Eric Prince and Tucker Carlson discuss what they describe as pervasive, ongoing phone and device surveillance. They say that a study of devices—including Google Mobile Services on Android and iPhones—shows a spike in data leaving the phone around 3 AM, amounting to about 50 megabytes, effectively the phone “dialing home to the mother ship” and exporting “all of your goings on.” They describe “pillow talk” and other private interactions being transmitted, and claim that even apps like WhatsApp, which is marketed as end-to-end encrypted, ultimately have data that is “sliced and diced and analyzed and used to push … advertising” once it passes through servers. They argue that this surveillance is not limited to phones but extends to other devices in the home, including Amazon’s Alexa and automobiles, which they say now have trackers and can trigger a kill switch, with recording of audio and, in many cases, video. The speakers contend this situation represents a monopoly by a handful of big tech companies that can use the collected data to control markets, dominate, and vertically integrate the economy, potentially shutting down competitors. They connect this to broader concerns about political power, claiming that the data profiles built on individuals enable manipulation of public opinion, messaging, and even election outcomes. They reference banking data, noting that banks like Chase have announced selling customers’ purchasing histories to other companies, as part of what they call a broader data-driven power shift. The discussion expands to warnings about a “technological breakaway civilization” operating illegally and interfaced with private intelligence agencies to manipulate, censor, and steal elections. They argue that AI, capable of trillions of calculations per second, magnifies these risks and increases the ability to take control of civilization. They reference geopolitical events, such as China’s blockade of Taiwan, and claim that microchips sold internationally have kill switches that could disable critical military and infrastructure. They speculate about the capabilities of NSA, Chinese, Russian, or hacker groups to exploit this vulnerability, describing a world in which the infrastructure is exposed like Swiss cheese to criminals and governments. Throughout, the speakers criticize the idea that technology is neutral, asserting instead that it has been hijacked by corrupt governments and corporations. They contrast these concerns with Google’s founding motto “don’t be evil,” claiming it was contradicted by later documents showing CIA involvement and In-Q-Tel’s role, and they warn that a social-credit, cashless society rollout could be enforced by private devices rather than drones or troops. The segment emphasizes education of Congress, state attorneys general, and the public about these supposed threats.

Speaker 0: Pegasus is real. The NSO group in Israel designed an exploit that they can send to your phone number with an iPhone at least and gain full access to your phone, meaning your camera, your photos, your text messages, every single thing on your phone that you have access to and more and you will have no idea that it's on your device. It's really dangerous. And how do you prevent it? You can't. Don't use an iPhone or don't let your number get leaked. I mean, there's nothing you could do. Holy fuck. Yeah. It's considered a zero day exploit and also a zero click, meaning you don't have to interact with the phone at all.

Vault 7 is the biggest intelligence leak ever, with less than 1% of the material published so far. It reveals that the CIA has created its own version of the NSA focused on hacking. They develop viruses and trojans to infiltrate people's devices and collect information for the CIA. This information can be used to falsely implicate someone in a crime. The CIA's budget has increased, giving them more power, and they now have their own drone fleet and hacker squad. Unlike the NSA, the CIA targets endpoints instead of intermediaries, bypassing encryption. If a phone is hacked, encryption becomes irrelevant as the information is gathered before or after encryption.

Speaker 1 outlines concerns about Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act of 2026, asserting that if it becomes law, the Government of Canada will be able to secretly order Apple to build in a capability into its infrastructure to allow Canadian law enforcement and national security authorities to track every iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPod, and AirTag in real time. This capability would enable authorities to require Apple to confirm whether it provides any services to a user, and to obtain device identifiers for all devices used with those services. The process could involve going to a justice of the peace and obtaining an order without any requirement that a crime has been or will be committed, effectively mandating Apple to hand over moment-by-moment locations for all user devices. The speaker further notes that with that secret order, Apple would be compelled to provide the moment-by-moment locations of all devices associated with a user, based on the digital ID tied to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPod, Apple TV, and AirTag. In addition, the order would require Apple to maintain location history for a full year, enabling cops to access that historical data as well. The overarching concern highlighted is whether such expansive powers—secret orders, real-time tracking, access to device identifiers and services, and a year-long location history—are desirable for Canadian police and law enforcement. Speaker 0 interjects with a prompting remark, inviting the audience to consider the implications and framing the discussion as a best attempt to evaluate the issue. The dialogue centers on the potential reach of government surveillance powers under the proposed act, the mechanisms by which these powers could be exercised (secret orders and judiciary involvement), and the practical consequences of requiring a tech company to reveal comprehensive location data and device identifiers without demonstrating a crime or imminent wrongdoing. The core issue presented is whether granting law enforcement such pervasive, real-time, and historical access to users’ device data aligns with acceptable governance and privacy standards in Canada.

