Good morning, Brew, Daily Show. Neil Fryman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, in a shock move, New York City's congestion pricing plan has been put on ice. We'll tell you who's happy and who's furious. Then what happens when you give a remote Brazilian tribe access to the internet for the first time? Thanks to Starlink, we now know the answer. It's Friday, June 7th.

Let's ride. Is the United States a cricket powerhouse? Some are saying after Team USA pulled off a shock upset of Pakistan yesterday in the T20 World Cup in Texas. Pakistan has won the tournament before and they're currently number six in the world. So it isn't a stretch to say that this is one of the biggest upsets in the sports history. And you should expect to hear a lot more about cricket over the next few weeks. The United States is hosting the tournament along with the West Indies. So if the team continues, it's Cinderella run. It could serve as the sports breakout moment here. Toby, are you jumping on

the bandwagon? I absolutely am full of American pride right now. The best part is that a software engineer was one of the U.S.'s key players that helped pull off the upset. According to his LinkedIn page, Sarab Netravalkar is a principal engineer at Oracle. The man is absolutely living the dream. He's got a great tech job in the Bay Area. He's beating up on cricket heavywigs. And his fun facts during corporate ice breakers must go so hard. He's like, hi, I'm Sharab.

I also just beat Pakistan to win one of the biggest cricket matches in the United States history. So the man is living the dream. Yeah, this really could be a big marketing event. for cricket in the United States. They built a special purpose stadium right out on Long Island that I'm hoping to get to a game to. There's an India-Pakistan game,

one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports, India-Pakistan cricket that's happening on Sunday morning. Just one problem. Tickets are over $700 to get in, which is a good sign, kind of, and it shows how people are super interested in cricket. And I think if the Team USA continues to do well,

we could only see the sport grow here. Now let's hear a word from our purple print Yahoo Finance.

It's Jensen Huang's world, and we're just living in it. On the cusp of NVIDIA's stock split later today, let's take a dive into the gen sanity, sweeping the world of AI and your portfolio. Nvidia is conducting a 10-1 stock split today to make stock ownership more accessible to employees and investors.

If you're lucky enough to own some Nvidia shares, the economic value of your holdings won't change. You just will own 10 smaller shares price around $120 instead of one big $1,200 one. But it will do nothing to slow Nvidia's role. Nvidia has gained more than $2 trillion in market value this year alone. That is more than the entire valuation of meta. that surge has pushed it into the rarefied $3 trillion market cap club, passing Apple in the process to become the second most valuable company in the world. There was this big computing conference in Taiwan this week, this week,

and it was clear just how fast Jensen Star has risen. Everywhere he went, people cheered. They asked him to sign their GPUs or their blouses in the case of one viral woman. It's Jensanity. It's Jensanity. Let's start with the stock split and then get into Jansani a little bit. So this is a 10 to 1 stock split. And the way I like to think about this is if you own Nvidia, you have a slice of pizza.

What they're doing is coming over to your slice of pizza, taking a pizza slicer, that's what it's called, and just cutting it up into 10 smaller slices. You still have the same amount of pizza, but each slice is a little bit smaller. And the goal of a stock split is to entice more people to eat your pizza. If it's a little bit smaller, it's a little bit more manageable. It costs a little bit less to get in on the action and eat this pizza. So by cutting everything into 10, it doesn't change anything about the company at all. It still has the same market value, but they're hoping that people will look at the price of a share and say, oh, that's only $120. I think I'm going to buy it instead of, whoa, $1,200.

It's a little bit scary. Warren Buffett is famous for never splitting his stock, which is why a single share of Berkshire Hathaway is up over $500,000 per share right now. And so it has become common for companies to split their stock in order to juice demand for it. Right. It doesn't change anything about the fundamentals of a company. But interest does usually peak around stocks when a stock split is coming up. I mean, just think back to 2021. Tesla also did a stock split back then. It ran up, shares ran up 61% in the two weeks leading up to it. There's just a lot of interest in activity around the stock. Invitya is also sweeping the options market right now, 19 out of 20 of the most actively traded options tied to

NVIDIA are set to expire on Wednesday at the end, or set to expire at the end of this week. So there's a bunch of short-term options activity around NVIDIA right now, tied to this enthusiasm around the stocks. Yeah, and we've been talking about NVIDIA for the past year because they make the picks that arm the people who are doing the gold rush around AI. That's been the metaphor. That's grown. That's emerged.

