  Welcome to Preston Super Show, thank you for joining me.
• 0:17
  Thank you for being here. This is Super news #48 and there
• 0:24
  are over 300 episodes of Preston Super Show across all podcast
• 0:31
  platforms. Thank you for listening.
• 0:36
  I love to start off with good news.
• 0:39
  There have been 100 people rescued in the floods in Texas
• 0:46
  and Kerr County from that Mission Mystic camp and it's
• 0:52
  being reported that there are only three people remaining to
• 0:56
  be found. All 100 of these people that
• 1:00
  were missing were found safe. Glory to God, ladies and
• 1:06
  gentlemen, That's a beautiful thing.
• 1:09
  Now, who are these people that all of a sudden today woke up,
• 1:15
  rolled out of bed and they're on the Internet now taking up all
• 1:22
  of Facebook and acts saying Obama's going to go to jail for
• 1:28
  treason and the people around him are going down for treason.
• 1:35
  But I've yet to see any charges be filed.
• 1:40
  I've yet to see any cuffs be slapped on anybody's wrist.
• 1:46
  And as this week goes along, I'm not going to be playing along
• 1:51
  with any charades. OK, That's not happening here.
• 1:55
  So either press charges or slap some cuffs on and press some
• 2:03
  charges. But at the end of the day, what
• 2:08
  are you doing? Tulsi Gabbard puts this
• 2:11
  information out that says there in fact was a coordinated effort
• 2:18
  led by the former president to stop the current President Trump
• 2:25
  from being in office through rigging the election.
• 2:32
  So they were looking to rigged the election.
• 2:35
  They were looking to sway the 2016 election to stop Trump from
• 2:39
  winning. OK, so that's good.
• 2:41
  You can present that information.
• 2:44
  That's awesome that the head of DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, 7 months in,
• 2:53
  can turn over this information right when the Epstein file
• 2:56
  controversy is going on, by the way.
• 3:00
  And now we need to switch gears and let's all focus our
• 3:04
  attention on another nothing burger.
• 3:07
  It's an absolute nothing burger. No one's going down for
• 3:13
  anything. I don't see it happening.
• 3:15
  This is going to Pam Bondi's desk.
• 3:18
  OK. And then what?
• 3:23
  It gets lost. You know, I'm kind of sick of
• 3:27
  this. Oh, Pam Bondi's going to do it.
• 3:30
  No, she's taken care of a whole host of other issues also, and
• 3:37
  she's going to stop on a dime, pick up this collusion paper,
• 3:45
  drive out to Obama's residence there, and start an
• 3:51
  investigation. I doubt it.
• 3:53
  I think the most you see out of this is a grand distraction from
• 4:00
  the terrible job numbers that are about to come in and from
• 4:04
  the rest of the kind of downside of the economy.
• 4:08
  That's about the shape at the end of this month here.
• 4:13
  But on the positive note, yes, the tariffs are correcting a lot
• 4:18
  of those long term problems. But in the short term,
• 4:24
  everybody's still kind of in a free for all.
• 4:26
  Everybody's still in a little bit of our free fall, to be
• 4:30
  honest. We're not seeing people's take
• 4:35
  home pay go up because everything they've done was in
• 4:42
  that big beautiful bill to bolster your tax return.
• 4:47
  So now everybody's hoping they're going to get a good tax
• 4:50
  return. Well, you can't really promise a
• 4:55
  good tax return. How do you know until it's tax
• 4:57
  time? So in the meantime, there's a
• 5:02
  squeeze on the economy right now and you'd be a fool not to see
• 5:07
  it. And like I said, I'm sick of the
• 5:10
  charades. I'm not playing party politics,
• 5:14
  I'm playing ground level politics.
• 5:18
  It's a new ball game, you see, while everybody else is caught
• 5:24
  up in mega. And I love Mega.
• 5:27
  While everybody else is caught up in trying to find the
• 5:31
  candidate for 2028, how about the candidates for 2026?
• 5:37
  You see, the Illinois Republican Party should be out there right
• 5:42
  now promoting their candidate right now, setting things up
• 5:48
  right now. Instead, they're waiting.
• 5:52
  They're doing what they did last time.
• 5:55
  This is just a repeat of what they did last time.
• 5:59
  I'd like Joe Severino, but to be honest with you, he's really
• 6:04
  going to have to step his game up as far as communicating his
• 6:08
  message. I don't really see anybody else
• 6:14
  in the field who wants to be governor of Illinois.
• 6:19
  Pritzker does, and his running mate, the guy he picked, looks
• 6:23
  like he just came out of Community College.
• 6:27
  So I don't know what to tell you about that.
• 6:28
  But I see the Republicans already falling behind.
• 6:31
  And I don't like that it would be so easy on the state level if
• 6:38
  they would just come together and put a person, a candidate up
• 6:42
  or get behind Joseph Severino. So we'll see what happens
• 6:47
  because with all due respect, if they try to run that cop or the
• 6:53
  sheriff, that's going to fail. Anytime a cop tries to run for
• 6:58
  office in Illinois, they lose. That's not going to change now.
• 7:05
  So I do like Joseph Severino, but they have to figure out who
• 7:11
  it's going to be because the sooner they figure that out, or
• 7:16
  at least have some indicators, then that will go a long way.
• 7:22
  But someone tell these idiot morons on Acts and Facebook that
• 7:29
  Obama's not going to jail. Nobody's going to jail over this
• 7:34
  Russia collusion phony dossier. We know the dossier was phony
• 7:40
  the whole time they were on TV. Oh, we're going to get them.
• 7:45
  Oh, this is the big one right here.
• 7:47
  Wait till we reel this in. It was like watching the damn
• 7:51
  fishing channel. I was like, there's no way.
• 7:54
  They're never going to get who they think they're going to get.
• 7:57
  They're going to get some small fish.
• 8:00
  That's the bad guy. Well, I've seen this movie 100
• 8:04
  times, and I moved on for those four years of Biden.
• 8:08
  Imagine doing politics while Biden as president.
• 8:14
  Oh my gosh, that's like a curse. That's like being cursed.
• 8:17
  And now all of a sudden they roll out of bed and here's the
• 8:23
  media. They have all the answers now.
• 8:25
  Oh, Yep, everything's bright and sunny.
