Kara and Scott discuss a heavy weekend of news, with shootings at Brown University and Australia's Bondi Beach, as well as the death of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. Then, Disney's "cease and desist" letter to Google over AI-generated content, Oracle's stock slide, and Paramount's pushback on Warner Bros. Discovery’s financing concerns. Plus, Trump introduces an AI executive order, but Kara says it's all about politics, not policies.
