Truth vs. NEW$ Part 2 (8 May 2022) with Don Grahn, Scott Bennett, and Holly Seeliger

Time Text
Welcome back, folks, to Truth Vs. News, Incorporated, here on Mother's Day.
And we're right in the middle of a conversation, and we'll turn it over to the super mother here, Holly Seliger.
She's got her comments on the topic.
Go ahead.
Yeah, Holly, what difference do you think it's going to make, this decision on the November election?
Well, I've already received some fundraising emails.
I think it was like the day of that this information was leaked out by Politico.
I think it was some progressive groups and whatever, some sort of Democratic fundraising groups.
They're not even a Democrat.
A lot of them are just, you know, NGOs or nonprofits trying to fundraise money and funnel it to, you know, probably to these protesters and whoever they're going to need to stir up and rabble rouse.
I think they are going to try to do another summer of love where they have a bunch of people protesting and like riots and whatnot and sort of funnel a lot of that aggression that people are seeing.
Like people are going to start going nuts.
When they started seeing empty shelves again and gas prices going through the roof this summer and people not being able to afford to see friends or family or travel or I'm even seeing food shortages here and like your article said that's what people are really concerned about is inflation.
Talking about millennials and people my age and younger even or older anyone trying to who's trying to buy a house right now people who have saved up being like Okay, interest rates were at 2% or 3%.
We can make this happen.
And then suddenly everything spikes up to 5%.
Jerome Powell, another central bank, talking about raising interest rates again.
And then Biden also throwing around this idea of possibly repealing or doing some sort of debt jubilee on student loans.
That's not going to happen.
They're just throwing around a few things to try to fundraise.
And to try to activate their base and none of this is going to work because we're facing a war right now and we're facing massive inflation and the cost of food and everything is so and cost of rent.
None of this is going to be addressed by Biden and the Democrats.
So ultimately, it's not going to make much of a difference.
It's mostly just opportunity to fundraise and change up the news cycle this summer when they have a bunch of protests.
They're not going to blame Biden for it, though.
They'll just say, oh, this is, you know, because of Roe v. Wade or it's because of this or that.
They're going to try to avoid it as much as people actually angry at Biden and his regime right now.
Believe it or not, Mitch McConnell is already stating that they may go for a nationwide ban on abortion.
And if you oppose a nationwide permission for abortion, a nationwide ban ought to fall into the same category and be equally objectionable.
This might even cause members of the court to reverse their opinion.
I think that Mitch McConnell made a huge mistake here politically, my opinion.
Meanwhile, by inflation, trade deficits soared over $100 billion for the first time ever.
The U.S.
trade deficit rose an astonishing 22% in March to $109.8 billion as the price of oil and imported products rose by soaring inflation.
The trade gap was revised up to $89.8 billion.
Making it a previous record high, January's figure was 89.23, which was then a record high.
Economists had expected the deficit to hit $106.5 billion.
hit $106.5 billion.
Imports jumped 10.3% in March to a record $351.5 billion, not adjusted for inflation.
So much of the gain is due to higher prices, not solely caused by an increased imports, which were also up 5.6% to $241.7 billion, also a record.
Exports have risen more slowly than imports because the economies of nations that buy U.S.
goods and services have experienced more sluggish recovery than the U.S.
And of course, all the sanctions on Russia, it's going to turn the international economy upside down.
The U.S.
is going to suffer mightily because of the profoundly stupid sanctions on Russia.
The surge in imports in the first quarter reflects a clearing of the backlog of goods stuck in ports at U.S.
City, especially those in Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Meanwhile, a CNN poll, 77% say Joe Biden's economy is poor.
That's the highest percentage in a decade.
47% said it was somewhat poor.
Another 30% said it's very poor.
Only 2% said very good.
21% said somewhat good.
The BOA also found the economy is the number one issue for America by 36 points.

Economists believe the economy will grow worse.
50-50 chance of a recession in the coming months.
Recession risk has risen, Goldman Banker Jan Hetzius wrote.
The financial health of the public sector may ultimately determine whether policy tightening will tilt the economy into a downturn.
In large part due to Biden's fiscal policies, inflation has reached a 40-year high.
Polling reveals Americans trust Republicans over Democrats by 19 points to handle inflation, 50 to 31 percent.
Meanwhile, food supplies shut down.
Deer, fish, pigs euthanize.
Crops not planted.
This is profoundly disturbing.
By an observing alien species would ask, why is humanity destroying all of its own food sources?
In this special broadcast, we have a candid conversation about the overwhelming attack on our food supply.
With crops unplanted, more food facilities burning down, the media runs stories about Food, fire, conspiracy theories, but it's not just chickens.
The state is also killing deer and fish in the name of stopping disease.
Start growing food now if you want to survive.
Scott, it's going to be too little too late.
Your thoughts?
Well, this is something where I'm a little bit perplexed about these stories of food being burned down and animals and all the stuff being euthanized.
You know, the state, the governor of the state and the sheriffs of the counties where these farms and such are located, should be protecting these resources as a national security threat.
Because, as Holly wisely observed, if you have bare shelves without food and such, you have anarchy, chaos, And predatory madness in the population.
