Devolution Power Hour Ep. 494: LIVE from GART 13 in Las Vegas

Episode Description from the Publisher

A rare crossover: Jon Herold, Chris Paul, and Burning Bright are all together live at Gart for this one, and the energy shows. They kick off with Trump's latest true social posts about a potential third term before getting into a genuinely strange story about AI supposedly nudging the country toward conflict with China, and the very convenient timing of the outlet that broke it getting banned from the White House the same day. The hosts pick apart just how many layers of fakeness might be stacked on top of each other here, joking about "fake intelligence" reporting on itself. Being together in person adds some extra banter and inside jokes to the usual mix, plus a personal clip revisit near the end. It's a lighter, more freewheeling episode than the usual remote setup, but the news still gets covered.
