Abby and Robbie Martin cover Biden’s failed Summit of the Americas, where Abby confronted Secretary of State Antony Blinken about the Israeli assassination of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, and numerous Latin American countries boycotted due to the exclusion of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. They talk about the mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo and how this unique phenomenon is an extension of extreme American narcissism AKA Empire Baby syndrome, the strategy of tension surrounding the anti-trans hysteria being cultivated by the GOP and the leaked SCOTUS draft about overturning Roe v Wade, and how the mind bending AI art tools like DALL E 2 is about to change our reality.
