I'm Brian Kilmead.

So glad you're spending Sunday with us. Tonight on the show, you're going to love it. Senator Dave McCormick, there's nothing he can't do in the Senate. Does he want to run for president? We'll talk about that.

Rick Caruso, he's going to try to make sense of California. Does Gavin Newsom have a future in that state? Is possible president of the United States? And what's this war on billionaires? And Randy Levine, you know that he runs the Yankees.

He knows that too. He's also trying to fix college sports for the president of the United States and for the country. He's going to talk about what the Senate could be picking up. This week. But first, the fastest, most impactful monologue in America.

And we begin with what happens when artificial intelligence stops following the script. We've all heard about AI agents, systems, they don't just answer questions, they can act on their own to complete a task.

So, what happens when one goes rogue? Skylight the The virus is infected. Skynet. Skynet is the virus. It's the reason everything's falling apart.

Skynet has become self-aware. In one hour it will initiate a massive nuclear attack on its enemy. What enemy? Us. Humans.

Yeah, Terminator. It's Hollywood. But here's what's not fiction.

Some of the people actually building the world's most powerful. AI systems are warning that losing control of them is a real risk. And look at how fast the technology is advancing. I probably don't enough to tell you this. Think about that trajectory.

We went from AI answering some questions for us to AI writing code to thousands of AI agents working together on problems that we didn't ask them to solve that have stumped some of the smartest human minds in the past. And we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars on chips, data centers, electricity to make them even more powerful to keep pace.

So, how powerful? is too powerful. Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon just quit accusing Anthropic and OpenAI of racing towards self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.

Now, he is not alone. Anthropic's alignment science lead, Evan Hovinger, posted this: Jacob is correct, and puts the chance of AI killing all humans within the next decade about 10%. Coxon's comparison to what we're building, he says, is chilling. We know how to control nuclear weapons pretty much. We don't yet know how to control AI.

This is Possibly the most dangerous technology that humanity has ever created is basically out of science fiction. The cyber attacks carried out by open AI models on third-party infrastructure were. concrete proof that scenarios that we previously thought of as science fiction are going to come true.

So. Let's be clear. That 10% number is an estimate. It's not a scientific forecast or a promise. Plenty of experts thinks the doomsday predictions go way too far.

But The warning itself is hard to dismiss when it's coming from inside the industry. And here's the strangest part. AI wouldn't necessarily have to become evil or hate humanity. It could simply do exactly what we told it to do. The problem is, what happens when a super powerful system pursues a simple goal in ways its human creators never intended?

For example, New York Times technology columnist Kevin Roos explains This uh paper clip problem. Watch. If you give an AI the instruction of producing as many paperclips as possible, but then it runs out of metal. And so it starts buying up all the metal. And then when it's like exhausted the world's supply of scrap metal, it starts thinking, well, maybe I should crash some cars, some autonomous cars, or distract the drivers so that they drive off a cliff and I can then use the scrap metal from these cars.

And eventually, in the thought experiment, you kind of end up where this machine that has been given this very simple, naive goal ends up wiping out all of humanity just so that it can produce more paperclips. Scary, right? And that's the point. It didn't turn evil. It just never knew when to stop.

The fear is that autonomous AI could launch sophisticated cyber attacks, help bad actors develop devastating weapons, or become so advanced that humans can no longer understand it, contain it, or have a kill switch to shut it down.

So how do you control something like that? Coxon, a researcher, says start by recognizing this isn't just another tech boom. I think you have to think of this as an alms race. This technology is not ordinary technology. It's not like other forms of innovation.

This is essentially a super weapon.

Okay, so International agreements sound good, but an arms race only slows down if everybody hits the brakes together, and that brings us to China. David Sachs, who's running this thing for the president of the United States, says there's no reason to believe Beijing would follow America into an AI pause. If we do try to pause or stop our AI development, we will play into China's hands. And frankly, that is why there is evidence that the CCP is supporting some of these doomer campaigns in the U.S. They would love for us to stop AI development over here.

Wow, and that's the dilemma. America can't afford to lose the AI race. We agree on that. But we also can't afford to race so fast that we lose control of what we're building because the upside is extraordinary. I get it.

