"There's maybe a more practical way to look at it, which is just understanding water as a communal resource, as something that is necessary to share rather than this thing that we divide up and profit on." — Kyle PaolettaKyle Paoletta opens his recent book, American Oasis: Finding the Future in the Cities of the Southwest with a claim similar to the one on which Ten Across is based: the Southwest "already looks like what the rest of America is becoming." Every year the country at large grows hotter, drier, more urban, more diverse. The desert cities got there first. His view of what lies ahead for the Southwest--and by extension, for the rest of the nation-- first required a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of the place.That is the case for treating this region as a preview rather than an exception, and it is why the Interstate 10 corridor is worth watching closely. What arrives here arrives everywhere, eventually.Kyle is a journalist who grew up outside Albuquerque and left for the East Coast, where he found that almost no one knew the place he came from. Years later, his book takes the five largest desert cities, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Tucson, and El Paso, and weaves them into a single story of people who learned to live where water is becoming more scarce.In this conversation with Duke Reiter, he explains how a magazine called Arizona Highways and a relentless chamber of commerce sold the Arizona desert to the rest of the country, a playbook similarly run in Texas and Florida. He points to Las Vegas, which added hundreds of thousands of people without increasing its water use, and to El Paso, where the country's first direct-to-distribution water recycling plant opens in 2028. He discusses Tucson's heritage of architecture designed for heat—knowledge the rest of the country is beginning to need—and argues that the short renegotiation cycles for Colorado River water may be a feature rather than a failure.Ultimately, Kyle's reflections on where the story of the Southwest is headed next may not be what you expect.American Oasis: Finding the Future in the Cities of the Southwest is available from Pantheon.https://www.kylepaoletta.com/Relevant Articles and ResourcesNative American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water.

Natalie Ecanow details Qatar's massive $400 billion investment footprint in the United States, including high-profile real estate like New York's Park Lane Hotel and significant orders for Boeing aircraft. She argues these investments are not merely financial but serve to buy long-term political influence and goodwill with American policymakers, regardless of party affiliation, by embedding Qatari wealth into the U.S. economy.

