Episode Trump’s Escape, 5 Years of Taliban Rule, AI Mania
Today on the show, President Trump's plane switch after last month's NATO summit was said to be in response to an assassination threat from Iran. It begs the question: How credible are Iran's threats against the president and, more broadly, against the United States? Fareed asks David Sanger of the New York Times.
Then, it’s been five years since the US’ tumultuous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Fareed talks to Jason Kander, a veteran of America’s war there, about what has happened to the thousands of Afghan allies who aided American forces during the war but are now trapped in the country under Taliban rule.
Later, Fareed speaks with Asutosh Padhi, a senior partner at McKinsey about why despite the hype, AI has yet to dramatically reshape the way many businesses operate, or deliver meaningful returns.
Finally, worries of mass layoffs thanks to AI haven’t materialized yet, but what happens if those fears become reality? Fareed asks former US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.
