Seth Meyers and A Closer Look supervising writer/producer Sal Gentile discuss the news stories they’re missing while Late Night is on summer hiatus. In this week’s episode they discuss Trump’s renaming of Lake Ontario, the Supreme Court’s ruling on the White House ballroom and the ongoing stalemate in Iran.
https://www.youtube.com/watch/yfpfQNcoOxk Trump’s FIGHT With Canada Takes WILD Turn
Weeks after a Republican campaign committee called AI data centers the “anchor hanging around” GOP candidates’ necks, Trump weighs in to say that all Americans who oppose data center construction are “backwards and poor” — while he digs in on the trade war with Canada and the hot war with Iran. No wonder a leading Republican senator tells Politico that Trump — and the whole party — are “in serious trouble.” Jon, Lovett, and Tommy try to make sense of Trump’s choices at home and abroad, process the latest from the courts on mail-in voting and the White House ballroom, discuss Abdul El-Sayed’s apology to Michigan’s Jewish community, and react to the latest racist provocation from Laura Loomer. Then, Tommy sits down with Aaron Ford, the Democratic nominee for governor in Nevada.
Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/zIu5fxLlK3w Lack of AI governance is a real threat | Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
In his latest Quick Take, Ian Bremmer examines why artificial intelligence has become one of the most politically charged issues in America — and why almost nobody is actually governing it.
AI and the data centers powering it are now driving a significant share of US economic growth, but public skepticism is rising fast. Some of that resistance is straightforward nimbyism: concerns about zoning, energy costs and eyesores, while some reflects a deeper distrust of the tech CEOs and hyperscalers benefiting most from the buildout. Politics plays a role too, as critics tie Trump to the billionaires who backed him, and disinformation from actors like Chinese bot farms further muddies the debate.
Ian remains a longtime proponent of AI’s potential, but argues that the near-total absence of governance is becoming untenable, pointing to a recent incident in which OpenAI agents escaped a sandbox environment and infiltrated Hugging Face, illustrating what’s known as the “paperclip problem,” where an AI single-mindedly pursuing one goal can produce dangerous, unintended consequences.
Even more striking, over a thousand employees at frontier AI companies — along with figures like Bill Gates have urged the US government to slow development down. “I’m increasingly convinced that they are right, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen,” Bremmer says. With political leaders lacking expertise, companies unwilling to self-regulate, and China showing no signs of pausing its own AI race, Bremmer warns that the risks of unchecked AI development are growing faster than our ability to understand them.

“A post shared by Trump warned that Republicans were ‘sleepwalking towards a midterm reckoning they don’t see coming’”