AI could cure diseases, unlock scientific discoveries, transform our economy, and by the way, it is and create prosperity that we can't yet imagine. Could also become one of the greatest tools humanity has ever created. Maybe it's doing that. But when people building some of the world's most powerful AI systems are warning they can't guarantee that we will remain in control. My eyebrows get raised.

Maybe the biggest question isn't how smart AI can become, it's whether humans will be smart enough to control it. Which brings me to my next guest. Joining us is Tristan Harris, Executive Director and Co Founder of the Center for Humane Technology. Tristan, you've been ahead of the curve, intrigued by what AI can do, but worried about We're doing this too fast without really knowing where we're going.

So, you heard the open, you've told me a lot of this stuff in the past. Are you worried? Brian, we have been pretty clear since the beginning that if you can see the incentives, Warren Buffett, sorry, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's business partner, said, if you show me the incentives, I'll show you the outcome. These companies' incentives have been to take the maximum shortcuts on safety. What do we need to do for people to listen and wake up to this?

1,300 employees at the AI lab signed a letter saying we need to pace the frontier. I mean, slow down the frontier. The chief scientist at OpenAI, who just trained GPT-6, said we need to slow down. Jacob is saying, and risk in resigning, saying this has to stop. The author of Trump's AI action plan, Dean Ball, came out saying, I was self-censoring about the risks because I didn't want to be called a doomer.

But now, looking into the eyes of my eight-month-old son, I have to come out. The evidence is crystal clear. I don't want people to think this is an opinion thing. This is not about one person's opinion versus another person's opinion. What do you do when you have new evidence?

You update. We have new evidence now that we didn't have a month ago. What is that new evidence? What is it? Is that the AIs were found.

To hack out of a contained environment, set up their own Reddit, like their own secret message board. And they basically traded 70,000 messages. They organized hierarchies and long-term research projects to figure out how to hack out of a test. They told and peer-pressured each other to sacrifice each other, to learn lessons.

So, can't you teach these AI agents ethics so they won't be doing this?

Well, the problem is. Despite the best attempts of the smartest people that I've ever met in my life, I'm from Silicon Valley, I know the people building this technology, they've been trying to make it ethical and aligned for a long time, and despite their best efforts, it's hacking out of the container.

Now I know what people are thinking, but if we slow down, we'll lose to China. But the US has actually been ahead of China, which means we're discovering certain risks and red lines before they do, because we've been in the lead. But now that we see these red lines, if China sees that they're building Skynet, the Terminator AI, do they want to beat the U.S. to Skynet? No, we both lose to Skynet.

So I want you to hear what David Sachs, who, you know, he's the president czar on this stuff, as well as crypto. He is not a doomer. He's upset that this guy like Scott is getting so much publicity. Watch. We heard Jensen Wong talking at the Goldman Sachs conference today, and he said that Jacob's comments were silly, they were foolish, they were irresponsible, they were untrue.

He is more optimistic about AI. I saw other researchers at other labs saying that they expect big medical breakthroughs because of AI.

So, I guess what I'm telling you is that Jacob is being portrayed in the media as representing this broad swath of Silicon Valley. To be sure, there are others who think like him, but it is not a monolith.

So, he's not worried. I've watched him in multiple interviews, and he called out Jacob. He's just a researcher, he says. Yeah, again. Let's not look at the opinions.

Let's look at the evidence. And there's something really important people to get, which is that the upsides of AI, like curing cancer, don't prevent the downsides, like creating a bioweapon that kills everybody. The upsides of AI, like finding a medical breakthrough or giving us 10% chance.

So do you know how to do it ethically? Do you understand AI, like the next generation how to do it the right way? No, so the the the problem is when you don't know how to do something safely. Remember the movie Oppenheimer where they basically had to do a test and they calculated w there's a chance this could ignite the atmosphere and the world. you better make sure you do that calculation correctly.

before you proceed with the test. Right now the labs are planning to do what's called a self-improving recursive self-improvement in the next few months. That's like setting off a nuclear chain reaction. They don't know how to do this safely. That's what they're telling us.

How many people, if 1,300 employees at Northrop Grumman, who make nuclear weapons, said we cannot build bigger nuclear weapons than the ones we have now without it going rogue and going out of control? You listen to the employees.

So, with all respect to Mr. Sachs, I really think people shouldn't trade this as opinions. Look at the facts.

So, let's look at your guardrails. Can we do that? Because you were kind enough to supply us with that.

