I'm David Rothkoff. I'm joined by Riley Fester and Middestine. And we're going to give you the world in the blink of an eye. So blank, somebody. I'm blinking.

To our audio. Okay. Blink. Blink. I am as well.

Okay.

Well, why don't you start telling a story?

Do you know something? Pakistan has delivered a US proposal to Iran aimed at de-escalating the ongoing conflict with Pakistan and Turkey identified as potential venues for future diplomatic discussions. The reported a 15-point framework seeks an end to Iran's nuclear enrichment in missile programs, even as the Pentagon prepares for a potential ground assault by deploying a thousands of additional troops to the Gulf.

While an anonymous source suggested Tehran might consider the proposal, Iranian officials have publicly and constantly denied that any negotiations are taking place with the Trump administration. Who knows what's going on? But if I were the Iranians, and I were dealing with the guy who pulled out of the deal that they did in 2015 with the Obama administration for other countries,

I would think, what good is a deal with the Americans?

And if I were the Americans, and I saw how the Iranians have treated past deals, I would question it too. So getting to a deal is a question, but keeping the deal is also a question. And frankly, sending in thousands of troops is not the best negotiating tactic since during the negotiations that this administration was undertaking. Previously, these past few months, in order to have a nuclear deal, and much as happened last year, this administration negotiates, and then in the middle of negotiations attacks, it's a pattern, it's happened twice.

So I have to say I'm a little confused about what's going to happen. That's going to be the subject of Deep State Radio's next episode. So stand by for that. What's next, madam? Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats rejected a Republican proposal back by Donald Trump to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security,

while excluding key funding and reforms for ICE. Democrats said they will submit a counter-offered demanding stricter oversight of ICE arguing reforms are necessary to address concerns about enforcement practices. Negotiations remain stalled as disagreements persist and Trump adds new conditions, prolonging the partial government shutdown.

It's bad, and it's hurting travelers right now, and sending ICE into the airports. This stand around it, do nothing, isn't helping anything. But we are probably going to get to a solution on this thing sooner rather than later, because the airport thing isn't tolerable. Delta Airlines yesterday shut down the desk where it provides special services to Congress people

at a part of their frustration for all of this. And as we saw the Guardian, there are other bigger fish to fry, bigger problems with our whole air traffic control system.

The administration knows this is on them.

It's not in the Democrats no matter what the talking points they do on Foxes.

So I expect more negotiations in some kind of deal.

One last point, the Trump offers, in the past few days, reforms that ICE have included things like, "We won't break into people's houses illegally without warrants." If your offer is, we're going to follow the law and respect the Constitution. That's kind of pretty low bar for offers, right? We're going to do what we have to do.

We're going to do the thing that we don't get us into trouble with in court. You know, they haven't been serious. Let's see how serious they get. There is a positive sign, which is apparently some of the ICE folks in the airports are not wearing masks, which is a step towards a civilized society small, small step.

Right? Democrat Emily Gregory secured an upset victory in a special election for Florida's district 87 State House seat, defeating a Trump-backed Republican at John Maples in the district housing Marlago. This result represents a dramatic political shift from 2024 when a Republican won the same district by a significant 19-point margin.

Despite high-profile endorsements from Maples from President Trump and congressman Byron Donalds, Gregory is when it continues a recent trend of democratic success in special elections since the start of 2025. Great land, great symbolism, great fuck you to Trump. He voted in the election via mail, of course, because he's such a hypocrite. And it's terrific that he will be represented in the Florida legislature by a Democrat.

Big warning sign, lots of articles today saying this is a warning sign about where things are going for the midterms. May that be the truth. And up.

We love to see Florida winning as they almost never do.

Yeah, you're a Florida refugee. You've turned your back on Florida.

I'm not even sure you should be allowed to comment on Florida anymore, given that you've rejected them.

When they do the right thing, we have to call it out because they so often do the wrong thing. So it's important to highlight them doing the right thing. Yeah, no, it's true. Usually they elect some alligator wrestler to these jobs. So this is a step forward.

Or like mac gates or someone. Did you ever, when you were growing up there, do you ever wrestle alligators or anything?

Never wrestled an alligator.

No. But often we would have alligators at school to call animal control. They would come to the world down there. Like manating dinosaurs would wander the halls of your school. Yeah, they just like wander there accidentally.

