Podcast appearances and mentions of alissa heinerscheid

In an effort to reclaim their former glory as the leading beer brand in the nation, Anheuser-Busch InBev has launched an extensive advertising initiative for Bud Light during the Super Bowl festivities of this year. Plagued by a consumer revolt, Bud Light's standing plummeted, causing a significant reshuffling in beer rankings. Their strategy appears to hinge on two Bud Light commercials, one being a minute-long, the other of half the duration, and a third advertisement pushing Michelob Ultra, in a bid to turnaround declining sales. As stated by Kyle Norrington, Anheuser-Busch's Chief Commercial Officer, the company aims to carefully select their star brands for wide-reaching moments like the Super Bowl. The hope is to capitalize on the immense visibility not only on television but also across various platforms that such a grand event, along with the NFL playoffs, provide. He emphasized that Bud Light and Michelob Ultra were the brands deemed to have the most significant opportunity this year. While the exact amount the company is investing into this advertising blitz remains undisclosed, it's reasonable to assume a sizable figure given the market rate for a 30-second slot hovering near seven million dollars. Therefore, it could cost upwards of $25 million to broadcast these three commercials. This year, Bud Light has strategically aligned itself with NFL followers, once a significant customer demographic, on the back foot to improve flagging sales figures. Consulting firm Bump Williams reports a sharp 28.9 percent drop in Bud Light sales compared to the previous year. This contrasts with the steady rise of Modelo Especial that experienced a 15.1 percent surge in the early weeks of 2024, leapfrogging Bud Light to snatch the top spot. Interestingly, outside of the United States, Modelo Especial is under the InBev brand umbrella, yet due to regulatory stipulations, it is distributed by Constellation Brands within the U.S. Bud Light's downward spiral seemingly began in early 2023 when a widespread consumer backlash ensued. The brand's marketing head, Alissa Heinerscheid, cast a negative light on her core customers by labeling them as 'out of touch'. The situation went from bad to worse following an unsuccessful and ill-timed marketing campaign featuring controversial figure Dylan Mulvaney, culminating in Bud Light losing its number one spot as America's preferred beer. This year, the Bud Light team aims to reconnect with its consumers through their minute-long Super Bowl ad, which promises to wield humor as a primary tool. The announcement has stirred much anticipation about a fresh, endearing character's debut, set within their existing 'Easy to Drink, Easy to Enjoy' marketing narrative. Arguably the more nostalgic of the two ads, the 30-second clip is set to spotlight the role of the beer's distributors in bringing Bud Light to its consumers. A surprise appearance by the iconic Clydesdale horses, a beloved Budweiser symbol, is expected to imbue the commercial with a sense of legacy and tradition. The flurry of ad campaigns during the Super Bowl aims to resurrect the previously thriving sales of Bud Light. However, only time will reveal whether these commercials will successfully reignite the brand's popularity and restore its status, or merely serve as an ambitious yet ultimately ineffective strategy to stop the sales decline.

Things are so bad, the nation's once unrivaled number-one beer has imploded so badly that Dylan Mulvaney, the face of the single most disastrous marketing campaign in history, actually had to leave the country!   Highlights:  ●      "The brand's sales continue to plummet, with a reported decrease of nearly 30% compared to the previous year. Bud Light's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has experienced significant losses and decreased sales as consumers abandoned the brand following the controversial partnership with Dylan Mulvaney." ●      “America's heartland, the space of patriots and patriot culture (Christianity, trucks, guns, country music) have been very tolerant of wokeness over the years, and here's the key: as long as wokeness stays on its side of the political divide.” ●      “Wokeness crossed a very real cultural and geographical line. It tried to invade the American heartland, and patriots rose up and defended their land! It was the biggest mistake that coastal elites like Alissa Heinerscheid, the VP of Marketing, could have ever committed!”    Timestamps: [00:49] Dylan Mulvaney leaving the country [03:03] Bud Light has fallen from the list of the top 10 beers in the nation [03:40] Mike Love of the Beach Boys bashing the Bud Light on stage [05:13] Joe Rogan finally commenting on the issue with Bud Light Resources:  ●      HE'LL BE BACK!

It was supposed to be all about evolving! It's about evolving and elevating and, that means inclusivity! But of course, the joke's on them. As it turns out, the world is rejecting this woke illusion of evolution and elevation, and that marketing VP, Alissa Heinerscheid has just learned that lesson the hard way.  It's being widely reported that she and her associate have officially been fired from Anheuser-Busch for their absolute destruction of the Bud Light brand with their Dylan Mulvaney trans marketing campaign.   Highlights:  ●      “According to the report, distributors have been assured that Heinerscheid and all those responsible for the disastrous woke marketing campaign are indeed gone for good; they are not coming back.” ●      “Sales were down 28.5% for the week ending June 17 compared to the same time period last year, according to data from NielsenIQ. That's even worse than the 26.8% decline Bud Light suffered last week.” ●      “They gave away free beer during the Memorial Day weekend, but it didn't work! Nobody wants it! They don't even want it if it's literally being given away!” ●      “The bartenders that the Daily Mail interviewed all said that as far as they're concerned, there's no way Bud Light rebounds from this without acknowledging precisely how much they offended the values of their customers!”    Timestamps: [00:50] Bud Light VP officially fired [04:02] Bud Light's sponsorship of a recent pride parade in Canada and how their sales continue to tank [06:17] What Bud Light is doing in response to all of this besides firing their disastrous marketing VP Resources:  ●      Learn how to protect your life savings from inflation and an irresponsible government, with Gold and Silver.

