    You Might Also Like: Possible with Reid Hoffman

    Introducing AI’s midterm coalitions, Anthropic’s safety bill, and VC conflicts from Possible with Reid Hoffman. Follow the show: Possible with Reid Hoffman Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger weigh in on AI policy heading into the midterms, from Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar’s proposal to ban superintelligence to Anthropic’s own frontier AI safety bill. They map the political coalitions forming around AI regulation, including a bipartisan push from Chris Murphy and Josh Hawley to hold developers liable when AI agents hack. Reid explains why pausing AI for a congressional process would be a mistake. He argues AI companies should work with any administration but stay transparent about political spending, and that government can borrow expertise through councils and working groups. He also makes the case for his dual mandate: keep America in the lead on AI while making sure it helps people now. They also examine Satya Nadella’s call to treat AI models as potential insider risks, the public feud between Factory and Cognition, and whether VCs can still back competing AI startups. Along the way, Reid uses water-cooler conversations to explore where company IP ends and human nature begins.

Although these three men have never met, their experiences reveal chilling similarities about the dark forces operating beyond the veil.

    RELOADED | 831: Spiritual Warfare Backfires Without Authority

    In this episode, Tony sits down with Dr. Laura Sanger and Vicki Joy Anderson for a grounded and challenging conversation on spiritual warfare, authority, and preparation. They break down where a believer’s authority actually comes from, why Scripture never treats spiritual warfare as optional, and how misunderstanding time, identity, and lineage can leave people exposed. The discussion addresses generational iniquity, deliverance versus exorcism, and the danger of engaging spiritual conflict without proper preparation. Drawing from biblical examples, personal testimony, and practical theology, the conversation reframes warfare as participation in Christ’s already-won victory. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re prepared for the fight, or where authority in Christ begins, this episode will challenge you to engage in the fight.

    How do you escape a nightmare that keeps bringing you back to the same world? In this episode, Tony welcomes Amelie, whose recurring childhood dreams led her through a locked gate into a sprawling realm she eventually mapped from memory. Two seemingly friendly snake guides promised to teach her its secrets, but curiosity soon gave way to terrifying assignments. Night after night, she returned to familiar paths—and places where she knew something would be waiting.As Amelie walks Tony through her map, she describes a hidden landscape that felt less like a dream and more like a second life. Tony recognizes unsettling parallels with stories he has heard before, while she explains how her Christian faith changed her understanding of the beings she once trusted. But the deeper they follow those connections, the more troubling the question becomes: what were her guides preparing her for?
