Patrick Soon-Shiong to Launch ‘Cancer Decoded' in Partnership With Mark Halperin's 2Way
The show will run on Los Angeles Times Studios' streaming platform as well as 2Way's YouTube and X Channels, according to a Halperin Substack post. The first episode debuts Tuesday at 4:30 p.m and will focus on glioblastoma treatment with guest Simon Khagi, a neuro-oncologist in Orange County.
The purpose of 'Cancer Decoded' is to 'create a space where science is made understandable, where patients and families feel supported and where we share conversations and perspectives with compassion, honesty and the belief that knowledge empowers healing,' Soon-Shiong said in a statement.
Halperin, who rose to prominence at Time for his coverage of U.S. elections and political strategy, was political director at ABC in 2017 when multiple allegations of sexual misconduct emerged. 2Way is one of several efforts to re-enter the media landscape, a comeback that has been met with mixed reactions.
2Way launched in October and features shows such as 'The Morning Meeting,' which Halperin hosts with Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine.

Trump meets with Intel CEO after demanding he resign
US President Donald Trump on Monday said he had a "very interesting" meeting with the chief of US chip maker Intel, just days after calling for his resignation. Trump said on his Truth Social platform that he met with Lip-Bu Tan along with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent. "The meeting was a very interesting one," Trump said in the post. "His success and rise is an amazing story." Trump added that members of his cabinet are going to spend time with Tan and bring the president "suggestions" next week. Intel did not respond to a request for comment. Trump demanded last week that the recently-hired boss of Intel resign "immediately," after a Republican senator raised national security concerns over his links to firms in China. "The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem," Trump posted on Truth Social last Thursday. Tan released a statement at the time saying that the company was engaged with the Trump administration to address the concerns raised and ensure officials "have the facts." Intel is one of Silicon Valley's most iconic companies but its fortunes have been dwarfed by Asian powerhouses TSMC and Samsung, which dominate the made-to-order semiconductor business. In a statement, Tan said there has been "a lot of misinformation circulating" about his past roles at Walden International and Cadence Design Systems. "I have always operated within the highest legal and ethical standards," Tan said. The Malaysia-born tech industry veteran took the helm at struggling Intel in March, announcing layoffs as White House tariffs and export restrictions muddied the market. Intel's niche has been chips used in traditional computing processes, which are steadily being eclipsed by the AI revolution. gc/bjt Sign in to access your portfolio

