Republican senators like Murkowski and Tillis express concern but remain too afraid to confront Trump directly. 00:21:13 – ICE Snipers and the War on ProtestVideo evidence shows ICE agents firing pepper balls at peaceful protesters and clergy.

Knight calls it blatant graft disguised as “health reform.” 00:52:21 – Gold Surges Past $4,000Knight reports that gold has shattered the $4,000 mark, framing it as a collapse of faith in fiat currencies rather than a rise in gold's intrinsic value. He warns of a global debt time bomb and urges listeners to hold physical metals, not paper ETFs. 01:21:21 – EU Approves Mass Chat SurveillanceKnight exposes the EU's “Chat Control 2.0,” a regulation scanning all private messages under the pretext of child safety.

He warns it criminalizes “potential hate” and mirrors Soviet-style repression disguised as tolerance. 01:53:08 – Outlawing Hate & Christian PersecutionKnight and callers discuss how outlawing hate only drives resentment underground. They argue Christians and white males have become the primary targets of Western censorship and discrimination campaigns. 01:57:00 – Biden's CIA Cover-Up in UkraineSegment details Biden's effort to suppress intelligence on his family's Ukrainian corruption ties while pressuring prosecutors to halt investigations—evidence of long-standing collusion between the CIA and political elites. 02:03:22 – “Precious Freedom” and the Lies of VietnamAuthor James Bradley joins to discuss his book Precious Freedom, which reexamines the Vietnam War through the eyes of both Americans and Vietnamese.

Knight compares it to modern media deception surrounding COVID and other political lies. 02:28:14 – Mothers, Media, and Awakening to WarThe character Betty, a patriotic mother, mirrors America's awakening as she discovers suppressed speeches by Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King Jr. condemning the war. Knight and Bradley discuss how media censorship concealed moral opposition. 02:37:42 – CIA, Opium, and the War MachineKnight and Bradley expose General Westmoreland's alleged role in global opium trafficking and how CIA operations in Vietnam, Laos, and Italy funded covert wars. They argue mainstream media knowingly concealed this vast corruption network. 02:40:49 – The Night War Vietnam StoryBradley explains that America never “won a single 24-hour period” in Vietnam. The Vietcong fought exclusively at night while U.S. troops retreated daily, contradicting the myth that the U.S. “won every battle.” 02:43:55 – Lessons for America's Future WarsBradley likens Ho Chi Minh to George Washington, saying defenders always win when fighting for home. Knight connects these lessons to modern U.S. interventions in Iran and Venezuela, warning that America's leaders keep repeating Vietnam's mistakes. 02:55:49 – The Real Domino TheoryKnight concludes that while America fought communism abroad, Marxism quietly conquered its schools, bureaucracy, and culture—turning the “domino theory” inward.

Tucker Carlson has taken on a highly visible role in the aftermath of the recent assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. On September 21, Carlson delivered a widely discussed eulogy at Kirk's memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, an event attended by thousands including national political figures like President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Donald Trump Jr. During his remarks, Carlson reflected on Kirk's legacy, warning against those who seek to silence dissenting voices and emphasizing Kirk's commitment to moral courage, introspection, and faith as guiding principles for America's future.In response to the tragedy, Turning Point USA announced that its ongoing “American Comeback Tour” will continue in Kirk's honor, and Carlson has been confirmed as the replacement keynote speaker for the planned October 21 event at Indiana University in Bloomington. The appearance is being touted as a significant moment for campus free speech, a subject that's drawn renewed attention in light of Kirk's killing. Local TPUSA organizers have called Carlson's upcoming appearance a “major event” for the university community, highlighting the debate over free expression in higher education.Carlson's media ventures remain the subject of ongoing discussion, with reports from outlets like Celebrity Net Worth and MSN estimating his current net worth at up to $50 million, further fueling debates about his broader influence in conservative media and politics. Since his exit from Fox News, Carlson has continued to expand his online media footprint, including successfully raising funding for digital projects such as his media company, which according to Fortune recently raised $15 million in seed capital.In the days following Kirk's assassination, public conversation has focused on Carlson's role within the conservative movement, his rhetorical style, and the increasing politicization of campus and media environments. While supporters praise his willingness to address contentious issues and support for conservative student activism, critics have renewed debates about the impact of his commentary on public discourse and polarization. There have been notable interactions with other public figures, particularly through shared appearances at memorial and activist events, further cementing Carlson's role as a prominent voice in the current conservative landscape.At this time, there are no widely reported legal challenges or new professional controversies directly involving Carlson himself. However, his ongoing commentary and involvement in politically charged events continue to spark vigorous public discussion about the responsibilities of media figures, the boundaries of free speech, and the role of partisan activism in shaping public debate.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

