Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into the week’s most explosive headlines—from Trump’s bold moves on the global stage, including nuclear posturing and ultimatums to Russia, to Senator Warren’s controversial takes on taxing the rich and the very real repercussions that could have on cities like New York. The conversation pulls no punches, breaking down what happens if billionaires flee, what’s truly driving skyrocketing unaffordability, and the alarming collapse of the middle class as shown by a viral marriage-and-homeownership chart.
But we don’t stop there. You’ll hear Tom and Drew tackle wild policy proposals, like calls to abolish the family from the Democratic Socialists of America, and why the culture-versus-politics debate may be the most crucial fight of our era. From threats to free speech in the UK and EU to the chilling implications of mass surveillance, the episode unpacks how global powers manipulate narratives—and why Americans can’t take core freedoms for granted.
Turning to technology, Tom and Drew geek out on the jaw-dropping pace of AI advancements—from Google’s AI-generated 3D worlds to 11Labs’ game-changing music tools—and wrestle with the looming asteroid of automation: millions of jobs on the line, and an urgent call for everyone to understand assets and self-reliance.
