Episode notes
RFK Overstated An AI Dog Treatment Story
- Jonathan and Katy play an RFK clip where he exaggerates an AI-created mRNA cure for a dog to claim AI could make FDA irrelevant.
- They point out the actual case reduced tumor size and required specialized lab work, not a ChatGPT-style home cure.
SPLC Indictment Is A Political Narrative Not A Smoking Gun
- The DOJ indictment of the SPLC is primarily a narrative play, not a clear legal knockout.
- Hosts point out the indictment targets SPLC informant payments and is being amplified to claim SPLC 'funded' hate groups despite decades of reporting on extremists.
Informant Payments Are Not Funding Extremism
