S2E20 - In this episode, Kent and Kyle have radical ideas for fixing what’s broken. The brothers dive deep into the intersection of politics, economics, AI, and societal structure. They begin by reacting to tragic flooding news out of Texas before exploring how emerging technologies and entrenched government inefficiencies are shaping the American future. With humor, honesty, and the willingness to challenge party lines, they unpack difficult questions around AI-driven productivity, the national debt, health care reform, and systemic resistance to change.
