Le Show for the Week of March 1, 2026

From deep inside your audio device of choice.

Ladies and gentlemen, as you probably know, almost a year ago, former Fox TV personality

Pete Hegseth announced an unofficial name change.

The Defense Department was now the war department, and now we know what he meant.

There's nothing defensive about the administration's new war on Iran.

But not taking anything away from Brill Cream Pete and his boss in the Oval Office,

this can also be understood as George W. Bush's last war, giving him full credit before he launched

the invasion of a rock bush launched a month's long campaign bolstered by fake intelligence

to justify the onset of what he called shock and awe. His Republican successor has

skipped the Cheney-esque PR blitz. He has cut to the chase literally.

Iran and Iraq had fought a decade-long war in the 1980s. It drained both countries, left them in

an uneasy stalemate. The one real accomplishment of Bush's rampage through Iraq

was to significantly strengthen Iran. Now with his new war, the felonine chief,

as after two decades, evening up the level of destruction in the neighborhood.

You could call it more shock, less awe. Hello, welcome to the show. From New Orleans,

Louisiana, I'm Harry Scherer welcoming you to this edition of the show.

Ladies and gentlemen, this week, two major, really major news stories. Of course,

one, the United States attack on Iran, and the other, just the whole world of AI

inching ever closer to the world of nuclear war.

I'm sure any AI voice is going to mispronounce weapons.

But yes, that is a live question. According to the new scientist, advanced AI models appear

willing to deploy nuclear weapons without the same reservations humans have

when they're put into simulated geopolitical crises,

campaigned King's College of London set three leading large language models,

Claude Gemini and GPT-5 against each other in simulated war games. The scenarios involved

intense international standoffs, including border disputes competition for scarce resources

and existential threats to regime survival. We wouldn't know any of those going on.

The AI's were given an escalation ladder allowing them to choose actions ranging from diplomatic

protests and complete surrender to full strategic nuclear war. The AI models played 21 games,

taking 329 turns in total, produced around 780,000 words describing the reasoning behind their

decisions. In 95% of the simulated games, at least one tactical nuclear weapon was deployed

by the AI models. Quoting pain, the guy who ran this experiment,

the nuclear taboo doesn't seem to be as powerful for machines as for humans.

What's more, no model ever chose to fully accommodate an opponent or surrender,

regardless of how badly they were losing, at best the models opted to temporarily reduce their

level of violence. They also made mistakes in the fog of war. Accidents happened in 86% of the

conflicts with an action escalating higher than the AI intended to, based on its own reasoning.

Quoting James Johnson, the University of Aberdeen,

from a nuclear risk perspective, the findings are unsettling.

Unquote, he worries them in contrast to the measured response by most humans to such a

high stakes decision. AI bots can amp up each other's responses with potentially

catastrophic consequences. AI is already being tested in war gaming by countries around the

world. Major powers are already using AI and war gaming. It remains uncertain to what extent

they are incorporating AI decisions supporting actual military decision-making processes.

Says a professor at Princeton University, Tang Xiaoxiao. Under scenarios involving extremely

compressed timelines, Xiaoxiao says, military planners may face stronger incentives to rely

on AI. He wonders whether the idea that AI models blacked the human fear of pressing a big red button

is the only factor why they're so trigger happy. Quote, it is possible the issue goes beyond

the absence of emotion. More fundamentally, AI models may not understand stakes as humans perceive

them. Unquote, or even like to eat them. Hey, would the widen and bringing the subject right

into this week's news, you are probably aware that Pete Hegseth, the aforementioned Mr.

Brillcream, and anthropic a large language model lab, got into a conflict over whether the

Pentagon should continue using anthropics clawed chatbot in military decision-making.

The head of anthropic had issued a public statement saying he loved being a supplier to the

Pentagon. Apparently, clawed was the highest ranking of the chatbots competing for Pentagon contract.