FOLLOW UP: This week, it seems America believes every complicated social problem can be fixed by asking, “Have you tried turning the internet off for the children?” Meanwhile, the Electronic Frontier Foundation quietly notes that the science behind social media bans might not be as clear-cut as cable-news dads screaming about dopamine loops claim. Turns out, teen anxiety may also be linked to pandemics, school shootings, climate dread, and an economy that feels like a Fallout side quest. Meanwhile, Snap Inc. and YouTube settled another lawsuit accusing their apps of turning kids into doomscrolling goblins, Meta continues to insist social media addiction isn't real while losing money in court, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed at a graduation speech after telling graduates to hop on the AI rocket ship without asking questions — exactly what a billionaire says when he already owns the rocket.In the news, Elon Musk lost another OpenAI lawsuit because apparently even juries have limits. SpaceX's IPO revealed Musk plans to power AI with enough gas turbines to recreate 1890s London smog, and Grok officially became a disclosure liability after the whole “MechaHitler” incident. Tesla robotaxis still clip fences and occasionally require humans to remotely drive the “self-driving” cars. Trump Mobile somehow shipped a gold phone that actually works — a stunning upset — before immediately leaking customer data. LinkedIn finally admitted the platform has become an AI-generated motivational swamp filled with “it's not about X, it's about Y” sludge from people named Brayden. Spotify is handing out podcast verification badges so listeners can tell real creators from algorithmic nightmare fuel. Meta laid off thousands more workers while reportedly using employee surveillance to train AI replacements. And OpenAI is giving everyone in Malta a free year of ChatGPT Plus if they complete an AI literacy course, which honestly makes Malta sound more technologically responsible than Silicon Valley.APPS & DOODADS reflect classic Gen-X paranoia, as Backblaze highlights California's constant threat of wildfires and the idea that local backups are optimistic. YouTube introduced AI deepfake detection tools, allowing creators to finally see which scam ads are using their faces to promote crypto vitamins, while X limited free users to 50 posts a day unless they pay for a blue check — proving once again that the true free speech was the subscriptions we sold along the way. Retrocodex arrived with a strong “everything your teachers confidently told you in 1987 was wrong” vibe.MEDIA CANDY opens with the eternal cry of “FUCK THE FIRETV!!!!” before Jason taps out of Good Omens after ten minutes while Brian takes the bullet for the audience. There's also chatter about Mortal Kombat 2, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Billy Corgan talking goth history with David J, and more existential dread courtesy of Dan Carlin's Common Sense.THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE welcomes back Dave Bittner for a Mando & Grogu review, Darth Maul, and a stunning but absurdly expensive LEGO Disneyland set. There's also a guy who built a full-size Millennium Falcon “with his wife's permission,” a fan-made Star Tours film, and the Federal Trade Commission discovering that those creepy “your phone is listening to you” ad-tech companies mainly just had PowerPoint decks and confidence. Also: mechanical keyboard simulators now exist, because apparently even fake typing has become a lifestyle brand.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Anthropic's rapid financial and infrastructure expansion in 2026, highlighted by a massive $40 billion investment and computing partnership with Google. This alliance provides Anthropic with vital access to TPU hardware and gigawatts of power to sustain its $30 billion revenue run rate, fueled largely by the success of its Claude Code tool. Simultaneously, the company is navigating a high-stakes legal battle with the U.S. Department of Defense over a "supply chain risk" designation. This conflict stems from Anthropic's refusal to allow its AI to be used for autonomous weaponry or domestic surveillance. To support its unprecedented growth, the firm is also securing billions in funding from Amazon and investing in domestic data centers. These developments illustrate a broader trend of industrial-scale AI consolidation and the increasing tension between corporate ethics and national security.
Today's Headlines: Kash Patel responded to bombshell reporting about his drinking and incompetence by filing a $250 million defamation suit against The Atlantic — can't wait for discovery then, Kash. Meanwhile, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer became the third Trump Cabinet member to resign in just a few months, notable mostly because all three have been women while the actual disasters remain firmly in place. On the foreign policy beat, the Iran ceasefire expires tomorrow at 8pm with Trump calling renewal "highly unlikely," JD Vance and crew headed to Islamabad anyway, and oil prices already on the rise. Back home, the House Ethics Committee is mulling expulsion votes for two Florida representatives — one facing sexual misconduct and illegal contract charges, the other caught steering COVID relief funds to her own campaign. In economic news, the Trump administration quietly launched a portal for the 330,000 businesses that overpaid on illegal tariffs to apply for refunds, with no apparent plan for the ones that already went under because of them. Over in Silicon Valley, Amazon invested another $5 billion into Anthropic while California simultaneously filed an antitrust suit against Amazon using the company's own emails as evidence, and Apple tapped 25-year veteran John Ternus as its next CEO, a man described as competent and affable, which feels like a low bar that is nonetheless refreshing. And finally, a bankruptcy judge is the only thing standing between The Onion and its dream of owning Infowars — which would be the most perfect ending to the Alex Jones saga anyone could have written.

This week on Autonomy Signals, Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discuss China's $400 billion robotics investment, surging Chinese auto exports with advanced autonomous driving systems (ADAS), and rising compute costs that could reshape the autonomy economy.China is preparing to invest $400 billion in robotics this year as the country looks to further strengthen its current physical AI dominance. As China prepares to further invest in robotics, Chinese technology companies such as Xpeng that manufacture electric vehicles are beginning to share manufacturing lines and supply chains between electric vehicles and humanoid robots, reducing labor costs by 35%.With Xpeng aims to produce a thousand humanoids a month by year end. AUTNMY AI's proprietary AI algorithm, OMEGA, assesses that this convergence ensures Chinese humanoid platforms could achieve commercial viability 24 to 36 months ahead of US counterparts, and that standalone US robotics startups lacking automotive manufacturing synergies could face a mass extinction event by 2028.As China invests in robotics at home, Chinese automakers exported a record 7.1 million cars in 2025 with nearly 50% featuring advanced ADAS, and that pattern is only accelerating in 2026 partly due to margin compression on the mainland.While China is accelerating its export of electric vehicles with ADAS, Chinese autonomous vehicle companies, WeRide, Baidu and Pony AI are rapidly expanding into the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia through partnerships with Uber and Lyft, allowing these companies to bypass customer acquisition costs and avoid potential regulatory friction.This is setting up to be a potential Autonomous Belt and Road Initiative, where China embeds its autonomous driving technology into global transit systems, both public and private sector, the same way Belt and Road embedded Chinese influence through infrastructure investment.Closing out the show, the third signal points to a potential compute cost inflation cycle with AMD and Intel likely looking to raise chip prices 15% amid a global shortage.