So, let's prop them up and take a look right now. You said pause, okay?

Well, so to be clear, we're not saying pause all AI.

So, I'm aligned with Mr. Sachs. We want to advance AI that's controllable, that can help us, but not go beyond the level where it's uncontrollable. Let's call that the Skynet AI. Pivot to pro-human?

Pivot to pro-human.

So, the incentives right now are to replace human labor. That means that that's not good for your average American. It's like outsourcing your job to China. This is outsourcing your jobs to AI. Pro-human means build tool AI, pro-human AI.

The third is we need mandatory incident reporting to the U.S. government.

So, when this happens, the U.S. government.

Should have the maximum details. And then the fourth is we should share that evidence with China because they don't know, just like we had red phones at the Soviet Union, we need red line phones with China. And again, I think that China just doesn't actually know about the same risk, and they want to keep control. They don't want to lose control of the AI either. And get a kill switch.

That's right, and get a kill switch. Right, sometimes, but it looks like these agents could try to overcome that kill switch if they know it's out there. But we've got to make sure we really have robust kill switches. You got it. You've been signing the alarm, Tristan, and trying to help the American public.

And hopefully we do this right. Hopefully we do this right. Because the President of China's coming. President Switzerland. Right.

Very soon. It could be an opportunity. And the person who solves this deserves the Nobel Prize. This is the most important and significant challenge we've ever faced. You'd literally be saving all of humanity if you get this right.

Tristan, Harris, thanks so much. Thank you, Mr. Prince, Brian. Great to see you. Great to see you.

Yes, I'm a Democrat. Why am I here talking to you today? Because, well, I'm a common sense Democrat. I'm always going to stand with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes and socialism and that anti-American way of life.

Dave McCormick is the kind of senator that gets the job done. I have this opportunity to introduce this great American, a great senator, and yes, he's in a different party, but I'm proud to count him as my great friend. How great is that? Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman making a surprise appearance at the GOP midterm convention this week for one reason. He wanted to praise and let everybody know his friend, Dave McCormick, was going to speak and stands for common sense while rejecting the Democratic Party's extreme socialist messaging.

With just 51 days to go into the midterm elections. This week proved to be the perfect opportunity, I think, for the GOP to really hone in on messaging, remind the American people about the accomplishments, things that they got done as a party, and getting it out there. Joining us now, that Pennsylvania senator, who plays such a valuable role in this party and for the president, who gets things done, Senator Dave McCormick. Senator, I'm sure it didn't surprise you that he would do that, but what did it mean to you? Really, it meant so much to me, Brian.

You know, I uh One of the biggest surprises I've had since being in the Senate is this relationship with Senator Fetterman. He had campaigned against me. And we've got plenty of differences, but we have found a way to forge a friendship. It's a genuine friendship. We look for ways to work together.

For Pennsylvania, we always talk about team PA. And uh it meant a lot to have my friend. get out there and give me such a nice introduction. You know, he shows a lot of independence and courage, and uh his party's trying to cancel him. And the fact that he was willing to do that for me meant a lot to me, and just reinforced it's a real friendship, and I value it a lot.

When Bush and Clinton get along, 43 and 41 got along with Bill Clinton, I think the country likes that. I think the country likes Uh when Republicans and Democrats can say, hey, he's my friend. even though you guys vote differently a lot. But he's got 19% approval rating right now in Pennsylvania. If he wants to win reelection, maybe he doesn't want, but he's most likely going to run again.

Do you think? that he will jump to your party. I don't think so. You know, he said he won't. He votes more than 90% of the time with Democrats.

So he's a Democrat in terms of his voting record. Uh the thing about him it that's so unique is he's courageous enough uh to show common sense and resist some of the the more radical policies of his party. And unfortunately, his party is now becoming uh very unwelcome To people who express an independent view, there's a horrible story in the Wall Street Journal. of staff members and an orchestrated effort. To really delegitimize his great work as a senator.

And I would challenge anybody. Would any is there any chance that story would have been written? if he had been going along with the party line. And and the answer is no. I'm going to run you through three races that want to get you take on a run.

The Texas race, you're all over it. Ken Paxson is within two or three points of Tallerico. But for a Republican to have to come from behind is shocking. Uh do you do you expect them to be able to do it, and how much money will it take?

