There was a 1 in 625 trillion chance this photo of Lionel Messi bathing baby Lamine Yamal would ever happen. "Families entered a raffle, Barcelona players were assigned by random lottery, and somehow 20 year old Messi ended up pairing with this five month old baby, and that's Lamine Yamal right there." "The probability of this happening says you are more than 2 million times more likely to win the Powerball Jackpot than to have this script play out. It is roughly equivalent to picking one specific second out of 20 million years, 1 in 625 trillion, insane."

Cristiano Ronaldo Says Portugal Was Nothing Before Him Ronaldo: "I won three titles for Portugal. Before Cristiano, Portugal did not win a single title. Honestly for me, Euro 2016 is like winning the World Cup." Vinnie: "There's Messi and then there's Ronaldo. There's no question, he's not even in the same conversation. You think Messi would ever say some crazy stuff like that?" Tom: "To say without me they wouldn't have got anything, that's pure ego, that's not team."

Jude Bellingham Pushes Back Against His Coach After England's Victory England's Coach: "We made life very, very difficult for us. I'm not happy with the performance. We played sloppy, lots of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough. We were lucky today." Jude Bellingham: "Maybe he doesn't know what it's like to play in these kinds of conditions against Erling Haaland, Odegaard, Nusa, Sorloth. That's not an easy team to play against. I think we've tried to create a positive environment. We should continue that going into the final four. I can't speak highly enough for the lads. You're not gonna win every game popping the ball and making 1,000 passes. Sometimes you have to win dirty, and we did that again tonight."

MGK Calls Out Conor McGregor MGK: "We don't age the same. My knees are awesome. Oh you wouldn't say that to his face, I already did. That's why a picture exists of this little leprechaun punching up and missing me, and me not flinching. Where the f*ck is the rest of the footage where we toss this little guy across the red carpet?" Adam: "Does anyone think that if two of these two guys were in a room together that Machine Gun Kelly, who's probably never shot a gun in his life and paints his fingernails pink, would be walking, talking, speaking or living... nobody? This guy is a fake tough guy talking about one of the most decorated, likable, greatest champions of all time in the UFC and MMA."

Rick Ross says Drake isn’t on his level and that Iceman flopped: "Do you put Drake at your level?" Rick Ross: "No. You might be confused with all of the fake numbers, that ain't nothing. If Drake was what he thought he was, he would've been able to clear all this up, address it, and been moved on." "Did you listen to Iceman?" Rick Ross: "It was horrendous. My homies actually sat there. They lost an hour of their life. People put ice blocks in the middle of places and promoted and marketed and the world knew what day it was coming out and then it came out, and really, you know, folded."

YouTube Is Changing the Entire Algorithm "MrBeast’s viewership has dropped 50%. He used to get 400M–900M views, now it’s 60M–120M. Why? Because YouTube controls the knob." "YouTube hit a mark where they said: stop recommending the big popular channels, start recommending the smaller ones."

James Fishback Demands Jay Collins Drops the Lawsuit on Him James Fishback: "Where did I grow up?" Jay Collins: "I think you grew up in a small town in Florida." James Fishback: "I grew up here in Florida right? Alright, case closed. Drop the lawsuit." Jay Collins: "James let me be clear on this, buddy. We're not gonna discuss that." James Fishback: "Why don't we discuss the fact that a Montana man hired a California lawyer to sue Governor Desantis administration to remove a fourth generation Floridian from your ballot? You're trying to steal the election with Byron Donalds." Jay Collins: "Oh my goodness gracious, there you go again James, you're killing me man. The reality is this, that is a matter for the court. I actually respect the judicial system. I know you don't respect the judicial system."

Van Jones: “We don’t know why that man did what he did. And for Charlie Kirk to say ‘we know he did it because she’s white’, when there is no evidence of that is pure rage mongering.” Decarlos Brown: “I got that white girl." No wonder CNN keeps losing credibility.

Former CIA Officer Says Israel Is More Dangerous Than China Andrew Bustamante: "Israel can hack into our cyber systems. They can hack into our core water power grid. Israel is far more capable than China is in terms of cyber capability and we underestimate Israel's capability constantly." PBD: "Do you see them as an ally?" Andrew Bustamante: "I see them as a country that is out for their own best national interests. I don't blame Netanyahu for the decisions that he's been making, cause he's taking actions that are putting Israel in a safer position for the next two to three decades." "There are multiple intelligence surveys out there that talk about how Israel cannot be trusted as an ally to the extent that say, France or Italy or Germany can be. They have to be constantly put at arms length because they have so much capability that they have been trained, given, granted in partnership with us with so few direct threats."

