The Anthropic-case shows how interlinked tech companies and intelligence agencies are. With national security journalist Shane Harris we explore mass surveillance, cyberwarfare and the shifting balance of power in a changing world order. Tech company Anthropic (known for chatbot Claude) made headlines because they refuse to allow their AI models to be used by the Pentagon for mass surveillance of American citizens and autonomous weapons systems. OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, has no problem with that and is supplying the technology to the U.S. government that Anthropic (for now) refused. Meanwhile Anthropic has been sanctioned by Donald Trump.Tech moguls have become essential partners in national security. With American journalist Shane Harris, we ask what role technology companies play in the modern security apparatus. How is cyberwarfare reshaping the global balance of power? And what are the implications for privacy, civil rights and democratic governance in the years ahead?About Shane HarrisShane Harris is a staff writer at The Atlantic.

Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) is back in studio with Host Ron Steslow for a conversation about how artificial intelligence is reshaping power, conflict, and accountability in real time. They discuss Ukraine's first successful capture of a Russian position using only unmanned ground robotic systems and aerial drones and the rapid integration of AI into warfare and national security. They also examine the growing clash between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon after Anthropic refused to allow its AI tools to be used for autonomous weapons or domestic surveillance, and the Trump administration responded by labeling the company a supply chain risk. Then, they dive into a new AI model that can discover and weaponize previously unknown software vulnerabilities and what that will mean for the government, banks and businesses.  Finally, they debate the future of AI-powered mass surveillance and the looming reauthorization of FISA Section 702.  In Politicology+ they dive into several big corruption stories: Viktor Orbán's election loss, suspicious oil-futures trading, and the Trump family using World Liberty Coin as their personal ATM.

Next time you’re driving, take a look around and you might notice you’re being watched. From cameras atop traffic lights to license plate readers, surveillance technology has quietly crept into cities and towns across the state. Today, we’re taking a look at surveillance in Connecticut and asking why organizations are worried about how these devices are used. Can mass surveillance and civil liberties co-exist? Guests: Matthew Guariglia: Senior Policy Analyst for the Electronic Frontier Foundation Ojala Naeem: Town Councilor for Windsor, Connecticut Arman Haidari: Citizen activist and resident of West Hartford, Connecticut Eric Weiner: Citizen activist and resident of Windsor, Connecticut Connecticut Public's divina cordeiro contributed to this show.Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Flock cameras, and other license plate reader systems, are installed all over Colorado. The technology gives law enforcement access to a new level of tracking, a reach they say has helped them solve all kinds of terrible crimes and made the state safer. But community fears that law enforcement could misuse the data and invade people's privacy, and share it with federal immigration authorities, are mounting — and getting the attention of state lawmakers. CPR's Bente Birkeland and Denverite's Andrew Kenney dig into how this kind of surveillance tech has changed in recent years, the arguments for and against it and how some Colorado lawmakers hope to restrict how law enforcement can access this data. Catch up on our latest coverage: New restrictions on police surveillance advance in state Senate Denver fires Flock, prepares to switch to new roadway surveillance system Officer faces discipline after using Flock cameras to falsely accuse Denver woman of package theft Police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of package theft.

