The deployment of AI-controlled drones that can make autonomous decisions about whether to kill human targets is moving closer to reality, The New York Times reported.Lethal autonomous weapons, that can select targets using AI, are being developed by countries including the US, China, and Israel.The use of the so-called "killer robots" would mark a disturbing development, say critics, handing life and death battlefield decisions to machines with no human input.Several governments are lobbying the UN for a binding resolution restricting the use of AI killer drones, but the US is among a group of nations — which also includes Russia, Australia, and Israel — who are resisting any such move, favoring a non-binding resolution instead, The Times reported.***I'm joined by my guest Chuck Corra, the host of the podcast - Appodlachia.

Two bills proposed by Democrats in Congress this week aim to curb home ownership by big investors in an attempt to improve buying conditions for Americans, the New York Times reported.In the Senate, the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act of 2023 would force big investors to sell off all the single-family homes they own over a period of 10 years, and eventually ban hedge funds from owning any single-family homes entirely. "The housing in our neighborhoods should be homes for people, not profit centers for Wall Street," co-author of the bill, Senator Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said in a press release. "Yet, in every corner of the country, giant financial corporations are buying up housing and driving up both rents and home prices. It's time for Congress to put in place commonsense guardrails that ensure all families have a fair chance to buy or rent a decent home in their community at a price they can afford."***I'm joined by my guest Natalie Bencivenga to discuss why this is welcomed news, but also to discuss why this isn't enough. We also touch on how this issue connects to the 2024 electionRelated article: https://www.businessinsider.com/housing-market-affordability-investors-hedge-funds-wall-street-democrats-bill-2023-12Follow Natalie Bencivenga:TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@nataliebencivenga INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nataliebencivenga/

In a recent poll I conducted on Instagram, 74% of respondents said tipping culture has gotten out of hand in America. Is that true, or is this a more complicated subject?A recent survey by Bankrate found that roughly 66% of Americans have a negative view of tipping. Around 30% of respondents think that tipping culture is “out of control,” with more companies encouraging customers to tip at their counters than ever before. Patrons find the pre-entered tip screens aggravating (32%) and think businesses should pay their employees more rather than rely on gratuity (41%)***I'm joined by my guest PoliticN Lyn to discuss why this is a complicated subjectRelated article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2023/08/01/tipflation-americans-think-tipping-culture-is-out-of-control-and-employees-should-be-paid-more/?sh=54fc09803ae4Follow PoliticN Lyn:TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@theendofthedaynews INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/politicnlyn/

President Joe Biden on Tuesday urged global condemnation of Hamas’ “horrific” use of sexual violence against women and girls in Israel during the group’s Oct. 7 attack.The president, citing survivor and witness accounts, said Hamas repeatedly raped women and girls during the assault and that their bodies were mutilated while they were still alive.“Hamas terrorists inflicting as much pain and suffering on women and girls as possible and then murdering them. It is appalling,” Biden said during a campaign reception in Boston.“It’s on all of us — government, international organizations, civil society and businesses — to forcefully condemn the sexual violence of Hamas terrorists without equivocation. Without equivocation, without exception,” he added***I'm joined by my guest Kiki May to discuss what the President said, why we think he's bringing attention to this now & WHY we have a problem with it Related article: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/05/biden-condemn-sexual-violence-hamas-00130221Follow KikiMay:TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@kikimay612INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kikimay612/

More than 130 former Barack Obama campaign staffers and political appointees — including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., — are urging the ex-president to push for a ceasefire.In a letter sent on Friday, the 133 alumni asked Obama to “leverage” his influence to push his former vice president and other elected officials toward supporting a ceasefire, brokering the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian civilians, and setting a path for collective peace.***I'm joined by my guest Kiki May to discuss what impact this could have, why this is significant & our feelings on President Obama's legacy Related article: https://theintercept.com/2023/11/14/obama-israel-gaza-ceasefire-letter/Our Guest:Kiki May: https://www.tiktok.com/@kikimay612