So food and water is the only thing that keeps the population from descending into complete barbaric madness and criminal behavior.
And it really puts man into the jungle of the strongest and the fittest survive.
It's the road warrior mentality, food and water.
So if this is real, and I've tested people on this, If it's real, that's where the sheriff and the governor of the state needs to come in and defend these places from being destroyed.
The economy and what Biden has done with the production of money, inflation, they're trying to quote $33 billion.
There's a masonic number.
$33 billion they're trying to pass for Ukraine.
How much have they spent already?
We've wasted time and treasure on the Ukrainian situation and it's all coming back to haunt us.
And the other thing about America, this is a multi-dimensional corruption, a multi-dimensional withering and souring of American life.
The university college system, unless you're studying engineering or medical science or something that has a practical skill building based on knowledge component assembling, some sort of practical skill, unless you're you're pursuing that, you're wasting money if you're studying humanities or gender studies or black lives this or gay studies or women's studies or any of this stuff.
Unless you're doing something constructive, the American education system has turned absolutely flat and corrupted.
It's exorbitantly expensive.
Kids aren't getting anything out of it.
The real investment should be into, and I had a conversation with an entrepreneur guy last week about this, the investment needs to be in the middle schools and the high schools to train up and allow young people to develop skills in whatever industries that they want, whether it's high tech or engineering or automotive or any of the practical things.
And also, The other thing that is destroying this society, this American culture, is the weaponization of pharmacological drugs into our children.
I don't think there's more devastating consequences than giving little boys and girls Ritalin or behavior modification or pacification drugs to, quote, calm them down, that's destroyed a generation.
And also the idiot teachers.
How many of these moronic sociopathic teachers with purple hair who call themselves non-binary are in positions to influence our children?
do it purposefully weaponizing propaganda to pervert and corrupt and twist these young children.
And you already see the fruits of that with young children saying, I'm transitioning into being a girl or something like that.
That's not the role of a school or education.
So all of this stuff that's happening in America is a multidimensional ruining effect.
And it's destroying.
And that's why people, again, are coming out and they're creating their own societies, their own schools, their own businesses, their own associations.
And in these states like Florida and elsewhere where conservatives are fleeing to, it's precisely because of that.
The madness of the left is destroying the country so people are moving to states where you have a healthier atmosphere, Jim.
Just two points on a very large issue.
Having, of course, spent 35 years offering courses in philosophy at institutions of higher learning across the country, I think you're needlessly denigrating the benefits of intellectual development, especially in the area of logic, critical thinking, and scientific reasoning that enables students to better cope with all the problems life confronts.
In the second place, however, and maybe more pointed, There have been between 12 and 20 food processing plants that have been destroyed.
The sheriffs and the police can't do anything about it until after the fact.
It's being done deliberately.
The food shortage is going to be massive.
Americans are going to be starving.
Remember the rule of threes.
You can go three minutes without air.
You can go three days without water.
You can go three weeks without food.
This is descending upon us and it's coming faster than your head can spin.
Holly, your thoughts?
Yeah, I've been trying to tell family members and whatnot to try to stock up and like get more food, grab an extra can of food here or there.
And people just roll their eyes at me like I'm crazy, you know, even just because we're already seeing supply shortages here as far as like you go to the grocery store and you see everything's moved up on the shelves because they just really don't have the inventory, empty shelves here already as far as food.
And we will probably see a lot of those protests this summer.
They're going to say because it's Roe v. Wade or it's because of Ukraine or whatever they're going to make it up but in reality it's going to be about food and inflation and people actually just losing their minds because things are so expensive and people can't afford their rent and you just can't have moratoriums on rent forever and It's going to get, yeah, I'm definitely concerned about food supplies and whatnot here and all manufactured, of course.
I mean, we've got all the abundance in the world available to us if we actually put our minds to it, but we're overtaken by psychopaths right now, unfortunately.
And as far as education, I think, obviously, I think critical thinking and everything like that needs needs to be taught and should be taught in schools.
But I, I personally have, as someone who got a four year bachelor's in a liberal studies, I'm still owing student loan debt to that.
And it was kind of a foolish choice.
As far as that goes, I feel like I use the skills I learned in college every single day, I try to use it.
With what I do in my life, but as far as being in debt the rest of my life, I think maybe having a technical skill or something like that would have helped me not get into that long term liberal studies debt that I got myself into.
And people should kids should be learning farming right now.
I wish we need small scale farming.
We need everyone planting food and seeds and figuring out what we're going to do.
If something terrible like an EMP, which obviously I think our government or, you know, corrupt elements within it will do that and blame it on, you know, a world war or China or Russia or something, just as every other false flag it perpetrated or orchestrated between with people, traitors within the United States trying to do this, try to.
Uh, freak out the masses, whatnot, institute more control.
Definitely concerned about that.
I hope that doesn't happen with something like an EMP, especially if water supply or something like that, people, uh, water cleaning facilities, whatnot, water sewer goes down.
That's obviously a nightmare.
Let me say one thing.
The EMP attacks that occurred in Venezuela may be a test operation for them to do in multiple Central American and South American countries to flow an influx of refugees up into this country.