LeBron’s Time in LA Won’t Be Remembered "The last time I rooted for the Lakers was a day before LeBron came to the Lakers. I've never been a fan of the way he built up the NBA." "In my opinion he's the 2nd greatest basketball player of all time. But there's something weird when you see Laker fans across the board celebrating that he's leaving." "He was with the Lakers for 8 years and won 1 championship, and the one he won was the covid one." "There are many memories of Michael Jordan we'll remember, there are not a lot of memories of LeBron we'll remember..."

Rick Ross says 50 Cent doesn’t own his masters and lives in a 2 bedroom apartment. "All I used to tell him is: you can't dress, you're not really getting no money, you don't own your masters." "And I'm not speaking down on him because he lives in a two bedroom apartment, but Eminem saved you, Dr. Dre saved you, all the big names, Rozay did it himself."

NY just became the first state to pause AI data center permits. Banning is the wrong move, here's the fix instead: 1) Build their own power - Data centers should fund their own electrical infrastructure. 2) Allow small modular nukes - During a blizzard or grid emergency, the data center has to switch power back to the grid to help residents. 3) Incentivize next-gen cooling - Offer state credits to companies developing advanced cooling tech to cut water use. 4) Set distance rules, not bans - Require data centers to sit a set distance from populated areas.

Iran May Have Found the World’s Biggest Weakness "This is what Iran just figured out. 97% of the internet that we use travels through underwater cables. $10 trillion a day is going through that cable and 2 of them go through the Strait of Hormuz." "Now they're talking about how they're gonna mess with the cables. If they mess with the cables, guess who's gonna be impacted by this economically? Everybody, the whole world."

Are Flock Cameras Actually Good? Andrew Bustamante: "I understand why people don't like flock cameras, but I am a fan of this type of public surveillance. Because we don't have a right to privacy. We think we do, but it's not actually listed out anywhere. The term right to privacy doesn't exist, but we do have the public expectation of security from our police and from our law enforcement agencies." "So this creates a deterrent to keep right people doing the right thing, and wrong people getting caught. But it also creates a trail of evidence... that can be brought to the table to prosecute people who are charged with breaking the law. If you are a law abiding citizen, you have nothing to fear from these things. It's only if you are speeding, crossing at the red light, robbing somebody, if you're doing something that you don't want to get caught... that's when you don't like it." Sarah Adams: "A lot of people think when there's something like this, someone is sitting and watching it all day, and you really only go into this data when you're looking for a piece of info... I know cops are using it to track their exes, and I said, fire them. So I like it because the more data you have to solve a crime, better."

Why Muslim Voters Shifted Toward Trump Mehdi Hasan: "52% of Muslim Americans said that homosexuality should be accepted in society. You know how many white evangelical Protestants said that? 34%." PBD: "10 countries where homosexuality is a legal punishment: Afghanistan, Saudi, Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, Qatar, Somalia, UAE, Nigeria... I think the reason why the Muslim vote went from 24% to 31% for Trump is because the liberals got so caught in the LGBTQ community." Mehdi Hasan: "At the end of the day, and I say this to Muslim communities, you can't vote based just on religion or just on foreign policy. You cannot be single issue voters. As a Muslim American you need to care about everything in America. You need to care about the economy, you need to care about healthcare, and I think most Muslim Americans do..."

Elon Musk Responds to Jeff Bezos $1 Billion Rocket Explosion "Elon Musk commented: 'Through hardships to the stars.' I love that instead of taking that opportunity to, you know, call him out or do any of that stuff, he gives him a compliment." "Many industry observers are saying at the low end minimum it's a quarter of a billion dollars, upwards of a billion dollars of loss to what happened... but there's gonna be a bunch that was learned. This is the entrepreneurial process."

Did Hitler Fake His Death and Escape to Argentina? Sarah Adams: "I'm not 100%, but I do believe that there is a percentage chance that Hitler did get to, you know like, Argentina or wherever. Just cause he had a lot of relationships and lot of networks. And he knew we were coming, so that's my opinion." Adam Bustamante: "The reason that I go with PSYOP is because there's a lot of value in making people second guess who actually won World War 2. And there's a lot of value in making people think that... some kind of highly charismatic leader's still alive... This is an age old issue all the way back to the Egyptians that there's power in the myth. So Hitler had some pretty powerful mythos." Sarah Adams: "I do know other people who feel that... so many in his circle went there, that there was already a pipeline. There's already relationships. There's already people moving that way. So the pattern makes sense. But I don't have someone that saw Hitler in a hat in Buenos Aires."