• 8:28
  The stock market has been pumping.
• 8:31
  And I give President Trump a lot of credit for that.
• 8:34
  He's brought enthusiasm back in the country.
• 8:37
  He's got people excited again. He's got people wanting to hire
• 8:41
  again, companies ready to go out, find new applicants.
• 8:46
  But Biden did a lot of damage at four years, a very ineffective
• 8:50
  president, a lot of wasted time. Those were four important years.
• 8:57
  I don't think people understand how important those four years
• 9:00
  were. They were crucial to rebuilding
• 9:04
  a lot of what was broken from COVID.
• 9:08
  And a lot of people said, well, it's been a long time since
• 9:09
  COVID, Yeah. But the rebuild was absolutely
• 9:13
  terrible. And now it's like we're building
• 9:18
  from scratch in a lot of ways, but at least we're doing the
• 9:23
  right things energy wise. And I give President Trump a lot
• 9:28
  of credit for that, along with Secretary Wright.
• 9:33
  And then comes Radiant, which is developing Kalidos, which is
• 9:40
  looking to replace diesel generators, four data centers
• 9:46
  and also large scale businesses. Kaleidos is a high temperature
• 9:56
  gas cooled reactor designed to produce 1.2 megawatts of
• 10:04
  electricity. It would run for five years or a
• 10:08
  little bit longer, depending on the need, right, the
• 10:13
  consumption. And then it would need to be
• 10:16
  refueled Nets, statistics from the Department of Energy.
• 10:23
  So everything on a large scale is moving toward portable
• 10:31
  nuclear, small nuclear reactors with giant systems to run on
• 10:40
  now. Tulsi Gabbard, the head of DNI,
• 10:45
  she says that she's going to release more documents about
• 10:49
  this cover up that went on with the CIA and the FBI, as well as
• 10:55
  other nefarious spy organizations that have been
• 11:00
  suppressing this information where basically they're alluding
• 11:05
  and alleging that Obama orchestrated the the Russia
• 11:10
  collusion hoax and also tried to interfere in the 2016 elections.
• 11:18
  So this is where my thinking goes.
• 11:24
  There's only really one person in my mind that you could maybe
• 11:31
  lock up for this. That's a big name.
• 11:34
  They're smaller name people that we won't know that we're behind
• 11:39
  this, that we're moving the strings more like on the ground
• 11:43
  level. They're going to be caught red
• 11:45
  handed if all of this turns out to be true.
• 11:48
  But there's really only one person because Obama has
• 11:52
  immunity because of being the president.
• 11:55
  But there's only one person that I think they could actually
• 12:01
  prosecute, and that would be the former attorney general Merrick
• 12:05
  Garland. And the reason I say that is
• 12:10
  because if you just walk with me here, let's just walk for a
• 12:15
  moment. He wanted to be on the Supreme
• 12:19
  Court. The Republicans would not give
• 12:21
  him a vote, not even a chance. So then he's nullified from
• 12:29
  going on the Supreme Court. After that, he becomes the
• 12:37
  attorney general, and this is where it gets weird because you
• 12:42
  remember the IRS targeting the conservatives around that time.
• 12:47
  You also remember he's the attorney General.
• 12:52
  So his power, in a way, could be used to do something like this
• 13:03
  or help facilitate this type of voter suppression.
• 13:09
  So I think there's really nothing concrete until more
• 13:12
  evidence comes out. But the only person that the
• 13:16
  Republicans could potentially prosecute that has a big name
• 13:20
  that people would know would be Merrick Garland, because I don't
• 13:24
  see Obama going down for anything.
• 13:28
  And this becomes a little bit of a blur, I think, for a lot of
• 13:33
  mainstream Republicans who are caught up in the day-to-day
• 13:36
  politics and aren't stepping back once in a while and kind of
• 13:40
  examining the whole picture and the whole scope.
• 13:43
  How did we get here? If you understand how we got
• 13:46
  here, you almost know what's coming next.
• 13:51
  So the former attorney general Merrick Garland denied the
• 13:56
  Supreme Court by the Republicans.
• 14:00
  Basically, you're made a mockery at that point.
• 14:03
  You're, you've been mocked in a way.
• 14:07
  So you can't tell me he wasn't a little bit mad about that, a
• 14:09
  little bit frustrated about that.
• 14:10
  So then he's the attorney general up until January 20th.
• 14:18
  Then Pamboni comes in, in that time from when President Trump
• 14:24
  won the election in November up until January 20th.
• 14:31
  I'd like to know what happened during that period.
• 14:35
  I would like the documents and whatever lawsuits were going on,
• 14:40
  whatever prosecutions they were on top of.
• 14:42
  I'd like to know what those were.
• 14:45
  What did those detail? I think you'll find a lot of
• 14:49
  your answers if you start looking at Merrick Garland, the
• 14:55
  former attorney general. But again, it goes back to my
• 14:58
  point, understand how we got here.
• 15:03
  We can go way back. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was on
• 15:08
  top of all of the spy rings, right?
• 15:12
  There's a good documentary on the Military Channel and says he
• 15:16
  played the game better than anyone.
• 15:19
  I think it's fair to say that most of the New Deal that FDR
• 15:25
  would be able to pass through the legislature of the time has
• 15:32
  been an abject failure. We do not have better roads, we
• 15:36
  do not have better bridges, we do not have better highways.
• 15:42
  So what is really to be gained from that great new deal?
• 15:46
  Because when they passed it at that time, they didn't know a
• 15:49
  lot about what was in it. And I think that was the moment
• 15:52
  in history I kind of circle back to when I look at a big,
• 15:56
  beautiful bill or something of that nature.
• 15:59
  When they ran through the Affordable Care Act, gave us
• 16:02
  Obamacare, penalized everybody 80 bucks to start with for not
• 16:07
  having health insurance. You were just scraping by
• 16:10
  anyways. But here's a $80 penalty.
• 16:12
  But that would go up the next two years until they finally got
• 16:16
  that shot down at the Supreme Court.
• 16:20
  But this is the problem with America.
• 16:21
  When we give mandates, they tend to not work out so well.
• 16:27
  This is why individualism is so important in our country.
