You said I pulled them backward. I watched playing crash investigation shows. It's unbelievable, unbelievable. An attempted terrorist hijacking foiled at the last minute by the Indian pilot, a group of heroic Israeli passengers, like this man and a backup crew. Everybody aboard should be dead right now. But there's another question. Why did this happen? Why did it happen? Just days after an attempted Iranian back attack

4:06on an air force base in Great Britain, what is going on? What do the enemies of the West actually want? Let's start with this. There are two ways to respond to Islamic terrorism. Either rush the cockpit and level the plane or release the terrorists on bail. Both of those things have happened in the last couple of days and both have not gone affected that will be extraordinary. The question is what should Americans learn from all the attempted terror of the past few days? Well, they're basically a couple of models. One is Israel's response after 10-7, which is you go in and you kill every terrorist you can find and you secure your future. And the second is Spain's response after the attacks of March 2004 when Al Qaeda bombs, commuter trains, and Madrid, they killed like 190 people. And then the socialist party won in Spain and they immediately withdrew from helping the United States in the Iraq war. Those are the two models. Either in response to terrorism,

5:08you stand tall, you grow a spine, you do what's necessary to preserve yourself in your civilization, or you surrender in the face of terrorism. And obviously the last, the surrender in the face of terrorism, that is what the Islamic world is seeking, the radical Islamic world. And that's what Israelis didn't give them aboard the fly Dubai flight. So again, we've all been watching with, I think, Badeb breath, all the developments around the attempted hijacking of this fly Dubai flight. It's an unbelievable story. One passenger described to CBS News exactly what happened. Worse than a free fall. I would say much worse than a free fall and started turning all turning sideways and going up and down in all different kinds of direction. It was just the scariest

6:10thing possible and people were shouting and people were starting to cry and starting to shout and starting to say, I love you to the children. And then shouting started from the front of the plane. While we heard in the back was shouting and the assent is sitting down and we started some people with dealing with stuff. I was just holding my family. We were sitting in all, all in one, one, one bow and just holding each other's hands, saying our children as we love them and just hoping that hoping for the best on us. So again, just an extraordinary, extraordinary story. Some 10 Israelis apparently ran on the front of the plane for those who missed how the story unfolded essentially. There was a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. And the co-pilot was of Omani extraction. Now that is illegal. You're not allowed to fly into Tel Aviv unless the country from which you hail has some sort of diplomatic agreement with Israel. Oman does not. And so it's still under investigation how this pilot ended up on this plane. He apparently stabbed either with a knife or

7:11with an axe. There are a couple of different reports that have come out. The actual pilot of the plane, a man named Smith Machar. Now that pilot actually did a podcast last year talking about how to land a plane and what it means to land a plane. Here's what he had to say. Smooth landing or on time arrival bigger high. None. None. Safe. You don't have to think about on time. As a pilot, I don't have to think about it. They're they're they've hired other people to take care of that. No, but how about smooth landing? Positive firm landing. Sorry. A positive landing. Yeah. Safe landing where I'm supposed to land. If it turns out smooth, perfect. Again, safety first. This guy is the first hero of the story. He's being stabbed to death by his co-pilot. And he somehow manages to get to the door to the cockpit and pry it open, get it open enough that he can notify people outside that something is happening. That's what the screaming

8:11at the front of the cabin was. A bunch of Israelis and rushed to the front of the cabin and ripped this co pilot who apparently was inside the cockpit trying to destroy all the equipment in the cockpit. Said he could fly it into the ground. Again, they're sort of conflicting reports as to whether he wanted to fly it into the ground or whether his attempt was to fly it into Israeli airspace. Maybe crash it into an Israeli target in a 9-11 style attack. Details are still emerging on that. Obviously, we'll bring you all the updates as they do. Anyway, the passengers ran inside and they ripped him from the seat. The man that you heard at the top of the show's man in Gennivha Yun. And in Yennivha Yun, here he was in the galley on the plane guarding the pilot. He says they attacked us and now we are guarding the pilot. They attacked us on this plane. We've taken control of the situation. It's another one of the passengers. Again, if you missed it, it's an unbelievable story. Yennivha Yun, who's a plumber, who watches a show that is called Eridus Astors, knew enough to pull the plane out of the doom loop, to pull it out of the free fall

9:19and stabilize it enough so that a secondary crew that was aboard was capable of flattening out the plane. President Trump described what happened. And he ripped with the G forces as they were. He ripped this guy out of the seat, threw him back the crowd got him, the passengers got him, grabbed him. And having never flown apart a plane, he took the stick, lifted it up and leveled out the plane before it crashed. Never flew a plane. Strong guy lifted him up, thrown back. The crowd was, they knew they were going to die shortly because the G forces, but they were able to hold him because he was going crazy, that he was crazy. And his plumber never having flown a plane had the sense to lift a stick. Meanwhile, a medical professional on the plane a dentist, whose name is Shotab Moussayaev, he was stabilizing the pilot to the pilot still in critical condition.

