  • Joe Rogan’s Embarrassing Tech Billionaire Worship Hits New Low
    Dec 19 2025

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how Joe Rogan is continuing down the road of worshiping the tech billionaires he has on his podcast, such as Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Mark Zuckerberg and others. It’s a far cry from the “everyman” and “anti-establishment” image he cultivated in the past. JJ reacts to Emma Vigeland and Sam Seder from The Majority Report, who discuss Rogan, and then comedian Tim Dillon talking with Joe Rogan about the Tech Billionaires wanting to start their own sovereign states, or so-called “network states”.

  • Judge’s Tesla 60-Day Ultimatum: Rename Autopilot or Face Sales Ban
    Dec 18 2025

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down the news that a judge in California has ruled that Tesla’s marketing of its “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving” systems was deceptive, and that Tesla’s license to sell and produce cars in the state should be revoked for 30 days. The California DMV has said it will give Tesla 60 days to comply and fix its marketing before going through with the suspension. This news comes at the same that Tesla is beginning to remove in-car safety monitors from its robotaxis in Austin, Texas. Is Tesla’s driving software now safe enough to operate fully autonomous robotaxis?

  • Why All-In Podcast Tech Billionaires Don't Get the AI Backlash (ft. Tucker Carlson)
    Dec 17 2025

    John Johnston (JJ) reacts to a controversial segment of the All-In Podcast featuring guest Tucker Carlson. Hosts Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, and David Sacks attempt to diagnose the rising anti-AI sentiment among the general public. As Silicon Valley insiders, the "Besties”, along with Carlson, discuss the cultural backlash against Artificial Intelligence, why the public feels threatened, and what the tech industry should do about it.


    JJ breaks down their arguments to answer the key question: Do these tech billionaires actually understand the fear surrounding AI, or are they completely out of touch with the reality facing everyday people in society?