This week we talk about Anthropic, the Department of Defense, and OpenAI.We also discuss red lines, contracts, and lethal autonomous systems.Recommended Book: Empire of AI by Karen HaoTranscriptLethal autonomous weapons, often called lethal autonomous systems, autonomous weapons systems, or just ‘killer robots,' are military hardware that can operate independent of human control, searching for and engaging with targets based on their programming and thus not needing a human being to point it at things or pull the trigger.The specific nature and capabilities of these devices vary substantially from context to content, and even between scholars writing on the subject, but in general these are systems—be they aerial drones, heavy gun emplacements, some kind of mobile rocket launcher, or a human- or dog-shaped robot—that are capable of carrying out tasks and achieving goals without needing constant attention from a human operator.That's a stark contrast with drones that require either a human controlled or what's called a human-in-the-loop in order to make decisions. Some drones and other robots and weapons require full hands-on control, with a human steering them, pointing their weapons, and pulling the trigger, while others are semi-autonomous in that they can be told to patrol a given area and look for specific things, but then they reach out to a human-in-the-loop to make final decisions about whatever they want to do, including and especially weapon-related things; a human has to be the one to drop the bomb or fire the gun in most cases, today.Fully autonomous weapon systems, without a human in the loop, are far less common at this point, in part because it's difficult to create a system so capable that it doesn't require human intervention at times, but also because it's truly dangerous to create such a device.Modern artificial intelligence systems are incredibly powerful, but they still make mistakes, and just as an LLM-based chatbot might muddle its words or add extra fingers to a made-up person in an image it generates, or a step further, might fabricate research referenced in a paper it produces, an AI-controlled weapon system might see targets where there are no targets, or might flag a friendly, someone on its side, or a peaceful, noncombatant human, as a target. And if there's no human-in-the-loop to check the AI's understanding and correct it, that could mean a lot of non-targets being treated like targets, their lives ended by killer robots that gun them down or launch a missile at their home.On a larger scale, AI systems controlling arrays of weapons, or even entire militaries, becoming strategic commanders, could wipe out all human life by sparking a nuclear war.A recent study conducted at King's College London found that in simulated crises, across 21 scenarios, AI systems which thought they had control of nation-state-scale militaries opted for nuclear signaling, escalation, and tactical nuclear weapon use 95% of the time, never once across all simulations choosing to use one of the eight de-escalatory options that were made available to them.All of which suggests to the researchers behind this study that the norm, approaching the level of taboo, associated with nuclear weapons use globally since WWII, among humans at least, may not have carried over to these AI systems, and full-blown nuclear conflict may thus become more likely under AI-driven military conditions.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent confrontation between one AI company—Anthropic—and its client, the US Department of Defense, and the seeming implications of both this conflict, and what happened as a result.—In late-2024, the US Department of Defense—which by the way is still the official title, despite the President calling it the Department of War, since only Congress can change its name—the US DoD partnered with Anthropic to get a version of its Claude LLM-based AI model that could be used by the Pentagon.Anthropic worked with Palantir, which is a data-aggregation and surveillance company, basically, run by Peter Thiel and very favored by this administration, and Amazon Web Services, to make that Claude-for-the-US-military relationship happen, those interconnections allowing this version of the model to be used for classified missions.Anthropic received a $200 million contract with the Department of Defense in mid-2025, as did a slew of other US-based AI companies, including Google, xAI, and OpenAI. But while the Pentagon has been funding a bunch of US-based AI companies for this utility, only Claude was reportedly used during the early 2026 raid on Venezuela, during which now-former Venezuelan President Maduro was taken by US forces.Word on the street is that Claude is the only model that the Pentagon has found truly useful for these sorts of operations, though publicly they're saying that investments in all of these models have borne fruit, at least to some degree.So Anthropic's Claude model is being used for classified, military and intelligence purposes by the US government. Anthropic has been happy about this, by all accounts, because that's a fair bit of money, but also being used for these purposes by a government is a pretty big deal—if it's good enough for the US military, after all, many CEOs will see that as a strong indication that Claude is definitely good enough for their intended business purposes.On February 24 of 2026, though, the US Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, threatened to remove Anthropic from the DoD's stable of AI systems that they use unless the company allowed the DoD to use Claude for any and all legal purposes—unrestricted use of the model, basically.This threat came with a timeline—accede to these demands by February 27 or be cut from the DoD's supply chain—and the day before that deadline, the 26th, Anthropic's CEO released a statement indicating that the company would not get rid of its red lines that delineated what Claude could and could not be used for, and on the 27th, US President Trump ordered that all US agencies stop using Anthropic tools, and said that he would declare the company a supply chain risk, which would make it illegal for any company doing business with the US government at any level and in any fashion to use Anthropic products or services—a label that's rarely used, and which was previously used by the Trump administration against Chinese tech giant Huawei on the basis that the company might insert spy equipment in communications hardware installed across the US if they were allowed to continue operating in the country.Those red lines that Anthropic's CEO said he wouldn't get rid of, not even for a client as big and important as the US government, and not even in the face of threats by Hegseth, including that he might invoke the Defense Production Act, which would allow him to force the company to allow the Pentagon to use Claude however they like, or Trumps threat that the company be blacklisted from not just the government, but from working with a significant chunk of Fortune 500 companies, those red lines include not allowing Claude to be used for controlling autonomous weapon systems, killer robots, basically, and not allowing Claude to be used for surveilling US citizens.The Pentagon signed a contract with Anthropic in which they agreed to these terms, but Hegseth's new demand was that Anthropic sign a new version of the contract in which they allow the US government to use Claude and their other offerings for ‘all legal purposes,' which apparently includes, at least in some cases and contexts, killer robots and mass surveillance.So the Pentagon tried to strong-arm a US-based AI company into allowing them to use their product for purposes the company doesn't consider to be moral, and that led to this situation in which Anthropic is now being phased out from US government use—it'll apparently take about 6 months to do this, and some analysts speculate that timeline is meant to serve as a period in which further negotiation can occur—but either way, it's being phased out and it may even have trouble getting major clients in the future as a result of being blackballed.As all this was happening, OpenAI stepped in and offered its products and services to fill the void left by Anthropic in the US government.OpenAI's CEO has been cozying up to Trump a lot since he regained office, and has positioned the company as a major US asset, too big to fail because then China will win the AI race, basically, so this makes sense. Its CEO released several statements and press releases in the wake of this further cozying, saying that they believe the same things Anthropic does, and that they're not giving up any credibility for doing this because they have the same red lines, no killer robots, no mass surveillance of US citizens.But this is generally assumed to be bunk, because why would the Pentagon agree to the same terms all over again, and with a company that provides, for their purposes and right now, anyway, inferior services instead of the one they just chased out and blackballed, and which was helping them do purposeful, effective things, like kidnapping a foreign leader from a secure facility, today?Instead, what it sounds like is OpenAI is trying to have its cake and eat it too, saying publicly that they don't want their offerings used to control autonomous weapons systems or mass surveil Americans, but instead of writing that into the contract, they've got some basic guardrails baked into their systems, and they are assuming those guardrails will keep any funny business from happening. So it's a sort of gentleman's agreement with their clients that OpenAI products won't be used for mass surveillance or killer robots, rather than something legally binding, as was the case with Anthropic.The response to all this within the tech world has been illustrative of what we might expect in the coming years. Many people, including folks working on these technologies, are halting their use of OpenAI tech in protest, and in some (at this point at least) fewer cases, people are quitting their OpenAI jobs, because they are strongly opposed to these use-cases and would prefer to support a company that takes a strong stand on these sorts of moral issues.Some analysts also wonder if this will ensure the Pentagon only ever has access to inferior AI models because they intentionally threatened and disempowered a key AI industry CEO in public, saying that they had final say over how these tools are used, and many such CEOs are both unaccustomed to such stripping down, but are also doing the work they're doing for ideological reasons—they have beliefs about what the future, as enabled by AI technologies, will look like, and they believe they will play a vital role in making that future happen.The idea, then, is why would they want to work with the Pentagon, or the US government more broadly, if that means no longer being in charge of the destiny of these tools they're putting so much time, effort, and resources into building? Why would they take on a client, even a big, important one, if that means no longer having any grain of control over the future of the world as shaped by the systems they're building?We'll know a bit more about how all this plays out within the next handful of months, as this could serve as a moral differentiator between otherwise near-match products in the AI category, allowing companies like Anthropic to compete, both in terms of clients and in terms of employees, with the likes of OpenAI and xAI by saying, look, we don't want killer robots or mass surveillance and we gave up a LOT, put our money where our mouths are, in support of that moral stance.That could prove to be a serious feather in their cap, despite the initial cost, though it could also be that the pressure the US government is willing and able to apply to them instead serves as a warning to others, and the likes of OpenAI and Google and so on just get better at speaking out of both sides of their mouths on this issue, creating sneakier contracts that allow them to say the same on paper, seeming to take the same moral stance Anthropic did, while behind closed doors allowing their clients to do basically whatever they want with their products, including using them to control killer robots and to mass surveil US citizens.Show Noteshttps://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/artificial-intelligence-under-nuclear-pressure-first-large-scale-kings-study-reveals-how-ai-models-reason-and-escalate-under-crisishttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/26/ai-nuclear-weapons-war-pentagon-scenarioshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/technology/openai-agreement-pentagon-ai.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_autonomous_weaponhttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/885963/anthropic-dod-pentagon-tech-workers-ai-labs-reacthttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/886816/openai-reached-a-new-agreement-with-the-pentagonhttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/trump-moves-to-ban-anthropic-from-the-us-government/https://apnews.com/article/anthropic-pentagon-ai-dario-amodei-hegseth-0c464a054359b9fdc80cf18b0d4f690chttps://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/whats-really-at-stake-in-the-fight-between-anthropic-and-the-pentagon-d450c1a1https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-of-war/https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/artificial-intelligence-under-nuclear-pressure-first-large-scale-kings-study-reveals-how-ai-models-reason-and-escalate-under-crisishttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/26/ai-nuclear-weapons-war-pentagon-scenarios This is a public episode.