• 16:31
  And for the people to govern themselves, then that will
• 16:36
  require less oversight, that will require less of a federal
• 16:41
  government, and that will dictate what resources the state
• 16:47
  government needs. That's where we have to move to
• 16:51
  as a society, the individual governing themselves in an
• 16:57
  effective manner and in an efficient way.
• 17:01
  But I am not impressed with this Department of Justice and I am
• 17:06
  not impressed with this FBI. And I believe they have the
• 17:10
  wrong guy running the CIAI definitely believe they have the
• 17:13
  wrong guy running the CIA. He may prove to be harmless, but
• 17:18
  I don't know. I just think he talks too much.
• 17:22
  And the reason I say that is because Tulsi Gabbard was
• 17:26
  handling that Signal chat on front of the Oversight
• 17:31
  Committee. She was handling that very well.
• 17:34
  And then this guy Ratcliffe gets up there and he starts opening
• 17:37
  his mouth, saying things he didn't need to say.
• 17:41
  And it seems like, dude, what are you?
• 17:42
  What are you saying? And then they put him in charge
• 17:45
  of the CIA. Oh, I don't know.
• 17:47
  I don't know about that. I still stand with my original
• 17:50
  statements. Abolish the FBI, abolish the
• 17:54
  CIA. Get rid of these spy rings.
• 17:58
  Convert them to ICE agents and ramp up the deportations and get
• 18:03
  people back to work because just saying, oh, get off the
• 18:07
  sidelines doesn't do anything, doesn't move the needle.
• 18:11
  But I'm done playing ball with it.
• 18:13
  I'm done. I'm over the Dignity Act.
• 18:16
  I'm over these soft amnesty people.
• 18:20
  No amnesty. You get none.
• 18:23
  If you came here the right way, if you did it legally, then
• 18:26
  we're not having any conversation about customs.
• 18:31
  We're having the conversation about ice because there's so
• 18:34
  many people have been abusing our systems.
• 18:38
  And I can explain it in a very easy way that even the world's
• 18:43
  stupidest man could figure out. For instance, if people are
• 18:49
  going to the hospital and they need to go, they need to see
• 18:54
  someone at the front desk, they need to use the facility.
• 18:58
  I mean, we're talking everything from the doors to the floors.
• 19:00
  They're using that, OK? They're using the chair.
• 19:04
  They're using whatever they're in, right?
• 19:06
  They're using the time of the doctor or the nurse that's got
• 19:10
  to see them. And then whatever medicine or
• 19:13
  medication they need, or if they're in an emergency
• 19:17
  situation, whatever it costs for that.
• 19:20
  So here's my point. This is why I premise this this
• 19:24
  way. Understand the need.
• 19:26
  Someone needs the doctor, then you get illegal aliens.
• 19:32
  They need the doctor. They're going to use those doors
• 19:35
  and floors and everything else that goes along with the
• 19:38
  maintenance part of it to the accessibility part of it.
• 19:43
  Now, what about their insurance? I don't know, you tell me.
• 19:47
  We see that over 30,000 are being booted off in Illinois
• 19:51
  from the Medicaid rolls that are illegal aliens after they just
• 19:55
  told us oh the illegal aliens, they can't get Medicaid.
• 20:01
  Oh, the illegal aliens, they can't get the food stamps.
• 20:05
  Oh, the illegal aliens, they'll never get the Medicare.
• 20:09
  Oh no, you guys are wrong. Well, we have conflicting
• 20:14
  information if we're wrong, because right here it says.
• 20:20
  They're kicking them off of Medicaid now because the price
• 20:23
  is skyrocketing. So people who shouldn't be here
• 20:28
  because they're here illegally are running up our systems and
• 20:33
  abusing our services that we all need.
• 20:36
  Our sick and elderly family members and relatives need those
• 20:42
  and our friends that. What about their sick and
• 20:44
  elderly and their family? They need those services and
• 20:48
  they're being run up. The cost is being driven up on
• 20:51
  our roads, on our schools. And you wonder why we can't have
• 20:56
  nice things. And then these people want to
• 20:59
  come out and fight against the deportations.
• 21:02
  Now all of a sudden they have a heart for the illegal.
• 21:05
  He was here 20 years, 20 years, He couldn't get right 20 years.
• 21:13
  You got to be kidding me. That's indefensible.
• 21:17
  Stop it. The Republicans got to get their
• 21:20
  heads out of their asses because this is not going to fly when it
• 21:24
  comes to the midterms. The Democrats don't need
• 21:27
  support. They don't need to have good
• 21:29
  polls. I don't know what they don't
• 21:31
  understand about that. There's always a hidden vote,
• 21:36
  and there's always a nationwide effect.
• 21:40
  Deporting illegal aliens ensures fair elections.
• 21:47
  That's your election integrity. Mass deportations.
• 21:52
  Enough is enough. The Republicans got to toughen
• 21:56
  up, and the last time I checked, it's President Trump that runs
• 22:01
  the country and not his advisors.
• 22:05
  It's not the president and right?
• 22:08
  It's not the president and it's the president only.
• 22:14
  The president dictates the policy.
• 22:18
  Congress passes laws. It's up to the president to sign
• 22:21
  those laws. And this Congress has not passed
• 22:25
  a bill besides maybe the Genius Act and possibly not that they
• 22:31
  would have been able to override the president if he would have
• 22:34
  vetoed it. They're not passing bills with
• 22:37
  any veto power in mind, right? They're not looking to override
• 22:42
  the president. They're hoping the president
• 22:44
  signs whatever they give them. So they have the Anti CBDC Act
• 22:48
  going through the Senate and then the Clarity Act.
• 22:52
  Both of those are important for privacy when you're making
• 22:57
  crypto transactions. So I'd like to see both of those
• 23:01
  get passed this week. It looks like all of August is
• 23:06
  going to be the Senate confirming Trump's judicial
• 23:11
  appointments. He has a few nominees that need
• 23:13
  to be appointed to still. You got Rubio doing 2 jobs.
• 23:19
  So we'll see how that turns out. Right now, I do like the group
• 23:25
  President Trump has close to him.
• 23:27
  I think he's got some some fighters on his team.
