About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss Monday’s mass shooting in midtown and its political impact of New York on the city’s mayoral race. And, they discuss Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu disagreeing on the severity of the food crisis in Gaza. What has been the role of misleading and fake images in shaping public opinion? Then, they talk about a New York Times report that Harvard is the next Ivy League school to consider settling with the federal government over accusations of violating civil rights laws, one week after Columbia University agreed to pay $220 million to reinstate its federal grants and end investigations. Plus, they chat about the controversy over a new set of ads from American Eagle featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. Critics have denounced the ads for including what they see as racist dog whistles, while supporters say the commercials signal the “death of woke advertising”. And finally, Carl talks to former congressman Brad Carson, head of Americans for Responsible Innovation, about President Trump’s “AI Action Plan” and how regulation of artificial intelligence will help shape America’s future economy and security.