Week 6 is just a few days away and a few teams are out for some redemption this week. We start in Florida as #18 Florida State looks to redeem themselves after being upset last week at Virginia. However, the redemption will not come easy as they host #3 Miami. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this matchup and look at what Florida State has on the line trying to avoid back-to-back losses. They also share their thoughts on this year's Miami team and what a win would do for their season. Could a win put them on the fast-track to the top seed in the CFP? Then, we head to Tuscaloosa as they discuss #10 Alabama hosting #16 Vanderbilt. Alabama is looking to avenge last season's major upset and there will be no underestimating Vanderbilt this year. Can Diego Pavia still lead Vandy to another upset?Later, Ross steps off of the field and onto the court as he shares a bit of insider news about college basketball's NCAA tournament. Talk about expanding the field has continued, with an increase to 76 teams being the most likely choice if the field does expand. Not only do the guys have some strong feelings about this potential move, but they also discuss if this could have any impact on CFP expansion talk. Then, ESPN's Dan Wetzel (who listeners might be familiar with) had to make sure the guys didn't run out of stories to talk about, so he broke some news on Wednesday about the Big Ten. The Big Ten is in talks about a $2 billion dollar investment from a private equity firm. Andy, Ross and Godfrey talk about the impact this could have on college football and the potential pitfalls it would create for the sport.Finally, the guys make their picks for this week's I've Got A Feeling.

In a surprising announcement this morning, Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia announced his company was making a $100 billion investment into OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. This investment will be a 10 gigawatt project, something no one has ever seen before. So what does this mean for you and how you will use AI in the future? Dr. Dennis Sanchez, the AI Doctor will let us know, today on the Jon Sanchez Show at 3pm.
HEADLINE: Nvidia's Strategic $5 Billion Investment in Intel Reshapes US Chip Industry GUEST NAME: Chris Riegel SUMMARY: Nvidia, led by Jensen Huang, invests $5 billion in Intel, gaining access to manufacturing capabilities while Intel gets crucial funding.

The deal comes amid China's ban on Nvidia chips and China's struggle for technological self-sufficiency. 1933
CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE 9-18-25. GOOD EVENING. THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE HALLS OF PARLIAMENT. FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: UK Labour Party Faces Crisis as Starmer's Leadership Falters GUEST NAME: Anatol Lieven SUMMARY: Sir Keir Starmer faces "extremely unusual" unpopularity despite Labour's large majority. Potential replacements include Andy Burnham and Lucy Powell. Discontent stems from poor judgment, lack of progressive vision, and resentment over Jeremy Corbyn's removal. Labour risks massive defections to Corbyn's new radical left-wing party if Starmer's leadership continues. 915-930 CONTINUED HEADLINE: UK Labour Party Faces Crisis as Starmer's Leadership Falters GUEST NAME: Anatol Lieven SUMMARY: Sir Keir Starmer faces "extremely unusual" unpopularity despite Labour's large majority.

Relations remain hostile due to border disputes with tens of thousands of troops deployed. China's ties with Pakistan, supplying 80% of arms and investing through CPEC, further strain India relations. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: FBI Closes Investigation Despite Massive Chinese Casino Corruption in US Territory GUEST NAME: Grant Newsham SUMMARY: Former CNMI Governor Arnold Palacios requested FBI investigation into $1.6 billion missing COVID funds and Chinese casino corruption. Imperial Pacific International (IPI) allegedly facilitated money laundering "hundreds of billions," influenced politicians including Governor Torres.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: US Industrial Policy Criticized as Ad-Hoc State Capitalism GUEST NAME: Veronique de Rugy SUMMARY: Veronique de Rugy analyzes government support for Intel and Nvidia's investment as state capitalism, distinct from cronyism. She criticizes government intervention, predicting poor outcomes when businesses operate under political pressure. The Trump administration's industrial policy lacks clear philosophy, creating uncertainty that could "kill investments" through unpredictable, reversible decisions. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: King Charles III Hosts Magnificent State Dinner at Windsor Castle GUEST NAME: Conrad Black SUMMARY: King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted the President and First Lady at Windsor Castle in a "magnificently done" state dinner.

Recent Supreme Court rulings, including Loper Bright, ironically make reversal more difficult by eliminating Chevron deference. Courts will focus on statutory language and prior decisions, requiring the EPA to justify reversing decades of statements. 1145-1200 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Trump EPA Faces Uphill Battle to Reverse Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding GUEST NAME: Jonathan Adler SUMMARY: The Trump administration's EPA attempts to reverse the 2009 "endangerment finding" for greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
