SHAPIRO: What will artificial intelligence do for our happiness?
The West faces a series of serious economic challenges: A demographic collapse that undermines growth, a welfare state that sucks money from the future and dispenses it in the present, and a regulatory structure that focuses more on redistributionism and top-down control than on innovation.

SHAPIRO: Online media ecosystem an inaccurate gauge of American views
This week, Tucker Carlson spoke at Turning Point USA’s big event in Tampa, Florida. Without naming President Donald Trump, he unleashed on the Trump administration, suggesting it’s covering up a child sex trafficking ring and denigrating Trump’s victories thus far.

SHAPIRO: What happened with the Jeffrey Epstein case?
Last week, the internet was set abuzz by a memo from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice about the Jeffrey Epstein case. Epstein, of course, was found hanging in his cell in a New York jail in August 2019, after his arrest on charges of sex trafficking of underage girls. Ever since then, speculation has run rampant that he was actually murdered; that he and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell were trafficking those girls to rich, famous and powerful men; that he may have been working for a domestic or foreign intelligence agency; and that all of this was covered up by high-ranking members of the federal government.

His explanation for the riots was lucid and fascinating. The riots, he said, were not about illegal immigration. Of course, they weren’t — there are tens of millions of people living illegally in the United States right now and President Donald Trump ran three times on removing them. No, said the protester, the riots were about something more.

SHAPIRO: Team Trump restoring a warrior mentality in the military once again
This week, the U.S. Department of Defence made an unprecedented move by renaming a ship originally christened the USNS Harvey Milk. According to Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth’s memo, the goal was to ensure “alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of re-establishing the warrior culture.”
