From Trump’s tariffs and broken promises to the AI revolution and why the middle class keeps getting bodied, Fareed breaks it all down with surgical precision. He dives deep on Israel’s aggression, U.S. bombing Iran, birthright citizenship, and what the hell is going on with rare earths, semiconductors, and China’s grip on Africa.
