David Hogg was caught in a videotape undercover videotape or audiotape rather by the folks at Project Veritas where he claims claims and now listen. We all know that there is no way that Joe Biden had the mental or physical capacity to be serving as president of The United States in at least the last two years of his administration. And and like a lot of people are saying and even even Jake Tapper said, this is bigger than Watergate. It is bigger than Watergate. It needs a Watergate style commission to find out exactly who was in charge because we know it wasn't Joe. We know it wasn't Joe Biden. We also need to look into the auto pen. Now I've and I've said this before, and I I think this should be the law that if a president because we understand that the auto pin needs to be used sometime. Maybe the president is on Air Force One. He's flying overseas. Maybe the president is overseas, and and something needs to be signed. So the president, whomever it is, Bush, Obama, Clinton, Trump, they need to use the auto pen. So they use the auto pen. At the first opportunity, the president needs to now first of all, it should always there should always be a disclaimer. This was signed with the auto pen. And at the first available opportunity, the president should actually affix his signature to that document. So there will be two signatures on it. There will be, the auto pin signature, and there will be the president's actual signature in person actual signature. That should be the law of the land because and then there should be some sort of a, a time limit that this has to be signed within thirty days of the auto pen for it actually to be, continue to be relevant or authentic. So within thirty nine thirty days, the president shows up, signs the bill. Alright. Now everything is good. Authorizing the use of the auto pen. Okay? So but who was signing it during the Biden administration? Well, David Saggs, has a pretty darn good idea. He was president Trump's cryptocurrency czar type fella. Listen to what he said, if it'll play. This is the financial system of the future, Jesse, and we have to encourage it. What the Biden administration was doing and let's face it. It wasn't Biden. Elizabeth Warren controlled the auto pen during that administration. She, for some reason, has this pathological hatred of the crypto community. She wants to drive this community offshore. She doesn't want it happening in The United States. That's the wrong policy for United States. We want all the innovation happening here. This Elizabeth Warren Focahontas was in charge of the auto pen? Wait. What by hold on. Wait a minute. By what authority? Somebody show me in the constitution where a a senator can be in charge of the auto pen. Somebody can somebody find that out for me real quick? I would love to know that. Would love to know that. There needs to be a huge investigation because this country was in a perilous position during those at least, like I said, at least those last two years. And we need to go back and look at every single thing that was signed with the auto pen to make sure it was authentic. All of those pardons, all of those executive orders, all of those regulations need to be poured over to my but you know what? There's some people out there that don't want investigations. They don't want investigations at all. And one of those people out there that doesn't want investigations is one, Jim Comey. Now what did he used to do? Jim Comey used to be the, the director of the, oh my goodness. What was it called? It was, it's a three letter oh, the FBI. The Federal Bureau of, what is it, investigation. The Federal Bureau of Investigation. Well, he was on with Wolf Blitzer, and listen to what he had to say. Something supported by a lot of conservatives out there. What do you make of this? It's a little confusing to me, honestly. I'm sure it's a huge adjustment to go from being a podcaster to being the deputy director of the FBI, but I don't ...

Authorizing users for credit involves granting them access to a credit account with the ability to use the account but not necessarily holding responsibility for payments. To authorize, the primary account holder must provide the user's information, such as name, address, and possibly Social Security Number. The authorized user gains credit benefits, such as improving their credit score, as the account's activity reflects on their credit report. However, the primary holder remains fully liable for payments. This process is commonly used to help individuals, like family members, build or improve their credit profiles through shared positive account history.

Authorizing strikes deep inside Russia, NATO powers seek to provoke escalation of war / The dictatorial threat of Trump's recess appointment plan / UAW president in damage control as rank-and-file anger mounts over Stellantis layoffs

It's so fun how the Biden administration is using its lame duck months to skyrocket hostilities between nuclear superpowers and we don't even know who's really making these decisions because the president's brain is cottage cheese. Reading by Tim Foley.