The Biden administration announced they waived 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow border wall construction on Wednesday, marking the administration’s first use of sweeping executive power to pave the way for building more border barriers — a tactic used often during the Trump presidency.The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the U.S. Federal Registry with few details outlining the construction in Starr County, Texas, which is part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing “high illegal entry.” According to government data, about 245,000 illegal entries have been recorded in this region during the current fiscal year.“There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,” Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, stated in the notice.The Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act were some of the federal laws waived by DHS to make way for construction that will use funds from a congressional appropriation in 2019 for border wall construction. The waivers avoid time-consuming reviews and lawsuits challenging violation of environmental laws.Related article: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/biden-administration-waives-26-federal-laws-border-wall-103738662Our Guests For This Week:Blair Walsingham: https://twitter.com/BlairWalsinghamKiki May: https://www.tiktok.com/@kikimay612

Less than two weeks before Election Day, Hillary Clinton held a clear lead in the polls and it looked like her campaign was trying to run up the score — just as the race was about to turn upside down.with 12 days left in the election — the campaign blasted out an advisory to reporters announcing that the former secretary of state would be campaigning in reliably Republican Arizona, a move that suggested her team was gunning to compete in states well beyond the battlegrounds they needed for victory against GOP nominee Donald Trump.In retrospect, however, the race was never as stable as it appeared. A contest featuring the two most unpopular candidates in modern presidential campaign history made the political terrain unstable — and more susceptible to sudden shifts.Related article: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/12-days-stunned-nation-how-hillary-clinton-lost-n794131Our Guests For This Week:Blair Walsingham: https://twitter.com/BlairWalsinghamKiki May: https://www.tiktok.com/@kikimay612

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton railed against supporters of former President Trump during a new CNN interview, comparing those who still support the former president after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection to members of a cult.“Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members,” she said in a clip released late Thursday.“And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure,” Clinton added. “He’s only in it for himself.”She predicted Trump will likely be the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, and she believes President Biden can beat him again.Related article: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4241678-hillary-clinton-maga-cult-members-need-deprogramming/Our Guests For This Week:Blair Walsingham: https://twitter.com/BlairWalsinghamKiki May: https://www.tiktok.com/@kikimay612

Iran sent a message to Israel on Saturday stressing that it does not want further escalation in the Hamas-Israel war, but that it will have to intervene if the Israeli operation in Gaza continues, two diplomatic sources with knowledge of the situation told Axios.The fighting between Hamas and Israel will turn into a regional war if Iran gets involved either directly or indirectly, such as through a militant group in Syria or by backing any Hezbollah decision to fully join the fighting.Iran's message, sent to Israel through the UN, comes as the Biden administration has been trying to deter Iran and Lebanon-backed Hezbollah, supported by Iran, from joining the war. This week, the U.S. sent an aircraft carrier group and fighter jets to the region. Related article: https://www.axios.com/2023/10/14/iran-warning-israel-hezbollah-hamas-war-gaza

Israeli warplanes hammered the Gaza Strip neighborhood by neighborhood Tuesday, reducing buildings to rubble and sending people scrambling to find safety in the tiny, sealed-off territory now suffering severe retaliation for the deadly weekend attack by Hamas militants.Humanitarian groups pleaded for the creation of corridors to get aid into Gaza and warned that hospitals overwhelmed with wounded people were running out of supplies. Israel has stopped entry of food, fuel and medicines into Gaza, and the sole remaining access from Egypt shut down Tuesday after airstrikes hit near the border crossing.The war, which has claimed at least 1,900 lives on both sides, is expected to escalate. The weekend attack that Hamas said was retribution for worsening conditions for Palestinians under Israeli occupation has inflamed Israel’s determination to crush the group’s hold in Gaza. New exchanges of fire over Israel’s northern borders with militants in Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday pointed to the risk of an expanded regional conflict.Related article: https://apnews.com/article/rfk-jr-presidential-campaign-independent-2024-30d940109c4956de9c81f332ec418463

U.S. President Joe Biden's chances of re-election are being jeopardized by voters' concerns over his age, the economy and crime, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, creating an opportunity for Republican challenger Donald Trump to return to the White House.The opinion poll found Democrat Biden, 80, tied in a hypothetical November 2024 election against Trump, 77, the former president who is the front-runner for the Republican nomination, with both receiving 39% of the vote and one in five voters undecided.Democrats held a strong advantage among voters most concerned about protecting abortion rights, while Republicans had an edge among those worried about crime, the poll found.Trump remains politically viable despite a battery of federal and state criminal charges revolving around his attempts to overturn Biden's 2020 election win and his mishandling of classified documents since leaving office. He is expected to spend much of next year in courtrooms standing trial while also campaigning.Related article: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-weighed-by-economic-concerns-age-potential-2024-rematch-with-trump-2023-09-15/Our Guest For This Week:Fresh Faces New Ideas: https://twitter.com/FresherIdeasNew

