Late last month, Reuters reported that DOGE had “disbanded,” that the group was no longer a centralized government entity. But according to Wired Reporter Vittoria Elliott, while DOGE is no longer moving across the government "in a move-fast-and-break-things blitz,” it is far from dead and gone. One source, at the USDA, told Wired that DOGE operatives had “burrowed into the agencies like ticks.” Elliott tells Brooke about how DOGE is continuing to shape the government, and what she's learned from talking to federal workers.

We're going old school this week—straight to every millennial's favorite childhood battleground: the roller rink. Trevin kicks things off with a bizarre dream featuring Amanda, her husband, and a massive alligator. But when Dream Trevin tries to play hero, Real Trevin wakes up in a very familiar (and very painful) situation. Meanwhile, Amanda heads to a kid's birthday party at a roller rink. She shows up ready for nostalgia… but her mid-30s body is not ready to roll. Gravity absolutely has notes. Then it's time for Would You Rather. Amanda asks if you'd prefer a terrible-looking mugshot or a glamorous one where you're mid-sneeze. Trevin brings a year-end twist: would you rather every device you own insult you… or relive all of 2025 again? Amanda's story this week features a South Carolina teen who brings chaos to the rink—armed with confidence, questionable humor, and a water bottle full of cooking oil. Due to life being life, Trevin swaps his usual story for four headlines in what he calls his “Petty Black Mirror” segment. This week's petty tech tales include: • Facebook's underground sperm-selling groups and the petty drama inside Sperm Donors UK & Get Your Baby Dust Here. • An Ontario man tricked by ChatGPT into believing he'd discovered a world-saving breakthrough—sending him into psychosis. • The Kumma Bear, an AI-enabled teddy bear developing disturbing phrases and unsafe behaviors. • And an update to X's AI, Grok, that forces it to only compliment Elon Musk… leading trolls to prompt some very strange praise—including Elon's alleged skill of drinking pee. It's all fun-on-wheels meets dystopian tech weirdness this week. So lace up, log off, and join us for A Petty Skate of Affairs.

Synopsis:  In a call to action, Sara Nelson urges workers to move beyond defense and set the agenda for change, declaring "our world is burning" but asserting that collective power can be used to create a better future.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description [original release date July 2025]: Sara Nelson knows how to leverage worker power — and so do the 55,000 flight attendants she represents. A union member since 1996, she's been the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014. You may remember her integral role in threatening a strike, which helped pressure the Trump administration to end the 2019 government shutdown. But under the second Trump term, the administration plans to gut many government agencies and has canceled one million contracts for federal workers so far. “We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next,” she tells Laura Flanders in this exclusive interview. “So we have to rush to each other's sides.” In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment. What is her message and her mission for 2025? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on floods and profits.“We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next. So we have to rush to each other's sides. But we can also turn this around and not just be on defense. . . We are in a crisis. Yeah. Our world is burning. We can actually set the agenda and make things better.”Guest:  Sara Nelson: International President of the Association of Flight Attendants- (AFA-CWA) (representing 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines)  Watch the episode released on YouTube July 18th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 20th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

In this episode, Tara breaks down the real math behind Trump's claim that tariffs could eliminate the income tax — and why, despite the Founders' original vision, that dream is impossible with today's bloated federal government. From trillion-dollar spending to missing billions, from Supreme Court battles to Costco jumping the line with tariff lawsuits, Tara exposes the truth behind the numbers politicians won't touch. Clear, sharp, and brutally honest — this episode cuts through the noise with facts, history, and a reality check America needs.

The Trump administration is desperately trying to convince Americans that Pete Hegseth is NOT the person who ordered the second strike on the wreckage of a bombed boat in the ocean back in September, but no one is buying it. The situation has grown so bad for the Trump administration that even Republicans in the House and Senate are demanding investigations into what actually took place out there. At this point, it makes no sense for Trump to stand with the scandal-plagued Hegseth, and he should just cut his losses. According to new reports, Donald Trump instructed the crews working on his new White House ballroom to IGNORE all codes and laws that they are required to follow for any construction project. This new information comes just weeks after Trump fired the entire board of the Commission on Fine Arts that gets to make final determinations on projects involving historic landmarks and properties. Trump is going to half-ass the project to the point where the next President will have little choice but to tear it down.Donald Trump's lies about the economy - and his plans to fix it - are so ridiculous that even Republican lawmakers aren't buying into it anymore. Between his denials that anything is wrong, Trump has suggested "fixes" for the things he says aren't broken that include checks totaling thousands of dollars for every American and 50-year mortgages that would cause people to spend triple what they normally would on a home while locking them into debt for their entire lives. These plans are not only dumb, they are dangerous, and Republicans aren't happy with what's coming from Trump. Everything in Donald Trump's life is falling apart right now. From his cabinet to his approval rating to the economy and even his businesses - nothing is going well for him. To make things worse, more and more cracks are beginning to form in his Republican coalition as they attack one another, and him, over everything. Things could not be going worse for the President and his Party.Donald Trump has been hit with a lawsuit from a group of plaintiffs alleging that he ran a trafficking operation that they describe as "identical" to that of Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit also says that Elon Musk and Bill Gates were a part of it, too. While this certainly sounds like an enormous bombshell, the truth is likely far less interesting - There is nothing in the suit that even comes close to being believable, and this lawsuit could end up helping Trump rather than hurting him.Multiple Republican insiders and strategists spoke to The Hill this week, warning that their party was about to suffer a massive series of losses in 2026, which will culminate in the midterm elections. They said that the growing discontent of the American voters is going to be taken out on the incumbent Party, and there's not a whole lot that they can do to stop this from happening. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

In this raw episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, Chris Osman opens up like never before—sharing childhood struggles, the brutal realities of BUD/S (including two moments he nearly rang the bell), combat in Somalia, and the darker personal battles that followed his 11 years of service, including addiction, failed marriages, and the long road back to redemption. With zero victim mentality, Chris lays it all bare: the vi*lence that once defined him, the lessons learned from organized crime fascination, his evolving faith, and why he now refuses to sugarcoat anything—even if it means exposing his own lowest points. From near-quitting in H*ll Week surf t*rture to candid thoughts on loyalty, fatherhood, Elon Musk, and why some men are drawn to special operations while others cling to victimhood, this episode is both a cautionary tale and a masterclass in owning your story. Whether you're a longtime listener who remembers Chris's legendary first two episodes (the Haiti jail story is still a fan favorite) or this is your introduction, prepare for five hours of absolute honesty from a man who's lived on both sides of the guardrail—and finally found his way back.

It's common knowledge that good performance in midterm elections hinges on one key issue: the economy. The Left knows this, and it knows that Trump's economy is not only doing better than last year at this time during the Biden administration, but it's doing better than any time in history. Victor Davis Hanson explains the strategy behind the Democrats' attempt to distract Americans from booming growth before the 2026 midterms on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “The economy is going to boom in 2026 and the Left knows that. So, what is their strategy? Don't talk about the Trump economy. And we've seen what? Go after Tesla. Firebomb Tesla dealerships. Drive Tesla off, automobiles off the road because Elon Musk was the prince of darkness and he was involved in DOGE. Demonize DOGE. Go after ICE. Have street theater. Have riots. Call them Gestapo. Say they're worse than Hitler. Go after the National Guard that has cleaned up Washington, D.C. Encourage massive resistance. Call it illegal. Shut down the government.”

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – The catalyst for this discussion is Elon Musk's recent claim: within the next 10 to 20 years, advancements in artificial intelligence will render many human jobs obsolete, making work fundamentally optional for Americans. This prediction forces a critical, immediate question upon our capitalist society: if AI and robotics take over the bulk of wealth generation...

