HOUR 1 (08/19) - Gary & Shannon break down last night’s primaries, including Democratic socialist Angie Nixon’s upset over Alex Vindman in Florida and another round of wins for Trump-backed Republicans. Then they revisit California’s new replacement-tire efficiency rules, the rise in West Nile cases and why drought may actually make transmission worse. Plus, are students using AI so much that they’re starting to outsource the very thinking skills school is supposed to build?
