Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle Erika Kirk’s fierce pushback against conspiracy theories surrounding her husband’s murder, President Trump’s plan to block states from regulating artificial intelligence, and why so many people seem horrified by large families.

First, they applaud Erika Kirk for publicly condemning Candace Owens and others promoting baseless claims that Charlie Kirk’s murder was an inside job at Turning Point USA. Although not mentioning Owens or anyone else by name, Kirk denounced the accusations as dangerous, unhealthy, and driven by a “mind virus.” Jim says she shouldn’t have to defend her family from such nonsense but he appreciates her speaking out.

Next, they shake their heads as President Trump prepares an executive order barring states from regulating artificial intelligence. Trump argues the U.S. needs a single national standard, not fifty, when it comes to AI. Jim points out that an executive order cannot stop state legislation. A congressional statute could do that but Congress hasn't even begun to address AI. Both Jim and Greg say protecting personal liberty should take priority over staying ahead in the AI race.

Finally, they discuss the case of Philip Rivers, the longtime NFL quarterback who signed with the Indianapolis Colts practice squad nearly five years after retiring. The news has also revived widespread social media mockery of Rivers because he has ten children. Why are so many people angry or uncomfortable with the idea of large families?

looking at President Trump's insistence that there only be one set of AI rules, regulations, and he wants to sign an executive order to forbid states from setting their own AI regulations.

He says there should be one set so AI companies don't have to deal with 50 different sets of negotiations.
