Harry Sisson returns to FYPod after Donald Trump’s AI video literally pooping on him went viral. Tim Miller and Cameron Kasky break down the madness: free speech, MAGA fragility, and “slop” culture.

They also go into the bizarre world of pro-natalist billionaires like Palmer Luckey, the Oculus founder now pushing child marriage, eugenics-lite rhetoric, and far-right politics from Silicon Valley.
