Tariffs are back, inflation is confused, and ICE is raiding your salad. In this week’s episode, we break down why oil prices spiked (hint: Middle East and fund managers panicking), how minimum wage still isn’t the job-killer people tweet about, and why Smoot-Hawley remains undefeated in the “worst economic idea ever” competition.

We also discuss the ICE labor crackdown threatening U.S. agriculture, the ongoing AI comedown (sorry, Adobe), inflation expectations vs reality, and why you can now trade Fartcoin on Coinbase. Plus: This Day in Economic History, featuring child-mailing, ticker tape parades, and government agencies born out of chaos.

Tesla’s still pretending it’s a tech company, Stellantis is still pretending it’s a cool name, and Elon’s reality show got picked up by the White House. We break down whether SpaceX could survive a government “upgrade,” how tariffs are the financial version of playing chicken with yourself, and why Stellantis might just be the least-loved bargain in autos (with Maserati-sized baggage).

Also on deck: the S&P crosses the big 6-handle, oil prices yawn their way higher, and Circle’s IPO drops — because what the stablecoin market needed was more hype. Plus, a surprisingly intelligent discussion on IPO timing, salespeople, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ slow-motion hiring freeze.

Kohl’s explodes upward, tariffs implode in court, and crypto takes a turn for the medieval as a self-styled “Bitcoin king” decides kidnapping is a viable portfolio strategy. We break down the chaos in U.S.–China trade talks, including China’s demand for AI chips and America’s new favorite acronym: TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out).

Jamie Dimon goes full gloom-and-doom in a live interview, warning of bond market carnage just weeks after saying everything looked fine, which either means he’s hedging or auditioning for Treasury Secretary. Meanwhile, we explore the math behind steel tariffs (spoiler: you lose 75 jobs for every one saved), why the most American-made car still isn’t really American, and how free trade continues to confuse people with microphones.

Tariffs are back, baby — this time with a 50% side of Europe and a 25% sprinkle on your smartphone. We break down what that means for your iPhone payments (spoiler: don’t). We also talk about Nippon Steel’s love letter to U.S. Steel, Tesla getting lapped by BYD, and why Deckers somehow still sells Uggs. Drew nerds out over Japanese bond yields and explains how hedge funds pick up nickels in front of steamrollers. Quinn reads a Garfield calendar, and we resurrect John D. Rockefeller to talk dimes, dirty ledgers, and daddy issues. Plus: the White House speeds up nuclear permitting, and we ask the real question—should you bank with Big Apple Bank for the next thousand years like Fry from Futurama?

In this special episode #7.5 of The Capital Call, US Army resident Dr. Nicholas Woo returns for a deep (and occasionally unhinged) dive into AI’s role in modern medicine. We talk liability nightmares, tech bro delusions, machine malpractice, and why you still want a human with a pulse when your chest hurts. From payroll taxes for robots to cobblers and blacksmiths, this one’s a ride.

From boot camp to Botox denials, Army Doctor Nicholas Woo joins the Millegan brothers to talk about military healthcare, financial literacy for new recruits (hint: don’t buy the Mustang), and how TRICARE might accidentally be the best health plan in America. We also dive into Boeing’s slow-motion implosion, crypto’s awkward adolescence as it tries to reinvent banking, and why the UnitedHealthcare CEO may or may not have been allegedly shot (you decide). Plus: Vegas, the nickel, the NFL cartel, and Canada’s politest insurrection. Stay for the history lesson, leave wondering if we’ve learned anything at all.

This week on Capital Call: with The Millegan Brothers, we cover light topics like international trade breakdowns, militarized drone swarms, 110-hour workweeks that literally kill, and Warren Buffett casually handing off the keys to a $1 trillion empire. Also: Netflix finds a way to make more money when you're broke, Disney opens a theme park somewhere dry and oil-rich, and Portland might get a baseball team if Salt Lake forgets to show up.

What do falling oil prices, orbital battleships, and lab-grown mammoth meat have in common? Apparently, this episode. Brothers Drew and Quinn Millegan spiral through the economics of tariffs, why OPEC is the worst group project in history, and how the U.S. frackers might get kneecapped (again) by Saudi spite. We learn about Norway’s shockingly low-cost oil production, Russia planting flags on the Arctic seafloor, Greenland's prime real estate, and why you can't get your Temu order delivered. Then it’s on to teleportation ethics, hydrogen as a leaky disaster, and the future of synthetic meat.

This week, Quinn and Drew tackle trade wars, why tariffs age worse than milk, the hidden stupidity behind sales taxes, and the booming business of shipping empty containers across oceans. They dig into SpaceX's money machine, explain why manufacturing didn’t really "die," and marvel at a new $20K EV truck that's basically a grown-up Lego set. Plus: the guy who missed the Titanic because he hated fancy typewriters, Greece’s 1930s currency chaos, and why we're all secretly working for the IRS.

Elon’s busy building the Roman Empire in his nursery, Jerome's deadlifting instead of cutting rates, and brokers in 1925 Italy responded to regulation by going full WWE. Markets are wild - but they always have been.

First came the fake tweet. Then the denial. Then the real news. In between? Trillions moved, short sellers panicked, and the market posted one of its most dramatic rebounds since the Second World War.

Tariffs, tantrums, and $6 trillion in vanishing value—what better time for the first-ever Capital Call? On this so-called “Liberation Day,” investors were liberated mostly from their gains. Quinn and Drew, managers of the Woodworth Contrarian Fund, unpack policy chaos, circuit breakers, and why Kohl’s might just be the thrift store Picasso—buried under junk, but worth a second look.
