In a shocking turn of events, a California congressional candidate's campaign has been rocked by a scandal involving an AI chatbot that mocked her accent and made racist and sexist comments. The chatbot, created by her opponent Scott Wiener, was meant to highlight her "obstructionist record" but ended up backfiring in a big way. This episode, we dive into the details of this bizarre incident and explore the implications of using AI in politics.

The conversation gets heated as the candidate, Connie Chan, defends herself against the accusations, while her opponent's team tries to spin the situation. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has announced that it will no longer fund LA's homeless programs, citing waste and corruption. We discuss the implications of this move and how it might affect the city's efforts to address its homelessness crisis.

The episode also touches on the challenges faced by small business owners in Oakland, who are struggling to keep their convenience stores safe from repeated robberies. The owner of one such store shares his story and the difficulties he faces in keeping his business afloat despite the constant threats.
