergate 3:30 Watergate History Refresher 6:30 Nixon's Resignation and Fallout 8:00 A Two-Tiered Justice System 9:30 The Free Press Exposes Trump's Corruption 10:30 Legal vs. Illegal Corruption Debate 14:00 JD Vance's Background Story 16:30 Vance's Flip-Flop on Trump 19:30 Trump's Freedom 250 State Fair Flop This is a public episode.

Story of the Week (DR):JP Morgan's news weekThe Lurid Lawsuit, Salami Scandal and Trash-Can Thief Vexing JPMorgan's PR Department AND Meme of 'JPMorgan's HR Department in 2026' Has People in Stitches Amid Sex Scandal and Knicks Bin IncidentShe Stole a Knicks Trash Can Off the Street and Lost Her Job at JPMorganThe Trash Bin That Cost Her Career: Who Is Angie Báez? JPMorgan DEI Executive Fired After Viral Knicks Parade VideoThe Trash-Can Thief: Angie Báez, an Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement at the bank, was captured on a viral video during the New York Knicks championship parade emptying a public trash bin onto a Manhattan sidewalk so she could steal the limited-edition, blue-and-orange Knicks-themed container.The Resolution: JPMorgan quickly terminated her employment after the video went viral. Báez eventually returned the trash bin and was issued $175 in sanitation fines.But what kinds of thing DON'T get you fired and get you fined?In 2023, JPMorgan Chase agreed to a $290 million (1,657,143x) settlement to resolve a class-action lawsuit from survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. The bank was accused of actively ignoring glaring red flags and helping bankroll Epstein's sex-trafficking operation for 15 years.Internal documents and later congressional probes revealed that the bank processed roughly 4,700 suspicious transactions totaling $1.1 billion for Epstein. They failed to file a single Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) until after his death.Who Kept Their Job? Mary Erdoes: The Head of Asset & Wealth Management was fully aware of Epstein's status as a high-risk sex offender, reviewed his account, and was directly implicated in internal communications regarding his status. She faced zero professional demotions and remains one of the top candidates to eventually succeed Jamie Dimon as CEO.In 2020, JPMorgan Chase entered a deferred prosecution agreement and agreed to pay a record $920 million (5,257,143x) to settle federal charges of market manipulation.For nearly a decade, traders on JPMorgan's precious metals and U.S. Treasuries desks engaged in "spoofing"—placing tens of thousands of fake, deceptive orders to artificially move market prices and maximize their own profits. The FBI stated that traders "openly disregarded U.S. laws."While a couple of mid-to-high-level traders (like Michael Nowak and Gregg Smith) were later criminally convicted and sentenced to prison, the executive leadership team responsible for supervising them and implementing compliance programs suffered no casualties. Top management stayed perfectly secure, chalking the multi-million dollar fraud up as the work of a few "bad apples."The Salami Scandal: Veteran wealth manager Brent Bodner was fired by JPMorgan in 2024 after he expensed a $642.50 deli platter (containing wings, sandwiches, and salads) for a Super Bowl gathering at his Beverly Hills home. The bank accused him of intentionally misclassifying a personal party as a pre-approved business meeting.Bodner counter-sued, jokingly dubbing the controversy the "salami incident." He argued that the event was a legitimate client-acquisition dinner that only two prospects ended up attending, and that the minor coding error was used as a pretext to push him out.The Resolution: A FINRA arbitration panel sided heavily with Bodner, ruling that JPMorgan acted preemptively out of paranoia that brokers were leaving for rivals. The panel ordered JPMorgan to pay Bodner $4.25 million in damages.The Lurid Lawsuit: Chirayu Rana, a former vice president on JPMorgan's leveraged finance team, leveled highly salacious allegations against his female supervisor, Executive Director Lorna Hajdini. Rana's lawsuit alleges he was subjected to a campaign of racial discrimination, severe harassment, and forced sexual relations under the threat of having his career sabotaged.The Resolution: Rana rejected a $1M settlement offer, countering with a demand for up to $22 million before escalating the fight to court. Both Hajdini and JPMorgan strongly deny the allegations as entirely fabricated, and the legal battle is moving toward a highly publicized trial.JPMorgan Chase promotes Petno, Rohrbaugh to copresidents, setting up two more successors for DimonThe Wait to Replace Jamie Dimon Keeps Getting Longer: Another potential successor, Marianne Lake, is leaving JPMorgan, as the longstanding chief executive enters his third decade atop the bank.How JPMorgan went from 3 female CEO contenders to an all-male succession raceJPMorgan named Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh, current co-heads of the bank's commercial and investment bank, as co-presidents, setting them up as the frontrunners to succeed longtime CEO Jamie Dimon. Their promotions, the bank said in a press release, "are part of the Board's ongoing succession planning process."Petno and