WATCH: @BretBaier goes inside a Beijing convenience store to test out their new humanoid robot worker. It's moving a little slow for now, but with 50 different locations already active, China is making a massive play for AI dominance. | @SpecialReport

Guests today: @BretBaier, @therealBehnamBT, @Lileks, and @Continetti. Plus Election Day in MN and WI: Get out and vote for normies. Enough the El-Sayed/Piker types. We need a functioning Democratic Party. Tune in or @WatchSalemNews

Up next: @noahcrothman. Guests to follow: @BretBaier, @jpodhoretz, @JimTalent, Admiral @MarkCMontgomery (USN, Ret.) and @comfortsblyof the @RuthlessPodcast. Topics today: Iran and American election polling. Both are the scenes of significant destruction.

Thune to colleague Bret Baier on his relationship with Trump: It's strong. It's good. I mean, we have our pointed conversations, and I express my views. He expresses his. Sometimes I'll get a little bit testy and heated. But in the end, we have a job to do and we have an alignment of incentives

🚨THIS IS AN EFFICIENT SYSTEM: Bret Baier in Beijing: “There are cameras everywhere. Our driver parked illegally for 2 minutes and got a $40 ticket. Because they saw it on the camera.” The same surveillance state Trump’s allies call “the future of governance.” The same AI infrastructure Jensen Huang flew to China to discuss. The same data center buildout that’s cutting off 50,000 people in Lake Tahoe from their electricity.

🚨 FOX NEWS ALERT: “Sources confirm to Fox News’ Bret Baier that forces from the United Arab Emirates are carrying out military strikes inside Iran,” says John Roberts. “The UAE forces are directly engaged with the Islamic Republic and have been for several days.” “This comes after Iran launched dozens of missiles and drones at the UAE during the conflict.”

The MVP of the Trump-Xi summit so far has been Fox’s Bret Baier. Walking through wild traffic to frame a shot. Ordering a sausage from a humanoid robot. Reporting on how the Fox crew got ticketed $40 for illegally parking after getting spotted by CCTV camera.