Es geht um eine gescheiterte Werbekampagne für Bud Light (Budweiser) von Anheuser-Busch, dem US-belgischen Bierkonzern, zu dem auch Marken wie Beck's, Franziskaner oder Hasseröder gehören. Bud Light war übrigens bisher das meistverkaufte Bier in den USA. Alissa Heinerscheid, Vizepräsidentin für Marketing bei Anheuser, äußerte sich vor dem PR-Desaster kritisch über das zu männliche Image der Marke Bud Light. Sie engagierte die Transperson Dylan Mulvaney für einen Clip über 49 Sekunden und damit nahm der Wahnsinn seinen Lauf.

It's a nightmare from hell for Bud Light! If you can believe it, Bud Light just got even worse news as the boycott to end all boycott continues!   Highlights:  ●      “According to analysts at JPMorgan, Bud Light's sales have declined by around 24%, which translates into a projected overall loss in earnings of an astonishing 26%. To put the matter rather simply, a quarter of Anheuser Busch's empire has been wiped out!” ●      “Alissa Heinerscheid, she's still on just a leave of absence as I understand it. I mean, what do you say to that?

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, May 17th, 2023. Concordis Education Partners: Classical Christian education has reminded us to aim education at truth, but the trivium has been used as a formula rather than a way of training students in discernment. To teach well, you must coach. Concordis Foundation is offering their third annual BOOT CAMP – a faculty summit – July 11-13th in Moscow, Idaho. This is a three-day intensive teaching training where you learn to coach students, using the trivium, so that you can meet students at all learning levels. Learn more at concordispartners.com https://www.dailywire.com/news/tsa-rolls-out-facial-recognition-technology-test-at-several-major-airports TSA Rolls Out Facial Recognition Technology Test At Several Major Airports The Transportation Security Administration is testing the use of facial recognition technology at airports across the nation, a move that the federal agency claims will help employees more easily identify travelers. Passengers may soon find themselves in a security screening line where they are asked to place their identification into a slot and look into a camera, after which a small screen will take their picture and flash the words “photo complete,” permitting the traveler to continue through the security process without handing their identification to an employee. The technology is currently in use at 16 airports throughout the country, such as those in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City, according to a report from the Associated Press. Passengers are allowed to opt out of the pilot program conducted by the TSA, which is a branch of the Department of Homeland Security. TSA employees in the security lines with the technology, which examines whether the identification is real and whether the identification belongs to the traveler, will nevertheless be present to ensure that the system reaches correct conclusions. The test of the technology comes despite a February letter from five members of the Senate, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), who expressed concern over reports that the system could be implemented across the United States as soon as this year if deemed successful. The lawmakers contended that facial recognition technology “represents a risk to civil liberties and privacy rights.” Federal entities already leverage facial recognition technology in various capacities despite the privacy and security concerns: a report published last year by the Government Accountability Office found that 18 out of 24 agencies reported using facial recognition systems in fiscal year 2020, largely for computer access and law enforcement activities, while 14 out of 42 agencies that employ law enforcement officers reported using the technology in criminal investigations. Americans broadly support the “widespread use of facial recognition technology” by police officers who utilize the systems for law enforcement purposes, according to a survey from Pew Research Center, in which 27% of respondents said the policy was a “bad idea” and 46% said the policy was a “good idea.” Other state and local governments have indeed banned biometric recognition technology. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed suit last year against Google and Meta for breaches of state laws which prohibit technology firms from using data such as iris scans, fingerprints, voiceprints, or records of hand and face geometry for commercial purposes without permission. https://www.theepochtimes.com/anheuser-busch-announces-changes-company-amid-bud-light-boycott_5266255.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Anheuser-Busch Makes Changes to Company Amid Bud Light Boycott Anheuser-Busch revealed that it is making attempts to change its marketing structure in the midst of a backlash after Bud Light produced a can featuring a transgender activist’s face for a social media promotion. While the firm did not make mention of the controversy and boycott, a spokesperson for the brewing giant told Fox2Now in St. Louis that it held a meeting in the city and that “we have communicated some next steps with our internal teams and wholesaler partners.” “First, we made it clear that the safety and welfare of our employees and our partners is our top priority,” the company spokesperson said before adding that a new executive was tapped to head a marketing division. “Todd Allen was appointed Vice President of Bud Light added the spokesperson. “Third, we made some adjustments to streamline the structure of our marketing function to reduce layers so that our most senior marketers are more closely connected to every aspect of our brands activities. These steps will help us maintain focus on the things we do best: brewing great beer for all consumers, while always making a positive impact in our communities and on our country.” For the past month and a half, Bud Light’s sales have taken a nosedive after transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney posted a video with the namesake can on social media, writing “#budlightpartner” in the caption. That led many to believe the light beer was officially partnering with Mulvaney and would launch a campaign with the activist, who is a biological male. Anheuser-Busch executive Brendan Whitworth said in an April 14 news release that the beverage firm had had no intention of sparking division or wading into a political debate. However, Whitworth made no mention of Mulvaney or the backlash. Weeks later, Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Michel Doukeris told investors in a call that there was no partnership with Mulvaney and that only “one can” was produced with Mulvaney’s face. In a subsequent Financial Times interview, Doukeris claimed that the slumping Bud Light sales were sparked by social media-driven “misinformation.” Continuing, the CEO said that people believed it was a campaign. “It was not: it was one post. It was not an advertisement,” he remarked, contradicting the #budlightpartner hashtag that Mulvaney had written. Sales of the product dropped 26 percent year-over-year in the week ending April 22, according to Bump Williams Consulting based on Nielsen IQ data. Meanwhile, sales of rival beers Coors Light and Miller Light both saw their sales rise by about 10 percent each, according to the data. In the midst of the backlash, two Bud Light executives—Alissa Heinerscheid and Daniel Blake—took a leave of absence, the company said. “Given the circumstances, Alissa has decided to take a leave of absence which we support. Daniel has also decided to take a leave of absence,” the company said last month. https://thepostmillennial.com/seattle-to-pay-out-2-3-million-to-whistleblowers-who-revealed-mayor-engaged-in-chaz-cover-up-by-deleting-texts?utm_campaign=64487 Seattle to pay out $2.3 MILLION to whistleblowers who revealed mayor engaged in CHAZ cover-up by deleting texts The city of Seattle will be forced to pay $2.3 million to settle a lawsuit brought by city employees who were mistreated after they helped reveal that thousands of then-Mayor Jenny Durkan’s text