About this episode

Kara and Kaitlan Collins discuss Meta's settlement, Dolly Parton's legacy, Bill Gates' AI warning, and more.

Scott-Free August continues, and Kara is joined by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins! They talk about Dolly Parton's legacy in culture and business, unpack Meta’s landmark social media addiction case settlement, and discuss the growing political backlash to data centers. Then, they break down Bill Gates’ warning about AI, Trump’s political power heading into the midterms, and a golf ad that spectacularly missed the mark.