A founder's group at Peking University developed source code for typing Chinese characters, which was seized by the Chinese intelligence bureau. They inserted a backdoor into apps that allow Chinese typing, potentially compromising them for surveillance by the Chinese Communist Party and military. WeChat is just one of many apps that could be used for this purpose. While not everyone will be targeted, the CCP has the resources to monitor US cell phones, especially if they believe someone can be of assistance to them.

Your phone is not just a phone. It is the result of research that captures your attention, creating a power imbalance where you are unaware that you are being constantly monitored. They gather maximum information about you, surveilling you 24/7. In return, they know you so well that they can not only predict things about you but also manipulate your behavior. The internet of things will do the same.

ICE is using fake cell towers to turn your phone into a tracking device. It's a technology called Stingray. They put it in a vehicle and drive through a neighborhood broadcasting a signal stronger than a real cell tower. Your phone automatically connects to the strongest signal, so it connects to the fake one, and you never know what happened. Once you're connected, they can pinpoint your exact location in real time. Here's the most terrifying part: the Stingray doesn't just connect to the target's phone. It forces every phone in the area to connect to it. Your phone, your neighbor's phone, anyone just walking down the street, it scoops up data from hundreds of people to find one person. This isn't a theory. Forbes just uncovered a warrant showing ICE used one to track a person across a 30 block area in Utah, and they've spent millions on these cell site simulator vehicles. Your phone is constantly looking for a signal. You just have to hope it's a real one. ICE

Speaker 0 states their interactions with the NSA are very limited, adding the NSA is not an agency that works with you directly. Speaker 0 mentions reading in newspapers about their phone being penetrated with Pegasus, but has no idea if it's true, stating this is the only source of information they have about themselves personally. Speaker 0 assumes by default that the devices they use are compromised and has very limited faith in platforms developed in the US from a security standpoint and privacy standpoint.

Mexican cartels possess Pegasus spyware, developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group, which can infiltrate phones without requiring users to click any links. This "no-click malware" can access data before encryption, including calls, texts, emails, location, and social media. It can also activate the phone's camera and microphone for surveillance and take screenshots, all while conserving battery life to remain undetected. NSO requires approval from the Israeli Ministry of Defense for each sale. Mexico has had this software since at least 2016. Initially, NSO claimed it helped capture El Chapo, but it was also used against journalists and those opposing government corruption. Cartels are now allegedly teaming up, armed with military-grade weapons and narco drones, viewing the U.S. government as a common enemy. They could use Pegasus for blackmail or to plant evidence on phones. Striking cartels inside Mexico is complicated because the cartels have infiltrated the Mexican government, and military officials admit uncertainty about winning the war on drugs.

The speaker received two messages from Apple stating their iPhone was targeted by a mercenary spyware attack. Initially skeptical, the speaker confirmed the messages' authenticity. Apple's message indicated the attack was likely due to the speaker's identity and activities, emphasizing the rarity and sophistication of such attacks, citing Pegasus as an example, and describing them as some of the most advanced digital threats. While uncertain if spyware was installed or who is responsible, the speaker believes the attack is an attempt at intimidation and silencing, possibly by a government, organization, or secret service. The speaker asserts they will not be intimidated or silenced.

The speaker claims that 99% of phones worldwide are being tracked by governments through push notifications. The US government allegedly has a gag order on the two largest phone companies to keep this information hidden. Senator Ron Wyden states that foreign governments have reached out to Google and Apple for push notification data. These notifications, which appear on the screen, are sent from the app to a cloud server and then to the phone. The governments are requesting this data from Google and Apple, potentially including text information, metadata, and location details. The speaker suggests that the lack of coverage on this issue may be due to the influence of advertising and algorithms controlled by Apple and Google.