10:21This dentist stabilized the pilot and made sure that he didn't bleed to death on the flight, enormous number of heroes jumping into action. And you have to say, Israelis are built different, they are. If you were going to name a population on a plane that was likely to have men who would jump into action because they had prior military experience, Israeli plane, pretty much all the men on the plane have prior military experience and have been in crisis situations before. The chances that there'd be a medical professional on an Israeli plane quite high. Right? So if you were going to pick a population that was going to be active against terror, the Israeli population is it. Obviously Israel has a long history of having to fight hijacked planes going back to the 1960s and 70s. It can be fairly said, the only invention of Palestinians is plane hijacking. In any case, the plane landed, the people were cheering aboard the plane as it landed. Here is what that sounded like. I mean, Segall of Channel 12 has been a guest on the program. He put

11:29together a short list of the miracles because let's be clear. This was a miracle. Everyone aboard that plane should be dead. Okay. The plane was put into tailspin. Part of the rudder ripped off because it was experiencing speeds that the plane was not built to experience as President Trump actually put out on truth. Social, this Boeing stood up to significant pressure. It was not made to stand up to. But I mean, Segall says the pilot opened the cockpit door moments before collapsing. The heroes, you need a soft and speaker happen to be at the front of the plane. British pilots happen to be on the flight. You need to watch the Aircrash investigation docu series and push the controls forward without every single one of them. Tonight we'd be searching for wreckage in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. And even that only if the prince allowed it. So what do we know about the terrorist pilot? Well, according to Josef Israel reporting for Channel 16, he says we aired a very interesting character witness account from a pilot at fly Dubai who knows the Amani Co pilot who tried to crash the plane. He recounts among other things that this is a new pilot at the company about eight months in. He was characterized by relatively strange behavior and mainly by religious devotion that is a typical for the work environment. He would pray multiple times

12:31throughout the day and would not shake hands with women and more. In addition, he leveled harsh criticism at the conduct of fly Dubai where he works and claims that the protocol states that flights to Israel are operated only by Emirati pilots or saying Indian like decaptan. The fact that the co-pilot was Amani is negligence that nearly cost the lives of 180 passengers. This source says there's no other way to put it. We hired a terrorist again, there will be an investigation into what happened here. Part of the problem is that because the plan plane landed in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia took control of the actual terrorist and will be interrogating him. And suffice to say, I don't think that Saudi Arabia can be trusted to tell the truth about what exactly this person is saying. They have a wide variety of interests around the region, some in coincidence with those of the west and some very much not in coincidence with those of the west. Remember, there a an allied country with the United States, but they are also in a defense pact of Pakistan at this point and playing footsie with the Iranians in an attempt to get the Iranians to call off the hoothies. According to the Jerusalem post, after around six hours into book Saudi Arabia, a second fly Dubai aircraft with

13:32a new staff, especially approved by Masad came through Saudi Arabia and flew the Israeli passengers back to Israel. Why exactly was there a delay? Well, it turns out the Saudis refused any air force from Israel or commercial aircraft landing in Israel just to get these people home. Which I'm sorry is pretty vile. In the idea that you can't fly an all plane into Saudi Arabia to pick up people who almost died in a hijacking because this would somehow offend the Saudi population, just pretty disgusting. And the Saudi said, Israel needs to understand normalization cannot be forced. I didn't realize that allowing a plane to land to take home its civilians were almost killed in a hijacking amount to normalization. So the assumption is that this person was a lone wolf. Multiple sources have told the Jerusalem post, Masad Sinbet, IDF and the transportation ministry believe the hijacker was a lone wolf, not under orders from Iran or another terror group. But again, there is a disconnect in the investigation because the Saudis are leading the investigation of the hijacker, which again is an absurdity. This person should be shipped back to UAE or should

14:36be shipped to Israel so that this person can be pumped for information. So the cooperation between Israel and the UAE who are part of a an alliance in the Abraham Accords, broker by President Trump, they're the information sharing will be very good. But bottom line is this, what we watch here is an extraordinary act of human heroism. And I got to say God touched this flight because there are a thousand ways that this could have ended in not only tragedy but international crisis. Because let's say that Saudi and Jordan had denied airspace, which again, there's some early reports that that's actually what happened and the plane had crashed massive international incident. Or imagine that the plane goes down and all you know is that the Omani Copilot, who is a radical Islamist terrorist brings it down. Does that force Israel into action again against Iran? Right. What was averted here is truly extraordinary. And the heroism the people involved can't be overstated. But bottom line is this, as always and forever, when it comes to Islamic terrorism,

15:40you can either fight or you can surrender. Those are the two choices. We'll get to more on that in just a second.

