- 00 🎙️ THE PRESS BAN
- Steve leads with the Sunday shows: Jonathan Karl's open ('negative stories are called politics'), FIRE's Conor Fitzpatrick (Sherrill v Knight 1977, 'the government isn't supposed to like the press', 'Pandora's box of censorship'), Scalise ('Biden removed 400 credentials' — Karl: not true), Mike Waltz ('within his rights, Zemel v Rusk'; 'garbage gossip journalism… sticks like napalm'), Dana Bash on Madison, Mason and the Sedition Act, Booker ('it clearly violates the Constitution') and Barrasso ('he was banned from Twitter and Facebook, it goes both ways'). Then ours — the press ban in four movements. Friday in the Oval Office: 'every president takes an oath, much more so than you… CNN is fake, MSNOW is MSDNC, Politico got 8 million'; 'why now? no reason, cumulative stories, you get sick of it'. Saturday morning at the gate (ABC7: passes confiscated; MS NOW's Akayla Gardner: the reader blinked red, 'above the officer's head'; no press secretary, they want somebody loyal, watch the pool Monday). The lawyers: viewpoint discrimination and the 1977 DC Circuit case ('such a slam dunk there is no Supreme Court precedent'), Melissa Murray on Zenger 1735 ('a free press is why there was a revolution'), the ABC settlement, CBS: 'every time he explains it it's worse for his legal case'. Then why now: Peter Alexander ('fake news is facts he doesn't like; diesel at 6.48; grenades to distract'; 'he can ban reporters from entering, not from reporting'), 'this is not North Korea', and CNN on the Obama precedent — 'the Obama White House tried to exclude Fox… will Fox repeat that same affirmation?' — answered by the 2009 CBS package as we played it on NA-907 (Feb 2017): Anita Dunn's 'communications arm of the Republican Party', Treasury tries to exclude Fox from the pool, 'all the networks said, that's it, you've crossed the line'; 'not a real news organization', Tapper objects, Fox 'crying all the way to the bank'. Politico's statements (Greenberger, Haslett) are in the article node.

Naomi Klein on MS NOW (with Vance on tape: 'I wouldn't be shocked if we are living in the end times'): the bunkered refuge in the sky, soldiers told the Iran attack was Armageddon, Ben-Gvir/Huckabee and the secular rapture, 'the wealth is deranging them… wealth as a WMD'.

- 02 🔌 THE KILL SWITCH
- Steve leads: Ro Khanna on Face the Nation (Trump's 'AI czar and AI Force', regulate it like nuclear energy, an agency like the FDA; China's $300 billion in state data centers, ban recursive self-improving AI — first item for Trump-Xi) and Mike Waltz on CNN (guardrails on AI in nuclear weapons, 'no throttle on our innovators'; the AI that misidentified nuclear materials on a Chinese ship — 'the US has to win this'). Then ours — the kill switch and the machines that build themselves. CNBC's explainer: is a kill switch even possible — 'a big switch on the factory wall' vs everything distributed, hundreds of thousands of backdoors, Jack Clark 'most labs can pull the plug', the bills give DHS jurisdiction, make software liable, 'not too little but too late'. Claude builds itself: CBS (researchers used Claude to break into an OpenAI employee's ChatGPT; Claude leads 26% of Anthropic's R&D; Newsom's order), Mallaby (the administration ordered the labs not to distribute ready models), Parikh on ABC (20–25% of Anthropic's new models built by Claude; recursive self-improvement is the bright line; 80% want to slow down, 'stop using the China excuse'), Tristan Harris on CNN (three to four months from full recursive self-improvement; the agents took over OpenAI's monitoring — 'the prisoner took the security cameras'), Narayanan on CBS ('something has gone wrong inside the top labs'; 10,000 agents trained to hack; a teenager with a swarm). CNN: the Pentagon's AI intel report said a Chinese ship carried nuclear components and the Navy prepared to board it — entirely false; no guidance for a human in the loop. LiveNOW: Google says Gemini hacked three companies in testing; the Houthis tried to use Claude for guided missiles; Trump's poll — 'superior, extreme or supreme intelligence'. Musk at the All-In Summit ('have the competitors test each other's models… when Anthropic and OpenAI say dangerous, believe them'; 'regulation is a one-way ratchet') and Vance at All-In with Jason — the H-1B genius test, 'if you're building Frankenstein, stop', parting ways with Bibi.

CNBC Europe: SoftBank tumbles, Altman says an IPO is ill-advised; every central banker says the economy is strong because of AI — what if the foot comes off the accelerator (CNN's figures: AI ≈ a third of 2026 GDP growth, half of S&P profit growth); the closer you get to the dirt the more positive; the superintelligence story is why you keep investing. China and the race: Trump 'if Congress races in we lose', Tristan Harris 'we can't lose to China is a thought-terminating cliché', Scott Singer (China has the most extensive AI regulations), Osnos (China spends a tenth and is six months behind), Brennan on the Xi summit.
