Welcome back to the pod! Liv Boeree is back with us this week. A leaked taped caught Gavin Newsom declaring that the DSA is the future of the Democrat party. Around the same time, another video went viral showing a college girl celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination in front of his friend. Is this the future that the party is supporting? We then get into the midterms and how it will affect the tech industry. Will we have a blue wave? Or is the polling and early voting incorrect? Next up is the much discussed Elizabeth Holmes doc.. we break it all down in the way only Pirate Wires can! Finally, a white pill for Anduril's American made laptop.

Welcome back to the pod! Bridget Phetasy joins us this week. Elon Musk became an enemy in the political sphere as pundits, like Kara Swisher, stated that Elon would likely be in jail if Kamala was elected. This was said on the same week that Elon pledged to give every child in America one share of SpaceX, and introduced a flying car with the Tesla Roadster. We then break down the California Wealth Tax vote that is coming soon and if Ilhan Omar really did commit immigration fraud. Thankfully, we end on a high note with a white pill, discussing flying cars, the tech optimist future, and how and how to remove stress when scrolling social media.

This week on the pod. Liv Boeree is back! We discuss how NYC is protecting illegal criminals, while prioritizing getting rid of horse carriages in Central Park, why you can no longer be mean to Claude, the cyber attack on a French grocery store, and why we should be pushing to d/acc. Also, woke continues to make a comeback.. the ladies get mad at Shane Gillis' SNL monologue about how women dress as 'whores' in the gym, Metallica frontman James Hetfield receives hate online for not saying the thing everyone wants him to say, and Kelly Clarkson battles with a small business in Brooklyn. Finally, Liv and Solana compare algos to demonstrate just how we all live in different universes online.

At the same time, French President, Emmanuel Macron, took the stage to denounce America's version of free speech.

This week on the pod, we’re joined by the great @Liv_Boeree! We’re breaking down another crazy week in the AI tech space. From Trump inviting all the tech leaders to DC, to renaming AI to “Super Intelligence”, to Bernie’s AI bill endorsed by doomer groups. We also discuss the infamous data center party in DC that our own Jonas Du put together. Next up, we have @katrosenfield join us to discuss the controversial “Cornell 7” SI case that is taking over the discourse. Kat provides us with insights from her piece that she just wrote in The Free Press. Finally, a white pill! The government made a website that actually doesn’t suck. Are we in a new age of government efficiency?

Welcome back to the pod! Today we're talking abundance. After Trump's deal with Greenland this week, we break down that, despite the flaws of the administration, Trump has positioned himself as the abundance president when it comes to American advancement (while the Democrats' abundance agenda has fallen apart.) Also on the show, a NYT writer virtue signals her way into sending her kid to a terrible public school, woke is so back as a lesbian bar breaks the internet for removing their mask mandate, and we have a white pill in human brain development side of science!

Welcome back to the pod! Bridget Phetasy returns to the Pirate Wires podcast as one of our esteemed cohosts. This past week, the internet was consumed by the AI doomerism conversation. The tech people are supporting AI at all costs, the doomers are making their opinions heard, and we at Pirate Wires.. are unsure. We dive into all of the discourse, how Peter Thiel predicted the AI antichrist, the white pill of AI, and we even get into Sydney Sweeney's boobs. We have it all!

It's goodbye for now. But you never know when we may raise the pirate flag again 🏴‍☠️

EPISODE #97: This past week, the U.S. found itself on the brink of WWIII due to the Iran/Israel crises. Will Trump get us involved in another war? To be honest, none of us want to talk about this, but it’s present in every part of our culture right now. To cope, we get into the viral clip of Tucker calling out Ted Cruz. Elsewhere in the news, the hottest new trend for Dems is to get arrested, and the March To Gaza ends at the hands of Egyptian police. Finally, we make the case why every American needs to be in shape, and Solana gives us his white pill, why we are truly living in amazing times right now.

People like Katy Perry are now rewriting the history of California and America, and the protest extend to multiple cities. Finally, Greta makes it to Israel on her selfie yacht.

EPISODE #90: Welcome back to the pod! Elon took hits from all angles this week. Tesla cars & chargers are being attacked, the stock is down, X went down on Monday, and the people are protesting. The good news? Trump will take one of those Teslas! Our president seemed very impressed with the car, proclaiming “Wow… everything’s computer”. A battle of citizenship is underway as Federal immigration authorities detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University. Are we abusing free speech rights? In the latest tech news, Sam Altman & ChatGPT release a new model that is going after creative writing.. but is it actually any good? Finally.. the pod bros competition. On one side, Gavin Newsom interviewed Steve Bannon (what?) and on the other side, Michelle Obama's new podcast can barely crack 20k subscribers on YT. The media landscape has changed and it looks like Gavin understands the game better than anyone on the left.

EPISODE #89: This week, we brought our bingo paddles to watch Trump’s address to Congress. Within minutes, everything was out of control. The ladies were dressed in pink, they waved signs, and Al Green was removed. We get into the the decline of decorum, how the Democrat party is completely lost right now, and how culture has completely shifted to the right. Their potential savior may be none other than Gavin Newsom and his new podcast! Compared to left influencers like Hasan Piker who call for the k*lling of senators, maybe Newsom is not all that bad for Democrats? Also, we have a guest this week! Aella joins the show to talk everything s*x, appearing on the “Whatever Podcast”, and where she see’s s*x culture in America.

EPISODE #88: Welcome Back! Jeff Bezos sent shock waves through left wing media. The opinion section of the Washington Post will be undergoing rapid change by emphasizing personal liberties and free markets. This, of course, sent the media into a spiral. It's been a bad month for leftwing media with the AP being banned from the White House Press Room and now MSNBC is cancelling shows like Joy Reid's. The resistance is fighting back with sw*stikas on Teslas and waiting outside Luigi Mangione's court room. Solana gives us his thoughts on the EU update after his travels, and we bring on special guest Ashley to break down what the hell is going on at Reddit.

EPISODE #: This week, we experienced a constitutional crises.. we think? Why is everyone losing their mind over Trump’s basic executive powers? The DOGE team continues to be hard at work, but some believe that these young men should be put in jail. We continue to dig through the wreckage of the Democratic party. In other news, the Super Bowl halftime show was bad, the media refuses to acknowledge the Gulf of America and Elon & Sam Altman continue to wage AI wars.
