DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT THE ENHANCED GAMES..
Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. spent millions to create a steroid Olympics.
They promised to "redefine human limits" and put up $25M in prize money.
After 5 hours in Las Vegas, here’s the scoreboard:
- 1 world record (not recognized by anyone)
- Thor Björnsson failed his 515kg deadlift (managed only 475kg)
- olympic sprinter Fred Kerley missed the 100m WR by 0.4s - without even taking drugs
- the only "record" came from a Greek swimmer who finished 5th at Paris 2024. He wore a supersuit banned since 2009 and beat the clean record by just 0.07s
the whole pitch was that drugs would shatter the limits of clean sport.
instead they proved the gap between juiced and clean is now 7 hundredths of a second - in a suit banned 17 years ago.
the only thing they actually proved was how good the clean athletes already are.
You think the Enhanced Games exposed anything or just embarrassed themselves?
Mike Tirico told me his secret.
It wasn't talent.
It wasn't luck.
It was what he does on every flight home.
A few years ago, I met him at a restaurant bar in Indianapolis during the Big Ten tournament. One of the biggest voices in sports.
He didn't lead with his résumé. He introduced himself. He asked questions. He cared about every person in the room before anyone cared about him.
Eventually, I asked him what made him great.
He said after every game he calls, on the flight home, he pulls up the broadcast and watches it back.
Listens to his own voice. Hunts for the misses. The dead air. The calls he wishes he could have over.
Every game. Twenty-plus years in.
He wasn't born world-class. He worked his way there one flight at a time.
The best in any room are usually the ones still grading themselves the hardest.
World-class isn't a personality.
It's a habit.
Vance: There was a moment in the Oval Office, I wasn't even in there, but Trump was talking to Kaitlan Collins. Trump says, 'Why don't you ever smile?' And it's actually, like, so perceptive. Have some fun.
If the people doing this, from
@elonmusk
on down, are honest about their intentions, they should have zero problem publishing EVERYTHING they are doing on a daily basis i absolutely want to see @Doge
reduce wasteful spending. But i want the process to be transparent..
I don't want to have to guess which media reports are accurate or not.
If this is the result of a detailed plan. I want to see the plan.
If this is legal. I want to see the law that supports it. If there are questions about whether it is, I want to see the opposition.
This isn't a shock and awe attack on foreign soil. This is a shock and awe attack on American Systems and Economics. That doesn't mean it shouldn't happen.
But if it should, then it should be 100 pct transparent. If they hide anything, they are doing it wrong. If they hide anything, that means the goals is not the interest of the American People. We were promised transparency. We should see everything
