Send us a textIn today's daily drop, Peaches blasts through the latest ops headlines like a Hellfire through a Toyota Hilux. From exposing our hilariously thin missile reserves to roasting tech bros whose drones crumble outside PowerPoint presentations, this one's a full-body workout in situational awareness. AFRICOM's been busy lighting up Somalia, the National Guard's turning Northern Michigan into a drone graveyard, and Space Force is slinging lasers and quantum gadgets into orbit like it's Star Wars cosplay. Meanwhile, Air Force Global Strike Command promises a “seamless” transition—LOL—and another Humvee goes full NASCAR in Wyoming. Also, Tricare might finally stop fleecing military families for having adult kids. That's not just news, that's a miracle. Buckle up, team. This episode's got more truth than a cleared EPR.

IRAN: REPORTS OF THE ENRICHED URANIUM STOCKPILE. MALCOLM HOENLEIN @CONF_OF_PRES @MHOENLEIN1@THADMCCOTTER @THEAMGREATNESS1866 PERSIA

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:    First—an Israeli intelligence assessment has reportedly concluded that some of Iran's underground stockpile of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium survived last month's bombing campaign by the US. We'll have the details. Later in the show—President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both say they are “very close” to securing a ceasefire in Gaza, as Hamas tentatively agrees to release 10 hostages as part of the talks. But key sticking points remain, and Israeli officials caution there's no guarantee of a breakthrough. Plus—the UK and France agree to a first-ever nuclear weapons pact, which would see Europe's only two nuclear powers coordinate their atomic arsenals if the continent is threatened. In our 'Back of the Brief—an Iranian fundraiser to kill Donald Trump has reportedly raised more than $40 million dollars following a fatwa issued by Iranian clerics calling for the president's death.

Charles Funk from Heliostar Metals discusses the company's recent assay results from La Colorada, cash flow potential from stockpiles, and future plans for exploration and pit expansions. He also provides insights into the upcoming technical report, production updates, and the regulatory environment in Mexico, while touching on the political landscape affecting the mining industry.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has halted part of military aid to Ukraine following a review of U.S. stockpiles.

In this company update, Charles Funk, President and CEO of Heliostar Metals (TSX.V:HSTR - OTCQX:HSTXF - FRA: RGG1), joins me to break down the latest drill results from the Truckshop stockpile at the La Colorada Project, and how these low-capex sources of gold could fund the next stage of development. Key Topics: Truckshop Stockpile Drill Results: Comparing drill result average grade to the grades currently being mined from the Junkyard stockpile. Development Pathway: Stockpiles are part of a phased approach - starting with low-cost processing, then open-pit expansions, followed by underground potential. Upcoming Plans: Internal resource and metallurgy studies to fast-track Truckshop material to production possibly by year-end. El Dorado Stockpile drilling begins soon - expected to be a major source of 2026 production. Ana Paula Project: 15,000-meter drill program underway; results expected later this summer. Financial Position: Ended Q1 with $27M cash and no debt, funding aggressive exploration and development without dilution. Charles also previews an upcoming technical report on pit expansions and hints at longer-term growth through untapped exploration potential at La Colorada.

The more money I made the less I had. Al Pacino, legendary Hollywood actor Despite earning millions from hit movies such as The Godfather trilogy, Scarface and The Scent of a Woman, Al Pacino was almost broke TWICE at the height of his fame and fortune. Living “high on the hog”, spending $3-400,000 per MONTH! Flying private jets and renting a huge house in Beverley Hills for 20 years! He once flew his family and nannies on a private Gulfstream 500 to London and took an entire floor at the Dorchester. He left his finances in the hands of a crooked accountant to the celebrities, who was later sentenced to seven years in jail for running a Ponzi scheme. Pacino loved acting but admits that he was not paying attention to his finances and failed to invest. In his book, Sonny Boy, he said, “I would give money away because I had it” and “it didn't feel real, but it was, as I later found out”. “The amount of money I was spending was so f****** crazy, a montage of loss” the Godfather star added.  Pacino said when you make $10 million dollars for a movie you don't get $10 million dollars. After lawyers, agents and the government take their share you end up with around $4 million. His living expenses alone were at least that amount before he put his own cash into arthouse films which made no money and in many cases were not even distributed.  Things were out of control as his staff and expenses expanded. He owned two cars, but was paying for sixteen, along with multiple cell phones, salaries and a $400,000 a year for a landscaper on a house he didn't even own! The list goes on and the star wasn't even signing his own cheques and his money was draining out faster than a leaking pipe. Hangers on took advantage of Pacino's generosity as his staff and expenses eventually grew beyond his means.  He said, the more money he made the less he had! What can we learn from Pacino's mistakes? You don't have to be a movie star to experience the same issues. Managing your money is important whether you're making $100,000 a year or $100 million!