messages had been deleted during the violent riots that rocked the city and the deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in the summer of 2020. A whistleblower complaint by the employees helped to reveal that the texts of Durkan, former Police Chief Carmen Best, Fire Chief Harold Scoggins, and other top officials from the summer of 2020 were intentionally deleted. Though the King County Superior Court case was resolved last month, the terms of Seattle’s settlement with Stacy Irwin and Kimberly Ferreiro weren’t finalized until this week and the details were released to The Seattle Times through a public disclosure request on Friday. The $2.3 million payout is in addition to over $770,000, as of April, spent by the city on attorneys to defend the case, the outlet reported. According to the suit, Irwin and Ferreiro claimed that they resigned as public-records officers in Durkan’s office due to hostile conditions and retaliation. The pair claimed they were “subjected to scorn, ridicule, abuse, and hostility … and the demand to perform illegal acts.” The pair sounded the alarm in 2021 when they complained to the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission that the mayor’s office was mishandling records requests. An investigation by the SEEC determined that the mayor’s legal counsel, Michelle Chen, had violated the state Public Records Act by using narrow interpretations of certain requests to exclude Durkan’s missing texts and diverged from best practices by not informing requesters the texts were missing. Under state law, texts and other communications about public businesses by local elected officials must be kept for at least two years and anyone who willfully destroys a public record that’s supposed to be preserved is guilty of a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. The settlement agreement includes $25,000 in lost wages each to Irwin and Ferreiro, while the remainder of the $2.3 million is for general damages and attorneys’ fees. As part of the settlement, the plaintiffs are required to drop the case, destroy city documents in their possession, and never pursue jobs in the city again. Additionally, both parties are barred from talking publicly about the settlement amount. Irwin told the Times that records disappeared and yet, “There’s been no accountability. These officials basically got away with it and the taxpayers are paying.” Ferreiro said, “It’s still a loss for the citizens of Seattle,” because some questions about the actions of city officials “will never be answered.” In August 2022, then-King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg requested that Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall investigate the city officials’ deleted texts, but Cole-Tindall’s office has yet to announce the results. Durkan’s office previously claimed that an “unknown technology issue” caused the texts to go missing but a city-commissioned forensic report found that Durkan’s phone was changed in July 2020 to delete texts automatically after 30 days as well as texts stored in the cloud. Durkan also previously claimed that she dropped her phone in a tide pool on the July 4 weekend of that year. A subsequent forensic report commissioned by business owners and residents suing the city over the deadly autonomous zone revealed that Durkan texts were manually deleted. In February, the city settled that lawsuit for $3.65 million, including $600,000 in penalties for the deleted texts. The settlement came swiftly after a judge sanctioned the city for destroying evidence and noted that Durkan’s excuses “strained credibility.” Over 27,000 texts were deleted from Best’s phone and the most recent forensic reports show that phones used by Scoggins and others were reset in October 2020. In 2022, Seattle paid nearly $200,000 and pledged to improve its public records processes to settle a lawsuit brought by The Seattle Times that alleged the city had mishandled requests from reporters who asked for the messages between city officials. In February, the owner of a Korean restaurant filed a federal lawsuit against the city for the loss of business and expenses incurred during the notorious autonomous zone. Litigation against the city as a result of the zone has already cost Seattle over $11 million. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/bipartisan-bill-pentagon-mexican-drug-cartels-pushing-fentanyl Bipartisan bill would empower Pentagon to take down Mexican drug cartels pushing fentanyl Democrats and Republicans from the House and Senate will debut legislation that would declare fentanyl a national security threat and allow the Pentagon to take new action targeting Mexican drug cartels. Senate Armed Services Committee members Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner Tuesday morning their forthcoming bipartisan, bicameral bill to use their oversight authority of the Department of Defense to force the federal government to take stronger actions against Mexican transnational criminal organizations. "The amount of lives lost in Iowa and across the country due to this deadly drug has far surpassed the federal government’s response, and we must scale immediately to combat this national security threat," Ernst said in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner. "This bipartisan work will engage Mexico as an active partner to counter fentanyl trafficking and put the Pentagon’s tools to use to save American lives.” The Disrupt Fentanyl Trafficking Act would require the Pentagon to develop a fentanyl-specific counterdrug strategy, including how to work directly with the Mexican military and to increase security operations with Mexico. Fentanyl is largely moved into the U.S. from Mexico, and the ingredients to make the powerful drug originate in China and are then shipped to producers in Mexico. Ernst and Kaine maintained that enlisting the Mexican government as an equal partner in the war on fentanyl is critical, given the southern neighbor has failed to get a hold of the problem over the past five years. Between 2017 and 2021, fentanyl seizures at the U.S. border increased by 950% — most of which occurred under Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Fentanyl has become the leading cause of death in U.S. adults between 18 and 45. President Joe Biden, in his State of the Union address earlier this year, vowed to do more to tackle the epidemic. Now before we end today, it’s time for a new segment I like to call the rundown: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/15/microsoft-activision-deal-eu-approves-takeover-of-call-of-duty-maker.html European Union regulators on Monday approved Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of gaming firm Activision Blizzard, subject to remedies offered by the U.S. tech giant. The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said that Microsoft offered remedies in the nascent area of cloud gaming that have staved off antitrust concerns. These remedies centered on allowing users to stream Activision games they purchase on any cloud streaming platform. Europe’s green light is a huge win for Microsoft, after the U.K.’s top competition authority last month blocked the deal. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/05/15/china-sentences-78-year-old-us-citizen-life-prison-spying-charges.html China sentenced a 78-year-old United States citizen to life in prison Monday on spying charges, in a case that could exacerbate the deterioration in ties between Beijing and Washington over recent years. Details of the charges against John Shing-Wan Leung, who also holds permanent residency in Hong Kong, have not been publicly released. Such investigations and trials are held behind closed doors and little information is generally released other than vague accusations of infiltration, gathering secrets and threatening state security. https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2023/05/15/81-year-old-martha-stewart-poses-for-sports-illustrated-swimsuit/ Martha Stewart, who is 81-years-old, posed for the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, making her the oldest cover model in SI swimsuit issue history.

