Summary

Josh Johnson dives into the peace deal Trump brokered between Israel and Hamas, and the president's heightened focus on a supposedly more dangerous and local enemy: Antifa. As troops menace Portland, Trump uses the Antifa bogeyman to justify military invasion, suspension of habeas corpus, and a bunch of other random agendas. On “Tech Yeah,” our expert Grace Kuhlenschmidt breaks down the biggest news in innovation, including the realer-than-life Sora 2 video generation tool, new big-screen It Girl (and AI actress) Tilly Norwood, and the first-ever robot Olympics, where the athletes come pre-programmed with CTE. Content creator, ICU nurse, and “Stories From a Stranger” author Hunter Prosper sits down with Josh to discuss his book, inspired by videos in which he interviews strangers about their lives. They talk about the importance of going deeper than small talk, the similarities between his work as a nurse and as a creator, finding a silver lining in every story he hears, and what it was like immortalizing his grandfather’s experiences in the book.