Ford's New Truck Needs To Understand The EV Myths Permating Automaking
Ford promised their announcement of a new 'universal' EV platform, along with a low-cost light pickup truck, would be another 'Model T' moment in automaking history. Ford didn't show us the truck, just teased various attributes, in particular that their electric truck should sell for about $30,000 and be available in 2027, thanks to new design and manufacuring innovations. Nobody's going to be critical of making a decent vehicle for a lower price, and Ford certainly knows the truck market, though they haven't shown the same aplomb in the EV world. Based on what little we know, this is going to be a fairly short range truck, of low utility for towing traditional trailers. Are the choices the right ones? Range The base truck has a battery estimated at around 51kWh. The most efficient pickup today, Rivian's, would get around 125 miles of range on that, with a practical range under 100 miles. That's a customer scaring number, and impactical for road trips out of town, though many working trucks that never leave town could indeed get by on that. Perhaps Ford has found a way to make dramatic aerodynamic improvements--they did not show the shape of the truck--but even so, they will not likely get past 150 miles. On the plus side, that's with an LFP battery pack. LFP batteries are cheaper, used in shorter-range Teslas and many Chinese cars. While most of the battery industry has been on a very expensive quest for denser, longer range battery chemistries, 'good old' LFP has been winning the day. While it's a bit bulkier and heavier, it's cheaper and you can charge it to 100% every day, which makes up a lot for the reduced range. Ford will make a longer range NMC version as well, according to reports. Ford is perhaps betting that people will realize a not well understood truth, that long range is mostly useful for intercity road trips. (And in some cases, for those doing Level 1 charging at home.) While it's a bit less convenient, customers who know they plan to use their truck around town can save a bunch of money buying a smaller battery. Ford presumably hopes the $30K price point will attract a whole new class of buyers. Cost Buyers who don't understand EVs do indeed think they cost too much. The reality is that EVs are already a fair bit cheaper than ICE equivalents in total cost of ownership, when you add in energy and maintenance. Customers just have trouble feeling that--paying $5,000 more up front and saving $1,000/year is a huge win, but a delayed one. Of course, a vehicle that costs the same and still saves, $1,000/year is great, but that involves some compromises, like range. It would be nice if there were a way to get around the psychology of this. A way to sell the car for less but get the owner to pay $500/month more for their electricity (but still less than they paid for gas) so they see themselves saving money every year, not just in the future. It could be that creative accounting is more valuable than good engineering, though both are great. No sign as yet from Ford of another interesting solution for pickup trucks, namely a way to mount a temporary rental battery pack, or rental compact generator in the truckbed. That's much easier to design into a truck than a car. If drivers could stop for 15 minutes at a depot on the way out of town to rent such a range extender, they could get the best of both worlds--a cheap in-town car, and the ability to get extra range on rarer trips out of town. Single Platform It's not new to Ford, but they also plan to switch to a universal platform, on which they can build trucks, sedans, vans and SUVs. The battery pack of this pickup truck is a structural element that makes the bed of the truck. Universal platforms allow better economies of scale over all models, one of the best ways to drive down prices. Where's The Software? Ford spoke a lot about new hardware designs and manufacturing approaches, which is great, but it's 2025, and the vehicles that win will derive more and more of their value from their software, not their hardware. You need both, but without a world-beating software strategy, failure is likely. We didn't hear a lot about this, so Ford had better start laying that out soon. It's not just about making software-defined-vehicles; everybody knows about that, though they had to be dragged, kicking and screaming to do what silicon valley companies do as 2nd nature. It's hard to imagine a new "Model-T moment" without a lot of innovation there. Ford used to have a strong position overseas. It needs to regain that. In the USA, they will have protectionist tariffs to make them complacent, but out in the rest of the world they will be going head to head with China, where the things Ford announced today might generate a yawn, and not many Yuan. Let's hope that real reinvention of the company is coming.

Jordon Hudson shares critical feedback toward podcasters after tense phone call revelation
Jordon Hudson, the girlfriend of North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick, appeared to fire back at criticism from sports podcasters who opened up about their interaction with her. Charlotte Wilder and Madeline Hill, the co-hosts of "The Sports Gossip Show," recently revealed they spoke to Hudson about coming onto their show and that she introduced herself as "the president of your universe." Amid the descriptions of how the call went down, Hudson shared critical feedback of the episode in which Wilder and Hill described the conversation with Hudson as tension filled. "This was such a disappointing take for me," the Instagram user sportslawheather wrote on their Instagram Stories. "'She shouldn't because the money/fame means more to someone else?? Because of her boyfriend??' Be real. "Do I have to seriously argue against (female! Sports journalists that (Hudson) has is justified in pursuing Miss Maine USA, Miss America for her own career and interests regardless of who she is dating." Wilder and Hill both initially thought Hudson wanted to speak about the Miss Maine USA pageant. Wilder revealed Hudson was, at one point, yelling at her and crying and the talk later turned contentious. She added that it "felt like we were always waiting for the other shoe to drop." The sports podcasters talked about their interaction with Hudson in one of their latest episodes. Hudson became a focal point of the college football offseason for a hot minute when she abruptly cut off a CBS interviewer's line of questioning toward Belichick about how they met. It started a firestorm of criticism toward Hudson and Belichick. But Belichick has made clear that Hudson has no role in the football program. "That's really off to the side. That's a personal relationship and she doesn't have anything to do with UNC football," Belichick told ESPN back in May. "I'm excited to be back in the coaches' meetings and getting ready for June and August when we get to training camp. June will be a big recruiting month for us and then August we start getting ready for the season."
