Ravi Gupta breaks down what he sees as a major U.S. loss in Iran, arguing that Trump’s threats and ceasefire ultimately left Iran with more power and America with less. He also shares clips of Hasan Piker’s commentary, arguing that Democratic candidates and media outlets should stop treating him as a credible political voice. The episode also covers early reactions to Mayor Mamdani’s first 100 days, Anthropic’s warning about a powerful new AI model, and fresh questions about Sam Altman. It’s a sharp, wide-ranging take on politics, media, and the power struggles shaping the moment.