The US government asked Anthropic — the company behind Claude, one of the most capable AI coding systems on the market — to help build autonomous weapons and a mass surveillance infrastructure. Anthropic said no. That refusal, which happened the same week the US launched strikes on Iran, is either the most principled corporate decision in recent AI history or the beginning of a very ugly fight over who controls the most powerful tools ever built. Jeremy and Jason break down what the government actually asked for, why Anthropic refused, what Open AI and Elon Musk did instead, and what it means for all of us when the people writing the guardrails are the same people being pressured to remove them.Topics Discussed:Why autonomous AI weapons systems default to nuclear launch in virtually every war game simulationWhat Anthropic's Claude can actually do — and why the US government wants it so badlyHow AI turns existing NSA surveillance infrastructure into something exponentially more dangerousWhy Open AI and Elon Musk said yes to the same deal Anthropic refusedWhy the people most confident they're using AI as a tool might be the ones AI ends up usingChapters0:00 — When AI Meets War: What We're Actually Talking About1:15 — What Claude Can Really Do (And Why the Government Wants It)4:18 — The Autonomous Cyber Weapon Problem5:28 — Why Anthropic Said No to the Money6:26 — Mass Surveillance, AI, and What's Already Running9:45 — When War Games Go Nuclear: The 95% Problem13:01 — AGI Is Already Here.

