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.

This week's "Who Said It" is a dollar figure — and once you find out what it's describing and who said it, the rest of the financial news in this episode is going to land very differently.Tesla and SpaceX are both sliding and Wall Street has a very creative explanation for why that's actually fine — we found a fund manager who wants you to stop paying attention to measurables, and we have some thoughts on that philosophy. Elon also tweeted something during a scrubbed launch that briefly sent the stock up, and we genuinely cannot tell if that's inspiring or terrifying.Ukraine's leadership shakeup this week raised some eyebrows — a popular and highly effective minister is out, protests broke out in Kyiv, and the reason behind the split tells you a lot about the fault lines forming between the old guard and the new way of fighting this war. Ukraine then went ahead and made its feelings known by hitting something in Russia so large and so economically significant that the timing — given a very recent change to the fine print — is almost too perfect.Pete Hegseth has a new military readiness initiative and it involves testosterone. Mandatory testosterone screening, to be precise, with optional treatment for anyone who needs a little help on the "leading edge of lethality." We are a veteran and we have a lot to say about this — including some thoughts on what actual battlefield readiness smells like, and it's not what Pete thinks.The Take Care of America's Veterans Act has a name that sets expectations and a Section 108 that destroys them. Multiple major veterans organizations are furious, a cartoon has been published, and two Republican members responded by trying to investigate the VFW. We walk through exactly what's at stake for the people who actually earned the benefits being negotiated away.And then there was the speech — 25 minutes on the 2020 election, a document dump that turns out to be mostly nothing, evidence of something the legacy media conspicuously forgot to mention, and a Fox News correspondent who interrupted his own recap approximately every nine words for legal reasons. John Solomon's post-speech interview with a reporter is something you need to hear to believe.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" is a Truth Social post about the Strait of Hormuz that reads like it was written by a medieval toll booth operator who just discovered all caps — and it sets up everything that follows perfectly.Tesla keeps sliding and SpaceX just got humbled by something China landed on a platform, which tells you everything about where the hype-to-reality ratio currently sits. We also have a war portfolio update that involves Greta Thunberg showing up somewhere she maybe didn't fully research before chaining herself to the fence.Ukraine is doing things with maritime drones that have genuinely never been done before in the history of warfare — and the reason the Kerch Bridge is still standing turns out to be a masterclass in strategy that's worth understanding. Russia meanwhile is hearing sounds at home that Ukrainians have been living with for four years, and the tugboat situation has taken a turn that DMX would have appreciated.Nine EU nations just threw down a serious challenge to the IOC over Russia's readmission to international sport — and we have some thoughts about the countries conspicuously absent from that list. A US Olympic athlete is facing a felony charge over the reflecting pool, Jeanine Pirro has declared it one of the most offensive things she's ever seen, and we're going to need a moment to process that statement given everything else that's happened in the last four years.Trump has declared America the Guardian of the Strait of Hormuz and is charging a 20% toll on all cargo — which raises some fascinating questions about the definition of piracy, international maritime law, and what exactly differentiates us from the Iranians we spent months bombing for doing something similar. Mike Johnson explained why we need $350 billion more for the Pentagon and the reason involves a boogeyman that retired sometime around 1991.And then Lindsay Graham died. We have a lot to say about that — including what the internet decided to do with the news approximately four minutes after it broke, the NDA situation, and the very DEI-flavored replacement process that followed.Link to the Russian soldier videoIs this footage supposedly from a Russian military training AI?

