Isiah 1:17- Learn to do well. Seek justice, Relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, Plead for the widow.
The race keeps getting told as Washington versus Beijing.
Max Tegmark told Bill O’Reilly it is not only that.
There is a third superpower rising, he said. Not China. Not the United States. The machines themselves.
That is the line that lands.
O’Reilly’s long sit-down is We’ll Do It LIVE!, posted September 24. Tegmark is the MIT physicist. It sits next to the Sherman hour from last week.

I was late to this one. It still sits next to the recent story regarding the Greenfield, MA bar.
Last Ditch wanted one Saturday mask-optional and the comments reached for harm and eugenics. Two weeks before that, over Labor Day, Haymarket Books packed the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place in the South Loop for Socialism 2026. More than three thousand people. Masks required except when a speaker was at the mic. That was the house rule in Chicago in 2026 — as if the pandemic was still a thing.
The clips left the building. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discussed them on The Young Turks. Title on the segment: Cenk Gives Socialists A BIG Reality Check.

TYT is a left-wing outlet. That is the only reason the tape is interesting. This is not a conservative victory lap. It is their own side's floor, and the sentences do not add up.
Glenn Beck walked a Boston Globe magazine story this week and consider me baffled. A lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts, wants one Saturday mask-optional and all hell breaks loose.
The title to Beck's segment is almost like a joke: A Clown, A Drag Queen, And A Lesbian Walk Into A COVID Friendly Bar...
Watch Beck here: [VIDEO]
The article is Annalisa Quinn’s, September 22: A Western Mass. lesbian bar required KN-95 masks. When it changed the rules, all hell broke loose.
President Donald Trump addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York yesterday during the annual high-level General Debate. The United States, as host country, traditionally speaks early. He also held sideline meetings and signed a security agreement involving Greenland.

The governor’s race already looks settled. They are selling Durbin’s seat the same way.
March 17 named the tickets. Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton won the Democratic nomination with 40.4 percent. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi took 32.7. Rep. Robin Kelly took 18.3. Former Illinois Republican Party chair Don Tracy won his primary with 40 percent over attorney Jeannie Evans at 22.8. The general is November 3.
They have sat for television. They have not sat together.

Bill O'Reilly sat John Sherman down and asked how the machine kills you.
Sherman runs the AI Risk Network. This first clip is the short one that went up Friday under the title Countdown to Extinction?
Watch it here: [VIDEO]
Sherman's answer is that he cannot name the method. Today's systems are not the threat. The threat, as he tells it, is general intelligence and then superintelligence — machines smarter than a person in every domain. He points at Dario Amodei's recent essay: in six to twelve months, bot swarms could take the internet and hold it. Encryption could fail in the same window. Bank, Gmail, Pentagon. When O'Reilly asks how they kill us, Sherman reaches for Roman Yampolskiy's dog. The dog thinks you kill it by biting. It does not know about guns or poison. A mind that stands to us the way we stand to the dog would use means we do not have a word for. The builders and the outside experts, he says, already agree these machines have the near-term potential to end us. They also agree they do not fully control what they are building.
I wanted to get into these videos on the Illinois governor’s race. JB Pritzker is seeking a third term. His Republican opponent is the same man from 2022, Darren Bailey, running this time with Cook County Republican Aaron Del Mar. Given that Illinois is a solid blue state, the Republicans have a very steep climb in 2026.
The first clip is Del Mar. FOX 32 got a recording of comments he made about George Floyd. He sat down with political reporter Brandon Pope to answer them.
Watch it here [VIDEO]
I already posted that the holdout juror finally responded. That was The Clancy Holdout Answered. Fugitive TV had him off camera. Ray Marcel called him Michael. I held the last name there.
This Fugitive TV cut is the follow-up. Michael called Marcel again. He hired a defamation lawyer. [VIDEO]
Over the weekend it became news that the holdout was Black. That was already in the last post. Paula Devlin told Gayle King that on CBS Mornings. King had to sit with it for a second. Some people tried to make the race the story.
Megyn Kelly got to that clip before the NY Post printed the rest.
Watch her here: [VIDEO]
I just found this Jason Whitlock video. He shares clips from Fugitive TV, where Ray Marcel says he got the Black holdout juror from the Lindsay Clancy case on the phone.
Watch Whitlock here: [VIDEO]
The original call is on Fugitive TV. Marcel says the juror would not sit on camera. Watch that clip itself here: Fugitive TV.
There was another post on this case in the works. It has yet to be published. It may be shared at a later time.
This juror has been taking a beating since the Clancy mistrial. Over the weekend it became news that the holdout was Black.
Whitlock and Marcel both call him Michael. A last name was identified on X/Twitter before either video. The Boston Globe later printed his full name. The jury list remains impounded by order of the trial judge.
We hear things about him lying to the court on his own criminal charges. We hear attacks on his logic. Clancy’s defense attorney tried to kick him off the jury before the mistrial.
I already used Walsh for the hang. Sympathy is not a verdict. I am not walking that ground again.
Well, this juror has spoken. Whitlock is the analysis. Marcel is the call. He says he checked the box. He says he stayed on the children. A dismissed charge is not a verdict. Neither is the beating.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Bill Clinton is back on the record about the man who planned September 11. The New York Post has the interview from John Catsimatidis's WABC show, Cats Roundtable.

Clinton says he signed the order. Capture would have been fine. Stopping Usama Bin Laden was the point.
“I had authorized the CIA to try to take him out.”
Then the plan died at the last minute. Not because the target was in doubt. Because the agency did not want the miss.
“I was scared, and I was mad because we tried to get him before, and the CIA at the last minute killed the plan that I think might well have succeeded.”
“But they were afraid that if they missed, they’d kill a lot of innocent civilians. They didn’t want to run the risk. I didn’t second-guess them.”
That last line is the one I keep. He wanted the man gone. He still thinks the raid might have worked. He did not override the people who pulled it.
I already had the sentence, the day after the anniversary. We still hear people say we deserved it. Treating the dead as a receipt. Changing the subject from the people at their desks to a running argument about everything America has ever done.
The clip is not a pundit discovering that line. It is George Pataki, governor of New York the morning of 9/11/2001, still circling it twenty-five years later with Maya Sulkin of The Free Press. The mayor fight comes with it. The sentence is the same one.
Watch it here: VIDEO
I cannot believe September 11, 2001, was twenty-five years ago.
One of the slogans of that period was “Never Forget.” What is sad is that a lot of us have. The phrase still gets said. The people it was supposed to name do not always travel with it.

What I notice first, a day after the anniversary, is not only the forgetting. It is that we still hear people say we deserved it.
Deserved it. As if the people who went to work at the World Trade Center or the Pentagon, or the passengers on those four flights, had billed the country for something and the bill came due on a Tuesday morning. That is a horrendous thing to say about the dead. It is also a way of changing the subject from what happened to a running argument about everything America has ever done.
The attack had a source, a method, and a target. Those are not mysteries. Treating the day as a receipt for prior sins is a way of not looking at the people who were at their desks.
