Summary

Jessica Tarlov is back with Friday regular Aaron Parnas for a packed end-of-week rundown. They dive into TIME’s Person of the Year debate — is 2025 really the year of AI, not Trump? — and break down rising tensions after President Trump’s seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker. They also unpack the GOP’s internal chaos over expiring ACA subsidies, the high-stakes showdown between Netflix and Paramount, and the growing influence of Zohran Mamdani as Brad Lander jumps into NY-10. Plus: predictions on next week’s Epstein files, a very online moment from Piers Morgan’s interview with Nick Fuentes, and what’s making both Jessica and Aaron rage this week.
