| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the future, everybody. Open AI has dropped its O3 model. |
| 0:04.0 | Tesla's latest robot flex is hard on Hoover. |
| 0:07.0 | China freaks me out with more drones, a lot more, |
| 0:11.0 | and Eric Weinstein fires a warning shot at the government |
| 0:14.0 | for lying an incompetence around the drones over Jersey. |
| 0:18.0 | Plus, no more tampons in the men's room at Meta. And watch to the end because |
| 0:22.9 | this child-free loudmouth is going to pop off about bad parenting. You won't want to miss a chance |
| 0:28.4 | to flame me in the comments. Drew, it is off to a start today. First, we wanted to cover some |
| 0:34.9 | information coming out of D.C. There's been a lot of misinformation. You're talking about the crash? The plane crash, yeah. So all this is alleged. We're still kind of gathering information. Again, I know there was kids and things involved with this plane, so we're not here to call speculation or anything like that. We're just covering this. But Nick Sorter retweeted this video and said 24 hours before an American air light flight collided |
| 0:55.7 | with the Black Hawk. That's what we were talking about. Another American flight had to do a last |
| 1:00.5 | minute like course alteration. And you can see by the satellite video, he was about to land, |
| 1:05.0 | turned around and looped around. And that's the exact place where the crash happened. |
| 1:08.6 | So we're starting to speculate that this isn't a one-time thing. This is just a one-time, the worst-case scenario happened. They're running in the red already for reasons that we don't yet know. Obviously, we're well aware of the speculation that's happening on X. Not going to join in that until we get some sort of investigation as to what actually happened. And then we'll come back to it and see what's up. |
| 1:28.2 | We'll get an update. |
| 1:28.9 | Very, very interesting. But there was, I'm going to take it. You know me, I like to push the limits a little bit. We're going to hit Truth Social. And you know, that's a very interesting rabbit hole to go under. And Trump retweeted, this is one reason why our country was going to hell. And he's retweeting both Elon Musk tweet about the |
| 1:45.0 | Biden and FAA administration that was there before him. He actually said this is why our country |
| 1:50.6 | was going to hell. I thought you were paraphrasing. Okay. President of our country. President of |
| 1:57.2 | country. He retweeted a couple posts for the New York pose, and this is everything highlighting the FAA diversity push all the way to highlighting people who are cognitively different. So I just wanted to kind of take a step back because it seems like there's this nuance where people talk about DEI and it's kind of like code for other people. |
| 2:17.9 | It's code for people of color. |
| 2:19.2 | It's code for women. |
| 2:20.3 | A couple years ago, it was CRT. |
| 2:22.5 | It was woke. |
