Tucker Carlson declared he'd never support the Republican Party, then effectively endorsed JD Vance with Alex Jones just 24 hours later. The panel dissects his motives, his obsession with Israel, his promotion of Nick Fuentes, and his possible presidential ambitions, while questioning whether he's been a registered Democrat since 2006.

Patrick Bet-David reads from the Google-A24 deal announcement: Google's DeepMind unit is partnering with A24 — the studio behind Backrooms and Everything Everywhere All at Once — to develop new AI production and distribution tools in a multi-year non-exclusive agreement. [1] — Elon Lekakou "Google is investing $75M in A24 as part of an AI research partnership with DeepMind. The panel agrees this isn't really about films — it's …" 1:07:40 Elon Lekakou calls the choice of A24 smart, noting the studio is respected for high-quality, risk-taking filmmaking and that normalizing AI through them is a credible entry point. He predicts that within three years, major productions will be AI-first, with $7M films replacing what used to require $100M budgets. Tom Ellsworth provides additional context on A24 partner Scott Belsky — author of The Messy Middle and founder of Behance — arguing the partnership is fundamentally about tools, not content. Jeff Snyder draws a parallel to how social media unlocked podcasts and news creators, suggesting AI could do the same for independent filmmakers. Disney's aborted OpenAI partnership and Netflix's AI startup acquisition are cited as evidence that Hollywood is still fumbling toward adoption.
Google is investing $75M in A24 as part of an AI research partnership with DeepMind. The panel agrees this isn't really about films — it's about building tools. AI can now enable a $7M movie that used to cost $100M, and within 3 years major productions will be AI-first.
Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
