In this week's podcast, we have a follow-up to one of our previous “Stupidest thing I’ve heard all week” stories. With the first FIFA World Cup match scheduled to be played in NJ in just 5 days, we’ll tell you how many of those $100 train tickets from Penn Station in NY to MetLife Stadium in NJ have been sold by NJ Transit. In another NJ Story, we’ll tell you about the latest Fortune 500 company to announce it's moving out of NJ, how many of those large companies have left the state in just the last 8 years, and why. We’ll play a clip explaining how Canada’s program of free socialized medical for all cost a woman her leg. We’ll tell you why some of the anti-AI data center stories you might be reading might be part of a propaganda campaign orchestrated by a foreign government and why.We'll tell you about some simple & fun things you can do with AI yourself, for free. If you weren’t already sure if the SAVE voter ID legislation was a good idea or not, we’ll give you two recent examples of voter registration fraud that it would have prevented.Given the continued organized violence that has been taking place outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, we’ll give you a different perspective on why what is happening might be way more than just a protest.We’ll tell you about a company testing & developing nuclear reactors that fit on the back of a flatbed trailer and could be the answer to the growing power production and transmission needs of AI data centers. Our taxpayer relief shot segment this week is from Australia, where a 75-year-old man shoots & kills an intruder who had already stabbed him and his wife and who had come back to finish the job.