But I would say this is the week that everyone kind of realized, wow, this guy, Jensen, the CEO, is an absolute rock star, especially in his native Taiwan, where he grew up. I mean, every single move of his was followed, as you mentioned. There was breathless media reports about every single place that he was going to to eat, which jacked up sales at all these places. He threw out a first pitch at a baseball game who was signing autographs. And he wasn't even a keynote speaker there, but you could just tell where he was because of the throngs of people that followed. So he is an absolute rock star there.

He is their native son, and he's come back to show what he's built here in the United States. And it is remarkable. I'm just – the question here is, can anything slow Nvidia's role right now? Yeah, let's just put into context how fast Nvidia has been rolling. The shares of gain more than 3,300 percent in the last five years. It took Apple about three years to go from a $2 trillion market cap to a $3 trillion one. Microsoft did it in quicker time, two and a half. years after hitting $2 trillion.

For Nvidia, the trip from $2 trillion to $3 trillion took three months. It's insane how fast. You look at the stock chart. You just have to laugh because I want to say parabolic, but it's something even more. We need the math people to come and tell me what formation Nvidia's stock chart is making right now because it's truly insane. And there are competitors coming after Nvidia. You have AMD and Intel that want to build the same types of graphics chips, that power

AI just for a lot cheaper because Nvidia charges tens of thousands of dollars for a single one. And then you also have the big tech giants like Microsoft, meta, Amazon, all trying to make their own chips. But still, every analyst is like, I still think for the next two to three years, Nvidia has

this incredible moat because they make the best chips and everyone wants the best chips to power their AI platforms right now. So they're like, I don't know, you know, this thing is on a rocket chip, but I don't see any sort of force of gravity that could bring it down. So we'll just have to see, but yeah, this is the week that everyone learned how big of a deal Jensen Huang is.

On June 30th, just a few weeks from now, a plan to charge vehicles entering New York City was supposed to go into effect in a first of its kind congestion pricing scheme in the U.S. Well, as you can gather from the words supposed to, it's not happening anymore. In a shocking 11th hour announcement, New York Governor Kathy Hockel said she was shelving the tolling plan despite having publicly supported it two weeks before and the work on it having gone for decades. Hoko playing the Uno reverse card flabbergasted environmentalists, transit advocates, and economists who consider the idea of taxing city driving a sensible way to curb emissions and invest in transit. The tolls collected from congestion pricing were going to send $1 billion

each year to improve subway and bus service in the city. Now there could be a gaping budget hole. In defending the decision, Hockel argued that the $15 toll would put too much of a burden on lower income residents who are already struggling with inflation. She added that the plan was hatched before the pandemic when offices were full five days a week and tourism was at record highs. The economy was in a better place to absorb the driving tax. Then she said, still Toby, I'm on urban planning Twitter. I've never seen such anger, such a sense of betrayal directed toward a politician.

There's concern that the entire concept of congestion pricing anywhere in the U.S. has been put on ice by New York's U-turn. Yeah, this has been a debate for years. For 15 years in New York City, congestion pricing debates have been swirling around. It's always angered kind of the car driving suburban nights. It's always been exciting for public transportation enthusiasts, subway enthusiasts. The benefits were supposed to be that you were going to decrease traffic. It was supposed to decrease traffic by around 17%. That translates to around 120,000 cars per day. And by doing so, improve air quality in the process.

