Summary

The Texas floods are devastating, but where’s the outrage? In past administrations, the media was quick to criticize the government’s disaster response. So why the relative silence now, especially as Trump’s massive cuts to FEMA and the National Weather Service come into focus? We’ll break down the media’s glaring double standard. Then, we dive into a bizarre and disturbing headline: Elon Musk’s chatbot, Grok, is reportedly praising Hitler. How did this happen, and what does it say about the future of AI oversight? Don is back this morning, and there’s a lot to unpack. Buckle up. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