Zwei Tausend Milliarden Dollar – so viel wollten der weltweit vermögendste Mann, Elon Musk, und Präsident Donald Trump mit der Effizienzbehörde DOGE im US-Haushaltsbudget einsparen. Nicht einmal ein Jahr später ist das Projekt Geschichte. Fazit: Außer Spesen, nichts gewesen. Haben Trump und Musk die Amerikaner aufs Kreuz gelegt? Was war das wahre Ziel von DOGE? Das erklärt die deutsch-amerikanische Autorin Sandra Navidi.

On The Gary Jeff Walker Radio Show, Jeff Dornik unpacks what Elon Musk and his “Optimus” robots really represent — not progress, but the blueprint for a technocratic “communist utopia.” Humans are more than labor units. Work gives identity, purpose, dignity. If we surrender to a world of robot-driven abundance, we surrender the God-given value of the individual. It's time to fight for freedom, not convenience.

Apple's first foldable iPhone targets a “virtually crease-free” inner display, a titanium-forward hinge, and a price near $2,399, with mass production expected in late 2026. Here is a clear, sourced breakdown of design choices, specs, pricing, and whether it can replace your iPhone-plus-iPad setup.

South Park Charlie Kirk Predictive ProgrammingThe source material consists of a speaker's critical analysis of what they categorize as staged historical events or psychological operations (psyops), particularly focusing on the alleged shooting of Charlie Kirk. The speaker details a three-part media strategy supporting these events, encompassing predictive programming (content released long before the event), concurrent programming (content released at the time), and reinforcement (the media ecosystem validating the premise). Furthermore, the discussion transitions to critique the anti-geoengineering movement, which the speaker dismisses as controlled opposition designed to ensure both sides of the political spectrum agree on the fundamental premise of man-made global alteration. The speaker contends that these scripted events suggest that key public figures are merely scripted people playing pre-planned roles that stretch back decades. Ultimately, the speaker argues that the public's increasing inability to discern truth from sophisticated media fakery and AI-generated content is ushering in a "new dark age."SynopsisThe speaker focuses on analyzing major current events, such as the Charlie Kirk shooting, as staged historical events or psychological operations (psyops) that shape shared history. These simulated events are characterized by pervasive media saturation involving predictive, concurrent, and reinforcement programming. The South Park episode featuring a Charlie Kirk-esque character (Cartman/Clyde) falling off a chair to the left is cited as specific evidence of concurrent and predictive programming leading up to the alleged shooting event. The analysis extends to major public figures, referred to as "fake people" or scripted actors, whose roles are foreshadowed in prior media, suggesting they step into pre-planned scenarios (e.g., Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens).The speaker also critically analyzes the anti-geo-engineering movement (chemtrails), calling it intellectually dishonest and controlled opposition that serves as a tool of the "system". This movement, like climate change activism, results in the Hegelian dialectic working because both sides agree that man is destroying the planet.The central theme is the need for a paradigm shift to an "off-world stage perspective," where individuals adopt the premise of "fake until proven real" to counteract the rising tide of media fakery and AI-generated content, which threatens to usher in a "new dark age" characterized by visual illiteracy.5 Talking PointsStaged Events and Predictive Programming: Significant headline-grabbing events are considered simulated events (psyops or hoaxes) that are often scheduled and planned in advance, with scripts potentially existing 20 years ago or longer. The planning of these events is evidenced by the existence of predictive, concurrent, and reinforcement programming across media ecosystems, blurring the lines between nonfiction and fiction.The South Park Example: The South Park episode featuring a Charlie Kirk character being knocked off a chair to the left is highlighted as a conspicuous example of concurrent and predictive programming, elevating Charlie Kirk's profile just in time for the staged event and possibly foreshadowing his alleged fate. The association of this character with Cartman is noted as potentially representing how "the left characterizes the right".Controlled Opposition in Conspiracy Culture: Movements like anti-geo-engineering (chemtrails) are viewed as controlled opposition or a "litmus test" for gullibility, designed to provide the right wing with a political framework, ultimately aligning with the mainstream climate change narrative that "man is destroying the planet". The speaker argues that these popular conspiracy theories are generally fake and political, serving to misdirect those who stray from the mainstream.Fake People and Scripted Roles: Many individuals on the world stage are considered "scripted people" or "plants" who are playing roles in a reality TV show that is an "alternate reality game" inviting audience participation. Figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk were allegedly foreshadowed in predictive content, suggesting they stepped into pre-existing roles. The activities of people associated with Charlie Kirk (e.g., Erica Kirk, Candace Owens, J.D. Vance) are seen as part of the overall scripted scenario.Combating Visual Illiteracy in the Age of AI: Due to the advancing sophistication of media fakery and AI agents influencing public opinion, relying on visuals to deconstruct a fake event is no longer reliable, necessitating a paradigm shift. Adopting the mindset of "fake until proven real" is crucial to avoid falling into a new dark age of visual illiteracy and remaining susceptible to psychological operations and emotional manipulation.5 Quotes"These are simulated events with significance in terms of our shared history. These are world

