0:00.0 | Welcome back to New World next week. I'm James Corbitt at Corbett Report.com. |
0:16.3 | And I'm James Evan Pallato, Mediamonicky.com. I'm sure not be surprised at the significant volume of |
0:21.4 | anti-immigrant content. We've got that story. Plus, carbon dioxide isn't a danger anymore, |
0:27.8 | but first on episode 600 of New World next week, $10 billion, 10-year U.S. Army contract |
0:35.1 | elevates Palantir to defense contracting royalty, grabbing this from the |
0:40.2 | register, but I don't think they use the word boffins at all. There are no official criteria for what |
0:45.0 | constitutes membership in the upper echelon of the U.S. military industrial complex, but a $10 billion deal |

1:37.7 | wasting a lot of time and money. That's Doge in action. With 75 active contracts between the Army and Palantir. It's nearly impossible |
1:45.6 | to track down exactly what the Army is using from Palantir, though the Register does have some |
1:51.0 | ideas. Palantir won its first major defense contract from the Army way back in 2019 when it |