• 23:29
  Caroline Leavitt and Stephen Miller, both of them are great
• 23:35
  for the press. They always give you something
• 23:38
  to chew on. Tom Holman as the Borders are, I
• 23:44
  think he's done a fantastic job. I think Trump needs another Tom
• 23:47
  Holman. I think he needs another Tom
• 23:49
  Holman type of guy in there. I think Peter Navarro would be a
• 23:54
  great Treasury Secretary. Once Scott Basent replaces
• 23:58
  Jerome Powell at the Fed, that's coming.
• 24:01
  It's going to happen and Scott Basent at the Federal Reserve
• 24:06
  would do a great job, but I'm for abolishing the Fed.
• 24:11
  Forget a great job, get in there and abolish the damn thing.
• 24:15
  What are you doing? The president should have the
• 24:18
  power to set interest rates. That makes so much more sense.
• 24:23
  He has a whole cabinet to discuss interest rates with.
• 24:27
  He has the top economic advisors in the world.
• 24:30
  What does the Federal Reserve have?
• 24:32
  Amazon Prime on one screen. Little Netflix on the phone.
• 24:39
  Yep, just doing some work. Let me get my order in.
• 24:44
  The conflict in Syria is pretty ugly right now.
• 24:48
  And then Israel really just needs to slow their horses,
• 24:52
  right? Just just slow down, dude.
• 24:56
  It went bombing, some bombing spree.
• 24:59
  They had a church in Gaza, Bibi Netanyahu calls the Pope to
• 25:03
  apologize. And then now today he's got Bibi
• 25:07
  Netanyahu's got food poisoning. All I'm saying is the US labeled
• 25:15
  it as an act of terror. And this is something that I
• 25:20
  feel like was coming, not bombing the church, but an act
• 25:26
  of terror being labeled because Israel's not stopping whatever
• 25:32
  they're doing over there. And I don't know if they're
• 25:35
  trying to ethnic cleanse the area or what have you.
• 25:40
  But the jig is up. You got to stop because the
• 25:45
  world is starting to turn on you.
• 25:48
  And I'm always going to say when your greatest ally, America
• 25:52
  says, hey, it's time to slow your roll, it's a good idea to
• 25:58
  listen. There were three shootings last
• 26:02
  week in Kankakee County, Illinois.
• 26:04
  There are no leads on suspects, but they have found shell
• 26:09
  casings. On a brighter note, Crumble
• 26:13
  Cookie has made it to Kankakee County.
• 26:15
  This is the first one out here. Very cool.
• 26:19
  And when I was talking about the roads out here in Kankakee,
• 26:23
  they're looking for a big investment into the roads
• 26:26
  project because the funds are running out.
• 26:29
  Face it, the money's running short and whatever you want to
• 26:32
  do with the roads, it's probably not going to get done.
• 26:36
  After they did this big deal on Hobby Ave. it took well over a
• 26:40
  year before they completed that Ave. which is very highly
• 26:45
  trafficked, by the way. And you're looking at the roads,
• 26:50
  they're so beat up, they're so bad.
• 26:53
  And all you can think is that's what the lottery money was
• 26:56
  supposed to do. That's what the property tax
• 26:59
  money supposed to be going to. Why is it not?
• 27:04
  And I know this is happening across Illinois from county to
• 27:08
  county where the roads are crumbling.
• 27:11
  So something has to be done. But there is no federal bailout
• 27:15
  coming. Then we see this wacko drive
• 27:19
  through a crowd of people, I don't know the details, but he
• 27:22
  drives to a crowd of people in East Hollywood.
• 27:25
  Injuries. 30 people, 3 critically injured.
• 27:28
  I hope no one dies from this. The driver was shot.
• 27:31
  I don't know what the hell was going on.
• 27:34
  That whole situation sounds topsy turvy.
• 27:36
  Prayers for everyone involved. Now that the doge cuts are in
• 27:40
  effect, $1.1 billion have been stripped from NPR and PBS, and
• 27:48
  they are begging for donations. Well, let's hope the audience
• 27:54
  you've been indoctrinating over there pays up, because if not,
• 28:00
  they're going to have to go find someone else to listen to.
• 28:03
  Paramount is shutting down multiple channels.
• 28:07
  They shut down Nickelodeon and their international markets, and
• 28:11
  they're canceling the Colbert show.
• 28:14
  And that show sucks. Late night TV is garbage.
• 28:18
  It all sucks. I remember when Colbert got his
• 28:21
  start. That was like the last little
• 28:24
  bit of time where late night talk shows were actually
• 28:29
  interesting and they had better guests, too.
• 28:33
  It was more happening with the guests.
• 28:37
  But Colbert would come on the Jon Stewart show, he would do
• 28:42
  his little report, and then he'd be gone.
• 28:46
  But the crowd loved him. They started liking Colbert a
• 28:50
  little bit more than Jon Stewart.
• 28:52
  So they had to give Colbert his own show.
• 28:54
  Then what do you know? They got Trevor Noah.
• 28:57
  They got all the, you know, all these other people.
• 28:58
  No one really worked out. Trevor Noah was probably the
• 29:02
  closest to John what Jon Stewart had.
• 29:06
  But those shows all have writers and they're just trying to sell
• 29:11
  you on misinformation. So Jon Stewart's there trying to
• 29:16
  sell you on misinformation. And I almost feel bad for Jon
• 29:21
  Stewart. What are you doing?
• 29:23
  What is your show even about? Because if it's about comedy,
• 29:29
  then why don't you just do stand up?
• 29:31
  Why not just get some bomb ass Netflix specials going?
• 29:36
  Make your political jokes there because what he's doing on the
• 29:42
  show is boring. What Jon Stewart is doing now is
• 29:47
  no different than the Evening News.
• 29:50
  It is National Ice Cream Day, so go have a scoop.
• 29:55
  And I have a scoop here. Tsunami is going to be debuting
• 29:59
  a big new anime series called Dan de Dan, and that's going to
• 30:07
  air on July 26th on the Toonami block.
• 30:12
  See, I grew up with Toonami, and all of the older people I knew
• 30:17
  at the time, they weren't watching cartoons, but they
• 30:20
  watched Tsunami, they watched anime.
• 30:23
  So Tsunami was always just something that was easy for me
• 30:27
  to watch. At one point it was on in the
• 30:30
  afternoon, then they moved that to late night TV so they could
• 30:34
  air different things. But it's always kept its true
• 30:38
  identity. And I'm a big fan of Tsunami.
