EPISODE #39: Welcome back to the pod! This week, we get right into the absolute insanity of Google’s Gemini A.I. Image Generator. Twitter erupted in activity earlier this week when people were using the AI, only to find that it was nearly impossible to generate a white person (despite historical inaccuracies.) We get into all of the hilariously absurd examples. Next up, what do Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and Joe Biden all have in common? Well clearly it’s their attempt to take over the election this year! (but also.. probably not.) We get in to the conspiracy of it all. Finally, Sanjana breaks down her piece on how a local government successfully ended homeless camps. Another fun one! Hope you enjoy!

EPISODE #46: Back at it again! This week we have a discussion around "disinformation experts". What makes these people experts, (aside from Mike Solana of course) and why do they only blame misinformation on the right wing? We think you know why. Meta was in the news this past week. From Boomers getting fooled by AI images, to the decision to limit political news ahead of the election season. Ron DeSantis signs a bill to ban social media for kids in Florida. Do you agree? Finally, Sanjana breaks down her piece on Jo Boaler, the woman who dismantled Algebra education in San Francisco.

EPISODE #48: Your favorite podcast is back. This week we start off with a story that could only happen on the internet. Investor and Founder of Y Combinator, Paul Graham, tweeted out that he was able to spot the use of ChatGPT in a pitch email over use of the word "delve". This might seem uneventful to most, but for the nation of Nigeria, it was war. We discuss the use of language, and you'll get a behind the scenes look into how the Pirate Wires staff approaches writing. Then, Elon Musk takes on the nation of Brazil over freedom of speech. Finally, Sanjana shares an insane story of a school in SF teaching sexual terminology to kids.

EPISODE #29: Special Emergency Pod! Mike Solana is joined by Ryan Petersen, Founder & CEO of Flexport, a multi-national supply chain management & logistics company. In the past month, the Yemen led Houthi movement began attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea. These attacks were prompted by the continued conflict between Israel and Palestine as a retaliation against Israel's allies. The results has been a rerouting of ships around the Suez Canal, shipping delays, and dramatic price increases. Ryan helps us break down the entire situation and addresses the fears of how this could escalate into a regional war.

EPISODE #47: The Pirate Wires crew is here for your weekly podcast! This week, we kick things off with FTC Chair, Lina Khan, appearing on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. From the standing ovation, to the blatant speak of dismantling tech companies, we analyze exactly what she said. We then get into the "Right To Disconnect" bill introduced in California, that would effectively punish companies who message an employee after 5pm. Next up, the war on algebra continues! Last week, we discussed Jo Boaler in San Francisco. This week, we dive into the insane discourse around the Garry Tan funded company, Mentrava. Finally, squatters all around the nation, from NYC to San Francisco. River breaks down his piece on an organization in SF that's actively helping people to find places to squat. It's all crazy! We're here to help navigate it all.

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. Are DeepSeek's claims real? and how will this effect America’s AI supremacy? And finally, we are the media now. Will Pirate Wires soon take over the White House press briefing room?

EPISODE #24: This week, the Pirate Wires staff is off for the Thanksgiving holiday. But fear not! We're re-releasing a special interview that Mike Solana recently recorded with Peter Thiel, in case you missed it. This is a must watch for the Pirate Nation. We'll be back to your regularly scheduled, clown world induced, programing next week.

Nearly 30 years after publishing "The Diversity Myth," Peter Thiel sits down with Mike Solana to unpack what the book got right and wrong. Thiel argues that social distractions have stunted scientific progress, slowed economic growth and weakened our geopolitical standing. How did anti-Western rhetoric popularized on college campuses in the 90s morph into the culture wars that divide our country today? How can we move past this pessimistic, hyper-political moment and continue building the future? Featuring Mike Solana & Peter Thiel Subscribe to Pirate Wires:

The most talked about feature, was the human-like AI that sounded like AI girlfriends are closer that we though. Next up, Biden & Trump have agreed to debates soon.

Sanjana dives into her new piece for Pirate Wires that has gotten the internet bros big mad. Finally, we have a debut!!

Episode #79: We’re back.. and in person! This week, the PW crew is in Miami.. so we’re finally doing an in person episode. Don’t mind our festive hats. The UnitedHealthcare CEO was assassinated in New York City this past week. What looked like another story on crime in NYC, quickly turned into a full on targeted attack. The deranged left took to social media to celebrate the death of a health insurance CEO. The journalist leading the charge was none other than friend of the pod, Taylor Lorenz. We get into the dark timeline of what discourse like this could lead to. Hunter Biden was pardoned in a surprise move by Joe Biden. Who will be pardoned next? Pirate Idol is back! This time, the married couple battles it out! We discuss the gender affirmation bill in Tennessee and Elon Musk’s Tesla stock denied by the judge. Enjoy the show!

Tons of stories regarding the DOGE cuts to the federal government, but what exactly have we been paying for? Is Politico a government sponsored media company? What we do know is that the team working with Elon in charge with fixing our government spending are quite based. From ancient scrolls, to a shit poster known as ’Big Balls. We get into all of the reactions from another insane week in the Trump administration.

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 #50: We made it to episode 50! This week, Liz Wolfe is joining us to discuss the week that was. We start off with the TikTok divestiture bill that was signed into law by President Biden, and was conveniently placed into a foreign aid package for Ukraine & Israel. Next up, Ivy League colleges shut down over yay-Hamas protests. Is all anti-semitism? Or just an excuse for kids to go glamping with their friends. We transition into protests at work and woke activism. Coinbase started the trend years ago with mission driven company, and now their bet is on the right side of history. Finally, the NPR story gets even better (or worse). Katherine Maher appears to be involved with the CIA. Enjoy!

