Show Open:
- "We have met the enemy and they are ours:"
- How many of today’s headlines fail to point out that corrupt American leadership lies in some of our most serious problems?
- Israel has approved a ground offensive to take control of Gaza. October 7th and the war which resulted would not have occurred if Obama and then Biden had not fueled the Iranian terror machine with billions in cash. Iran funds and arms Hamas. Whose fault is it (Hamas or the United States)?
- Will there be a Trump/Putin war summit next week? As horrible as Putin is, which country is responsible for this war? Is it Ukraine; the money laundering capitol for the great satan in Washington? Is it Russia, which was given the green light by Biden for a small incursion – even though Biden and his family enriched themselves in Ukraine? Biden and the Dem-Coms funded and armed Ukraine without an exit strategy. Again, who is responsible with this war?
- The white House Doubled its bounty on Venezuelan strong-man Nicolas Maduro head (to $50 million dollars) for sponsoring terrorism and drug running into the United States. My friends, which country invited Maduro to do exactly what he did – by opening wide our southern border and permitting his terror gangs to infiltrate into the United States. Just whose fault is it? Maduro or the United States?
My friends, “we have met the enemy and they are ours:"

Monologue:
(Anita Dunne questioned by Republicans)
- The Republicans took control of the House in January of 2023 – but did nothing about the evidence of Joe Biden’s dementia.
- Republicans in the House could have and should have impeached him – but they didn’t.
- Republicans could have put the Dem-Com controlled Senate on record with regard to the cognitively impaired Biden – by impeaching him – but they didn’t.
- And now; Republicans are holding hearings on Biden mental decline while in office. What a waste of our valuable time and money!

Segment Topic:
- Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality
- What is the truth? Will we ever know?
- Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality tells the story of this technology and the celebrated men who developed it with some success, but also with failures that are never mentioned in the celebratory literature on vaccines. Vaccine advocates often proclaim that they “follow the science,” but most vaccine development has been a matter of guesses, gambles, and wild experimentation. Its key figures have been biased by religious faith, wishful thinking, ideology, and a desire for recognition and money.
- Though credit is due to some vaccines for reducing infectious disease morbidity and mortality, their contribution to public health in developed nations has been grossly exaggerated by propagandists. Dramatic improvements in nutrition and sanitation were the primary drivers of this trend. The authors do not dismiss the concept of vaccination but seek to promote a more informed and less dogmatic discussion about its risks and benefits. Critical evaluation can only make the technology safer and more effective.
- How much damage has been done to the reputation of the vaccination programs worldwide and is there any way to repair the damage?
- Bill and Hillary Clinton interfering in influenza vaccines!
- Once again, people forget how a free market economy works, and how government intrusion often has a counterproductive effect.
- Back in 1985, there were 30 pharmaceutical companies producing flu vaccines.
- But rising costs of development, testing, and liability drove that number down to just 3 companies.
- In 1994, President Clinton passed the Vaccines for Children program, which had the government become the primary purchaser of all vaccines (adult and pediatric), and artificially set prices so low that only one of the remaining three companies could produce vaccines profitably.
- Had we simply allowed the free market to set vaccine prices reflecting their high cost of development and production, many pharmaceutical companies would still be in the vaccine business today, and we wouldn't be relying on a single source. (The Gainesville Sun)
- How effective so far has HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. been with respect to correcting some of the abuses of the nation’s vaccination programs?
