Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, President Trump blames Wall Street for the housing crisis.
Then, the new food pyramid just dropped. Red meat is in, processed food is out. It's Thursday, January 8th. Let's ride.
Good morning. You know, I think I've stumbled upon the best science fact of the year so far, which is that jellyfish have eerily similar sleeping habits to humans, which is news to most of us who never even considered that jellyfish sleep in the first place. A study published this week found that jellyfish seemed to sleep about eight hours a day, take midday naps, and even snooze when they didn't get a full night of rest. When you take into account that jellyfish don't have brains, the research gives us key insights into the origins of sleep and how extremely, extremely ancient it is. Toby, can you imagine encountering a jellyfish in the ocean that had pulled an all-nighter? Probably a grumpy fellow.
I don't know if I could determine if a jellyfish was sleeping or not sleeping, but looking at brainless animals to determine sleep's fundamental purpose in life, they could come just watch me take a snooze. Sleep being this universal biological rhythm, though, instead of a purely neurological phenomenon, It felt like Avatar to me, you know, how they have like the goddess Awa and like connecting everything. The fact that sleep is our, you know, common thing that we share with jellyfish and each other. I think we should go visit Awa more, visit our goddess more though, because I'm looking at you, looking at myself. We got some bags under our eyes right now. And now a word from our sponsor, Rubrik.
Neil, you ever take a golf swing that you swear is perfect, and then the ball slices into a completely different zip code? That's what AI agents are like. High potential, but they can go off track fast.

What does Trump blame for the housing crisis?
Head to rubrik.com. That's R-U-B-R-I-K.com, rubrik.com. President Trump shocked the housing industry yesterday when he announced his intention to ban large institutional investors from buying up any more single-family homes and what he's framing as a defense of the American dream. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, people live in homes, not corporations, and tied the decision to record high housing costs. Home prices are up more than 50% nationally since 2019, with the national median home price crossing a peak of $450 and $35,000 last summer. However, institutional investors might be more of a convenient scapegoat than an actual root cause of housing unaffordability. Big corporations like Blackstone only own about 2% to 3% of US housing nationally, though that number is higher in hot housing markets like the Sunbelt.
The market did not take kindly to the announcement sending shares of Blackstone, a major investor in residential real estate, down as much as 9% yesterday, and Invitation Homes, the biggest owner of rental homes in the U.S., as much as 10%.