Rohrbaugh were among a handful of powerhouse candidates poised to succeed Dimon, including Jennifer Piepszak, chief operating officer, Marianne Lake, CEO of the commercial bank, and Mary Erdoes, CEO of asset and wealth management.Marianne Lake, a Potential Dimon Successor, Leaves JPMorganOne-time Retention and Continuity equity awards to the following Operating Committee members:Doug Petno, Co-President and CEO of the Commercial & Investment Bank, and Troy Rohrbaugh, Co-President and CEO of Consumer & Community Banking, in the amount of $30M each;Mary Erdoes, CEO of Asset & Wealth Management, and Jennifer Piepszak, Chief Operating Officer, in the amount of $20M each.JPMorgan Chase unveils $50 billion buyback, Goldman Sachs raises dividend after Fed stress testA 6 year study shows which CEOs are pushing RTO mandates: The ones with the biggest egosFortune 500 bosses demanding staff return to the office share one trait: narcissism, research findsA six-year study tracking corporate executives revealed that strict return-to-office (RTO) mandates are heavily driven by narcissism and executive ego, rather than actual employee productivityWharton organizational psychologist Adam Grant noted that researchers used reliable corporate proxies to quantify CEO narcissism, including the oversized scale of their compensation packages, the size of their signatures, and the prominence of their photos in company annual reports.The data showed that leaders with highly inflated self-opinions consistently coveted maximum power and status, making them the most aggressive opponents of remote work.Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan pushed hard for a 5-day-a-week return to the office. Why they're now letting employees work from homeGameStop CEO Cohen spurns $35 billion pay plan to focus on plan to buy eBayGameStop CEO on His eBay Pursuit: ‘I'm Not Going to Stop, I'm Not Going to Go Away'GameStop unveiled a compensation package worth roughly $35B for Ryan Cohen in January, hinging on a turnaround that requires him to lift the struggling company's market value more than tenfold and sharply boost its profit.In May, Cohen surprised Wall Street with an unsolicited offer to buy eBay for roughly $56 billion in cash and stock to turn the e-commerce company into a bigger competitor to Amazon.EBay's board rejected the proposal, calling the offer "neither credible nor attractive."Cohen argued that he doesn't want the package so that GameStop's leadership can fully focus on its operating performance and the planned acquisition.SpaceX handed lowest possible ESG rating by MSCI: Triple C score puts Elon Musk's company on par with Russia after 2022 invasion of UkraineMusk 'most obvious risk' following SpaceX's lowest possible ESG rating“Board of Directors: The SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES board currently has an independent majority, which enables it to more effectively fulfill its critical function of overseeing management on behalf of shareholders. The company has failed to split the roles of CEO and chairman, which may limit the board's independence from current management interests. Split CEO and chairman roles are characteristic of 67% of companies in this market.”Welltower CFO's $167 million pay package sets new recordWelltower's Tim McHugh is the new highest-paid finance chief among the biggest U.S. companies. His $167 million pay package in 2025 not only dwarfs that of his CFO peers but also outpaces the compensation of many CEOs.McHugh's pay at Welltower, a real-estate investment trust focused on rental housing for seniors, surpasses the $139 million compensation package received by Tesla's Vaibhav Taneja in 2024. This puts him more than $135 million above Alphabet's Anat Ashkenazi, the next highest-paid CFO in 2025. And it secures him a spot in the club of executives making $100 million or more, a group that remains rare.Here's what the article DID NOT MENTION: CEO Shankh Mitra: $821MGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Scientists Say New Method Turns Coffee Grounds Into High-Potency Renewable FuelAccording to a press release from South Korea's National Research Council of Science and Technology, a team of researchers at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) have developed a method to convert spent coffee waste into high-quality charcoal, known as biochar.While that's a feat in and of itself, the kicker is the method's blistering speed: it takes just 90 seconds from start to finish, with no drawn-out drying process or oil separation required. According to the release, the new technique solves a major issue in extracting the latent energy potential of spent coffee beans.DR: Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate DR MMThe bill would incrementally increase the minimum wage from its current rate of $7.25, with the first jump to $12 an hour in the first year of enactment. Major corporations would have six years to work up to a $25 minimum wage, while smaller employers would have a 13-year runway. The legislation would also do away with subminimum wages for tipped workers, such as restaurant servers, youth workers and workers with disabilities. Nearly half of the American workforce makes less