Inside America’s AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition
David Sacks, Michael Kratsios, Maria Bartiromo
The United States maintains a significant technological lead over China in frontier AI models and semiconductor infrastructure, driving current economic growth while transitioning into an intensified competition for power generation capacity. To sustain this advantage, the administration has dismantled previous restrictive regulations in favor of a streamlined federal framework that prioritizes permissionless innovation and excludes politically biased models from government procurement. With private capital fueling data center expansion and strategic export programs aiming to secure global market share, the nation seeks to outpace China's domestic tech indigenization while mitigating risks of surveillance and regulatory fragmentation.

Michael Milken on what Americans can do in fight against coronavirus
Michael Milken, Maria Bartiromo
Michael Milken characterizes the pandemic as a post-Pearl Harbor mobilization moment, directing the Milken Institute's resources toward six strategic pillars: education, prevention, treatment, cure, financial stability, and care. He outlines a data-driven roadmap that leverages cancer research insights, microbiome science, and accelerated testing to deploy antiviral therapies and immune-boosting treatments well before a vaccine becomes available. Concurrently, the initiative targets economic resilience by stabilizing small businesses and implementing interest-free digital lending to protect families, ultimately advocating for a permanent healthcare infrastructure rather than a cycle of reactive emergency measures.

David Petraeus, Steven Mnuchin, Maria Bartiromo, Michael Milken, Tony Blair
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, General David Petraeus, and former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin convened to analyze the resurgent competition between authoritarian and liberal democratic systems shaping the 21st century.

A Conversation with Steven Mnuchin, U.S. Department of the Treasury | Global Capital Markets
Steven Mnuchin, Maria Bartiromo, Mohamed El-Erian, Thomas Finke, Scott Minerd, Arunma Oteh, David M. Solomon
Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin presented a comprehensive tax reform plan designed to raise U.S. GDP growth from 2% to 3% by simplifying the code, lowering the corporate flat rate to 15%, and eliminating the alternative minimum tax. The administration anticipates these cuts may initially widen the deficit but projects long-term revenue gains of $2 trillion to offset costs, while simultaneously preparing to enforce reciprocal trade tariffs and expand sanctions on adversarial nations. Complementing these fiscal and foreign policy shifts, financial sector leaders warn that while deregulation could boost profitability, current market valuations may be ahead of actual legislative delivery and execution risks.

Real Estate: Where Are Prospects Rising and Falling?
Maria Bartiromo, Barry Blattman, Victor Coleman, David Simon, Michael Weil
Industry leaders characterize the current real estate cycle as stable and leveraged-conservative, driven by a strategic pivot from short-term trading to long-term ownership as Asian and Middle Eastern capital flows increasingly favor equity stakes in U.S. trophy assets. While new supply creates localized oversupply risks in urban cores like New York and San Francisco, the market demonstrates resilience through disciplined underwriting and a distinct shift where technology giants and international investors prioritize physical space as a critical talent acquisition tool rather than operational overhead. Looking ahead, participants warn that future value creation will rely on operational efficiency and asset management to navigate political uncertainties and a transition away from interest-rate arbitrage, even as emerging markets like Brazil offer deep value opportunities for diversification.

New Directions in Private Equity
Leon Black, David Bonderman, Jonathan Nelson, Jonathan Sokoloff, Scott Sperling, Maria Bartiromo
Despite a 30% drop in private equity deal volume, market leaders like Apollo's Leon Black and TPG's David Bonderman are pivoting from traditional leveraged buyouts to high-growth assets, minority stakes, and distressed opportunities in Europe. While valuations remain stretched due to cheap credit and seller reluctance, firms are prioritizing capital deployment in defensive sectors like media and consumer staples while navigating macroeconomic uncertainty. Panelists anticipate a continued harvest phase over the next 18 months, with capital flows shifting toward customized structures and emerging markets that offer differentiated returns beyond standard GDP growth metrics.