The transcript argues that the Pentagon has “raised the alarm” about Israel, presenting espionage and political pressure as the lead threat to the United States. It says this goes beyond “just spying,” describing efforts to put pressure on people, “buying people off,” and forcing “full war.” It claims Israel is “bragging” about removing specific opponents and “we’re gonna get everybody,” and it cites a claim that the Pentagon called espionage by Israel the number one security threat. A central claim is that new legislation passed Thursday, under Section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act, would give Israel “total access to everything,” including AI, weapons, weapons development, DARPA, top universities, live-time telemetry, integration, live-time fusion, and “synchronization,” which the transcript says refers to armed services working together down to the unit level. It states that Netanyahu wrote the plan and wrote what they put in the bill, thanking the committee for passing it, and describes the bill’s movement: from one committee to the final committee on Thursday, and then “less than twenty-four hours later” the Pentagon comes out with a confirmed assessment. The transcript says the Pentagon acknowledged that it had “leaked this to NBC News,” and that other outlets “sat on it” until the legislation began passing out of committee. It further states that the Pentagon’s assessment—described as being held for “two and a half weeks”—identifies Israel as the number one national security threat because of “the unhinged behavior of Israel,” including hacking phones, breaking into homes, and pressure on families. It also claims former spy chiefs and Israeli officials describe aggressive conduct and competence. The transcript then presents an “emergency warning” framing: it says the Pentagon issued an emergency warning to “the American people, the White House, and the armed services,” claiming Israel is attempting “a silent coup” against U.S. armed services and intelligence agencies. It claims multiple Pentagon intelligence agencies joined an agreement, stating they “aren’t doing their job,” and that the “treason got so bad” that the Pentagon’s number one threat is Israel’s espionage. It describes alleged symbols and coordination inside the Pentagon, including Israeli flags and bases, and says it describes efforts for troops to “pledge allegiance” to Israel and IDF soldiers wearing their uniforms during congressional voting. It then points to additional reports and news coverage, claiming the New York Times and Wall Street Journal later report that Israelis somehow broke into military phones and intelligence personnel systems “in live time control.” It also asserts Israel’s role in hardware supply chains, claiming Apple says new iPhones have their chip made in Israel by an Israeli defense company, and it references Israel’s prior activity against Iran’s power plants, comparing it to other countries’ chip-loading and software tactics while emphasizing Israel is “really nasty about it.” Finally, the transcript focuses on Congressman Massey’s criticisms. It says Section 224 includes “synchronize,” “integrate,” and related terms, and Massey argues the language implies merging the IDF and U.S. military, including chain-of-command concerns. It states Massey intends to offer an amendment to strip the provision. The transcript adds that Section 224 calls for a “czar” or “director of the merger program,” describing that the director reports once a year to Congress while the details are classified, and it claims the Pentagon is “a black hole for money.” It describes the committee chair and ranking member’s plans to mark up the bill and move toward a full House vote.

Mexican cartels reportedly have Pegasus, the spyware used by Israel’s NSO Group to spy on Palestinians, and Mexico could use it on Americans. It can enter a phone and expose everything—calls, texts, emails, contacts, calendar, location, and app data—without the user clicking a link. It can perform a room tap using the device’s microphone and camera, deny access to sites and apps, and capture screenshots. Pegasus is described as no-click malware that pauses itself when battery drain is detected. It was developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group (not the Israeli government), and Israel’s Ministry of Defense must sign off on each sale. NSO has marketed it to Mexico and the UAE, with potential expansion to Europe and the Middle East; the cost is about 500,000 per install for iPhone and Android. A 2017 journalist killing and three Mexican agencies’ involvement were reported; it’s difficult to defend against since you don’t need to click.

Pegasus is spyware that can bypass phone security with a single text and grant full device access, including messages, photos, videos, emails, microphone, camera, screen, and GPS, often without detection. It infects both iOS and Android, exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities and remaining virtually undetectable. Pegasus is the main product of NSO Group, an Israeli surveillance company, and government clients worldwide use it. A Guardian investigation reveals widespread abuse by NSO's government clients, based on tens of thousands of records listing potential targets. Not every number indicates a hack, but forensic checks have found traces of attempted or successful Pegasus infections in dozens of cases. The investigation challenges the notion that Pegasus is solely a law enforcement tool. The implications are an end to privacy for the targeted and threaten democracy by empowering regimes to monitor populations.

Mexican cartels possess Pegasus spyware, developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group, which can infiltrate phones without requiring users to click any links. This "no-click malware" can access calls, texts, emails, GPS data, and even activate a phone's camera and microphone for surveillance. NSO Group requires approval from the Israeli Ministry of Defense for each sale of Pegasus. The software was sold to Mexico as early as 2016, and was used to target journalists and those opposing cartels. Cartels are now allegedly teaming up, using military-grade weapons and narco drones, and the US government may be considered a common enemy. The cartels could potentially use Pegasus to blackmail individuals by planting evidence on their phones. Military officials are unsure how to win the war on drugs.

