Let's get into it.

On Wednesday's Prof G Markets episode, Ed sat down with Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director and founder of SkyBridge Capital, to go through the 3,700-plus stock trades the president made in the first quarter of 2026.

That's more than 40 trades a day, altogether valued somewhere between $220 million and $750 million.

And as Ed laid it out, a lot of those trades weren't random.

And these trades were just one story.

On Raging Moderates, Scott and Jess discussed another controversy.

The DOJ announced a new $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund created to compensate people who say they were politically targeted by the government.

The money comes from a settlement tied to Trump's lawsuit over the 2019 leak of his tax returns.

Under the program, a commission appointed by the attorney general decides who gets paid.

Those decisions can't be challenged in court.

And the government isn't required to publicly disclose where all of the money goes.

Critics argue it rewards loyalty, while supporters argue it corrects abuses.

Scott saw something bigger.

But frustration with the rules extends well beyond Washington.

This week, California put on the ballot a one-time 5% wealth tax on assets over a billion dollars.

The debate on Tuesday's Markets episode with Jason Calacanis and Bradley Tusk got to the core of why people are angry and why the proposed fix might not work.

And if the conversation this week was partly about institutions weakening at home, China Decode asked whether America is losing leverage abroad, too.

James King argued something remarkable happened during the Trump-Xi summit last week.

For perhaps the first time, China looked like it had the upper hand, not because America suddenly got weaker, but because leverage shifted.

We'll be right back after the break.
