In breaking news, Hunter Biden pleads guilty to federal tax charges, and strikes deal on a gun charge. Ravi and Rikki, debate what happens now to the public conversation on investigations into the Biden family.

A new study by the Wall Street Journal on homelessness across the country shows a sharper increase in recent years, especially in urban areas. What caused this spike? And, is “Housing First”, the historically bipartisan policy, the new battleground for the right and left divide?

The hosts talk through Rikki’s New York Post’s front page article on skyrocketing feelings of hopelessness and depression among teens.

And finally, Ravi speaks to Edward Tian, the 22-year-old recent Princeton graduate who built GPTZero the premier AI detection software. They discuss the future of the tool, from college essays to the evolution of AI in journalism and everything else.