• 30:42
  I haven't watched much lately because I've been busy, but I'm
• 30:46
  glad to see that in the event that Cartoon Network does close
• 30:52
  down, it is a possibility that Tsunami would separate itself
• 30:58
  and still operate independently. That's cool to see and I know
• 31:05
  there's enough support for anime to keep it going for years to
• 31:09
  come. And you could just look at Hulu,
• 31:13
  look at all the anime they have. You could look at Netflix, look
• 31:16
  at all the anime on that platform, go over to Toby.
• 31:20
  Jam packed full of anime. Pluto 24/7 anime channels.
• 31:25
  So in one shape or another, Tsunami could end up getting its
• 31:30
  full time permanent channel. That would be a game changer.
• 31:34
  I think it would do better there.
• 31:36
  Now the book publishers are fighting back against AI, saying
• 31:42
  that these AI programs are downloading the books and novels
• 31:50
  without their permission, without author's consent.
• 31:53
  Now that's a problem. And then on top of that, the
• 31:58
  news companies are starting to rally to try to get some
• 32:03
  provisions in place for AI guardrails, meaning that there's
• 32:08
  people just putting stories out, trying to make money off of
• 32:12
  ChatGPT without doing any real work, taking away from
• 32:17
  credentialed and respected writers.
• 32:20
  That's not going to fly. You're talking about people who
• 32:23
  worked hard to get their sources right.
• 32:26
  They won't reveal their sources. Well, with AI, they're revealing
• 32:30
  all the sources. So something does have to be
• 32:33
  done here. But it's called Law 360 and it
• 32:37
  mandates reporters use AI bias detection on all stories.
• 32:42
  If you work for a news company, the Law 360 Union, which
• 32:47
  represents over 200 editorial staffers across the 350 person
• 32:52
  newsrooms, has denounced the mandate since it went into
• 32:57
  effect in mid-May. On June 17th, the unit chair
• 33:02
  Haley Konoff sent a petition to management calling for the tool
• 33:06
  to be made completely voluntary. So stay on the lookout for your
• 33:11
  job and if they're going to be doing anything like this.
• 33:15
  Eurogamer broke a story here. This one is about the age of
• 33:20
  gameplay mechanics has already passed.
• 33:23
  I'm sad to hear that the ICO Shadow of the Colossus director
• 33:31
  says. This is not the day and age
• 33:35
  where we need to offer new mechanics with each and every
• 33:38
  new game. I'm a little bit sad about that.
• 33:41
  I always like to play a game that had a feature or did
• 33:45
  something that was just a little bit different than another game.
• 33:50
  So when Pub G player unknown Battleground, you could lean
• 33:56
  while you're zoomed in, when you're on a tree or on side of a
• 34:00
  building, you could lean and cock your gun sideways while you
• 34:06
  were just standing still. And in a lot of games you can
• 34:12
  lean or move, but you can't turn your gun all the way.
• 34:16
  So I thought there was just simple things like that.
• 34:21
  Little adjustments made it where I would want to play that game
• 34:27
  because I knew I could do a little bit extra, I could put
• 34:30
  myself in a better chance to win.
• 34:32
  That's a very basic example, but it's an example nonetheless.
• 34:37
  The game that changed game mechanics, in my opinion, was a
• 34:43
  little Big Planet. That's where the mechanics and
• 34:49
  functions of the game really stood out.
• 34:52
  God of War, I would say is, well, that's fair to say,
• 34:56
  because to do what you have to do on God of War requires some
• 35:01
  pretty hardcore game mechanics. But also, if you look at Gears
• 35:07
  of War from the first one up until the fifth one, up until
• 35:12
  Reloaded, I mean, you could just tell how much smoother it's
• 35:16
  gotten. Look at the Unreal Engine.
• 35:19
  The Unreal Engine is so powerful, it's still probably
• 35:23
  the best engine in gaming. I do like the Frostbite engine.
• 35:28
  I think it got a serious upgrade, but it's still not the
• 35:32
  Unreal Engine. Let's flip it over to sports.
• 35:37
  Manny Pacquiao versus Mario Berrios ended in a draw.
• 35:42
  I felt like neither guy really pulled the trigger on that
• 35:45
  fight. I think they were both
• 35:47
  comfortable with trying to win on points.
• 35:51
  Sebastian Fundora defeated Tim Ty Zoo once again to retain the
• 35:57
  WBC title. In other boxing news, the three
• 36:02
  time undisputed champ Alexander Usyk knocks out Daniel Dubois.
• 36:08
  Did them dirty. Did them dirty.
• 36:11
  Let's dive into the UFC 318 recap.
• 36:17
  Great 14 fight card from last night, starting with Carly Judas
• 36:22
  defeating Nicole Kaliari by KO/TKO in the third round.
• 36:29
  Carly put on a clinic. She showed that if you can't
• 36:34
  take her down and you try to stand up with her, she's going
• 36:38
  to outstrike you. She is going to be faster and
• 36:42
  more aggressive than you. And the whole time Nicole's
• 36:46
  trying to track down Carly and just walking into the jab,
• 36:51
  walking into the left and right. I mean every combination was
• 36:55
  flowing for Carly in that fight. She was making the women look
• 36:59
  good and Nicole as strong as she is and as durable and talented
• 37:04
  as she is, she was getting pieced up.
• 37:08
  So I was right about that fight. Overall, I went ten and four on
• 37:12
  the night, so both best bets cashed the parlay and the best
• 37:17
  bet itself. The second fight was Bruno
• 37:22
  Ferriera defeating Jackson McVeigh.
• 37:26
  I kind of seen this coming. The only way Jackson McVeigh
• 37:29
  could win is with a submission. It would have to be early.
• 37:33
  He tried for it, ended up getting submitted himself Really
• 37:39
  kind of either knew it was going to be over in the first round by
• 37:42
  submission or KO/TKO. So it did it by submission.
• 37:47
  I knew it was going to be done in the first round.
• 37:49
  The next fight I had a perfect pick on.
• 37:52
  I was very happy about this. Got the winner right, the method
• 37:56
  of victory right and the time right.
• 37:59
  So which round to win in? So Ryan spanned up against Lucas
• 38:04
  Bresky. Bresky is strong, but you have
• 38:08
  to be more than strong in the UFC.
