Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito issued a sharp dissent, while LULAC CEO Juan Pranio praised the ruling for preventing hundreds of thousands of children from becoming stateless. Following the decision, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressional Republicans are reportedly pivoting to a legislative roadmap provided by Justice Brett Kavanaugh to address birth tourism and the SAVE Act. In the technology sector, Ford CEO Jim Farley announced a major shift back to human labor for the F-150 assembly line after AI-driven sensors failed to maintain quality standards. Meanwhile, Palantir CEO Alex Karp used a CNBC appearance to warn corporate America that current AI tokens are effectively a tax on enterprise intellectual property, leading to a direct partnership with Nvidia focused on data sovereignty. These warnings coincide with a massive Microsoft Patch Tuesday failure that trapped users in BitLocker loops and reports of a 40,000-acre data center project in Utah led by investor Kevin O'Leary. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcast live from Museum Square in Amsterdam, marking the 20th anniversary of the passing of Curry’s mother with a family reunion. The duo breaks down the Empire State Building antenna climb by Angela Nicolaou and Vanya Birkas, revealing it as a coordinated promotional stunt for a Netflix documentary. Between historical anecdotes about trading a six-pack of beer for the Bud.com domain and critiques of the America 250 celebrations, the hosts explore the rise of Ozempic-related side effects and the future of AI-monitored policing proposed by Larry Ellison. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