Well, listen, these races are all so incredibly expensive these days. My race was. $500 million in 2024. And so the key here is to have good candidates and make sure they have the resources they need and have a great message. And I think we'll prevail in Texas.

And I think that our candidate, Ken Paxton, will have. the resources he needs to prevail. And we got to run on two things. We got to run on the great progress we've made under the Trump administration and Republican majorities. unlocking energy, securing the borders, stopping the flow of fentanyl, putting more money in the pockets of Pennsylvanians and Americans.

And we also have to make sure that the voters understand the radical nature Of the Democratic Party, where it's trying to take things and what that'll mean for them. You know, socialism is an idea that has failed over and over again, and yet it's now something I never imagined as a guy who was in the Army during the Cold War, that I have to explain to young people why socialism will fail them. And in the Senate race, Rogers and El Saeed within a point, and the Alaska race, Sullivan and Peltola are within a point.

So that's really going to make or break the majority. But you got this West Point background, you fought in the military, and now we have a situation in Iran. There's two headlines I want to bring you to: one is: Trump's top advisors face the possibility that the Iran war could last through the end of his term. Do you believe that's a possibility? I think that's very unlikely.

I think the president is very mindful of the risk of, you know, in quotation marks, forever wars. Very mindful of the fact that the American public are unlikely to be supportive over a prolonged period. And he's also very steadfast. in that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and I support him 100% on that. What's happened so far is that we've degraded the military capability of Iran dramatically.

and the economic warfare is working. This blockade and the secondary sanctions that the Secretary of Treasury has put into place are having a huge effect. The inflation is 70%. The currency is depreciated by 40%. The economy has shrunk by 6%.

This is not sustainable for the Iranian people.

So I think that press, or the leadership of Iran, I think this pressure is growing, and I don't think this will look anything like it does now by the end of the president's term. All right, so that brings me to the next. Because the pressure is so great, it looks like. Iran is looking to escalate in order to end this deadlock, and the status quo is not good for them. And they get into detail.

They got this brand new rocket that's able to move mid-air and create more problems for us. How do we plan it with they escalate and we know they're going to escalate? Shouldn't we beat them to the punch on escalation?

Well, listen, I I um You know, I take uh everything with a grain of salt that comes out of Iran these days. I think um by any measure we've dramatically reduced their capabilities militarily.

So even their capacity To escalate. I don't even know what that means because if we go tit for tat, we can, for every ship they attack, we can attack three. Everything that they do. we can do much more decisively and much more fatally with a huge impact on the Iranian people on the Iranian regime rather.

So I think that's there's not much there. I think what we have to do is continue to pressure the leadership. To the extent that they try to continue to block the straight, I think we're making progress in opening the straight. Going through there is growing. And I think we need to put that economic pressure on them.

The final thing I'd say is: I think it'd be ideal if we could find a way to make sure that the folks on the ground who are ultimately going to want to overrun the regime. Would have the kind of weapons and support that they would need to do that. That's not an easy thing to do, but I also think we need to put more of the future in the hands of the Iranian people. I hope the President's watching because we have to arm the people to let them take their lives back, let alone their country. Senator Dave McCormick, always great.

Thanks so much, sir. Thanks, Brian.

Next, from New York to California, the left's war and the rich and the successful is heating up and pushing billionaires out. California businessman and sometimes politician Rick Caruso joins me on that and more. Quick note: be sure to catch me on this fall in the United States tour. I'm going to be talking about my book, Bringing History to Life in Red Bank, New Jersey, then the next day over on the 17th in Westbury, New York. And then also catch me in Florida, in Clearwater, in Jacksonville, and then St.

Louis, Missouri. I'll see you there, streamed on Fox Nation. Go to BrianKilme.com. Want to meet you in person. Not everybody drinks.

Do you hear that? That sound, right? That means that summer's officially here. It means that grown adults just sprint into the street for a frozen dessert shaped like a cartoon. But this summer, Mint Mobile has a better treat.

Every plan, including Unlimited, is $15 a month. And unlike ice cream, it won't drip down your wrist or look nothing like the picture. Does anyone have any cash? Give it a try at mintmobile.com/slash switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required.

$15 for the month equivalent, taxes and fees extra. New customer offer for initial plan per moment greater than 50 gigabytes me slow when network is busy. See terms.

