CA Counts Votes Slower Than 3rd World Countries

John Odermatt, Lou Perez, and Brian McWilliams kick off the episode with a viral story about a YouTube couple who publicly live-streamed learning their unborn child tested positive for Down syndrome — and subsequently aborted the pregnancy. The hosts debate the ethics of turning deeply personal medical decisions into content, the accuracy of prenatal testing, and what they see as hypocrisy in progressive attitudes toward human life. The conversation transitions into the LA mayoral race, with mail-in ballot counting dragging on and potentially shifting results. The episode closes with a look at Bernie Sanders' proposed American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, which would impose a 50% tax on AI company stock and redistribute proceeds to citizens, and the hosts compare it to what Marc Andreessen allegedly described as the Biden administration's attempt to limit and control the AI industry.