Today we were thrilled to welcome our good friend Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes, former Deputy Director for Batteries and Critical Materials at the U.S. Department of Energy, to our offices in Houston. Ashley brings more than a decade of experience in acquiring, financing, and developing greenfield and brownfield mining projects, with deep expertise across the global mining supply chain. She served in the Biden Administration from January 2024 to January 2025, overseeing deployment of capital and tax incentives into the U.S. battery supply chain. Prior to her government service, Ashley was Co-Founder and President of Black Mountain Metals and Black Mountain Exploration. We were delighted to host Ashley for a timely and insightful conversation on the state of the global metals and minerals landscape. In our discussion, we explore the bipartisan consensus on reducing U.S. dependence on foreign-sourced metals and minerals, particularly from China. Ashley shares her experience at the DOE and her goal to buy down demand risk to attract private capital, especially for large-scale processing infrastructure. We discuss the surge of investment and momentum in lithium brine projects in the U.S. along with efforts to accelerate domestic mining, including the Trump Administration's move to expedite permits for 20 projects. Ashley outlines the tension between the desire to onshore more production and the current lack of downstream markets outside China, which remains a bottleneck for full supply chain development in the U.S. She shares innovative developments in processing methods, including China's nickel conversion efforts in Indonesia, the potential for copper to be codified as a critical mineral in upcoming legislation, and why permitting reform and seabed mining are bandaids for the larger challenge of unit economics in the U.S. Ashley further explains the difficulty in making margins at each U.S. supply chain stage, especially when compared to China's vertically integrated structure and non-profit-driven strategy, the benefits of targeted tariffs to protect nascent U.S. industries, and the lack of U.S. processing as the true choke point. She highlights the decline of U.S. stockpiles from Cold War levels to today, how the materials once stockpiled fueled the Allied victory in WWII, the depleted reserves in the U.S. today, the complexities involved in the U.S. minerals agreement with Ukraine, challenges in raising capital for mining projects, and the limited investor base. We also examine how structured government support will be essential for the U.S. to be competitive, Ashley's next steps in her pursuit of sourcing and supporting “weird and wonderful” mining transactions, and more. As you will hear, Ashley offers a unique mix of policy insight, deep market understanding, and a genuine passion for rebuilding the U.S. industrial base. We're thankful for her time and insights. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by noting that broader markets were down marginally for the day and that “Trumpatility” appears to be temporarily subsiding. He highlighted a handful of notable developments in energy markets over the past week, first being OPEC+ agreeing to another ~400kbpd increase in June oil production in addition to the ~400kbpd production increase in May, both of which are being done into an oversupplied global oil market. Saudi seems to be the main driver of the OPEC+ increases and offered several reasons for their actions at this juncture. The second development relates to a big change in E&P mindset that's occurred over the last couple of weeks at these lower oil price levels (high $50s/low $60s). A handful of E&Ps recently announced cuts to their 2025 capital programs (CTRA, EOG & FANG) and others are fully expected to announce cuts this week and next. The final development was Diamondback Energy's recent Letter to Stockholders (linked

For many automakers the current market is clear as mud. Production shifts are being proposed as tariffs are hitting their supply chains, and pricing and buyer behavior are such a question mark that some have withdrawn their full year forecasts.But one EV brand may have had the foresight to get ahead of the drama.Carscoops recently reported that Rivian has been quietly amassing a “secret stockpile” of key components since before the 2024 election.They say that, because of this “refreshingly proactive strategy,” the California-based company is now sitting on a sizable stockpile of batteries.

Tariffs, fear, and stockpiling—oh my! Don and Tom break down how consumer sentiment, not just consumer spending, is shifting dramatically under the weight of tariff uncertainty. They connect behavioral shifts—like Googling “recession” and panic-buying tires—to bigger economic signals and what it all means for investors. From the role of emergency savings to the misleading pitch of indexed annuities, they dismantle hype and stress the importance of sticking to a real plan. They also field smart questions on Roth conversions, muni bonds, and whether now is the time to invest that idle cash.

From the BBC World Service: Australia is planning to stockpile minerals like lithium, nickel and cobalt, which are vital in modern technology. It comes as countries like the United States aim to counter China's dominance in global processing capabilities. Then, the United Kingdom is closing a tax loophole used by Chinese retail giants Shein and Temu to help keep prices low. And later: a trip to Shanghai's motor.

President Trump understands that our reliance on foreign countries to supply us with critical prescription medications is an unacceptable national security threat – which is why his administration is taking aim at the industry. President Trump intends to use tariffs to bring the production of critical prescription medications BACK to the United States. It’s a bold and absolutely necessary move to protect our fragile healthcare sysyem. But it isn’t going to be painless. In the short term, it could mean skyrocketing prices, delayed access, and empty store shelves. Trump’s new tariffs are hitting imports hard and while pharmaceuticals were given a brief exemption, the White House was clear: the industry is on notice. Drug companies that don’t move operations back to the U.S. will, as Trump says, “have a big tax to pay.” Translation? Sooner or later, the cost of your medications is going up. The Wellness Company prides itself on pushing back against censorship and tyranny. It's why it has developed a series of prescription drug medical emergency kits that prescribed directly to you and delivered to your door to use incase of an emergency.