One reason Charlie was such a remarkable man was that he could speak on equal terms to both ordinary people and the most powerful figures in the land — and as a result, both came to love and respect him. At Sunday's memorial, top members of the Trump Administration, from Stephen Miller and Sergio Gor to Marco Rubio and RFK Jr, lined up to both pay him tribute and explain how the Administration will avenge his death and honor his memory. Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. memorialize their friend as well.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, the ABC announced it was suspending Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show “indefinitely” following backlash from conservatives who accused him of not being respectful enough of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's death and Trump's recent reactions - raising questions over free speech. Charlie Kirks memorial was attended by over 200,000 and watched by over a million online - speakers included Trump, RFK Jr, Donald Trump Jr, Erika Kirk and Tucker Carlson. Trump also used the memorial to discuss how they have now found the 'cause of autism', later announcing it was Tylenol being used during pregnancy. A new UN report states that genocide is happening in Gaza and Australia has formally recognised a Palestinian State. Hit TV series that has dominated pop culture, The Summer I Turned Pretty, had its season finale! It was then announced the show is not over yet, there will now be a movie. Trump visits the UK to reaffirm diplomatic relationships - greeted with protest art at Windsor Castle. Alix Earle and Robert Irwin debuted on Dancing With the Stars US. Australia's first National Climate Risk Assessment has been released, and the Government has put forward it's 2035 emissions reduction target.

Segment 1 • Charlie Kirk's memorial pleasantly shocked man who heard hours of Christ-exalting preaching. • Sin, repentance, and the gospel were actually spoken from the stage. • Rob McCoy set the tone: the guest of honor was the King of kings. Segment 2 • Frank Turek gave a bold, gospel-centered proclamation—Charlie is in heaven only because of Christ's sacrifice. • Even political figures like Marco Rubio clearly pointed people to Jesus. • Memorial wasn't just about Charlie—it was about the Savior he served. Segment 3 • Tucker Carlson showed genuine hunger for Christianity but mixed in politics that need clarity. • He highlighted that repentance, not politics, is the starting point for answers. • Other high-profile voices (RFK Jr., Donald Trump Jr.) also mentioned Jesus, surprising many. Segment 4 • The widow Erika Kirk delivered the most Christ-saturated message of all. • Her words cut deep: “Charlie wanted to do God's will” and “Choose Christ above all.” • She even extended forgiveness to the man who killed her husband—radical love on display. ___ Thanks for listening!

This September marks eight years since Donald Trump cozied up to pariah dictator Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt on the sidelines of the United Nations—a secret meeting that reportedly triggered a highly secretive Mueller investigation into whether Trump accepted a $10 million bribe from el-Sisi when his 2016 campaign was desperate for cash. Last summer, Gaslit Nation ran a special episode unpacking this sweeping corruption scandal; you can read a summary here and listen to the episode here. Fast forward to Trump's Middle East tour this past spring, where he once again explicitly told the world that American foreign policy under his influence isn't about democracy or the rule of law: it's about making deals that just so happen to enrich him and his family.  Joining Gaslit Nation to explain what Trump's fire sale of influence to the highest bidder means for the Middle East and us here at home is Ahmed Gatnash, co-founder and Executive Director of the Kawaakibi Foundation, a powerhouse MENA human rights organization, and co-author of The Middle East Crisis Factory. Gatnash brings a razor-sharp analysis of Russia's expanding grip on the Middle East, the unbreakable spirit of the Syrian people fighting for freedom, and the surprising ways bitcoin is being used as a lifeline for human rights activists who know how to navigate its pitfalls. He also tears into the so-called “two-state solution”—overwhelmingly voted on by the United Nations last week—as nothing more than political theater, and shares his vision of what Palestinians and Israelis truly need to secure real, lasting peace. This week's bonus show dives into MAGA's latest wave of threats against the opposition and what a full-scale crackdown could look like–what's likely, what's unlikely, and what's already happening that we need to pay attention to. Catch the full discussion this Friday morning by joining our Patreon community.

Kim naprawdę był Charlie Kirk? W naszym podcaście filmie przybliżamy jego niezwykłą drogę od 17-letniego licealisty, który tweetował do Glenna Becka o walce z "liberalnym nastawieniem", po 22-letniego wolontariusza na kampanii Donalda Trumpa Jr. w 2016 roku – noszącego bagaże i podającego napoje. Bez dyplomu uczelni, Kirk zbudował Turning Point USA, największą młodzieżową organizację konserwatywną w USA, działającą na ponad 3500 kampusach. W 2019 roku założył Turning Point Action, grupę polityczną, która odegrała kluczową rolę w mobilizacji młodych wyborców Trumpa w 2024 roku. Sondaż TikToka z tego roku wskazał go jako najbardziej zaufaną postać dla trumpistów poniżej 30 lat! Kirk prowadził codzienny trzygodzinny program radiowy i podcast, słynął z oratorskich talentów i życzliwego dialogu z oponentami. Jak sam mówił: "Uwielbiam rozmawiać z ludźmi, z którymi się nie zgadzam. Kiedy ludzie przestają rozmawiać, wtedy pojawia się przemoc i widmo wojny domowej".Pomimo gróźb, ataków i stalkingu, Kirk pozostał niezłomny – dokumentował starcia kamerami, widząc w nich "zderzenie idei". Jako głęboko wierzący chrześcijanin, cytował Psalm 97:10: "Ci, którzy kochają Boga, muszą nienawidzić zła". W podcaście George'a Janko w 2024 roku wyjaśniał: "Mam najlepszą osobę na świecie, moją żonę Erikę. Nie chcemy stanąć przed Bogiem i tłumaczyć się, dlaczego nie walczyliśmy ze złem". Pozostawił żonę i dwoje małych dzieci – córkę i syna – a jego dziedzictwo to inspiracja dla milionów młodych, zwłaszcza mężczyzn, do obrony patriotyzmu, wolności słowa i amerykańskich wartości.Reakcje po śmierci? Prezydent Donald J. Trump potępił "retorykę nienawiści lewicy", która według niego doprowadziła do tej tragedii, i obiecał ścigać winnych. Donald Trump Jr. nazwał Kirka "młodszym bratem" o "niezwykłej odwadze". Wszyscy żyjący byli prezydenci złożyli kondolencje, flagi opuszczono do pół masztu, a stadion Yankee oddał hołd. W filmie analizujemy, jak ta strata wpłynie na amerykańską politykę i ruch konserwatywny – czy głos Kirka naprawdę uciszy kula?Subskrybujcie Niepoprawni Dyplomaci, by nie przegapić naszych analiz dyplomacji, historii USA i bieżących wydarzeń!

