Terry Schilling - Trump's VP Pick

Donald Trump’s upcoming vice-presidential pick attracts attention and speculation daily. If a new poll for The Post is any indication, it’s likely to be much ado about nothing.  The poll, conducted by YouGov, asked respondents a host of questions about Trump’s possible picks.  It also asked whether his selection might affect their chances of voting for Trump and what criteria they’d like the former president to consider when making his choice.  Almost everyone on Trump’s list comes with either mild positives or no problematic negatives.  Someone who hurts you with your base and doesn’t attract the center is not a good choice.  It’s also clear that selection won’t really matter to voters anyway. Sixty-two percent said the pick would have no effect on their vote, while only 10% of respondents said the pick’s identity could make them more or less likely to vote for Trump.  Presidential elections may be fought as a ticket, but ultimately voters decide to choose the person at the top.  Presidential elections may be fought as a ticket, but ultimately voters decide to choose the person at the top.

Scott Baradell - Anti Woke Economy

IS AN ‘ANTI-WOKE’ ECONOMY EMERGING?Commentary from Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson isn’t the only cash cow for right-wing media outlet the Daily Wire. The company raked in over $22 million last year from selling “woke-free” shaving gear and merchandise like a “leftist tears” dog bowl, according to Axios.  Accounting for 10% of its revenue, the Daily Wire’s e-commerce business is powered mainly by its Jeremy’s Razors brand. Urging customers to “shave like a man, not a manifesto,” it was launched as a rebuke to Harry’s, which pulled ads from the Daily Wire over political disagreements in 2021.

Kristen Roberts - AI Voices

Open AI CEO Sam Altman has weighed into the AI controversy over what sounds like the voice of actress Scarlett Johansson. Altman says the voice was not meant to sound like the popular actress and mostly sidestepped questions about the 'Sky' chat bot that many users say sounds just like the actress. The controversy began after OpenAI released a voice function for ChatGPT, with one of the voices sounding similar to Johansson. OpenAI has since pulled the voice.  “This is the new frontier of trademark law,” says longtime Intellectual Property Attorney Kristen Roberts. “Artificial Intelligence will open a new door to this kind of intellectual property infringement and as attorneys specializing in this we need to help in setting the ground rules before AI does it for us.”  The issue comes as the conflict between generative AI and the entertainment industry continues to simmer, with voice actors filing lawsuits, and the giant entertainment union SAG-AFTRA looks to lobby for bills protecting voice rights. Kristen is an intellectual property attorney who deals regularly in the specialized fields of trademark and copyright registration, licensing, enforcement and litigation. She has also worked as an adjunct law professor, teaching various intellectual property courses, and is heavily involved in giving back to her community. Her many cases have involved transactions with companies like Walmart, Target, Lululemon, Chipotle, and more

Edwin Walker - Youtube & Guns

YouTube has been making some changes as of late to make its content more accessible for all ages. But in doing so, it’s creating a level of censorship that’s hard to ignore.  The popular website’s owner, Google, revealed a change in policy taking effect on June 18th. With it, “certain content” surrounding the removal of safety devices will be entirely removed, while showing the use of homemade firearms, automatic firearms and certain firearm accessories will be age restrictive.  The Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently made a statement on the matter. “Restricting access to adults only—for content that depicts wholly legal and constitutionally-protected activity—is wrong, and it aims to push a sinister narrative to minors that firearms are evil,” said Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President. “In turn, as younger generations come of age, they will not question or push back on further violations of our Second Amendment rights.”  “Alvin Bragg and his anti-gun friends have been aggressively pressuring YouTube to censor and directly prohibit certain content related to guns for years now, and sadly they just succeeded and free speech has once again become the victim,” said Aidan Johnston, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs.  “Congress must demand answers from YouTube on how influential DA Bragg and gun control groups were in facilitating this change in policy and determine whether the Biden Administration or it’s White House Office of Gun Control was weaponized to force the censorship of Second Amendment content.” Edwin is a Houston-based attorney with Walker & Taylor, a full-service criminal and civil defense firm that focuses on gun law cases.  He's become a voice on Second Amendment issues in newsrooms from coast to coast.  The firm has a very popular YouTube channel called Armed Attorneys that routinely gets 10s of thousands of views per video