You can hurt the U.S.
and the people and cause them to go crazy with an EMP in this country, I agree, but you can even do more damage Well, but Scott, it's also a beta test for doing it in the U.S.
Yes.
I mean, and look, it's highly probable.
shut off everybody's power in Venezuela or somewhere, they're gonna come marching up into that million caravan into the United States.
I think that's the danger. - Well, but Scott, it's also a beta test for doing it in the US. - Yes. - I mean, and look, it's highly probable.
The United States has known its electric grid is vulnerable for decades and decades and done nothing about it.
And I think a simplest attack by Russia in retaliation for US, interfering and becoming a belligerent would be an EMP on our electrical grid.
It would shut down the country completely.
And that is where Biden and these mad dogs have led us.
It's insanity.
But it's being done deliberately.
Meanwhile, talk about your absurdities.
Biden calls MAGA the most extreme political organization ever existed in American history.
This line reeks of desperation.
It's pretty clear Democrats are afraid of the trouncing they're going to take in the midterm, so they're vilifying the opposition as extremists and bigots.
Biden was asked a question about the leaked draft.
This reminds me of the debate with Robert Bork.
He said, Bork believed the only reason you had any inherent rights is because the government gave them to you.
When I was questioning him as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I said, I believe I have rights I have not because the government gave them to me, which you believe, but because I'm a child of God, I exist.
So the idea that there somehow is an inherent right, that there's no right of privacy, that there is no right—there's been a law saying a married couple could not purchase birth control in the privacy of their own bedroom and use it.
Well, that was struck down.
He was referring to Griswold v. Connecticut, which he said was thought to be a bad decision by working on the guys in the Supreme Court.
Now what happens if you have states changing the law?
Seeing that children who are LGBT who can't be in classrooms with other children, is that a legit way?
What are the next things that are going to be attacked?
Because this mega crowd is really the most extreme political organization existing in American history.
Just unbelievable!
His comments about MAGA came after he declared the GOP ain't your father's Republican Party, saying it shifted to MAGA Party, warning right-wing politicians who know better to act correctly out of fear of losing a primary election.
This is just about as absurd as it gets.
There's so much going on, it would take a dozen articles to cover everything here.
We're going to ignore the absurdity that overturning Roe would trigger a mass repeal of constitutionally protected rights, like birth control or segregating gay kids in school.
That's just beer mongering.
Let's focus on what he's saying about the opposition.
The Mega Crowd is the most extreme political organization in recent American history.
Really, Joe?
Did he forget his eulogy for the not-dead-enough Senator Robert Byrd, who was not just a recruiter for the KKK but led a chapter that he started in West Virginia, an overtly political organization founded in order to push back against Republican Reconstruction-era policies that aim for equality for black Americans, As late as the 40s, it was still a political movement.
Bill Clinton admitted as much when he sought to dismiss what he called not dead enough Robert Byrd's fleeting associate with the KKK because Byrd was a country boy from the hills and hollows from West Virginia who was trying to get elected.
But MAGA is far worse than the KKK.
Is it because Mega is committed to America first.
Mega is a grassroots movement.
Mega has welcomed blue-collar workers and recognized they've been abandoned by Democrats who don't have their backs.
Mega brought manufacturing back to America.
Mega cut red tape and regulation.
Mega reduced taxes for the middle class.
Mega believes the U.S.
should speak softly and carry a big stick.
Rather than the neolib neocon strategy of interventionism and nation building, MAGA wants to cure borders and immigration laws on the books in force.
MAGA puts back on fake news narratives that are basically Democrat talking points.
The list could go on.
Well, Biden is saying this in relation to abortion.
It's that Democrats, with their extreme views, who are out of the mainstream, most voters, even pro-choice, think there should be some limits on abortion.
But some Democrats are now pushing abortion on demand.
For all nine months of pregnancy.
That's it.
Will Biden be the guy to push that agenda forward, just like he has been kowtowing to the far left on their spending priorities?
The Democrat Party has strayed from its roots and the GOP is cleaning up in its wake.
There's been a distinct shift in recent years, thanks to the rabid indoctrination in colleges especially.
Meg is attracted all sorts, from all sorts of backgrounds.
The Democrats are attracting the prissy, preening culture of political elites that have no connection to the common man, yet they never stop lecturing them on why they're wrong and demand that those who oppose them be silenced.
Democrats are no longer the cool kids.
They're just hoping to go back to that tired old strategy of vilifying the opposition instead of having substantive debates on the issues.
They never want substantive debates on the issues because they know they lose.
Polls show the red pilling of America continues despite the regime media pushing Democrat talking points.
The red wave is coming.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, I think it's always constructive to return to the basic demented pathology of Democrats.
Psychologically, they hate truth.
That's why they invent political correctness and safe spaces, places that they can escape to, like, you know, Hyperbolic chambers, you know, to try and seal themselves off from truth and analytics and discussion and debate and philosophical discourse and analysis of issues.
Democrats hate all of that because they're emotionally hysterical beings and they're discombobulated, they're fractured, And they're, you know, dismembered emotionally and psychologically and spiritually.