Hawk breaks down the rapidly escalating conflict between the Pentagon and Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude model, after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth demanded that Anthropic remove two core safety restrictions from its terms of service. Those restrictions prohibit using Claude for mass surveillance of American citizens and for programming weapons to fire without human intervention. Hegseth labeled these protections "woke" and threatened to terminate Anthropic's $200 million Defense Department contract and blacklist the company as a danger to all defense supply chains unless Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei agreed to his demands. Amodei said no. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's Grok chatbot, which previously generated child sexual imagery and declared itself "Mecca Hitler," has been cleared for use in classified Pentagon settings. Sam Altman of OpenAI is now positioning his company to step into the gap, exploring whether ChatGPT models can meet Pentagon requirements while maintaining safety guardrails. Hawk also covers the broader AI reality check happening in corporate America. Mark Benioff of Salesforce laid off 4,000 employees to replace them with AI and now says he regrets it. Jack Dorsey just cut 50% of Square's workforce for the same reason. Studies suggest 95% of deployed AI agents in corporate settings are ineffective. And Sam Altman reportedly believes there is a 1 in 5 chance that artificial intelligence destroys humanity entirely. The people designing these systems do not fully understand what they will do. The only thing standing between Pete Hegseth and AI-powered mass surveillance of Americans is one CEO with a conscience.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the many ways Trump's MAGA movement appears to be collapsing as supporters cheer on moves to go to war, spend trillions, restrict gun right, militarize police, mass surveil and federalize practically everything. It's understandable to have a bad reaction to mass migration as it was always meant to cause cultural decline, however instead of removing the welfare system which benefits mass migration as you'd expect conservatives to do, militarized police are now in the streets shooting protesters who in the case of Alex Pretti was doing nothing violent. The response? Because of his opinions, people believe he deserves it! Trump is now saying you aren't allowed to have a gun in a public place. Kash Patel is claiming it's illegal to have a gun in public. This is of course a blatant lie and a massive indictment on the Second Amendment of the Consitution. In fact people like Kyle Rittenhouse and the Gun Owners Of America are speaking out against this obstruction. But countless supporters are now cheering on the notion that concealed or open carry is bad. At the same time Trump is claiming an attack on Iran is Imminent and supporters are now cheering on an Iran War. It's the same old "problem, reaction, solution, repeat." From Epstein to funding massive corporations, from war to printing massive amounts of money as the dollar declines. From gun control to putting cameras on every street with facial recognition while mandating 5 years of social media history to enter the country which is basically social credit. This is just further evidence that consistency is not possible within the collectivist paradigm of left and right. It's picking and choosing what rights you want today based on the weather; based on your current emotion... Still, those of us outside of the paradigm are attacked and called a "leftist" or a "fascist" by either side for simply being consistent and pro freedom. Typical. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Hakeem Anwar discussed the evolution of privacy-focused technology, the implications of artificial intelligence, and the importance of local AI solutions (which aren't a bad idea).He explored the benefits of using Arch Linux and the AbovePhone ecosystem, emphasising the need for personal responsibility when navigating the digital world.Our conversation also covered the risks of centralised tech and why we should move towards open-source alternatives, ultimately advocating for a future where we can reclaim our privacy and autonomy in technology.It's about pushing back against digital ID and the digital gulag.

