Luke and Andrew are both tempted by a new phone that's being hyped at the CES tech show and that has them reminiscing about their Blackberries of old. Luke also went back to his own reporting from 2004 to fact check himself, and he didn't like the results.
SHOW1-8-2026THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT THE SARCASTIC INVENTION, THE DON-ROE DICTRINE..SPHERES OF INFLUENCE AND THE RETURN OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Anatol Lieven argues that "spheres of influence" have returned, with the US reasserting the Monroe Doctrine in the Western Hemisphere and threatening to seize Greenland. Unlike traditional alliances, this approach risks alienating fellow democracies. Lieven contrasts this with Russia's territorial ambitions in the former Soviet Union and China's historic regional goals. NUMBER 1COLD WAR TACTICS: THE SEIZURE OF A RUSSIAN TANKER Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Lieven discusses the US Navy's detention of a Russian-flagged ship in the North Atlantic, viewing it as a dangerous escalation akin to piracy. This move humiliates Moscow and aims to control oil supplies. Lieven warns that if European nations mimic these seizures, Russia may retaliate violently, risking a direct war. NUMBER 2THE SUPREME COURT AND THE MYTH OF THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Richard Epstein challenges the view that the Roberts Court blindly supports a "unitary executive." He argues the Court is correctly questioning the constitutionality of independent administrative agencies, like the FTC, which insulate officials from presidential removal. Epstein contends that relying on case counts ignores the specific legal merits regarding separation of powers. NUMBER 3TRUMP V. ILLINOIS: LIMITING PRESIDENTIAL POWER OVER THE NATIONAL GUARD Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Discussing a recent unsigned Supreme Court order, Epstein notes the Court upheld a decision preventing the President from deploying the National Guard without a governor's consent. This ruling contradicts claims of judicial bias toward the executive, affirming that the President cannot simply declare an emergency to override state sovereignty. NUMBER 4ONE YEAR LATER: ANGER AND STAGNATION AFTER THE PALISADES FIRE Colleague Jeff Bliss, Pacific Watch. A year after the Palisades fires, Jeff Bliss reports that residents remain angry over government inaction. Rebuilding is stalled by the Coastal Commission's strict regulations, and fuel loads in canyons remain high due to environmental restrictions on brush clearing. The fires, driven by Santa Ana winds, highlight systemic bureaucratic failures in Los Angeles. NUMBER 5#SCALAREPORT: AI AND ROBOTICS DOMINATE CES Colleague Chris Riegel, CEO of Scala.com. Reporting from CES, Chris Riegel highlights the dominance of AI and robotics, from household droids to military applications. While the tech sector booms with massive infrastructure spending, Riegel warns of a "K-shaped" economy where Main Street struggles with softening demand, masking the wealth concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers. NUMBER 6LANCASTER COUNTY: AMISH SPENDING AND DATA CENTER GROWTH Colleague Jim McTague, Author and Former Barron's Editor. Jim McTague reports that the Lancaster County economy remains robust, evidenced by heavy Amish spending at Costco and thriving local businesses like Kegel's Produce. Despite some local protests, data centers are being built on old industrial sites. McTague sees no need for Fed rate cuts given the stable local economy. NUMBER 7THE NUCLEAR ESCROW: MANAGING PROLIFERATION AMONG ALLIES Colleague Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Henry Sokolski warns that allies like Poland, Turkey, and South Africaare considering nuclear weapons due to eroding trust in US guarantees. He proposes a "nuclear escrow" account: storing refurbished warheads in the US for allies to deploy only during crises, providing leverage without permanently stationing targets on foreign soil. NUMBER 8THE SIEGE OF 717 AND THE VOLCANO OF THERA Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. In 717 AD, Arab forces besieged Constantinople but failed due to the city's massive walls and "Greek fire." Professor Watts explains that a subsequent volcanic eruption in Thera was interpreted as divine punishment for the empire's sins, leading to a spiritual crisis and the rise of iconoclasm to appease God. NUMBER 9THE STUPIDITY OF SUCCESSORS: MANUEL AND ANDRONICUS Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Manuel Komnenos favored grand gestures over systemic stability, weakening the Roman state. His successor, Andronicus, was a nihilistic sadist whose tyranny and family infighting destabilized the empire. Watts details how the refusal to punish rebellious family members created a culture of impunity that eventually led to a violent overthrow. NUMBER 10THE CRUSADES: FROM COOPERATION TO CONFLICT Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Relations between East and West collapsed during the Crusades. While the First Crusade cooperated with Rome, the Second and Third turned hostile, with Crusaders seizing territory rather than returning it. Watts notes that the theological schism of 1054 and cultural distrust entrenched this division, setting