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. He is also the bestselling author of 'Justice Is Coming'.

They explain:

◼ Whether AI will transform the economy or trigger an unemployment crisis

◼ Why Trump's approval rating has collapsed and whether he can survive the midterms

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

◼ Why the US strikes on Iran are raising the price of everything you buy

◼ How Russia and China are quietly strengthening their alliance and what it means for the West
