Alex Keeney and Brian Golden break down Trump’s new “superintelligence” framing for AI, prediction markets around AI regulation and U.S.–China coordination, and the increasingly expensive fight for control of Congress before RealClearPennsylvania’s Charles McElwee joins to examine the battleground House races featuring Scott Perry, Janelle Stelson, Ryan Mackenzie, Rob Bresnahan, Paige Cognetti and Brian Fitzpatrick. Professional sports trader Elf then explains how he arbitrages sportsbooks and exchanges, finds mispriced lines with trading software, sizes positions using the Kelly criterion, uses AI in his workflow, and why he believes execution—not sports fandom—is the real edge in profitable sports trading.
Artificial Intelligence is out. “Super Intelligence” is in — at least if President Trump gets his way.
Alex Keeney and Brian Golden break down Trump’s latest AI comments after he used his U.N. General Assembly appearance to reject broader international controls on AI and promote “super intelligence” as his preferred terminology.
What does that mean for the prediction markets around AI regulation, Anthropic safety incidents, U.S.–China AI coordination and Trump’s attempted AI rebrand? Plus, with six weeks until the midterms, the guys look at the latest polling, campaign money and whether the expanding congressional battlefield is creating new opportunities for traders. Major ad spending is already stretching into traditionally Republican House territory as both parties define their late-cycle battlegrounds. Featured story from Punchbowl News.
Then Charles McElwee joins Eventual for a deep dive into Pennsylvania: Scott Perry and PA-10, PA-07, Rob Bresnahan and Paige Cognetti in PA-08, and what the Keystone State can tell us about the broader midterm environment.
And later, Elf joins the show for college football trades: Notre Dame, Miami, USC, Texas at Tennessee, home-field advantage, Arch Manning vs. Trinidad Chambliss in the Heisman market, rain-delay trading lessons and the eternal question of whether West Coast teams can tackle.
Also on the show: campaign cash, Iran, China, AOC’s 2028 VP market, Oscar season, AI doom, and whether Alex’s Eventual White House keycard still works.
