Summary

As the Israel-Hamas War begins its second week, historian and economist Daniel Yergin considers the impact of a regional conflict on global energy markets. Harvard professor, author, and happiness expert Arthur Brooks weighs the pressures on America’s corporate and educational leaders to speak out on current events like the war, in light of recent calls to action from Apollo CEO Marc Rowan and Anti Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. Brooks argues for a more conservative approach to public statements from the C suite. Plus, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film has already broken records, the US House of Representatives is still looking for a Speaker, and media analysts are eyeing activist shareholder Starboard Value’s stake in Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Arthur Brooks - 10:21 Daniel Yergin - 20:27 In this episode: Arthur Brooks, @arthurbrooks Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Katie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie
