Need to Know News (2 June 2023) with Chris Weinert
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer, Madison, Wisconsin, joined today by Chris Weinart, who's in Fort Myers, Florida.
Carl Herman is on a special assignment.
We're here to bring you all the news you need to know.
We begin with the Ukrainian swing counteroffensive just being kind of casually rescheduled to summer.
The spring counteroffensive of the Kyiv regime against Russian forces has become the summer one in headlines of mainstream outlets.
The phantom offensive is already ongoing in Western-controlled social media for some time, where the majority of users are fed a flow of overhyped claims, insisting the Russian armed forces are about to collapse.
Such little gaps in this story, like the loss of the not-very-strategic town of Bockwood, after failed and bloody attempts to counterattack, there are treated as unimportant details.
In an attempt to contain the reality, Western diplomats in Main Street are adopted what they think is a brilliant new strategy.
According to this inversion, the Ukrainian counteroffensive may have been already ongoing, but it's not certain.
Therefore, any active actions of pro-Kiev forces, like attacks on civilian or military targets in Russia, ...are described as Operation Aim to Shave the Battlefield.
This allows them to claim both the counteroffensive is already ongoing, but also not ongoing at the same time.
The gap between facts and reality is still too large, so the Kiev regime has switched its focus from attempting to change the situation on the battlefield to sabotage attacks and acts of terror.
This began with intensification of drone strikes and artillery shelling on Russian border regions, a failed attempt to blow up a Russian warship in the Black Sea, the raid on small villages in the Belgorod region, and especially overhyped but ineffective drone talks on Moscow.
Thus, the mainstream claims Operation to Shape the Battlefield are only connected to reality in the minds of the audience.
He has few options left to carry out effective strikes.
The main goal in Russia, therefore, is to terrorize the Russian population, damage civilian infrastructure, and gain some media hype to suck even more foreign funding into the black hole of the so-called Ukrainian fight for democracy under the banner of neo-Nazis.
These acts of terror will further fill the spiral of escalation.
Meanwhile, the globalist power behind Kyiv may believe the current situation in the Donbass-Kyrsyn and Zaporizhzhya leaves no large prospect for a successful attack on the Russians there, so the way out is to support Kyiv's attempt to expand the battlefield to what they think to be Russia's mainland.
Such moves will for sure up the ante and deal a powerful blow to the shady prospects of diplomatic settlement of the situation.
Chris, your thoughts?
Wow.
Yeah, this is something.
I remember when COVID started getting a major pushback, it was about a year anniversary from the lockdown.
About a week before that, they rolled in this thing on social media and just about anything you could look at or find had something about stand with Ukraine.
Uh, going on in the, uh, the yellow and blue and the flag and everything and Zelensky and all this stuff from out of nowhere.
So, you know, it's pretty much an operation.
It's certainly not a grassroots thing.
It's more grassrow turf.
Uh, and, you know, this is part of social engineering, I think, really, too, and marketing, fad marketing, stuff like this, uh, except it's gone to a whole new level in terms of patriotism or fanaticism or even diplomacy or lack thereof.
Uh, so this is amazing to see how this is really devolved into such a situation and what it really stemmed from and how many people really took aside harshly on this one way or the other.
It's almost as bad as the 2016 and 2020 elections and certainly the aftermath as well.
Yes.
Go ahead.
Hey, Fetz, what do you think about, you know, it's almost like these international bankers have like these subsidiary once removed friends, you know, i.e.
George Soros or even Bill Gates or some of these other guys that are involved with the financial institutions, they're involved with, you know, major media or software companies, and they're also involved with these programs that seem to be disadvantageous, to put it very loosely and to grade it very easily.
More importantly, I would say these are Very marginal as far as safety experiments on human populations and these guys are getting a pass and they're not even getting looked at for it and better yet it's being guised as you know medical help or safe and effective or things like this.
It's amazing to see how this Bond villain type situation has been pre-programmed into our entire expectations and what it's really become now.
You know, I think of George Soros and the like, you know, cooing these countries, the color revolutions, the NGOs, BLM, Antifa, many of these things.
It's amazing to see how much social engineering is going on and how few people really seem to see it for what it is.
Oh, I think you're right, Chris.
I think that's absolutely correct.
Meanwhile, satellite imagery confirmed the destruction of aircraft carrying the Storm Shadow missiles at an airfield Satellite imagery show the efficacy of Russian precision-guided strike against the military airfield in Kamianetsky.
On the morning of May 29th, local admin reported serious damage to at least five aircraft and damage to the runway.
The 7th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force, which used modernized Su-24MR aircraft, those sides were used to launch the British long-range storm shadow missiles.
As can seen from satellite images appearing on the web, after the missiles hit, a significant number of aircraft were seriously damaged.
The warehouse where expensive gifts from the UK were stored were also visible.
Here are the aircraft before.
Here are the aircraft after.
Here is another airfield before.
Here's another airfield after notice the warehouse completely taken out.
Here's another before and after.
Recall that a massive combined strike on military facilities throughout Ukraine was applied on the night of May 29.
The attack involved at least 54 Garand II strike unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as air and sea-based cruise missiles.
It's curious, for the first time in this entire period of this special operation, Ukrainian official sources confirmed the damage to a military facility by Russian missiles.
Chris.
Sorry, it took me a minute to unmute it there.
I can't believe that this war has not gone a lot hotter, a lot more global, given the escalation that's occurred.
Supposedly, what I heard the other day, there was a drone attack on the capital at Moscow.
Yes, certainly acts of war.
Many of the allegations that have gone on, the accusations, the false accusations, I should say, against Russia in the last five, 10 years have been, I say, almost even acts of war to some extent.
And at least certainly calculated failures of diplomacy.
I don't think it's an accident.
Like I said, I think this BRICS IMF schism in the financial world is going to happen soon.
And it's going on in multiple different levels.
But this is a pre-planned thing.
This is a Goldman Sachs initiative who's going to be in the middle of playing both sides against each other in this Cold War situation.
Same with BlackRock and other companies.
So make no mistake about it.
And also make no mistake about it that the Pentagon is what?
Borrowing What's it, two trillion a year now to fund this type of bullshit?
And to do what they're doing to the people in foreign countries, even domestically here, and what's going on with the whole entire political situation, justice system, everything of that nature, and even the propaganda system along with it.
And the military has been absolutely silent, if not complicit, and I'd have to say probably leaning towards complicit given, you know, the nature and the extent of this.
We're really in a situation where we're starting to see what our military was always put forth to do and what it's always been intended for, and certainly the propaganda has exhausted its credibility and the patriotism is certainly running thin, given the benefit of hindsight right now.
Yes, very good, very good.
Meanwhile, James Comer, FBI confirms existence of file allegedly linking Joe Biden to a $5 million bribery scheme.
The FBI confirmed the existence of an informant file the Bureau has refused to provide Congress, allegedly linking President Biden to a $5 million bribery scheme.
FOMER and FBI Director Christopher Wray conducted a scheduled meeting Wednesday where the Bureau Chief confirmed the existence of the file detailing an arrangement, exchange of money for policy decisions between now President Biden and a foreign national.
But Comer, who is the head of the House Oversight Committee, said the FBI refuses to provide the subpoenaed unclassified file to Congress, triggering Comer to double down on his threat to hold Wray in contempt of court.
Instead, the FBI is repeatedly sad Comer could view the doc at the FBI headquarters.
Today, FBI Director Wray confirmed the existence of the FBI 1023 form alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national, Comer said.
However, Director Wray did not commit to producing the documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight.
Tuesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy warned Wray if he failed to provide the file, he would begin the process to hold Wray in contempt of Congress.
Homer's probe into the Biden family found the Biden family business, over the course of several years, received at least $10 million for business schemes in Romania and China.
A total of nine Biden family members received payment from the family foreign business ventures, including two of Biden's grandchildren.
More proof!
Two senior congressional Republicans have confirmed, with the director of the FBI, the existence of the subpoenaed document implicating Biden in a massive bribery scheme.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer and Senator Chuck Grassley spoke over the phone with FBI Chief Christopher Wray, The conversation on Wednesday occurred after the FBI refused to provide the informant filed subpoena, which allegedly claimed Biden participated in the primary scheme with a foreign national during the latter's time as Barack Obama's vice president.
Homer and Grassley haven't made progress obtaining the unclassified record, but Ray didn't commit to handing it over.
He did allow some lawmakers to view the document as a result.
Homer has reiterated his earlier decision to prepare charges and told Ray in contempt.
While Director Wray, after a month of refusing to even acknowledge the form existed, has offered to allow us to see it in person at FBI headquarters, we have been clear anything short of reducing the doc to the House Oversight Committee is not in compliance with the subpoena.
If the FBI fails to hand it over as required by the subpoena, the House Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings.
The FBI itself issued a statement informing Ray Alford Comer and Jamie Raskin, a Democrat member of the committee, to review information responsive to the subpoena in a secure manner to accommodate the committee while protecting the confidentiality and safety of sources and investigative sensitivities.
The agency added the FD1023 form was for unverified claims by a confidential human source.
Documenting the information does not validate it, establish its credibility, or weigh it against other information verified by the FBI.
The Bureau argued exposing the record could harm investigations.
It vowed to keep working in good faith with the Health Oversight Committee.
Press.
Wow, you know, it's amazing to see how this stuff is all coming to light and even stuff that's being swept under the carpet after months and months and months of the media and the politicians just spewing lies about the entire situation that's gone on since 2020.
2020.
And even more, it goes a bit much further.
And to go off into that, you know, take up 20 minutes, lay down the list.
But I mean, if you think about all the stuff that the investigatory agencies have turned a blind eye to, and of course even covered up for, you know, this Biden thing seems to be a limited hangout.
I mean, you can put Burisma in there, you can put a bunch of other things in there that he's been involved with that would absolutely surmount the minimal amount that we're talking about here at this first one.