And then the tolls were supposed to boost the MTAs, the Metropolitan Transit Authority's budget. And that's really, I think the big fallout here is that there is now, as you put a gaping hole in their budget because they need that money to improve the transportation infrastructure around New York City right now. Yeah, and critics of Hockel's move to say it's a pure political ploy because putting a tax on people is always just never going to be popular in the majority of New York residents and especially people in the suburbs in Long Island and in the Hudson Valley did oppose this plan.

The majority were against it. And I think a lot of other Democratic politicians looked at what Hockel did. And they were like, well, you know, the election year coming up, like, this is kind of okay. And then the advocates on the other side say, yes, putting attacks on driving is never going to be popular, but you just do it. And eventually the benefits will emerge and the transit, you know, transit becomes better. and over time, people see the benefits and you just kind of have to do it. But there's a reason that the other climate policy of the United States is more incentive-based than tax-based.

If you look at the Inflation Reduction Act of Biden, which is the biggest climate policy ever in the history of the United States, most of that is carrots and not sticks. It's providing subsidies and tax incentives to companies instead of imposing a tax. And you just see how hard it is politically to get a tax like this across the finish line. We were almost there just a few weeks away, but I think this is sort of dejecting and depressing for a lot of people who wanted this to happen. Because if it can't happen in New York City, it's not likely to happen anywhere else in the United States. It is in cities across the world. Singapore, London, Stockholm.

But if it can't happen in New York, it's very tough to get it in, you know, L.A. or anywhere else. It was a bummer because this felt like the shot and it was kind of killed, taken out from out of us at the 11th hour. Okay, we were going to do stock of the week, dog of the week, like we always do on Fridays, but InVidia was so clearly the stock of the week that we're going to run through some headlines instead. First up, another big rocket launch took place yesterday. On the heels of a successful mission to the ISS for Boeing Starliner, Space X and Elon wanted to steal back some of the limelight. Starship, the most powerful rocket ever assembled in the craft Elon eventually wants to use to colonize Mars, held a successful launch at its base in Boca, Texas.

It achieved two major milestones that it hadn't pulled off before yesterday. Both the super heavy booster and the spacecraft itself returned back to Earth, mostly intact. The two crafts fired their engines to slow their descends before soft splashdowns in the Gulf of Mexico and Indian Ocean, which is a big step towards the ultimate goal of getting them to land on dry land. It wasn't a perfect flight. As we were watching Starship falling back to Earth yesterday, we could literally see parts disintegrating under the intense heat before our eyes, but still, this was a successful mission.

Definitely a successful mission. And you have to look at NASA headquarters right now in Houston. They're probably starting to drink, I don't know, in like two hours from now, because their plan of offloading spaceflight is starting to finally come into fruition. You had both Boeing and SpaceX, the companies they awarded contracts to 10 years ago, literally flying rockets at the same time. You had Starliner linking up with the ISS, Meanwhile, you had Starship from SpaceX blasting off and improving every single time in its fourth mission. So their plan 10 years later, rocket science is hard, is finally starting to come into being. So it's pretty cool to see.

A major central bank cut interest rates yesterday after making significant progress on bringing down inflation. Unfortunately, it wasn't the U.S. Federal Reserve. It was the European Central Bank, which lowered rates by one quarter of a percentage point. It is a milestone event that shows how economic officials around the world are starting to loosen up their ultra-tight monetary policy as inflation has subsided. The ECB is the first major central bank to lower borrowing costs, which is said was justified after Eurozone inflation in May, felt it just 2.6% down from a peak of 10.6%. The question now is, what will the Fed do? Central bankers are clickier than your three-person group chat. So when one takes action, the others tend to follow. your move, Jerome Powell.

Yeah, and the answer probably is that Jerome Powell doesn't really care about what anyone else around the world is doing because, I don't know, this is America. We are definitely paying more attention to domestic macroeconomic data than what other international banks are doing. And you're right, though, there is a tide swelling because Sweden, Switzerland, central banks also both announced rate cuts this year already. Canada, too, became the first G7 nation to slash rates back on Wednesday. So there is definitely some movement around here.

