Voters rage at White House 'corruption' as summer cooling bills surge

MS NOW reports voters appear to be mindful of President Donald Trump raking in millions of dollars this summer while their own air-conditioning bills are creeping out of reach of their monthly home budget.Across much of the country, the 4th of July weekend is bringing more than just fireworks. It's also bringing dangerous and potentially record-breaking heat from the Midwest all the way to the northeast with heat indexes potentially climbing well above 100 degrees.More than 160 million people in 30 states are currently under extreme heat warnings this holiday weekend, with little sign of relief from either Mother Nature or the Trump economy. In places like New York, for example, humidity can make a 100-degree day feels like 110, 115 degrees. And it is, of course, considerably more humid in many Southern red states.MS NOW reporter Moses Small marched out into the street and talked to voters fleeing high home utility bills at city cooling centers.“Yeah, it's stressful,” said New York resident Daniela Crespo. “I've been anticipating looking at the forecast, thinking about, how many days am I going to run the AC? What temperature am I going to set it at? What is this going to cost me? It definitely has been on my mind.”Crespa added, however, that even as her own monthly electric bill blows up in her face and she struggles to control it by adjusting her AC to the tip of tolerance she is markedly aware of the extreme wealth pooling out of the White House and the Trump family’s bank accounts.“I mean, I think it really distills the kind of moment we're in with the level of corruption that we're seeing at the very highest levels of government,” Crespa told Snow, speaking on Trump making $2 billion in White House related monetization schemes and crypto machinations since returning to the White House.“When it gets to this hot, families tell me they really do think about the utility bills and their bank accounts,” said Snow, “especially with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting inflation up 4.2 percent in the past year — but within that, a 23.5 percent jump on energy costs.”Snow added that a CNBC analysis claims Americans, on average, have spent an extra almost $450 in gas and electric prices alone since Trump unilaterally kicked off his war in Iraq. Meanwhile, the money the Trump family is making while occupying the White House appears to smell with enough corruption to make Democrats competitive even in some of the reddest farm states this November. - YouTube youtu.be

Journalist Karen Hao on Sam Altman, OpenAI & the "Quasi-Religious" Push for Artificial Intelligence

As part of our July Fourth special broadcast, we continue our extended interview with Karen Hao, author of Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI. The book documents the rise of OpenAI and how the AI industry is leading to a new form of colonialism. “One of the things that you really have to understand about AI development today is that there are what I call quasi-religious movements that have developed within Silicon Valley,” says Hao. “The concept of artificial general intelligence is not one that’s scientifically grounded.”

MAGA flies into rage over air conditioners: 'Democrats are coming for your AC!'

MAGA flies into rage over air conditioners: 'Democrats are coming for your AC!'

Republicans yelped about socialism after Mayor Zohran Mamdani urged New Yorkers to keep their thermostats set at 78 degrees to ease strain on the city's power grid during a brutal heat wave.The city is expecting numerous days of extreme temperatures through the holiday weekend, and Mamdani suggested that residents conserve power where possible to prevent power outages, saying city buildings would maintain 78-degree temperatures and turn off or dim lights during peak times for electricity demand."New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool," the mayor posted on social media. "Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can."Donald Trump's Department of Energy recommends setting thermostats between 75 degrees and 78 degrees, but MAGA turned the recommendation into a new front in the culture war, warning that this week's Democratic primary wins by Democratic Socialist candidates could ultimately result in a ban on air conditioning."First AOC tried to come for your steak and ribs and now the Socialist Democrats are coming for your AC," warned Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). "This is the future that WOKE Democrats want not just for NYC but for South Carolina too!""In a first-world country, you could turn on the A/C," sneered Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)."This one is for you @ZohranKMamdani," gloated the Manhattan Institute's Daniel Di Martino, posting a video of himself turning a thermostat down to 67 degrees."No thanks. This is America. We crank our A/C down to 60 whenever we please," boasted Trump envoy Nick Adams."78?! Get lost," huffed podcaster Connor Crehan, who goes by Captain Cons."This is what socialism looks like, folks," barked Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. "The right answer isn’t restrictions or mandates. It’s drilling, fracking, coal, & nuclear. That’s how we’ll roll in Ohio. (And he sounds eerily just like Amy Acton during Covid).""Welcome to socialism, where the government demands you turn your house into a sauna because they can't plan for the super unpredictable fact that it tends to get hot in the summer," pontificated Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX)."78 degrees??? Welcome to communism people! Hope you enjoy!" belched Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy."Is this what was meant by the warmth of collectivism?" smarmed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Pentagon Official On Defense Base Rebuild

Michael Cadenazzi, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy, says the U.S. defense industrial base has suffered from decades of insufficient attention to capacity, leaving the country with bottlenecks, single-source risks and dependence on foreign suppliers. He says the Pentagon is focused on reindustrialization, critical minerals, and skilled trades as it works to meet future warfighter needs. He speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg's "Balance of Power." (Source: Bloomberg)
