How 9/11 Is Taught Becomes The Next Major Question

Harry starts by backing the morning’s 9/11 Big Take, and the conversation quickly returns to what Americans are taught about the attacks. An Abby Phillip clip sets off a dispute over Islam, terrorism and George W. Bush’s post-9/11 messaging before we turn to state standards. Minnesota’s move toward broader themes rather than naming specific events becomes the example for a larger question about whether 9/11 is getting enough classroom attention. We then spend the bulk of the hour on artificial intelligence and regulation. Dario Amodei argues for stronger oversight and a slower pace, while we question why the biggest firms want government rules after growing under a much freer system. Dawn argues that established companies could use those barriers to protect themselves from new competitors, while former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon’s resignation and warnings get a different reception because he actually walks away from the company. David Sacks’ 0-for-4 critique of doom predictions and Alex Karp’s argument that China makes a pause unrealistic push us into a closing defense of American competition.