The most broken people I've ever come across have been Democrat, leftists, socialists, and Holly observed earlier, the fringe of these Chazz Zone, you know, violent thugs and stuff.
They really have no core cohesion in them.
and you know that that all they have is emotional vitriolic you know vomiting out of of uh hatred and vengeance and animosity and it's not aimed at any rational political construct it's it's aimed at The phantom menace of their earlier childhood or deep emotional wounds and such.
And they're desperate to try and alleviate that pain by these sort of political, tyrannical actions and thinking, well, if we just change society by force, If we force people to do this, and if they don't, we throw them in jail and kill them or send them to a FEMA camp.
If we force people to get a vaccine, if we force people to do this, everybody will be equally the same, equally miserable.
They're a joyless group.
The hope is the vast majority of Americans are more conservative right.
They're not left.
That's been under attack for a long time, of course, with divorce and the breaking up of the family.
When you do that, you basically pour toxic chemicals into the soil and grow stunted, demented, you know, problematic human beings.
And then when you amplify that with bad medications and bad education, I would agree with your earlier point, Jim, the philosophical disciplines, which I got from my bachelor's, master's and PhD, are all very essential to rounding out a person's ability to think.
However, that's like 10% of your college diet.
It used to be more, but now they've replaced it with all sorts of other bad things that don't add anything to the person's ability to be functional and profit.
So you're seeing American society and American government being populated by dysfunctional, unhealthy, confused people that are unable to create anything.
Look at what we've done!
There's another component in the social unrest that's going to engulf this country.
We do not have any producers anymore.
We've put it outside to Mexico or China or elsewhere.
But we don't have that, you know, ingrained.
We don't have shoe factories or steel factories or wood factories or any of the things that the country was built upon.
Russia does, and it does even more now and better now because of the sanctions and our attempt to abuse and hurt them for 25 years.
Has only created a more robust independent society.
And the other thing about Russia is the Russian people, the analysts that I've heard, have said young people in Russia are astoundingly anti-West now.
Why shouldn't they be?
Because we've been hurting them for 25 years, and these young kids who are, you know, in their 20s now, have lived in nothing but a hostile America against Russia.
So they're at the point of divorcing themselves entirely from America.
So the Russians, the youth, no longer look at America as anything good, decent, or to be respected.
They have a lot of anger and resentment against America.
And that is also a big shift because the foolishness of thinking, well, the world looks at America like an envy with, you know, wanting to come here.
That's a lie, too.
And Putin said it well when he said this woke-ism is a crime against humanity.
So America, in many of these regards, are so infected with woke-ism Well said, Scott.
Yes, Putin described the West and America especially as an empire of lies, and he got it right.
We represent decadence and corruption.
Why should any nation in the world want to emulate America?
Hawley, your thoughts?
Well, thinking about how the lockdowns kind of shifted families and dynamics, especially people with younger children, a lot of women have decided not to go back to the workforce and have started to take on roles as mothers in the home and whatnot.
And that has been Like disturbing for like the, the women's, you know, rights movement or whatever, people trying to get women back into the workforce.
And that has been sort of an issue.
And I think, I mean, either way, I think women should be able to do what they want, as long as childcare and everything like that is, is available to them.
Unfortunately, we see now, especially for people my age, women are the majority that are In college, and the ones that are massively in debt as well the student loan debt tied in with that as well.
And men are choosing not to go to college and get into the student loan debt so we are seeing a switch within the family system as far as women.
Expected they say majority of women now within new marriages and new families majority of women are now the breadwinners so it is kind of cause like a shift in the expectations for society as far as Women being able to take care of children and work full time and support the household, do everything that women are supposed to do within the household as well.
So that I think that contributes to the record number of divorces that we're seeing right now.
And a lot of men my age and younger having difficulty figuring out their role as far as if they're not a breadwinner anymore.
What do they what do they do?
Are they able to stay home with the children?
Are they going to pick up the housework and everything like that?
So we're seeing a big split within the traditional gender roles.
And this is a long time coming.
So if things aren't kind of split evenly, then we see the divorce rates going up and the single parents and the single mothers.
And then on top of that, you know, the crime rate and everything that we've seen men being put into jail.
We've seen that the targeting of African-American communities for generations now, school to prison pipeline.
The drugs, everything like that.
I see record number of people, especially in poverty, turning to drugs and then ending up in the prison pipeline.
And then from there, how can you ever get a job?
And then I've also seen there's this weird juxtaposition, just as a side note, as marijuana has been legalized in all these states, like I'm in a state where there's literally marijuana
Dispensaries everywhere it's like the only thing that's growing right now and at the same time for a job you still have to get drug tested so people are failing drug tests and then they can't work because now that these dispensaries and everything is everywhere and so easy to get a lot of jobs still require that you have to pass a drug test so that's we also leading to people not being able to get back to work so Just some thoughts.
I know it's not completely related, but I think we're seeing a collapse of traditional roles and people being able to quote unquote, get back to work as far as young people.
Those were wonderful observations, Holly.
We're seeing the unraveling of American society.
We're seeing the dissolution of the United States as a functioning republic, and I think it may be irreversible, sad to say.
Let me say one real quick thing on that, too.
