Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Earlier this week, Judd reported on a new Elon Musk scam. Musk is spending millions of dollars pushing Americans to VoteSafe, which advertises itself as a voter registration site but is actually a digital surveillance machine. Judd joins us tonight to explain:

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨

While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

Judge Luttig has again performed a great service to the U.S. Constitution and our republic by exposing the treachery the Trumpsters have planned for 1/3/27, the new 1/6/21, and wisely outlining what must be done to stop the evil coup in its tracks.

Donald Trump did NOTHING for New York after 9/11. He was never at Ground Zero. He sent no construction crews. And there's no evidence he donated a single penny to help

As we mourned our family, our friends, our city, Trump's only "contribution" was to brag that he had the tallest building downtown

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients.

Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages.

How is this not a bigger scandal?

This is no coincidence. This is a multi-part plan by the GOP to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025.

They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts.

Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025.

Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

It’s official: the Nerd Reich podcast is getting banned from YouTube….the week of my book launch!

Incredible timing, since I’ll be all over the media next week talking about tech fascism.

They can delete my account. They can’t stop my work.

If you, your friends/family and/or business has invested in AI monetarily or ideologically, you really, really need to get up to speed on the inevitable economic clusterfuck coming.

Especially if your investments are tied to the Nasdaq.

Amazon workers on federal aid nearly tripled between 2020 and 2025.

During that time, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth jump by $139B as Amazon profits hit record highs.

No corporation as profitable as Amazon should be paying its workers so little they must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to survive.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today.

Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year.

Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

This is what a rigged system looks like.
