Fox News' programming strategy is analyzed, specifically how Tucker Carlson's anti-Big Pharma stance is "sandwiched" between pro-establishment hosts like Sean Hannity. The segment references the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit and leaked text messages that allegedly show Fox hosts' private disdain for Donald Trump. The hosts argue that Fox uses Carlson to provide a "red pill safe space" to maintain audience ratings despite internal establishment leanings.
The "News Benders" clip continues, discussing how the "full bellies" (the elite) use the threat of nuclear war and financial uncertainty to control the "empty bellies." The hosts link this to modern issues like inflation and the rise of Big Pharma products like Ozempic. They argue that the establishment "threatens people emotionally" to keep them removed from reality and dependent on corporate solutions.
A comparison is made between the power of the arms industry and the pharmaceutical industry. The hosts conclude that while the military-industrial complex owns politics, Big Pharma owns the media through massive advertising budgets. They discuss the circular economy of the war in Ukraine, where old military equipment is sent abroad to justify the creation of "new crap" and the circulation of fake money.
Actor Billy Porter's public announcement of his HIV status is discussed alongside his participation in a 2019 Johnson & Johnson commercial for an exploratory HIV vaccine. The hosts criticize the use of celebrities to "shill" for pharmaceutical companies. The segment notes that clinical trials for these vaccines were conducted in Africa before moving to other regions.
The hosts speculate on why an HIV vaccine was not prioritized sooner if the technology existed. They suggest that the global market for a respiratory virus vaccine is significantly larger and more profitable than the market for an AIDS vaccine. The discussion touches on the potential for covering up adverse events during mass-scale rollouts.
The Firing of Ackerman, Northern Capitalists and Big Pharma Parallels
Amos Ackerman was abruptly fired by President Grant in 1871, likely due to his opposition to Northern capitalists and railroad subsidies rather than his focus on the KKK. Grant subsequently commuted the sentences of many Klansmen as a bid for political reconciliation. This historical parallel suggests that modern officials like Kristen Clark may prioritize the interests of "Big Pharma" or other corporate powers over the actual protection of civil rights.
Kevin describes how a bone infection at age 14 led to a prescription for Narco, which immediately triggered his addiction. He details his progression from Vicodin to Oxycodone and eventually to heroin when the street price of pills became too high. The hosts blame Purdue Pharma for creating the "wholesale" environment that fueled the opioid crisis.
Dr. Carl Hart's controversial claims that heroin use can be managed responsibly are discussed. The hosts strongly disagree, viewing it as a dangerous normalization of a destructive drug. They link the drug crisis, the "biosecurity state" of the pandemic, and the Black Lives Matter movement to the overarching influence of Big Pharma.
The discussion posits that the U.S. government operates as a "one-party system" using Fabian Socialist tactics to gradually push boundaries. They describe the current state as a "biosecurity state" controlled by pharmaceutical interests, where citizens are treated like "rats in cages" or "animals on a reserve." They argue that political parties are becoming irrelevant in the face of total economic and social control.
Advertising Hypocrisy, Booty to the Pole and Radio Monopolies
Moe highlights the hypocrisy of advertisers who refuse to promote songs about killing animals but sponsor music about murdering black people. He references the "Booty to the Pole" campaign as an example of political depravity. The hosts also discuss how white artists like Post Malone and Eminem are pushed toward mainstream pop themes, while black artists are kept in the "trap" by radio monopolies.
Adam Curry shares a story about childhood "rock fights" in Holland to illustrate the universal nature of adrenaline-seeking. Moe argues for "GBG" (Give Black Boys Guns) as a way to teach respect for firearms through hunting. The hosts then contrast the harsh prosecution of street dealers with the "scam" of Purdue Pharma, where executives paid fines instead of going to jail for the opioid epidemic.
The discussion shifts to how television shows like Black-ish promote pharmaceutical agendas, specifically regarding vaccinations. The hosts explore the historical roots of medical mistrust within the black community, referencing the Tuskegee project. They describe a polarized view of doctors, where medical professionals are either viewed with extreme suspicion or as highly exalted figures.
The discussion critiques conservative pundits like Larry Elders for using Black-on-Black crime as a deflection when discussing police shootings of Black men. The hosts highlight the case of Philando Castile, a legal gun owner killed by police, and the notable silence from the NRA on the matter. Additionally, the segment explores the lack of discussion regarding the mental health and medication use of police officers, suggesting Big Pharma's influence on media prevents such scrutiny.
An exchange between Charlemagne Tha God and Martin Shkreli on The Breakfast Club is analyzed for its references to elite financial circles. Shkreli, known for raising pharmaceutical prices and purchasing a one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album, mentions his connection to Bridger Capital. The hosts note Charlemagne's visible reaction to the mention of the hedge fund as evidence of his awareness of "Illuminati-level" power structures.