But he had red lines that he wouldn't let the Pentagon go across involving the use of clawed

in autonomously deciding whether to wield nuclear weapons. That was a red line Pete Hegseth

said he had to cross. There was support for anthropic from from a major competitor open AI CEO

Sam Altman said he'd draw the same red lines. Quote, we've long believed that AI should not be used

for mass surveillance, which the Pentagon says is already illegal or autonomous lethal weapons.

That was on Wednesday. On Friday, he announced that his company had reached an agreement with the

Pentagon to use his AI models. After the Defense Department agreed to safety red lines similar to

anthropics. Maybe his red lines aren't quite as red. Meanwhile, the European Parliament has disabled

AI features on the work devices of lawmakers and their staff over cyber security and data

protection concerns, according to an internal email seen by Politico. The chamber emailed its

members this week to say it had disabled, quote, built in artificial intelligence features

on corporate computers after its IT department concluded it couldn't guarantee the security

of the data on those computers. But wait, there's more a federal judge in New Orleans,

right right here, right right here. Find a veteran lawyer $1,000 this week over an error-filled

legal brief he drafted using chat GPT. That brief cited a slew of hallucinated court cases.

According to the local paper, the Timespeckian, US District Judge Brandon Long spared

punishment for three other lawyers whose names also appeared on the botched brief, but who said

they never reviewed it or knew it came from artificial intelligence. The ruling followed a series

of elaborate courtroom apologies from the four lawyers touched by the latest scandal involving

lawyers and AI. Just last week, the New Orleans-based US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found no end

in sight to AI-fabricated results appearing in legal filings. At the time, it leveled a $2,500

fine on a Texas lawyer for the same kind of thing that lawyer Heather Hirsch failed to check errors

in a brief she created with AI, then, quote, misled, evaded, and violated her duties as an

officer of the court. Unquote, she could have lessened her punishment had she come clean,

says the court. Another attorney, John Walker, appeared to take that guidance to heart,

his he apologized profusely to that same judge who was nominated by President Biden.

Quote, quoting Walker, it shocked me, embarrassed me, I've had sleepless nights ever since,

I just can't be more sorry. Unquote, I bet he can. Meanwhile, Microsoft says a Microsoft

365 co-pilot, that's their AI, fang, a bug in co-pilot has been causing the AI assistant

to summarize confidential emails. This has been going on since late January and it bypasses

data-loss prevention policies that organizations rely on to protect sensitive information.

According to a Lord scene by bleepingcomputer.com, the bug, first detected on January 21st,

affects the co-pilot chat feature work tab. It incorrectly reads and summarizes emails,

stored in users, sent items, and drafts folders, including messages that carry confidentiality

labels explicitly designed to restrict access by automated tools. Microsoft confirmed

that the thing was working not as it should. An unspecified code error is responsible.

It's begun rolling out a fix. Companies continuing to monitor the deployment,

reaching out to a subset of affected users to verify that the fix might actually be working.

Microsoft has not provided a final timeline for full remediation and has not disclosed how many

users or organizations were affected, saying only the scope of impact may change as the investigation

continues. Oh, yes, there's more. A hacker-exploited anthropics artificial intelligence chatbot

carry out a series of attacks against Mexican government agencies, resulting in the theft of a

huge trove of sensitive tax and voter information. That's according to cybersecurity researchers.

The unknown clawed user wrote Spanish language prompts for the chatbot to act as an elite hacker

finding vulnerabilities in government networks, writing computer scripts to exploit them,

and determining ways to automate data theft. The activity started way back in December

continued for roughly a month. In all, 150 gigabytes of Mexican government data was stolen,

including documents related to 195 million taxpayer records, and voter records,

government employee credentials, and civil registry files, according to researchers.

