The SAVE Act requires proof of identity to vote and proof of citizenship to register — and Kennedy says 80% of Americans support it, but not a single Democrat will vote for it. He pairs it with a demand to return to a single election night rather than a month-long counting process, arguing that drawn-out counts guarantee that every loser believes the election was rigged.

Kennedy moves from the public debate to what he's actually seen. In the Senate's underground SCIF — a room where all electronics are surrendered before classified briefings — Kennedy was briefed by Secretary Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary Hadseth, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. The intelligence, he says, showed Iran was amassing ballistic and cruise missiles at a pace designed to give it the ability to threaten a restart of its nuclear weapons program with impunity: 'We're restarting our nuclear weapons program, and if you try to stop us, we'll destroy the rest of the Middle East — and by the way, our missiles can now reach London and Paris.' Trump faced a binary choice: allow Iran to reach that threshold, or strike. He struck. Kennedy says the aftermath left large swaths of Iran looking 'like something out of Mad Max 4,' with the public and much of the private sector destroyed. 'Our military ate them and spit out the bones.' Iran still has centrifuges capable of producing weapons-grade fissile material, but it is not currently a nuclear threat.

Kennedy has been briefed in the Senate SCIF by Rubio, Hadseth, the CIA, and the Joint Chiefs. The intelligence showed Iran was building enough ballistic and cruise missiles to threaten London, Paris, and eventually the U.S. — and would restart its nuclear program with impunity. Trump's decision to strike was a response to a real, documented threat.
Kennedy claims approximately 80% of Americans support the SAVE Act requiring voter ID and proof of citizenship to register, yet it cannot get a single Democratic vote in the Senate.
Fei-Fei Li went back to Stanford from Google in 2018 specifically to build a multi-stakeholder governance framework for AI. Her argument: market forces are not societal norms. Just as biology uses IRBs and cars have safety laws, AI needs layered oversight from educators, governments, and the public — not just a few industry titans.
Andrew Santino's personal MCU of political villains is collapsing. He and Bobby speculated that a circulating photo of Mitch McConnell with a Chinese official was AI-generated compositing two separate images.
Mass surveillance is here to stay. The real battle isn't stopping cameras — it's ensuring judges and laws keep that data out of family court and civil disputes, admitting it only for violent crimes and national security. The surveillance economy currently yields more upside than downside, but only if we build the legal guardrails now.
When people cite Scandinavia as proof socialism works, Galloway says they've got it backwards. Northern Europe runs highly competitive free-market economies with more competition in many sectors than the US — they just make sure taxes are actually paid and redistributed. Billionaires and universal healthcare can coexist.
Two percent adjustments to income tax and stamp duty tweaks are deck-chair rearrangements. The UK's competitiveness hinges on four structural levers: currency valuation, energy costs, regulatory burden, and tax rates. Devalue the pound, build 56 nuclear plants, slash red tape, introduce a flat tax — and the country transforms.
Lisbon had one of Europe's worst heroin crises. Then Portugal legalised drugs and redirected all enforcement money into rehabilitation and housing. Crime collapsed. Addiction fell. Then politics moved the money elsewhere, and the problem started creeping back. Chesterton's Fence: you forget why you were spending that money.
Congress passed the Boland Amendment 411 to 0, explicitly banning CIA and Defense Department funds for the Contras. Reagan signed it — then immediately moved the operation deeper underground, essentially responding to a bipartisan prohibition by going more illegal.
The CIA planted mines in Nicaraguan commercial harbors, wrote the Contras' press releases taking credit, and promptly blew up ships from four allied nations. The Wall Street Journal broke the story, Congress erupted, and the Boland Amendments multiplied.
Oliver North was a decorated Marine and devout Catholic with zero covert operations experience. He ran the entire shadow war against Congress — planes, airstrips, arms shipments, shell companies — learning on the job. And by every operational measure, he crushed it.