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he is launching an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, yielding to mounting pressure from former President Donald Trump and his allies in what’s shaping up as an election-year clash between Congress and the White House.In a statement Tuesday, McCarthy said the House investigations into the Biden family this year have uncovered a “culture of corruption” that demands deeper review.“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption,” McCarthy said.McCarthy said he will direct the chairmen of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means committees to lead the impeachment inquiry. The panels have been working together for months on various probes related to the Biden family and have yet to directly connect the president to any of it.The White House called the effort “extreme politics at its worst.”Related article: https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-congress-oversight-republicans-impeachment-57c5b1b40d19ede4ecf7fde08c027ceeOur Guests For This Week:Little Miss Marxist: https://www.instagram.com/littlemissmarxist/Kes: https://www.tiktok.com/@kes.io

Today, a federal judge has ordered Louisiana officials to stop housing children in the former death row of Louisiana State Penitentiary, known as Angola, and to remove them from the location by Sept. 15.The ruling, which Chief Judge Shelly Dick delivered from the bench, comes after a seven-day hearing in August, in which lawyers for the children and their families put on evidence that the children are routinely held in solitary confinement, deprived of their right to an education, treatment and other rehabilitative services, and have been held in inhumane conditions.Judge Dick found the conditions of confinement at Angola constitute cruel and unusual punishment, and the punitive atmosphere and systemic programming failures violate the 14th Amendment and violate federal law protecting children with disabilities.Related article: https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/judge-orders-louisiana-to-remove-children-from-angola-prison-by-september-15Our Guests For This Week:805 Uncensored: https://www.instagram.com/805uncensoredpod/Heather Schmidt: https://www.instagram.com/heather.schmidt.writer/

Donald Trump is polling even with President Joe Biden in a likely 2024 rematch, sparking mixed feelings among Democrats 14 months from Election Day. Some are alarmed by the neck-and-neck race, while Biden campaign officials and other allies downplay the recent polls as meaningless this early in the cycle.But there’s one thing Democratic strategists agree on: An insurrection scheme and a torrent of criminal charges won’t be enough to stop the former president and runaway Republican primary front-runner from returning to the White House.“Despite awaiting trial on 91 felony counts, Trump is a coin flip away from the presidency,” Dan Pfeiffer, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, wrote. “Because of the Electoral College and our highly polarized politics, we should assume that every presidential election will depend on a number of voters smaller than the attendees at a Taylor Swift concert.”Related article: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/biden-trump-tied-polls-rcna103893

Buying a home in California slipped further out of reach as interest rates climbed and scarce inventory bolstered prices.Only 16% of households could qualify to purchase a median-priced single-family home in the second quarter, the California Association of Realtors reported Friday. That’s down from 19% in the first quarter and 17% a year earlier.The state faces an affordability crisis that threatens to hamper growth in the economy and population. People and companies have left California, or chosen not to move there, because housing is so much more expensive than in most of the US.Related article: https://fortune.com/2023/08/11/california-home-prices-real-estate-affordability/Our Guests For This Week:CJ (vanguardigan): https://www.tiktok.com/@vanguardigan

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Saturday reiterated his pledge to send US Special Forces into Mexico to confront drug cartels if he is elected president, saying, “We are going to act.”Speaking to reporters at Saturday’s first stop of the “Never Back Down” bus tour through Iowa, the Republican presidential hopeful said, “It’s humiliating to see the cartels have that type of control. They are effectively invading our country and killing our people.”The Florida governor first addressed the issue Wednesday night at the GOP presidential debate. When asked whether he would support sending Special Forces into Mexico, DeSantis answered clearly: “Yes, and I will do it on day one.”Related article: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/26/politics/desantis-special-forces-mexico/index.htmlOur Guests For This Week:CJ (vanguardigan): https://www.tiktok.com/@vanguardigan
