AI Is A Lie | The President Is Suing You


Listen Later

Today is February 18th — and 83 years ago today, Sophie Scholl was arrested for distributing resistance leaflets at a German university. She was tried in a sham trial and executed. We open there because it matters. It is not a coincidence that it's becoming illegal to say "fuck ICE" in 2026 America.


Here's what's in today's episode:


THE GOVERNMENT IS READING YOUR POSTS — DHS is issuing administrative subpoenas to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Substack, and more — with no judicial warrant. If you've documented an ICE arrest or posted anything critical, your data may already be in their hands. The broligarchs are handing it over. And the Nancy Guthrie/Ring camera story proves the surveillance state isn't built for your safety — it's built for your control.


AI IS A LIE THEY'RE SELLING YOU — A new survey of thousands of CEOs reveals the AI revolution isn't what they're promising. Two-thirds of execs use it less than two hours a week. 90% say it hasn't affected employment at all. Confidence in the tech has dropped 18%. And the CEO of Anthropic just admitted he doesn't know if his AI is conscious. They're burning billions. You can't pay rent.


TRUMP WANTS TO START A WAR WITH IRAN — Insiders say he's "fed up" with stalled nuclear talks and dangerously close to launching a military operation far bigger than last June's strikes. Iran has 90 million people. This isn't a police action. This is a regional catastrophe waiting to happen — driven by an impulsive 79-year-old who already invaded Venezuela.


RFK JR.'S YEAR OF DAMAGE — One year of Kennedy at HHS. The CDC's vaccine advisory committee gutted and replaced with skeptics. The childhood immunization schedule cut from 17 to 11. Thousands of research grants canceled. Four states suing to stop $600 million in funding cuts. Three measles deaths. The most preeminent public health organization in the history of the planet, gutted by a man with a brain worm.


YOUR TARIFF TAX BILL: $1,300 — The evidence is undeniable. The average American household is now paying $1,300 more this year because of Trump's tariffs. He promised they'd punish foreign countries. Instead, Canada is boycotting our industries. Las Vegas casinos are eating 30% losses just to lure Canadian tourists back. The liquor industry in the South is devastated. You are paying the bill.


THE PRESIDENT IS SUING YOU FOR $10 BILLION — Trump filed a lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. Tax returns that showed he paid almost nothing in federal taxes — something he once called being "smart." The lawsuit is decided by his own DOJ. He is suing you. He is settling with himself. This is naked corruption.


And we close with the most important thing: the ask. Not a protest. Not a march. Just one conversation. One person. Today. Here's how to do it.