• 38:11
  You have to be really good and you have to be able to overcome
• 38:16
  what would be a loss in most other organizations.
• 38:21
  You have to be willing to overcome that.
• 38:23
  And there was a moment there where he had the advantage and
• 38:29
  he let it slip away. And after that, Ryan Spann never
• 38:33
  looked back, was in complete control, finished off this fight
• 38:38
  with the submission and he made it look a lot easier than it is.
• 38:44
  But Ryan Spann came out ready to go full force.
• 38:48
  Didn't try to play a size up game, just went right in there.
• 38:55
  Jimmy Crute was up next. He defeated Martin Pacino.
• 39:01
  He submitted him in the first round.
• 39:04
  So I knew Jimmy Crew is going to be all wrestling.
• 39:07
  He may strike a little bit, you know, to open that up, but he's
• 39:11
  only striking to open up his wrestling.
• 39:14
  He's not striking to knock you out.
• 39:16
  He may throw haymaker, he may try for a big punch, but he was
• 39:21
  up against a guy with more reach and a better striker.
• 39:26
  But he did well first round, took him down, got him to the
• 39:29
  ground, maintained control, just kind of weared on him, weathered
• 39:34
  on him a little bit and then got him out of there.
• 39:37
  So I was really happy Jimmy Crew got that done.
• 39:39
  And yet Islam Doulotov up against Adam Fugit.
• 39:46
  And I think Adam knew he was outmatched.
• 39:48
  He knew he was kind of outgunned, but he was like, I
• 39:51
  still have a bunch of shants, still made it interesting.
• 39:56
  But in the first round he eventually got knocked out, went
• 39:59
  out cold, woke back up and he would have been knocked out
• 40:02
  again if the ref didn't step in. Dulatov is going to be very hard
• 40:08
  to beat. How guys are going to end up
• 40:10
  beating him is if they can catch him with his hands down.
• 40:14
  Then we had another quick scrap. This was a quick fight.
• 40:19
  First round. This was another perfect pick.
• 40:23
  Up to this point. I was on fire.
• 40:24
  I mean, I have not dropped the ball.
• 40:27
  Atiba Gaudier defeats Robert Valentin by KO/TKO and round
• 40:35
  Number one. It was easy to see that once
• 40:39
  Robert felt the power, that was it.
• 40:42
  A little bit later Atiba would just be running them down and
• 40:46
  that would be it. The ref would step in and the
• 40:49
  fight was over. Then we got a questionable
• 40:54
  decision. Where Nikolai Veron Tinkoff
• 40:58
  defeated Francisco Prado. And I do agree that Prado could
• 41:04
  have done more, but Vera Tinkoff didn't finish strong.
• 41:10
  He didn't start strong. So I don't understand where the
• 41:14
  judges looked at this and decided.
• 41:18
  Two of them decided that, well, we'll just give it to Verna
• 41:22
  Tinkoff because he maybe has more upside.
• 41:27
  Whatever their thought process was here, I feel like it was
• 41:31
  wrong. Not just because the pick was
• 41:34
  off, but I just feel like the judges have to do better.
• 41:38
  We need that 4th AI judge in there to kind of split this up.
• 41:43
  Then we get Brendan Allen up against Marvin Vettori in a
• 41:48
  three round decision. There was a time there where
• 41:53
  Brendan Allen really could have just ended the fight.
• 41:56
  I think once he's seen how easy it was to get a takedown in that
• 42:00
  third round, he was like, wow, I should have did this in the
• 42:03
  second round and got a submission or G&P finish.
• 42:10
  Allen is still learning a lot in his stand up game, but his
• 42:14
  striking has come such a long way.
• 42:17
  It's just hard for him not to get hit because of how big of a
• 42:21
  target Allen is. We just have to give credit to
• 42:25
  Vittori for hanging in there, not fading away at the end,
• 42:31
  making it, you know, a real interesting fight.
• 42:35
  Then we got another good fight, Finaskis Oliviera versus Kyler
• 42:41
  Phillips, and I was really impressed with Kyler.
• 42:45
  I thought early on he rocked Oliviera because Olivier really
• 42:52
  thought he was going to have an easy fight.
• 42:55
  And I think the whole fight Olivier really thought it was
• 42:58
  going to just be easy for him to knockout Kyler.
• 43:02
  And although we dropped them, he couldn't get the finish.
• 43:08
  And I think that the way he fought won't work against higher
• 43:12
  caliber fighters now that they've seen his game.
• 43:16
  He's still strong as a bull. He still has the knockout power,
• 43:21
  but the difference is that Kyler Phillips, with movement, with
• 43:27
  attrition, only lost by decision, and he took a pretty
• 43:32
  big beating, but he also dished out some real heavy stuff.
• 43:38
  But I give a lot of credit to Kyler because this is a fight
• 43:42
  that not a lot of guys are picking.
• 43:44
  They don't really want to fight Olivier right now, and
• 43:48
  rightfully so. The guy's a monster.
• 43:52
  Then we look at Michael Johnson up against Danielle Zell, Uber,
• 43:56
  and Daniel just took his foot off the gas.
• 43:59
  Michael Johnson came out strong, came out hard, was hungry for
• 44:04
  it. He's a veteran, you know, this
• 44:08
  was just up his alley and he's up against a guy that kind of
• 44:13
  leaves his arms out there a little bit too long after he
• 44:15
  punches that has an awkward stance.
• 44:19
  And Michael Johnson was taking advantage of all of that.
• 44:22
  It was a great win for Michael Johnson.
• 44:25
  I do feel like in a way, though, there was a case to be made that
• 44:29
  Daniel won the fight. At the end of the fight, you
• 44:33
  could tell the tide had turned and Daniel was in control.
• 44:37
  But those first two rounds, there was enough on that
• 44:41
  highlight reel. I think that's way the judges
• 44:47
  when they graded that third and final scorecard.
• 44:49
  Then we had another shocker. I mean, Michael Johnson was a 5
• 44:53
  to 1 underdog. That was the biggest shocker of
• 44:56
  the night. But Patricio Pitbull up against
• 44:59
  Danny Gay, the odds were closer here.
• 45:02
  But I think you have to be very surprised if you're a Danny Gay
• 45:06
  fan that he almost got stopped at one point by Pitbull.
