Shownotes Transcript

Patrick Gutfield unpacks America’s "fertility crisis" as Trump declares himself the “Fertilization President” and floats a $1,000 baby bonus—because diapers apparently cost three bucks? Meanwhile, JD Vance thinks cat ladies shouldn’t vote, and Trump’s solution to low birth rates is… less immigration. Across the globe, China is locking down AI tools like Tencent and ByteDance during the gaokao exam to stop students from cheating. Steel-reinforced rooms, fingerprint heists, drones, and pantsless test-takers—just another week in education. And yes, we used AI to help make this episode. Don’t tell Beijing.