This week's "Who Said It" comes from someone who apparently didn't get the memo that the Supreme Court is supposed to be the final word — and their response to losing a 6-3 decision is going to tell you a lot about where this episode is headed.Tesla's getting a boost from Wall Street optimism that seems blissfully unaware of what's happening in New Jersey, and SpaceX keeps quietly sliding in ways the hype hasn't caught up with yet. We also have a theory about why Trump suddenly wants Ukraine making its own Patriot missiles — and it has a lot more to do with protecting a defense contractor's bottom line than it does with helping Ukraine win a war.Ukraine had one of its most productive stretches of the entire conflict — we're talking a number of Russian ships in the Black and Azov seas that's going to make you do a double take, plus a drone strike that reached somewhere so far inside Russia that the distance alone changes the conversation entirely. Russia is now rationing fuel in over half the country and the guy in charge is calling it temporary. Sure.The birthright citizenship fight got a new chapter this week — a fresh-faced congressman is ready to impress the boss, Brett Kavanaugh inadvertently handed them a roadmap, and the odds of the Supreme Court granting a rehearing haven't been this low since roughly 1965. We run the numbers and let you decide what that means.Trump is removing Syria from the state sponsor of terrorism list — and once we walk you through the current Syrian president's resume, the move becomes one of the more interesting judgment calls of the administration. We also chart what's happened to America's terrorism list over the last decade and the pattern is something else.The NATO summit went fine, which by current standards qualifies as a triumph. Grift Force One made its debut on the way out and then quietly didn't make the return trip. Microsoft laid off thousands the same week they got approved for thousands of H-1B visas. And a data center in Wyoming contaminated the local water supply in a way that makes the Terminator 2 anniversary feel a little too on the nose.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" comes straight from the world of competitive sports — and the person who said it somehow manages to make winning sound just as unhinged as losing.Tesla and SpaceX are moving in very different directions this week, and the Wall Street reasoning behind one of those moves involves a comparison that tells you everything about how disconnected the analysis has gotten. We have thoughts, and they involve Robert Downey Jr.Putin made a very dramatic trip to the "front lines" this week — and once you hear the production details involved, you'll understand why we put that in quotes. Trump also made some very confident promises about ending the war during a lengthy phone call with Russia, which lands a little differently when you remember what he said the timeline would be. Ukraine meanwhile is sending something new over the border that starts with a balloon and ends with a missile, and over a thousand of them are already in the air before it's even been officially named.The Mitch McConnell situation has gone from "resting comfortably" to something considerably murkier — nobody has seen or heard from him directly in weeks, his wife left the country, and the chain of people vouching for his health is raising more eyebrows than it's lowering. We walk through the Kentucky succession laws and let you connect the dots.The Fourth of July in DC had some uninvited guests who went to great lengths to claim they weren't who they obviously were — and the rebuttal from certain Fox News personalities raises questions about whether they've ever actually met an antifa member. The reflecting pool has a new contractor. The White House is getting a helicopter pad. And we close with a running tally of everything being built, renamed, paved over, or gold-plated while a bipartisan housing bill sits in the trash — and we're the villains in our own story.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" involves some unemployment math that is either very creative or very confused — we'll let you decide which.Tesla's making moves for reasons that sound better than they actually are, SpaceX keeps climbing in ways that have nothing to do with rockets, and the White House just launched a new financial product for kids that raises some very interesting questions about who actually gets to pick the winners.Ukraine had arguably its most productive week of the war — multiple high value targets, some very satisfying footage, and a development near a very famous bridge that has us reaching for the good glasses. Russia meanwhile is having serious supply problems that are showing up at the pump in ways that would make even the most patient driver lose their mind. Steven Seagal is also moving, if you're in the market.Back home, Trump vetoed a bill so bipartisan the numbers will make your head spin — and once you hear what was actually in it, the veto becomes one of the harder things to explain to his own base. There's a new piece of décor on the White House that's giving us very specific historical flashbacks. Ken Paxton was caught on camera doing something that requires some context about his personal life. And the Freedom 250 State Fair happened — sort of. The full story involves generators, a sunny day cancellation, a very telling reflection in a pair of mirrored sunglasses, and a MAGA influencer who is going to have a very bad few months.Oh, and Mitch McConnell might be dead. Happy Tuesday.