Biden’s Signature Controversy + Why AI Won’t Replace You

In this episode of The Elliot Omanson Show, we break down President Joe Biden’s recent interview with the New York Times, where he defends his use of the autopen to approve a wave of last-minute presidential pardons.   Biden insists he was fully in control — blasting Trump and Republicans as “liars.” But leaked emails from Chief of Staff Jeff Zients suggest otherwise: White House staffers approved the pardons using Biden’s name based on what was “orally” said in meetings, not direct written authorization. We explore what this means politically and legally — and how it feeds into Trump’s narrative that Biden isn’t running the show.   We also shift gears to discuss the rise of AI and its impact on the job market. Will artificial intelligence eliminate millions of jobs — or ultimately create more? We look at expert takes, past tech revolutions, and what’s likely ahead.   As always, expect tangents, hot takes, and some unfiltered humor throughout.