After an Instagram Live video circulated online that showed Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant holding what appeared to be a gun in a car, the All-Star guard was suspended by Memphis from all team activities. But that's not the only suspension Morant could be facing. The franchise centerpiece could be facing a "significant suspension" from the league, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. The video in question was from an Instagram Live on Saturday, and it shows Morant in a car with friends and for a brief second as the camera pans to him it appears that he is holding a gun. After the video made the rounds on social media, the Grizzlies suspended their star guard. The league then announced it was launching an investigation into the situation.

These steps will help us maintain focus on the things we do best: brewing great beer for all consumers, while always making a positive impact in our communities and on our country.” For the past month and a half, Bud Light’s sales have taken a nosedive after transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney posted a video with the namesake can on social media, writing “#budlightpartner” in the caption. That led many to believe the light beer was officially partnering with Mulvaney and would launch a campaign with the activist, who is a biological male. Anheuser-Busch executive Brendan Whitworth said in an April 14 news release that the beverage firm had had no intention of sparking division or wading into a political debate. However, Whitworth made no mention of Mulvaney or the backlash. Weeks later, Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Michel Doukeris told investors in a call that there was no partnership with Mulvaney and that only “one can” was produced with Mulvaney’s face. In a subsequent Financial Times interview, Doukeris claimed that the slumping Bud Light sales were sparked by social media-driven “misinformation.” Continuing, the CEO said that people believed it was a campaign. “It was not: it was one post. It was not an advertisement,” he remarked, contradicting the #budlightpartner hashtag that Mulvaney had written. Sales of the product dropped 26 percent year-over-year in the week ending April 22, according to Bump Williams Consulting based on Nielsen IQ data. Meanwhile, sales of rival beers Coors Light and Miller Light both saw their sales rise by about 10 percent each, according to the data. In the midst of the backlash, two Bud Light executives—Alissa Heinerscheid and Daniel Blake—took a leave of absence, the company said. “Given the circumstances, Alissa has decided to take a leave of absence which we support. Daniel has also decided to take a leave of absence,” the company said last month. https://thepostmillennial.com/seattle-to-pay-out-2-3-million-to-whistleblowers-who-revealed-mayor-engaged-in-chaz-cover-up-by-deleting-texts?utm_campaign=64487 Seattle to pay out $2.3 MILLION to whistleblowers who revealed mayor engaged in CHAZ cover-up by deleting texts The city of Seattle will be forced to pay $2.3 million to settle a lawsuit brought by city employees who were mistreated after they helped reveal that thousands of then-Mayor Jenny Durkan’s text messages had been deleted during the violent riots that rocked the city and the deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in the summer of 2020. A whistleblower complaint by the employees helped to reveal that the texts of Durkan, former Police Chief Carmen Best, Fire Chief Harold Scoggins, and other top officials from the summer of 2020 were intentionally deleted. Though the King County Superior Court case was resolved last month, the terms of Seattle’s settlement with Stacy Irwin and Kimberly Ferreiro weren’t finalized until this week and the details were released to The Seattle Times through a public disclosure request on Friday. The $2.3 million payout is in addition to over $770,000, as of April, spent by the city on attorneys to defend the case, the outlet reported. According to the suit, Irwin and Ferreiro claimed that they resigned as public-records officers in Durkan’s office due to hostile conditions and retaliation. The pair claimed they were “subjected to scorn, ridicule, abuse, and hostility … and the demand to perform illegal acts.” The pair sounded the alarm in 2021 when they complained to the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission that the mayor’s office was mishandling records requests. An investigation by the SEEC determined that the mayor’s legal counsel, Michelle Chen, had violated the state Public Records Act by using narrow interpretations of certain requests to exclude Durkan’s missing texts and diverged from best practices by not informing requesters the texts were missing. Under state law, texts and other communications about public businesses by local elected officials must be kept for at least two years and anyone who willfully destroys a public record that’s supposed to be preserved is guilty of a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. The settlement agreement includes $25,000 in lost wages each to Irwin and Ferreiro, while the remainder of the $2.3 million is for general damages and attorneys’ fees. As part of the settlement, the plaintiffs are required to drop the case, destroy city documents in their possession, and never pursue jobs in the city again. Additionally, both parties are barred from talking publicly about the settlement amount. Irwin told the Times that records disappeared and yet, “There’s been no accountability. These officials basically got away with it and the taxpayers are paying.” Ferreiro said, “It’s still a loss for the citizens of Seattle,” because some questions about the actions of city officials “will never be answered.” In August 2022, then-King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg requested that Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall investigate the city officials’ deleted texts, but Cole-Tindall’s office has yet to announce the results. Durkan’s office previously claimed that an “unknown technology issue” caused