the stage for future betrayal. NUMBER 111204: THE SACK OF CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE END OF CONTINUITY Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. The Fourth Crusade, diverted by Venetian debt, sacked Constantinople in 1204, burning the city to quell resistance. Watts argues this marked the true end of the ancient Roman state. The meritocratic system collapsed, and elites like Nicetas Choniates lost everything, severing the 2,000-year political continuity of the empire. NUMBER 12VENEZUELA: THE REGIME SURVIVES MADURO'S EXIT Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal. Despite Maduro's removal, the Venezuelan regime remains intact under hardliners Delcy Rodriguez and Diosdado Cabello. Mary Anastasia O'Grady notes that repression continues, and European oil companies are hesitant to invest. The regime feigns cooperation to avoid US intervention, but genuine recovery is impossible without restoring the rule of law. NUMBER 13RUSSIA'S OIL CRISIS AND REGIONAL DEFICITS Colleague Michael Bernstam, Hoover Institution. Russiafaces a financial crisis as oil prices drop below $60 per barrel. Michael Bernstam explains that increased global supply forces Russia to sell at deep discounts to China and India, often below cost. This revenue loss prevents the Kremlinfrom paying soldiers, sparking severe regional budget deficits. NUMBER 14EUROPEAN FREEZE AND THE MYTH OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND Colleague Simon Constable, Journalist and Author. A deep freeze hits Southern Europe while commodity prices like copper rise. Simon Constable reports on the UK's bleak economic mood and dismisses the feasibility of British or French "boots on the ground" in Ukraine. He notes that depleted military manpower makes such guarantees declarative rather than substantial. NUMBER 15ARTEMIS 2 RISKS AND THE SEARCH FOR LIFE IN SPACE Colleague Bob Zimmerman, BehindtheBlack.com. Bob Zimmerman urges NASA to fly Artemis 2 unmanned due to unresolved Orion heat shield damage, arguing safety should trump beating China. He also dismisses concerns about lunar methane contamination and highlights a new study suggesting ice caps could allow liquid water lakes to exist on Mars. NUMBER 16
Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the escalating confrontation between Minnesota Democrats and federal immigration authorities, growing unrest tied to anti-ICE activism, new economic signals from the White House, rising global pressure on Iran and China, and a look at medical and technology developments heading into the weekend. Minnesota Democrats Escalate Against ICE: Minnesota media outlets and national Democrats are facing backlash after doxxing the ICE officer involved in the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good. DHS officials warn the move could put officers and their families in danger, echoing past incidents in Los Angeles where officers faced threats and harassment. Vice President JD Vance defended the ICE agent, stating that video and medical evidence clearly show the officer acted in self-defense after being struck by Good's vehicle. Radicalization and Anti-ICE Networks Exposed: Reporting reveals that Good was radicalized through a charter school that prioritizes political activism and later trained with a group called ICE Watch, which teaches tactics to obstruct immigration raids. Bryan explains how activists are instructed to use vehicles, barricades, and incendiary materials to block officers, behavior he says amounts to organized domestic extremism rather than peaceful protest. ICE Operations Expand Nationwide: President Trump is sending an additional 100 ICE officers to Minneapolis, bringing total deployments there to roughly 2,000. In Portland, Oregon, two Venezuelan migrants affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang were shot after allegedly attempting to run over an ICE officer during a traffic stop tied to a prostitution investigation. Democratic leaders condemned ICE actions in both cities, while the administration argues officers are responding to lethal threats. California Loses Federal Transportation Funding: The Trump administration is withholding 160 million dollars from California after audits found that roughly one quarter of the state's commercial driver licenses were issued unlawfully, including to foreign-born drivers who cannot read or speak English. Advocacy groups representing migrant truckers sued to block the revocations, and Governor Gavin Newsom sided with them, prompting federal retaliation. Bryan warns that unsafe licensing practices have already contributed to deadly accidents nationwide. Trump Seeks Massive Military Expansion: President Trump is proposing a $1.5 trillion defense budget, up from $900 billion currently. He argues the increase is necessary for future conflicts and could be funded through tariffs. Budget analysts warn the move could add nearly $6 trillion to the national debt over a decade, raising questions about sustainability and congressional approval. Economic Signals Show Mixed Progress: Layoffs fell in December, trade deficits shrank to their lowest levels since 2009, and the White House announced plans to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds to lower interest rates. Federal employment