So first of all, the UK Foreign Secretary and Miliband issued a statement in the wake of the attempted hijacking quote. We are very concerned about the incident and appreciate the fact that these plane that the plane landed safely thanks to the actions of those on board. Our thoughts are about those injured in the incident with all the passengers of the plane and with their families. Oh, is an incident? Was it? He can't even say terrorist attack. It was an incident or he can't say hijacking. It was an incident. You know, like a mechanical failure of some sort that involved a copilot stabbing a pilot, almost to death and then trying to slam the plane into the desert. It was an incident. Of course, this is not surprising from the same UK Foreign Secretary who says top priority is shipping Palestinian refugees into the UK. Well, ripping on the Israelis for pursuing their own self defense. Okay, the UK head of counter terrorism, by the way, we have updates on the men who released on bail remember that there was an attempted attack on an

17:42RAF base, a royal Air Force base where a bunch of American assets are located. And that terrorist attempt was pretty obviously linked to Iran. As we'll see, the UK is now acknowledging this openly. Here is the UK head of counter terrorism announcing that five of the men involved were released on bail. I can confirm that following extensive interviews and inquiries, the five men who were arrested are being released on police bail this afternoon. And then it turns out that the UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham says that it's very likely that Iran was involved. There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF but of course it remains an ongoing complex and serious police investigation. And of course, we are working closely with our colleagues in the United States of America. So it's ongoing. I have held a co-brem meeting as I've been here at the conference in Liverpool. We are on top of it

18:42in every possible way imaginable. The police in Gloucestershire, our counter terrorism police have done an outstanding job. I thank them for that. We will say more in due course but we can confirm our belief that we believe Iran to have played a part. Okay, well, the good news for Iran is there will never be any consequences because the UK has already decided to surrender to all of this. Iranian foreign minister Abbas Arahi put out a tweet saying you're barking up them wrong tree. You've got to solve wrong. Zaykhid from Iran's belief that releasing supposed terrorists working for foreign states really says it all. You're barking up the wrong tree. So he's using the fact that they put these people out on bail as an excuse to say that Iran had no involvement. Again, what does Iran want? Iran wants the same thing that it has always wanted to feed of the West and it believes that by pursuing terrorism and by getting governments elected like the labor government in Great Britain, they will succeed. Now, what is amazing to watch right now is the split in the West over whether to actually

19:44fight radical Islamist enemies or just surrender to them. The Trump administration, again, the Trump administration has done something different than any administration of my lifetime that actually stood up to the Iranian terror regime. And I think there's a high likelihood that before President Trump leaves office, there is a different regime in Tehran. Here is Secretary of State Marquil Rubio pointing out on Sean Hannanese show that Iran's entire goal has been to build up weapons of mass destruction and fun terrorism. This is not simply about imposing economic costs on this regime. Every dollar that Iran has, what they have done over the last 30 years is any time they get money, be it under Obama's sanction relief, be it under economic selling of oil and gas or whatever, they don't use that money to build hospitals. They don't use that money to build roads. They don't use that money to improve the life of the Iranian people. They use that money to do two things, build weapons for themselves and export the revolution. They use the money to fund Hezbollah. They use the money to fund Hamas. They use the money to fund Shia militias in Iraq. That's what they use. They use the money to sponsor terrorism and assassination plots all over

20:45the world. And so every penny that they get into their hands is money that they use for purposes of these malign activities. Okay, of course, he's totally right about that. The UK responds to that by saying, but why? Why would you ever try to do anything about that? By the way, the opening of the straight form moves has largely been accomplished. There are charts demonstrating that oil exports are nearly back to pre-war levels, even as Kharga exports, meaning exports from Iran are zero. For the total Middle East, this is the number of barrels of oil shipped out per day. In January, 2026, it was 18,121,000 barrels of oil per day. Then it dropped to 7.6 million barrels of oil in March. It was back up to 14.5 in June. Right now, it's about 17,000. So almost back to where it was before the war started. That is because, again, there's been additional transit via the Red Sea, where a lot of oil has been directed away from the

21:48straight form moves and across that East-West pipeline in Saudi Arabia. Second of all, because the Kharga exports have dropped pretty radically. What does that mean? It means that Iran is being strangled economically, which is, of course, why Iran is now seeking desperately to get Democrats elected. This is the amazing thing is that the Iranians are saying everything out loud. They want the West to surrender, and they know the party most likely to grant them the surrender is, in fact, a Democratic party. So the IRGC put out an open letter to Americans calling on US civilians to, quote, rest control back from corrupt politicians. Quote, although American politicians often win your votes through deception and false promises as Trump did, you can change the makeup of the government. If you apply the criteria for good leadership and choosing the people you vote into office to allow vulgar and immoral individuals to continue steering your politics and policies will only further humiliate and undermine the US. Americans need to wake up. You're being told by the IRGC who to vote for. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps that shot 50,000 people in the streets back in January, keeps women in a state of

22:48PNH and attacks every country in the region. They're telling who to vote for and the answer is the Democrats according to the IRGC. People all around the world says the IRGC are looking to Americans to stop their government. Americans need to rise up and put an end to this miserable situation that their country and the world at large is facing. And the letter argues that the US and Iran thing get along. All the US has to do is close all of its overseas military bases and all aid to Israel and avoid all foreign wars. And they say, by the way, when we say death to America, we don't mean death to America. Just like when we say jihad, we don't mean jihad. We mean self-struggle. But we're doing this routine now. The IRGC says death to America is a prayer. For the eradication of a diabolical ruling elite who seat of power is the White House. If Americans could only come on a short trip to Iran, they would immediately realize their officials and their media are lying to them about Iran, says the letter. Well, Americans can't go to Iran because they might be taken prisoner by the regime. And by the way, if you would like to know what actually Iran is like, there are a couple of great books by VS. Nipole, who actually as a

