This week, editors\u00a0Peter Suderman<\/a>,\u00a0Katherine Mangu-Ward<\/a>,\u00a0Nick Gillespie<\/a>, and\u00a0Matt Welch<\/a> dig into Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R\u2013Mo.) speech at the National Conservatism Conference, where he denounced artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies as threats to liberty. They debate why MAGA populists are embracing anti-tech rhetoric, how this mirrors parts of the labor left, and what it means for President Donald Trump’s simultaneous push for AI investment and closer ties with Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n

Our editors also break down the latest jobs report, analyzing labor force participation, manufacturing losses, and whether tariffs and immigration limits are holding back growth. They then turn to New College of Florida’s talk of privatization following its clash with Gov. Ron DeSantis, and what that would mean for university governance. A listener question prompts each editor to explain how they came to identify as libertarian and why the label matters to their work. Finally, the panel examines the Justice Department’s move to ban transgender Americans from gun ownership.<\/p>\n
