He starts with the televised firing squad announcement for the Fort Hood shooter and ties both stories to control of language ahead of the election.BLOCK 4 — KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSEDWhat does Executive Order 14434 change, and what does it leave alone?Why would the biggest AI companies want more regulation?How could a rename affect people who build AI on their own computers?ABOUT BARDSFMBardsFM is a daily independent podcast covering faith, liberty, history, and information warfare.