23:52journalist was allowed into Iran during the 80s and the answer is it is a bleephole run by Islamist fanatics. And this has been true for about 50 years. And they want the Democrats elected. They are very clear about this because they believe the Democrats will surrender to them. And so when you see additional pursuit of terrorism, and again, the terrorism warnings with regards to Iran right now are very, very high. When you see those terrorism warnings emerge, understand their goal is to basically do to the entire West what al-Qaeda did to Spain in 2004. Pursuit terrorist attacks, up the ante, create more chaos, increase the oil prices, and hope that the West caves. Because the Islamic world is a shame culture, they believe that if you are shamed, if somehow you lose face that you're going to run away. And in some cases, they're absolutely right. Now what should the West be doing? Well, the West obviously should be standing up. Obviously, that's not happening in some parts of the West like Great Britain. And then there are

24:53people in the United States who would like for the West to lose as well. Which is why Tucker Carlson spent his evening yesterday saying that we need to understand the Iranian perspective. Quote, Americans rarely hear the Iranian perspective on the Iran War. This is a response, by the way, to the Iranian letter calling to vote for Democrats. So when you, when I say Tucker Carlson wants Democrats to win because he is a demoralization op, he wants Democrats to win. He is literally tweeting out letters from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, a terrorist group that rips America and rips President Trump on behalf of Democrats. That is what Tucker Carlson is now. Quote, Americans rarely hear the Iranian perspective on the Iran War, but they should. There's no other way to fully understand what the conflict is really about. Today's daily news briefing has the latest on Iran's revolutionary guards publishing an open letter to the American people. Wow. Wow. Great stuff. But the horseshoe is in full effect. Anacasparian is out there suggesting. I mean, again, anti-Semitism is brain poison. And once you get a drop, it just destroys you. It is a universal acid. Anacasparian spent her day saying that

26:00the hijacking was probably a false flag by the Israeli government. I just think it's a little early to carry out a hijacking terrorist attack that's meant to victimize Israel. So those are the things that just on the surface I've noticed so far. There could be more. Like I said, the story is developing. But I gotta say, man, the other thing that was seared in my mind as this story broke was weird. Just yesterday, Netanyahu was saying that the Iranians are going to carry out some sort of attack against Israel ahead of the Israeli elections. And everyone was saying, uh-oh, here comes the false flag. Now look, I'm not saying that this is a false flag. I don't know yet. I don't know yet. I think it's fishy. And meanwhile, the other parts of the horseshoe, Hassan Piker, Hassan Piker, he's out there very, very upset that Zorn Mondani, who again put together a fake strategy to fight anti-Semitism, he's upset that Mondani's even doing that.

27:02Jews as well as every other New Yorker should never feel unsafe going to their place of worship. It's also outright ridiculous to claim that there isn't, uh, you know, more anti-Semitism taking place. But Zorn Mondani's commentary on this featured the NYPD's anti-Semitism statistics. And we all know that they're not as crazy as the ADL, no one really is. But they still also feature anti-Sinist incidents as anti-Semitic. So for him as the anti-Sinist mayor to turn around and legitimize that is, I think, unacceptable. Again, the left is angry at Mondani for being to oppose to anti-Semitism. Amazing stuff. By the way, speaking of Zorn Mondani, New York elected a mayor who, while he was putting out an anti-Semitism fight plan, his wife was literally an anti-Semitic wellness retreat at the exact same time. According to the Washington Free Beacon,

28:03New York City's first lady is currently wrapping up a week as an artist in residence at a luxury Islamic wellness retreat that is called for the destruction of Israel and openly celebrated Palestinian terrorism. How we let these people into our country is absolutely beyond me. It is astonishing. Again, it is, um, it is a demonstration of a West that is fully suicidal that we have imported people to the West who wish to just destroy the West who in the face of Islamic terrorism, either agree with it and promote it or who just wish to surrender to it. Well, again, the Trump administration is not doing that. It is unique. One of the signal successes of the Trump administration is that legal immigration and refugees from Muslim majority countries has fallen 96 percent since 2024. That is a very good thing because if you ever wonder how people like Hassan Pekar end up in our country, that would be one of the reasons that Hassan Pekar is in our country. Look at that drop in legal immigrants and refugees from Muslim majority countries, fallen 96 percent from 2024. That is a win. Listen up,

29:07there are enough people listening to this show right now that if they don't vote, it could swing key states in the 2026 election to the Democrats and everybody listening knows every single ultra far left democratic socialist will show up to vote this fall.

