The hosts continue discussing the difficulty of maintaining privacy in an era where Google and Apple track nearly all movement. They explore alternative communication methods such as Iridium satellite phones and APRS radio systems, though they find them bulky or impractical for daily use. The segment concludes with a humorous suggestion for a "hipster utility belt" to hold pagers, vapes, and legacy iPod devices.

Following another naval collision, the hosts revisit the theory that the Iridium satellite network is being manipulated. They also play a clip from Ben Bernanke's 60 Minutes interview where he admits the Fed "prints" money by marking up bank accounts digitally.

A listener email suggests that the reported collision between an Iridium satellite and a Russian satellite was misreported by the media. While news outlets claimed the event created massive amounts of dangerous space debris, the source claims it was a "glancing blow" with minimal impact. The hosts question why the story was sensationalized if no major explosion occurred.

A theory is presented regarding a "full-scale war" between global factions involving satellite collisions and submarine accidents. The Iridium satellite network is identified as a key military-linked infrastructure providing tracking and guidance for commercial aircraft like the Boeing 737-800. The crash of a Turkish Airlines flight in Amsterdam, which carried four Boeing engineers, is suggested as a potential act of industrial or electronic sabotage.

A comparison of news reports and official press releases for Iridium Satellite LLC reveals a sharp 83% drop in net income despite record subscriber growth and increased revenue. The company's public relations efforts emphasize resilience following a recent satellite collision, while financial data shows a significant plummet in quarterly earnings to $1.5 million.

A theory is presented linking a recent satellite collision involving Iridium and a Russian satellite to the Continental 3407 crash. It is suggested that the Department of Defense may have used an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon to disable a Russian spy satellite, inadvertently causing the plane's electronic failure.
