The Money Wise guys are back in the studio and kick off this week’s episode by recapping a strong rebound for the markets, with the Dow up 1.3%, the S&P 500 climbing 2.4%, and the NASDAQ jumping 3.9%, reaching an all-time closing high on Friday. Despite factory orders falling 4.8%, markets largely brushed off the news, along with fresh tariff headlines involving chip manufacturing and India. Apple’s $100+ billion commitment to new U.S. facilities added to the upbeat sentiment. The guys put market gains in perspective, noting the S&P 500 is up only 6.6% without dividends since President Trump’s election, despite a 30% rebound from April’s “tariff tantrum” lows. They also discuss the market’s tendency to rise regardless of which party holds the presidency, Trump’s CEO-style approach to leadership, and how political noise often keeps professional money managers on the sidelines.
Apple’s Big Investment
Apple made headlines this week with the announcement of a massive $100+ billion investment to expand manufacturing facilities in the United States. The move signals a continued commitment to domestic production, particularly in high-demand areas like chip manufacturing, which has been at the center of recent trade and tariff discussions. By building more capacity on U.S. soil, Apple could help strengthen supply chains, create jobs, and reduce reliance on overseas production, factors that the market and policymakers are watching closely. The news added to the week’s upbeat tone, reinforcing investor optimism even as broader economic data remained mixed.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