Meanwhile, the administration is seeking to deport the leader of Wisconsin's largest mosque on national security grounds, which makes perfect sense. According to the LA Times, Sallas Sarsour was detained in Milwaukee in March by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers. A federal judge orders Sarsour's release in June,

31:08saying he raised a substantial claim that the Trump administration was targeting him for speaking out against Israel and advocating for Palestinian rights. But government attorneys say that Sarsour's decades old convictions in Israel make him a threat to national security and they accuse him of lying on his green card applications. He threw a molotov cocktail on stones at Israeli personnel in 1988 in 1995 who's convicted of attempting to possess weapons. And then he lied on all of his applications to come to the United States. He's the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee. And of course, he is a radical. He appears in the Holy Land Foundation investigation as a fundraiser from us in the United States allegedly. So it's good. The United States is now saying we don't need more of these people in our country. That is a good thing. Estonish again. Part of the part of the battle here, civilization only does involve our absolutely pathetic media. It is worth noting that the media have just been trash on this whole

32:10issue, including by the way, we ought to flash back to a correspondent for the nation magazine, left-wing magazine, 2024, quote, you can't protest peacefully. You can't boycott. You can't hunger strike. You can't hijack planes. You can't block traffic. You can't throw molotovs. You can't self-imulate. You can't heckle politicians. You can't march. You can't ride. You can't to send. You just can't be. Yeah, we know that that's what you would do with your freedom. It's true. You probably should not hijack the planes. And they can always count on their friends and the media to do their dirty work for them. This is why Christiana Ammanpur still has a job. She said yesterday she doesn't think she's political. The CNN International reporter. She is just a horrible reporter wildly biased against the West. And if there's somebody there being killed, or raped, or attacked, or excluded, or hated because of their gender, their race, their sexuality, their whatever it might be, their ethnicity, then I know that that's wrong. Again, I don't think

33:12I'm political, but I have a deep respect for human rights. What do you mean you're not political? Because if it's being political, holding up democracy, then I'm political. If it's political advocating for the truth and honesty, then I'm political. If it's political believing in human rights, I'm political. Okay, I think you're political. Okay. In that regard, yeah. But I'm not blue-red political. I understand that. She's not political, you see. I mean, here she was in 2025 saying that Israeli hostages are treated better than the average Gaza in which on the know. And I think for short, people who start to talk to the hostages who've only just been released will find that it will take a long, long time for them to recover physically, but also mentally. It's been a terrible, terrible two years for them because not only are they there, you know, they're probably being treated better than the average Gaza because they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had. Now, Hamas has given up all its leverage, by the way, by giving them all up. Okay, again, this

34:15armidia is just a trash bag. It is just a trash bag and complicit in the destruction of the West full stop. Okay, well, speaking of the U.S. of fighting its own destruction, yesterday, Pete Hagueceth announced a number of moves at the Department of Defense. He says that obviously they are focused on the war fighting machine. This is what the Secretary of Defense has always suggested. But it's worth saying again, so that the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that. No fatties, no tranny's, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. Just tough, ready, committed truths. The war department, as you know, is colorblind, gender neutral and merit based. Okay, again, this is right. The Pentagon has now also moved to tap Elon Musk and Palmer Lucky

35:15to plan out the future of war according to pirate wires. They announced project Meridian, led by Elon Musk, Palmer Lucky and former Speaker of the House New of Gingrich. They're going to investigate where future military engagements will happen. And Mars, the Mariana Trench, or space, the new technologies the Department of Formals by in order to win. They have 120 days to release their report. So Elon and Palmer Lucky, Palmer Lucky, of course, the head of the Anderil, which is a very high tech defense firm. They've cartblunch alongside the other private sector experts to think about what pirate wires authors cause weird bleep for war. So they're going to explore unknown unknowns going beyond the Pentagon's known shortcomings like software AI and manufacturing to investigate future vulnerabilities. This is a good thing. It is a useful thing. The fact that the Trump administration has attempted to build up the military is trying to think creatively. All of that is a good thing. Obviously, the left very exercise because how dare you have high IQ people trying to make our military better instead. We have to orient towards self destruct. Elbridge Colby has also released an update on the implementation of the 2026 national defense

36:19strategy. It prioritizes four items to first defend the American homeland, second to turt China in the Indo-Pacific through strength, not confrontation, three increased burden sharing with US allies and partners and four supercharge the US industrial defense base. He points out that defending the homeland, the United States has taken seriously threats from the border. When it comes to deterring China, this building up defense capabilities, especially air and naval mines and undersea forces, burden sharing with allies means that we have put more of a burden on NATO 3.0. That's working, by the way. Here's the NATO Secretary General Mark Rudy saying that NATO is going to step up into more for Ukraine, not less. Russia continues its reckless campaign of hostile actions against NATO allies. It is trying to weaken our resolve and stop our support for Ukraine. Russia is failing. It is failing on the battlefield in Ukraine and it is failing to undermine our unity and support for Ukraine. Our message to Moscow is clear. We will do even more for Ukraine and not less.

37:26Again, this is part of the United States actually shifting some of the burden of world policing onto our allies, which is a good thing. The other thing that the Trump administration is doing that is very important is running forward on AI. That is really, really, really important. So a couple of days ago, the president held a super intelligence luncheon featuring everybody from Elon Musk to Jensen Huang over an Nvidia to Dario Amote to Mark Zuckerberg. They all showed up. Again, it is kind of amusing if you know the people involved to look at who had to sit next to whom because it got kind of awkward. They have Chimoff sitting across from Dario Amote. Those two did not get along particularly well. So that was kind of funny. You had Musk and Jensen flanking the president. There are some pretty memeable moments from this particular event. Alex Carp from Palantir, who is great, actually took the microphone from a CNBC reporter outside the White House and told them to ask better questions. Mr. Nadella, can you give us a sense of what you're going to tell the president today?