Everything Holly said is social science statistically accurate.
I did this when I was at Heritage Foundation, and it's all there in the data.
That women who are making more money than their husbands have a disrespect for the husband.
Their surveys and all that jazz.
So women naturally begin to cultivate and foster a disrespect.
A lot of it's biologically rooted too, if not everything's biologically rooted.
So when you see the traditional roles of men and women change, You inevitably are moving towards a more hostile, dysfunctional, upset society.
And this whole thing on women, pushing them into the workforce, automatically begins to damage the family and marriages and things like that.
So it's very alarming and it's all statistically seen.
Thank you very much.
Mississippi and Louisiana have just filed suits against Joe Biden, Justin Psaki, and Dr. Fauci, whom I refer to as Tony the Rat, and other top-ranking officials for colluding with social media companies to suppress freedom of speech under the guise of combating misinformation.
This is a long-overdue and most welcome development, which I applaud.
The lawsuit alleges the Biden administration colluded with and pressured social media giants Meta, formerly Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to suppress and censor free speech on topics like the Hunter Biden laptop, the lab leak theory, and more.
Here are a few examples.
A tweet by Attorney General Eric Schmidt that showed top-ranking officials colluded with social media companies to censor and suppress freedom of speech.
In October 2020, after publishing an article on the contents of Biden's laptop, the New York Post's main Twitter account was locked, and Twitter blocked other users from sharing the link.
Both Twitter and Facebook took extraordinary censorship measures against the Post over its exposé about Hunter.
The lawsuit states Biden and his allies, those acting in concert with him, falsely attacked the Hunter Biden laptop story as disinformation.
Beginning in February 2020, Facebook and other platforms began censoring tweets about the lab leak theory.
Facebook updated its content moderation of COVID-19 to include false and debunked claims that COVID was man-made or manufactured.
According to the lawsuit, Dr. Anthony Fauci, as director of NIAID-funded gain-of-function research, exchanged emails with Mark Zuckerberg regarding public messaging and dissemination of information on social media.
In a March 15, 2020 email, Zuckerberg proposed coordinating with Fauci.
To make people can get authoritative information from reliable sources and propose including a video message from Fauci because people trust and want to hear from experts.
Meanwhile, even the 2,000 mules account has now been suspended by Twitter.
They don't want the truth to come out.
They don't want the American people to know what's going on.
Let me further add, Tucker's revealed Biden is going to send armed agents to your house for this scary reason.
Tucker is sounding the alarm.
DHS has created a new panel called the Disinformation Governance Board, and it moves straight out of 1984.
Nina Jankiewicz, who claimed Biden's Hunter's laptop story was Russian disinformation, while believing the Steele dossier is real, will now head a panel that's the official Ministry of Truth.
During a monologue, Tucker explained how dangerous this is.
Biden cannot continue to control this country if you have free access to information, so the best he can do is lie to you and demand you believe it.
But to do that, he needs to make sure nobody else can talk, because if you were to hear the truth, you might not obey.
He explained that in America, the government doesn't get to arbitrate the truth, adding the disinformation board is straight out of Soviet Russia.
This is America.
We don't do things like that here, and we never have.
More precisely, we haven't until now.
But Biden is president, and everything is different.
To herald the coming of the new Soviet America, the administration announced its own Ministry of Truth.
This is to be called the Disinformation Governance Board.
Tucker explained how DHS, which a 2014 government accountability report stated had 70,000 armed agents and nearly 159 million rounds of ammo—hollow point, by the way—would now enforce Biden's talking points as official truth.
So one of our biggest law enforcement agencies has men with guns around the country doing so many things to stop disinformation and false narratives.
These aren't even lies.
They're just deviations from the approved script.
Mallorca's head of DHS told us again, men with guns plan to identify individuals who could be descending into violence.
Could be descending.
Could be.
Not people who have committed violence or have been accused of any crime at all, but who could be.
He concluded armed agents will now be enforcing the narrative.
His critics are now enemies of the state.
DHS is giving law enforcement power to identify and publish people who think the wrong thing.
Those would-be opponents of the Biden administration.
Is this dystopian fiction?
No, it's happening in front of us now.
That means Biden's partisan political enemies are now officially enemies of the state.
How is this happening, America?
Good question, but it is happening.
And here is the ditz, the absolute brainless woman who's put in charge.
Check this out.
There's already this idea, this allegation, that there is anti-conservative bias on the platforms, even though there has been study after study proving, in fact, that often it's liberal voices that are being silenced, particularly minority voices on social media.
...sight of the fact that our own government, and certainly President Trump himself, has dealt in disinformation and normalized disinformation over the past four years to the extent that there is no disincentive for most politicians to traffic in it anymore.
And this, again, as I mentioned at the beginning, should not be a partisan issue.
Democracy isn't possible without authoritative sources of information.
I would love to see a more, a really robust investment in our public broadcasting so that people have an authoritative source of news to go to in order to understand the nuance of situations.
There's a couple of narratives that Russia uses in order to weaken the U.S.-Ukraine relationship.
