On a final note, after the holiday break, we will be reporting on the indictment against four alleged members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front in California regarding a New Year's Eve bombing plot.

We're back, and we have some news that's going to be really sad for everybody here, and it could happen here, and just all of you listening, which is friend of the pod Dan Bongino is stepping down from his work as deputy director of the FBI.

I think it's been a nice vacation for him, but, you know, America needs him in his much more important role, whatever podcast he was doing before he got brought in to be deputy director of the FBI.

You know, look, if he was podcasting right now, they would have caught the mass shooter at Brown.

I think we can all agree on that.

Yeah, he'd have podcasted his way through it.

Either that or just him not being at the FBI would have made the FBI do their jobs better.

What we're learning from this is that you can never escape the podcasting mind.

No matter where else you try to go, they will drag you back down.

Oh, look, if you make me director of the FBI, I promise to stop podcasting and start being the most corrupt director of the FBI we've ever had.

That's a tough challenge.

I think I'm up to the task.

Prepared to work at it.

Yeah.

So, yeah, that's cool.

I wanted to talk a little bit about an executive order that our beloved president put out very recently.

Some of you may be aware of this, but on December 11th, I mean this year, 2025, Trump released yet another executive order, this one titled Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.

And basically in this and in Trump stated that, like, the reason he's doing this is because it's absolutely critical to the US's future that we be at the top of the game when it comes to AI, that we be global leaders in this burgeoning new field.

He states in the EO, these efforts have already delivered tremendous benefits to the American people and led to trillions of dollars of investments across the country.

Certainly haven't.
