Big Tech is spending more on AI than ever before, but investors are starting to question when that investment will actually pay off. John Petrides of Tocqueville Asset Management joins Zaid to break down Google's surprising earnings reaction, why soaring AI capital spending is becoming a growing concern, and what to expect from Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta as earnings season heats up. They also discuss rising oil prices, the possibility of Fed rate hikes, whether markets are underestimating geopolitical risks, and why the health of the U.S. consumer could become the biggest story of the second half of the year. If AI has been the market's biggest tailwind, this conversation explores what could happen if that narrative begins to change.

In this weekend deep dive, Zaid breaks down Kimi K3, the new Chinese AI model that rattled tech stocks and revived fears that America’s AI lead is shrinking. Zaid explains why cheaper open-weight models could pressure companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, why this might be a good thing for Nvidia and the broader AI buildout, and what Washington should do as China closes the gap.

Markets are hovering near record highs, but many investors still feel like the rally has lost its momentum. In this episode, Zaid sits down with Fundstrat economic strategist Hardika Singh to discuss why AI and memory stocks have cooled off, what to watch during earnings season, and why Big Tech's AI spending remains the market's biggest story. They also break down the latest signals from the Federal Reserve, why the labor market may now matter more than inflation, and what recent bank earnings reveal about the strength of the U.S. consumer. Finally, Hardika shares her outlook for the second half of the year, including whether blockbuster AI IPOs like OpenAI and Anthropic may have to wait.

In this weekend deep dive, Zaid breaks down Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI and the wild allegations involving stolen laptops, confidential files, and Apple hardware brought to job interviews. He also looks at why Apple may be using the case to slow OpenAI’s hardware ambitions, what Sam Altman and Jony Ive are actually building, and the bad blood between Apple's next CEO John Ternus and OpenAI's hardware chief Tang Tan