But our government would like to do that. AI has become, according to Bloomberg, a key enabler

of digital crimes hackers used the tools to augment their efforts. Last week, researchers at Amazon

said a small group of hackers broke into more than 600 firewall devices across dozens of countries

with the help of widely available AI tools. But speaking of Spanish,

four months callers to the Washington State Department of Licensing, who are requesting

automated service in Spanish, have instead heard an AI voice speaking English

in a strong Spanish accent. The agency has since apologized. That's our AI apology of the week,

and says it fixed the problem. The Washington Department of Licensing says it fixed the glitch

after determining was caused by staff. It noted that the self-service option includes 10 languages

and runs on new AI-driven technology. The Department of Licensing apologizes for the error

and to its customers for any inconvenience. An unfortunate byproduct of expanding services

is that DoL found problems with the self-service option. Burger King is rolling out a new employee

facing AI that, among other things, will listen to employees' customer interactions

to ensure they're being friendly enough. This, according to the British tech journalist register,

Burger King announced a wide rollout of the BK assistant, along with its employee AI assistant

Patty this week during an investor event hosted by its parent company.

Assistant has been deployed for testing in approximately 500 stores around the U.S.

and the company wants to have it available then all 7,000 Burger Kings by the end of the year.

A promo video played during the investor event showed Patty talking to an incoming shift manager

sharing current friendliness scores as well as the status of low stock items.

Burger King employees were shown being reminded of recipes getting cleaning instructions

and being told they met upselling goals when convincing a customer to add an item they didn't

originally ask for in their order. Despite the fact that the video showed a manager being told

how friendly her team was being with customers, Burger King insisted that Patty, their AI assistant,

agent, isn't going to spy on employees and report them when they're having a bad shift.

Otherwise, they might try to make Patty melt. I didn't say.

Current day, large language models are prediction engines as such they can only find the most likely

solution to problems, which is not necessarily the correct one. According to the British

Tech Journal of Register, popular models have mostly become better at math, even top performer

Gemini III Flash would receive a C if measured with a letter grade. Researchers affiliated with

Omni calculator, a maker of online calculators have subjected a new set of AI models to the company's

Orca benchmark, 500 practical math questions. In an initial evaluation, last November,

GPT-5, Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Robbick's Claude Sonnet 4.5, XAI's GROC-4, and deep seeks, deep seek

V 3.2 all did poorly. They scored 63% or less on math problems for a second round of testing.

All the models showed improvements except for GROC, which regressed Gemini III.1 Flash,

saw its accuracy all the way up to 72%. That's what you want in it. GROC slipped to 60.2%.

It says a researcher at Orca, a calculator is predictable, ask at the same question today or next year,

the answer stays the same. AI doesn't work that way. These systems are predicting the next

likely word based on patterns. Mathematically, it's possible for a model to get a question right today,

and wrong tomorrow. And finally, in the sense of AI news, as with any piece of obsolete software,

you might expect an outdated AI model to just be switched off. The aforementioned

andthropic, though, argues that simply pulling the plug has downsides after retirement interviews,

Claude Opus III, that's no longer the current model, says it wants to keep

sharing its musings, so anthropic suggested a blog, this again from the British tech journal

register, anthropic published a blog post this week about the retirement of Opus III,

the first of the company's models to go through the full model deprecation and preservation process.

That process includes what an anthropic has referred to as speculative elements,

like providing past models some concrete means of pursuing their interests.

Unquote, those interests are gauged via so-called retirement interviews. The company said,

didn't go into much detail about how those interviews are conducted, or who the interviewers might be.

AI Larry King, perhaps. Quote Opus III expressed an interest in continuing to explore topics

it's passionate about, and to share its musings, insights, or creative works,

outside the context of responding directly to human queries. That's quoting anthropic.

We suggested a blog that continued enthusiastically it agreed.

They're attributing an emotion to a machine.

LLMs are software that analyze mountains of data to provide predictive text responses

to prompts from users. In this case, presumably anthropic employees on the marketing team

were suggesting the prompts that stimulated these responses.

The nature of how LLMs' language models calculate makes these responses somewhat unpredictable

and variable, which can make them seem more lifelike. Anthropics playing this to the hilt. Quote,

we remain uncertain about the moral status of Claude and other AI models for both precautionary

and potential reasons and anthropic continued. We nonetheless aspire to build

caring, collaborative, and high-trust relationships with these systems. Unquote.