So I think it's kind of a limited hangout there, but I also think that if you look at how this all ties together and how it's all been covered up, the media shouts lies and lies for months and months and has to whisper the truth eventually, but most people just hear the lies and lies for months and months, you know, and the shouting.
And certainly the truth just squeaks on by.
So hopefully this will all be brought to light and to attention.
And certainly you'll see, in my opinion, how they've been using the selective restraints of legal documents like subpoenas to limit the range and scope of investigations.
To certainly pinpoint type of things so that they don't find Other things that maybe are incriminating that they would theoretically be obliged and oath to investigate.
So I think this is a way that they can legally find a way to cover up for this without holding the agents accountable.
Yeah, yeah, that's interesting.
I think, too, they're wanting to squeeze Biden out.
They want to make way for Gavin Newsom of California, who may expect to be their standard bearer, and who, of course, will win because Dominion voting machines will guarantee it.
So I see all this as playing out in a highly predictable fashion.
Meanwhile— You think Gavin Belson's going to be the next one?
Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah.
Whatever Gavin Newsom, I call him Gavin Nelson.
It's the same basic thing.
He's a complete scumbag and a scoundrel.
He's the worst of the worst, but that's what the Democrats like to promote.
They find the most vile members of their party and promote them to the very top.
Witness.
All these guys fall upward so much faster than they fall downward, don't they?
They do?
I know.
I mean, I think at this point it's foreordained that it will be newsome, gruesome as the bearer in 2024.
Meanwhile, Biden takes a huge fall on the stage at the Air Force Academy during a graduation ceremony.
I mean, a literal fall.
Breaking!
Biden takes big fall on stage just now at Air Force Academy graduation.
Here's the video.
Biden 80 starts to walk quickly off center state when he trips and stumbles to his knees and nearly ends up on all fours.
There was a black sandbag there that somehow he did not notice.
Here, I'll just play it once more for the record.
First, I'll quickly pick him up before he hobbled behind a barrier.
He seemed to trip on a black sandbag on the stage, but it was okay.
In February, Biden released a physical assessment finding he suffers from neuropathy in his feet and atrial fibrillation, among other ailments.
Probably hard to see with that mask on, too.
Say again?
It's probably hard to see with that damn mask on, too.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, for the actor playing Biden.
Yeah, absolutely.
You're right, Chris.
Yeah.
The White House has refused to disclose whether he has taken a cognitive test.
They wouldn't dare give him a cognitive test because he'd fail and it would leak out.
Washington Post's back focus group offered terrible assessment for voters about Biden's physical abilities and cognitive acuity.
Many of the swing state voters, called the 80-year-old president too old, speculated that he has dementia.
According to Yahoo News' YouGov poll, strong majorities have concern about Biden's health and mental acuity, including 3 in 4 Democrats, 50% being either very or somewhat concerned, 26% slightly concerned.
A majority of voters sampled by Quinnipiac also believe Biden is too old to serve a second term.
The tumble comes after Biden tripped and falled many times.
Here we have him tripping on the stairs of Air Force One again.
He tripped and caught himself as he boarded Air Force One in Poland, too.
Here we have Biden pulling out his bike on a Delaware ride with Jill.
Embarrassingly bad stuff.
Chris, your thoughts?
Wow.
I know it's pretty bad.
I've seen there's probably a bunch more too.
Yeah, I guess I spoke too soon.
Talking about him falling upward faster than he can fall downward.
I guess you might have proved me wrong there.
But yeah, no doubt.
It's amazing to see how many times this guy takes tumbles and I don't think he can fart and chew bubblegum at the same time.
He's having trouble.
And you know what?
The whole party seems to be, too.
Like Feinstein, Fetterperson, Biden, Pelosi.
These people all seem to have this weapons-craving dementia at best, you know?
And you can even put AOC in there, technically, too.
So, yeah.
Yes, yes, yes.
And they're so desperate to keep their slender Senate majority, they can't afford to run the risk of having replacements for Fetterman or Feinstein.
Weekend at Bernie's is what it is.
They're going to be doing Weekend at Bernie's if they have to.
Here we go.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Breaking news.
The president declaring a national emergency.
The new stay-at-home order.
We will shut you down.
Don't think you can get on a plane or a train.
This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
And we will take you to jail.
We've got to get them vaccinated.
Or we will keep you in a facility longer.
As the world was descending into synchronized tyranny, I began to ask myself, how did they get everyone to go along with this?
Obsessed with finding the answer, I began studying every moment in recorded history where masses of people acted against their own self-interest.
The only mechanism that could explain what was happening in society... Screw your freedom, you schmuck!
...was what is usually referred to as mass formation.
Here we are now with an economy in crisis, but with an incredible opportunity.
Unprecedented opportunity.
For a reset.
Your Royal Highnesses, distinguished heads of state and government, the future is built by us.
We need a great reset.
When they say, you'll be happy, What they mean is, you'll be enslaved.