We see this narrative of Ukraine being a corrupt country coming up over and over again, not only in Russian language media, But in U.S.
media as well, we saw this in the lead up to the 2020 election here in the United States with allegations of corruption by Hunter Biden related to Burisma, and we know those came from Russia.
In Russia, the lines are often blurred.
If you look at things like Fancy Bear and the cyber attacks that happened on the DNC, those lines aren't as clear.
I think we can confidently say, in this case especially, that it was state-sponsored meddling.
I think the goal, in contrast to Soviet propaganda, is just to inspire distrust, dismay, discontent among Western societies, therefore making it more difficult for Western governments to govern.
I would like to see forced transparency for the platforms.
I want to know how much hate speech they're taking down, how much targeted harassment, how many reports they get from users and what their response is, how different new mechanisms in the infrastructure of the platform are affecting user behavior.
You might see racist tropes about Uh, name it.
I mean, Ilhan Omar is a favorite for this sort of racist sexual rhetoric that's compounded the idea that she married her brother to immigrate to the United States.
Rather than write the word bitch, they will use an exclamation point instead of an I.
Or they will use visual memes to avoid textual detection.
So one of the things that I get pretty frequently as a woman in my 30s without children is I get sent pictures of empty egg cartons, which are meant to remind me that my fertility is waning.
This is a complete moron.
They're going to put this woman in charge of what we can see, what we can think, what we can read.
This is an insult.
This is beyond belief.
She's a brainless twit, and the idea of elevating her to this position is staggering.
Staggering.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, she said it right there.
A woman in my 30s without children.
She's angry.
She's desperate.
She doesn't have a husband, probably, or a man worth keeping.
She's empty.
She's losing it.
And you can always tell the aggressive, head-bobbing, aggressive, you know, that's a form of aggressive, you know, bullying of information.
She's constantly doing that.
There's no logic or reason behind her arguments, and the tyranny and the dictatorship is there.
You can sense when she says, authoritative.
We want authoritative, meaning there's an authority that rules over every piece of information.
Well, where has that ever been created in America?
America is about all truth, all information being able to rise to the top, and the real truth, the cream of reality, stays there.
The lies sink.
They disappear.
There's no ground for it.
So this sort of woman Is pushing this agenda, you know, hate speech and all this other, these typical tropes, it's not going to go anywhere.
And if they think for a moment that they and the government and the Department of Homeland Security are going to survive a guerrilla war against the American people, which just seems to be what they are trying to push with armed agents, like Tucker said, armed agents, you know, doing this or that, Very easily, I could see America descending into a very real kinetic Civil War state.
And I don't want to, but I could see it very easily happen.
If you weaponize the police, the FBI, Homeland Security, if you have tank trucks, these huge armored personnel carriers, positioned in parking lots between Starbucks and Safeway and hair salons, Everybody is going to be furious at that, and you're going to have them begin to act like the Irish Republican Army or Palestinians.
They're not going to tolerate their government being so visibly oppressive on their own soil, and never mind the UN potentialities of that.
We saw that in Canada.
So I know a guerrilla war always ends badly for the government and the police forces, and
I don't want to see that go that way, but if they push it, if they bring it, you're going to see a lot of dead cops, a lot of burning armored personnel carriers, and a lot of destroyed federal buildings, because I don't think the American people are going to tolerate that kind of oppression and tyranny and dictatorship all being done against them in the name of political correctness, democracy, and freedom.
It just doesn't work, Jim.
God, I hope you're right, but I really don't see a lot of signs of the American people protesting.
I just don't see it.
But I want you to be right, because if you're not, we're in terrible straits and disaster awaits us.
Holly, your thoughts?
Well, I think things could get kinetic if they start sending people to, you know, someone's door, you know, we were concerned about that about, you know, with the mandates and stuff like that, and the lockdowns and shutdowns, you know, that's, people aren't going to tolerate that, you know, I, I was harassed by the Census Bureau.
I mean they sent, they were sending people, I don't know if it, it seemed kind of obvious to me now that it was probably about like making sure the election was rigged and like making sure they had enough ballots printed out or something, but seemed like a lot of the same people that they were sending around to like make sure, like check on people like five times to make sure that you filled out the census.
The same people who are, you know, planning to rig the election.
And I mean, the fact that this woman, she's like, she's just complete, you know, textbook case of like a millennial, like weaponized Karen that that we've seen that they use.
They've they've used and weaponized this woman.
I almost feel bad for her.
I really do.
I almost feel bad for her from like a psychological perspective about What they've thrown her into.
I don't know.
Maybe she knows exactly what she's doing and what she's up against, but I wouldn't want that job.
That's for sure.
She's like the queen of hearts, you know, demanding off with her head without any sort of, you know, power or reasoning or justice or anything.
She's just, She's got the blindfold over her eyes and she's drunk on power, obviously.
The fact that she wants to send people, you know, possibly to someone's door over an empty egg carton meme.
I mean, I get trolled quite a bit, you know, with some sophisticated stuff, but...
You know, honestly, something like an egg carton meme should just make someone laugh.
I mean, if you're going to take it that personally to where you want to basically destroy the United States, I mean, I don't, I don't know where her loyalty lies.
