Bessent claims a strategic blockade has trapped 30 million barrels of oil at sea while predicting new pipelines will bypass the Strait of Hormuz within two years. This aggressive financial maneuver coincides with a synchronized global AI outage that simultaneously disabled services for OpenAI, Anthropic, and XAI, raising questions about the stability of the digital frontier. In the United States, a USPS whistleblower has exposed a secretive federal portal being developed under a Donald Trump executive order to verify mail-in ballots against DHS records. Meanwhile, surveillance concerns mount as Flock Safety cameras are found to emit 2.4 GHz signals that interfere with vehicle Bluetooth systems, potentially tracking mobile devices via Signal Trace technology. In Europe, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is pushing for the mobilization of private savings into euro bonds to address a looming crisis involving German pension funds and a suspected Russian hybrid drone attack at Leipzig Airport. Adam Curry celebrates the 1900th episode from Rotterdam alongside guest co-host Rob Due, who shares a firsthand account of law enforcement provocateurs at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Due details his time on the Grumpy Old Men tour while Curry navigates his new status as a grandfather. The duo examines the strange case of actor Ricky Schroder, who recently claimed to be a childhood asset for a CIA counter-programming operation designed to fight foreign brainwashing. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

European Financial Crisis, German Pension Funds, Digital Euro (41:29–44:51) Financial analyst Tom Luongo suggests that European leaders are seeking a war to manage a looming crisis involving German pension funds and tightening bond spreads. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed mobilizing private savings into euro bonds to address the lack of a financial union. The situation is framed as a "financial war" between the US dollar and the Euro.

Trump Mail-In Ballot Executive Order, USPS Whistleblower (54:06–1:03:35) A USPS whistleblower has raised concerns about a "rushed and secretive" portal being built to verify mail-in ballots under a mandate from President Trump. The system would require state election officials to upload voter rolls to a federal portal for verification against DHS records before ballots are mailed. While critics warn of potential disenfranchisement and "catastrophic failure," the hosts suggest the technical implementation should be straightforward, potentially involving assistance from Elon Musk.

Data Center Speculative Bubble, Private Equity Real Estate (1:03:35–1:08:57) Penetration tester Carl warns of a speculative bubble in data center construction, driven by private equity firms racing for IPOs before investors realize the limitations of current AI models. The rapid development often involves marketing promises of jobs that fail to materialize, while communities face issues with noise and water usage for cooling. The trend is compared to previous real estate booms in shopping malls and private prisons.

Nvidia Acquisition of Hugging Face, Open Source AI (1:08:57–1:11:19) Nvidia has acquired Hugging Face, the leading provider of open-source AI models, a move that could significantly undercut the business models of "frontier" companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. This shift allows corporations to run models on local hardware rather than relying on expensive per-token API costs. The hosts discuss how this impacts the "surveillance state" narrative pushed by major AI labs.

Registered Capital Bonds for Data Centers, Infrastructure Legacy (1:11:20–1:14:43) A proposed solution for communities hosting data centers involves requiring "registered capital bonds" to guarantee funding for local jobs and blight repair if the companies collapse. This approach ensures that the municipality retains value even if the speculative bubble bursts. The current data center boom is compared to the 19th-century railroad expansion and the dot-com fiber optic build-out, which left behind useful infrastructure despite corporate failures.

Jevons Paradox in AI Token Usage (1:14:44–1:17:07) AI labs are citing Jevons Paradox—an 19th-century economic theory regarding steam engine efficiency—to argue that falling token prices will stimulate enough new demand to increase overall consumption. This theory is being used to reassure investors about margin pressure as cheaper open-source alternatives enter the market. However, for companies like Anthropic and OpenAI to benefit, token volume must grow faster than the rate of price decline.

Maria Bartiromo Departure from Fox News (1:17:08–1:17:57) Maria Bartiromo has reportedly left Fox News after 12 years with the network and over 30 years in television journalism. Speculation suggests she may be considered for a role as White House Press Secretary in a future administration.

AI Impact on Financial Services Hiring (1:17:56–1:20:29) Hiring in the financial services sector has reached its lowest rate since 2011, suggesting that enterprise AI may be starting to displace white-collar roles like banking analysts. While some view this as a "doomer" scenario, others see it as a boom for productivity, with firms using tools like Claude to replace expensive legacy software packages from major consultants.

Local AI Hardware, Asus DGX 128GB Machine (1:20:29–1:24:09) Adam Curry describes acquiring an Asus-branded DGX machine with 128GB of RAM to run AI models locally, avoiding monthly subscription fees and cloud outages. The machine, which has doubled in price due to RAM costs, allows for high-performance tasks without relying on commercial APIs. The discussion touches on the measurement of "compute" in flops versus power consumption.

Trump on Data Center Power Generation (1:24:10–1:27:08) Donald Trump has encouraged communities to embrace data center construction, arguing they bring wealth and lower taxes. However, residents in regions like Franklin County and Virginia have raised concerns about noise, water usage, and a reported $14 billion increase in electricity bills tied to grid expansions for these facilities. The hosts criticize smart home devices like Nest thermostats for prioritizing grid stability over consumer comfort.