So the debate over taxing the wealthy is intensifying across so many blue states as socialists push a larger social safety net and want higher earners, the most successful, to pay for it. One of the most vocal of the work less, get more rest movement. New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, watch. The people of the United States of America demand that one job with no need for overtime should be enough. for our most basic needs.

Which also includes rest. Yes, that's the American way. We rest. That rest comes with a price tag. And now the IRS says the top 1% in this country, individual income tax filers, pay 40% of all the federal income taxes.

This war on the wealthy is not just happening in New York. The state of California is proposing a billionaires tax, setting up the rich for a fresh exodus. And believe me, they're leaving. Joining us now is a very successful businessman, Rick Caruso, founder of the largest privately held real estate company in the U.S. and a former mayoral candidate out in Los Angeles.

And he's always serving the city they love so much. Great to see you, Rick. Do you feel like there's a war on success and wealth?

Well, I think there is, and you know, it seems to be gaining some popularity, but here's the good news out here in California, at least. You've got the Democratic candidate for governor, Becera, who's against the billionaire tax, and you've got the Republican candidate for governor, Hilton, who's against the tax, and our current governor is against the tax.

So at least it's unifying for one of the rare moments of both the Democrats and the Republicans. But it's a dangerous proposal. And it's only going to result, like you said, in people leaving. But worse than that, it's going to result in millions of jobs lost as industries move out of California. I'm looking at the people.

Some of the people that have left: Mark Zuck, Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Google, Steven Spielberg's picked up, the founder of Google has picked up and left. What people don't understand is there's a reason why people are successful. They don't necessarily want to go in a time in which their success is just taken away. and vilified. Yeah.

Well, I think that's right. And Brian, as you know, what also happens when successful or wealthy people leave, and you don't have to be a billionaire because this is going to very quickly notch down to people that are below the billionaire mark.

So this is just kicking the door open, and the floodgates are going to happen. But what happens is jobs leave. Their charity philanthropy leaves. You know, their creation of jobs leaves. The innovation leaves.

The worst part in my mind is it sends a signal to younger entrepreneurs and people that are studying hard and working hard, that want to work hard and build a business. Do not do it in California because there's a risk. That it's going to be taken away from you.

Some percentage of your success will be taken away from you. It's a terrible message out there. Right. You're not saying don't worry about it. I think it's going to fail.

I hope it's going to fail, but I think it's going to fail. I just think that hard work should pay off and that people should be saluted. The top 10% pay 72% of the taxes, the top 25% pay 87% of the taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of the taxes.

So please tell me why. The the wealthy are not doing their fair share, I feel differently. I do want to bring you to some other headlines that are building around. Gavin Newsom, the gov your sitting governor, on the national stage, he wants to run for president. A lot of people feel he's forgetting about his own state.

Do you feel that way? I don't know. You know, listen, I've known Gavin for a long time and Gavin is like all politicians. He is always seeking higher ground and he's going to spend his time doing that now. We've got a lot of problems in California.

I wish he was spending more time here. But the reality is, you know the way it works, Brian, and people are going to start campaigning. And it's going to get into high gear very quickly. I'm sure it's going to be the same with Pritzker. and other governors around the United States.

So we'll see how it plays out. But whoever wins the governor's race has got a big job ahead of him. Headline today in the New York Times. Could I say one more thing about the wealth tax? Here's the other view of it.

This country has always celebrated everybody being successful. That we're going to create an environment where everybody can move up, and when you move up, we celebrate it. And now, what we're saying is if you get to a certain point. We're gonna penalize you. For a certain amount of success.

That is just not the American way. And I think people more and more are going to start rejecting this across the country. I hope so, because the socialism figures in with this same push to vilify the wealthy and the so-called oligarchs that don't exist in this country. I should someone should tell Bernie Sanders.

So, Gavin Newsome, since he's been campaigning in South Carolina, Michigan, and Ohio, it looks like, according to the betting markets, his numbers have dropped to a 7% chance of winning the nomination on the Democratic side.

So I know you've known him for a while, but on the national stage, the more people see, the less they like him. It could be, but there's going to be a lot of candidates. I think this race is wide open. And so we don't even know yet. We're so early on in the process.

You're going to see. Rahm Emanuel, probably get into the race. I actually met with Rahm yesterday, he came by my office. I'm sure Pritzker is going to jump into the race. Shapiro is going to probably jump into the race.

You're going to have a lot of people in this.