Also, I'll just say the fact that she used, thought this was an interesting term, and that's why I thought that video was important, was that she talked about something called trafficking in misinformation.
I don't know if that was a Freudian slip or something, Well, what they're concerned about what sort of information is going to be coming out there but to use a term like trafficking I thought was kind of, I mean, telling perhaps what they might be trying to cover in the future here just my, my thoughts from like a psychological perspective on
What sort of word she was using, and also that term misinformation, I don't believe was an actual word a few years ago, but now they need to invent words like this to try to rationalize and make sense of the complete insanity.
And they use women, it's similar to like when they appoint, they know like a major corporation is going to collapse and fail, so they appoint like the first female CEO in front of it so that people might be nice.
As the collapse occurs, I think this is just something that I've seen happen over and over again.
They'll put a woman in charge of a failing company so that people might be nice.
That's just my thoughts on some of that as well.
I'm the only philosopher I know who's actually published on the distinction between information, misinformation, and disinformation, and I did it.
Not quite 20 years ago.
So, you know, actually, it's a very serious issue.
I love your comments, Holly, and your literary allusions.
They just so enrich every point you make here.
Meanwhile, CDC was tracking American cell phone data to ensure the lockdown compliance.
This is outrageous!
Access to the location data allowed the CDC to perform analysis and compliance with curfews, track patterns of people visiting K-12 schools.
This is having location data of tens of millions of Americans, which the CDC paid for.
The documents dated from 2021 demonstrate the CDC used the data to monitor curfews.
Vice indicates the data has been critical for ongoing response efforts such as hourly monitoring of activity in curfew zones or detailed counts of visits to participating pharmacies for vaccine monitoring.
Even data on visits to neighborhoods, churches, and schools by the CDC!
The outlet also points out some of the tracking data was meant to specifically monitor the effectiveness of policy in the Navajo Nation.
What's interesting, it was a hotspot for the pandemic, but became a model for COVID overregulation by keeping mass curfew and social distancing rules intact.
Get this, Tim Marshman tweets, CDC bought location data tracking tens of millions from a Peter Thiel-backed spy firm.
Used cases included hourly monitoring of activity in curfew zones, activity in schools and houses of worship, and monitoring of the Navajo Nation.
I was talking with my UK colleagues who are saying the UK is similar to where we are now, because each of our countries have that independent spirit.
I can understand, but now is the time to do what you are told.
Senator Rand Paul, long a thorn in the side of Houshi and the CDC, has consistently complained pandemic directives have not been based in science and were more about submission.
You're not to question him, just do as you're told, Paul said, adding.
So with him, it's more about submission.
He's got it exactly right.
The new report on CDC tracking data to ensure compliance seems to suggest it definitely did.
In other news, we've got the FBI doing warrantless surveillance at DHS, policing online speeches, CDC tracking lockdown compliance, some articles, Wall Street Journal.
FBI conducted potentially millions of searches of American data last year, reports said.
Majorca specified DHS has created a disinformation governance board.
CDC tracked millions of phones to see if Americans followed COVID lockdowns.
This is just disgusting.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, it is.
I mean, but Americans are not, they've never been bound to be locked down.
They should never have tolerated it.
The greatest crime is what was done to the children and shutting down schools.
But no business and no church and no individual has to obey any such lockdown orders.
That's been, you know, a beta test in the slavery of the people.
Again, all of this stuff that they're doing is going to hopefully slowly trigger an awakening that massively upends this country in November.
And the lawsuit I might add, earlier we presented the lawsuit that's being filed against Jen Psaki and Biden for their manipulation of Meta and Facebook and YouTube to suppress information and suppress people sharing.
That is a violation of 18 U.S.
Code 241 and 242.
Deprivation of rights under color of law and conspiracy to commit the deprivation of rights under color of law.
They conspired to deprive people to speak the truth and to hear the truth Uh, by this, uh, high-tech social media collaboration conspiracy with Jen Psaki, Biden, and others.
So that is a, uh, a rights violation, and a rights violation is also, uh, a 42 U.S.
Code 1983 civil rights violation.
So I would hope that they would, uh, add additional charges in every You know, every American should be, you know, reporting and supporting such legal action against these forces of tyranny, Jim.
Holly, your thoughts?
Well, I remember how they were cheering and acting like it was so great and they were saving lives when they were openly violating the rights of Native people and their reservations and going in there and using all this tracking data and
I think that, as I said, I think this ties in a lot with, you know, perhaps the desire to repeal Roe v. Wade is really about making sure that they can cover their steps as far as what they did with the COVID tracking and all the real ID and everything that they're trying to push.
And it's always interesting to see how here in the United States, there really is like An actual epidemic of Native women and Native children disappearing here in the US and in Canada.
And yet, we can't find any of these women or children, these people just disappear.
And yet, when they want to, they can have all this money and funding to start tracking them for COVID and violating people's rights and going into reservations.
Wonderful comments.
violating the reservation status as well.
So just it was absolutely infuriating to me to see that real time and to see people who are cheering and acting like they were actually helping Native people, especially like I said, the article said Navajo Nation, there were other groups of people who were blowing the whistle on this while it was happening.
Wonderful comments.
