Debt Ceiling Deal, EU vs. Twitter, Neuralink's Promise vs. Peril

Join Jim and Greg as they sort through the agreement between House Republicans and the Biden administration to avoid default. Jim explains why he sees the deal as about as good as the GOP could do with the limited leverage it has. And they address complaints from many conservatives that the plan allows too much baseline spending and didn't accomplish some major goals. They also react to the European Union's demands that Twitter abide by its "disinformation" policies or risk getting banned from Europe later this summer. Finally, they discuss the FDA approval of human trials for Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implants and highlight the potential for amazing breakthroughs and disastrous unforeseen consequences.
