• Trump Survives Second Assassination Attempt
    Sep 20 2024

    In today's episode, we take a hard look at the alarming issue of political violence, focusing on the recent assassination attempts on Donald Trump. I explain why, regardless of political differences, violence has no place in our society, and those who celebrate it are misguided. Then, we dive into the controversy surrounding Elon Musk’s reposting of AI-generated deepfakes of Kamala Harris and explore how California’s new law could regulate this type of disinformation. While I believe the Supreme Court will strike down this law due to free speech protections, I argue that it's high time we establish a new constitution that specifically addresses the unique challenges AI brings, from speech laws to digital rights, because soon it may become impossible to distinguish between what's real and what's not.

  • Biden Passes The Torch
    Jul 26 2024

    Harris has quickly secured her position as the presumptive Democratic nominee, raising a record-breaking $81 million within 24 hours of her announcement and garnering support from over 2,600 delegates. We explore the controversy surrounding former President Donald Trump's sudden hesitation to debate Harris, leading to widespread criticism and accusations of cowardice. A Harris-Shapiro ticket is also discussed as a game-changer for the Democrats, with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro being considered as Harris's running mate due to his moderate stance, proven track record, and strategic importance in securing Pennsylvania's crucial electoral votes. Shapiro's recent unveiling of new license plates and highway welcome signs as part of the "Pennsylvania: The Great American Getaway" tourism branding campaign is highlighted, showcasing his forward-thinking governance and efforts to boost the state's economy. This ticket's combined experience and appeal could resonate with a wide array of voters, positioning them as a formidable force in the 2024 election.
