Summary
JD Vance, Jacob Wenske, Tickle v. Giggle, and Michigan SNAP fraud headline today's A.M. Update. Vance delivers a just war theory address at the Air Force Academy warning graduates that as AI takes over warfare, the moral weight of life and death decisions must stay with humans. A Texas man named Jacob Wenske is arrested on two felony counts for posting bomb threats and death threats against Erika Kirk ahead of the San Antonio TPUSA summit, and Aaron ties it directly to the Candice Owens crowd's slander campaign against her. Reports suggest the DOJ may be looking into E. Jean Carroll for alleged perjury over her claim of receiving no outside funding for her Trump lawsuits, though details remain unconfirmed. Australia's Full Federal Court doubles damages against women-only app Giggle for Girls for blocking a biological male who identified as transgender, Michigan refuses to share SNAP data with the feds despite a 9.53% self-reported fraud rate, and Aaron closes the week with the White House's Harambe tribute post.

| 0:00.0 | It's Friday, May 29th, 2026. We've got a Friday five-pack of news stories and ask or tell me anything next on the AM update. |
| 0:10.5 | Thank you for hanging out again with me on the AM update this week. Hopefully I provided a service for you getting up to date on the day's news as you start your day. |
| 0:20.6 | Of course, on Fridays, that is a Friday five-pack |
| 0:23.9 | of news stories as well as ask or tell me anything. It's your chance to ask me any question. |
| 0:29.7 | Tell me any news story you think needs covered on the AM update. Let's start yesterday at the |
| 0:34.4 | Air Force Academy Vice President J.D. Vance spoke there at their version of commencement. |
| 0:40.5 | And he discussed his big fear in the new age of artificial intelligence when it comes to the military. |
| 0:47.3 | But your fellow Americans are understandably, they're worried about AI, about how it will affect the labor market, how it will distribute |
| 0:55.9 | resources, and how it has fundamentally changed how we interact with one another, our social |
| 1:02.2 | lives. But the thing I worry about most with AI is how it will change warfare. Now, Pope Leo |
| 1:10.7 | the 14th, in a recent document |
| 1:12.8 | encouraged us as human beings |
| 1:15.6 | not to outsource the most important |
| 1:18.9 | moral decisions to digital technology. |
| 1:23.2 | And I want to endorse that sentiment |
| 1:25.5 | and make it more specific to each and every one of you. |
| 1:31.1 | AI will inevitably change warfare. |
| 1:34.6 | And of course, as you've learned of the last four years, it already has. |
| 1:39.6 | But one of the things that makes Americans unique, that makes you as warfighters unique, is that we |
| 1:47.2 | wage war justly. But when I say that we, all of us wage war justly, I mean fundamentally |
| 1:56.6 | that you must do so. Because you are the ones who execute. |
| 2:02.8 | You are the ones who lead on the battlefield. |
