We're going to talk about American foreign policy, national security, use of force, what the latest sense is between MAGA, Democratic Party, progressives.

Where is this country on the use of force overseas and also the influence of the AI business on politics, how the two political parties are stacking up in terms of getting money from the AI and how they're going to use AI going forward to the future.

But first, before that, my reported monologue.

My mission, I'm really so serious about this, is I'm not a pro at AI.

I'm not in the business and not in the AI business.

And I'm not super genius about technology, but I'm trying to understand and help people understand AI as a cultural story, as a business story, as a technology story, and just as a human story.

Because I know you've seen it on the show when people have come on before.

I know how much ignorance there is about this because it's complicated and people are busy and they don't see the imperative to use it.

And this is like when the internet started, same thing.

I had people in my life say this thing is a fad and it's not a big deal.

And obviously it's transformed our life.

And there are some people saying, some, that AI will transform our lives even more

than the internet.

Now, before we dig into this, some of you, if you're watching, not listening to podcasts, but watching on YouTube, you're saying, Mark, you look like hell today.

Why is that?

So I need to explain that because I don't want to distract you for the whole episode.

I woke up this morning, write my newsletter, get ready for this program and for two-way.

Two things I didn't have that I normally would have, running water and internet access.

So you can imagine my morning, because I initially was a little bit in disbelief.

Again, typically rely on them.
