Summary

In a week defined by war and shifting alliances, Mike Malone and Scott Budman break down the Pentagon's pivot from Anthropic to OpenAI and the surging $80 oil crisis. We explore why tech giants are now offering to pay for town power grids and the new AI chip export rules that could change global trade forever. Is America heading toward a dangerous era of isolationism, or is this the only way to "defang the dragon"?