Megyn Kelly, currently host of The Megyn Kelly Show, a talk show and podcast that airs daily on Sirius XM's Triumph channel and has over 3.6 million subscribers on YouTube, makes her return to the program to talk about her upcoming live tour, inspired by Tucker Carlson's, where she'll engage audiences in cities nationwide alongside figures like Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and Donald Trump Jr. She addresses criticism that she's aligned with anti-Israel voices, firmly rejecting the charge and reaffirming her support for Israel while noting the country is losing the PR war and needs to resolve the conflict. The conversation shifts to crime, where Kelly argues that post–George Floyd policies, fueled by BLM, have endangered American cities by weakening law enforcement and bail standards. She advocates a return to tough-on-crime approaches, praises Trump's efforts to send federal help to cities, and criticizes Democratic governors for refusing assistance out of partisan hatred.

President Trump's deregulatory agenda emboldened prediction markets to push boundaries around permitted event contracts. Now sites advised by his son are allowing bets on his death. Originally published on September 2, 2025.

Tucker Carlson continues to maintain a prominent role in the conservative media landscape, with recent developments reflecting both new directions in his business activities and his ongoing influence in political discourse. The most significant news is his growing connection with 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm that describes itself as anti-ESG and dedicated to backing conservative and “anti-woke” initiatives. According to Le Monde and updated information from the 1789 Capital website, the firm has recently reiterated its support for Carlson's media company, Last Country Inc., which now runs the website for the Tucker Carlson Network. This network remains a focal point for some of the parallel conservative economy efforts backed by several influential investors, including Rebekah Mercer and, as announced just after the 2024 election, Donald Trump Jr., who joined 1789 Capital as a partner. The fund, which already manages roughly $150 million, has signaled its intention to continue supporting Carlson's and other similar ventures as part of their push to reshape conservative media and technology platforms.In terms of media appearances and statements, Carlson has remained active via his network, releasing new interviews and commentary that continue to draw significant attention and response from supporters and critics alike. While specifics on his most recent public remarks are not available at the time of recording, his programming frequently trends across social media and draws engagement from a mix of high-profile political allies and adversaries. He has also remained a prominent topic across Fox News and rival networks, where his commentary and media projects are frequently referenced in broader debates about journalism, misinformation, and political polarization.There have been no major legal developments directly involving Carlson in the past few days, and coverage of his business continues to focus more on the strategic and financial implications of his alignment with investors aiming to build a so-called parallel economy. This alliance has sparked considerable discussion about the influence of alternative conservative media and the increasing push within right-leaning circles to create media infrastructure as a counterbalance to established outlets.Reactions to Carlson's commentary—and by extension, his broader influence—remain sharply divided. Critics on the left and some on the right argue that his platform amplifies divisive rhetoric and questionable information, while his allies praise his willingness to confront major media narratives and offer a platform to perspectives they claim are marginalized elsewhere. Prominent figures in politics and media continue to engage with Carlson's work, sometimes appearing on his program or referencing his influence when addressing broader debates about free speech, censorship, and the purpose of journalism in today's polarized environment.As for the larger implications, Carlson's ongoing projects and his partnership with financially robust backers highlight how he continues to impact the shape of conservative media and its intersection with politics and business. His interactions with figures like Donald Trump Jr. and alignment with venture funds such as 1789 Capital underscore his shift from traditional cable news to a broader, cross-platform media and activism strategy. The debates surrounding his influence, the reach of his new ventures, and their potential to reshape media norms remain highly active both within and outside conservative circles.Thank you for tuning in to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