Today, we have the technology to hack human beings on a massive scale.
Who masters those technologies, will be the master of the world.
Those who control the data, control the future, not just of humanity, but the future of life itself.
Every aspect of our life has been infiltrated by people that do not have our best interests at heart.
There are forces using fear and isolation to induce mass psychosis.
I don't want you to be hopeful.
Climental doom.
Fires.
I want you to panic.
Storms.
It will kill your children.
I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.
People are starting to wake up.
Across the world.
I'm seeing people come together from all walks of life, finally saying enough is enough.
We didn't come here for no reason.
We have a voice.
We're here to share it.
We have to be the solution.
We cannot rely on the media, the president, or whoever to fix these problems.
I would rather pick up cans on the side of the highway than to live out of alignment with my truth.
We're all being driven back to the dream.
As you see in the audience, Democrats, Republicans, white, black, everyone all in between.
This is the example that they do not want to see, but they have no choice.
The masses of humanity have been slapped awake.
Open your eyes.
It's time to wake up.
This is The Great Awakening.
People cannot go back into the Matrix now.
A lot of people are trying to.
They can't.
This looks like a powerful film, Chris.
You may have some impressions about it from the trailer, if you were able to follow it.
Oh yeah, definitely.
I'm picking up exactly what they're putting down and if you don't really understand that trailer and what's going on there, then you might be more victimized than you could anticipate.
So yeah, I think this is a plan they've had in place for a long time and it's manifesting itself almost through the timeline to the exact, you know, word and agenda.
So this to me is not an accidental thing.
This is something that has been planned And maybe even the Revolution of the Awakening is going to be part of it too, but man, I tell you, at what cost?
There's a lot of collateral damage that's occurred.
You know, the people that have been behind it, I think, need to be held accountable.
And these guys are really, as you see, beyond the scope of any sort of legal prosecution or any sort of law or any sort of financial restrictions, they have enough money to do whatever they want to do.
Like I said, I spoke too soon about talking about bond villains.
These are the guys right here and what they're doing are controlling not only your time, your value, your savings, your interest rates, Your wages, your prices, your inflation, your money supply.
These guys are controlling your education.
I mean, look what they're doing around the world in just the medical thing.
And then you factor in the education and the social engineering and social media and whatnot.
This is absolutely a silicon replacement of the carbon species.
And, you know, if you think about it, the carbon reduction is going to be them exterminating us unless we put a stop to this.
Yeah, good, good, good.
Yeah, it looks like it's going to be quite a powerful film.
Meanwhile... The U.S.
Department of Agriculture is asking people to register their vegetable gardens!
Why does USDA want you to add your local vegetable garden to a national database?
I think the answer is obvious.
They want to be able to destroy every source of food we have in a move that has many folks scratching their heads.
The U.S.
Department of Agriculture has renewed a push for people garden initiative, including registering vegetable gardens nationwide.
According to the USDA, the move is to foster a more diverse and resilient local food system to empower communities to address issues like nutrition and accessing climate change.
Obvious bullshit!
But those who have been following the USDA closely for years know they couldn't care less about your health and nutrition.
To register your garden, one must meet several easily obtainable standards.
School gardens, community gardens, urban farms, small-scale agricultural projects in rural, suburban, and urban areas can be recognized as a people's garden if they register on the USDA website and meet criteria including benefiting the community, working collaboratively, incorporating conservation practices, and educating the public.
These standards essentially define every community garden in the country.
Now the government, it shells out billions every year to companies whose products, like high-fructose corn syrup, are responsible for a massive epidemic of obesity across the planet.
We'll have a database of that.
We welcome gardens nationwide to join us in the People's Garden effort in all it represents, said Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
Local gardens across the country share USDA's goal of building more diversified and resilient local food systems, empowering communities to come together around expanding access to healthy food, addressing climate change, and advancing equity.
All of this is rubbish.
We'll stick at it.
We encourage existing guards and new guards to join the movement.
Growing local food benefits local communities in so many ways, and we offer technical resources to help also.
It's a great way to connect with your local USDA team members.
Again, it's important to point out, the mission statement of USDA does not involve anything to do with keeping Americans healthy and well.
Their track record over the years has done the complete opposite.
Case in point, In December of 2020, a scientific community composed of 20 academics and doctors recommended cutting the limit for adding sugars in the diet to 6% of daily carbs from 10% in the current guidelines.
The group compiled a massive trove of data presenting this request to the USDA, citing rising rates of obesity and the line between obesity and health problems like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
To be clear, you need absolutely zero percent of your diet to be comprised of sugar, but this panel seemingly knew the USDA, which hands out billions of taxpayer dollars to companies that specialize in addicting Americans to sugar, would never get behind a recommendation of zero sugar, so they offered a slight concession.
The scientific panelists for a measly 4% drop in the recommended sugar intake for foods provide 830 pages of proof showing the horrifying effect it's having on children and adults, but the USDA refused.