38:30Mr. Nadella, you want me to get a question for you? Sure, go ahead. You want to talk to me? You don't do this. Okay, you do how you do it. Okay, like Chom, okay, Chom, tell me about how AI works on the battlefield. That's a question, no answer. Or I think we find who found cars second career. Again, yes, I mean, he's again, some of these people are very, very amusing. Dario Amote was there. It got very awkward because Dario is an awkward person. He's also the one who's been suggesting that everybody needs to be regulated up the wazoo or raw bloodling to die. He showed up at the White House and nonetheless, apparently wearing the suit that Tom Hanks wore in big. We all need to work together to make sure that we can win and we can win safely. If we can, if we do this right, we work with the president and everyone here, we can win safely. The police thing is an awkward person. He had a view. Hold it. Hold it. See an infect. Do you think that the police thing is not the worst? Look, Dario has been fantastic.

39:34He's Zuckerberg breaking up in the background there. Well, the United States put out a statement on super intelligence. Unfortunately, they spelled it United States wrong in the announcement on super intelligence was a little bit awkward. But the basic announcement was that there's going to be collaboration between all these various AI companies to ensure that super intelligence serves the American public and does not victimize the American public. In video, has also debuted. They've now reported an open agent safety platform. What they say is this. To understand where agentage AI stands today, consider the last seismic shift in technology, the rise of the internet in the 90s. It brought endless opportunity, but also a lot of risk. A website could run code on your machine, steal your sensitive information or infect your computer with a virus. People loved it anyway. To introduce a layer of trust, the community built things like encrypted connections and a lock icon to know when a connection was safe. The step function change into safety in safety came from a radical security idea at the time. Isolate each page in its own sandbox, a tab and a browser. So a rogue page couldn't infect the rest of your computer. Amazon Google Metaflex and MetaWorld built on this trust layer. We need to build this trust layer

40:35for agents again. These people are thinking about what has to be done. And that is a very good thing because for national security purposes, we cannot drop behind the Chinese. Naturally, you have the left. Again, if the left ever gains control of all three branches of government, if they get the House, the Senate and the presidency, the American economy will just be cratered because the left is fully invested in the idea that AI is going to kill us all just as they were invested in the idea that capitalism was going to kill us all with with tsunami like whether here is Jimmy Kimmel doing this routine yesterday. He's obsessed with changing the names of things. Ever since he had gone junior, he has been in love with changing the names of things, the idea that our guardrails against AI are being erected by an adult 80 year old man. It's like asking your grandpa to set up a Wi-Fi router in your house. Just wouldn't do it. Okay, again, like here's the thing. Donald Trump doesn't want to set up the Wi-Fi router. You know who wants to? Ron Wyden and Elizabeth Warren. So here are your choices. You can either have some of the smartest people on the planet building the coolest things or you can have some of the dumbest people on the

41:38planet restricting from people from building the things that actually build our economy. Those are your choices. There is no third choice.

So there's a woman who is on death row in Tennessee. Her name is Christa Pike. She was sentenced to death in 1996 at the age of 20 because she

43:44murdered a 19 year old named Colleen Slammer in Knoxville, Tennessee. Court filing to medical records show that her childhood was a disaster and neglect abandon sexual assault at age 11, rape at age 17. She attempted suicide when she was 12. She's been diagnosed with bipolar. So in 1995 when Pike was 18, she learned a classmate named Colleen Slammer to a wooded area near the University of Tennessee's agricultural campus and killed her because she believed the Colleen was trying to steal her boyfriend. Apparently, she assaulted Slammer for 30 minutes of the box cutter and a meat cleaver. She carved a pentagram into Slammer's chest. And then afterward, she kept a fragment of her skull as a souvenir. So that is a brutal murder. In March, 1996, she was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy and the jury gave the death penalty. So again, death penalty, the methods have changed. This will become relevant in a moment. Originally, the state of Tennessee used hanging as their method of capital punishment. And then in the 1910s, they used the electric chair. They paused capital punishment entirely between 1960 and 2000 and then they switched to lethal injection. So while she was on death row,

44:47this murderous was convicted of attempted first-degree murder for strangling another inmate with a shoe cord at the Tennessee prison for women. She attempted to escape of the correctional officer in 2012, but was foiled. So her execution was suddenly stayed an hour before it was slated to be held and then the Supreme Court said that they could go forward. Now, the court halted a procedure to re-examine her childhood trauma and mental health considerations and certain restrictions placed by the state regarding her access to her Buddhist spiritual advisor. Pike said on Monday, she felt kinship with Lindsey Clancy and was pleased the accused child murderer received a mistrial for killing her three kids using exercise bands in 2023. She says, I was mentally a 18 year old girl who committed a crime with two other individuals and I was the only one to receive the sentence. There's so many women who don't get the help they need me and others. So the Supreme Court voted six three to allow Tennessee to proceed with the execution. But it didn't work. So officials gave her a dose of Pento Barbotol that should have killed her

45:49and it failed. So apparently she was alive and loudly snoring after the attempted lethal injection. I'm sorry, it's something out of a very, very, very dark sitcom. The state's execution protocol calls for a secondary set of drugs or inches to be administered. If the inmate is not deceased after the first set, it doesn't say what happens if the subject is alive still after the second set. Robin Mar, the executive director of the death penalty information center said that this is singular and unparalleled. She remained awake at one point she raised her head and asked prison officials if her arm was supposed to feel that way. It was not clear to what she was referencing. So now Tennessee governor Beli is pausing all executions this year calling for a comprehensive third party review of Pike's execution. Okay, so first of all, let's just talk about the death penalty briefly as a moral matter. The death penalty is entirely married. The death penalty is the proper punishment for people who do egregious crimes of murder, egregious crimes of rape for a wide variety of reasons, not just deterrence.