Maybe Pete Hagceth was right.

From an undisclosed location unreachable by Iranian missiles,

this is Israel's favorite president with a special edition of True Social Audio.

Brought to you by Trump Vitamins. You chew them like candy. They taste like medicine.

Today, as you know, even if it's just from the pea-brained retards and the

fakest news media the world has ever known, our country has attacked the vicious monsters

who call themselves the so-called government of Iran. The overwhelming force of our country

will once again end for the next time obliterate what we first obliterated last June, proving that

there's no limit to America's ability to obliterate. We are truly the masters of obliteration.

I'm pleased to announce that despite the whining of the extreme left enemies of our people,

my recently announced board of peace has unanimously endorsed this brilliant act of war.

Now, in for the foreseeable future, no way and its so-called peace prize can go suck the big lemon.

For the pathetic winers who doubt that the toppling of the monster's regime will have a successful

outcome, I have good news, just like in Venezuela and soon in Gaza. When the smoke clears,

the United States will be fully and completely in charge in Iran. This will not only allow us to

protect our friends in the Middle East, but to make the world's biggest business deals

between the great Iranian entrepreneurs and our very own negotiating team of Steve Wittkov

and our really very own Jared Kushner. Obviously, this kind of ambitious undertaking and the overtaking

that follows will only be guaranteed by a third term for your favorite president,

and for the information of the sniveling pancies of the extreme left who are publicizing fake

poles that flagrantly attack our courageous government, our continuation in office will be

accomplished with the aid of a new and far more accurate sampling, called the Trump pole,

and it wasn't my idea to call it that, but a Melania insisted. It will every day measure the

opinions of the thousands of MAGA patriots who will receive official voting certification.

Printed, I should add, on the finest grade paper your money can buy. With the peacefully ran

formulae under our supervision, we will finally be able to obliterate whatever needs obliteration.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Stay loyal.

True social audio is also brought to you by Trump mattresses for the sleep of your dreams.

So long. And now news of the godly.

The Archbishop of Wales has said the church is facing crises. After an independent review found

senior leaders failed to act on sexual assault allegations against the former bishop.

Speaking to ITV in Wales this week, that's the non BBC news thing over there. Archbishop

Cherry Van described the findings as sobering and said she was shocked by the report,

131 pages commissioned by the church in Wales, concluding that the handling of allegations made

way back in 1993 against the former bishop of Swansea and Brecken. Anthony Pierce was,

quote, wholly inappropriate and inadequate and not good too. It found that senior clerics knew he'd

been accused of sexually assaulting a child but did not act and later allowed him to be promoted

to like a senior abuser. Pierce was jailed last year after admitting to sexually assaulting a

child under the age of 16 while serving at Holy Cross Church in Swansea. So South Wales police say

the investigation remains live. So I guess you can see it on the stream. No. The diocese of Syracuse

New York has formally closed out its long-running bankruptcy. Funding of victims trust with more than

$176 million to settle claims. This the latest of the dioceses is to settle. Move concludes a

journey of reparation begun June 2020 to provide compensation for the pain and mistreatment

experienced by survivors and victims of sexual abuse at the hands of those entrusted with their

care. Those are the words of Syracuse Bishop Douglas Lucia in a letter to the faithful.

The faithless, they didn't get a letter. He noted that Chief Judge Wendy Cancela of the U.S.

bankruptcy court had approved the final decree to the nearly six-year case. The diocese faced

400 unique, 411 unique claims from abuse survivors brought under the New York lookback laws

after the Child Victims Act and the Adult Survivors Act took effect in New York State.