Speaker 0 asserts that there is no security whatsoever and that cybersecurity professionals face this problem daily. They state that while people are watching their phones, their phones are watching them. The operating system is designed to watch and listen to users, to know who their friends are, what is being said in text messages, and to listen at times. They claim that, although people look at their phones and it has many facilities, it is the world’s greatest spy device, designed as a spy device. Now, this.

The speaker says they use an iPhone, claiming “everybody I know” and “everybody at the CIA” uses an iPhone. They explain that when iPhones were unusual and hard to find, they used Android phones, and that all staff were assigned Androids; they also mention that they were originally assigned Nextels, described as walkie-talkie devices. The speaker recounts taking a Nextel to Bulgaria, where it beeped all night and people tried to send walkie-talkie-style messages, leading them to turn it in. They say the group transitioned to iPhones because Android phones are “so hard to crack,” and they advise against using Android devices. The speaker associates the risk with “the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians, the Cubans,” and “most importantly, the Israelis,” and urges not to “do an android.” They then broaden the point beyond phone choice, suggesting people should consider what other aspects of life expose their secrets. They conclude by recommending that people assume “these bad guys are everywhere,” since, they say, they actually are everywhere. The speaker’s key takeaway is to make stealing personal secrets as hard as possible, and they close with a directive: “number one on your things to do today list, drop that android,” repeating “drop that Android.”

A spyware called Pegasus can bypass phone security, access messages, photos, videos, microphone, camera, GPS, and more without detection. It infects iOS and Android through unknown vulnerabilities. NSO Group, an Israeli company, sells Pegasus to government clients worldwide. Leaked records show widespread abuse of Pegasus for surveillance. This invasion of privacy threatens democracy by enabling oppressive regimes to control populations. The software undermines the notion of phone security and poses a significant threat to personal privacy and freedom.

A data broker, Near Intelligence, with ties to US Defense Contractors, tracked cell phones of visitors to Jeffrey Epstein's island over a three-year period. We found that Near Intelligence left this data exposed online. The maps generated show visitors' movements, potentially leading back to their homes and workplaces. The data reveals visitors came from over 166 locations in the US and abroad. Near Intelligence sources data from advertising exchanges. Before a targeted ad appears, your phone sends data, including location, to ad exchanges. Near Intelligence siphons this data, repackages, analyzes, and sells it. Despite its intended use for advertising, Near Intelligence has provided this data to the US military. Anyone with a phone can be tracked. To protect your privacy, use trusted apps, turn off location services, use ad blockers, and use VPNs that filter out advertising technology.

If you remove the battery from your phone, I can still listen to you. In the past, even with the battery out, I could eavesdrop. We used to do undetectable things. This capability is in all equipment and chips, which we mostly get from China.

A data broker tracked cell phones of visitors to Jeffrey Epstein's island, exposing their data online. Near Intelligence, linked to US defense contractors, meticulously monitored visitors' movements over 3 years. The data revealed locations in the US and other countries. Near Intelligence sources data from advertising exchanges, selling it for targeted ads and possibly to the military. This highlights the potential for mass surveillance through ad tech. While smartphone users can be tracked, steps like using trusted apps, disabling location services, and using VPNs can help protect privacy.

"preparations are underway for a coordinated cyber and communications assault, one that could cripple America's power grid, banking systems, and digital lifelines overnight." "The question isn't if it happens, it's who is orchestrating it?" "The Israeli controlled media point the finger at China, the digital fingerprints lead somewhere far closer to home, Israel's global cyber network." "Before we dive in, did you know that Israel has quietly bought up most of the world's popular VPNs?" "And they've recruited spooks to run these companies." "Last week, the secret surface quietly uncovered a plot in New York to unleash a major cyberattack and cripples America's communications and power grid." "One Tel Aviv based company with a long history of distributing malware has quietly bought up nearly all the biggest VPNs on the planet."

The British security agencies use phone and cloud hacking services provided by the Israeli tech company, Celebreit. The company is led by Dana Goethe, an alumni of Unit 8200 in the Israeli military, known for surveillance and blackmailing Palestinians. Celebreit is staffed with former Israeli military and intelligence personnel. The concerning part is that Celebreit claims to remotely control all its devices, suggesting they have access to information obtained by the British security services.

The speaker discusses the potential dangers of phone surveillance and the Pegasus software. They mention that the phone could be a portal to the CIA and criticize the lack of oversight and safeguards imposed by Congress. The speaker also highlights Israel's role in developing surveillance and AI technology. They mention instances where the Pegasus software has been used to target human rights activists and journalists. The speaker expresses concern about the tracking of digital information by foreign governments and emphasizes that the US government is equally sinister in tracking digital footprints without oversight. They caution listeners to be mindful of their online activities.