But, again, the Fed is probably going to just pay close attention to the data that actually moves the needle for us, which state side, which is labor, consumer indicators, how consumers are spending and what those inflation numbers actually are here. We have to wait until September, it seems like. Yeah, that is, wake me up when September rate cuts happen. That was okay. Your final headline is this. The FDA has reversed its ban on jewel e-cigarettes. While it spends time reviewing court decisions and looking over new info provided by the vape maker, The agency will allow Jewel products to stay in stores.

Remember, back in 2022, the FDA ordered Jewel to halt its sales, but then a month later, it said, okay, you can keep selling while we review your appeal. And as of yesterday, the agency placed the products back under scientific review, which takes us full circle, essentially moving Jewel back to its original regulatory position before the 2022 ban. It's a little confusing, but this move paves away for their products to be federally cleared and get out from this regulatory purgatory. Regulatory purgatory. Neil, what's behind the FDA's decision here?

I mean, it seems like the FDA doesn't really know how to address e-cigarette use. There's been a lot of ham-fisted policies that they aren't exactly sure how they're going to move forward with this. But I think the e-cigarette peak has kind of passed anyway. And the big thing now, in terms of nicotine, these smokeless pouches like Zinn, and other smokeless products, accounted for 40% of all Philip Morris revenue. So this is the new waves, e-cigarette use, like Jewel peaked in 2019. And Jewel as a company has just utterly collapsed under all this regulatory scrutiny, this red tape, and just people moving on to other products like Chinese disposable vapes coming in.

I mean, Jewel was worth $38 billion when Altria bought a 35% stake in it. And then it cut down the valuation to just $450 million by 2022, which is 3.5% of the original evaluation. So some look at Altria, which is the maker of Marlborough, that investment in Jewel as one of the worst corporate decisions in history. Yeah, it is a little too, too late for Jewel, because you're right. People have moved on. The kids are doing upper deckies. They got their zins in these days. So too little too late. Up next, would you use a dating app designed by your city? Hey, honey, it's mom. Did you know if we switch to Verizon, we can get four phones for $0, $0, plus four lines for $25 a line? Call me back.

Me again. That's just $100 a month for four lines on unlimited welcome. Plus four phones, no trade in needed. Call me. It's mom. America's Best Network, Verizon. That's the one we're talking about. I'll send you text. America's Best Network based on Root Metrics, Best Overall Mobile Network Performance, U.S. Second Half, 2025. Four two lines on a limited welcome and auto pay. See Verizon.com for details.

You say this place was steps from the water. We just haven't found the steps yet. How much did we save? Enough. Enough to get lost. Or you could book a stay with Hilton. Welcome to your ocean front room. Just steps from the water.

The Hilton sale is on now. Book on Hilton.com or the Hilton app and save up to 20% to get the stay you expected. When you want savings, not surprises. It matters where you stay. Hilton for the stay. Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble are facing a new competitor on the dating app landscape, the city of Tokyo.

Yes, the Tokyo government is planning to launch a dating app in the summer, not necessarily to challenge Tinder, but to try to get more of its residents married and reverse an alarming decline in population. The country's birth rate has fallen to an all-time low, and last year there were just 474,000 marriages, a 6% annual decline, and the least amount in nearly a century. By 2070, the population of Japan is expected to decline by 30% to 87 million, while 4.10 people will be over the last year. the age of 65. So it's not hard to see why Japan considers its baby bust an existential crisis. Prime Minister Fumio Kishita warned that the country finds itself on the brink of being unable to maintain social functions because of its low birth rate. And this dating app, which costs $1.3 million, is one of a series of attempts by the government to fill its empty preschools. It's a bold move, Toby. Let's see how it pays off for them.

