The AI Apocalypse Is Here To K*ll Us All.. Maybe?
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.

Israel/Iran, Tucker and Ted Cruz, & The Dems Love Getting Arrested (ft. Simone & Malcolm Collins)
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.

RFK Gets Grilled By Congress, Trump’s Insane Start To His Presidency, & DeepSeek Starts An AI War
EPISODE #85 : Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took to Capital Hill this week for his hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on Thursday. There was some hope that he might attract some Democratic support, but he quickly faced a furry of angry Democrat senators. Trump is having one of the most consequential first two weeks in office. Regardless of your views of Trump, the number of executive orders show that he came prepared this time around. DeepSeek AI emerged from China and took out the entire US stock market.

LA Is On Fire & Trump’s Manifest Destiny | PIRATE WIRES EP#82 🏴‍☠️
EPISODE #82: Anything happen while we were away? Our excitement for the new year fell off a cliff this week as Los Angelas caught on fire. The typical climate change narratives were used by politicians, but this event seems to be a complete failure of California government policies. Are we even sure it was a natural disaster at this point? Trump came in swinging in the new year, suggesting renaming the Panama Canal to the America Canal as well as a rebrand of The Gulf Of America. What is Trump’s actual plan here? Mark Zuckerberg continues his based journey by announcing that Meta will no longer use fact checkers. And finally, while you were away, an H1B war was waged on Twitter.