continues to decline as agencies shrink outside of DHS. Bryan notes the strategy appears to be working so far, but court rulings on tariffs could complicate the outlook. Global Pressure Builds on Iran and China: Protests are spreading across Iran, including strikes at critical oil facilities, prompting a violent crackdown by regime forces. President Trump warned that further bloodshed could trigger U.S. intervention. Meanwhile, China is tightening its grip on rare earth exports, cutting off Japan and reminding the world that Beijing will weaponize supply chains whenever it chooses. Health and Technology Updates: New research suggests that certain cancer patients may need to reconsider high glutamine diets during treatment, while UK studies confirm that stopping GLP one weight loss drugs leads to rapid weight regain. Bryan closes with optimism about new lightweight exoskeletons showcased at CES, which may help older adults and injured individuals regain mobility and independence. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: January 9 2026 Wright Report, Renee Good ICE shooting Minneapolis, JD Vance self defense statement, ICE Watch activist training, Tren de Aragua Portland ICE shooting, California CDL audit funding withheld, Gavin Newsom migrant truck licenses, Trump defense budget one point five trillion, tariff Supreme Court ruling risk, Iran protests oil strike crackdown, China rare earth export squeeze Japan, CES exoskeleton mobility technology

We dive headfirst into CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where this year’s Consumer Electronics Show makes one thing crystal clear: A.I. is officially running the show. From smarter tech to mind-blowing automation, the future is no longer coming — it’s already here. Then things get wild with the next generation of robots, including machines that will one day do your laundry, help build cars for Hyundai by 2028, and even power the world’s first autonomous “thinking” car. Lasers, robotics, and A.I. collide as we break down what’s real, what’s coming, and what might sound like sci-fi but isn’t. We also check in on the weather as high winds continue to impact mountain communities like Wrightwood and Santa Clarita. And in a lighter turn, a California transplant from Tennessee joins the conversation with some culture-shock questions that spark instant debate: Are speeding tickets even a thing here? Why do we say “the” before freeways? Do Californians pronounce their T’s? And seriously… where are all the bugs? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Burnie and Ashley discuss agitators, Iranian protests, Memories books, yearbook signings, Twitter conspiracy theories, WB's deadline, Ole Miss exits the CFP, CES round up, and Tamagotchis.
That question sat at the heart of my conversation with Bret Kinsella, recorded while he was in Las Vegas for CES and preparing to step onto the AI stage. Bret brings a rare combination of long-term perspective and hands-on experience. As General Manager of Fuel iX at TELUS Digital, he operates generative AI systems at a scale most enterprises never see, processing trillions of tokens and delivering measurable business outcomes for global organizations. That vantage point gives him a clear view of both the promise of generative AI and the uncomfortable truths many teams are still avoiding. In this episode, we unpack why generative AI breaks so many of the assumptions security teams have relied on for decades. Bret explains why these systems are probabilistic rather than deterministic, and how that single shift creates what he calls an unbounded attack surface. Users are no longer limited to predefined buttons or workflows, and outputs are no longer constrained to a fixed database. The same prompt can succeed or fail depending on subtle changes, which makes single-pass testing and checkbox compliance dangerously misleading. If you have ever wondered why an AI system feels safe one day and unpredictable the next, this conversation offers a grounded explanation. We also explore why focusing on the model alone misses the real risk. Bret makes a strong case that the model is only one part of a much larger system shaped by system prompts, connected data sources, tools, and guardrails. Change any one of those elements and behavior shifts. This is why automated, continuous red teaming has become unavoidable. Bret shares how Telus Digital's Fortify AI attack model uncovered hundreds of vulnerabilities in hours, far beyond what human teams could realistically surface on their own. Yet automation is not the end of the story. The final decisions still depend on people who understand context, trade-offs, and business impact. Throughout the discussion, we return to a simple but uncomfortable idea. AI safety is not something you bolt on after deployment. It demands a different mindset, broader testing, repeated validation, and ongoing human judgment. For leaders moving from experimentation to real-world deployment, this episode is a clear-eyed look at what responsible progress actually requires. So, as more organizations rush to deploy agents and autonomous systems in 2026, are we truly prepared for software that learns, adapts, and occasionally surprises us, and what does that mean for how you test and trust AI inside your own business?