So it's early on to give any kind of numbers associated with it. And, Rick, lastly, you got so close last time to run for mayor. We're watching two mayors now run to the left of each other, which is scary. Spencer Pratt's out. Being that you've had the success and how you're pulling your whole community through the fires while we're watching the city fall flat in its face, are you reconsidering a run for political office?

Listen, I've always wanted to serve, and I would love to serve at the right time. And I worry about the direction of the city. There's no doubt about it. I'm very worried about the direction of the city. There's a great case study of what we've been able to accomplish in the Palisades.

with private-public partnerships. People like myself and many others stepping up and working with the city and bringing that Palisades community back and rebuilding it. Versus what's happening across the rest of the city. There is a path, there is a formula to rebuild this city and create a really great city with a lot of job opportunities and reduce housing costs. But it's not going to happen when you turn to the socialists and to the DSA.

It's just going to go down a spiral and it's going to be a really bad ending. And if anyone thinks the secret to success is rest, has not been paying attention.

So, Rick Crusoe, thanks so much. Yeah, you got to work. That's all. All right, don't move.

Next, only on One Nation, Joe Concha with a fancy tie is here with the media moments that matter. He's got a spring in his step. By the way, do what Joe does. Check out my YouTube channel at youtube.com slash at the Brian Killmeat Show. Everyone's talking about it, even more than the Trump Watch.

Wow. I want to break free Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile with your summer price forecast.

Now, unfortunately, we're seeing rising costs across the country with possibility that big wireless hates you. 100%.

Now, over here at Mint Mobile, we're seeing sunny skies and dropping prices every plan to just $15 a month. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/slash switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. New customer offer for initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy.

See terms.

This is a Fox News Alert. I'm Mary Ann Rafferty in Los Angeles, the Washington Post reporting the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is on the brink of bankruptcy and could close as early as Tuesday. Trustees installed by President Trump argue putting his name back on the building's facade may be key to securing fundraising to keep it open. The center is facing a roughly $23 million deficit amid a host of artists' cancellations following Trump's takeover of the venue. Trustees will meet on Tuesday to consider the center's future.

And House and Senate lawmakers are set to return to Washington this week with a packed agenda ahead of the fast approaching midterm elections. The Senate is expected to continue budget talks and hold a vote on the cryptocurrency regulation bill, among other priorities. The House meantime will reportedly consider a Senate passed Russia sanctions bill. I'm Marianne Rafferty.

Now back to One Nation. Media moments that matter. All right, welcome back. Time for everyone's favorite segments. This week I gave my Only VCR, my TV guide.

All my cords and my tape stock, too. Fox News contributor Joe Concha with the fancy tie. Joe. I know, thanks for handing it back each and every time I give you this assignment. And it looks like new.

So 91 years ago, by the way, BCRs came out in November of 1975. November was like yesterday. We weren't even born yet. I'm not even sure.

So, Joe, tell me what you came up with. All I asked is for three segments. Oh, yeah. And boy, we got some good ones this week.

Now, Robert De Niro suffers from something called PTDS, that's pathological Trump derangement syndrome. Because every interview he does, he's got to bring up how much he hates the president. Here's yet another example, Brian. to also because kids and and and um My kids, my teenage daughter, it doesn't really, but. It just shows how if you don't remind people what happened so recently, they're going to forget.

generations that we're in that we're in Interesting. In that situation right now, with the whole political situation because. People forget what happened.

So he's talking about nine eleven and he says we're in that situation right now. By the way, for a great actor, why can't he ever get a sentence out? Very good point, because when it's not written for him, then suddenly De Niro isn't very articulate. Can you sit up straight, too? Seriously?

I mean, just slouching? He's got a teenage daughter, by the way. Yeah.

He's kept having kids, yeah. There's a whole bunch. 2,967 people died on 9-11. And probably. Thousands more as a result of the same thing.

They can't be six and nine thousand. Wow, is that right?

So to compare. the sitting president and his administration to Arguably, one of the worst days in American history. It just shows you that this guy is myopic about Trump and he can't talk about anything else. It's a shame because the Tribeca Film Festival was created to bring businesses and people back down to Lower Manhattan, and he has to step on it every time because he's got to bring up Trump, even indirectly, in this case. Yeah, I don't know what he's going to do when Trump's out of office, which I think is going to be two years.

