Hosted by Nosheen Iqbal with Michael Steinberger and Johana Bhuiyan, the episode delves into the origins of Palantir and its founder Alex Karp, including how his political views have evolved over time.

The program examines Palantir's founding, its services, and its close ties to the US military and national security agencies. It also looks into how Palantir has navigated the political landscape during the second Trump presidency.

Further coverage includes Palantir's relationship with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as well as its involvement with NHS data in the United Kingdom.
