Podbit · On Purpose with Jay Shetty
When Joe Biden's political supporters gathered at their home and pushed him to run for president, a young Jill — poolside in a bikini — grabbed a black magic marker, wrote 'NO' on her stomach, and walked silently through the library where they were meeting. She didn't say a word. She didn't need to.
Temporary U.S. tariffs under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act expire at 12:01 a.m. Friday with no congressional action expected. New duties will likely come under Section 301, framed around alleged forced labor — and a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods is already in place.
Shane attended a White House event, where decorated Medal of Honor recipients approached him as fans. The night also featured dirt bike flips on the lawn and a terrifying stealth bomber flyover. He hung out exclusively with troops and avoided the politicians.
Shane argues HB could be a politically viable figure because all his scandals are already public — nothing to hide, nothing to lose. He compares him to Toronto's crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford, who held press conferences owning it all and became beloved.

Watching TikTok get briefly banned in the US crystallised a broader truth: if your critical intelligence infrastructure sits on another country's AI, it can be cut off overnight. Lin Qiao argues every nation — and every company — needs sovereign AI the same way they need sovereign electricity grids.
Trump released declassified documents at a White House speech claiming U.S. elections are vulnerable — but offered no new evidence of fraudulent votes. Georgia's own election chief fired back with a data point so stark it stops the argument cold: exactly one noncitizen vote found going all the way back to 1996.
The US government is positioning itself to greenlight which companies can access frontier AI models before release, under the voluntary Project Golden Eagle. The panel sees this as driven less by safety and more by political and financial interests — a Faustian deal the frontier labs are embracing.
Requiring age verification to access social media sounds protective. But it requires building a database with the real name and birthday of every internet user.
