P.I.D. Radio 1/18/25: Biden, Bird Flu, and the Ban
About this Episode
JOE BIDEN gave his last address from the Oval Office this week in what had to be the most tone-deaf speech ever delivered from the White House.
Among other things, President Biden actually condemned the influence of wealthy oligarchs on American politics just two weeks after awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros!
We discuss Biden’s executive order this week to direct the federal government to support rapid construction of clean energy sources for massive data centers needed to power the rapid growth of artificial intelligence. Even we are getting solicitations from companies wanting to sell us AI services. (Which is hilarious because the AI sending us the spam thinks we’re a restaurant!)
This is related to the imminent ban of TikTok in the United States and the irony of “TikTok refugees” fleeing to another Chinese app, RedNote. New users are discovering that RedNote doesn’t allow the kind of “progressive” content they’ve come to expect on TikTok—and some are buying into Chinese Communist Party propaganda on issues like the treatment of Muslim Uighurs in western China.
Oh, the irony. The US government is shutting down TikTok for American users not because the app is stealing our data. Plenty of tech companies do that. TikTok’s sin is sending the data to Beijing instead of Washington DC.
Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and a lopsided exchange of a few dozen hostages for about a thousand Arabs held in Israeli prisons on charges of committing acts of terror. It remains to be seen whether other violent Islamist groups in Gaza, like Palestinian Islamic Jihad, will abide by the deal.
Finally, we talk about the price of eggs, which has skyrocketed after the culling of millions of hens due to the spread of avian influenza. We’re also watching an outbreak of deadly Marburg virus in Tanzania. While only nine people have been infected thus far, the disease has a mortality rate of 90%.
Our new book The Gates of Hell is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an audiobook at Audible!
Derek’s new book Destination: Earth, co-authored with Donna Howell and Allie Anderson, is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an audiobook at Audible!
Sharon’s niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah.
