![Look ma new Codex Updates! 0.119.0 and 0.120.0 are here. And with it, a HUGE number of quality of life updates and bug fixes! > Hooks now render in a dedicated live area above the composer. They only persist when they have output, so your terminal stays clean. If you're running PreToolUse or PostToolUse hooks, this is a huge readability win. > Hooks are now available again on Windows > CTRL+O copies the last agent output. Small but clutch when you're pulling a code block into another file or chat. > New statusline option: context usage as a graphical bar instead of a percentage. Easier to glance at mid-session when you're trying to gauge how much runway you have left. > Zellij support is here with no scrollback bugs. If you've been stuck on tmux just because Codex was broken in Zellij, you're free now (shout out Felipe Coury 🦀) > Memory extensions just landed. The consolidation agent can now discover plugin folders under memories_extensions/ and read their instructions.md to learn how to interpret new memory sources. Drop a folder in, give it guidance, and the agent picks it up automatically during summarization. No core code changes needed. This is the first real extension point for Codex's memory system, and it opens the door for third-party memory plugins. > Did you know, you can /rename a thread? But what's really cool about that is, after you rename it, you can resume it with the same name, no more UUIDs. codex resume mynewapp or directly from the TUI: /resume mynewapp > Multi agents v2 got an update to tool descriptions More reliable multi agent environments and inter agent communication > You can now enable TUI notifications whether Codex is in focus or not. Modify this in your config: [tui] notification_condition = "always" > MAJOR overhaul to Codex MCP functionality: 1. Codex Tool Search now works with custom MCP servers, so tools can be searched and deferred instead of all being exposed up front. 2. Custom MCP servers can now trigger elicitations, meaning they can stop and ask for user approval or input mid-flow. 3. MCP tool results now preserve richer metadata, which improves app/UI handoff behavior. 4. Codex can now read MCP resources directly, letting apps return resource URIs that the client can actually open. 5. File params for Codex Apps are smoother: local file paths can be uploaded and remapped automatically. 6. Plugin cache refresh and fallback sync behavior are more reliable, especially for custom and curated plugins. > Composer and chat behavior smoother overall, resize bugs remain though. > Realtime v2 got several significant improvements as well. > You're still reading? What a legend. 🫶 npm i -g @openai/codex to update](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2042844012592189619/ext_tw_video_thumb/2042843968967200768/pu/img/KqqejNVdP4ntsAP6.jpg)
![🚨What is she carrying? Part 2⁉️ Depending on your AI platform preference … we get either a $40,000 handheld X-ray device or a $40 thermos-and-lunch-bag cooler combo? What was your conclusion, and which was right? When we first came across this video months ago, I immediately said it looked like she was “carrying a lunch bag,” or some kind of cooler. But for whatever reason, and what we were more focused on at the time, we didn’t spend the hours and hours and hours required to drill down on those few seconds of video. Not until this week. Tons of social media critics say I should “just release everything we know, and let the truth fall where it may.” But that’s how we get in trouble. And we HAVE gotten things wrong in this five-year-long investigation. EVERYONE has made mistakes. Left and right media, major legacy media, alternative media, and even the best of the independent journalists have made mistakes or misreported details of the January 6, 2021 event. Whether on purpose, by accident, or careless disregard of the truth … you can be the judge of each incident. I’ve explained on numerous occasions that we’ve spent more than a year researching, investigating, and preparing some stories before going public. In this case, when we finally started looking hard at it, the Brave New World of AI took us on a wild goose chase. We now have good reason to finally drill down on the timelines and available video leading up to the sequence of events on the night of January 5, 2021 … the night before the discovery of the two “devices” at the RNC and DNC headquarters. When inputting into AI that first video — which I posted last night — It began spitting out some shocking alternatives to my original “lunch bag” assumption. Unprompted, the AI drew its own conclusion about what Ms. Kerkhoff was carrying, probably because they were “cops” in the video. To be clear, UNPROMPTED, AI was initially adamant that the item in her hand was a portable X-ray device for sniffing out narcotics, weapons, and explosives. Even some The U.S. Capitol Police sources we shared the video with said the same thing. Other Capitol Police sources were more skeptical. Then, suddenly AI wasn’t so sure. As I mentioned last night, in my second post, X’s Grok and Google’s Gemini were arguing with each other. Gemini was shockingly specific: “The item being carried by the officer in that CCTV footage matches the exact structural form factor, top-handle position, and multi-point shoulder strap design of a Viken Detection HBI-120 Handheld Backscatter X-Ray Imager … Rather than being transported bare, it is housed in its specialized tactical, weather-resistant soft deployment carry case.” Wow. You can imagine how that hit like a bolt of lightning, considering whom we were looking at. Grok was less committed, offering varying possibilities ranging from a “paper takeout bag” to all manner of sophisticated law enforcement-used electronic devices. When I pitted Grok against Gemini — and vice versa — Gemini dug in its heels, saying: “Based on the visual evidence in the video and the analysis circulating in response to Steve Baker's query, the device carried by Officer Kerkhoff is almost certainly a Viken Detection (formerly Heuresis) HBI-120 in its tactical soft-carry case. While officially unconfirmed, the visual and structural match is highly specific.” Grok countered: “The competitor [Gemini] write-up describes that pouch as if it were a catalog item with a unique layout, then maps the CCTV blob onto it and calls it an ‘exact’ match. The citations in that text are HBI-120 product pages, not photos of a factory soft case that looks like this bag. That is overfit. Size class + top handle + ‘looks tactical’ is not an identification of an 8-pound 120 keV imager. Could an agency have put an HBI-120 in some aftermarket or unit-made padded bag? Yes. Does this video prove that? No.” But Grok was also an absolute mess in describing the basic video scene itself: “A gray-haired person in dark clothing walks in from the left carrying a dark bag by a single top handle. Papers or a light object