Every year in early January the global tech industry converges on Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show. I've attended this conference religiously in the past, and less frequently now that my focus is on real estate rather than technology. This year, as with last year, the central theme to CES is AI. Virtually everything being showcased at CES is AI enabled in some way. On yesterday's show we talked about some announcements at the show that pertain to the construction side of real estate investing. On today's show we are talking about some of the innovations in the Smart Buildings arena. To be clear, many of the products present at this year's show didn't wait for a trade show to be announced or deployed in the market. In fact, our team has been designing and deploying AI enabled security cameras for several months. This includes facial recognition for building entry systems. A lot of building management systems are using AI to predict weather, energy pricing, and usage patterns to reduce energy consumption and save on utilities. ------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

AI robots are taking over CES 2025 and we're not sure how to feel about it. Boston Dynamics Atlas is doing things with its body that no robot should be able to do. NVIDIA's new autonomous vehicle platform Alpa Mayo is coming for Tesla FSD. And you can now buy a $100 AI-powered drone that will hunt down whatever you point it at. Cool cool cool. Plus, Google finally put Gemini in Gmail (we tested it so you don't have to), OpenAI is building a mysterious Johnny Ive audio device, and Claude Code with Opus 4.5 has coders losing their minds over something called Ralph Wiggum. Yes, that Ralph Wiggum. We've also got ChatGPT Health, LG's towel-folding robot Clo, Unitree's intimidating 6-foot humanoid, and a look at what the future of AI agents might actually look like. Spoiler: it involves a lot of orchestration. THE ROBOTS ARE FLEXIBLE AND WE DON'T LIKE IT.

Intel has launched its Core Ultra Series 3 central processing units, utilizing its new 18A process technology, which aims to enhance performance and efficiency across various applications, including gaming and professional workloads. This development is part of Intel's strategy to regain competitiveness in the CPU market, which has faced increasing pressure from rivals. The new processors promise improved performance per watt compared to previous generations, with further specifications expected soon. This advancement in chip technology is significant for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) as it enables the feasibility of edge AI applications, which require careful consideration of workload clarity and governance.Lenovo introduced Cura, an AI assistant designed to operate seamlessly across its computers and Motorola smartphones, emphasizing on-device processing and user privacy. This system-level AI aims to adapt to user habits over time, assisting with tasks such as email drafting and meeting summarization. However, the episode highlights a concerning trend where many users do not fully utilize existing tools, as evidenced by Microsoft's Copilot user statistics. The discussion underscores the importance of governance in AI deployment, as successful enterprise AI implementations, like those from Siemens, demonstrate that explicit authority and responsibility are crucial for effective outcomes.The episode also addresses the ongoing hype surrounding robotics and automation, noting that while advancements are being made, the reality remains that specialized robots are more practical than general-purpose ones. Companies are focusing on single-purpose robots, which contrasts with the expectation of multifunctional robots. The discussion emphasizes that automation in IT should follow a similar path, advocating for narrow automations with explicit authority to avoid misunderstandings and failures that could lead to accountability issues for MSPs.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the necessity of redefining governance and responsibility in the face of advancing automation and AI technologies. As systems of action become more prevalent, the shift from traditional dashboards to autonomous decision-making systems requires MSPs to update their contracts and governance models accordingly. The opportunity lies not in simply adopting new technologies but in understanding where automation should be limited and ensuring that accountability is clearly defined to mitigate risks associated with automated systems.

