Don't Blame Taco Bell

from JWSP · host Alex Midway and Eric Halsey

This week's "Who Said It" comes from a group of millionaires with a message for their new Prime Minister — and once you hear who they are and what they're asking for, it reframes every financial story in the rest of the episode in a very satisfying way.Tesla had a rough earnings week and the stock is feeling it — but don't worry, the robot is coming. SpaceX keeps sliding toward a reckoning that a certain lockup period is about to accelerate, and the world's first trillionaire is no longer the world's first trillionaire. We have a moment of silence ready.Ukraine went back to the same shopping mall twice this week — different locations, same results — and the response from the founder has us revisiting a very specific Star Wars analogy. The sellers trying to get their stuff back are running into a message that tells the whole story in four words. The new Commander in Chief has made his intentions clear, and with a very familiar face back in his old role, the forecast for Russian logistics is not improving.The House took a swing at banning lawmakers from trading stocks — and the vote breakdown, the poison pill tucked inside, and the follow-up from a bipartisan group tells you everything about how seriously anyone in DC actually wants this to happen. Meanwhile Trump just signed a nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia, and once you map out the Kushner payments, the Trump Organization contract, the Abraham Accords conditions, and what "domestic uranium enrichment" has meant in every other recent news cycle — we'll let you connect those dots yourself.And then there's the Taco Bell story. We will not spoil the Taco Bell story. Just know that Eric has strong feelings, the FDA changed their mind, and there is a billionaire involved. Live Más.Got feedback? We want to hear it.