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" comes courtesy of some very enthusiastic Australians at a very public event — and once you hear it, you'll understand why we led with it.Tesla briefly popped on merger rumors before a federal probe into a fatal FSD crash in Texas brought it right back down. Turns out murder is still bad for stock prices, even in the golden age. SpaceX meanwhile continues its post-IPO slide and the numbers are starting to tell a story about the gap between hype and gravity.Ukraine had a complicated week — Zelensky made a baffling unit naming decision that cost him a major diplomatic award from one of Ukraine's most loyal allies, and we genuinely cannot figure out the logic. ChatGPT was right there, man. On the brighter side, Ukraine is systematically dismantling Russia's oil infrastructure across Crimea and the Krasnodar region — gas sales in Crimea are currently suspended — and a Russian war blogger named Fighterbomber accidentally became Ukraine's most valuable drone spotter. The Michael Scott meme that followed is chef's kiss.Washington DC is about to get a new mayor and Trump is already threatening to federalize the city if she wins — which tells you everything about how that race is going. Her potential victory connects to a growing political movement that's starting to look like the new currency of progressive endorsements.The reflecting pool saga reaches a new low — vandals, apparently. Definitely vandals. Nothing to do with driving golf carts on fresh paint or hiring a contractor who looked like he was cast for a mob film. The Senate passed a war powers resolution on Iran that was bipartisan, historic, and ultimately completely irrelevant — but we'll tell you exactly which lone Democrat crossed the aisle in the wrong direction and why that matters.And we close with the most morally conflicting story of the year: a US official pushing to annex Greenland just made the strongest argument we've ever heard — and it involves all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster. We're not proud of our reaction.In case you wanted to see the Michael Scott meme the Ukrainians put up here's the link below https://xcancel.com/1usc_army/status/2068633721301856485Got feedback?

This week's "Who Said It" is three words — and once you find out who said them and in what context, it reframes pretty much everything that follows.SpaceX's IPO numbers are in and they are genuinely staggering — we're talking more money raised than Saudi Aramco, Alibaba, and Facebook combined, for a company that posted losses in Q1. We break down what that actually means, who's really benefiting, and why Elon holding 46% of the shares tells you everything about who this IPO was actually for. We also take a moment to address RFK's take on autism — and the contrast with exhibit A sitting in the Oval Office is one for the ages.Ukraine wasted no time responding to the Kyiv monastery attack — Moscow just got hit with its largest drone strike of the entire war, and a refinery supplying nearly half the capital's fuel took a direct hit. Twice. There's also a new maritime drone that just debuted and the specs on this thing are going to make your jaw drop. We also take a moment to remember who's buried at that monastery — and why Russia bombing it is almost cosmically ironic.The reflecting pool is still green, Fox News has found a way to spin it, and the paint is already peeling — all within weeks of a $14 million renovation. Your co-host has a new economic theory called Piñata Economics and we promise it's the most logical thing you'll hear all episode.The Iran MOU got signed — digitally — and the response from Trump's own party ranges from deeply concerned to absolutely baffled. A classified CIA assessment adds some context that makes the whole thing even harder to celebrate. Ted Cruz has feelings. Lindsey Graham has a very convenient memory. And the week closes with a court order, a partition wall, and a president who really didn't want anyone to see his name come off a building.One of the many Moscow oil refinery memes out thereInstagramGot feedback?

This week's "Who Said It" is a prediction about Iran and negotiating skills — and depending on how you feel about recent headlines, it's either painfully accurate or about to be proven wrong in real time.Tesla's getting a boost from an unlikely source — retail investors piling in while insiders are locked out from selling — and meanwhile SpaceX just made someone the world's first trillionaire on a $2.6 trillion valuation for a company that's bleeding billions. We break down the lockup structure, the timing, and exactly when you should expect the exits to start.It was a busy weekend in Ukraine — Russia launched a massive wave of missiles including some genuinely terrifying hypersonic hardware, and a UNESCO World Heritage site took a hit in the process. There's also some real diplomatic movement worth celebrating, plus a ceasefire announcement that comes with so many asterisks we're not sure where to start — a mountain, a memorandum, and a number Trump used to describe nuclear materials that you're not going to believe.The reflecting pool saga continues and somehow gets dumber. Brooke Rollins wants credit for a screw worm program that quietly got way more expensive after DOGE supposedly "streamlined" it.And then there's the weekend's main event — a birthday extravaganza on the White House lawn that delivered some fight outcomes nobody saw coming, a culture war moment involving a sitting First Lady's husband that we're still shaking our heads at, a cursive-related conspiracy theory, a hacking claim that convinced absolutely nobody, and an infomercial moment so transparent it might be the funniest unintentional reveal of the year.Got feedback?