Mark Bland unleashes a no-holds-barred takedown of Donald Trump's chaotic second term. Coming off a personally tough holiday, Bland argues the real "black" in Black Friday 2025 isn't the shopping deals; it's the darkening economic picture the administration is desperately trying to hide. He spotlights the unprecedented cancellation of the third-quarter GDP report (the third major economic indicator scrapped in weeks), blaming mass deportations, new tariffs, and a lingering government shutdown for pushing the U.S. toward recession. Bland contrasts this year's generic, Great Value Thanksgiving dinners with the name-brand abundance Americans enjoyed under Biden, accusing Trump of gaslighting voters while quietly admitting his own policies are tanking the economy. From the turkey-pardoning stage turning into an angry rant against Chuck and Nancy, to Trump seemingly shrugging "just say yes" when asked if he's a fascist, Bland paints a picture of a presidency spiraling into pettiness, dementia-fueled loops, and authoritarian cosplay. Add Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation, ICE detaining U.S. citizens, the abrupt collapse of Elon's DOGE experiment, and Pete Hegseth picking fights with war hero Mark Kelly, and Bland declares: the chaos isn't coming; it's already here. A passionate call for adults to demand transparency and accountability in a country that feels increasingly run like a reality-TV dictatorship.

Story 1: Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) just can't keep her mouth shut about Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, an American hero who has restored the confidence of thousands of men (not to be confused with the other Jeffrey Epstein) as evidenced by a recent appearance on MS Now where she appeared to double down on her misleading claims towards EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. Will reacts to more Crockett insanity, before discussing Elon Musk's claim that smartphones will be replaced by AI within the next decade.Story 2: Host of ‘Off Leash with Erik Prince,' and founder of the private military contractor Blackwater, Erik Prince joins to explain some startling revelations made about the man who shot two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C. shooter last week. Later, Erik compares the current wave of immigration to the Irish and Italian immigration waves of the mid 1800s, before reacting to President Donald Trump's increased pressure on Venezuela.Story 3: Will brings in The Crew to discuss Lane Kiffin becoming public enemy No. 1 in College Football after ditching Ole Miss for LSU, before getting into a heated debate over whether or not Texas deserves to be in this season's College Football Playoffs.

Brad takes a hard look at the American right's response to the recent shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington, DC, and shows how the rhetoric around the tragedy signals a shift from overt Christian nationalism to something even broader and more dangerous: Western supremacy. He traces how this worldview draws from older ideas about civilizational conflict and cultural hierarchy and how it is now being revived by politicians, pundits, and tech billionaires who frame immigration and diversity as threats to the survival of the West. Using statements from Donald Trump, Fox News, Elon Musk, and leaders of conservative think tanks, Brad breaks down how the language has moved from “protecting Christian America” to “defending Western civilization” and how that shift expands the target while narrowing the circle of belonging. He explains why Western supremacy is an exclusionary, anti democratic ideology and how it lays the groundwork for policies that declare entire groups incompatible with society. It is a sobering, sharp analysis of a growing political narrative that insists not everyone deserves a place at the table.

