  • 'If You Can Keep It': The Cracks In The GOP

    'If You Can Keep It': The Cracks In The GOP
    Nov 24 2025
    The Democratic party has been plagued by infighting over everything from its aging leadership to the war in Gaza. We talked about those divisions on the program earlier this month.

    Now, we’re turning our attention to the cracks in the GOP, which over the last few weeks, have only grown wider.

    Shortly after President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, the Republican party appeared to be in lockstep. Nearly a year later, a lot has changed.

    Internal divisions within the GOP include backlash over antisemitism and the release of the Epstein files. President Trump finally signed the order to release said files last week.

    In this installment of our weekly politics series, “If You Can Keep It,” we discuss what these divisions in the Republican party mean for the midterm elections and for its future.

  • The News Roundup For November 21, 2025

    The News Roundup For November 21, 2025
    Nov 21 2025
    Congress voted overwhelmingly to authorize the release of the Epstein files. President Donald Trump welcomed the decision, signing the bill on Wednesday.

    ICE activity in Charlotte, North Carolina, ramped up this week; authorities reportedly made some 250 arrests.

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the economy added 119,000 jobs in September, while the unemployment rate edged up to 4.4%. It is the only jobs report the BLS will release until December. On Wednesday, the agency canceled the October jobs report for the first time in 77 years.

    And, in global news, US President Donald Trump said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman “knew nothing” about the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, in direct contradiction of U.S. intelligence. The president welcomed the kingdom’s de facto ruler to the Oval Office where they announced military and investment deals between the two nations.

    In Gaza this week, some of the deadliest Israeli airstrikes since the U.S. brokered ceasefire took effect on October 10. On Monday, the UN Security Council endorsed Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, including the deployment of an international stabilisation force.

    And the war of words between Trump and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is heating up. However, both sides have indicated they’d be willing to meet face to face.

    We cover the most important stories from around the world in the News Roundup.

  • Fact And Fiction Surrounding The AI Bubble

    Fact And Fiction Surrounding The AI Bubble
    Nov 19 2025
    Groundbreaking. Transformative. A new way to unlock human creativity and productivity.

    Tech CEOs have promised artificial intelligence will do many things for us. They’ve used these promises to justify billions of dollars of investment in building the language models and data centers needed to power AI.

    Four of the world’s biggest tech companies – Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google – have promised to collectively spend $380 billion this year in the AI space.

    That spending has led to huge rallies in these companies’ stock prices. There are now hundreds of private AI companies with values – on paper – of over a billion dollars. And in October, the AI boom created the world’s first company worth $5 trillion – Nvidia.

    So, is this spending justified? Do these companies’ stock values hint at a financial bubble in AI? Or is this situation different?
