In this episode of the _Back to Business Podcast_, Sarah Annas, Shaya Baum, and Michael Kassab break down some of the biggest stories making headlines, including Hunter Biden’s laptop controversy, an Israeli student disqualified after displaying the Israeli flag, Russia’s mounting battlefield casualties in Ukraine, and the arrests surrounding a controversial march in Dearborn. 🔹 Hunter Biden’s Laptop: The Repairman Responds Hunter Biden told Tucker Carlson that he has no recollection of leaving his laptop at the Delaware computer repair shop. Now, the repair shop owner is pushing back, saying the man who entered his store identified himself as Hunter Biden before dropping off the laptop. We discuss the conflicting accounts, media coverage, and the questions that still surround one of the most controversial political stories in recent years. 🔹 Israeli Student Disqualified After Displaying Israeli Flag Israeli high school student Yotam Budnik won gold at the 2026 International Olympiad in Informatics, but was later disqualified after displaying an Israeli flag on the podium. We discuss the controversy and ask a larger question: Should a student’s national identity overshadow an academic achievement they already earned? 🔹 Russia Suffers Nearly 43,000 Battlefield Casualties in One Month Russia reportedly suffered nearly 43,000 soldiers killed or wounded in Ukraine during July. As casualties continue to mount and recruitment becomes increasingly difficult, we discuss how long Russia can sustain these losses and whether the human cost of the war could eventually change Putin’s strategy. 🔹 22 Arrested During Controversial March in Dearborn Hundreds gathered in Dearborn for a planned “Christian Crusader March,” where counterprotesters also showed up and tensions escalated. Police ultimately arrested 22 people on misdemeanor charges. New episodes every Wednesday at 10 AM.