EPISODE #75: This week, we take a look at how podcasts are shaping this years election. Our guest this week, John Coogan, called this out months ago when predicting election season. But has it actually been a net positive for the candidates? Polymarket has been heavily favoring a Trump victory. However, there’s something here that everyone is missing. Trump visits McDonald’s in an Americana scene out of a Normal Rockwell painting. Liberal women cope and seethe after men no longer protect them in major cities (see: Daniel Penny). And we tell you why cyclists are the worst people

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. We’ll catch you up on everything that happened. Happy New Year! (?)

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.

We also discuss the clownish demands from the NYT Tech Workers who are threatening to strike. Israel pulls off the sneak attack on Hezbollah by targeting beepers.

EPISODE #69 (nice): This week, we gotta get into this crazy story out of Springfield, Ohio. A town of 60,000 has become overrun by 20,000 Haitian migrants. Things took a weird turn this past week when reports of migrants stealing pets and eating them started to pop up on Facebook. This led to an AI meme war, JD Vance tweeting about it, and Trump yelling about it on the debate. Speaking of the debate, we react to this week’s Presidential debate with Trump/Harris. We were fed the typical political slop that we expected, but it Harris did much better than anticipated. Finally, another round of Pirate Idol! 3 fresh contestants take the stage to compete for a co-hosting spot on the pod.

Will this be good for the platform, or just bring more chaos? IVF has become a talking point online as the right constantly looks for ways to blow their lead in the election. An anon account on Twitter shows up to take down all of the Twitter influencers. His claims don’t seem to have much substance, but it showed a yearning for these people to be taken down. Nationalism is on the rise in Europe. Why is this happening? and why are we seeing the same thing happen in America? It’s pride month! We discuss the silly moments in pride and why we’ve seen an anti-pride movement.

EPISODE #71: Welcome Back to the pod! The NYC clown show took center stage as Eric Adams was indicted. We had to bring on our producer and resident NYC defended, Matt, to talk trash about the city.

Also, Meta introduced the Orion AR glasses. Is this the world we really want? Cards For Humanity sues Space-X? And finally, we've reached the QUARTER FINALS of Pirate Idol. 3 Returning Guests fight for a spot to be the next great PW contributor. Leave your votes below.

San Francisco should be the greatest city in the world, and that’s the goal. One where crime is illegal, NGO grifters are removed, public transportation is solvent, and the budget is balanced. Things, in other words, should just be normal.

Pirate Wires recently endorsed Mark Farrell to become the next mayor of San Francisco. In this interview, Mark joins us to give his vision for the future of San Francisco and why he will bring the city back to it’s glory.

With the election only a few days away, the path forward is clear (for people who aren’t insane.)

We dive into the Polymarkets and make predictions as to what may happen in the election. We then discuss Trump's declaration that he will get rid of the Department Of Education. Which raises the question, what exactly does The Dept. Of Ed do anyway? Next up, the 2020-era grifters are continuing to be exposed. We discuss the anti-racist that is Ibram x. Kendi. Finally, we have some major white pill! SpaceX has a successful rocket launch and landing. We’re going to Mars!

And finally, our pal (the one who claims that math is racist), Jo Boaler, is back with her new book Math-ish. We also have some sad news at the end of the show :(

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.

A group on the internet is doxxing Tesla Owners, and major figures on the left cheer on the terrorism of their fellow citizens. Internet slop is everywhere, what can we actually believe? We dive into the latest slop controversy involving Democrat cheerleader Harry Sisson. Also this week, Gavin Newsom is learning, JFK files were revealed, and what is actually going on with Ilhan Omar and the “fact checkers” at Snopes?

Featuring Mike Solana, Brandon Gorrell, Riley Nork, Bridget Phetasy, Kartik Sathappan, Ashley Rindsberg

In this episode, Mike Solana is joined by Christoper Rufo, writer, activist, and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Chris has been in the headlines the past few months due to his public battle against DEI policies. Specifically, his efforts to have Harvard President, Claudine Gay, removed from her position. In this episode, we get into why Chis is on this mission, why DEI policies are so destructive, and how we can solve this issue.

EPISODE #73: Welcome back! Hurricane Milton approached Florida as a Category 5 Hurricane. The lead up to landfall was filled with insane discourse. Harris & DeSantis went at it, and the hard right called the entire thing a government made conspiracy. Trump & Harris took to the media tours this week. The stark differences in which shows they went on highlighted the gaps in voters. Speaking of the Presidential race, Trump currently owns a large lead on Harris. But is this all because of MAGA whales and Peter Thiel? Finally, Pirate Idol returns with the next round of quarterfinals. Is Elon musk the secret Presidential candidate behind Trump?

EPISODE #58: Welcome back! This week, Pirate Wires found itself in the middle of some breaking news. We reported news about an official Trump crypto coin that Barron Trump was spearheading. The aftermath was chaotic.. and we're reacting to all of it. Next up, we discuss John Coogan’s piece in Pirate Wires this week on the right wing vibe shift in tech. Is it even real? Or just overblown by a few major donors? We are then joined by special guest. Patrick Blumenthal gives us a live report from Ukraine. What is the feeling like day-to-day in Ukraine, and how are tech companies doing amidst the war? Finally, the clown show that is Just Stop Oil. This week they attacked Stonehenge. All of these attacks on sacred monuments makes us just want to burn more oil.

Featuring Mike Solana, Sanjana Friedman, John Coogan, Patrick Blumenthal
