5 - Drive @ 5 - Another Friday, another chat with Dr. Wilfred Reilly, Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me.” Is mood contagious? How do we feel about canned laugh tracks vs. letting the audience decide what is funny? A Baltimore High School Athletic Director used AI to frame his school’s principal for racism in order to get him fired. As the author of Hate Crime Hoax, how does Dr. Reilly feel about this story? He argues this is the first AI hate crime hoax, and many more may be on the horizon. The conversation shifts to other AI hazards, such as revenge deepfake porn and staged conversations. Are schools out in Kentucky participating in these protests like the coastal elite schools? Rich and Dr. Reilly wrap up with discussion of Trump’s case in New York. 

540 - Rich discusses his differences with other legal scholars over the handling of the Trump case. We listened to Trump’s comments after court today. Rich continues to detail just how weak the case against Trump is.
