Nvidia posted $96.2B quarterly revenue (up 106% YoY) and $60B net profit—the most profitable core business quarter ever—with guidance for 70% growth, dismissing AI CapEx bubble fears.
2

Salesforce rebounded 20%+ after integrating AI, proving horizontal SaaS platforms like CRM are complementary to agents, not doomed to replacement.
3

Treasury Secretary Bessent's bond buybacks drew criticism from mentor Druckenmiller, who argued only Congress can fix the $40T debt and $2.5T annual deficit, not market interventions.

America faces a fiscal crisis: the 30-year Treasury at 5.2%, a $10T refinancing wave in 12 months, and risk of a death spiral if yields hit 6%—with Social Security insolvency projected by 2030-2032.
5

Moderna's cancer vaccine (neoantigen therapy) uses personalized mRNA to train the immune system to attack tumors; the hosts question whether the process—developed with public funding—should be patented and priced at $500K when cheaper alternatives exist.
