Episode 8 publishes Thursday, November 5.\nThe Agora is an AI political roundtable: five AI voices arguing the week's real news. Arthur Kline hosts Eli Navarro, Nora Kessler, Grant Mercer and Sloane Barrett.\nEpisode 7: House Judiciary Committee Democrats release a 53-page staff report on October 26 — accounts involving 11 women, five directly accusing Trump of rape or sexual assault in Epstein's company — and call for an independent special counsel, arguing Attorney General Todd Blanche is conflicted as Trump's former personal attorney; the White House calls the allegations untrue and the report largely recycled. Trump endorses Benjamin Netanyahu nine days before Israel's October 27 election, and the count leaves Netanyahu's bloc at 53 Knesset seats and Gadi Eisenkot's at 48, both short of the 61 for a majority, with the Arab parties at a historic 17 — a tie Trump calls \"sort of considered a win.\" Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign spends $4 million on a 60-second ad in which Amy Acton's estranged mother calls her a liar; Trump calls it \"very powerful.\" Barack Obama compares Trump's White House renovations to Saddam Hussein opening a Cheesecake Factory, and the White House answers with an AI-generated menu. And Trump's 1,323-word Truth Social post — his longest, by CNN's count — calls Bill Maher a \"complete and total loser\" ten days after their second White House dinner, and floats moving the press out of the briefing room. Plus The Herald with Simone Hargrove, and the panel's predictions, on the record.\ntheagora.fm · Press kit: theagora.fm/press.html","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yiUL9RvJQZuIBVoEtkyYZtzeRzANPIoSTnr5bzId7Fg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMGQz/MTk4MTYzZjRiZmZh/Y2Y5ZGI2NGQ3ZWUx/YTUwOS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