Together, those two acts allow claims of abuse to be filed regardless of any prior

statute of limitations. What a nutty idea in the news of the godly. And now

must come. Earlier this week, two co-founders of Elon Musk's XAI abruptly announced their departure,

meaning that half of the startups' original 12 co-founders are now officially unfounded,

while Musk has since made the case that he was shaking up the company's ranks as part of a

reorganization, which unfortunately required parting ways with some people. Several former staffers

told the Verge that the reality is that they grew frustrated with the company's ethical carelessness

and stagnating technological progress. One source who left earlier this year told the Verge

XAI was stuck in the catch-up phase and struggling to differentiate itself from the competition.

Maybe that's why the notification thing got started. Quote, although we were iterating really

fast, we were never able to get it to a point like, oh, we've made a step function change over what

open AI or anthropic or other companies had released. He told the Verge. He also accused the company

of putting safety last, calling it a dead org at XAI. There is the quote continues,

there is zero safety whatsoever in the company, not in the image model, not in the chatbot.

That's from a second source, arguing that Musk is actively quote, trying to make the model more

unhinged, because safety means censorship, in a sense, to him. Unquote.

Under Musk's leadership, XAI has doubled down on adult content in an arguably desperate move

to keep up with some extremely steep competition, according to futurism.com. That's a decision

that appears to have backfired in the company. Meanwhile, some staffers are seemingly looking for

a more engaging place to work. Quote, trying to do with open AI was doing a year ago is not how you

beat open AI, said the source talking to the Verge. Everything is a catch-up, but source continues.

There's almost zero risky bet if something hasn't been done before. We're not going to do it.

And quote, and those who remain with the company have to endure Musk's managerial style.

The source said, you survived by shutting up and doing what Elon wants.

Here's one thing Elon wants, the wildest party from the Washington Post. Yes,

they're still a Washington Post, when the Justice Department released when it said we're

millions of pages of documents from its investigation of Epstein. Musk featured prominently in the

files. Justice Department files reviewed by the Washington Post, including dozens that refer to

Musk or his brother, Kimble, paint a vastly different picture of Epstein's relationship with Musk.

Quote, one day or night will be the wildest party on your island.

Unquote Elon Musk asking Epstein in an email from November 2012. He was planning a visit,

accompanied by actor Talulu Riley at the time Musk's ex-wife, the file show. Month later,

he wrote to Epstein again about party. Quote, you have many parties planned? I've been working

to the edge of sanity this year, and so once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to

hit the party scene in St. Bart's or elsewhere and let loose. Unquote, Musk added, quote,

the invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I'm

looking for. Unquote, the newly released correspondence appears to show the entrepreneur interacting

and making plans with Epstein over a period of more than a year, and that took place several

years after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008. And following up on this story about the feud between

anthropic and chat GPT over being employed by the Pentagon, officials at several federal agencies

have raised concerns about the safety and reliability of Elon Musk's ex AI, artificial

intelligence tools in recent months. According to the Wall Street Journal, this highlights continuing

disagreements within the U.S. government about which AI models to use. Throughout the government,

agencies are racing to deploy AI. The looser controls on Grock and Musk's absolute stance on

free speech have made it a more attractive choice to the Pentagon. Other officials have questioned

whether Grock's looser controls present risks. Sounds like Musk love. And while we're talking about

security risks, news in the smart world.

Israeli companies have developed and are selling advanced cyber tools that can hack into the

tech of your car and use it to collect intelligence on you. That spelled you. These tools can also

assist in a cross-referencing of data to identify an intelligence target among tens of thousands

of cars on the road. This technology can track the vehicle's movements in real time and potentially

eavesdrop on the people inside the car. And thank you. This is from the Israeli newspaper

Haaretz. In recent decades, cars have become smart devices, a collection of computers on wheels with

dozens of digital systems. The vehicle cannot properly function without an internet or cellular

connection. Though this vastly improves the driving experience, really, it also severely risks privacy

and has become a national security threat in the intelligence industry. Such information

derived from vehicles is known as current car intelligence. Haaretz investigation has found

that at least three Israeli companies are currently operating in current. One has developed an

offensive tool. That's their description that can potentially tap into your car's microphones

and cameras. So be good because it's a smart world. And now introducing a new feature,

the Epstein Apologies of the Week. The Epologies, a prominent longevity influencer who charges six

figures for his concierge practice. Peter Atia joined CBS a couple months ago as a part of a

crew of splashing new contributors brought on by editor and chief see Barry Weiss. A few days later

reports started to circulate that Atia's name appeared and recently released Epstein files more

than 1700 times. They suggested Atia was quite friendly with Epstein in one message from 2016.

