What's the putdown that Donald Trump loves to dish but can't take? Loser.
Daniel Schreiber, CEO of Lemonade and founder of the MOSAIC AI Policy Institute, makes a case that the wealth generated by AI can be captured and redistributed to leave nearly everyone better off, without raising taxes or punishing innovation. "Poverty should end in the era of abundance," he says. "It should simply end."
Bradley argues AI has hit its own "Google 2017 moment" and that the regulatory environment tech companies enjoy today may be the most permissive it will ever be. He also ranks his all-time top 25 TV shows (The Wire, by statute, is number one) and weighs in on the Knicks playoff run.
Justin Cohen, co-founder of Dads for All, joins Bradley to discuss how social isolation, economic anxiety, and polarization have created both a crisis and an opportunity around men in politics, and how local organizing around shared interests can counter the left's drift away from men.
Bradley walks through the numbers on a potential OpenAI IPO, framing it as a conflict between math and mythology — a debt-laden company with massive losses against the mythology of its market position. He also recounts a weekend walk down Broadway from the Bronx to the Staten Island Ferry.
Caitlin Lewis, Executive Director of Work for America, makes the case for state and local government as an underrated career move, discussing long hiring processes, displaced federal workers finding new paths, and why idealism is alive and well in the public sector.
Bradley discusses the changes he made after turning 50: protein shakes, testosterone therapy, sleep apnea treatment, a planned stay at the Hoffman Institute, and giving up ice cream entirely. He reflects on the relationship between physical health and what actually makes a person happy.
Manoush Zomorodi, author of Body Electric, joins Bradley to explain how digital habits damage physical health in underappreciated ways, and argues that as little as five minutes of movement every half hour has meaningful health and productivity benefits. Bradley argues, in turn, that smartphones manufactured an ADD epidemic in otherwise normal people.
Bradley treats sandwiches as a vehicle for reflecting on human connection, recounting the po'boy that made him fall for New Orleans, a brisket at a Texas wedding, and a fish sandwich in Bellevue. He also responds to a listener who pushed back on his characterization of Mayor Mamdani as "a nice guy."
Is there any level of American government that is actually doing its job well?
Why is that so hard? Bradley argues that the zero-sum mentality driving our politics and social media has infected our basic daily behavior — the phone zombies blocking subway doors, the gym hogs who won't let you work in, the airplane line-cutters — and that only a shift in social norms, not legislation, can fix it.
Are you climbing the right mountain, or just getting really good at the wrong one? Bradley sits down with Judah Taub — Israeli intelligence veteran, cybersecurity investor, and author of How to Move Up When the Only Way is Down — who borrows a concept from machine learning called the "local maximum" to explain why smart people and successful companies so often underperform their potential.
Is the richest, most productive state in America about to shoot itself in the foot?
Bradley sits down with Matt Wing and Josh Mohrer to talk about Smith & Moses, their newly launched AI venture that ingests every bill introduced in the New York State legislature in real time, summarizes it in plain English, and scores each legislator based on the impact and passage rate of their bills.
With support for Israel eroding faster than most people realize — a recent poll found 70% of American Jews oppose continued military aid — Bradley argues that the greatest existential threat to Israel is not its avowed enemies but the retrenchment of its most reliable ally.
Can government catch up to a technology moving faster than any regulatory response ever has?
Is Mayor Mamdani's first hundred days as mayor a genuine reason for celebration, or just a decent start before the hard part kicks in?
Is Mayor Mamdani's first hundred days as mayor a genuine reason for celebration, or just a decent start before the hard part kicks in? Bradley gives the mayor real credit for focusing on the operational stuff that actually matters to New Yorkers, but says that if he's serious about running this city, he should start making the case for bringing the subways and buses back under city control, the way Bloomberg brought the schools back under mayoral control in 2002.
Amid meme coins, scams, and scary price swings, something more consequential is quietly happening in the crypto world: stablecoins are offering a faster, cheaper way to transact — the original promise that Bitcoin made but never quite delivered on.
What if we human beings are an evolutionary anomaly, a species that discovered how to destroy ourselves before we learned how not to?
Sebastian Mallaby, author of The Infinity Machine, joins Bradley to argue that Demis Hassabis may be the rarest breed: a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and world-changing CEO who cares deeply about safety.
We all need to stop worrying about who the Democrats will nominate in 2028, argues Bradley.
One big reason that the Left has grown so powerful in the city, Bradley argues, is that the Partnership for New York — the group that should have been fighting for centrist, pro-business interests — never showed any inclination to play politics.
Progressives make life hard on the rest of us, Bradley argues, by claiming to champion the poorest Americans while supporting policies that reflect their own biases and selfishness.
Why do a small minority of selfish, fear-mongering people wield so much power over the rest of us?
Bradley sits down with Andrew Lacy, founder and CEO of Prenuvo, to explore how full-body MRI scans are shifting healthcare from reactive to proactive — and why that shift could be the most important change in medicine today.
But in taking a principled stand against the Pentagon and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, it will gain valuable trust with customers, argues Bradley, and that means winning the war.
"We don't need purity," says Bradley. "We don't need saviors." The remaking of our institutions starts from the middle, he argues, which has a lot of untapped power against the extremes on both sides.
Calling in from Istanbul, Bradley opens with impressions of a historically rich but complicated city — ancient cisterns, street cats, a shady taxi driver, and bomb-proof doors on a synagogue.