Meanwhile, Ron Johnson is supposed to be a great white shark in the sea of American crazy, but actually he's one of the only sane minds out there.
This is reader-supported news, which is begging for money, suggesting, since it's such a left-wing outfit, that the Democrats aren't even confident in their own political prospects and aren't even willing to support themselves.
This is really a piece of disinformation.
A new theory leaking out of the crackpot are those who believe everything except the truth when it comes to the pandemic.
When Wednesday, a millionth American victim—a number, of course, that was all manufactured—Senator Ron Johnson—if there's a crazy idea in politics, Ron Johnson's consumed it.
He's a great white shark in the sea of American crazy gobbling whatever rancid intellectual chum floats into his path.
This is how bad it is with the Democrats.
This is just crackpot.
Not Johnson, but the author of this, a fellow named Charles Pierce.
I've even written to him to ask him to do some research on the pandemic and the facts.
Johnson was asked about a theory offered by a lawyer Todd Callender that the COVID vax were giving people AIDS.
Indeed, research has shown HIV is in the vax.
Let me challenge you there from the Wisconsin.
That's way down the road, he said.
You mean you gotta do one step at a time.
Everything you say may be true, okay, but right now the public views the vaccines as largely safe and effective.
The vaccine injuries are rare and mild.
That's a narrative.
That's what the vast majority accepts.
So until we get a larger perception with our eyes open to, whoa, These vaccine injuries are real.
Why?
You know it's got to be step by step.
You can't leap to crimes against humanity.
You can't leap to another Nuremberg trial alluding to the Nuremberg Code that says it's a violation of international law to give and force anyone to take an experimental vaccine without their informed consent.
They're attacking him, not saying he agrees with his lunacy, which is not lunacy.
He's just open to any and all speculation.
The author here is a moron.
Johnson long entertained conspiratorial and disproven theories or promoted less effective treatment, such as gargling mouthwash, ignoring IHCQ and Ivermectin.
He also convened a group of doctors and scientists who've been criticized for spreading misinformation, except they were making reliable reports.
To be clear, the Senator has never stated nor does he believe the vaccine causes HIV, but I'm telling you it's in there in the facts from other reports I have.
The Senators, of course, have claimed the vaccines are safe and effective, but Johnson has cast doubt on the public health experts and scientists educated, trained, and authorized to conduct these studies for good reason.
For good reason.
One guy is dead.
This guy is in the Senate.
The mind, she boggles.
It's Charles Paris's mind is boggling.
This is insanity.
Scott, fairly concise.
We're getting to the end.
Well, the only thing that matters is the VAERS finding, the Adverse Vaccine Injury data report.
And Tom Rents is an attorney, went to Congress in Senator Ron Johnson's hearing.
And presenting all of the military members that have been statistically followed by the military medical board and technology and it shows overwhelmingly all of the adverse effects, the injuries, the deaths, the miscarriages that this vaccine has caused, never mind all of the heart inflammation and things like that.
So that's the real truth and the only truth that matters is Everybody who gets this vaccine suffers either death or an injury, and not an improvement of their health in any way, shape, or form.
Jim?
Well, it appears that those who are the least educated, the least competent, are being elevated to positions of authority and control of information that every American needs and deserves.
Holly, your thoughts?
Well, I think we're we are going to see the next few years.
Like I said, many people have discussed what's going on with my age generation like Millennials and also people have called this like the boomer remover.
So a lot of people have talked about how we were going to deal basically with Social Security collapsing and everything like that with inflation.
And basically, a lot of people were openly saying, well, if we just reduce the population, like Bill Gates said, if we do a great job with vaccines, we can reduce the population.
We're already seeing that.
We're seeing a collapse of population, not just because of cultural decisions over the past few decades.
obviously Roe v Wade plays into that as well.
But we're seeing that with economics, Japan is having a total population collapse.
Many of these advanced nations right now are having A population collapse will be seeing that here in the United States.
It's not above our replacement level and then with all that we will see a restriction further restriction as far as supplies and goods and manufacturing all of that.
And then with the like a millennial die off and infertility as well, we're going to see a big drop in all of that.
Perhaps school school closures and all that sort of stuff as as all this is kind of been put in the works as we see already so.
Definitely.
I think as we have been talking about, obviously, for over a year now, a lot of this was about reducing the population, not making people safe, obviously.
Well, thanks to you and Scott for marvelous commentaries today.
We believe in freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, freedom of the press.
We believe the government should not be restricting access to any information, but promoting the opportunity to have it.
That the Constitution is a worthy document that every American should support, even the Supreme Court may be held responsibility for dereliction of duty if it does not continue to imply the Constitution to the life of Americans today.
And Don, once again, we salute you for your continued determination to expose a difference between truth and news.
Oh, is there a difference?
I guess there is.
And it's a big difference, wide difference.
And thank you so much for watching Truth vs. News here on Mother's Day.
And by the way, this is a great show that deserves to be shared around because truth and news is something else.
Truth is based on facts, not on opinion or ministry.
It doesn't need a ministry.
It just needs evidence.
And if you have the evidence, you have the truth.
That's simple, folks.
Thank you so much for watching.
God bless.