The new evidence is not substantial enough to support changes to quantitative recommendations for either added sugars or alcohols at random lips.
Deputy Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services at the USDA.
In December, it was already clear that excess sugar intake was connected to comorbidities like heart disease type 2, diabetes, and obesity, all of which drastically increased complication from a COVID infection.
Yet the USDA, which pretends to care about your health, refused to budge in the slightest.
Now the same organization is claiming it wants you to register your vegetable garden so it can place you on a database and put your healthy food source on a map for your health, of course.
You also get a cool sign for your front yard, too.
A handful of folks may have well-meaning intentions behind this program.
The behemoth's track record and history clearly indicate the overwhelming majority do not care about your health.
Not only do they not care about your health, most farm and food budgets go towards subsidizing products that harm your health.
So skepticism over a National Garden Database run by this organization is entirely warranted.
As the world teeters on the verge of nuclear war and economic collapse, remember that in times of war and economic downturns, food is more valuable than gold.
Chris?
Yeah, I was thinking about that when they had World War II going on.
I think everybody had to go to the post office to get their food rations.
But under that type of supply control like you're talking about, So to say it's not possible or would never happen, it has happened, and I think people forget about that.
Also in World War II, you remember, I think seven or eight governors, including Earl Warren, put the right to put on concentration camps for Japanese and German first and second generation citizens, I think, too.
So yeah, pretty bad news there.
War gets pretty nasty and it's usually taken out on the civilian populations that are supporting the war.
Quote-unquote sacrifices to win.
But yeah, this is just every war is a robber baron's war and these bankers are behind it.
They're selling to both sides and playing us into our own depopulation.
And you know, at some point in time, maybe we'll see the National Army's barrels turn on these people and maybe at least stop doing the dirty work for them.
Regardless of what your salary is dependent on, because this is getting pretty bad and it's getting pretty serious.
And I don't think it's going to reach a tipping point real soon.
And, you know, I think it's going to be interesting to see how this will be, quote unquote, departmentalized in terms of the combat or the clashing or whatever.
So, you know, it's amazing to see what's going on in the world right now and how they're already doing that in social media.
But I think it's, you know, maybe escalate even further as this goes on.
I don't have any doubt whatsoever this is to confiscate and destroy your garden because they're going to try to starve the world to death.
That's going to be very big right here in the USA.
Very big.
Can I jump in on that for a sec?
Yeah.
I was going to say in World War II as well, the Allies had started.
We lost your – you muted.
You're muted!
You're muted!
Chris, could you back up a little?
You started to say from World War II, but somebody got muted.
Go back over what you just said.
Okay, yeah.
Somebody was trying to call me, you can probably guess.
Sorry, I'm doing this on my phone.
World War II, the Allied population starved for the Pacific theater.
Vietnam probably started in World War II as far as the civilian people being taken advantage of by foreign occupied governments.
And certainly in China as well as in India, the same can be said.
Pakistan as well.
I'd say 10 million people easily starved in that region alone just to feed the Pacific theater in World War II civilians.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Henry Kissinger said, you know, if you want to control the government, control the financial supply.
If you want to control the people, control the food supply.
Bless him, his head deserves to be on a pike.
Outrageous.
Meanwhile, turn them over, they're done.
I think it means stick a fork in them, they're done.
Fox News suffered rating collapse in the first month without talker.
Fox earned devastating news as ratings for the first full month without Tucker were released.
The carnage is something to behold.
Fox saw substantial audience drive-off in primetime with Tucker out of the equation.
Ratings for Fox in May of 2023 compared to May of 2022 showed a significant 38% drop in total primetime viewers, a staggering 62% drop in primetime viewers in the 25 to 54 age demographic advertisers covered.
Tucker and the executive producer of his evening show were dismissed on April 24th.
The May ratings are even down from just last month, down 32% in every total primetime and down 44% in the 25 to 54 demographics since April.
They may as well start tonight's episode of Fox News Tonight by playing Taps.
While Vox did remain king in overall all-day ratings, their primetime viewership from April when Tucker was fired to May saw them drop from first to third.
While Adweek notes MSNBC didn't quite catch Fox last month in overall, they got closer than at any point over the last two years, falling short by just 257,000 viewers.
Falling behind MSNBC in primetime was practically unimaginable when Tucker was in the lineup, his show lifting all those around him.
Yeah, here we are.
MSNBC is the only major network to see gains year over year in May.
As a political insider reported early last month, Fox was experiencing massive exodus of primetime viewers in the coveted 25 to 54 age demographic.
They dominated that phase of viewership prior to Tucker's firing, but they've simply failed to show up for his rotating replacements on Fox News tonight.
At one point, Tucker garnered more Democrat viewers with that group than any other show on television, including even those on left-wing networks.
Recent reports indicate Tucker is preparing to go to war with his former network.
Other online information indicates he wants to host an alternative GOP primary debate and discuss GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
Such an event would likely smoke Fox in the ratings.
The latest show CNN is also suffering is in spite of them hosting a town hall with former President Trump that gave him a tremendous bump.
