Glenn tells the heartbreaking story of Austin Metcalf, a Texas teenager who sadly lost his life after confronting another student at a track meet for sitting under the wrong tent. How did such a minor interaction lead to a devastating murder? Glenn also discusses the Netflix show "Adolescence" and its eerie parallels to the tragic death of Austin Metcalf. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to weigh the pros and cons of Trump’s newest tariff policies and uses Yoda to help get his point across. Trump’s tariffs could work, but they need to be coupled with tax cuts, regulation cuts, and spending cuts. Without those, it’s dangerous. An AI bot has just passed a critical test where it can pass as a human, and the AI safety company Anthropic is sounding the alarms. Soon, AI bots will begin making decisions, and humans won’t even realize it. Glenn reads a bone-chilling short story about an AI machine that quickly becomes out of control and god-like. This is what Anthropic is warning is coming by 2030 if we aren’t careful. "Bannon’s War Room" White House correspondent Natalie Winters joins to discuss the alleged organizations behind the coordinated Tesla attacks. Glenn takes some calls from his audience regarding Trump’s tariffs.
