[00:24:58] Indian Medical Student Used Gemini to Create a Fake MAGA Influencer — Made Thousands Per Month Gemini advised him the "MAGA conservative niche" was a "cheat code" — so he created Emily Hart, a fake AI nurse posting gun range selfies and Christ is King captions, making thousands monthly.

[00:47:49] Palantir CEO Alex Karp Published a 22-Point Manifesto — Knight: Sales Pitch for Empire, Not a Republic Karp's manifesto calling Silicon Valley to defend the nation, demanding national service, and calling bureaucrats "priests" is a marketing document for the surveillance clients who buy his product.

[01:24:58] Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Countries Are Now Exiting — Trump's War Has Triggered a Global Arms Race The head of the UN atomic agency warned that countries formerly protected by the NPT are reconsidering — nuclear weapons are now the only credible deterrent against US aggression.

[01:47:40] Gold Prices Are Temporarily Down Because Governments Are Liquidating — Celente: Buy the Dip Russia sold 22 tons of gold, Turkey is selling, and Middle Eastern countries are liquidating to cover losses — Celente: this is temporary, gold remains the number one safe haven, and the worst is still ahead.

| 2:23.1 | And, you know, what we're hearing in all these COVID reckonings, these inquiries that are being done in various places, typically it's like, well, you know, we're sorry, mistakes were made. |
| 2:28.6 | You know, we did the best we could, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. |
| 2:32.0 | And usually they finish it with saying, |