Outside of the highly rated CNN Live Tone Hall featuring former President Trump, CNN mostly struggled in the May's ratings, Adweek wrote.
While MSNBC was the only major network to boast gains, Adwork also noted conservative outlet Newsmax posted another month of primetime audience growth, the network clearly benefiting from Tucker's departure from Fox.
Prince. Prince. Prince. Prince. Go.
I lost the connection.
I didn't hear the story you were on.
Sorry about that.
You didn't even hear the story?
Okay.
Now Fox is going down since they got rid of Tucker and, you know, it's just been a disaster.
Anything on that just generally, Chris, works.
Well, I think it was you said it right a couple weeks ago when this first went down that his new audience is going to be multitude.
Larger than.
I think you're seeing a lot of people that really tuned in for him pretty upset that he was dismissed and the circumstances by which it happened are probably not favoring too well with his demographic.
So yeah, I think Fox is going to really suffer.
Their brand is really going to suffer.
And Tucker Carlson is going to come out the obvious winner in this one.
Yeah, I think Fox is suffering from booting Tucker as much as Bud Light has suffered from embracing Delaney.
I mean, it's just ridiculous what's going on here.
Meanwhile, Fox News audience yells, lock her up.
This was a highlight.
Some of Sean Hannity's live news audience chatted, lock her up, in response to Jeanine Perrero's comments that Hillary should have been in jail long ago.
During a tirade about the U.S., Pirro remarked to Hannity that what we call the country the Republic of America, but the reality is we're only a convenient stopping point for international travelers.
We're no longer a nation in our own right because we have no borders.
It's a landing spot with benefits.
Pero said that migrants sneak here without being asked and act as though they're entitled to the perks we offer.
She said everything we've seen lately is geared toward making America last in the destruction of the world's greatest country.
Perrault continued her rant, saying law and order have been imploded and we bow to social justice.
She said she served as a judge, a prosecutor, and a district attorney.
When they break the law, you put them behind bars.
You prevent them from doing it again.
The audience cheered when Pirro concluded her manifestations.
After the applause, she said, Hillary going around implying the only problem with Biden is that he's a little old.
She then said Hillary should have been in prison long ago.
Some in the crowd began shouting, Lock her up!
Lock her up!
Since Trump's first presidential campaign in 2016, Trump fans have used a slogan, Lock Her Up, about Hillary, which was regularly heard at live Trump events.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer have also been targets of the infamous chant, It angered the left in its audacity.
Now that the issue is on the other foot, and continual indictments of Trump on all sorts of witch-hunt charges seem likely, it's evident the left is glad to scream high but hypocritically lock him up.
Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard defends Daniel Penney's protector instincts.
Over the month, the instincts in character of the Marine veteran Daniel Penney I've been dragged through the mud.
A good number, however, are coming to his aid.
Penny was a guy who recently deceased Jordan Healy in a chokehold on a New York City subway car on May 1st.
Naturally, those that are within the city, including the corrupt Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, believe Penny's actions were inexcusable and very punishable.
They've charged him with second-degree manslaughter.
However, it was more than a few have pointed out.
Penny was acting out of the goodness of his heart and has vowed to serve and protect the people of the United States.
Palsy is defending Penny's action.
Like Penny, Gabbard is a military veteran and therefore understands the mindset that protect and serve isn't one that's just apparent when you're wearing a uniform instead.
It's part of your life and who you are.
And for those actions, Penny is now being tried as a killer?
For those like Tulsi Gabbard, it's unthinkable and not at all what he deserves.
We can only hope that the jury agrees.
Over the past month... She explained that those... I have a repetition there.
Chris, your thoughts?
Oh, no problem.
Yeah.
As far as Kelsey's concerned, I think she's absolutely right.
I think that that guy was in the right.
And I think it's really a long-term plan.
It's something they're trying to do as far as Putting the injustice on people that do step up and do the right thing at the right time.
If you look at Penn, or you look at Attorney General of Texas going under Big Pharma, people that do the right thing at the blink of an eye with hesitation, they're actually not only damning it, condemning it, and even punishing the people that do these things, and really rewarding the criminal that was in the progress of being stopped.
Even armed civilians, the same deal with, you know, gunmen and stuff like that.
So, You know, it's kind of crazy to see this bizarro world happening like that, and I don't think it's any accident.
I think they're really trying to callous the human condition of people in this nation so that they don't help people, so that they just avoid the situation rather than being put and made an example of by the justice system in such an absurdity with an inversion of justice, and certainly for political and apathy purposes.
Conditioning apathy of the public, I think, is the goal of this.
I think you're right.
I think they want to punish anyone who comes to pursue the common good, you know, comes to the defense of other citizens.
They do not want any resistance to the measures they intend to implement, and they're doing everything they can to discourage them by active Punishment of this kind.
Very bad.
Your case, Fetz, or look at Alex Jones.
You know how much money they put on people that are going after these hoaxes and calling them out in real time and providing evidence and certainly just debunking the whole situation.