than $25 an hour.DR: Federal judge blocks new law aimed at ESG, DEI investing decisionsA federal judge has blocked Kansas from enforcing a new law that requires institutional investment advisers to make certain disclosures when recommending against company management on issues, including environmental, social and governance principles.U.S. District Judge Holly Teeter on Wednesday issued a preliminary injunction halting enforcement of law enacted last session that two major national institutional investment advisers said was unconstitutional because it discriminated based on speech.MM: MacKenzie Scott alone accounted for one-third of America's $19.2 billion in megagifts last yearAssholiest of the Week (MM):CEO SPEED ROUND - ONE HEADLINE, ONE CEO, ONE LINERTim Cook - It's pretty sweet to quit your job and let the new guy fight the union: Apple closed America's first unionized store and blocked workers from transfers — now the union is fighting backJamie Dimon - It was easy - we just pointed to the ones with boobs and said “Not you”: How JPMorgan went from 3 female CEO contenders to an all-male succession raceZuck - The best thing about being a little man king with no accountability is I can randomly change and unchange and rechange my mind… about people's lives: Meta pauses an AI training program that tracks employees' keystrokes after an internal leakLarry Fink - Have you SEEN the size of my signature???

The higher the score, the more likely a CEO was to publicly oppose remote and hybrid work and seek additional status (like a board chairmanship). In a separate experiment, CEOs whose egos were primed—by reflecting on the assertive leadership styles of Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison—showed significantly greater opposition to working from home than a control group”Andy Jassy - Now we know EXACTLY when you're wasting our time peeing in a bottle instead of working: Amazon is on a mission to optimize warehouse work.

The "dark enlightenment" movement today, spearheaded by Curtis Yarvin, seeks to achieve something similar to what Technocracy Inc., and Elon Musk's maternal grandfather Joshua Haldeman, strived for nearly a hundred years ago. Yarvin wants to replace the current U.S. Government with a technocratic-monarchy ruled by a king, whereas Haldeman wanted to replace market-based economics and political governance with a system where experts made decisions based on data, efficiency and technological feasibility. TI pushed to merge all of the Americas and Greenland into a massive union, which should resonate with the recent developments over Canada and Greenland. Both movements are absolutely alive and well within the Trump/Vance administration. While Trump pushes technocrats into positions of power and authority, Vance is positioned to take control during the next election cycle. In fact, Vance obtained his political philosophy from Yarvin and his education and income initially from Peter Thiel, a blood-transfusing so-called Christian obsessed with the anti-christ. According to Larry Ellison, much of the modern technocracy is being developed in Israel. At the recent JNS conference, Jews and Christians gathered to talk about endless wars for Israel, advanced weapons waiting to be deployed against critics, and what happens to people who resist -- they lose access to the world via a "mark of the beast." *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I look at how Oracle's leadership transition reflects Larry Ellison's long-term succession plan. Highlights 00:05 — I wanted to mention here that after 40 years, the long-running show called Larry Ellison's Story Hour has ended. Now, I'm taking a little bit of license here. The Story Hour was the quarterly earnings call for Oracle, and it was 40 years ago that Oracle went public. 00:30 — While he would certainly talk occasionally about the numbers, the financial results, he used those occasions, those earnings calls, to tell the stories of what was going on not just within Oracle, but in the outside world, the direction in which technology was headed, where the business world was headed, and then where the technology was following. 01:15 — Larry Ellison did not make any opening remarks for the first time in 40 years. Last week on their Q4 earnings call, Ellison wasn't even on the call itself. The three executives handled everything. I believe they did a great job, so no disrespect toward them, but it's just kind of not going to be the same. 02:24 — In about two months, Larry Ellison is going to have his 82nd birthday. He has been building up to this moment for about the last 12 years. Larry Ellison, I think, clearly believes he does not need to be on these earnings calls anymore because the company is in great hands with its new CEOs. 04:10 — I am not trying to say that Larry Ellison is riding off into any sunset, but I do think it was just a momentous occasion here when he decided 40 years of the Larry Ellison Story Hour on these earnings calls is enough, and time for a new chapter. Larry Ellison has a lot of work in a lot of different areas, and clearly he is deeply focused on them. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire, with the IPO of his company SpaceX.