The episode kicks off with Trump making some eyebrow-raising comments about inflation, and the hosts break down what's actually going on with the numbers. From there, Tesla gets some time in the spotlight — the stock had an interesting day, and there's some new data out of Europe about their self-driving technology that's worth talking about.The Ukraine war hits a sobering milestone this episode. The hosts put the length of the conflict into perspective in a way that might genuinely stop you in your tracks — and then there's a significant development deep inside Russian territory that shows just how far Ukraine's reach has grown.Back stateside, the political circus delivers as always. A high-profile congresswoman's career comes to an unceremonious end in a primary, and there's some leaked audio from a Republican leader that has people asking questions about promises made to voters. One congressman's attempt to dodge a reporter on the street goes about as well as you'd expect.The World Cup is here, hosted on North American soil — but not everything about the lead-up has been celebratory. There are some real head-scratching decisions around who's been allowed in and who hasn't, including one story about a referee with an incredible backstory that will leave you frustrated.The hosts also get into a creepy-crawly public health story making a comeback in the American South, a tone-deaf celebrity moment involving a real estate ad, and close things out on a genuinely feel-good sports moment that New York hasn't seen in a long, long time.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" is about taxing the rich — coming from someone whose track record on that subject is going to make you spit out your coffee. We also have a bonus "Who Said It 2: Electric Boogaloo" buried in the back half that hits just as hard.Tesla is sliding again and the reason this time is genuinely wild — the job market was doing too well and that's bad for tech stocks, which tells you everything you need to know about whose economy this actually is. We also dig deeper into the SpaceX IPO and there's a new wrinkle involving the S&P 500, a 12-day window, and your 401k that deserves a lot more attention than it's getting.The EU just dropped what could be the biggest sanctions package on Russia yet — $1.5 trillion worth — targeting the military industrial complex, propagandists, and human rights violators. Meanwhile the American response involves lifting sanctions on Russian oil and sending a hockey team to Moscow. We look into who's behind that hockey trip and the American Chamber of Commerce's Russia chapter president has a wishlist that will have your jaw on the floor — including a very sympathetic take on Russian civilians that somehow involves Sephora.Ukraine's four-year-old missile startup just sent a cruise missile skimming along the Finnish coast headed straight for Russian ships in the Baltic. Germany's Skynex anti-drone system just entered service with Ukraine and the reviews are glowing. War portfolio update included.Dr. Oz held a White House presser on obesity and dementia while someone very important appeared to be taking a power nap in the chair behind him. Trump then showed up to the Knicks NBA Finals game, caused a traffic apocalypse, got booed during the anthem, and left at halftime — while the new NYC mayor paid a grand out of pocket for standing room and stayed the whole time. The contrast writes itself.Thomas Massie is back and this time he's calling for an investigation into Israel's 1967 attack on the USS Liberty — we walk through what actually happened that day, how clear the conditions were, and why the survivors have never bought the official explanation. And the LA mayoral primary caused a meltdown among people who apparently don't understand how vote reporting works.