the texts to go missing but a city-commissioned forensic report found that Durkan’s phone was changed in July 2020 to delete texts automatically after 30 days as well as texts stored in the cloud. Durkan also previously claimed that she dropped her phone in a tide pool on the July 4 weekend of that year. A subsequent forensic report commissioned by business owners and residents suing the city over the deadly autonomous zone revealed that Durkan texts were manually deleted. In February, the city settled that lawsuit for $3.65 million, including $600,000 in penalties for the deleted texts. The settlement came swiftly after a judge sanctioned the city for destroying evidence and noted that Durkan’s excuses “strained credibility.” Over 27,000 texts were deleted from Best’s phone and the most recent forensic reports show that phones used by Scoggins and others were reset in October 2020. In 2022, Seattle paid nearly $200,000 and pledged to improve its public records processes to settle a lawsuit brought by The Seattle Times that alleged the city had mishandled requests from reporters who asked for the messages between city officials. In February, the owner of a Korean restaurant filed a federal lawsuit against the city for the loss of business and expenses incurred during the notorious autonomous zone. Litigation against the city as a result of the zone has already cost Seattle over $11 million. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/bipartisan-bill-pentagon-mexican-drug-cartels-pushing-fentanyl Bipartisan bill would empower Pentagon to take down Mexican drug cartels pushing fentanyl Democrats and Republicans from the House and Senate will debut legislation that would declare fentanyl a national security threat and allow the Pentagon to take new action targeting Mexican drug cartels. Senate Armed Services Committee members Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner Tuesday morning their forthcoming bipartisan, bicameral bill to use their oversight authority of the Department of Defense to force the federal government to take stronger actions against Mexican transnational criminal organizations. "The amount of lives lost in Iowa and across the country due to this deadly drug has far surpassed the federal government’s response, and we must scale immediately to combat this national security threat," Ernst said in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner. "This bipartisan work will engage Mexico as an active partner to counter fentanyl trafficking and put the Pentagon’s tools to use to save American lives.” The Disrupt Fentanyl Trafficking Act would require the Pentagon to develop a fentanyl-specific counterdrug strategy, including how to work directly with the Mexican military and to increase security operations with Mexico. Fentanyl is largely moved into the U.S. from Mexico, and the ingredients to make the powerful drug originate in China and are then shipped to producers in Mexico. Ernst and Kaine maintained that enlisting the Mexican government as an equal partner in the war on fentanyl is critical, given the southern neighbor has failed to get a hold of the problem over the past five years. Between 2017 and 2021, fentanyl seizures at the U.S. border increased by 950% — most of which occurred under Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Fentanyl has become the leading cause of death in U.S. adults between 18 and 45. President Joe Biden, in his State of the Union address earlier this year, vowed to do more to tackle the epidemic. Now before we end today, it’s time for a new segment I like to call the rundown: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/15/microsoft-activision-deal-eu-approves-takeover-of-call-of-duty-maker.html European Union regulators on Monday approved Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of gaming firm Activision Blizzard, subject to remedies offered by the U.S. tech giant. The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said that Microsoft offered remedies in the nascent area of cloud gaming that have staved off antitrust concerns. These remedies centered on allowing users to stream Activision games they purchase on any cloud streaming platform. Europe’s green light is a huge win for Microsoft, after the U.K.’s top competition authority last month blocked the deal. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/05/15/china-sentences-78-year-old-us-citizen-life-prison-spying-charges.html China sentenced a 78-year-old United States citizen to life in prison Monday on spying charges, in a case that could exacerbate the deterioration in ties between Beijing and Washington over recent years. Details of the charges against John Shing-Wan Leung, who also holds permanent residency in Hong Kong, have not been publicly released. Such investigations and trials are held behind closed doors and little information is generally released other than vague accusations of infiltration, gathering secrets and threatening state security. https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2023/05/15/81-year-old-martha-stewart-poses-for-sports-illustrated-swimsuit/ Martha Stewart, who is 81-years-old, posed for the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, making her the oldest cover model in SI swimsuit issue history.

After an Instagram Live video circulated online that showed Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant holding what appeared to be a gun in a car, the All-Star guard was suspended by Memphis from all team activities. But that's not the only suspension Morant could be facing. The franchise centerpiece could be facing a "significant suspension" from the league, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. The video in question was from an Instagram Live on Saturday, and it shows Morant in a car with friends and for a brief second as the camera pans to him it appears that he is holding a gun. After the video made the rounds on social media, the Grizzlies suspended their star guard. The league then announced it was launching an investigation into the situation.