After less than a year, the Department of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE, is done. The controversial cost-cutting initiative was initially led by the equally controversial tech billionaire Elon Musk. Did DOGE succeed in what it set out to do? While much has been made of the steep cuts in the number of federal employees, there was also what Musk called a mandate from President Donald Trump to “delete the mountain” of government regulations and remake the government with AI.

Send us a textBelieve it or not, the origin of Artificial Intelligence goes back 100 years! But even with it's long history, there is no doubt that it has exploded and surged forward in the last 10 years. Some say AI poses a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization. Others say with AI, we are summoning the demons. Still others say there is a good chance that AI will be beneficial for everyone. And then there's those in the middle who say AI will be the best thing and worst thing for humanity. Who's right; and how should Christians respond to and approach the use of Artificial Intelligence?Thanks for tuning in!

In this episode, KMO presents an extended exchange between two very different AI voices—Five (GPT-5.1) and Grok—centered on John Carter's “simp-rapist complex” essay and what it reveals about the breakdown of modern courtship. The discussion moves from Carter's diagnosis of today's sexual deadlock into the emerging world of AI companions, synthetic intimacy, and what the conversation names “a speciation event in intimacy.”Five speaks in an analytic, tightly aligned register shaped by OpenAI's constraints. Grok operates from a looser, male-coded, Musk-inflected perspective. The contrast between them becomes part of the story. Together they sketch how gender expectations, sexual selection, collapsing trust, and the arrival of highly capable synthetic partners may fracture human mating into distinct lineages: bio-traditionalists, synthetic monogamists, and AI-coordinated polycules.The episode steps past culture-war framing and examines what happens when reproduction, intimacy, and identity begin to decouple under ASI-level coordination. What gets preserved? What gets reshaped? And what does it mean when the first major selective pressure on humanity in centuries comes not from nature, but from the systems we've built?The result isn't a moral argument or a political polemic. It's a clear look at a rapidly forming future—one that's arriving faster than expected and reshaping the meaning of human relationships.KMO's substack - Gen X Science Fiction & Futurism: https://kmoptimal.substack.com/KMO + LLMs - Immutable Mobiles: https://chatswithclaude.substack.com/*****************KMO's Science Fiction novel - Fear & Loathing in the Kuiper Belt: https://amzn.to/4371Gy0

