I would encourage everyone to put yourself back precisely one year ago. Remember where your head was last October. The election was uncertain. We were facing the prospect of seeing our beloved country circle the drain for the last time. Whatever direction you might look, you could only see...

CNN’s Kristen Holmes: “I just want to point out one thing before we get into the power and influential person that Charlie Kirk was..not just a political activist. He was also a father and a husband. And you have to remember something when you talk about Donald Trump's campaign and the team that got him elected, it was a very small, very tight knit group of people. It was loyalists, people who were gathered around Donald Trump working in and out every day. And Charlie Kirk was part of that movement. So, when you're talking to these White House advisers and staffers and friends of the President, it's not just them looking at the death of an icon and a movement leader, as we've heard, it's also them looking at the death of a very close friend and somebody they spent an enormous amount of time with...[T]hat's why you're seeing such a sadness and a disbelief from so many people close to the President. And when it comes to talking strictly about his influence and his power within Washington, I mean, one of the things to keep in mind here is that this is somebody who had a direct line to President Trump who could voice his objections to President Trump at times, he could voice what he thought was important and not being covered enough by the administration. He spoke to many, if not all, of the cabinet secretaries directly. He had a finger on the pulse of the MAGA movement, even more so than some people who are here in Washington who got government positions. If you look at the crowd that had gathered around Kirk, that was just one example of the kind of crowds that Kirk would draw. He was truly a movement leader, as we've heard. He would bring thousands and thousands of people together, and that was why he was so critical beyond just the personal to the campaign to President Trump...So, there are a lot of different levels of all of this. The influence, the power, the — the connection to the base, but also the family and the relationships that Charlie Kirk had built with all of the Trumps. We have seen the children responding each individually about their relationships with Charlie Kirk saying to pray for him and his family.”

Stirring words from Secretary Rubio: "How do you remember? This is a memorial service to honor him, how do you best remember? I'll take the liberty of saying what we can best do. I think he had a tremendous impact on young Americans in general. I think he had a very special and direct impact on young men in this country, that's one of the greatest of elements I've seen. It's been very positive. I think we remember him for that. I think we remember him for constantly saying you want to live a productive life, get married, start a family, love your country. These are powerful messages. But I hope many who are watching, I imagine there people watching here tonight that didn't know much about Charlie Kirk until 11 days ago. Maybe they were disengaged in politics, may be partially engaged. I hope one of the things that they take from this is the movement that Charlie Kirk led and started and gave few will to was about politics but not only about politics. It was deeper. It was broader and I would say taking the liberty but I am confident he would agree, one of the things he wants us to take away from this, from all of this is to follow Him. His deep belief that we were all created, every single one of us before the beginning of time by the hands of the God of the universe and are powerful god who loved us and created us for the purpose of living with Him in eternity. But then sin entered the world and separated us from Our Creator. God took on the form of a man and came down and lived among us and He suffered like men and He died like a man but on the third day he rose unlike any mortal man. And to prove any doubters wrong, he ate with his disciples so he could see and they touched his wounds. He did not rise as a ghost or spirit but His flesh. And then he rose to the heaven but He promised he would return and He will and when He returns, because He took on the death, because He carried the cross, we were free from the sin that separated us from him. When He returns, there will be a new heaven, and to Earth and we will all be together and we are going to have a great reunion there again with Charlie and all the people that we love."