US Senator Sanders favors Trump plan to take stake in Intel and other chipmakersBernie: "If microchip companies make a profit from the generous grants they receive from the federal government, the taxpayers of America have a right to a reasonable return on that investment."Mark Zuckerberg gifted noise-canceling headphones to his Palo Alto neighbors because of the non-stop construction around his 11 homesCracker Barrel, under fire from Donald Trump Jr. and Steak n' Shake, apologizes to fans but won't drop new logo“If the last few days have shown us anything, it's how deeply people care about Cracker Barrel. We're truly grateful for your heartfelt voices,” the company said Monday in a statement on its website.“You've also shown us that we could have done a better job sharing who we are and who we'll always be.”On Monday, the Lebanon, Tennessee-based company emphasized that many things about Cracker Barrel won't change, including the rocking chairs on its front porches and vintage Americana and antiques scattered throughout its restaurants.Cracker Barrel also said it will continue to honor Uncle Herschel — the older man in the former logo, who represents the uncle of Cracker Barrel's founder — on its menu and on items sold in its stores.But Cracker Barrel said it also wants to make sure that the business stays fresh and attracts a new generation of customers.Maine's Populist Senate Candidate Thinks We Are in a New Gilded AgeAccording to Graham Platner, America has entered a new gilded age and needs a politics that can meet the moment. “I think the comparisons between the late 19th century and now are apt: vast amounts of wealth and regulatory structures that in no way, shape, or form keep that wealth in check,” pointing to the power people like Elon Musk and other prominent Silicon Valley leaders have over the current administration.He pointed to his state's famed and tightly regulated lobster industry as an example.“The state of Maine has passed laws over the years that have regulated the lobster industry in a very specific way, and it means there's one boat, one captain, one license. Fishing can only be conducted while the captain is aboard. This has entirely disincentivized consolidation,” he explained.“The result is a half-a-billion-dollar-a-year industry for the state of Maine that has almost no corporate ownership.”When presented with the alternative theory—that Maine should instead allow consolidation in its prize industry and redistribute wealth back to workers and their communities through other means—he bluntly dismissed its proponents. “Those people are full of shit. The distribution of resources needs to happen at the level where things are being produced.”Lisa Cook Says She Will Not Step Down From the Fed Board“I will not resign,” she said. “I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”Meta Defector Issues Devastating Psychological Takedown of Tech CEOsNick Clegg, a former Meta executive who left the company at the start of this year: "If you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.""You'd think, wouldn't you, that if you were immensely powerful and rich like Elon Musk and all these other tech bros and members of that podcast community that you'd reflect on your good fortune compared with most other people?" Instead, Clegg seethed, they cry persecution."In Silicon Valley, far from thinking they're lucky, they think they're hard done by, [that] they're victims. I couldn't, and still can't, understand this deeply unattractive combination of machismo and self-pity."Red Lobster Is Betting on Black Diners With Its Brand ComebackCEO Damola Adamolekun, who took over the job last September, a 36-year-old Nigerian American, who is also credited with rescuing P.F. Chang's.Red Lobster has been a part of America's casual-dining landscape since the first location opened in Lakeland, Fla., in 1968. Just four years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, many restaurants in the South were still segregated de facto. Red Lobster embraced diversity, opening its doors to Black customers and hiring Black workers.The ‘woke' words Democrats should cut from their vocabularyA new memo identifies 45 words and phrases for Democrats to avoid, alleging the terms turn voters off. They span six categories: Therapy-Speak (1/11: Triggering); Seminar Room Language (0/8); Organizer Jargon (1/8: Stakeholders); Gender/Orientation Correctness (1/8: Patriarchy); The Shifting Language of Racial Constructs (0/5); Explaining Away Crime (0/4)Korea passes boardroom reform, curbing chaebol powerSouth Korea has passed a significant boardroom reform aimed at curbing the power of the country's large family-owned conglomerates, known as "chaebol."Here are some key changes:Mandatory Cumulative VotingFor large listed companies with assets exceeding 2 trillion won (about $1.44 billion), a cumulative voting system is now required. This system allows minority shareholders to pool their votes and elect a representative to the board, giving them a greater voice in corporate governance.Increased Power for Audit CommitteesThe number of audit committee members elected separately from the controlling shareholders will increase from one to at least two. This strengthens the independence of the audit committee, which is responsible for overseeing financial reporting and internal controls.Broader Application of the "3% Rule"The "3% rule," which limits the voting power of the largest shareholders to 3% when electing audit committee members, will now be extended to independent directors. Previously, this cap only applied to internal directors.Extended Fiduciary Duty of DirectorsA previous amendment in July extended the fiduciary duty of directors to all shareholders, not just the company. This change is intended to prevent controlling families from making decisions that benefit themselves at the expense of minority shareholders."Outside Directors" Renamed "Independent Directors"A symbolic but important change that emphasizes the need for directors to act independently of management and controlling shareholders.Mandatory Hybrid Shareholder MeetingsFor publicly traded firms with more than 2 trillion won in assets, hybrid shareholder meetings will be mandatory. This will allow shareholders to participate and vote online, increasing accessibility and participation.Increased Proportion of Independent DirectorsThe required proportion of independent directors on the board has been raised from one-quarter to one-third, further strengthening independent oversight of management."Yellow Envelope Bill"This measure, passed alongside the boardroom reforms, secures bargaining rights for subcontracted workers, which could have a significant impact on the labor practices of chaebol.Revamping Public Broadcaster GovernanceThe reforms also include measures to revamp the governance of public broadcasters, which could reduce the influence of chaebol on the media.UnitedHealth forms new ‘public responsibility' board committeeThe committee will oversee areas where UnitedHealth has struggled or faced public scrutiny: underwriting and forecasting, regulatory relationships, reputational matters, and M&A.Michele Hooper, who's served on UnitedHealth's board since 2007, will step down as lead independent director to chair the committee. Hooper, who will remain a director, will be replaced as lead independent director by F. William McNabb, the former CEO of investing firm the Vanguard Group who has served on UnitedHealth's board since 2018.The U.S. EV fast-charging network is seeing explosive growth—despite Trump's policiesInstallation of fast DC chargers that can get an EV to 80% charged in less than an hour are up more than 25% from 2024—despite the loss of Biden administration initiatives designed to support the growth of the network.Companies with climate targets have more than tripled since 2023The number of companies worldwide with both validated near-term and net-zero science-based climate targets has more than tripled since the end of 2023, from 583 to 1,904, according to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).A total of 10,949 companies worldwide now either have near-term targets or near-term and net-zero targets, or have committed to set them, according to a report by the Science-Based Targets initiative.Air Canada reaches a deal to end flight attendant strikeThe tentative deal secures Air Canada flight attendants at least 60 minutes of ground pay, for their time before each flight, at a rate of 50 per cent of a flight attendant's hourly rate, with that rate increasing five per cent each year.The airline is also proposing immediate pay increases of 12 per cent for flight attendants with five years or less of service with Air Canada, and eight per cent for those who have worked at the airline longer than that.Kimbal Musk on Elon's Tesla pay package: 'My brother deserves to be paid'