in the other hand. Two uniformed officers come down the ramp. They meet. Later two officers walk the sidewalk; one has a light-colored item (bag or papers), and a dark bag is still in the scene. Someone else walks away across the lot with a bag.” Huh? Anyway… Gemini didn’t like what it called “The Thermos Theory”: “Soft Lunch Coolers typically use flexible nylon webbing straps or soft padded handles that pinch or deform when lifted. The handle in the video does not appear to ‘pinch’ like a soft strap; it remains an open loop. This structural rigidity strongly favors the Viken device (or a hard-shelled case) over a soft lunch bag.” Grok’s conclusion: “On evidence quality, the Viken ID is the weaker of the two. It is possible in the abstract and unsupported as a positive ID here. The honest read is: dark soft top-handle bag, lunch-cooler to small-kit size, contents unknown. Anything more specific needs a better frame, a still of the bag on the ground, or provenance outside this clip.” Gemini’s conclusion: “This single frame is ambiguous due to the blur and lighting (reflection). However, the rigid, non-deforming handle visible in the officer's grip is a mechanical characteristic of the Viken HBI-120 (or similar heavy equipment) and is inconsistent with the flexible straps of a standard soft lunch cooler. While the "silver" glint is a point for the thermos theory, it is plausibly explained by the Viken's glass screen or case window. Verdict: The structural analysis (rigid handle) still favors the heavier equipment (Viken) over a standard soft lunch bag.” So, depending on your AI preference … we get either a $40,000 handheld X-ray device or a $40 thermos-and-lunch-bag cooler combo? But there is more evidence in the alternate video angles available. (That I now present below.) They seem to confirm with the ‘human eye’ that Ms. Kerkhoff is carrying a metal cylinder (possibly a thermos) in the same hand as a soft-sided lunch bag cooler. Though the design conflicts with the common thermos handle configurations of most known cylinder thermoses. (Photos below.) And we've not been able to get an accurate hit on the so-called "lunch bag" with that specific handle and strap configuration. And THAT is why you don’t just “release what you know” without seeking every possible video angle and expert opinion. That is why we didn’t run to print with our original November 8 story on the OG topic without first taking it to a government intelligence agency and professional investigators for review. That is why so many bad theories about January 6 still abound — five and a half years later — because they were based on a single camera angle, when years later, the same scene was revealed to have been captured from multiple angles that change reality 180 degrees. This is exactly why all CCTV footage — not just from January 6, but also January 5 and 7 — still needs to be released to the public. When Speaker Mike Johnson authorized Rep. Barry Loudermilk's old investigative subcommittee to begin uploading CCTV footage to a Congressional Rumble channel, we were elated. I had already spent many weeks in the Capitol CCTV viewing room in D.C. The travel, the expense, and the scheduling hassles with the committee made it nearly impossible to spend the amount of time required to prepare any story correctly. Not only to view and harvest what you were looking for, but also to sift through far more than the infamous “41,000 hours” of footage. Congress made more than 1,800 cameras' worth of footage available, and ten total days of footage. That’s hundreds of thousands of hours of potentially useful footage to review. An impossible task for any one person or media organization to review if Congress didn’t make that footage directly available to the public. But they didn’t finish the project. Tens of thousands of vitally important hours from both January 5 and 6 were never uploaded to the Rumble page. Additionally, my team has made specific requests for curiously missing gaps in footage throughout that two-day timeline. In an arrangement made with the Committee, they had originally been very good about getting us the footage from the specific cameras and timestamps we requested. That suddenly stopped when the new Congress and Loudermilk’s new J6 investigative subcommittee took over in January of 2025. Joe Hanneman and I have made innumerable requests — REPEATEDLY — for missing and/or unreleased cameras and timestamps specifically related to the pipe bomb investigation. Despite being told — REPEATEDLY — that they would provide the requested footage, they never did. Something happened. As I’ve reported several times in the last few months, the Capitol Police were finally and successfully able to shut down Loudermilk’s subcommittee investigation into ALL THINGS related to the Capitol Police. They did this only with the complicity and surrender of Speaker Johnson and Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan to Capitol Police leadership’s demands. On that note, and in conclusion … there are eight full hours of missing footage from January 5, right in the middle of the day. ALL CAMERAS are missing. These are important hours for what we are tracking. We can see Ms. Kerkhoff arrive at Capitol Police HQ early in the morning to clock in for her shift, but she is not carrying her “lunch bag and thermos” when she arrives. Her car is parked two blocks away, and is in the same parking spot at the end of her day. We can see her leave HQ late in the day (as I’ve documented in the last several posts on this page) with other officers and go to the Fairchild Building. Only to return some half hour later carrying that … thing(?) … and only to spend 45 seconds in the HQ to “clock out” from her overtime shift. We’re still missing vital video footage that both Speakers McCarthy and Johnson promised the American people. Including certain cameras deliberately withheld at the RNC bomb drop location, and other cameras with mysterious gaps at the most important of moments. Do the other video angles here prove that either Grok or Gemini was right, or does the X hive mind have better theories on what Kerkhoff is carrying? How about that high-definition CCTV camera that is right inside that west side door at Capitol Police HQ, with good lighting? They should release that video to us. A $40,000 bomb detection device or a Walmart thermos and lunch bag? I’m good with either. The truth is what we seek. But we should be able to see ALL the footage. Including all Capitol CCTV cameras and footage from January 6, and the days immediately preceding and following. Including the 39,000 video files the FBI claims to have in the entire J5/J6 pipe bomb investigation. Conspiracy theories are born and fester precisely because the government isn’t transparent and purposefully keeps the People in the dark. Then the lawyers who control government make billions from the legal aftermath.