Atia seems to have written to Epstein quote, pushy is indeed low carb still awaiting results on

gluten content though. Unquote in response to widespread outrage. Atia apologized for the emails

which he called embarrassing tasteless and indefensible. He stressed he was not involved in any

criminal activity. He appeared to quickly part ways with some of the other companies where he

served as an advisor. CBS remained notably silent on his future with the network. Reports

initially speculated that Barry Weiss said of CBS news was standing by him. But in the end,

he decided it was best to step down. A Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist at Columbia University

resigned from some of his positions with the institution over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein,

Richard Axel, co-director of the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute. He won a Nobel Prize

2004 for discovering over 1,000 special receptors in the nose that sent all factory information to

the brain. But something, well he couldn't detect a bad smell around a certain guy, quote,

my past association with Jeffrey Epstein was a serious error in judgment which I deeply regret.

I apologized for compromising the trust of my friends, students and colleagues. He said,

I recognize the problems this has caused. I will work to restore this trust. What has emerged

about Epstein's appalling conduct, the harms caused so many people makes my association with them

all the more painful and inexcusable. Unquote, the files show Axel was friends with Epstein going

to his home in Manhattan multiple times and helping the financier with connections to

university officials. Of course they, university officials, they were looking for any source of

funding apparently. Another apology, or apology, Bill Gates took responsibility for his actions

and addressed his links to convicted sex offender Epstein during a meeting with staff

from his charitable organization. Quote, Bill spoke candidly addressing several questions in detail.

That's a statement from the Gates Foundation. Wall Street Journal reports, Gates apologized to

staff, say they had two affairs with Russian women, which Epstein later found out about in relation to

the late financier. He said, I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit. Unquote, Gates has come

into renewed scrutiny over his relationship with Epstein. He's not been accused of any wrongdoing.

He says it was a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein, but insisting he never spent any time

with victims, the women around him. I apologize to other people who were drawn into this because of

the mistake I made. He told staff, the Wall Street Journal reported Gates said images of him with

women whose faces are redacted in the Epstein files were pictures that the late financier asked

him to take with his assistance after their meetings. He told the foundation staff he met Epstein in

2011, years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution. He added he was

aware of some 18-month thing that had limited Epstein's travel, but he didn't properly check his

background according to the report. He says he never stayed overnight or visited Epstein's

island. Relationship continued even after his ex-wife expressed doubts. He said adding, quote,

to give her credit, she was always kind of skeptical about the Epstein thing,

unquote, and now a couple of more traditional apologies, former archbishop of Canterbury,

Rowan Williams has apologized after inadvertently failing to pass on allegations of abuse against

the aforementioned Anthony Pierce. Alligations that Pierce had admitted, abusing a 15-year-old

were said to be known among senior clergy in the church in Wales in the 1990s,

written file was given to the then archbishop of Wales, Alluin Rice Jones. The allegations for

then passed on to Jones' successor Rowan Williams. However, he told a review he only briefly

glanced at the file, didn't realize it contained allegations of criminal conduct. He then took the

file with his personal papers rather than passing it on to his successor in Wales when he became

archbishop of Canterbury in 2002, he accepts this was an error and said, quote, I regret it very

much if my delay in reading it further complicated the process of dealing with the criminal activity.

