Mayim Bialik hosted Daryl Anka, who claims to channel an extraterrestrial entity named Bashar, to discuss the upcoming "year of disclosure" in 2026.

A custom-built AI robot named the "Book of Knowledge" has been restored to functionality for the program. During a live demonstration, the robot correctly identified Adam Curry's birth date as September 3, 1964, but incorrectly calculated his age as 62 for the current date of April 12, 2026. The hosts noted that while the flourishes are improved, the AI's mathematical accuracy remains inconsistent.

Megyn Kelly cited recent polling suggesting that President Trump is "underwater" with men, young people, and the working class due to his focus on the Iran war.