I like how this dating app is going about it, though. It is a requires a very rigorous registration process to make sure your intentions are in the right place and that you're actually looking for merit. It's not a hookup app. It is not a hookup app. It requires a photo ID, but also an income certificate and then also some documents confirming your relationship status. I don't know what that entails. Like, I promise I am single. And then there's 15 categories of personal data to fill out. You got your height. You got your education. You got your occupation. That's all available to see two potential matches. And then also, this is the best part. You have to attend a mandatory interview with the apps operators before getting on the apps, basically ensuring that you are signing a pledge,

you're looking for a marriage partner. So imagine signing up. Like, when you sign up for a dating app these days, you just make an account, but you have to do a full, you got to jump through a lot of hoops to make sure, yeah, your intentions are in the right place. This seems like a whole lot of social engineering on behalf of the government. But honestly, desperate times call for desperate measures. A recent survey found that 42% of all adult Japanese women say they're never going to get married, and that rises to 50 or never going to have children. They rises to more than 50% among men. And this has led to some serious problems, long-term problems for their economy.

Two-thirds of businesses surveyed said they have a worker shortage. And Japan is not a country that's known for having a lot of immigration to fill in the gaps like we do here in the United States. But it seems like that's changing. They're bringing it a lot more foreign workers. The number of foreign workers last year hit a record 2 million, which was up 12.4%. from 2022, but projections are that to hit its growth goals by 2040, they need to triple that number to above six million foreign workers. So they are pulling out all of the stops here because this is something that tumbles where there's fewer babies, fewer people working, fewer people having

kids in the future. And people like Elon Musk have warned that this is this population decline, which is not just happening in Japan. It's happening in South Korea. It's happening in Russia. It's a far bigger existential crisis for the human race than global warming. The Javari Valley is one of the most isolated places on Earth. It is an indigenous territory in Brazil where the Marabo people live. It also just got internet connection thanks to Elon's Starlink satellites. It's an interesting experiment. What happens when a remote tribe gets access to the internet for the first time? Well, pretty much exactly what you'd expect. The tribe has only had Starlink for nine months, but the New York Times already reports that there are teenagers glued to their phones,

group chats filled with gossip, addictions to social media, violent video games getting played, and of course people watching explicit content. The Marabo tribe has essentially sped run the last 30 years of existing online to arrive at the same dilemmas we all struggle with. To be fair, there has been a lot of good to come from the tribe's connection to the outside world, jobs, education, and expanded community. But with the good comes to bad. Neil, this story is wild, starting with how they got startling to their village in the first place.

Yeah, so an activist working with the indigenous tribes in this area saw an American woman speak at a space conference, and they contacted her via video. It turns out this woman has done various projects all over the world, and they asked for Starlink satellites to come to their village and provide internet access. So they sent this video. She saw it, did the math, and it cost about $15,000 to get 20 antennas down there. And she was like, sure, I'll do it. So they sent out this cold outreach, and she came there with a bunch, with a,

with a bunch of other people, they carry these antennas through the jungle, set them up, and then all of a sudden, for the first time ever, you had people connected to the internet. It's been fascinating to watch what has happened. And seeing what happened over nine months is kind of like us watching what happened to the human race over the past 30 years, to where we've gotten internet. And honestly, it's the same struggles, it's the same pros, it's the same cons. Right. And the reason why it's such high stakes here, though, because in this village, if you don't hunt, if you don't fish, you do not eat.

So procrastination and wasting time on the internet has much higher stakes there. So quickly, they realized they had to install limits on how much internet access people had. So the internet switches on for only two hours in the morning, five hours in the evening. And then on the weekends, it switches on for the whole time. But yeah, right now, we'll talk about the benefits too because the biggest benefits have been, especially in emergencies. Say you have a snake bite or something. You can quickly contact the outside world, get a helicopter there. It made the calls instantaneous versus they were using radios in the past.

So it's already saved some lives, the tribe said. But yeah, it's also brought the bad. Anything good, it feels like the other side of the coin, it brings something bad. Yes, it's open new job in education opportunities. But it's also given illegal loggers and minors in Amazon a new tool to communicate, a new tool to evade authorities. And yes, the Marubo people can communicate better, but they're also addicted to their phones now and less interested in some of the traditions

that have been in the tribe for centuries. So the good and the bad, it's a double side sword for sure. But here's the bottom line. They all say, we're not giving it up. Yes, it comes with both sides. But for the most part, on net, it is good for them, they say. And it doesn't even matter because it's there. And the fact that it's there means it's always going to be there.