• 45:13
  Now we came back, He countered well with a lot of things.
• 45:15
  He threw the kick that landed and did a lot of damage.
• 45:19
  But Pitbull never wavered. He stayed true the entire fight
• 45:24
  and he stood in the fire. He did a lot of damage.
• 45:28
  And I think that was a surprise to everybody.
• 45:31
  That's a Danny Gay fan like me that wow, here's a guy that
• 45:35
  jumped over from Bellator but has his act together.
• 45:39
  So hats off to Pitbull. Then we got Daniel Rodriguez up
• 45:42
  against Kevin Holland and I picked that right.
• 45:47
  I was really happy because D Rod does not get a lot of credit and
• 45:53
  everybody knows who Kevin Holland is.
• 45:55
  Kevin Holland's a bad ass. He knocks people out.
• 45:58
  But this is what happens when you take fights on short notice
• 46:02
  and D Rod did too. I mean, this is a short notice
• 46:04
  fight for really both of these guys, but Daniel Rodriguez, he
• 46:09
  showed you he has the durability, he has the skill
• 46:13
  set. He could take a punch and give a
• 46:15
  punch. And right here at welterweight,
• 46:19
  he's fitting in nicely and he's come a long way.
• 46:23
  He's really fine-tuned his skills and he ends up winning a
• 46:29
  very tough fight against Kevin Holland, who is on the uprise.
• 46:35
  He's rising up and Daniel Rodriguez steps up and does his
• 46:39
  thing. I was impressed.
• 46:41
  I called it there. Then Paulo Costa defeats Roman
• 46:46
  Kapilov in a three round decision.
• 46:50
  So you kind of seen the Paulo Costa we've all been wanting to
• 46:54
  see, minus the knockout. Roman needed to land more shots,
• 46:58
  He needed to do more damage. There were times where he had
• 47:01
  opportunities to step in and touch up Costa and turn the tide
• 47:06
  of the fight, but he never did that.
• 47:08
  And then we get to our main event, Dustin Poirier verse Max
• 47:14
  Holloway 3. The third time they're going to
• 47:18
  Duke it out, and they did. They went all out.
• 47:22
  This was one of the best fights of the year.
• 47:25
  The best thing about this fight was that they both almost ended
• 47:31
  the fight. Each one had a chance to finish
• 47:34
  the other. Max all the way at one point had
• 47:38
  Dustin cooked. He was done.
• 47:41
  And then Dustin turn around, found the rage when he got to
• 47:45
  his feet, and almost finished Max Holloway.
• 47:48
  It was insane. But then the 3rd, 4th, and 5th
• 47:52
  round, without a doubt Max Holloway was coming back strong.
• 47:58
  But yeah, Max started off that first round invincible.
• 48:03
  Second round, things got heated. Third round, things were heated.
• 48:06
  I mean, the whole fight was crazy.
• 48:08
  But I would say the second and third round, when you're going
• 48:11
  back and watching on a replay, pay very close attention because
• 48:16
  that's where you learn about the character of Dustin Poirier.
• 48:22
  I mean, what a remarkable fighter.
• 48:25
  I'm very honored I was able to watch his fights in Max
• 48:29
  Holloway. What can you say?
• 48:31
  Blessed, Absolutely blessed. He makes you feel like punching
• 48:38
  and striking is easy. He makes it look simple.
• 48:43
  I've never seen that on this type of level.
• 48:47
  Very special. I'm very impressed with the
• 48:51
  power both of these guys packed too.
• 48:54
  You know, you get a lot of guys at this weight class and power
• 48:58
  isn't their specialty. They're not weak, but when
• 49:01
  you're talking about hand speed, technique, footwork mixed with
• 49:08
  the twisting of your back, the alignment of your your chin, and
• 49:14
  then throwing the punch, the whole kit and caboodle, you're
• 49:19
  talking about a whole science, right?
• 49:22
  And Max Holloway mastered the science and still was almost
• 49:27
  finished in this fight. That's what the level of UFC is.
• 49:33
  That's Ultimate Fighting Championship right there.
• 49:36
  That is the ultimate. When guys master the game, they
• 49:40
  master a craft and still have a hard time winning.
• 49:47
  That's because of the competition.
• 49:49
  The level of competition in the UFC is a bar none.
• 49:54
  It was getting close in Bellator BFL but now the UFC has asserted
• 49:59
  themselves as number one in the fight game without a doubt and
• 50:04
  everyone is looking forward to UFC on the White House lawn.
• 50:10
  That's going to be a special card.
• 50:13
  I will have some picks up for the next MMA event.
• 50:17
  UAE Warriors 61 on my oddman.com very soon, within the next two
• 50:26
  days. I would like to talk about
• 50:28
  Smackdown because they had a banger of a show Friday night,
• 50:32
  Smackdown on the USA Network. I'll watch it at 7:00 Central
• 50:37
  time. You watch it whenever you want.
• 50:40
  Started off with the hit and run on Smackdown and figure out
• 50:43
  what's going on. Jacob Fatu's in trouble.
• 50:46
  Maybe Jacob Fatu's in trouble. Allegedly.
• 50:49
  Then Charlotte Flair defeats Raquel Rodriguez.
• 50:53
  That might have been the best match.
• 50:56
  That probably is your best match on Smackdown out of the whole
• 51:00
  night right off the bat. Why do I feel like that's a
• 51:03
  different Charlotte Flair out there, a different version?
• 51:09
  She is on another level right now.
• 51:11
  I don't know, something about her.
• 51:13
  She was moving in and out of the ropes so fluidly.
• 51:18
  I don't remember seeing anything like that, and Raquel Rodriguez
• 51:22
  is right at the perfect size where Charlotte Flair is because
• 51:26
  they're both tall, so they matched up well.
• 51:30
  Then you had Damien Priest up against Carmelo Hayes, and I
• 51:35
  like the Carmelo Hayes character.
• 51:38
  I think you have to keep running with that, but you may end up
• 51:42
  changing that character down the road.
• 51:44
  That's up to creative, but you have to build him up.
• 51:49
  He's too good of a superstar. He's good on the microphone.
