    GOP Panics

    10/01/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the growing fallout from Donald Trump’s use of taxpayer money for government-funded ads promoting his agenda, as even Republican leaders question whether public funds should be used for political messaging. They analyze Trump’s latest push on artificial intelligence, his meeting with tech executives, and his claims that AI companies can simply “police each other” as questions grow over accountability. Kander and Gupta also dive into the Texas Senate race, as leaked audio reportedly captures Ken Paxton blaming Trump and the Republican convention for hurting his numbers, while James Talarico challenges him to debate. Plus, they discuss the Supreme Court’s Missouri map ruling and the growing backlash from cattle groups over ICE operations disrupting agricultural communities and driving up costs. This and more on the podcast that helps you, the majority of Americans who believe in progress, convince your conservative friends and family to join us—this is Majority 54!

    Republicans Abandon Ship

    09/23/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down growing tensions among Republican candidates over the Iran war, as Mike Rogers, Ashley Hinson, Jon Husted, and Tom Tiffany call for an end to the conflict amid rising gas prices. They analyze Republicans distancing themselves from Trump, including Byron Donalds removing references to Trump from his campaign website, and the growing political divide within the GOP. Kander and Gupta also discuss new polling showing Democrats leading Republicans on the generic congressional ballot, while voters give Democrats an advantage on the economy, foreign policy, and gas prices. Plus, they discuss Trump’s approval rating, shifting Hispanic voter attitudes, Senator John Curtis’s call for an investigation into Donald Trump Jr., and Trump’s remarks at the United Nations.

    The Skillbatical

    09/22/2026 | 12 mins.
    To celebrate the launch of his new book, The Invisible List, Ravi shares an audiobook excerpt about his “skill sabbatical” learning to surf—an exhilarating, difficult, and at times terrifying pursuit. Along the way, he explains how he transformed his life by treating each year like a school year—and himself as his only student. But the chapter isn’t really about surfing; it’s about facing fear, embracing discomfort, and finally tackling the big thing on your invisible list—the one you’ve dreamed of doing since you were a kid.

    A.I. Apocalypse

    09/17/2026 | 59 mins.
    Ravi Gupta and Ed Elson, co-host of Prof G Markets with Scott Galloway, break down the growing warnings about AI as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calls for a slower pace of development and stronger safeguards. They discuss Amodei’s proposed solutions, alarming warnings from AI researchers, and the debate over whether companies should receive antitrust exemptions to coordinate on AI safety. Gupta and Elson also examine Trump’s dismissal of AI risks, the influence of David Sacks, and the emerging political debate over how to regulate the technology. Plus, they discuss the economy as Treasury yields cross 5%, Trump’s proposed $5,000 checks, and new polling on which party voters trust more to handle the economy.

    Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s trade fight with Canada, as new tariffs and import restrictions raise tensions between the two countries. They discuss Trump’s increasingly unusual posts and statements, the latest developments in the midterm elections, and new polling in key Senate races across the country. Kander and Gupta also dive into growing concerns about artificial intelligence, as an Anthropic researcher warns about the risks of a race toward superintelligence and new polling finds broad support for greater government regulation. Plus, they discuss the escalating conflict with Iran, rising oil and fuel prices, and the growing possibility of a wider war in the Middle East.