46:49The most obvious case for the death penalty is that people deserve it. And the reason that you deserve it is because again, the way that criminal justice has worked in society's going back legitimately millennia is that if somebody kills a member of your family, you then go and kill a member of their family. And the monopoly on legitimate use of force being delegated to the state means that there must be a punishment commensurate with the crime to prevent us from falling into vengeful tribalism. That is the basis of the death penalty and that still holds today. Second, there are certain things that are so morally egregious that you deserve to not re-breathing the same error as the rest of us. It seems to me that murdering a woman and bashing her skull and then keeping a piece of it probably falls into that category. With that said, it is kind of incredible that we have come up with methods of execution that apparently are so humane that they don't actually kill the person kind of kind of unbelievable stuff. Alrighty, and other cultural news to shift gears radically. Pete Davidson did an interview with variety.

47:52And in it, we find out some things about Pete Davidson. So Pete Davidson, for those who don't remember, is the tattooed bizarre vampire looking comedian who somehow has been able to date half of the beautiful women in Hollywood. Well, he's removed pretty much all of his tattoos except for for some reason his Hillary Clinton tattoo. I don't understand the logic. You remove all of them except for the lady who lost his Donald Trump in 2016. Is that happy that Trump won in 2016? What's happening here? Is she just such a beautiful woman? He needs her tattooed on his arm. It's not even a good tattoo of Hillary Clinton. Like, if you look at that tattoo, it would take you a minute to realize that supposed to be Hillary Clinton. So he is keeping his tattoo of Hillary Clinton. Again, bad judgment, not good judgment, Pete Davidson. According to variety, quote, it's easy to see why women are drawn to Davidson. In person, he's imposingly rangel and muscular and shoots you straight, a working class fellow from Staten Island, unlike those posh theater kids running around Hollywood.

48:52He's also possessed of a wounded underdog quality that invites warmth. You want him to be okay. Well, I mean, first indicator, someone is not okay is the Hillary Clinton tattoo. Second indicator is keeping the Hillary Clinton tattoo. I'm not sure how many people have a Bob Dool tattoo. Still, I feel like not many. According to variety, he says he's sober now, save around four years a year. He says I don't have with drugs anymore. It's been two or three years from doing really hard stuff and about a year or more from weed. Weirdly, the hardest thing to stop was weed. That's not weird at all because weed is addictive, contrary to public opinion. And now it's easy because I have a kid. Anytime there's ever a thought, I look at my phone background and go, oh, yeah, no. Which again, that good for him. That's good. He said that he was in the process of getting most of his nearly 200 tattoos removed. He says, one, they were effing horrible. Two was a business decision. I hated coming into the makeup trailer three hours early to spray paint over horrible effing tattoos. And third, I was like, I'm not this dude. I got these when I was in immense amount of pain and I was trying to show people my pain. But he's keeping the one of Hillary Clinton in a

49:54power suit on his leg. She says, that's my dog. I love Hillary, man. She's awesome and a good friend. Hmm. That is, I have to say not, not great. But again, points to Pete Davidson. He is saying more saying things than he has historically. He was asked in an interview for Variety about Zoran Mamdani. And he has some objections because again, he's from Staten Island. Staten Island is not Mamdani territory. Zoran Mamdani. Zoran Mamdani is he Staten Island. I don't know. I don't think he's from Staten Island. I don't know if he has Staten Island's heart. I don't think he's Staten Island. I don't have a problem with the guy, but I definitely don't think he's Staten Island at all. Staten Island is the only red place in New York and it's violently red. I try to explain because, you know, most of my family is, you know, on the red side. It's not like that like storm the capital vibe. It's more just like, he's funny. Like, I don't, I just need something different.

51:00Like, it's not like a racist misogynistic sort of thing. It's just like they, they just, it's 1985 over there. You are not a real Staten Island politician unless you have a secret family and no one mobster. Again, I will say that Pete Davidson seems to be coming back to some semblance of reality. So good for him. Good for him. Meanwhile, Paris Fashion Week has begun. Um, Paris Fashion Week is where people spend enormous amounts of money to demonstrate outfits that no one would ever wear if they had half a brain. And so I have been mandated by my staff to review some of the, some of the clips of Paris Fashion Week. Oh, no. Oh, no. This is a model wearing what appears to be a furry mask like with Cheetah Cat outfit. Here, people dressed up like freaky demons from the haunted mansion. We've got a person who looks like she swallowed a chair.

