Wall Street’s Biggest Banks Report Results

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/895152b9-5a25-4f79-a4ec-b0f5016b023c/transcript

The US and Israel began striking targets across Iran, with President Donald Trump urging Iranians to overthrow the government in a conflict that threatens to spiral across the oil-rich Middle East.   

“The hour for your freedom is at hand,” Trump said, addressing Iranians in a video posted on Truth Social on Saturday. “When we’re finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.”   

The military campaign could be a defining moment for Trump, risking a drawn-out regional war that leads to a surge in energy prices and American casualties ahead of mid-term elections this year. Iran quickly responded by firing missiles on Israel and US bases around the region, and countries in the Persian Gulf closed their airspace.  

Israel’s military said the campaign would target “dozens of military targets,” and Iran media reported strikes on defensive and civilian sites, including more than 50 people dead in a strike on a school in Hormozgan, in the south of the country. Several large explosions were reported in the capital, Tehran.

President Donald Trump directed US government agencies to stop using Anthropic PBC’s products, capping a feud between the artificial intelligence giant and the Pentagon over safeguards on its technology.

Trump said Friday that there would be a six-month “phase out period” for agencies including the Defense Department that are using Anthropic’s products.
“The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution,” the president posted on social media. “Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology.”
Spokespeople for Anthropic didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Hegseth had given Anthropic until 5 p.m. on Friday to allow the Pentagon to use the Claude chatbot for any means necessary, within legal limits. The company had insisted that Claude not be used for mass surveillance against Americans or in fully autonomous weapons operations.

Trump’s decision will send a shockwave through Silicon Valley, where tech firms have invested billions of dollars on artificial intelligence and are weighing how best to handle federal government contracting. The move takes aim at a company that’s leading development of AI, a centerpiece of Trump’s economic agenda.

Today's show features:
Bloomberg News Reporter covering technology and national security Katrina Manson, on President Donald Trump directing US government agencies to stop using Anthropic's products due to a feud over safeguards on its technology
Robert Reffkin, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Compass International Holdings, and Varun Krishna, President and CEO of Rocket Companies, on a three-year strategic alliance aimed at expanding home listing inventory to create an enhanced affordable home buying and selling experience for American families
Luis von Ahn, Co-Founder, Chairman, President & CEO of Duolingo, on earnings and the struggles of the language learning platform in the era of AI-related disruption
Bloomberg News Senior Editor, Equities Americas Eric Weiner, recapping the worst trading month since March 2025