Republican Matt Van Epps defeated Democratic State Representative Aftyn Behn in the Tennessee 7th Congressional District special election to fill Mark Green's seat by a little over 9 points — a significant shift from the expected 22-point split. And a quietly-filed memorandum of understanding between Metro and the Nashville Downtown Partnership seems to give the nonprofit a $15M state grant to purchase a mass surveillance system as well as an armored SWAT vehicle, ostensibly in the name of “public safety.” Nashville Banner staff reporter Steven Hale joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to break down the details as well as the backlash.

Last week on the Courtenay Turner Podcast we held another Technocracy Roundtable with my three favorite knights in shining armor: Patrick Wood, Aaron Day, Craig Wenclewicz  We dove head-first into one of the most disturbing new fronts in the technocratic war on humanity: the deliberate campaign to convince the public that artificial intelligence is already—or soon will be—conscious, sentient, and therefore deserving of rights, ethical consideration, and even authority over human beings. From self-evolving algorithms that rewrite their own code to claims of machine “consciousness” emerging in 2025–2026, the technocrats are no longer hiding their endgame: the creation of digital entities they believe will surpass—and ultimately replace—humanity. We'll expose the latest breakthroughs in evolutionary AI, the spiritual implications of synthetic awareness, the push for “rights” for conscious machines, and how this ties directly into transhuman convergence, tokenized souls, and the abolition of free will.

Exposing Technocracy's Assault on Body, Mind, and Sovereignty – From Wearable Traps to Biotech Tyranny ⚔️Join us for the third riveting episode of Technocracy Roundtable LIVE: Bio-Digital Betrayal: Precision AI Medicine, MAHA/MABA, Wearables & the Convergence Onslaught – where the Knights of the Roundtable expose technocracy's assault on body, mind, and sovereignty, from wearable traps to biotech tyranny.

Join us for the replay of the second explosive installment of Technocracy Roundtable LIVE: Sovereign Siege: Trump's Wealth Fund & the Robotic Onslaught – where the Knights of the Roundtable battle technocracy's financial heist and mechanical enslavement in the shadows of control. Original Air Date & Time: Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 5:00 PM CDT Hosted by: ⁠Courtenay Turner⁠  Panelists: ⁠Patrick Wood⁠, ⁠Aaron Day⁠, and Craig Wenclewicz Building on our inaugural episode's wake-up call to technocracy's tokenized tyranny, we dove deeper into robotics as the trillion-dollar “endgame” enforcer—discussing China's lead in humanoid bots, digital twins collecting biometrics for surveillance, ethical dilemmas like robot “wombs” and empathy mimics, and the looming job displacement wave (WEF: 92M roles at risk by 2030). Then, Trump's Sovereign Wealth Fund (EO 14196) as a potential $200T+ asset grab—flipping from debt to tokenized land/minerals, funding AI empires via tariffs/seized assets, and risking 401k/pension fleecing in a “great taking” scenario. We unpacked ties to Vance/Thiel's monarchical visions, UN SDG funding, and strategies to reclaim sovereignty amid 6G sensor networks and bio-digital convergence. Expect unfiltered analysis, historical roots (1930s technocracy parallels), financial breakdowns (Genius/Clarity Acts enabling programmable dollars), market insights (private equity bubbles, Japan/Saudi shifts), live Q&A highlights (opting out challenges, alt media conduits for techno-feudalism), and actionable resistance blueprints. This isn't theory—it's the playbook unfolding in real time. Missed it LIVE? Catch clips, discussions, and the replay here—let's dismantle the machine together!

They told us technology would set us free. But what if freedom was never the plan? THE INVISIBLE PRISON: AI & MASS SURVEILLANCE exposes how predictive policing, digital IDs, and facial recognition are creating a world where obedience is mandatory—and freedom is an illusion.What happens when algorithms decide your future before you live it? What happens when machines know your thoughts before you speak them?This isn't science fiction. This is now.

Episode 567 of the A Minute to Midnite Show. It has been a week of significant announcements that show how our world is quickly becoming a dystopian digital prison.