52:01We've got a one known from Halloween. We've got like this, such fashion. We've got a refugee from Mad Max crossed with, I don't even know how to describe these outfits. How do you describe these outfits? How do you describe this woman? Oh, my God. If you saw this coming, you had three in the morning. You would absolutely fire in self-defense. I mean, my goodness. This Paris Fashion Week, just things happening over there. So apparently Paris Fashion Week was supposed to, was supposed to be rooted in a critique of inequality. So models showed up with white billionaires on their shoulders. I'm not even kidding. So this is a black model carrying what appears to be Jeff Bezos on her shoulder. And then we have a model carrying a fake baby. And then we have a, again, they're carrying billionaires on their shoulders because this is the weight of the world. Who do you think is paying for all of this, presumably? I'm just, I'm constantly astonished by the Marxists who make a living off

53:07of complaining about how terrible the rich people are, well, rich people buy their clothes. Capitalism always wins. Well, it wasn't just a bunch of random models who was also a bunch of famous actresses who showed up as well as Zoe Saldana showed up and apparently wore nearly nothing because fashion involves wearing essentially lingerie. Rihanna showed up as well. And she looks like she was ingested by one of the hunches and bunches from Dr. Seuss. So she's also wearing lingerie, but also apparently she's skinned. It's enough to lupig us and decided to wear his suit. So that's, that's good. Jennifer Lopez showed up and actually looked semi-normal, I guess, like good for her. She was like, she's evening appropriate. So that's the first time. There's the first time for everything. And Rosalia showed up as well and forgot her under shirt. So she got eaten by a floral bouquet. So again, these are your fashion bettors. You should take their advice and you should

54:11wear these things around the house or alternatively you probably shouldn't. I wonder why Hollywood thinks this way. I wonder why Hollywood is filled with so many crazy people. Actress Cameron Mannheim spoke at the Human Rights Campaign the other day and she said that she always wanted a gay son. I don't know. I feel like if that was your, if that was your like what you wanted out of life was a son who likes dudes. That was like the thing that you prayed for. But why? I always wanted a gay son. I did. I love that relationship between gay sons and their mothers. I want to be the picket sign holding mom who would beat the **** out of somebody for her kid. I mean, let's just admit it. Gay sons are the best, right? Right. I have photographs of my son in high heels in full drag. He knows every word to every musical ever written. His fairy godfather, Aaron Walton,

55:13is here with us tonight. I mean, truly, I thought I had this **** thing locked up. But no, no. He's the only straight guy in his entire musical theater company. Well, I mean, I'm sorry that happened to you. Notice that her entire critique is about herself because having children is really not about the kids about you as a person. Okay, well speaking of this side of the aisle, this brings us to WNBA news. And I'm not talking about Candace Owens again. I'm just mean, just WNBA news like, you know, the WNBA where the ladies play the basketball. Well, there was a controversy that broke out when one Asia Wilson shoved Sophie Cunningham on the court and like really just kind of shoved her full body. Here is the here's the footage. Just knocks her over and it's going against Cunningham. And then Asia Wilson, like wanders into the crowd to yell at somebody. So what did this fan do?

56:22The fan was not ejected from the game. What did the fan do? Now she's yelling at the referee. What did the fan do? Well, we have a better angle of what the fan actually did. And what the fan actually did was nothing. He literally started to point to her and said that foul should be on you. They call the foul on Sophie Cunningham for standing there. And then the fan stood up and pointed at her and then she charged into the crowd. The difference is that in the NBA when a player charges into the crowd, everybody scatters because oh boy, someone's going to get destroyed. When Asia Wilson charges into the crowd, that's just somebody yelling at you. Now Sophie Cunningham trolled Asia Wilson over it. Sophie Cunningham living her best trolley life. Not trying to be dramatic at all, like seriously. I was just here having my morning coffee and what a damn comeback year for the point. Who would have ever thought? Just who would have ever thought? Okay, she's just enjoying her life. So Asia Wilson did try to explain what happened. I don't know if you guys know me, but I'm really getting to the bush.

57:25I know. I try to play my game. Keep it pushing. But if I'm just walking because I just got the foul, I'm chilling. And if I see a man come at me taking steps towards me and pointing at me, I don't give a damn what you said. I don't give a damn how you said it the tone. That is unacceptable. You don't step towards me. You never just to end point at me. I'm not I'm not put at at all. Excuse my French and God bless me. But that there is unacceptable. And how he gets back in the game because they said he didn't do anything. Of course he didn't. And that's fine. But and I apologize to my team because I got us a tick and I really, but it's just certain things that I'm just not going to allow anymore because it's just unacceptable. So don't you don't know me at all to come and step towards me and point at me and say anything out your amount to so yeah. Has she ever been to a sporting event where fans say things about and to the players for

58:27the entirety of the sporting event. All the guy did was step out into the out and point at her into that foul should have been on you. That's all it was. It's totally insane that that response is crazy. I'm sorry. That's a crazy response. Obviously, can you imagine if the sexes were versed out it would not it would not work this way. WNBA just like looking for the most harmless human beings to represent represent their league. I've heard the argument made that if women around the world would be a more peaceful world, I present to you the WNBA. Alrighty coming up, we are going to jump into the left versus the right on immigration. The left continues to be extraordinarily insane when it comes to immigration.
