  The AI Czar Cometh

  Sep 20, 202620 min

  Frank and Maia dig into a wave of Republican defections from Trump — Karl Rove calling out conspiracy theorists in his own party (while getting called a "stone-cold loser" for it), 94-year-old Pat Boone telling Trump to pipe down, and Senator Bill Cassidy publicly pressing his FDA nominee to reject Trump's false claims about measles vaccine safety. The conversation then pivots to Trump's newly announced "AI Force" and AI czar, with Frank laying out concerns that the administration's real goal is state control over companies like OpenAI and Anthropic rather than genuine safety guardrails.

  The New Nuclear: Trump, Chaos, and the AI We're Not Ready For

  Sep 19, 20263 min

  Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding, funded in part by a Russian oligarch. A White House press blackout that's shutting CNN, MSNBC, and Politico out entirely. A Pentagon gone dark on Iran coverage. And a Republican party that's starting to crack from within — Tom Tillis, Thomas Massey, and Marjorie Taylor Greene all breaking ranks. Frank runs through the week's nuggets before turning to the real question: is Trump's "just trust a high-IQ president" approach to AI regulation reckless? Frank and Maya dig into why unchecked AI might deserve the same level of concern we once gave nuclear weapons — and why the clock may be ticking faster than anyone in Washington is willing to admit.