In the wake of the Bud Light transgender partnership, consumers have reacted unfavorably, hurting the company's bottom line and reputation. Budweiser stock tanked, losing around $6 billion in market cap. The company also garnered high-profile criticism and lost brand partnerships. Anheuser Busch responded by releasing a statement that failed to impress their alienated consumers. Then Bud Light put Vice President of marketing Alissa Heinerscheid and Vice President of Mainstream Brands Daniel Blake on a leave of absence. Heinerscheid and Blake were hired because of their pedigree and experience. They have credentials, but they clearly lack common sense. This is the result of minds infected with woke ideology. Regardless of someone's education, if their mind is influenced by warped culture, they will forgo logic and embrace damaging progressive ideology. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Dylan Mulvaney is a trans woman who isn't campaigning to be the face of beer, she's just trying to do her thing and live her life.  But Bud Light thought working with Dylan would be a perfect way to show solidarity to the queer community (and market themselves to GenZ beer drinkers) and so they gave her a ceremonial case of beer with her face on 24 cans. Dylan posted a couple of lovely videos talking about how honored and excited she was and graciously thanked Bud Light. And some people lost their minds. They bought steamrollers and crushed cases of bud light.  They brought out their guns and shot cases of bud light.  They vowed to never drink bud light again. The markets got nervous, bud light beer stock dipped, and then a quasi-apology floated off the keyboard of the CEO at Anheuser Busch. The woman behind the marketing campaign, Alissa Heinerscheid, has been put on some kind of administrative leave. All this over 24 tin cans that dared to display the face of a person who has never once shot a defenseless beer can.

This week we look to a mix of subjects, all based around branding and marketing masterpieces or fails. First up, Bud Light's VP of Marketing, Alissa Heinerscheid, has taken a leave of absence after the brand was criticised and boycotted by right-wing transphobic influential personalities following a partnership with transgender TikTok star, Dylan Mulvaney. Conversation naturally leans to how other large mass market brands have dealt with similar situations - only far better. Forgotten by Emma (all for good reason) but conveniently remembered by Maurice. Rapper Latto denies photoshopping people into her Coachella crowd to appear more popular. Though a quick pinch at the screen shows she has, we ask was there anything else she could have said? Did she make the right decision in doing this in the first place - is she in fact any different to anyone else on social media? Starving artists aren't willing to give up on luxurious, health-foods from Erewhon. The Cut shared an interesting feature article this week on an increasing LA phenomenon they call “Erewhon addicts”. We discuss how the consumer mix is quickly becoming blurred and how this can and does interpret itself into our own lives, too. LVMH HQ in Paris was stormed by protestors after the legal retirement age was extended by 2 years. Demonstrations have been going on for weeks in reaction to the new pension reform - but have now turned to the luxury conglomerate as the company disclosed record high share prices. Of course LVMH aren't to blame for government decisions such as pension age, but we suggest rage against the luxury industry taking the cream from the crop (so to speak) will always be something berated in times of social struggle.

Host Matt Dunn back in the saddle. Our review of the Bud Light marketing controversy. We learn that Alissa Heinerscheid, VP of Marketing for Bud Light, has now been placed on leave by Anheuser-Busch. So what happened? Who exactly is out of touch? Studying the language of elite contempt for the middle classes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tucker Carlson has left Fox News, and people are left wondering why? Rumors started flying shortly after the bombshell statement that this must have been a decision attached to Fox's recent $788 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, but former Fox producer Kyle Becker of Becker News stated on Twitter earlier today that he received confirmation this was NOT in any way related to Dominion but to Tucker exposing the truth about January 6. In leftist media, Don Lemon has left CNN. Lemon announced on Twitter that he was shown the door this morning. Ray Epps, a Marine veteran whose actions on January 6 led to claims that he was an FBI infiltrator, spoke out on Sunday for the first time, telling "60 Minutes" the idea of him being an FBI informant was "a lie." The brains behind the Dylan Mulvaney-Bud Light collab are out of their jobs. Alissa Heinerscheid and her boss, Daniel Blake, are gone after the company took a huge hit because of the horrible paid partnership with the transgender activist.   Today's Sponsors: Freedom Project Academy was built on Judeo-Christian values and classical curriculum.

The woman behind the Dylan Mulvaney campaign, Alissa Heinerscheid, is on a "leave of absence" from her position at beer giant Bud Light. The question is, will she return? Or will this "leave of absence" be permanent? Here's the catch, however. Heinerscheid's leave is being overshadowed by Don Lemon's leave from CNN and Tucker's leave from Fox!

Bud Light has announced that Alissa Heinerscheid, the VP of Marketing who is responsible for the beer's partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, has taken a ‘leave of absence'. But I think that's just a sanitized way of saying she's been booted out of the company.

Taylor Swift fans made their way to Houston in droves over the weekend but neither Austin nor Thomas attended the sold-out shows. The duo did, however, breakdown Swift's marketing and business acumen – and how artificial intelligence is impacting the music industry.Then, the podcast focuses on the $787.5 million Fox Corp. settlement with Dominion, media ethics, and why it's paramount for communicators to stay informed through a variety of news outlets.The show closes by discussing Bud Light marketing VP, Alissa Heinerscheid, who took a leave of absence on Friday, and MillerKnoll CEO Andi Owen who faced backlash for telling employees to “leave pity city” when asked whether they'd lose their annual bonuses.Music Credit: Smoke (with Lostboycrow) – FeatherFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA 

In a major media shake-up, Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. The biggest name in the news is now a free agent. Where will he end up? Is this at all related to the recent Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit? Many questions still remain around the situation. In a Heritage Foundation speech Friday, Carlson talked about facing his "Paul" moment. Is this that moment? It is truly a monumental day in the news media landscape. CNN announced it was parting ways with Don Lemon. The fiery anchor tweeted out a parting shot at his former employer, but CNN returned fire. Anheuser-Busch's marketing vice president for Bud Light, Alissa Heinerscheid, has taken a leave of absence and has been replaced by Todd Allen, the global marketing VP for Budweiser. Additionally, Daniel Blake, who is in charge of marketing for Anheuser-Busch's mainstream brands, was also placed on leave late last week. The fallout from the Dylan Mulvaney debacle continues as the company's stock has taken a major hit. "60 Minutes" released its interview with Ray Epps, and it raises more questions than it answers. Why hasn't he been arrested, and why is the Left defending him? A trans "woman" released a TikTok video, making some disturbing threats against "transphobes."