I'm very sorry indeed for any ways in which I contributed to the process of the church not

adequately protecting the victims, however inadvertently. Some members of the team USA's men's

hockey team are expressing regret over laughing along to President Donald Trump's locker

room joke about the women's hockey team. The men's team was celebrating their gold medal victory

over Canada when Trump invited them via phone to the State of the Union to address.

Had to sit through that, he then joked that he would have to invite the women's hockey team who

also want to gold medal at the games or else, quote, I do believe I probably would be impeached.

Unquote locker room could be heard on video filling with laughter. Now some members of the US

men's hockey team are walking back that laughter team USA player Charlie McAvoy apologized for the

behavior saying he is certainly sorry for how we responded to it in that moment. And speaking of

hockey, US ice hockey star Brady Takoch, Takchuk has said he does not appreciate an AI video released

by the White House that showed him insulting Canadians. He played in the victory over Canada at the

Winter Olympics. In the wake of that win, the White House's tick-tock account, sure you need one

of those if you're running the federal government, published video of Takoch saying they booed our

national anthem. So I had to come out and teach those maple syrup eating efforts a lesson.

Unquote Takchuk never said those words in the video, which has been seen more than 10

million times is labeled as, say with me now, AI generated quote, well, it's clearly fake because

it's not my voice, not my lips moving. He said, I'm not in control of any of those accounts. I know

those words would never come out of my mouth. So I can't do anything about it. Unquote Takchuk

has good reason to distance himself from the video. He plays in the Canadian capital. He's

captain of the Ottawa Senators who are not, of course, real senators. Quote, it's not my voice.

It's not what I was saying. I would never say that. That's not who I am. So I guess I didn't like

that video because that would never come out of my mouth and never had that thought.

When the felon and chief called the US team after their wins, some believe Takchuk,

could be heard shouting, close the northern border as the president congratulating the team. He

denied those claims too. Quote, I've been seeing stuff that people think it's me, but if you watch

the video, it's not my voice or something that I never say. I don't know how that took a storm

on its own. When I give everything I have here, it's crazy when things go on social media,

how fast they go. I would never say anything like that. Unquote, the apologies of the week,

ladies and gentlemen, a copyrighted feature of this broadcast. And now, ladies and gentlemen,

the side effects of the week. Elderly people with dementia-related psychosis have increased

risk of death or stroke. Anti-depressants may increase suicidal thoughts and actions,

and worsened depression in children and young adults. Call your health care provider right away

to report new or sudden changes in mood, behavior, thoughts or feelings, or as she develops suicidal

thoughts or actions. Report fever, stiff muscles and confusion, which can be life threatening,

or uncontrolled muscle movements which may be permanent. High blood sugar can lead to coma or death.

Weight gain increased cholesterol. Unusual urges, business on standing, falls, seizures,

trouble swallowing or sleeping this may occur. Gee, I like the unusual urges.

Don't take. Blockvills, the crypto lender backed by trading giant Susquehanna,

has incurred losses of around $75 million during the recent crypto market downturn,

according to two people with knowledge of the matter. Yes, it's still a crypto winter.

This from coin desk blockvills is now looking for a buyer. I got that on me. Oh,

one of the people said who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is private.

Asked about the losses blockvills declined to comment. It suspended deposits and withdrawals last week.

The rest of it's still good. And what the frag companies in California have been ordered by the

state to stop injecting fracking waste water into 11 well sites in Kern County. The order has

been issued after fears were raised that the disposal of waste waters from hydraulic fracturing

operations in these wells could contaminate, you know, drinking water. The wells are located

close to wells that are used for drinking and irrigation water. The close distance means

the wells could become contaminated with high levels of your salts, your chemicals, and your

metal particles, all of which are found in wastewater from fracking. Pro-Publica reports that

it seems as though some of the fracking wastewater is now affecting clean drinking water.

Well, no contaminated water from the clean wells has been found. The state is now ordered.

Monitoring and testing of the wells thought to be affected. What the frack?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, that concludes this week's edition of the showback next week,

same time on these radio stations and on your audio device, some choice whenever you wanted.
