In a new show on business and finance at this transformative time for the global economy, Ben Shapiro talks directly with the founders, CEOs, and investors building the next decade.

Anson Frericks spent 11 years climbing to the top of Anheuser-Busch, becoming President of Sales and Distribution. He watched in horror as the company he loved traded its relationship with customers for an elitist stakeholder capitalism scorecard. Anson saw the Bud Light collapse coming before it cost the company $30 billion in market value, writing the definitive account of it in his bestseller Last Call for Bud Light.

Ben and Anson break down:

• What really happened inside Anheuser-Busch before the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco

• Why BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have outsized power over corporate America, and how Strive is fighting back

• Whether corporate neutrality is enough, or if conservatives need to push harder

• Why he left the culture wars behind to build an AI company tackling serious mental illness

• What's next as AI, biotech, and capital markets reshape the American economy