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, April 11th, 2023. Let’s get straight to the news. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/10/us/louisville-kentucky-shooting.html 5 Dead and 8 Injured in Shooting in Louisville, Ky., Police Say At least five people were killed and eight others were injured in a shooting at a bank in downtown Louisville, Ky., on Monday morning, the police said. The suspected gunman died at the scene. Paul Humphrey, the deputy chief of the Louisville Metro Police Department, said that the police received calls around 8:30 a.m. about a shooting at Old National Bank and when they arrived on the scene, “they encountered the suspect almost immediately, still firing gunshots.” Chief Humphrey said that the gunman, whose name was not immediately released, was confirmed dead at the scene. “We do not know exactly the circumstances of his death at this time,” he said. It was not immediately clear if the gunman was included among the five dead. The police did not give a motive for the shooting, but they said that the gunman had a connection to the bank and may have been a current or former employee. “We believe this is a lone gunman involved in this that did have a connection to the bank,” Chief Humphrey said at a news conference. Five people were killed inside the bank, the deputy chief said, and at least eight people, including a police officer, were taken to a nearby hospital. He said that two people were in critical condition, including a police officer who was in surgery on Monday morning. “There is no active danger known to the public at this time,” Chief Humphrey said. The bank is across the street from Louisville Slugger Field, a minor-league baseball stadium where the Louisville Bats play. The area includes many hotels and apartment complexes. The University of Louisville Hospital received nine patients, including two police officers, from the shooting, a spokeswoman, Heather Fountaine, said in an email. She said at least three of the patients had been discharged by early Monday afternoon. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear spoke on the tragedy. Kentucky Gov. Beshear: 'I have a very close friend who didn't make it today'- Play Video The Police Department was still investigating the shooting at the bank when one man was fatally shot and another person was injured in a shooting later on Monday morning outside Jefferson Community and Technical College, less than two miles from the bank. It was not immediately clear what led to that shooting, but the police said that the two shootings were not connected. The college’s technical campus was still on lockdown midday Monday, and the school closed all of its campuses and canceled classes “out of reverence for those involved in shootings that have occurred today,” it said. https://www.foxnews.com/world/taiwan-warns-chinese-misstep-could-lead-uncontrollable-world-war-outbreak Taiwan warns Chinese misstep could lead to 'uncontrollable' world war outbreak Taiwan is sounding alarms over Chinese military drills that it says could mistakenly spark an "uncontrollable war" that would draw in countries from around the world. "The Chinese military exercises this couple of days have been very serious," Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu told Fox News Sunday. "If you look at the sorties of the Chinese air force, together with the ships, they're coming very close to Taiwan. And any accident might spark an uncontrollable war in between Taiwan and China. And if other countries are trying to intervene, it might be the start of a war of great scale." The comments come as large scale Chinese military drills entered their third day Monday, with the Chinese military declaring that it is "ready to fight" if Taiwan were to attempt to declare its independence from the mainland. "The theater’s troops are ready to fight at all times and can fight at any time to resolutely smash any form of ‘Taiwan independence’ and foreign interference attempts," the military said Monday, according to The Associated Press. The drills China has run played out similarly to those the country conducted in August after Taiwan received a visit from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., this time coming on the heels of a meeting between Taiwanese officials and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Like the previous incident in August, multiple warships and planes have reportedly crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which for decades was understood by both sides as a boundary that military forces should not cross for fear of escalating to war. But China has disregarded the boundary in more recent military drills, insisting the line is "imaginary" in nature. Wu warned that the recent drills have shown that the Chinese threat to the independently governed island have continued to increase, arguing that it will be crucial for the U.S. to continue to show support for Taiwan as a way to deter aggression from the mainland. https://www.theblaze.com/news/social-media-federal-agency-hiring Social media and big tech companies have hired hundreds from federal agencies, including CIA and FBI Tech companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and Twitter hired nearly 250 employees from federal law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the CIA, according to an investigation by the Daily Caller. Silicon Valley and tech companies have recruited 248 employees from the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Homeland Security, DOJ, and FBI, according to the report. Several of the employees fill top roles at the companies after having held positions in government agencies for more than two decades in many cases. Much of the hiring came between 2017 and 2022. Google alone hired 130 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, and FBI employees. Meta hired 47. Even Chinese-owned TikTok has employed 25 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, or FBI employees. The report states that Twitter directly recruited several employees of the FBI who had worked for the agency for over 20 years. An “embedded security manager" worked for Twitter for 10 months after working 22 years in the FBI, but he now works for Chevron. A “senior security manager" for Twitter also had a 22-year career with the FBI. Twitter's director of information security for the insider threat program was an FBI employee of 23 years. Additionally, the tech company's corporate security manager and crisis manager had 25 and 23 years respectively of experience at the federal agency. Other job titles at Twitter with FBI backgrounds include “senior director,” “security specialist,” “director of corporate security/ risk,” and “director of corporate resilience.” Google, Meta, TikTok, and the former FBI employees mentioned in the report either did not respond to inquiries from the Daily Caller or declined to comment. Twitter reportedly responded with a poo emoji, which is standard practice for the company. Twitter CEO Elon Musk is fighting battles on many fronts recently, with varying degrees of success. Musk is battling media credibility claims after labeling National Public Radio as "state-affiliated media," before eventually adjusting the label to "government funded media," the same annotation given to outlet BBC. At the same time, Musk temporarily changed the Twitter logo on the website to the "doge," a widely used cartoon image of the dog breed Shiba Inu. As well, in late March 2023, Musk and 1,000 others from the tech industry urged a pause in the development of artificial intelligence due to "profound risks to society and humanity." Speaking of social media & marketing… https://dailycaller.com/2023/04/10/viral-video-shows-bud-light-exec-trashing-brands-fratty-and-out-of-touch-marketing/ Viral Video Shows Bud Light Exec Trashing Brand’s ‘Fratty And Out-Of-Touch’ Marketing Recently resurfaced video shows Alissa Heinerscheid, the vice president of marketing at Bud Light, trashing the beer company’s customer base. The video made the rounds after Bud Light partnered with Dylan Mulvaney, sending the transgender TikTok star a beer can with his face on it. Another Bud Light can features a rainbow and the phrase “celebrate everyone’s identity,” with various pronouns printed on the can. Dylan has posted several videos on social media advertising the beer. The advertising campaign sparked massive backlash from the Bud Light’s customers. https://twitter.com/i/status/1645089521980280832 - Play Video Thanks Bud Light… nothing makes me feel more seen than seeing a man pretending to be a woman on your beer cans. The video has been shared by several popular Twitter accounts, and has amassed million of views. Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch defended the partnership in a statement issued on April 3. “Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points,” the spokesperson said. “From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.” Dime Payments Dime Payments is a Christian owned processing payment business.

