For the first time since Lyndon Johnson was in the White House, Berkshire Hathaway has a new CEO. Greg Abel joins us in his major interview since taking over for the legendary Warren Buffett at the beginning of the year. The company has resumed repurchasing its own shares for the first time since 2024, and Abel announced his plans to use his annual compensation each year to buy additional shares in Berkshire. Plus, the latest in the he-said, he-said drama of OpenAI, Anthropic and the Pentagon.
