Dumpster Fire with Bridget Phetasy

Commencement speakers got booed this weekend for mentioning AI — by the same graduating class that used ChatGPT to write their papers. Bridget Phetasy breaks down why the anti-AI panic is just climate anxiety with a new face, why Bernie Sanders and AOC's plan to ban data centers is the worst idea in recent memory, and why China is absolutely loving every minute of our meltdown.

America and China are in the world's most expensive bad marriage — they need each other, they don't trust each other, but it’s too expensive to get divorced. Bridget breaks down Trump's trip to Beijing, the CEO delegation that proves capitalism always wins, the handshake heard round the world, and why the Left would rather Trump spit in Xi's face than narrowly avoid World War III. Elon took pictures like a tourist and Marco Rubio has a new name and a new look.

A deadly virus is spreading around the globe. Health officials are scrambling to keep it contained. We’ve seen this movie before and we did not enjoy it. But this time it’s a virus with a 40% mortality rate. Bridget walks us through the hantavirus outbreak, how people are reacting to a potential Pandemic: The Sequel when our trust in our institutions is already shattered, and why the World Cup could be the accelerator event to a catastrophe. Are any of us actually ready to do this again? Definitely not.

Spencer Pratt — yes, that guy from The Hills — lost his $3.8 million Palisades home in the LA wildfires and decided to run for mayor against the people who let it happen. He's crushing debates, winning 88% of post-debate polls, and making the best political content on the internet. Then there's the arsonist who started the Palisades fire: a Luigi Mangione superfan might as well have Googled "how to start a forest fire" before torching a city. Bridget Phetasy breaks down the most American story of 2026 and asks the obvious question — how do you look at Los Angeles right now and vote for more of the same?

There's a kill switch being built into every new car in America by 2027 — and both parties voted for it with a smile. Bridget breaks down the AI that decides if you're too emotional to drive, why the mandatory seatbelt law was always a slippery slope, and how the surveillance state got built — not by the government, but by us, one smart home device and ignored terms of service at a time. The Alexa, the Ring doorbell, the face scan to unlock your phone — we handed all of it over for the sake of convenience. Don't worry though, you can opt out. You just won't be able to participate in society.