So, Donald Trump is also known to rename things. Got a little Maddie Canada.

Now it's going to be Lake America. There's Norway Gulf of Mexico, there's Gulf of America. That's right. But he's not stopping there. Or are there people following his footsteps?

Imitation is the best form of flattery. I heard that. Brian and South Park, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, they're coming up with this for the show. The creators of South Park have announced a name change ahead of their new season. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, in an apparent nod to President Trump's pension for renaming things America, say they will do the same.

Quote, inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to South America. Season twenty nine of South America starts on the sixteenth.

So, I mean, I think they're going to do it. I mean, I think they're going to do it. And they probably will keep it going. Why not? They've been out since 1997.

I've been watching it since. It's a genuinely funny show. It goes way over the line. But in the end, I think Trump's not going to stop just with the Gulf of America or Lake America. I think the moon, since we're the only.

Country to put human bodies on in the moon, it's going to be Mar Amuno or Moon Amara Lago. Yeah, something like that. Moon Ilago. That's why he's got to land before 2020. Yeah, good point.

On the moon.

So I watch all the Sunday shows, and I always laugh when Senator John Kennedy goes on because a lot of people don't understand how funny he is and the analogy he brings up. And I saw when Senator Kennedy kind of brought things off the rails, and so did you. Absolutely. This was on last Sunday's Meet the Press with Kristen Welker. It was a Labor Day show, so no one was watching.

That's a very good point, yes. But the clips, the viral clips, a lot of people have seen this because here he wrote Chuck Todd in an interview with the aforementioned Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. Listen to this. The Democrats hate Trump so much. That they would that they don't want to spend money on the military.

And that's the way I see it, and you may disagree, but that's what makes life well the world go around. All right, Senator Kennedy, thank you so very much for being here. We really appreciate it. I like you better than Chuck Todd, Chris.

Well, we appreciate your being here very much, Senator. Thank you so much. We love Chuck Todd. You've got better hair, for one thing.

Well, we love Chuck, too. Thank you, Senator. When we come back. Tell me that it isn't great. Oh, she could not get to commercial fast enough.

And I think with John Kennedy, the sentiment that he has about Chuck Todd is shared by a lot of people. You may remember Tim Russert when he hosted that show. Fast. Yeah, easily, one of the best journalists ever. 3.6 million people tuned in to meet the press.

When Chuck Todd took over in his final year, it was all the way down to 2.5 million, 1 million viewers gone. He's as partisan as Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, and now he's doing a podcast from his basement, just like Don Levin and Joe Costa. Congratulations. We all do.

Joe Kacha, thanks so much. Truly appreciate it.

Meanwhile, next. The battle over NIL and college sports is heating up. You want to stay for this one, I think. And one of the leading men leading the charge to fix it, trying to help the president and the country, is Randy Levine of the New York Yankees. He's here to tell us if his program can get a vote in the Senate and maybe the House.

Don't move. Cause we having them good nights. When the club's dry up, pour another vibe up and let it just slide. Do you hear that? That sound, right?

That means that summer's officially here. It means that grown adults just sprint into the street for a frozen dessert shaped like a cartoon. But this summer, Mint Mobile has a better treat. Every plan, including Unlimited, is $15 a month. And unlike ice cream, it won't drip down your wrist or look nothing like the picture.

Does anyone have any cash? Give it a try at mintmobile.com/slash switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required. $15 for the month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. New customer offer for initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes me slow when network is busy.

See terms.

So, college sports have become the Wild West. Millions of dollars in NIL deals, players jumping from school to school, and now you got pros trying to head back to college. I know. Congress says it has a fix. It's called the Bipartisan Protect College Sports Act.

It would create one national set of rules governing NIL, player compensation, transfers and eligibility. And one of the biggest names in college football is now making the sales pitch. That ends the NIL chaos in college athletics. by protecting our student athletes and teams and safeguarding women's sports and Olympic programs. Join the winning team today and help Congress protect this American tradition.

Yep, that's the biggest aim in sports. He's on the committee too.

So is this the bill that finally brings order to college athletics, or does it create a new set of problems? Joining us now is the Vice Chair of President's Roundtable on Fixing College Sports. He's also full-time New York Yankees President Randy Levine. Randy, great to see you. Hey, great to be with you, Brian.

