Hey, everybody. Welcome to NextUp. I'm Mark Halpern, Editor-in-Chief of the live interactive video platform Two-Way, host of NextUp, and your guide to the future, ladies and gentlemen. Big show, a lot of focus on AI because I'm consumed with being everybody's tour guide to what you need to know about AI. I cannot believe how important it is and how little conversation there is amongst regular folks. So coming up, Jeremy Jones, not a regular folks, a young entrepreneur who's put AI at the center of his new business. He's the co-founder of Redder AI, driven by AI. They do political stuff. They do help governments figure out how to find waste, fraud, and abuse. He's currently working on a couple 2026 races, advising Wesley Hunt, who's in a three-way primary for
Mark Halperin 0:48
senate in texas and also steve hilton who's been a guest here before running for governor of california so we're going to talk to him about how he's building an ai company and get his view of how everybody can understand this better because it's just understandably there's just it's a complex thing not everybody understands it and we're trying to help you with that uh then our panel uh former south carolina congressman joe cunningham he's a democrat really thoughtful guy the White House correspondent for Steve Bannon's War Room and a co-host of the show, Natalie Winters, will be here.

What is the significance of the AI revolution for everyday people?

Mark Halperin 1:18
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.
Mark Halperin 2:10
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.
Mark Halperin 2:54
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.

How can entrepreneurs leverage AI to build successful businesses?

Mark Halperin 3:12
So that's why I look like hell. And that's why, for those of you who get my newsletter, why I might have been a little late in your inbox today. Back to the program. I've got friends who work in AI. One in particular I hope to have on the show soon. And I have been consumed for the last several months with haves versus the have-nots we already live in a world in a country and in a world where the gap between the haves and the have-nots is so pronounced uh income inequality uh life life possibility inequality america is supposed to be the land of opportunity for everyone it still is more than any country that's ever existed you can grow up poor and and make yourself successful uh in all sorts of ways including making a lot of money
Mark Halperin 3:57
AI has the potential to exacerbate the haves and the have-nots because to use AI as a powerful tool to advance, grow a business, to be successful in your life requires intellect and it requires time and focus and accumulation of knowledge.
