Episode Attacks in Saudi & Fanatics Goes All-In on Gambling 10/14/26
Fighting intensified overnight in the Middle East between Saudi-backed forces and Iran’s Houthi rebel allies. Former Biden White House Senior Advisor Amos Hochstein tells us why the U.S. has been sitting out the conflict and that he’s stopped understanding U.S. strategy in the region. Fanatics is upping its advertising spend in its gambling business as it looks to compete with industry giants Fanduel and DraftKings. Founder & CEO Michael Rubin says he believes it is a good long-term business despite persistent headwinds. Plus, the FBI arrests an OpenAI employee who allegedly planted a recording device in a conference room and more Senators come out against President Trump’s diesel deal with Russia.