It's been a dramatic and unprecedented week in American legal and political history, as former President Donald Trump once again dominates headlines with a whirlwind of court activity from coast to coast. The biggest shock came just days ago from New York's appellate court. After months of intense proceedings, this court tossed out the staggering $454 million civil fraud judgment that had loomed over Trump, his family, and his key business associates. Only a year ago, Judge Arthur Engoron had found that the Trump Organization engaged in repeated business fraud—everything from wildly inflating the square footage of Trump's Manhattan penthouse, to overvaluing Mar-a-Lago by listing it as a private family home instead of a social club. In scathing language, Engoron accused Trump and his team of showing “a complete lack of contrition and remorse,” insisting that the evidence of asset inflation by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump “leap off the page and shock the conscience.” Trump, for his part, railed against what he called a politically motivated attack, declaring himself “an innocent man” during a fiery closing statement last year and insisting that New York Attorney General Letitia James was motivated by political ambition.But this week, that enormous financial threat disappeared in a legal instant, as the appeals court found critical fault with the earlier decision and threw it out. Trump quickly celebrated the turnabout, telling supporters and reporters, “They stole $550 million from me with a fake case—and it was overturned. They said this was a fake case.” Yet, the court left in place some restrictions on Trump's business leadership, reminding everyone that the legal saga isn't truly over.The twists don't end in New York. On the federal front, the story of Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election continues to evolve. The criminal case, once overseen by Special Counsel Jack Smith, had charged Trump with conspiracy to overturn his defeat and for actions leading up to the January 6th Capitol riots. The case set a historical precedent: never before had a former president faced criminal indictment for acts committed in office. Battles over legal immunity wound up before the U.S. Supreme Court, which in July 2024 ruled that former presidents do enjoy “some immunity” for official acts. In a practical sense, this suggested that prosecuting a president—current or former—would always be a labyrinthine challenge.Then, as 2024 drew to a close and Trump secured re-election, Jack Smith dropped the prosecution, citing presidential immunity for a sitting president. Smith's final report left no doubt, though—the evidence, he argued, would have warranted conviction if the case could proceed. Meanwhile, in the Georgia election interference case, the prosecution found itself mired in controversy when Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified due to personal entanglements, while Trump continues to face counts that legal observers admit may languish unresolved during his new term.Out west, a quieter but significant university lawsuit against Trump presses on, with hearings and deadlines marking the calendar, but these cases remain largely on the periphery compared to the headline-grabbing criminal and civil actions swirling around Donald Trump.I want to thank you all for tuning in—this has been a whirlwind of courtrooms, controversy, and history in the making.

