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! (?)  Featuring Mike Solana, Riley Nork, Matt Marlinski, Kartik Sathappan We have partnered with Polymarket!

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.

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!

EPISODE #77: Welcome back to the pod! After Trump's Election, we thought things we're kinda, normal? But the crazy discourse kicked up this week.

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).

EPISODE #74: As the polls continue to shift towards a Trump victory, the Kamala campaign decided to take more chances in the media. Unfortunately, Kamala’s interview with Fox News did not go as well as she had hoped. We take a look at the remaining weeks of the campaign and what the betting markets are telling us. Will Trump or Kamala go on the Joe Rogan podcast? Elon & SpaceX continue to inspire the country by completing once impossible missions, while California tries to remove them for political reasons. The FBI changes crime data and Venezuelan migrants are causing an uptick in crime in cities. Finally, The last quarterfinal of Pirate Idol. Columbus Day? Or Indigenous Peoples Day? Our political parties are now celebrating different holidays on the same day. Featuring Mike Solana, Brandon Gorrell, Riley Nork, Matt Marlinski We have partnered with Polymarket!

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 #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. Mark Zuckerberg's makeover continues. This week he detailed in the NYT on how he's done with politics. Sounds like Zuck may be a Pirate Wires reader sooner than later!

EPISODE #70: This week, we experienced another assassination attempt of Donald Trump. After a day of reporting, the media quickly shifted to blaming Trump and obsessing over the cats in Ohio. Amazon announces that workers must return to the office next year, officially ending the Covid era of work from home. 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.