Amid rising threats from war, climate change and disease, the EU is urging every household to stockpile enough food and supplies to last three days in case of a crisis. Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib also called for building up the EU's strategic reserves of critical resources to respond to "every type of emergency including chemical, biological and nuclear threats". Plus, amid Donald Trump's tariff wars, a majority of French adults are in favour of boycotting American goods.

Trump Orders Bitcoin Reserve, Digital Asset Stockpile; U.S. and Ukraine Plan Meeting in Saudi Arabia | NTD Good Morning

**Discussion begins at 3:15**World War II was a global conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945, involving the Allies (primarily the U.S, UK, and Soviet Union) fighting against the Axis powers, led by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy. The war resulted in massive destruction, the Holocaust, and the reshaping of international power dynamics, ultimately leading to the formation of the United Nations and the beginning of the Cold War.  During the war, the Nazis looted vast amounts of wealth, including gold, art, jewelry, and other precious materials. Much of the gold came from the central banks of occupied countries, particularly Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Poland. They also seized gold from Jewish families, including rings, teeth fillings, and other personal items.  As Germany faced inevitable defeat, high-ranking Nazi officials began to move large amounts of this looted wealth, including gold, out of sight. There were reports that huge amounts of gold were secretly stored in vaults, and some Nazi leaders began transferring the gold to places like Switzerland, where neutral banks could hold it safely.  There are also theories that gold was hidden in underground bunkers, caves, or remote locations across Europe, either to be recovered later or to be kept out of the hands of the Allies.  What do we know about the Nazi Gold, and is there more still out there?Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

It was an abrupt about-face. Last Thursday, federal employees at the agency that manages the U.S. stockpile of nuclear weapons were suddenly let go by the Trump administration, with some employees receiving the news late Thursday night.Then, as early as the next morning, some of those firings were reversed, with employees being told they should come back to work.The White House has struggled to reach some of the employees it fired to tell them that they still have their jobs.We discuss what's happening at the Department of Energy's agency for our nuclear stockpile and what this latest firing of federal employees could mean for our security.Want to support 1A?

When a report has an opening like this, you know you have to find a way to get the author on Midrats.As a nation, we are in an undeclared state of emergency.…This is a hot Cold War II. The West has empirically lost deterrence. We must respond to this emergency to regain it.We have a peer adversary: China. “Near-Peer” is a shibboleth, a euphemism to avoid the embarrassment of acknowledging we have peers when we were once peerless. That quote is from The Defense Reformation, written last October by Shyam Sankar the Chief Technology Officer for Palantir.So many of the issues my cohost and I have been covering on Midrats the last decade and a half; personnel reform, Goldwater-Nichols, COCOM reform, the accretion encumbered acquisition program, and more are not just addressed in Sankar's 18 Thesis, as I outlined in my Substack on it a few months ago, he provides solutions and new approaches.Get a fresh cup of coffee, relax, and enjoy an impactful hour of conversation for those interested in reforming the US military towards a stronger, more responsive steward of our nation's defense.SummaryIn this conversation, Sal, Mark, and Shyam Sankar discuss the need for innovation within the Department of Defense. They explore historical parallels, the importance of creativity, and the role a Silicon Valley mindset can have in national security. The discussion emphasizes the need for agility in budgeting, the impact of monopsony on procurement, and the significance of software in modern warfare. They also highlight the importance of founders and innovative thinking in driving change within the defense sector.TakeawaysThe historical context of the Reformation can inform modern defense strategies.Creativity and innovation are essential for overcoming bureaucratic structures in defense.Silicon Valley's involvement in defense technology is crucial for national security.Lessons from the automotive industry can be applied to improve defense procurement.Founders play a vital role in driving innovation and change in organizations.People, processes, and policies must be aligned to optimize defense operations.Monopsony in defense procurement limits competition and innovation.Agility in budgeting is necessary to respond to changing defense needs.Stockpiles are less important than the ability to produce weapons quickly.Software is a key component in achieving asymmetric advantages in warfare.Chapters00:00: Introduction to Defense Reformation03:21: Historical Context: The Reformation and Defense Reform06:18: Creativity and Innovation in Defense09:04: The Role of Silicon Valley in National Security11:42: The Legacy of McNamara and Defense Management14:30: Protecting Innovative Personalities in Defense17:14: The Need for Modernization in Defense Policies20:05: Monopsony in Defense Procurement22:59: Encouraging Founders and Innovation in Defense32:36: The Nature of Venture Capital and Innovation33:08: Learning from Failure: The SpaceX Approach34:21: Breaking Down Bureaucracy: The Need for Reinvention36:24: Institutionalizing Rebellion: Encouraging Innovation38:46: Leveraging Free Market Principles in Military Operations41:06: The Role of Combatant Commanders in Defense Budgeting43:09: Reassessing Cost-Plus Contracting in Defense46:23: The Need for Agility in Budget Processes49:11: The Importance of Production Over Stockpiles52:58: Empowering Decision-Making in Military Leadership57:41: Harnessing Software as a National Superpower
