In today’s episode, we break down three of the most important global and technological developments shaping the week — stories that impact energy markets, military power balances, and the future of scientific innovation.

First, we look at OPEC+’s decision to pause oil-production increases well into 2026. We examine why the world’s largest oil producers are tapping the brakes, what this means for supply and demand, and how the move could influence gas prices, inflation pressures, and economic stability over the next several years.

Next, we turn to China’s new J-35 stealth fighter jet — Beijing’s answer to America’s F-35. China is now actively marketing the jet to countries in the Middle East, raising new questions about shifting alliances, regional security, and how affordable fifth-generation aircraft could reshape long-standing U.S. influence. We explore the J-35’s capabilities, why it matters, and whether it poses a real strategic threat to the United States.

Finally, we dive into the Genesis Mission — the U.S. government’s bold new plan to revolutionize scientific discovery using artificial intelligence. This national initiative aims to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, medicine, engineering, materials science, and climate research by integrating AI across federal labs and research agencies. We break down what the Genesis Mission is, why it’s launching now, and how it positions America in the global AI race.

This episode connects the dots between geopolitics, national security, energy markets, and cutting-edge technology — giving listeners a clear, concise understanding of why these stories matter and how they affect everyday life here in the United States.
