Description

Mark Halperin opens today’s episode with a new reported monologue pushing back on the idea that American history began just ten years ago when Donald Trump went down the escalator, highlighting three current controversies with deep roots. He shows how lawfare, the decline of opportunity and purpose among young men, and government shutdown brinkmanship were all entrenched features of American politics and culture long before Trump entered the scene. By tracing their history back decades, Mark explains why these battles should not be seen as Trump-era phenomena, but as part of a much longer story in American life.Then, Mark sits down for a rare conversation with tech pioneer Marc Andreessen about where technology is heading. Andreessen explains why some people thrive with AI while others fall behind – and why it depends less on the tools you have than how you use them. He discusses China’s dangerous edge in AI and manufacturing, reflects on the culture that made Silicon Valley a global force, and hints at the breakthroughs that could redefine how we live, work, and compete in the years ahead.Stay tuned at the end of the episode for a special “Last Up,” featuring a message from Charlie Kirk on freedom, religion, and society – and why they are inseparable.
