Hegseth AI email
ITM,
Here is the email from Pete Hegseth that went out to everyone this morning about their Google Gemni Ai called GenAi.mil. it crashed as soon as everyone noticed the icon after this was forced onto everyone's devices this morning. I'm not teaching our customers how to use this when they can't get get the basics of Teams and SharePoint down. Overall, this was a complete failure on the DoW end of turning this on.
**UNCLASSIFIED**
Men and Women of the Department of War,
I am pleased to introduce [**GenAI.mil**](https://genai.mil), a secure generative AI platform for every member of the Department of War. It is live **today** and available on the desktops of all military personnel, civilians, and contractors. With this launch we are taking a giant step toward mass AI adoption across the Department. This tool marks the beginning of a new era where every member of our workforce can be more efficient and impactful.
The first GenAI platform capability is **Google Gemini**, a frontier AI application that can help you write documents, ask questions, conduct deep research, format content, and unlock new possibilities across your daily workflows. Gemini is the first of **several** enterprise AI applications that will be rolled out on the GenAI platform. It is secure, certified up to Impact Level 5 (IL5), and is fully authorized to handle CUI.
Victory belongs to those who embrace real innovation. Rather than being reliant on the dusty, antiquated systems of a bygone era, we are thinking ahead here in the Department of War. [GenAI.mil](https://genai.mil) is part of this monumental transformation. It removes wasted time and focuses more of our energy into decisive results for the warfighter.
Access is straightforward. Navigate to [GenAI.mil](https://genai.mil) and you will be able to access the tool with your CAC. The platform is certified secure for operational use on NIPR.
I expect every member of the Department to log in, learn it, and incorporate it into your workflows immediately. AI should be in your battle rhythm every single day. It should be your teammate. By mastering this tool, we will outpace our adversaries. The power is now in your hands.
Godspeed,
**Pete Hegseth**
**Secretary of War**

Monroe Doctrine Song
In the last show when Adam asked John
to summarize the Monroe Doctrine, this song immediately came to my
mind. Our homeschool curriculum uses songs to remember key facts in
history. No Agenda is an essential part of our homeschool week. My kids
love it when they hear things on No Agenda that they have learned about
in our studies. This is just one more example.
By they way, if any other producers out there are looking for a Christ-centered homeschool community, they can go to http://www.classicalconversations.com
EU UK Ukraine and NATO
Swedish Warning Pamphlet
Hello. I hope this message finds you well.
I've been around
for a couple of months and thoroughly enjoy your deconstruction of the
situation in the EU and the warmongering that's going on.
On
thursday's episode you mentioned the pamphlet your daughter received in
Holland. This was sent out in Sweden probably two years ago and is an
updated version of the same pamphlet that was given out during the cold
war and its title translates to "In case of crisis or war " - see
attachment.
One major difference between the
national edition we received and the EU one is that we are expected to
prepare for 7 days without aid and what has me especially concerned is
the limitations being put on using- and keeping cash since the
government don't have a sports cap (i.e don't have a chance) of
providing assistance even to the most vulnerable in a week. We are on
our own and my only issue with that is the false sense of security which
is telling regarding the actual European values.
Also,
the main figure behind the Swedish branch of Eurovision tried to launch a
US version a couple of years back called American Song Contest which
ran on NBC.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.--

Boycott or Burgeoning Arms Deals? Eurovision Is Not the Full Story of Israel's Relations With Europe - Haaretz Today
For instance, in February 2024, the Netherlands blocked exports of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel. One year later, in January 2025, the Dutch Defense Ministry signed a $175 million deal with the Israeli company Elbit for aircraft defense systems.
Likewise, Slovenia announced that it would ban all weapons trade with Israel last August, yet has continued to procure anti-tank missile systems from companies that are owned in part or in whole by branches of Israel's state-owned defense-tech industry.
The Spanish government is therefore an outlier in Europe in its willingness to tear up existing contracts it had signed with Israeli weapons companies and pay the financial price.
The persistent European demand for Israeli weapons-tech illustrates the scale of the challenge facing activists who hope that economic and diplomatic consequences can force Israel to change its course amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and spiraling settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
