About this episode

Neal and Toby discuss China's block of Meta's AI deal, privacy rights in geofence warrants, MAHA Moms protesting pesticides, and wedding dress trends influenced by GLP-1 drugs.

Episode 833: Neal and Toby dive into China’s block of Meta’s acquisition of AI startup Manus, citing national security concerns. Then, the Supreme Court hears arguments on whether ‘geofence’ warrants violate the US Constitution’s right to privacy, even when committing criminal acts. Next, the MAHA Moms march to the Supreme Court to protest the use of a pesticide used on oat and corn as they claim it causes cancer. Meanwhile, Toby looks into the trend of brides buying wedding dresses much closer to their wedding day because they’re quickly losing weight thanks to GLP-1 drugs.