Opponents of Matt Gaetz are labeling him a sex offender, but the DOJ never pursued the accusations because the accusers lacked credibility.  Vince speaks with Matt Rosendale, Congressman representing Montana's 2nd Congressional District, about Biden bringing us to the verge of WW3 before leaving the WH by authorizing Ukraine to use long range missiles and Biden State Department telling Ukraine they can keep $4.65B in taxpayer money they originally were supposed to pay back.      For more coverage on the issues that matter to you visit www.WMAL.com, download the WMAL app or tune in live on WMAL-FM 105.9 from 3-6pm.    To join the conversation, check us out on social media: @WMAL @VinceCoglianese.      Executive Producer: Corey Inganamort @TheBirdWords See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a special message from Dallas Chief Eddie Garcia as he is retiring, after 33 years, from the law enforcement profession. It is a sad time for the Dallas Police Department as we are losing a true innovator and a “Cop's Cop” natural leader from the Department. Eddie Garcia started his law enforcement career, age 21, at the San Jose Police Department and he rose to become Chief of that Department in 2016. He served in  Narcotics, SWAT, the Homicide Unit and then began to climb into leadership, setting the path to Dallas Texas. The City of Dallas was reeling from skyrocketing crime, low Department morale and on the heels of covid and the defund the police movement and there was an opening for the Chief of Police position. The Department was in need of a strong leader, the community demanded a transparent Chief, and the City prayed for a figure that could turn around a much needed police department. In February of 2021 Chief Eddie Garcia took over as the Department's 30th Police Chief and the first Latino Chief in its 140 year history and quickly went to work building his command staff, connecting with the community and building trust in the Department. Eddie was and always will be an old street cop masquerading as a four star chief and the City of Dallas if lucky to have had a glimpse of true leadership that we hope that other future Chiefs will take note. Chief Garcia will leave the Dallas Police Department on November 1st to start a new journey in the State's Capital as the Assistant City Manager of Public Safety.   We will miss you Boss and we love you.   Garcia's administrations accomplishments:   Four straight years of violent crime reduction. Greenlighting the implementation of the Wellness Unit. Better relationships with community and city leaders. Alcohol Leave Policy that has assisted 14 officers to date. Authorizing the usage of blocker trucks to protect officers. Improved recruiting from outside the State. Creation of lateral transfer policy.

Republican Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, join today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast."President Joe Biden's decision to authorize reserve troops to be sent to Europe is “a sign that the Ukraine policy has become just another endless war,” Sen. Josh Hawley says.“I mean, this is all about Ukraine. This is exactly what I said would happen, that we have to send more troops there,” says Hawley, R-Mo. “We have to spend more money there. He's doing this at a time when our own southern border is completely overrun.”“Child traffickers, sex trafficking, drugs everywhere. He's doing it at a time when China is absolutely eating this administration's lunch,” the Missouri lawmaker says. “I mean, just eating their lunch, stealing our jobs, stealing our trade, and yet what's he doing? Thousands more troops to Europe. This will never end.” Hawley joins today's episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share his message to young people using the Chinese-owned app TikTok; to discuss what he sees as the most egregious examples of government overreach and abuse; and to talk about his book, “Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs.”Sen. Ted Cruz says “a whole lot more Americans dead” will be the No. 1 long-term impact if the flow of the illicit drug fentanyl flowing into the U.S. is not stopped.“You look at last year: We had over 100,000 overdoses last year. That's the highest rate of overdoses in the history of our nation,” says Cruz, R-Texas. “Two-hundred-thirty-plus years of our nation's history. We've never had that until last year.”“Of those, 70% of those were from Chinese fentanyl coming over the southern border, and it is profoundly dangerous,” he adds. Cruz joins today's episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the ongoing crisis at the U.S. southern border, President Joe Biden's decision to authorize sending 3,000 reserve troops to Europe, and the controversy surrounding the new “Barbie” movie.

What good are piecemeal reparations? From Georgetown University, where school leadership once sold enslaved people, to Evanston, Illinois, where redlining kept Black residents out of homeownership, institutions and local governments are attempting to take reparations into their own hands. But do these small-scale efforts detract from the broader call for reparations from the federal government? Fabiola talks with Indigenous philanthropist Edgar Villanueva, founder of the Decolonizing Wealth Project and creator of the Case for Reparations fund, about the reparatory justice efforts underway across the country and the role that individual donors might be able to play in reparations. Fabiola also speaks with activist Kavon Ward, who worked to restore Bruce's Beach, waterfront land in California, to the descendants of Black families who were pushed off the land by eminent domain. (Ward's work was funded by Villanueva's organization.) They discuss how jurisdictions are repaying Black people for what was taken from them — and if that repayment can be considered reparations at all.