• 51:54
  He could be serious or funny. He reminds me of Kurt Angle,
• 51:58
  that's who. Carmelo Hayes reminds me of Kurt
• 52:01
  Angle. And then you get Damien Priest,
• 52:06
  who really without a faction? I feel like Damien Priest isn't
• 52:15
  that popular without a faction. He needs a faction.
• 52:20
  He's got to be always supported by a faction.
• 52:24
  So Alistair Black comes out there, attacks Priest with the
• 52:31
  Black mass to end the match in a DQ.
• 52:33
  So Damien Priest wins because he was the one that was attacked.
• 52:37
  But I think this should fire Carmelo Hayes up a little bit.
• 52:40
  Hey, I'm trying to make my name right.
• 52:45
  I'm the one that's having the conversations with the top
• 52:48
  execs. I'm big time.
• 52:50
  You guys are coming in here on my time, ruining my match.
• 52:54
  No, I want to finish my match. Then we got a pretty cool
• 52:58
  announcement and I like how this went down.
• 53:01
  I like how they worked this out. It wasn't five star acting, it
• 53:06
  was definitely three star acting.
• 53:09
  But it was good and I'd like to be able to see the bloodline
• 53:13
  interacting this way. Not all on the same team.
• 53:18
  That will probably come again. Don't rule it out.
• 53:21
  But for now, Adam Pierce says Solo will fight Jacob Fad 2 in a
• 53:30
  steel cage match for the United States title at SummerSlam.
• 53:36
  The reason that's important to remember is because the police
• 53:41
  that were looking for Jacob Fad 2 end up arresting Solo and now
• 53:46
  he's got to wait to fight for the United States Championship
• 53:51
  and see what happens at Summer Slam.
• 53:54
  So the tables have turned on Solo and his criminal enterprise
• 53:59
  in the WWEI love how this story's playing out.
• 54:05
  Stephanie Vacker was up against Alba Fire and here we go,
• 54:10
  another WWENXT Superstar Elbow Fire.
• 54:16
  Great gimmick. She's got the perfect get up and
• 54:20
  she finds herself on Smackdown mid carding, which is really
• 54:24
  good. A lot of eyes on you and you're
• 54:28
  up against Stephanie Vacker who is on a roll and completely
• 54:34
  fired up and wanting this match. They both go at it.
• 54:41
  La Primera hit the Devil's Kiss early on, then nailed the SVB
• 54:48
  and that was it. I mean, this was a great match.
• 54:52
  I was impressed with how they were working.
• 54:56
  Andre and Ray Phoenix were up against DIY, the Motor City
• 55:02
  Machine Guns and Fraxium to become the number one
• 55:08
  contenders. Everybody's fine for these tag
• 55:12
  team titles. If you don't have a good solo
• 55:16
  gimmick going, you need to be in a faction trying to get some tag
• 55:20
  team belts. But you got Andre and Ray
• 55:24
  Phoenix, who beat all of these guys, DIY, Motor City Machine
• 55:31
  Guns and Fraxium. I thought for a moment there,
• 55:34
  DIY might return to glory. They're going to have to wait
• 55:40
  and there was even some interference from Candace Loray
• 55:45
  still didn't help. Andrade hits the the message on
• 55:51
  Siampa and wins the match. Great match, a lot of fun.
• 55:57
  I felt like this Smackdown episode had a lot.
• 56:02
  It was a lot to unpack. So while watching it, being in
• 56:09
  the moment was a lot of fun, it really is starting to look like
• 56:13
  a show again, like a really good show.
• 56:16
  So I was happy with Smackdown. I'm starting to like Smackdown
• 56:19
  more than Raw. And then Cody Rhodes shows up
• 56:23
  and Smackdown is notorious for something crazy or something
• 56:28
  going haywire at the end of the match or at the end of
• 56:31
  Smackdown. And Cody Rhodes can't get John
• 56:37
  Cena to sign this challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship
• 56:44
  in a street fight at SummerSlam, so he ends up starting a fight
• 56:50
  with him. He then proceeds to slam John
• 56:53
  Cena through a table while John Cena's unconscious.
• 56:57
  He takes his hand and signs John Cena's name on the document.
• 57:02
  The fight is on at SummerSlam. I'll finish with a few
• 57:07
  headlines. Illinois could pay you $1000 per
• 57:12
  month to catch invasive black carp.
• 57:18
  There's a program through IDNR which is offering a $100 bounty
• 57:26
  for each black carp called through its Keepcoolcall
• 57:29
  program. The payments are capped at 1000
• 57:34
  per person a month, so one month you can earn 1000 bucks.
• 57:40
  This is your Summerside hustle. To qualify for the reward, you
• 57:46
  must take clear photographs of the fish's head, mouth and total
• 57:51
  length. Also take note of the location
• 57:55
  you captured it in with GPS coordinates.
• 58:00
  So pop open the Google Maps dog and also write down in your
• 58:05
  notepad on your phone what the water conditions were.
• 58:10
  They must be caught from the Mississippi River basin or its
• 58:15
  trabituaries. So if you're listening, you
• 58:19
  might be able to run out and make a couple 100 bucks this
• 58:22
  month. Also, there is an organization
• 58:25
  in Chicago I want to give a shout out to.
• 58:28
  This is a good organization called The Purpose Over Pain.
• 58:32
  And this is a group of moms and families that don't believe
• 58:36
  they're getting justice for their missing loved ones.
• 58:41
  And I reposted this on my Smoke After Dark page where I do the
• 58:45
  other podcast for true crime where I said maybe I can help if
• 58:52
  I can find out some of these stories and get the word out
• 58:56
  there and get the message out there.
• 58:58
  Because these are moms and families who are working with
• 59:01
  the local law enforcement. But the investigations are
• 59:04
  turning up empty because thousands of cold cases remain
• 59:10
  unsolved all across Chicago land.
• 59:14
  I'll leave you with a bit of good news.
• 59:16
  The New York Post reports scientists and some health
• 59:21
  experts say brunch is being unfairly criticized.
• 59:26
  And it isn't actually bad for your heart.
• 59:30
  Yes, that's what I wanted to hear.
• 59:32
  I've always been a brunch guy. I love brunch.
• 59:36
  Ladies and gentlemen, just like the hands of time.
• 59:41
  I'm turning it over to you. Goodnight and God bless Song 37
• 59:46
  Four KJV.