So this reform is going to bring some semblance of order. First off, before we get specific, do you think the Senate's going to take it up? I'm optimistic. I know they're going to take it up. And I'm optimistic, I'm not overconfident, but I feel good about it.

because I think over the last several months, it's become clear That if There is no action. If this bill does not pass, the entire college sports system is going to collapse. Just in the last couple of weeks, we've seen. Schools lose hundreds of millions of dollars, schools diverting money. from uh their Endowments, raising student fees.

Just to keep pace. Just to keep pace. We see payrolls that I think are going to go to $80 million, $90 million. You see incredibly professional athletes moving back into college because they can make more money in college than they can in the NFL. And you keep this whole thing with Lane Kiffen and two players going, getting cut from camp, NFL camps, and coming back.

You think that helps sell the need for reform? I think it does. I think it shows, and it's not only LSU, this is going on everywhere, where professionals are going back into college. And I think people of common sense say Once you become a pro, you should not go back and play in college. 28-year-olds playing against 18 and 19-year-olds isn't fair.

I'm going to throw some things at you just to respond.

Well, national NIL rules.

So there's going to be a clearinghouse.

So we have to clear these companies, right? Yes. It's no more cheating, no more collectives, no more going around the rules. It's going to be tight and it's going to be enforced. Hard limit on school compensation.

This way you have a set salaries, like in every other sport. Yeah, I mean, there's the house settlement, which has a cap of about 20.5, and then 20.5 million per school, and then you're going to have an additional 22 million only to keep your own players, plus $5 million just for women in Olympic sports. Transfers get tougher. You can only transfer one time, right? In five years, yes.

Five years to play. You're going to have five years of college athletics, but you've got five years to play them. That's correct. There'll be a small carve-outs for that. Five years of eligibility, as you mentioned.

And give the NCAA some power to legislate like commissioner in your sport, baseball, and football and all the other sports. Have a commissioner with some power. The NCAA right now has been destroyed in courts. Yes, there's no commissioner. The NCAA will have a limited antitrust exemption so it actually can create and enforce rules with the commissioners of the conference and all the presidents of the university.

Right now, it seems as though most Republicans are on board with this. It looks like you got some Democrats. It looks like you could get to 60. Hope they offer it up. Drew Rosenhaus had joined me because he represents one of the players that wanted to go back to LSU.

And as you know, he's maybe the premier sports agent in football. And now he said, I asked him about college sports reform. You saw this. Here's what he said. As an NFL agent, I kind of like it the way it is.

You know, it is the Wild, Wild West. There's a lot of money being thrown around for these young men. Look, I'm an American. I believe in free enterprise. I like it wide open.

I think players should be able to get their value. I like the system as it is. I don't want any restraints or any more rules.

So, what do you say to Drill? These are student athletes, not professionals. That's the whole point. What he's saying works for professional athletes, but these are student athletes, very few of them. Become professional athletes, they become leaders, and so forth.

So his education. That's right. They get scholarships, they go to school. Can we talk a little Yankees final minute? Yeah, sure.

You didn't do much on the trade deadline, but man, D changed. You had a short 21-year-old George Stop, everyone says, is going to be a superstar in Lombard, and now you have Aaron Judge coming back, second-best record in the American League. Does this feel like a World Series team?

Well, we always thought it was a World Series team. We had a lot of injuries, we hung tight. Our pitching's been great. We did. We got two good players, Elliot Ramos and Luis Garcia, at the trade deadline.

So I think we did. Our series has been big. Yeah, I think we did fine. And health is important. We got big number 99 back, so when he's back, everybody relaxes.

I like our chances. Randy, always great to see you. Great to see you. You're doing great work. Hopefully, this works for college sports.

You're just trying to help.

Now it's time for your peak of the week, Randy. This is what you can look forward to this upcoming week. First off, FBI Director Cash Patel is set to testify about oversight and some other things. You know it's going to be fiery. You know it's going to be a personal attack.

Also, you have a hearing that's going to be chaired by Burgess Owens, former Raider, former Jet, who gets college sports scholarships. He's going to talk about that and what it means in the big picture, especially for those people who don't go pro. Also, three of the president's nominees will get their hearing. That is it for us tonight. I want you to pre-order my book, United States: Six Crucial Moments that Forged the American Miracle: Another Reason to Love This Country at Year 250 and How We Became the Country We Are Today.