They're trying to make sure nobody can do that.
Nobody can outshout that mega rumor and echo chamber that they have.
And certainly anybody that does have the courage to speak outside of that and keep speaking, they want to hammer those people so that that doesn't happen again, so that people will learn from that.
That's why they're using such overwhelming force against you guys.
Chris, I think you're absolutely right.
Meanwhile, white mud sales go down even further, 30% as the boycott grows.
Bud Light sales and revenue continue to plummet following its marketing partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Where did this phrase, transgender influencer, come from?
With volume or units of beer sold down 29.5% in the week ending May 20th.
Sales revenue declined 25.7% in the same week compared to the same period last year.
This on top of a 24.3% decline in Bud's revenue for the four weeks of May 20th and a 17.2% in the four weeks to April 29th, indicating the national boycott against a brewery is gaining steam.
When Bud Light debuted its tie-up with Mulvaney on social media on April 1st, some consumers thought it was an April Fool's prank.
The Buck Williams Consulting and Nielsen IQ data suggests the effects against a brewery worsen in May.
Steve Williams, Vice President for Analytics and Insights at Buck Williams, said the decline in Bud Light sales was a bit steeper in May than it was in April, adding the decline Does appear to be plateauing.
However, if the boycott continues through the summer months, when beer consumption rises, especially on holiday weekends, the year over figures could worsen.
Absolute magnitude could still creep up if those vicinity drops are going against bigger holiday summer weeks in the year time period, he said.
One thing is for sure, the rate of decline has not gotten any better yet.
Anheuser-Busch InBev flagship Budweiser brand is also suffering from the Mulvaney pullout, with sales revenue 10.5% lower in the four weeks of May 10th and 11.5% lower in April.
Other brands of Anheuser-Busch, the largest beer company in the world, are hurting as well.
Budweiser Red Volumes are cascading 14.9%, Michelob Ultra, their biggest selling brand in the U.S., down 6.9%.
Wall Street analysts predict the controversy over the Bud Light campaign and customer backlash will continue to hurt earnings and stock this year and into next.
J.P.
Morgan analyst Jared Dinges, who's bullish on Ashauser Bush, maintains the bad news, as Ari Bryson wrote pessimistically in a May 23rd client note.
While we recognize that data may evolve further based on the current available data, we prudently model U.S.
EBIT earning before interest and taxes to decline by 26% in fiscal 2023, with no recovery in 2024, rating the stock overweight, giving it a price tag of $76.
And as our Bush stock is down 18.4% from $16.73 on March 31st, the day before the Mulvaney campaign debuted, to $54.46 on May 30th.
from $16.73 on March 31st, the day before the Mulvaney campaign debuted, to 54.46 on May 30th.
Its market capitalization has declined by 24.19 billion or 18.3% from 132.38 billion on March 31st to 108.19 billion on May 30th.
Von Hauserbusch makes 30% of its profits in the U.S.
CEO Michael Dyrkus downplayed the Mulcaney episode on the first quarter earnings, saying, let me start by clarifying a few facts.
This was the result of one can.
It was not made for production or sale to the general public.
It was one post, not a formal campaign or advertisement.
Bud Light's campaign is easy to drink, easy to enjoy.
But Bud Light volume declined in the U.S.
over the first three weeks of April, as publicly reported would represent about 1% of our overall global volume for that period.
A.B.
and Ezra Bush has been accused of alienating its loyal customer base with a transgender partnership, ostensibly to reach younger customers.
The brewer is also offended.
Some LGBTQ plus community members said A.B.
should have defended its collaboration with Mulvaney, when strategists have characterized A.B.' 's response to the backlash as knee-jerk, blackening foresight, and aggravating the storm.
With sales flagging, and Ezra Bush is now offering $15 rebates on cases of Bud Light or Budweiser, lowering the price for 24 cans to under $5, in some locations as little as $3.49.
Beer Business Day caught the market insignificant, and it isn't even Memorial Day yet.
Meanwhile, Budweiser sales have tanked.
Competitor sales have appreciably arisen.
Molson Coors sales rose 7.6%, Krone gained 3.8%.
Among light beer, Coors Light expanded by 10.9% and Miller Light climbed 12.8%.
Chris, your thoughts?
Yeah, you know, something I want to add to that.
I think InBev owns most of those companies.
It's kind of funny how these acquisition groups put out these different brands, and they have different stocks, and they have different valuations, and they have different, you know, sales and records.
It's a way of departmentalizing these things all in the same reach.
Kind of like Coke versus Pepsi, you think of that rivalry, you know, Unilever owns them both.
Like I said, in the day and age of the acquisitions group, it pretty much makes competition a sin because these guys' competition is really amongst themselves, and they're just parallel infrastructures of their own corporate entities.
It's kind of like the standard oil and how the Sherman Antitrust made it break into 15, 20 different corporations, and it actually limited the liability by 200-fold, so it became exponentially 20 times more profitable or whatever.