Remember all that "AI is gonna change everything" nonsense the kids were screaming about just a few months ago? Yeah, about that. It turns out 95% of corporate generative AI pilots are, to use a technical term, completely shitting the bed, according to a report from MIT. This shocking revelation has sent Wall Street into a tizzy, wiping trillions off the market as investors suddenly realize they've been sold another bill of goods. Even Sam Altman, the high priest of the AI cult, is now trying to pump the brakes, warning that maybe, just maybe, everyone got a little too excited. Meta, never one to miss a bandwagon it can immediately fall off of, has slammed the brakes on its AI spending and hiring. It's almost like we've seen this movie before, with NFTs, crypto, and every other tech bubble that was supposed to make us all billionaires while we sat on our couches.As if the AI-pocalypse wasn't entertaining enough, the next brilliant idea from Silicon Valley, "agentic AI" browsers, has proven to be dumber than a bag of hammers, happily handing over banking details to obvious phishing scams. Meanwhile, in the land of aging tech bros, Elon Musk is getting his butt handed to him in court by Media Matters, proving that you can't just bully everyone into submission. Not to be outdone in the corporate greed department, Volkswagen wants you to pay a subscription to unlock the horsepower you already own, and Robinhood is trying to convince its users that betting on football games is now called "investing." We're just waiting for them to offer a strategic advisory seat to Donald Trump Jr.... oh, wait.Just to put a fine point on our collective slide into oblivion, it turns out Antarctica is melting about six times faster than it was in the 90s, no doubt powered by the massive natural gas plants being built to run Meta's useless chatbots. But hey, at least we can distract ourselves with new toys! The Flipper Zero, that handy little hacker gadget, can now be upgraded to steal a wide variety of cars, bringing grand theft auto to the masses. So as the sea levels rise and the robots fail, at least we'll have new and exciting ways to commit felonies.

