EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary and political commentator Cenk Uygur go head to head on whether AI will save or destroy the economy, why American politicians are being bought by AI companies, whether Israel is the real force driving America's war with Iran, and why Cenk believes Tucker Carlson is the only person who can save America in 2028. Kevin O'Leary is an entrepreneur, investor, and one of the most recognisable faces on Shark Tank. He is also the founder and chairman of O'Leary Ventures and bestselling author of ‘Cold Hard Truth’. Cenk Uygur is a Turkish-American political commentator and co-founder of The Young Turks, the the longest-running daily online stream in internet history.

- Whether the US stock market is heading for a crash and what it means for your money