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" is about groceries — and the follow-up question that gets asked is the kind of thing that makes you put your phone down for a second.Tesla keeps doing Tesla things, but if you followed our war portfolio advice, you're having a much better week. There's "progress" being made in Lebanon while the strikes continue, and the defense stocks tell you everything you need to know about how anyone actually expects this to end.Russia's version of Davos kicked off in St. Petersburg this week and the US sent a representative for the first time since before 2022 — we look up who got the call and the results are something else. The guest list includes a former German chancellor Putin wanted as a "neutral" peace negotiator, a Hollywood action star with very strong pro-Kremlin opinions, and a pair of brothers you definitely know from the internet. Ukraine meanwhile had some very pointed thoughts about the timing of the forum and made sure everyone arriving knew exactly how far their drones can reach — including a corvette sitting in drydock in the Russian Baltic fleet that just became a $150 million lesson in FAFO.A Ukrainian startup that didn't exist before 2022 just successfully tested a missile that could replace the Patriot system — at a fraction of the cost — and we think this is one of the most underreported stories of the year.ICE is quietly trying to sell off the mega-warehouses they spent your tax dollars on at ten times market value, the Boeing jets Kristi Noem splurged on may be going too, and the government is about to take a bath on all of it. Dark Hunter Biden showed back up on the internet this week and genuinely won a round — we read the exchange and give credit where it's due.And finally: there is now a four-legged domed arch structure on the White House front lawn, the man who lives there is comparing it to the Eiffel Tower, and he's talking about making it permanent. We have thoughts. Many, many thoughts.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" is about qualifications — and once we tell you who said it and who they were talking about, the irony is going to hit like a freight train.Tesla slides back down and there's a new reason on the horizon that connects directly to Elon's well-documented habit of abandoning a pond once other fish show up. Meta fired 8,000 people and their AI support bot immediately handed hackers the keys to thousands of Instagram accounts — which we choose to view as an encouraging sign for the human workforce.Ukraine just inked a deal with Sweden for Gripen jets and we do a full breakdown on why this matters — the range, the runway requirements, the intake ports, and the Cold War design quirks that make it almost perfectly suited for exactly what Ukraine needs right now. It's 2027 before they arrive, which is a long time, but Russia's glide bomb advantage just got an expiration date. The French and British meanwhile intercepted a Russian shadow fleet tanker, which has us once again comparing allied contributions to America's recent highlight reel.We take a deep dive into Igor Girkin — the FSB man who wrote the blueprint for taking Ukraine back in 2013, crossed the border with 52 Russians to "organically" start a people's revolution, and was later convicted at The Hague for his role in shooting down MH17. His reason for rejecting that conviction is one of the most brazen things we've ever read out loud. We also walk through Russia's propaganda tactics with some receipts that are very hard to argue with.Jared Kushner is evicting flamingos and sea turtles in Albania, the locals are not taking it well, and the EU has some strong feelings about it heading into a meeting in Montenegro. Ukraine dropped the Operation Spiderweb footage just in time for summer — we have thoughts and so does everyone with eyes.The Freedom 250 concert lineup came together and then immediately fell apart — Milli Vanilli cancelled, Morris Day and the Time cancelled, Martina McBride cancelled, and the birthday boy rage-posted on Truth Social. The one act that didn't cancel should surprise nobody. And the booking agency running the whole thing is named after someone the White House really should have googled first.Albanian fireworks linkhttps://youtube.com/shorts/8LZ7kd18oHo?si=vVFtxEITWV_YYos9Got feedback?