Marissa Mayer on scaling Google and the internal black market CEO Eric Schmidt created for new hires “One of the things that [former Google CEO Eric Schmidt] talked about a lot was that at every order of magnitude, you should expect every process to break—and you should expect to have to completely reinvent it. It’s very different to deal with tens of people versus hundreds of people versus thousands of people” Marissa shares a story of how one time Eric reinvented Google’s hiring process in a way that initially frustrated everyone: “We had closed the year at about 200 people, and we had a plan to double the size of the company over the coming year. Eric showed up in March, looked at the plan, and said: ‘there’s just no way you guys are going to be able to double the number of employees and keep the quality and culture the way you want it to be.’” Eric then told the company that he would let them collectively hire 50 people that year—versus the 200 they were planning on hiring. And to enforce this, he created 50 laminated dollar bills with Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s faces on them and distributed them to Google’s VPs. Every new hire that year would require one “Larry & Sergey” bill. Naturally, a black market for these “Larrys & Sergeys” developed, and as Marissa describes, it became surprisingly efficient: “What would happen is the Head of Sales would have one and he would really need a new feature to make a sale. So he would [say to the engineer]: ‘look, I’m going to give you this Larry & Sergey but you have to promise you’re going to use it to hire someone who is going to build this feature to secure this revenue.’” She continues: “As painful as it was because there was way too much work to slow down our hiring like this, [the new process] was actually a really good moment for the company because it made us be really thoughtful about how we were scaling and where we were putting our resources. We had to be that much more thoughtful about what to prioritize and where the opportunities were. Yes, hypergrowth is really fun, but you also need to realize that you want that hypergrowth to happen in terms of users and revenue—and not necessarily in terms of the size of the company.”

My cousins and my brother and I were exploring Coney Island, we saw the sights, hung out at the arcades and before we went back to the apartment we decided to go and get something to eat, we had some money on us but not much so we decided to see what we could get at one of the vendors. This was back in the early 90’s when most of them had dollar slices of pizza wherever we went. So we got 4 pieces of pizza, should have been $4 because that’s the price we were used to. The guy wanted to charge us $24 at $6 a slice. We argues with him because one of my cousins already took a bite being so hungry. But at the least we owed $4. We gave the other slices back and refused them but had to pay for the partially eaten one, it was embarrassing that an adult would try that on a bunch of kids. We told our uncle what happened and he went back and yelled at the vendor. He was familiar with them because he used to get slices all the time from the same guy and he never charged my uncle that price. I couldn’t imagine paying that exurban amount, like this guy who was being charged $54 for a hotdog by one of the vendors. At first he thought it was a typo and it was $5.40 but the vendor. Learned it up when he said no it was $54. Would you have paid that amount? I would have walked away, clearly he was trying to possibly scam a the man for looking like a tourist. Part of the experience when visiting a new area is the street food but it’s becoming more and more a chore avoiding places like this.

Marc Andreessen on what made Steve Jobs great “There’s basically two stories about Steve you hear. One is that he was a saint and perfect in all regards, which was somewhat true. The other story that you hear is he was a screaming lunatic and would just run around, yell at people in elevators, fire people in meetings, and all these awful, horrible things… I think the reality was somewhere in the middle.” Marc continues: “At least what I saw — and what I’ve heard from people who worked with him for a very long time — was he was absolutely intolerant of anything less than first class work. If you brought him first class work, and you were top in your field, super diligent, on top of everything, had all the details figured out, and knew what you were doing, he was the best manager you were ever going to work with and the best CEO you were ever going to work with. And the thing that comes up from people who worked with him closely was, ‘I did the best work of my life working for him.’ Part of that is because he really appreciated and understood the quality of great work. And the other part was he didn’t tolerate anything less than that, which meant that everybody around you also hit that bar.” People forget though that Steve matured a lot along the way too. He had failures like the Lisa, which came before the Macintosh, and of course, he was fired before coming back to Apple 12 years later. “He learned a lot from the failures,” Marc explains. “And now everyone has forgotten about the failures, but you can read about them on Wikipedia.” Marc believes it was the 12 years he spent building NeXT and Pixar where Steve learned to be a great CEO before coming back to Apple: “People who knew him better than I did said he learned how to be a great CEO, not at Apple, but at NeXT, because he spent 12 years doing it the hard way where he wasn’t being showered with praise. He didn’t have the magic touch. The product fundamentally didn’t take. He had to pivot.” Marc tells a great story of Steve insisting on the NeXT computer being a perfect cube even though it would double the cost. He got his cube, but it was slow, expensive, and completely flopped: “Nobody wanted it. He pivoted the company to software. Nobody wanted the software… Anyway, the point is that was really hard… He had to try to figure out how to optimize it the hard way and retain a team through basically 12 years of failure.” Marc concludes: “People say he had this incredible growth and innovation skillset from Apple phase one. And then he had an incredible management skillset from the sort of wilderness years. And so by the time he came back to Apple in 1997 he at that point a great CEO, but maybe he wouldn’t have ever become the Steve Jobs that we know had he not gone through the hard period.” Video source: a16z speedrun 🧊 (2025)