Story of the Week (DR):Trump Demands Intel CEO's Resignation, Says He's ‘Highly CONFLICTED' AND Eric and Donald Trump Jr. to Own Millions of Shares in New U.S. Manufacturing SPAC MMESG Analyst Tom Cotton: Trump's attack, posted on Truth Social Thursday, came two days after GOP Sen. Tom Cotton flagged Tan's prior investments in Chinese companies and his previous leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling its tech to a blacklisted military university in China.Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (~$70M golden hello in March; max potential $400M) directly addressed employees on Thursday after Donald Trump demanded his resignation over national security concerns, saying he has the full support of the board.Tan set up a venture firm called Walden International based in San Francisco that pumped more than $5 billion into over 600 companies. More than 100 of those investments were made in China, including deals with once-obscure startups such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.—today China's largest chipmaker—where he served on the board for a decade and a half.Today, the executive is still chairman of Walden International. And he's the founding managing partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures, which focuses on investments in the U.S., Europe and Israel. He also serves in that role at another venture fund, Celesta Global Capital.Tan stepped out of the venture world and joined the chip industry full-time when he became interim head of San Jose, California-based Cadence Design Systems Inc. in 2008. The executive, who had previously served on the board, went on to take the permanent CEO job the next year. He stayed in the role until 2021, when he transitioned to executive chairman, and is widely credited with restoring the company's fortunes. In late July of this year, the Department of Justice announced a plea deal that cost Cadence more than $100 million in fines. Employees at Cadence's China unit allegedly hid the name of a customer—the National University of Defense Technology—from internal compliance in order to keep supplying it. That organization had been put on the Department of Commerce's blacklist in 2015. The Chinese university was one of a group of supercomputer operators there that had conducted simulations of nuclear explosions, the DOJ said.Shares of American Eagle surge 20% after Trump calls Sydney Sweeney campaign 'hottest ad out there' AND Epstein victims are a growing political threat to TrumpThe Fall 2025 campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," centers on a deliberate pun between "jeans" and "genes.""Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color... My jeans are blue."All the hallmarks of a dick-tatorship:American Eagle gender influence gap is -36%: Jay L. SchottensteinMr. Schottenstein has served as our Chief Executive Officer since December 2015. Prior thereto, he served as our Interim Chief Executive Officer from January 2014 to December 2015. He has served as Chairman of the Board since March 1992. He previously served the Company as Chief Executive Officer from March 1992 until December 2002 and as a Vice President and Director of the Company's predecessors since 1980Creepy nepobaby son: The grown son of an Ohio billionaire is a hooker-loving drug addict who threatened to destroy the renowned Manhattan psychiatrist his parents enlisted to help him, according to bombshell court papers. Dr. Paul Conti, a Stanford-educated psychiatrist from Oregon, alleges in a federal suit that the son also gambled away millions of dollars during trips to Las Vegas while running up credit bills and borrowing money from mobsters.SB360 Capital Partners: owned by Jay and his 3 sons (sorry wife): 13 listed executes: all white menlast time there was a vote on Jay (2023)CEO/Chair control: has been CEO 3 times; chair since 1992; $300k security; 2,011:1 ceo pay ratio; 7% of shares (passive BlackRock/Vanguard/Dimensional/Wellington: 41%; 71% board influenceAudit Committee Chair (which net 20 times last year) and Lead independent Director Noel Spiegel is 77 and over a decade of serviceNominating chair Janice Page is 76 and has served for over 2 decadesCompensation Committee chair has served for nearly 2 decadesUber's Sexual Assault Problem AND Uber beats on revenue, announces $20 billion stock buybackA recent New York Times investigation revealed that Uber has been dealing with a significant sexual assault problem. From 2017 to 2022, the company received over 400,000 reports of sexual assault or misconduct in the United States, which averages to about one incident every eight minutes.The investigation, based on thousands of internal documents, found that while Uber studied the issue and even developed potential safety features like in-car cameras and a feature to match female drivers with female passengers, the company chose not to implement these safeguards because they were concerned about their bottom line and potential lawsuits.Tesla Grants Musk $29 Billion in Stock to Keep ‘Elon's Energies Focused' AND Elon Musk Accused of Stiffing Small Businesses for Millions of Dollars, Causing Some to File for Bankruptcy AND Elon Musk Shares Shockingly Sexist Tweet About Woman Being Property. This one's disgraceful, even for Musk AND "This Will Open the Floodgates": Tesla In Trouble as Jury Orders It to Pay $329 Million After Autopilot Death AND Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash AND Elon Musk Appears to Now Be the Most Hated Person in America, According to New ResearchGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Waste from Ben & Jerry's ice cream factories is now powering the Vermont gridNow that the ice cream waste can travel by pipe to become biogas, Ben & Jerry's can also make 600 fewer truck journeys a year, reducing the company's carbon emissions.DR: Gates Foundation is giving $2.5 billion to fund women's health research MM: Musk, Bezos, and Zuck are going full alpha male. America's girlbosses are fed up.When companies won't offer work-from-home policies or the flexibility that working parents need, it can embolden people to become more entrepreneurial and build under their own terms.This is the greatest backlash - if every woman in a “masculine default”, “founder mode” 13 year old man baby culture where “Jamie Dimon says” and John Stankey (see assholiest) says “maybe you don't fit” goes and founds there own firms, I'm giddy to see them wipe the floor with those smug billionaire assholes. Side note - I missed this quote from January FT article in the post-Zuck-on-Rogan “masculine energy” interview, but it would have been assholiest of the decade:“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard' and ‘pussy' without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it's a new dawn.”MM: In that vein - A long-running anti-DEI lawsuit could help companies defend themselves from reverse-racism claims DR MMHello Alice as goodliest of the week - take down that fucknut Stephen Miller and his fake Nazi manboys.Assholiest of the Week (MM):Alex Karp and the men who go to elite universities and say elite universities are bullshit manbabiesPalantir CEO says working at his $430 billion software company is better than a degree from Harvard or Yale: ‘No one cares about the other stuff'Karp went to Haverford, then Stanford for a JD where he met Peter Thiel (who also doesn't like elite education)This past spring, the company also notably established the Meritocracy Fellowship, a four-month, paid internship for high school graduates who may be having second thoughts about higher education. Program admission is solely based on “merit and academic excellence,” but applicants still need Ivy League-level test scores to qualify. This includes at least a 1460 on the SAT or a 33 on the ACT, which are both above their respective 98th percentiles.According to Karp, the internship was created in direct response to the “shortcomings of university admissions.”Here's the problem: there ARE shortcomings to elite colleges, mostly that they exude exclusivism and a commodity - but it's still a pretty rich for a guy who WENT to Stanford where he met his future funder and mentor to talk about how bullshit it wasJohn Stankey and the re-rise of the Jack Welch man-directive manbabies MMIt is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T. While this is reassuring, especially considering the amount of change we've navigated as a company recently, it wasn't a surprise to me that we fell short of our engagement goal.TRANSLATION: I'm not surprised so many of you think we suck, I've been here 5 years as CEO and I'm not awesome at my job… but hold your breath while I tell you how it's your faultThis note may also help you identify areas where your professional expectations might be misaligned with the strategic direction of this company.TRANSLATION: It's your faultI understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an "employment deal" rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits. We have consciously shifted away from some of these elements and towards a more market-based culture — focused on rewarding capability, contribution, and commitment.TRANSLATION: Fuck your job, this is a meritocracy now. A manly meritocracy.I understand that many may find the demands of your daily lives challenging and difficult. Elder care, job stress, child rearing challenges, economic uncertainty, community unrest, technology anxiety — the list can get long…We run a dynamic, customer-facing business, tackling large-scale, challenging initiatives. If the requirements dictated by this dynamic do not align to your personal desires, you have every right to find a career opportunity that is suitable to your aspirations and needs. That said, if a self-directed, virtual, or hybrid work schedule is essential for you to manage your career aspirations and life challenges, you will have a difficult time aligning your priorities with those of the company and the culture we aim to establish.TRANSLATION: We know your life is hard, but shut the fuck up about it because I don't care.WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS BOARD?Here are the “go hard or go home” board membersBill Kennard, lead "independent" director connected in 13 loops to other directors, been there for 11 years, who got his undergrad in communications from Stanford and worked at the FCC and was an ambassador - proving once again that “communications” isn't a qualification for communicating?Marissa Mayer - maybe this business thing isn't for you? Mike Mcallister, ex Humana CEO, who was investigated for duping elderly into thinking Obamacare's passage would cut Medicare?Scott Ford, who lead the biggest landline company before pivoting to selling coffee, as your bright star into the future of tech?That's where the board is - unqualified for the moment, highly interconnected, with long careers of average performanceLuis von Ahn and the tech bro “sorry, not sorry” we were just “being edgy” no but seriously I know what's best for you secretly manbabiesDuolingo's CEO says he learned a hard lesson about 'edgy posts' and going viralFirst, says Duolingo, the app for learning languages, would be “AI-first”Then says they're not hiring anymore as long as it can be done by AIThen says schools will really just be childcare with AI teachers, and teachers will just “take care of the children” and you need schools for the “childcare”In his apology, he said sorry for being “edgy”Yes, it was the edginess, not the assholeryIf you want to quickly identify a manbaby, it's easy: first they “say” something they really think, then their apology basically is “sorry you didn't get it, I won't say it again”Headliniest of the WeekDR: Shareholders Judge Directors by Their Faces, Study FindsMM: Trump calls for Intel CEO to 'resign immediately'More ESG analysis:Boeing's ex-CFOBlackRock's ex founderThe former CEO at Jack Dorsey's SquareA partner at SequoiaA Princeton professorThe former CEO of HPThe chair who's a VC and has been there since 2009Who Won the Week?DR: Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for calling out the billionaire Kraft family regarding the new stadium proposed for the New England Revolution: “We haven't asked for anything out of the ordinary for any significant development, much less a mega-development like this one … To this day, the Kraft Group has provided the city no meaningful technical information … What we've heard has stayed at a conceptual level that is insufficient for any serious negotiation.Citing the proposed figure of $750,000 that the Kraft Group would pay to Boston as a mitigation fee, Wu said, “It is an unserious proposal … the figure is “just 1.1 percent of the $68 million mitigation package that was paid for the Everett casino project right nearby years ago.”Wu, who as the incumbent is also campaigning against Josh Kraft (son of Revolution owner Robert Kraft) in Boston's mayoral race, didn't miss a chance to land a political dig at her opponent: Referencing the proposed mitigation fee, she said that “$750,000 is just one-and-a-half month's of a billionaire son's allowance. It is nowhere near the scale of what we need to address the plans that have already been laid out by our residents, with our traffic engineers, with the coordination of the entire region.”MM: Jamie Smith at EY for writing the only other 2025 US proxy review that included a whole section on director votesPredictionsDR: Trump tries to fit into a pair of Sydney Sweeney's jeans (re: the OJ glove) to prove he did not know Epstein. The American Eagle stock surgesMM: Duolingo releases a new language choice, “Manbro”, in which it teaches how to apologize, how to be more intense, and why you should bow to your AI overlords