Beshear: 'I have a very close friend who didn't make it today'- Play Video The Police Department was still investigating the shooting at the bank when one man was fatally shot and another person was injured in a shooting later on Monday morning outside Jefferson Community and Technical College, less than two miles from the bank. It was not immediately clear what led to that shooting, but the police said that the two shootings were not connected. The college’s technical campus was still on lockdown midday Monday, and the school closed all of its campuses and canceled classes “out of reverence for those involved in shootings that have occurred today,” it said. https://www.foxnews.com/world/taiwan-warns-chinese-misstep-could-lead-uncontrollable-world-war-outbreak Taiwan warns Chinese misstep could lead to 'uncontrollable' world war outbreak Taiwan is sounding alarms over Chinese military drills that it says could mistakenly spark an "uncontrollable war" that would draw in countries from around the world. "The Chinese military exercises this couple of days have been very serious," Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu told Fox News Sunday. "If you look at the sorties of the Chinese air force, together with the ships, they're coming very close to Taiwan. And any accident might spark an uncontrollable war in between Taiwan and China. And if other countries are trying to intervene, it might be the start of a war of great scale." The comments come as large scale Chinese military drills entered their third day Monday, with the Chinese military declaring that it is "ready to fight" if Taiwan were to attempt to declare its independence from the mainland. "The theater’s troops are ready to fight at all times and can fight at any time to resolutely smash any form of ‘Taiwan independence’ and foreign interference attempts," the military said Monday, according to The Associated Press. The drills China has run played out similarly to those the country conducted in August after Taiwan received a visit from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., this time coming on the heels of a meeting between Taiwanese officials and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Like the previous incident in August, multiple warships and planes have reportedly crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which for decades was understood by both sides as a boundary that military forces should not cross for fear of escalating to war. But China has disregarded the boundary in more recent military drills, insisting the line is "imaginary" in nature. Wu warned that the recent drills have shown that the Chinese threat to the independently governed island have continued to increase, arguing that it will be crucial for the U.S. to continue to show support for Taiwan as a way to deter aggression from the mainland. https://www.theblaze.com/news/social-media-federal-agency-hiring Social media and big tech companies have hired hundreds from federal agencies, including CIA and FBI Tech companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and Twitter hired nearly 250 employees from federal law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the CIA, according to an investigation by the Daily Caller. Silicon Valley and tech companies have recruited 248 employees from the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Homeland Security, DOJ, and FBI, according to the report. Several of the employees fill top roles at the companies after having held positions in government agencies for more than two decades in many cases. Much of the hiring came between 2017 and 2022. Google alone hired 130 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, and FBI employees. Meta hired 47. Even Chinese-owned TikTok has employed 25 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, or FBI employees. The report states that Twitter directly recruited several employees of the FBI who had worked for the agency for over 20 years. An “embedded security manager" worked for Twitter for 10 months after working 22 years in the FBI, but he now works for Chevron. A “senior security manager" for Twitter also had a 22-year career with the FBI. Twitter's director of information security for the insider threat program was an FBI employee of 23 years. Additionally, the tech company's corporate security manager and crisis manager had 25 and 23 years respectively of experience at the federal agency. Other job titles at Twitter with FBI backgrounds include “senior director,” “security specialist,” “director of corporate security/ risk,” and “director of corporate resilience.” Google, Meta, TikTok, and the former FBI employees mentioned in the report either did not respond to inquiries from the Daily Caller or declined to comment. Twitter reportedly responded with a poo emoji, which is standard practice for the company. Twitter CEO Elon Musk is fighting battles on many fronts recently, with varying degrees of success. Musk is battling media credibility claims after labeling National Public Radio as "state-affiliated media," before eventually adjusting the label to "government funded media," the same annotation given to outlet BBC. At the same time, Musk temporarily changed the Twitter logo on the website to the "doge," a widely used cartoon image of the dog breed Shiba Inu. As well, in late March 2023, Musk and 1,000 others from the tech industry urged a pause in the development of artificial intelligence due to "profound risks to society and humanity."
