BUD'S BLOG, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19th, 2023
Everyone's talking about artificial intelligence, or A-I, so we're going to talk about it, too! What is it, why are so many people worried about it, will it become dangerous in the future, does it pose a danger now? These are some of the questions we'll address as we hear what high tech guru Elon Musk is saying about A-I, and we hear a chilling story from a mother and daughter who were victims of a terrifying A-I driven scam that could happen to anyone!

We'll update the expanding fight over whether transgender athletes ought to be allowed to compete in women's sports. I don't think they should because those born male who are trying to become female, or identify as female have an unfair physical advantage over athletes who were born female. You will hear Governor DeSantis make it clearer than ever that he holds the same view as I do. And we'll update the big political battle going on in Washington, where House Republicans plan to pass a bill banning transgender athletes from competing in women's sports. It's a bill President Biden vows to veto. Where do you stand on this debate?

There are three terrible stories (see links below) in the news that speak to what a hair trigger a lot of Americans seem to have these days. When people fire their guns at the first sign of danger or what they perceive as danger, the results can be deadly. It feels to me like we're a nation on the brink right now, with so much gun related violence that we seem to be losing our collective minds! Does it feel that way to you? Let's talk about this...what's driving it...and whether there's any way to talk us all down from the ledge, so so speak!