This week's "Who Said It" comes from someone who is very confident they have the evidence — despite not being a doctor — and once you hear who it is, the rest of the episode will make a lot more sense.Tesla is back up and a Wall Street investor has a theory about why — and we're going to be very polite about how wrong it is. Tesla is also threatening to sue the Canadian province of Manitoba for dropping their EV incentive, which opens up a very interesting conversation about which electric vehicles are actually made in Canada. Spoiler: Tesla isn't one of them. We also revisit the SpaceX IPO valuation and ask the one question nobody seems to want to answer out loud.Ukraine keeps innovating — rocket-boosted drones, balloon launches, mobile laser platforms — while Russia's big counter-drone reveal turned out to be a scope-mounted pistol that fires a drone with no warhead at other drones. Meanwhile Russia launched an Oreshnik missile that cost somewhere between thirty and fifty million dollars and took out a couple of garages. We have the video. We also walk through Russia's claim that Ukraine targeted a college dormitory full of children — and what happens when you run the victim photos through Google image search.AIPAC posted something after Thomas Massie's primary loss that tells you everything about how they operate — and their follow-up statement about it tells you even more. A Las Vegas home was raided for a possible biolab, the charges were dropped, and the person who dropped them has a backstory that requires some explanation about a very convenient legal loophole.West Virginia is dealing with record flooding near a brand new 1,100 acre data center, and the county's voting record adds some context we couldn't resist sharing. Flushels the Clown has a new plan to end international travel at every major blue city airport to own the libs — we run the numbers on what that actually means. And we close with some news about Pam Bondi that we have very complicated feelings about, and zero intention of pretending otherwise.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" comes courtesy of the Bloodhound Gang — and if you know the song, you already know where this episode is going tonally.First up, a very important listener beef gets addressed — Boston J has some strong feelings about poutine and gravy rights, and we have some even stronger feelings back. Tesla ticks up on the SpaceX IPO filing, but once you actually read what the filing says about Tesla's involvement, the celebration might be a little premature. We break down the fine print so you don't have to.The Xi-Putin summit wrapped up and the body language alone tells you everything about where America stands in that relationship right now. Russia meanwhile is selling off its oil at bargain basement prices just to keep the war machine running — and both the US and UK have quietly found ways to keep buying it anyway. Oh, and Ukraine just figured out how to extend drone range using balloons. We're not joking.The primaries are in — and the results are going to require some conversation. Thomas Massie, who had the nerve to work across the aisle on the Epstein files, is out. Five Indiana senators who blocked gerrymandering efforts are out. And there are some vote total anomalies in Kentucky's District 4 that have people asking questions we're going to ask out loud.The big story this week is the Gaza aid flotilla — boarded in international waters, activists detained on their knees, and Israel's own Minister of National Security put out a hype video of the whole thing. We walk through what's in that video, which countries summoned their Israeli diplomats, and what the United States did instead. We also get into Hasbara — what it is, what it costs, and why one video just undid years of it.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" is five words that aged about as well as a no-bid contract — and by the end of the episode, you'll know exactly who said them and why that's so funny.Tesla slides back down and Wall Street is starting to ask the question that Tesla owners probably don't want to hear — what happens when the guy in charge has a shinier new toy? Elon posted something on X this week that got deleted by morning, but not before the internet made sure it lived forever. We read it. We have thoughts.Ukraine's drones just got a serious upgrade — think Charmander to Charizard — and Moscow's fuel supply is feeling it. Meanwhile Russia managed to hit a Chinese-owned ship on its way to Odessa, right before Putin's trip to visit Xi. That's going to be a fun conversation. And the Trump administration quietly extended Russian oil sanctions relief again, which we'll contextualize for you in the most polite way we can manage.Congress is having a moment — senators just voted to stop their own paychecks during a government shutdown, which sounds responsible until you read the part about backpay. Then Mike Johnson stepped in to explain that $174,000 a year just isn't cutting it and members of Congress need stock trading to get by. We run the numbers, compare them to the federal minimum wage, and let the audience draw their own conclusions. Congressman Jason Crow has some ideas about fixing this that we suspect will make him very popular with exactly the wrong people.Trump dropped his $10 billion IRS lawsuit this week, and buried in the fine print of the settlement is something that should make everyone stop and read it twice. The reflecting pool has a new look that cost a lot more than advertised. And Kentucky's primary today has more foreign money flowing into a single House seat than you'd believe — we do the math on a per-resident basis and it's genuinely staggering.