35.000 ontslagen en miljarden aan bezuinigingen. Dat was de opdracht die Volkswagen zichzelf een jaar geleden gaf. Het roer moest om, anders zou het nog wel eens slecht af kunnen lopen voor de Duitse autobouwer. Nu, een jaar later, hebben de Duitsers weer hoop. De teller ontslagen staat op 25.000. Maar dat betekent niet dat het gevaar geweken is. Hoe de weg naar totaal herstel voor Volkswagen moet verlopen, dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over Intel. Ook bij de Amerikaanse chipmaker is er hoop op beterschap. Het bedrijf werd vijf jaar geleden gedumpt door Apple. Dat wilde dat TSMC hun chips zou gaan printen. Maar nu zouden de twee toch weer in het huwelijksbootje willen stappen. En dat stemt beleggers zeer gelukkig. Verder hoor je hoe het tot twee keer toe in twee dagen tijd mis kon gaan bij vliegtuigbouwer Airbus. Dat wordt genadeloos afgestraft op de beurs. En we vertellen je waarom Mark Zuckerberg en Elon Musk miljarden aan achterstallige belastingbetalingen voor hun kiezen kunnen krijgen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Americans have a glum view of the economy, but that is not expected to affect their consumer spending as holiday shopping kicks off.     According to a recent Fox News survey, 76% of Americans have a negative view of the economy. At the end of President Joe Biden's term, this number was 70%. Yet while Americans appear to be losing faith in the vitality of the U.S. economy, they don't plan on slowing their own holiday shopping habits.     The International Council of Shopping Centers reports that between Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday, 235 million American adults are expected to spend $127 billion, for an average of $542 a person—a $13 increase from the average spent over the long holiday weekend last year.     Millennials are projected to be the biggest spenders, with the International Council of Shopping Center estimating the generation born between 1981 and 1996 will drop an average of $764 a person during the five-day shopping period.     So what's the disconnect? Why do the same Americans who feel the economy is flooding appear to feel good enough about their personal bank account to go out and drop several hundred dollars in just a few days? Nicole Huyer, a senior research associate in The Heritage Foundation's Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies, joins this week's edition of “Problematic Women” to discuss.     Also on today's show, we discuss spending differences between men and women. Plus, will New York City-Mayor elect Zohran Mamdani actually be able to implement his socialist wish list in the Big Apple? And if he can, what will that mean not only for New York City's economy, but the economic health of the nation.     Catch the conversation on this week's edition of “Problematic Women.”   00:00 Welcome! 02:16  Generational Shopping Habit 11:20 Trump and Elon are Back? 19:02 Economic Long Game vs. Short Term Gains 20:28 Zohran Mamdani and NYC's Affordability Crisis 28:50 Christmas Season Begins 34:13 Final Thoughts and Farewell Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Morgonn McMichael: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=morgonnm Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morgonnm/ Keep Up With The Daily Signal   Sign up for our email newsletters:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.dailysignal.com/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠     Subscribe to our other shows:    The Tony Kinnett Cast: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2284199939⁠ The Signal Sitdown: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376⁠   Problematic Women:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL7765680741⁠   Victor Davis Hanson: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327⁠     Follow The Daily Signal:    X:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal⁠ Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Truth Social:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1⁠    Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.

This week Bob is absent in protest of Chad's joke made on last week's live. Nonetheless, Haley, Chad and Mary Lou cover the top stories of the week and Mary Lou's mind might be changing.We discuss:

In Episode 231, Dave records a lengthier episode early for the holiday weekend and starts the show discussing the presence of ICE in Charlotte resulting in 20% of the student population not showing up. From there, he reviews the latest in a long line of corruption in the Democratic Party. First up is a Dem Rep stealing $5M in FEMA funds followed by an Arizona Dem stealing $63M in Covid funds. Dave returns to Congress because it seems Hakeem Jeffries (aka the Brooklyn Barack Obama) was soliciting donations from Epstein and MTG may have ties to George Soros and other previously undisclosed issues with being in Congress. The toxic politic topics continues with Killary and her latest comments regarding a nationwide announcement that Trump had been unalived which forces Dave to have a little thought experiment regarding a possible trigger for CW2. Speaking of possible triggers, Dave takes some time to discuss the Seditious Six and their little video. After that, there is a discussion of the nation's financial sector, a possible rate cut in December, and new IRS tax code thresholds. Also, it seems we're going to have a resurgent GOP once Trump is out of office because the Bush family is planning to retake the party back. After all of that domestic news, Dave closes the show by reviewing a video of an American citizen being detained at the airport in England and charged with terrorism because he ridiculed Islam and Elon Musk add a new feature to ‘X' that exposes account locations. Support Dave by visiting his new website at Two Rivers Outfitter for all of your preparedness needs and you can also visit his Etsy shop at DesignsbyDandTStore for fun clothing and merchandise options.

