Just hours before a fragile ceasefire deadline, tensions between the U.S. and Iran are escalating — and the political fallout at home is already taking shape.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov sit down with Ben Shapiro, one of the most influential voices on the right, who has called this the “single bravest foreign policy move” of his lifetime. But as the risk of a prolonged conflict grows, so do the stakes: for American power, for President Trump, and for the future of the Republican Party.

They press Shapiro on whether this risks becoming the kind of “forever war” Republicans once opposed, what a realistic definition of “winning” actually looks like, and how this moment could reshape the GOP heading into 2028. They also dive into the fractures emerging inside the conservative movement — from Tucker Carlson and the right-wing media ecosystem to the growing divide among younger Republicans.

Alice Han and James Kynge break down the forces reshaping China’s economy and its growing influence in the global AI race.

They start with the macro picture: China’s Q1 GDP came in stronger than expected, but the headline number masks a more uneven recovery — with infrastructure spending doing much of the heavy lifting, while consumer demand remains soft, property prices continue to fall, and auto sales stay under pressure.

From there, they move into one of the most striking shifts in the global tech economy: China’s emerging advantage in AI. In particular, its rapid rise as a leading exporter of “tokens” — the computational units that power large language models and agentic AI systems. With lower costs, rapid scaling, and increasingly competitive open-weight models, Chinese AI firms are beginning to reshape global pricing and usage dynamics across the industry.

They also examine Beijing’s expanding use of export controls — spanning rare earth minerals to advanced solar technologies — and how this evolving strategy fits into a broader effort to manage global supply chains and respond to rising economic decoupling.

Finally, they turn to China’s domestic innovation boom, from unconventional consumer products like in-car toilets and water bikes to headline-grabbing advances in robotics, including a humanoid robot that recently completed a half-marathon ahead of human runners. Is this just spectacle, or a signal of deeper industrial and engineering momentum?
