On this week’s Wrap Party, Zeth is talking about the Hollywood Blacklist, the Hollywood Ten, Dalton Trumbo, and Lucille Ball. Later, inspired by the recent success of the films ‘Backrooms’ and ‘Obsession,’ he’s joined by Jake Brennan to give recommendations for albums and movies made by younger creators.

We saw both “Backrooms” and “Obsession” over the past two weekends and were blown away by the not only the movies themselves, but by just how many other people turned out to see them. “Obsession” continues to rise in its third week, a never before seen phenomenon. While “Backrooms” blew away the competition, bringing in a record breaking box office number by the youngest director in movie history. Both films cost very little to make, and are likely to change the way we make movies going forward. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With this marking the second attempted attack in just one month, concerns are intensifying over whether current security measures are enough.

María José Espinosa on the unprecedented crisis in Cuba.For more than sixty years, the United States has waged an economic war against Cuba. The sanctions first imposed in 1960 were designed, in the words of a secret State Department memorandum, to bring about "hunger, desperation and overthrow of government." Six decades later, the sanctions pressure has reached unprecedented levels. In January 2026, the Trump administration signed an executive order blocking oil shipments to the island, which the United Nations has since described as "energy starvation." President Trump has threatened military intervention. Federal prosecutors have indicted Raúl Castro, including for the charge of murder. But at the same time, Washington is sending envoys to Havana and offering aid, suggesting that Cuban leaders could choose a "new path."What is driving this escalation? What does it mean for Cubans already living through a humanitarian crisis? And is there any path out that does not demand further suffering from a population that has already paid an enormous price? María José Espinosa is the Executive Director of the Center for Engagement and Advocacy In The Americas and a non-resident Fellow at the Center for International Policy. She is a Cuban economist and foreign policy expert with more than twelve years of experience in policy research, advocacy, and international relations. María is also a member of the Bologna Initiative for Sanctions Relief. The Sanctions Age is hosted by Esfandyar Batmanghelidj and Josefine Petrick.To receive an email when new episodes are released, access episode transcripts, and read the hosts reflections on each episode, sign-up for the The Sanctions Age newsletter on Substack: https://www.thesanctionsage.com/

Drawing on his time in Moscow during the early 1990s, Michael McFaul describes the revolutionary transition from Gorbachev's reforms to the radicalism of the Yeltsin era. He highlights the unprecedented uncertainty of the Soviet collapse and the subsequent failure of the West to invest in Russia's democratic consolidation. McFaul notes that the 1992 U.S. election's focus on domestic issues distracted from providing critical political and economic assistance. Unlike the post-WWII era, the lack of a perceived external threat led to complacency about the "end of history." He stresses that supporting institutional demand for democracy is vital for long-term stability. (3/8)1900 BRUSSELS

This week, the Justice Department announced the shocking creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund as part of a controversial settlement of President Trump's lawsuit against the IRS, which would allow Trump to funnel taxpayer money to his allies and supporters. Asha and Renato are joined by Georgetown Law Professor David Super to break down the dubious legal basis for the fund, analyze why the underlying lawsuit was collusive litigation, and discuss how the Constitution could prevent January 6 rioters from receiving payments from the fund. Then, Renato and Asha discuss a much-criticized order by the Supreme Court last week that upended the Alabama primaries. The Court's order allows the state to use congressional maps that would eliminate a majority-Black district, even though early voting began weeks ago. Listen now!