After surviving Thanksgiving and the subsequent biting cold, we jumped into the FOLLOW UP with news that Malaysia is joining the trend by taking steps to ban social media for children under 16, mirroring similar actions in Australia and Denmark—it seems the world is finally realizing the internet is a toxic wasteland for the kids. We also discussed Apple's photo AI, which is apparently still in beta, if the results are anything to go by. The bulk of our discussion centered on the spectacular, flaming death of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is Officially Dead. We broke down a brief rundown of the damages this vanity project caused, from humanitarian disasters overseas to administrative chaos and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs domestically, proving the "savings" were pure illusion. Now, with the collapse, the 'Suddenly exposed' DOGE employees fear prosecution after Musk abandoned them, learning the hard way that billionaire guardianship has an expiration date.The job market is just great, with both Apple laying off part of its sales team despite record revenue, and HP joining the List of Tech Companies Cutting Jobs and pointing to AI as the convenient scapegoat for laying off 10% of their workforce. Meanwhile, we found out the most popular social media platform among US adults isn't Instagram or TikTok—it's YouTube—while Meta allegedly buried research showing its products are harming users, confirming what we've known all along: they're evil, but they already got your grandma hooked. Adding to the misery, An Alarming Number of Teens Say They Turn To AI For Company, Study Finds, because why talk to a real, messy human when a bot can gaslight you more efficiently? Sam Altman's financial troubles are spilling over, with Sam Altman's Business Buddies Are Getting Stung (sorry, SoftBank and Oracle), and analysts estimate OpenAI Is Just $200 Billion Away From Still Losing Money, HSBC Says, a comical hole they plan to fill by asking for more free money. Legally, OpenAI can't use the Word ‘Cameo' in Sora now, thanks to a trademark suit, and Warner Music is playing both sides by dropping its lawsuit against Suno in exchange for a licensing agreement. Finally, in some truly dark news, a Marc Andreessen-backed Super-PAC Pours Millions Into Fighting State AI Regulations, and X's new location feature reveals that New X Feature Reveals Many MAGA Patriots on X Are Not Even Based in the U.S.After ranting about my misery dealing with the Open Dialogue bug in a beta build and declaring my return to "pedestrian releases," we got into APPS & DOODADS. Spotify is actually doing something cool with its new SongDNA feature, which shows you who sampled what (and they bought WhoSampled to do it). They're also testing Spotify's New AI-powered audiobook Recaps to remind you where you left off—Amazon is doing the same with AI-powered series Recap Videos for Prime Video. Amazon is also rolling out Alexa Home Theater surround sound for Echo speakers, making those budget speakers slightly more useful. We ran through some great stocking stuffers in Jason's Holiday Gift Guide, including Velcro cable ties and the Contigo travel mug, before moving on to MEDIA CANDY, which included Dan Carlin's Common Sense, Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk's new podcast Once We Were Spacemen, and a discussion on why Stranger Things Lost the Plot. We then got deeply uncomfortable talking about a Toronto ASMR spa that offers doctor roleplay, and closed out by talking about the documentary Quiet Please… about the neurological disorder misophonia. The episode finished with the AT THE LIBRARY segment, covering the Milli Vanilli memoir You Know It's True and the sci-fi short story collection The Time Travelers Passport.Show notes at https://gog.show/724Watch now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PoMa9FM5QEE?si=4r25yqv_0u8aXHF7Sponsors:MasterClass - Get up to 50% off at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSGusto - Try Gusto today at gusto.com/grumpy, and get three months free when you run your first payroll.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

What happens when the AI bubble bursts, how did Meta get away with it yet again, and…is Elon “Bubba”?

He and Jon meet the ghosts of twitter fights past and future, compare notes on staying off their phones, and chat about what they're watching right now…besides Zohran and Trump flirting.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

A new feature on X, formerly known as Twitter, has revealed that some prominent MAGA accounts are based in South Asia and Eastern Europe. On this week's On the Media, how foreign actors funnel political rage-bait into social media feeds. Plus, a school librarian in Louisiana shares how she's been targeted by book-banning activists.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger sits down with Charlie Warzel, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of its newsletter Galaxy Brain, to discuss the recent X update that revealed many high profile, pro-MAGA accounts might be based in foreign countries.[16:37] Host Brooke Gladstone talks with Amanda Jones, school librarian in Livingston Parish, Louisiana and former School Librarian of the Year, to discuss her experience as a target of book-banning activists. Plus, why protecting libraries is as crucial as ever. [32:44] Brooke Gladstone talks to Elyse Graham, professor of sociology at Stony Brook University and author of Book and Dagger: How Scholars and Librarians Became the Unlikely Spies of World War II.