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" is directed squarely at a very specific type of keyboard warrior, and we promise it lands perfectly given what's in the news this week.Tesla's having a week — the Cybertruck is back in recall territory for a reason that's going to make you think twice about hard cornering, and Elon posted something on X that was deleted by morning but not before the internet got a screenshot. We have thoughts on what it says about the man currently in charge of your rockets.Russia's Victory Day parade happened — sort of. No tanks, no missiles, and a flyover that turned out to be more CGI than aircraft. Both sides are already accusing each other of breaking the ceasefire, the prisoner exchange that was supposed to be the big win hasn't happened, and Putin has picked a mediator for peace talks whose resume includes being on the payroll of Russian state energy companies. We couldn't make this up.Ukraine meanwhile reached out and touched something over 900 miles away, which tells you everything you need to know about where this war actually stands heading into year five.Back home, the Federal Reserve just got a new face — confirmed by a razor thin margin with one very surprising Democratic vote that we have some feelings about. Trump made his expectations about interest rates crystal clear, and the contrast with how he's handled building renovations at home is genuinely one for the books.Iran sent a response to a White House baby announcement that is going to stop you cold. Ohio Representative Max Miller is this week's Scumbag of the Week, and the details of why he earned it are not for the faint of heart.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

This week's "Who Said It" involves the ocean — or is it "see" like vision? Either way, someone very important has some very confident statistics about it, and we start there.Tesla is pushing past $400 despite a recall on 220,000 cars — and the way Tesla handles recalls versus every other automaker is actually worth a conversation. There's also a trademark filing that tells you something big is coming, if you believe in the power of paperwork over timelines.Russia's Victory Day parade is almost here and the optics are not great — no military hardware, a stunt driver rehearsing something that defies several laws of physics, and diplomats being quietly asked to leave Kyiv before things get interesting. Meanwhile, after a phone call with Putin, Pete Hegseth announced the withdrawal of thousands of US troops from Germany. Totally unrelated, we're sure.The White House ballroom saga has a new chapter — what started as a $200 million private donor project is now a $1 billion taxpayer bill hitching a ride on a border security package, and the design plans have us asking some serious questions about who exactly is supposed to get lost in the basement. Oh, and a Luxembourg steel company is providing the materials, which pairs nicely with the US Steel deal we'll explain.The Trump sons have a new business venture in the drone interceptor space — and the timeline of when they joined the board, when the Air Force signed a contract, and what company they're merging with is one of the more brazenly entertaining conflict of interest stories we've covered. And the IOC has some thoughts on Belarus that we have some thoughts about.That car coming down in Russiahttps://www.dailymail.com/news/article-13580423/Horrifying-moment-police-car-stunt-goes-horribly-wrong-Ford-Focus-balancing-two-wheels-crashes-officer-driving-skills-display-survived.html#v-1135876632945408158Got feedback?

This week's "Who Said It" is a business quote that aged in a very funny direction — once you find out who said it and what happened next, you'll understand why we opened with it.Tesla's back on the move and this time there's actually something real behind it — the first Tesla Semi rolled off the line with some genuinely impressive specs. We break down the numbers, what it could mean for the industry, and why we're cautiously optimistic with an asterisk. Then there's the SpaceX IPO filing with a clause so brazen it makes you do a double take — Elon Musk has essentially structured it so that the only person who can fire Elon Musk... is Elon Musk.On the war front, Ukraine had a very productive week before anyone started talking ceasefires — a missile ship, a patrol boat, a shadow fleet tanker, a refinery, and oh, a drone that made it six miles from the Kremlin. Then both sides announced ceasefires — on completely different dates — and we have some questions about how that's supposed to work. There's also a pointed warning to Belarus that tells you everything you need to know about how much the situation on the ground has shifted.An aid flotilla got intercepted by the Israeli Navy in international waters — 600 miles from Gaza — and the Jerusalem Post's headline about it is genuinely one for the ages. We read it so you don't have to.NASA's new chief wants to give Pluto its planet status back, and we have a disagreement brewing. Trump gave Zambia a deadline that made our jaws drop.