In this episode, Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO of QI Research and former Fed insider, explains why she's "less fed up" despite disagreeing with Fed policy - praising Jerome Powell's decision to stay on as governor to protect Fed independence, drawing parallels to Marriner Eccles' 1948 stand against President Truman. Danielle calls Powell's move "patriotic" while warning we're "flirting with a liquidity crisis" as non-banks have become "too big to fail." She discusses the challenges Kevin Warsh will face as incoming chair, argues the Fed has failed its employment mandate, and explains how the economy cannot withstand persistently high oil prices and interest rates simultaneously.Links: Danielle's Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/dimartinobooth Substack: https://dimartinobooth.substack.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielleDiMartinoBoothQIFed Up: https://www.amazon.com/Fed-Up-Insiders-Federal-Reserve/dp/0735211655Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction - Fed day with Danielle DiMartino Booth0:32 Powell's last time at the podium - Takeaways1:48 The Eccles parallel - Fed independence fight in 19482:39 Why Danielle is "less fed up" today2:57 The Powell move - Staying on as governor4:20 Risk of being perceived as shadow Fed chair?5:39 Triple hawkish dissent 6:16 Unprecedented dissent levels - Early resistance signs?7:57 Powell's legacy and how it changed today9:22 The Eccles legacy - Established as governor, not chair10:27 Powell's move was "patriotic" - Protecting Fed independence11:27 What is your read on Kevin Warsh?12:48 Liquidity crises take precedence - The Mike Tyson test13:40 0% chance of rate cut - Should they have cut?14:47 Fed has failed its employment mandate16:48 Oil prices and disinflationary demand destruction17:17 Bankruptcies accelerating, layoffs increasing18:01 Home prices falling - Thinking about inflation wrong19:16 The valley of death at $100k income level19:32 Higher for longer means more pain20:34 How does building consensus at the Fed work?22:04 Flirting with a liquidity crisis - How big is the risk?22:38 Pummeling the housing market23:26 More sellers than buyers - Biggest disconnect ever24:09 Investment boom or panic stockpiling ahead of tariffs?25:27 Economy can't withstand high oil and high rates28:07 Base case for rest of 2026 - Fed cuts30:43 If you could advise Kevin Warsh, what would you say?32:17 Bloomberg chat - hot takes with institutional investors33:34 What's keeping you up at night and making you hopeful?35:37 Non-banks now too big to fail37:06 Systemic risk from non-banking system37:25 Mother's Day tribute - Legacy and three graduating kids38:03 Closing thoughts

This week, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche unveiled a federal indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, a storied civil rights organization, and said it was defrauding its donors and “funding” right-wing extremist groups. Asha and Renato discuss how the narrative put forth in the indictment is totally misleading, why the legal theory in the case is disingenuous and whether the indictment is just to throw a bone to the MAGA base. Then, they turn to the bombshell report in The Atlantic that claimed FBI Director Kash Patel has been excessively drinking on the job and putting national security at risk. Renato and Asha evaluate Patel's subsequent defamation lawsuit against the magazine and review the “actual malice” standard.

Whether or not we want to acknowledge it, we're in a new era of climate investing. Unprecedented uncertainty, federal policy upheaval in the United States, repeated energy shocks from wars, inflation, high interest rates, a persisting liquidity crunch, the AI data center boom – much has happened, the game has changed and investors are thinking very differently about climate than they did just a few years ago. Three expert climate finance advisors who have worked in climate finance for decades set out to understand what has changed in climate investing. Dan Firger, Will Coleman, and Bill Tarr are highly respected thought leaders and strategic advisors working with large family offices, foundations and prominent climate investors. They teamed up and interviewed over 150 investors and experts to develop Climate Capital Reset Project, a detailed account of the new thinking defining this new era of climate investing. We spoke about the trends reshaping climate finance today, emerging dynamics, recommendations for capital allocators, considerations for philanthropists, and much more. Dan, Will, and Bill's report will likely be one of the most influential pieces written on climate finance this year. It's already the basis for closed-door consultations and convenings with prominent investors, and our conversation shed incredible light on the new paradigms already driving climate finance today.

Australia is experiencing an unprecedented snake invasion as the El Niño cycle upends traditional hibernation patterns, driving snakes from bushlands into urban coastal areas seeking the heat retained by concrete and steel structures. Some suburbs report up to 300 calls weekly for snake removals, as species like Eastern Browns and Coastal Taipans pursue urban food sources. Zakis notes that experts predict this southward migration will continue over the next 25 years, meaning snakes may remain a year-round threat. (2)1934 SYDNEY

This week, Trump published some of his most inflammatory social posts ever, threatening that a “whole civilization will die” in Iran and prompting both Democrats and prominent right-wing voices to call for his removal under the 25th Amendment. Asha and Renato discuss how destroying civilian infrastructure or wiping out an entire country constitutes a war crime, and they explain how the 25th Amendment would work in practice. Plus, they discuss a recent DOJ Office of Legal Counsel opinion that claimed the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional. Renato and Asha break down the nonsensical reasoning laid out in the memo and analyze why it's trying to give cover to Trump's handling of White House documents during his second term. Listen up!