Mass surveillance could be a cause of mass paranoia. New studies show that surveillance has an impact on the brain, and that instead of causing good behavior, it may be a factor in an epidemic of stress.Also, the Chinese regime is launching a new campaign to lure U.S. influencers to China for propaganda tours. This comes alongside other findings that the Chinese Communist Party has broad campaigns to infiltrate American society.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

John Kiriakou, former CIA officer and whistleblower against the agency's  torture program, discusses his extensive background in intelligence, the evolving role of technology and AI in intelligence operations, and the balance between privacy and national security. John details his experience with the CIA's torture program post-9/11, and the consequences he's faced for exposing these practices. Key Takeaways: How targeted intelligence can succeed without mass surveillance, and how national security doesn't need to mean sacrificing individual privacy The evolution of drone warfare in military options, and how its crossed moral lines The dangers posed by AI in intelligence, and the need for ethical considerations in the application of AI The current state of the US Patriot Act, and the implications of technology in media Guest Bio: John Kiriakou is a former CIA officer, former senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and former counterterrorism consultant for ABC News. He was responsible for the capture in Pakistan in 2002 of Abu Zubaydah, believed to be the third-ranking official in al-Qaeda. In 2007, Kiriakou exposed the CIA's torture program, saying that the CIA tortured prisoners, had become official U.S. government policy, and that this policy had been approved by then-President George W. Bush. He became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act—a law designed to punish spies—and served 23 months in prison as a result. Kiriakou is the author of eight books, including The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA's War on Terror; Doing Time Like a Spy: How the CIA Taught Me to Survive and Thrive in Prison; and The Convenient Terrorist: Abu Zubaydah and the Weird Wonderland of America's Secret Wars. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this Show: The Brave Technologist is here to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of emerging tech.

Privacy activists, many of whom are supporters of President Donald Trump, are expressing anger and disbelief following reports that his administration had advanced plans to create a national citizen database with technology firm Palantir. The White House has reportedly contracted Palantir, a Colorado-based analytics company co-founded by Trump supporter Peter Thiel, to assist in compiling a database of personal information on American citizens, according to unnamed government officials and Palantir employees. The purported deal follows project talks Palantir had with the Social Security Administration and the Department of Education. Jimmy speaks with author, activist and investigative journalist Derrick Broze about how Trump's embrace of Palantir represents a betrayal of MAGA principles. Plus segments on Catherine Austin Fitts breaking down Elon Musk's plans to institute a social credit system in the U.S. and Elon going scorched earth on Trump's budget bill. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

Are Smart Cities the Next Step in Global Surveillance? The Dangerous Dames Reveal What They Don't Want You to Know Join co-hosts Courtenay Turner (host of The Courtenay Turner Podcast) and Dr. Lee Merritt (the Medical Rebel) for another thought-provoking episode of The Dangerous Dames, airing Monday at 5pm CST. Each week, these two outspoken voices dive into the "dangerous truths the mainstream doesn't want you to hear," tackling the latest in current events, politics, and health from their unique perspectives. This week, Courtenay and Dr. Merritt will break down the most pressing headlines, offering their candid takes on political developments and health issues shaping the national conversation. The episode will also feature a soft-focus segment on the rise of "Smart Cities" and the controversial concept of "15-minute cities"-urban planning models designed to ensure residents can access everything they need within a short walk or bike ride. Expect a lively discussion on the promises and pitfalls of these new urban models, including their impact on personal freedom, public health, and local economies. Are Smart Cities a step toward sustainable living, or do they raise new concerns about control and surveillance? The Dames will explore both the benefits-such as reduced pollution, increased walkability, and stronger local communities-and the controversies that have made 15-minute cities a hot topic in policy and conspiracy circles alike. Tune in for unapologetic analysis, spirited debate, and the kind of insights you won't find anywhere else. ▶SEE referenced Courtenay's Substack Article: "The Path to Mass Surveillance and Technological Singularity"⁠https://courtenayturner.substack.com/p/the-path-to-mass-surveillance-and⁠__________________________________________________________This Show Is Only Possible With Support Of Our Dangerous Audience!----------------------------------------------▶Support our show by supporting your health & wealth! ▶The Medical Rebel Shop: Promo Code: DANGEROUS⁠* Healthy Foundation Pak 2.5⁠ ⁠* Rebel Immunity⁠ ⁠* Greska's Carbon-60⁠ ⁠▶Richardson Nutrition Center:Use Promo Code: DANGEROUS for a 10% Discount!⁠ ⁠▶ Defy The Grid - GoldbacksUse Promo Code: DANGEROUS⁠ ⁠▶ RedLife: Red-Light TherapyUse Promo Code: DANGEROUS⁠------------------------------------- ⁠▶Follow & Connect with Courtenay:https://linktr.ee/courtenayturner⁠ ⁠▶Follow & Connect with Dr. Merritt:⁠⁠https://drleemerritt.com/⁠ ©2025 All Rights Reserved Learn more about your ad choices.