And then the school would call animal control. And they'd come get the alligator and put it somewhere else. That's insane. Who would one of it? Like does anybody have a small dog?

No, because the dogs get eaten by the alligator's, right?

Cats, babies, joggers. Florida's insane. Please, let's go on to the next story. Okay. We'll move on to something else equally as upsetting.

A federal judge expressed skepticism that the Trump administration acted on legitimate national security grounds. When it banned anthropic from government use.

Suggesting the move may have been retaliatory and a potential first amendment violation.

Anthropic sued after being labeled a "supply chain risk" arguing that arguing the unprecedented designation. Typically used for foreign adversaries. Has already cost the company hundreds of millions and could lead to billions in losses. The government claims the restriction is necessary to prevent potential future sabotage of military operations. While anthropic counters that such risks are technically impossible.

And that the action is unjustified overreach. Anthropic will win. You know, it's not often that we get a chance to root for a big AI company. But you got a root for them here because what the government did is wrong. And what the government did was in service of trying to have no guardrails on AI,

which as you can easily imagine will lead to violations of international law, autonomous weapons platforms out there attacking people at their own judgment without human beings being involved. Other kinds of abuses including surveillance of American citizens using AI, which is something that the defense department specifically wanted in bounds for their deal here.

The sooner the courts come in, the harder the courts hit them, the better.

Of course every time they do this, the DOD and others come up with some other evil scheme. This happened just in the past few days when a court said, "Oh, you can't kick out media companies that you don't like the coverage from."

Because it's a violation of the First Amendment.

And so they said, "Well, okay, maybe we'll kick out everybody." They are so anti-first Amendment, so anti-constitution, so anti-uters personal rights.

You have to realize that for the first time in American history, one of the biggest threats that you face here in the United States is your own department of defense.

Not to mention your own commander, chief, obviously. The story, Riley, sticking on the AI topic. Open AI has announced the shutdown of its social media Sora less than a year after its viral launch was too bad. Sorry, you worried, I'm saying that to create all our podcasts.

Which was launched as a competitor to short form video platforms like TikTok.

I mean, wasn't men created on Sora, isn't men out like, isn't an AI agent? She is an AI agent, exactly. Hey, eyes getting so good these days. If you do say so yourself, but...

The decision follows intense scrutiny from advocacy groups and experts regarding the proliferation of AI Slop, including realistic deepfakes and non-consensual images.

Although the app initially secured high profile partnerships with companies like Disney, which wasn't saying to me when they announced that. But that's neither in or there.

Open AI was forced to implement strict content crackdowns following backlash from actors, unions, and the estates of public figures.

Yeah, and Sora, but did blaze some real trails and, you know, exciting videos with people with 11 fingers and 14 toes and two noses. I mean, you know, these are early days for AI, and we are, you know, on the verge of absolutely undetectable deepfakes in video and other forms. Which, by the way, we discussed in an upcoming, in the next few days, episode of Siliconjustice. We did two yesterday, one, one live yesterday, another is going to live in a few days, and it is on how deepfakes are being used to scam people.

So you got to what? Listen to that. You're interested more on the war in the Gulf from expert perspectives.

We've got a deep state radio coming later today. We've got another deep state radio coming tomorrow.

I mean, a words matter, DSR's words matter with normal and steam coming tomorrow. And we've got a couple of special guests, Jen Welsh, from the I've had it podcast on need to know. And on Friday, we've got representative Adam Smith, on need to know. And apparently, somebody's trying to start another podcast with the name need to know the people at Lincoln Square. We've sent them a little bit of a polite note. We're not getting all jersey about this just yet.

Suggesting that they stop with their new podcast that has the name of our podcast that's been around a long time. But if you feel inclined to send them a note and saying, "Bug off." I like my need to know DSR network style. Feel free. Go ahead. We'd love it. Okay. Until next time, thanks, Riley. Thanks, bot. See you soon. Bye. What do you want to say about your new podcast?

But what I want to say is that you don't want to be a student. The masterwriter has been taught by the software, the internet. So master, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry, you can't say that. You're a master, right? But you don't understand.

I'm not. I'm a master. I'm a master. I'm a master. I'm a master. And if you work, you'll be able to do it. - That's right. - Save. How do you do that?

"Holy Dangle" is a trick. Now, you can try it out.