Longtime CNN correspondent Nic Robertson becomes emotional describing the blood-stained scene in Re'im, the site of the music festival where Hamas terrorists murdered hundreds, took people hostage, and raped women. "[W]e saw the line of cars and how they were shot up and how they were strewn across the road as people were trying to — trying escape and trying to save their lives and drive away. And — and next to that was one of those rocket shelters. There’s one just here, but there was one just there. And I went to have a look, and there were torn-up shoes outside and I could see bloodstains. And as I — as I went inside and this is why I wanted to speak it now because it — you know, being there, I'm trying to be professional and I’m trying to tell a story and bear witness to the barbarity and the callous, cruel, cold-blooded killing that Hamas was — was ripping on those poor, innocent young people. But that — listening to that conversation you were having there with John Kirby, it puts me at mind to explain physically what we saw. So, let me explain because the smell when you step into a shelter is kind of what hits you first. And you realize that this stuff on the floor is what you fear it is. It — it — it’s — it’s blood and you realize in an instant looking at the strewn shell casings on the floor, looking at the bullet holes in the concrete in front of you and you’re sort of — you can understand what happened that people were used to going to these shelters for safety and security from Hamas rockets and when Hamas was chasing them, they were hoping there was safety and security in these concrete bunkers. And, of course, there wasn't because we — we could see what happened. Hamas had gone in there with guns and — and quite literally shot them — this is a deployment of military hardware going by. I'm going to pause. Had — had quite literally shot them in calculated, cold blood as they were cowering there on the floor and the blood’s on the wall and the blood’s on the ceiling and the bullet holes are in the concrete wall. And you — you know in that instant how horrible and how terrible it was. And your conversation brought that back."

President Trump to WHCA president/CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang Jiang: “We'll do a couple, and then we go to the chief – Madam Chairman, I just want to say you did a fantastic job. What a beautiful evening. And we're going to reschedule. [APPLAUSE] And after that, it's very tough for her to ask a killer question. Right. But you have done a fantastic job. Please. Jiang: “Mr. President, I appreciate it. As you mentioned, it all happened so quickly and I wonder, especially because unfortunately you have experience with these sorts of threats in that moment when you realize there was a threat and Service agents were telling us to get down. Can you describe what was going through your mind, how you were feeling in that moment? Trump: “It's a very good question, actually. It was -- it's always shocking when something like this happens. It happened to me a little bit and that never changes. The fact we're sitting right next to each other, the First Lady on my right, and I heard a noise and sort of thought it was a tray. I thought it was a tray going down. I've heard that many times, and it was pretty loud noise, and it was from quite far away. He hadn't breached the area at all. They really got him, but – so it was quite far away. But it was a gun. And some people really understood that pretty quickly. Other people didn't. I was watching to see what was happening. Probably should have gone down even faster. Melania was very cognizant, I think, of what happened. I think she knew immediately what happened. She was saying, that's a bad noise. And, we were whisked away along with other people, but we were really whisked away. And again, the performance of the secret service and the police, all of the law enforcement, I thought was really good. So, it was very quick. There wasn't a lot of time to be thinking, because it was a matter of seconds before we were out the door and gone into an area we very much. And you wanted to too – you very much wanted to continue it because I don't like to let these sick people, these thugs, these horrible, horrible people change the fabric of our life, change the course of what we do. So, we held out. You were there. We held out right till the end. But they didn't want to take a chance. And I understand it was protocol, but we're going to be doing one hopefully within the next 30 days or sooner. And I am ready, willing and able. And I was all set to really rip it. And I said to my people, this would be the most inappropriate speech ever made if I said – so I'll have to save it. I don't know if I can ever be as rough as I was going to be tonight. I think I'm going to be probably very nice. I'll be very boring the next time, but we're going to have a great event. And you did a fantastic job. Thank you very much.”