Rich Lowry, Editor-In-Chief of National Review, joins Sid to talk about President Donald Trump's potential involvement in the 2025 New York City mayoral race. They discuss the political risks of candidates publicly aligning with Trump in a heavily Democratic city, suggesting it could backfire despite candidates privately seeking his support. They criticize Mayor Eric Adams's chances of re-election, calling him politically isolated and ineffective. The discussion also touches on Trump's influence over the GOP's 2028 presidential race, speculation about possible successors like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Laura Trump, and even Donald Trump Jr. Lowry describes Trump as acting like the "governor of America," brokering big economic deals like the $600B Apple investment. While Lowry isn't fully "MAGA," he acknowledges Trump's effectiveness and enduring influence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's Big Stuff is a Monday through Friday newsletter for progressive Americans who want to save their democracy while making fun of people like Donald Trump Jr. and Lauren Boebert who might actually be the same, really dumb person. . Today's Big Stuff (TBS) was founded in early 2019 by “Ready for Hillary” creator and Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko and former White House correspondent and veteran campaign reporter Sam Youngman. What started as a small clip service for six people, quickly expanded as thousands of stressed out Americans searched for a news source that tells it how it is — with lots of sick jokes and cuss words. In 2020, the more than 75,000 members of the Big Stuff community — also known as Sexy Patriots and Big Stufferinoes — mobilized along with 81 million other Americans to send Donald Trump crying back to Mar-a-Lago leaving a trail of urine along the way. And we're just getting started. If laughter is the best medicine, then TBS is like an injection of bleach right to the fucking face.

In the wake of the political assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, prominent right-wing figures moved quickly to assign blame. Utah Sen. Mike Lee pinned the killings on “Marxism.” Elon Musk pointed to the “far left.” Donald Trump Jr., the president's son, said it “seems to be a leftist.”But the facts quickly told a different story: The suspect, 57-year-old Vance Boelter is a Trump supporter who held radical anti-abortion views. “There's an entire right-wing media machine aimed at pushing disinformation around breaking news events and specifically attributing violence to the left,” says Taylor Lorenz, independent journalist and author of “Extremely Online: The Untold Story of Fame, Influence, and Power on the Internet.” “You see this over and over and over again, no matter who is perpetrating the violence.” “The reality is that the vast overwhelming majority of political violence in recent years has come from the right,” adds Akela Lacy, The Intercept's senior politics reporter. “It basically treats that fact as if it's not real, as if it doesn't exist,” she says — a dynamic that then fails to address the root causes.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jordan Uhl talks with Lorenz and Lacy about how online disinformation is distorting public understanding of major events — from political violence to immigration to potential war with Iran. In this chaos-driven ecosystem, the right — and Trump especially — know how to thrive.You can hear the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.
