The ongoing discourse around social media and extremism took a strange twist earlier this month after users of the social media platform Tik Tok discovered a 2002 work by Osama bin Laden called “Letter to America.” Tik Tokers noted the letter's analysis of American imperialism and its effects on the Middle East, as well as the influence of Zionist thought on American politics. Many expressed shock and acted as if the brief letter completely altered their conception of the world, as if this was the very first critique of American foreign policy they ever encountered. This controversy ignited a very dumb conversation about the influence of social media, and Tik Tok in general, on young people. To unpack this tempest in a teapot, Travis, Jake, and Liv discuss the letter itself, how Tik Tokers reacted to it, and how the controversy may be inflated by panic over Chinese-owned Tik Tok.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—please my friends REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— Former President Bill Clinton is breaking with Democrats—and says the southern border is a crisis and it must be secured—or else we are in real trouble—   Number Two— Former President Donald Trump appeared in person for a session of the New York Kangaroo Court—trying desperately to convince you he committed some heinous act—years before he ran for President—   Number Three— Normally Donald Trump in court would lead the way—and the judge in the case—after laughing and being generally jovial in what appeared to be an inappropriate way—actually dumped about 80% of the case against the former President—and I will get to that in a bit—   BUT I will start today where we were yesterday—and that is with the war inside the Republican Party—that apparently has turned into a shooting war—politically speaking—   Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz delivered on his threat to challenge Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy for the position of Speaker altogether—   This is the first time since 1910 that a sitting Speaker has been challenged to vacate the seat—and its not clear how any of this will go—because it appears likely—that it may take Democrats to keep him in the position—and of course if that happens—more promises will be made behind closed doors—and its not McCarthy who is losing here—   Its you and its me—its America—   Because there is no such thing as public funds or government money—the only way the government gets money is by taking it from us—the taxpayers—government doesn't make any money—they only squander it—   Right now we are on the most reckless out of control spending spree in American history and this comes after quite a few notable spending sprees in the past few decades—Our debt stands at $33 Trillion dollars—a number that is so big—it really is hard for most people to even conceive how much it is—and under Joe Biden's deal with his socialist Democrat friends, and allowed by Republicans—the debt is growing by a jaw dropping $2 Trillion dollars a year—or more—   To put it mildly—we are screwed—and the people we have sent to Washington to get things back in order—the people we sent to stop the socialists from putting the final nail in America's coffin are failing miserably—they are failing us—   BUT the question is—how will this stunt by Matt Gaetz fix any of it—or make any of what the fools on the other side are doing any better—or is it all just a futile exercise now—and something the Uniparty wants in pursuit of the Green New Deal or Agenda 2030—or some other misguided policy that torches the Constitution of the United States?   Is Matt Gaetz a gallant hero or is he just flailing in futility in pursuit of something that will never happen?   Well he wasn't holding back after his historic move on the House floor—and said the blue team can have the Speaker—  However Gaetz may have written his own political obituary by doing what he did—as an ethics report investigating him for Bribery and other serious crimes is winding through the system and is nearly complete—AND with so many Republicans mad as hell—he may get the boot—because a whole lot of Democrats will take great joy in kicking him out too—   But there is one other big thing keeping kevin McCarthy buoyant right now—and that is Donald Trump—   Speaking of the former President—he had a big day in court Monday—

Why has a puny strip of sea stopped invading armies almost as effectively as the Atlantic Ocean has for America? Because staging a successful amphibious assault is extremely hard.

Ed Galvez (@edgalvez), comedian and actor is our guest this week. We learn what it’s like to play the lead zombie in the feature film “Amigo Undead.” Another tragedy, another cycle of Twitter nonsense - how are we supposed to handle ourselves on the internet during these times? Have you watched the 8 hour documentary “OJ: Made in America”? Because if not, you should - it’s the one of the greatest films we’ve ever seen. Another week, another half-baked bit of cinematic nostalgia in theaters. This week we take aim at ID:4 2. Stupid. RIP Anton Yelchin. :-(

Did you know that no other country in the world gets more tornadoes than we do right here in the United States of America? Because the cold air that comes over the Rockies meets the warm air in the plains, we have the perfect conditions for monster tornadoes. In fact, we get anywhere from 800 to 1,000 tornadoes a year! Very few of them are as devastating as the Joplin, MO tornado of last year. Others, like the small tornado that Rob and Haley got stuck in for this video, do minimal damage. So how do scientists classify tornadoes? If you guessed wind speed, you’re not exactly correct. Watch this week’s science video to find out! Learn more about Rob and Haley's tornado adventure here.