C'est l'histoire d'un gamin de Marseille né en 1980 et qui préfère les posters des coureurs au large à ceux de l'OM. Elevé dans un environnement familial marqué par la musique, Laurent Bourguès est formé très tôt au violon au conservatoire et découvre parallèlement la mer par la plaisance, lors de croisières familiales en Méditerranée. La voile est d'abord un univers, nourri par les magazines, les grandes courses océaniques et les images de multicoques. L'envie de large s'installe avant toute idée de carrière, sans filière évidente depuis le Sud.A l'adolescence, il se met au Laser Radial et atteint un excellent niveau, rêvant de Tornado. Le basculement se fait au début des années 2000, lorsqu'il monte en Bretagne comme on va vers la terre promise après une formation en plasturgie qui le destine d'abord à l'usine Eurocopter de Marignane. A force de persévérance, il intègre le chantier de réparation du trimaran d'Yvan Bourgnon après la Route du Rhum 2002, une expérience fondatrice qui l'ancre durablement dans le milieu. Il rejoint ensuite le Gitana Team, où il travaille plusieurs saisons, au cœur de projets multicoques de haut niveau.Mais s'il est devenu technicien, c'est d'abord pour rentrer dans le milieu et pouvoir naviguer. En 2006, il démissionne de Gitana et se lance dans la grande avanture du Mini 6.50. Il dispute deux Mini Transat, en grande partie auto-financées, tout en poursuivant une activité technique pour subvenir à ses besoins. Ces années de solitaire constituent une étape structurante : apprentissage du large, de la fatigue, de la gestion des avaries, et confrontation directe au niveau sportif de la classe. Il se teste ensuite au FIgaro, mais c'est un échec, qui l'aiguille un temps vers d'autres univers.Il revient cependant vite à ses premiers amours et tout s'enchaîne : il travaille notamment avec Yves Le Blévec, Tanguy de Lamotte, Boris Herrmann et surtout Thomas Ruyant, dont il accompagne les projets IMOCA sur plusieurs campagnes majeures, dont le Vendée Globe 2016 : les projets s'enchaine, il apprend encore et toujours.Après près d'une décennie dans ces rôles techniques, Laurent Bourguès démissionne de TR Racing en 2021 et s'offre une "crise de la quarantaine" en choisissant de redevenir coureur au large : une saison en Figaro en 2022, où il investit toutes ses économies, une saison en Imoca avec Damien Seguin en 2023, puis c'est le lancement du projet Ocean Fifty Mon Bonnet Rose en 2024. Depuis, loin du confort de son dernier job, il bataille dur pour financer son projet, à commencer par la prochaine Route du Rhum. Mais il est exactement là où il voulait être.Diffusé le 9 janvier 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

The squad is back for 2026 with updates: Dave's Montana “Snow Report” (spoiler: none), Brit's contrarian love letter to CES, and Sam's new “serious 40-year-old” fashion era. We go rapid-fire through the biggest headlines from the past few weeks we were offline—OpenAI's health app, China cutting off the H200, and a wave of 2026 liquidity from SpaceX and AI that could mint centi-billionaires, or even trillionaires. Sam unpacks his viral 2026 memo, returning to a familiar theme from the pod: why narratives now matter more than reality, why seed should fund “infinity stories,” and how AI is turning software into consumable media. We also dig into the hot topic of the week—California's wealth tax and founder flight—plus AI partners, Claude-code mania, real-world clinical AI, America's hat discourse, and one very specific New Year's resolution (PS: this is why Sam is wearing a collared shirt).

#SCALAREPORT: AI AND ROBOTICS DOMINATE CES Colleague Chris Riegel, CEO of Scala.com. Reporting from CES, Chris Riegel highlights the dominance of AI and robotics, from household droids to military applications. While the tech sector booms with massive infrastructure spending, Riegel warns of a "K-shaped" economy where Main Street struggles with softening demand, masking the wealth concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers.
