  • How America Is Committing “Superpower Suicide” ft. Timothy Synder | Shane Smith Has Questions

    How America Is Committing “Superpower Suicide” ft. Timothy Synder | Shane Smith Has Questions
    Oct 15 2026
    Historian and bestselling author Timothy Snyder joins Shane Smith for a wide-ranging conversation about what he calls America’s “superpower suicide” and what it could mean for the future of the United States and the world. Snyder explains why he believes the U.S. is voluntarily giving up many of the advantages that made it powerful, while Russia has followed its own path of self-destruction through the war in Ukraine. They discuss how drones are changing modern warfare, the threat of nuclear proliferation, Russia’s influence on the American right, and why Snyder sees the war in Ukraine as part of a much larger global struggle between democracy, oligarchy and authoritarianism. The conversation also turns to the upcoming midterm elections, foreign interference and propaganda, the relationship between corruption and affordability, the power of billionaires, and Snyder’s concerns about artificial intelligence making people less capable rather than more capable. Finally, Snyder shares what worries him most about the years ahead, along with the political movements and democracies that still give him hope.

  • “I Don’t See Anybody in Charge Here” | w/Renée DiResta on AI, Election Interference & Propaganda | Shane Smith Has Questions

    “I Don’t See Anybody in Charge Here” | w/Renée DiResta on AI, Election Interference & Propaganda | Shane Smith Has Questions
    Oct 1 2026
    Renée DiResta has spent the past decade investigating how propaganda, foreign influence and conspiracy theories spread online. Now, as the midterms approach and AI makes manipulation faster and cheaper, she warns that America may be returning to where it was before the 2016 election—with fewer safeguards and no one clearly in charge. DiResta joins Shane Smith to discuss Russia’s election operations, Chinese and Iranian influence campaigns, the Stanford Internet Observatory, the Election Integrity Partnership and the controversy over censorship. They also examine Cambridge Analytica, political influencers, “ampliganda,” AI-generated scams and the algorithms deciding what millions of people see. Who creates the lie? Who gives it reach? And how can we protect elections without policing legitimate political speech? Renée DiResta is an associate research professor at Georgetown University and the author of Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality.