And the same with us. We're not going back to a time before the internet. And so we do have to live with the good. We do have to live with the bad. And we just have to make sure we maximize the good while minimizing the bad. This is my favorite part. The end of the article, one elder in the tribe said, young people have gotten lazy because of the internet.

And then she paused and added, but please don't take our internet away. And that sums it up well right there. It also is pretty remarkable how much Starlink the company is going to change people's lives because it's providing internet access for remote people all over the world. They've never had internet before. It's not just happening. And there's Amazon.

It's happening all over the world in war-torn areas, helping out with humanitarian disasters. So Starlink under the radar, this satellite internet business, is really changing the world under our feet. If you haven't called your grandma in a long time, tonight might be the time to reach out. Pat Sejack will host his final Wheel of Fortune episode this evening after more than 40 years and 8,000 episodes making fun of contestants for not knowing common phrases. What a run, it's been. Sayjack started spinning the wheel in 1981 after show creator Merv Griffin plucked him from a job as a TV weatherman in Los Angeles. Vanne White joined a year later in the dynamic duo

have been a ratings juggernaut ever since. Wheel of Fortune peaked in popularity in the 1980s when it had a nightly audience of more than 40 million viewers. In these cord-cutting days, the audience is a lot smaller, but with an average of 8.6 million viewers a night, Wheel of Fortune sits right behind Jeopardy as one of the biggest non-football programs on television. Speaking of Jeopardy, Sejack will always be compared

to Alex Trebek, the legendary Jeopardy host who died in 2020. after a similar decades-long run. Jeopardy's attempt to replace Trebek turned into a total mess, but the Seajack succession has been a lot smoother. Ryan Seacrest, the guy who was seemingly created in a lab for this specific job, will take over. Yeah, I do like comparing and contrasting kind of the two big game shows of our time,

which are Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Jeopardy is the smart show. You can answer some of the questions, but not all. The people on the screen are usually smarter than you. Alex Trebek was a little more suave, too. gave off this disposition of he knew all the answers. Wheel of Fortune in contrast is a very much easy to understand. You get this smug sense of security sitting on your couch saying, how do they not know the answer to this? It's two different emotions, but both are effective. And Sejack and

Trebek both channeled those emotions very well as the host of the respective program. And Will of Fortune's done a good job of capturing viral moments. I mean, that over the past few years, a lot of times that people's funny answers that may have been extremely, wrong or not knowing have gone viral on social media. I think that kind of juices interest in Real of Fortune every few months or so. There was one a few weeks ago that went viral where a contestant looked at a board and said, and guessed and tried to solve the puzzle and said right in the butt when instead it was just this is the best. And just to speak to Pat Sejack, the contestant afterwards gave some interviews and said they paused the show after that.

Pat Sejack came over, consoled him a little bit, talked with him about it and he was like Pat was such a professional. Like, he really made me feel good about it. So that's just one little anecdote of how Pat was a good guy. I feel like we've had this conversation before, but what show would you most like the host? I feel like the answer is probably Jeopardy. Yeah, it's got to be Jeopardy. Or this British Game Show Only Connect, which is super hardcore nerdy that you can find on YouTube

if you really want to melt your brain. So I want to be the Jeopardy host. Like, after this, after we do 40 years here, like after Ken Jennings, like that is my dream job. So we have 7,661 episodes left before we can catch Sajak. Well, I can see it in your future. All right. That is all the time we have for today. Thanks so much for listening.

Hope you have a chill Friday and eat some donuts today because it is National Donut Day. And a bunch of donut chains are offering deals. What is your favorite donut? Boston cream. Easy. I love a Boston cream. All right. For any feedback on the show, our inbox is open 24-7.
