Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe joined WMAL's "O'Connor & Company" on Wednesday morning about Facebook insiders revealing how they are censoring discussions about vaccines on the social media platform.  Facebook 'tried to censor posts about vaccine hesitancy, internal memos leaked by whistleblowers claim'  Project Veritas says it obtained leaked documents from Facebook  'Beta' version of algorithm designed to crack down on anti-vax comments  James O'Keefe, head of Project Veritas, discussed documents on Fox News  O'Keefe said he obtained documents from two whistleblowers inside Facebook  Docs show 'tier' system in which platform rates 'vaccine hesitancy' content   Whistleblowers from inside Facebook say that the social network is censoring skeptics of the COVID-19 vaccine by demoting user comments by way of an algorithm that calculates a 'vaccine hesitancy score,' Project Veritas claims. James O'Keefe, the head of Project Veritas, claimed on Fox News that two anonymous Facebook employees leaked documents showing that the company was testing a 'beta' version of the algorithm to target anti-vaxxers. The documents purport to show that the beta version was being tested on 1.5 per cent of some 3.8 billion users of Facebook and its subsidiary, Instagram, around the world. The documents purport to show that the beta version was being tested on 1.5 per cent of some 3.8 billion users of Facebook and its subsidiary, Instagram, around the world. 'Based on that VH score, we will demote or leave the comment alone depending on the content within the comment,' one of the anonymous whistleblowers told Project Veritas. -- VIDEO: Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe discusses internal documents from Facebook whistleblowers detailing the social media platform's efforts to censor COVID-19 vaccine concerns. https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1397005947105681408 VIDEO: Whistleblowers expose accuses Facebook of profiling users based on "vaccine hesitancy," limits the reach of posts from such identified users. https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1396987319169822722 Mollie @MZHemingway: This is really interesting and the comments from the multiple @Facebook Whistleblowers — Exposing how the tech giant suppresses speech regarding vaccine concerns  — are really profound. https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1396989433358991362 -- See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hyundai is getting serious about building a ‘walking car'Based on a modular platform architecture, its features include a sophisticated leg and wheel locomotion system, 360-degree directional control, and a range of sensors for remote observation. It is also intended to connect to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which can fully charge and deliver TIGER to inaccessible locations... With its legs retracted, TIGER drives like an all-wheel drive vehicle and is in its most efficient mode because it moves by rolling traction. But when the vehicle gets stuck or needs to travel over terrain that is difficult or impassable for wheels alone, it uses its walking ability to get unstuck or more easily travel over that terrain. If you're getting a strong Mars Rover vibe off this thing, that's on purpose: Hyundai thinks the technology underpinning this vehicle could make it ripe for an interplanetary mission. The walking car can traverse uneven terrain, climb a wall, step over a gap, and spread its legs to a 15-foot-wide track width — all while keeping its main cabin (and cargo) level. When not in the field, the vehicle's legs are stowed underneath and can be driven like a normal off-roading vehicle.

With the Dec. 10 execution of Brandon Bernard, the Trump administration is on track to execute more prisoners than any presidential administration in 130 years. Conservative, pro-life activist, and commentator Hannah Cox joins the show to discuss why she believes conservatives should oppose the death penalty and this spree of executions. She tells her story of going from a staunch pro-death-penalty advocate to completely changing her mind and now running an organization called Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty. Does the death penalty actually save money? Is it actually a deterrent for crime? Just how many innocent people get caught up and killed by the system? And do death penalty opponents sometimes downplay the atrocities of the crimes in question? We discuss all this and more in a special bonus episode. (Oh, and Hannah offers up a spicy food take on pickles). Follow Hannah on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HannahCox7. Follow Hannah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahdanielle_cox6/.

Many moons ago, before we even knew what a pandemic was (before LINDSEY knew what a pandemic was) Kelly and Lindsey sat down with comedy duo Melissa Graver and a very pregnant Sarah Delpizzo to discuss Embryos, Pet Peeves, and Taxes. EPT. Coincidence?   We start the episode with the game 'All About Embryos', where we learn that the egg actually picks which sperm she wants to do the deed with. Take that, sperm! We then take a deep dive into the psychology of Pet Peeves in honor of their digital short film Pet Peeve Police, which will be coming to a digital space near you in May.   We then take the ladies to Film Class and play 'Based on a True Story' where we find out that Apollo 13 and Armageddon were not the same movie! Twist! We then end the episode in Home Ec with a titillating game all about 'Taxes all Over the World'. Note: If anyone needs their taxes done this year, Melissa is your girl!    Check out Pet Peeve Police: https://www.instagram.com/petpeevepolice/ Follow Melissa: https://www.instagram.com/iamgravey/  Follow Sarah: https://www.instagram.com/sarahdelpizzo/  Check out the show’s Instagram feed: https://www.instagram.com/kellyandlindsey/   Follow Kelly: https://www.instagram.com/kelly_wallacebarnowl/   Follow Lindsey: https://www.instagram.com/lindseygentile/   Editing provided by Phil at www.micomPODre.com
