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 #80 : Mamma Mia! Luigi Mangione was arrested this past week. We get into the discourse of it all. Democrat politicians are supporting his decision? Insane comments from AOC and Elizabeth Warren. But.. is Luigi actually the killer?? Is he gay? We got the all the *alleged* details. Justice prevailed this week as Daniel Penny was acquitted of all charges. Groups like BLM returned to their normal race rhetoric, but it didn’t quite hit the same, confirming a societal vibe shift from 2020. Finally, mystery drones in New Jersey, Governor Trudeau, and defund the police activist gets robbed in San Francisco. Enjoy!

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!

EPISODE #78: Welcome back to the pod! Eade Bengard joins us this week. NYC crime has gotten completely out of hand this week. A knife wielding crazy person walked around Manhattan stabbing 3 people. Meanwhile, our elected officials only care about taking more money from working class citizens. Mainstream media downfall continues. Morning Joe ratings plummet. What’s the future of these shows? Perhaps you shouldn’t have spent all this time calling Trump the next Hitler? Pirate Idol returns! We explain the rise of the “Broligarchy” (whatever that is) and we get you ready for Thanksgiving with the family! If you’re a toxic uncle, this pod is for you!

Eerything from the 4B movement, to liberals on threads, to celebrities leaving X. Should Elon be concerned about what X is becoming? Pirate Idol returns! We have two semifinalists ready to compete for the next round. And finally, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is here. What should we expect from Elon & Vivek.

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.)

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