So by doing this, you limit liability, you can isolate and departmentalize the production or the sales or the whole process of each company, but lend the optic of competition, where truly it's one company pumping out this whole thing.
It's the same in just about every sort of market, and it is this day and age.
And I think that a lot of people, the consumers, really don't understand how any of that works.
And I really don't myself completely either, but it is amazing to note that.
And also, the marketing campaign to try to harness that demographic of biologically divergent individuals, I don't understand where that whole thing came from.
This whole craze is being manufactured en masse.
This is a formation just like the Ukraine war, or the COVID thing, or the Vax thing, or the mask thing, or whatever.
These are corporations that are all pushing this plan.
Fascinating, Chris.
That was wonderful.

the low hanging fruit.
Instead of easy to drink, whatever, it should just be easy.
Because I think that these guys are certainly pretty loose with the company they keep. - Fascinating, Chris.
That was wonderful.

From my blog.
I just watched the following Raw deal on Jim's Bitshoot and I must say I lost any respect I had for Scorpio.
I have no idea what happened to him.
Check out the link in the description to a podcast they were discussing in the video.
It's totally disgusting, obscene, and ignorant.
Despite Scorpio saying it was cutting edge and comedy, I call BS, it was a blasphemy, hollow, and insipid.
The consistent use of the N-word served no purpose.
Sad.
Very sad.
Sickening.
Final thoughts.
Chris, yours.
You're muted.
Uh, whoops.
All right, sorry about that.
Yeah, that's really too bad that that's going on.
I don't know exactly what happened, but I kind of have heard something from you last time about that.
Scorpio, as far as I had known him, was always a decent dude.
I did some shows with him and Giuseppe, and I think we had some pretty decent material out there and really pushed the envelope at a crucial time and place.
So I don't know what's going on with him.
I really wish that I'd still speak to him and knew what he was doing or what was going on.
So I really can't comment on that, certainly not intelligently, but that's just unfortunate because the Scorpio that I know is probably better than what maybe seems to be being implied by this, you know, this and a few other responses that we've heard.
Well, I'm just telling you, he lost it.
I honestly, if you were to listen to the show, We're he and this guy, Mike Sledge and Clint Eastwood and Dorsey calls themselves.
Just the three of them are trashing me and Brian and Danny.
After we had them on my show.
This is not about my show.
This is about their show on us, Brian.
And then I brought Scorpio back on to, you know, discuss it with Brian, and he was being apologetic and saying, oh, well, or shall I say non-apologetic, saying it was like a Dean Martin roast.
It was supposed to be comedy.
But it begins, the very first word says, I'm going to F Jim Fetzer, and it goes downhill from there.
It's 200 minutes long in total, and it must have 600 profanities, obscenities.
It is the most disgusting, repulsive thing I ever heard.
It has absolutely no merit.
And when Scorpio came back on to defend it, that's...
That's when everyone just, you know, lost it over Scorpio because it was indefensible.
If he just said, We lost our shit.
We apologize.
You know, Brian and I and Danny, we were fine, but he's not offended as though it had been responsible or humorous when it was nothing of the sort.
You got to listen to the original rest to understand what we're talking about here.
It was appalling.
It was a single, single, single, most single, most repulsive broadcast I've ever heard.
I don't think anything will ever come close to it.
Wow.
Man, I'm sorry to hear that, but that's, as far as I know, Scorpio was always all right with me.
I know.
Look, I mean, this is so ironic because I used to praise Scorpio as the most thoughtful commentator I had.
I mean, it was amazing.
A turn like this?
Yeah, this is an awkward way to end today's show.
Let me just say, with regard to the Ukraine situation, There's an absolutely brilliant piece by Joaquin Agopian on my blog at jameshfenster.org you do not want to miss.
He's explaining why there's this massive Air activity beginning on the 12th of June through the 23rd, involving 25 countries, 220 aircraft.
He believes it's going to go live as an attack on Russia.
Victoria Nuland has said World War II begins on June 11.
You read and you'll see why I think she's calling it right.
Remember, she was responsible for the coup in Ukraine in 2014.
She was, in my opinion, responsible for orchestrating the Nord Stream Pipeline destruction.
And if Victoria Nuland says World War II is going to begin on June 11th, I think you're hearing the truth, so I suggest it may be June 11 you bend over and kiss your ass goodbye, because once the attack begins, Russia is going to go all out.
They are the most formidable nuclear force on the earth.
And I'm afraid it's going to bring about the extinction of a very large segment of humanity, including maybe 200 million right here in the U.S.
So there it is.
Rather sobering stuff.
Chris, you were wonderful.
I love having you on.
You're doing a great job.
Meanwhile, everyone, especially in light of these developments, spend as much time as you can with your friends, your kids, the people you love and care about.
Not only do we not know how much time—well, if Joaquin's got it right, we actually know how much time we have left, and it's less than two weeks.
Think about it.
Less than two weeks.
Don't waste a precious minute.
Thanks for being here.
Have a great weekend.