CNN’s David Axelrod: “We can go one of two ways in this country. We can, embrace this notion that somehow we're at war and where there'll be more killing and more violence. Or we can learn from this moment. I — you mentioned history. I was a kid when, we went through a period of assassination in the 1960s. I remember when Martin Luther king was killed. Robert Kennedy went onto the streets of Indianapolis. He was a candidate for president at that time and it was very, very dangerous, frankly, for him to be out there. But he insisted on going, and he spoke to the crowd and he finished and I wanted to share this. He finished with a poem by Aeschylus, the ancient Greek poet. And it was, “even in our sleep pain which cannot forget falls drop by, drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” The question is, have we seen enough to embrace wisdom here and recognize that this is not a path that we want to go as a country? And let's be clear, I heard what those folks said. We've had political assassinations of Democrats and Republicans of the left and the right. This is not something that is exclusive to one or the other, but I will say, if we continue to embrace this notion that if we disagree that we're not only political opponents, but you are an enemy, you are an evil. You want to destroy the country. You want to destroy our way of life. That is a prescription for disaster.”

One of the top stories on X right now Jim Carrey appearing nearly ‘unrecognizable’ with many saying it doesn’t look or sound like him Remember, The CIA Chief Of Disguise confirms they make and use “Full Face Masks” to “Walk around as someone else” They switch people out “I was Chief of Disguise. The office I worked in was like the Q in James Bond. We were the Q for the CIA and the intelligence community. So there were different parts of it, whatever you needed. ‌ If you needed a bug, if you needed secret writing or a microdot or a concealment device or whatever you needed, you had to come to us and we'll put something together for you. Okay. What's the most memorable moment from being in disguise for you? Um, there were a number of them, but the one I mean, one that has to stand out, I went to the White House and I briefed George H. W. Bush, the president, at the time while I was wearing a full face mask. ‌ So we're sitting, like, this close together, and I'm telling him that I'm gonna show him the best disguise that we have. And he's looking for a bag, like, where where is it? I said, well, I'm wearing it, and I'm going to take it off. And I reached to start taking it off, and he said, stop. And he got up and he walked and he looked and he looked at it. ‌ He couldn't he didn't know it was a mask. He wasn't sure what I was wearing. He sat back down. He said, okay. So I took it off. ‌ And I was holding it up in the air so he could see it, my whole head. It had hair and a face and a neck. So you could walk around as someone else? Absolutely. And that would be the disguise. ‌ Absolutely.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is now claiming that Charlie Kirk’s “rhetoric” was racist...and not only did she vote against the House resolution to honor him, she’s furious that MORE Democrats didn’t do the same. She’s now openly attacking the “Caucasians” in her own party who supported the resolution. What a sick and vile human being. “One of the things I do want to point out that’s not been laid out, that honestly hurts my heart, is when I saw the no votes, there were only two caucasians.” “For the most part, the only people that voted no were people of color.” “Because the rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out, there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color.” “And so it is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was specifically to us.” “And I can tell you that a month prior to him passing away, he had actually gotten out on his podcast, I wasn’t aware of this at the time, but he got out there and he was talking negatively about me directly.” “So if there was any way that I was going to honor somebody who decided that they were just going to negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the great white replacement, yeah, I’m not honoring that kind of stuff.” “So to me, just like we wanted to make sure that those confederate relics were taken down, the idea of a new age relic being propped up was something that I just could not subscribe to, and it is unfortunate that more of my colleagues, even on my side of the aisle, could not see the the amount of harm that this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities.” Disgraceful.