News: Cabless autonomous electric truck approved for US public roads | New Atlas (01:35) Freight technology company Einride first introduced its cabless autonomous electric T-pod truck back in 2017.Couple years later in 2020, it started rolling along Swedish Roads Now the company has been given the green light for operation on public roads in the US. In what Einride claims is a first, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has approved its purpose-built autonomous electric vehicle to operate on public roads in the US, and there'll be no driver in the cab as the Einride Pod doesn't have a cab. The T-pod Truck makes use of an onboard sensor suite:cameras, radars and LiDARs  will be monitored remotely by a human operator If you are curious about the sizing:Each vehicle should measure about 7 meters (23 ft) in length, and be capable of carrying 15 standard pallets worth of cargo.  It will weigh 20 tons with a full load, covering a distance of approximately 200 km (124 miles) on one charge of its 200-kWh battery pack. The public road pilot is due to start in Q3 of this year, where the vehicle will merge with existing fleet operations at a GE Appliances manufacturing facility.Expected to move goods between warehouses and operate on public roads in mixed traffic.   Enzyme reverses muscle loss due to aging and cancer | The Bright Side News (05:25) An international team led by uOttawa Faculty of Medicine researchers have published findings that could contribute to future therapeutics for muscle degeneration due to old age, and diseases such as cancer and muscular dystrophy. Their work demonstrates the importance of the enzyme GCN5 in maintaining the expression of key structural proteins in skeletal muscle.Those are the muscles attached to bone that breathing, posture and locomotion all rely on. GCN5: a well-studied enzyme which regulates multiple cellular processes such as metabolism and inflammation.  Over the span of roughly five years, the uOttawa-led international collaboration painstakingly experimented with a muscle-specific mouse “knockout” of GCN5. In this case, multiple experiments were done to examine the role the GCN5 enzyme plays in muscle fiber.  What they found:A notable decline in muscle health during physical stress, such as downhill treadmill running, a type of exercise known by athletes to cause micro-tears in muscle fibers to stimulate muscle growth.  The affected mice became dramatically weaker as they scurried downhill, like those of old mice, while wild-type mice were not similarly impacted. Dr. Menzies, the senior author of the study, says the findings are akin to what is observed in advanced aging, or myopathies and muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic diseases that result in progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. Ultimately, the team's research found that GCN5 boosts the expression of key structural muscle proteins, notably dystrophin, and a lack of it will reduce them.This is significant because dystrophin is the body's most important protein for maintaining the membrane of muscle cells, serving as a kind of anchor and cushioning shock absorber in cells of muscles.  Dr. Menzies suggests the research could help to create a foundation for developing therapeutics down the line: “These findings may therefore be useful for the discovery of new therapeutics that regulate GCN5 activity, or its downstream targets, for maintaining healthy muscle during cancer, myopathies, muscular dystrophy or aging,” Scientists develop first-of-its-kind implant that relieves pain without drugs | Interesting Engineering (11:13) Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a device that sounds straight out of science fiction: a small, soft, flexible first-of-its-kind implant that relieves pain on demand, without the use of drugs and dissolves.Could provide a much-needed alternative to opioids and other highly addictive medications. As per the researchers, the device could be highly valuable for patients who undergo routine surgeries or amputations that most often need post-operative medications. Northwestern's John A. Rogers, who led the device's development, in a press release stated:“As engineers, we are motivated by the idea of treating pain without drugs — in ways that can be turned on and off instantly, with user control over the intensity of relief. The technology reported here exploits mechanisms that have some similarities to those that cause your fingers to feel numb when cold. Our implant allows that effect to be produced in a programmable way, directly and locally to targeted nerves, even those deep within surrounding soft tissues.” The device works by wrapping around nerves softly, to deliver precise and targeted cooling.This in turn numbs nerves and blocks pain signals to the brain.  An external pump helps the user to remotely activate the device and control its intensity. Once the device is no longer required, it is naturally absorbed into the body — "bypassing the need for surgical extraction". Why does coolness help with pain?Study co-author Dr. Matthew MacEwan of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis said that as nerves become cooler, the signals that travel through them become slower - eventually stopping completely.  “By delivering a cooling effect to just one or two targeted nerves, we can effectively modulate pain signals in one specific region of the body," The device contains tiny microfluidic channels to induce the cooling effect, while concurrently, a tiny integrated sensor monitors the temperature of the nerve to ensure that it doesn't get too cold, which could damage the tissue. Rodgers talks on the monitoring:"By monitoring the temperature at the nerve, the flow rates can be adjusted automatically to set a point that blocks pain in a reversible, safe manner. On-going work seeks to define the full set of time and temperature thresholds below which the process remains fully reversible." At the thickness of a sheet of paper, the soft, elastic nerve cooling device is ideal for treating highly sensitive nerves.   Scientists Say New James Webb Images Are So Powerful That It Was Emotional Just Looking at Them | Futurism (18:25) While we await the ceremonial release of the first official images taken by NASA's uber-expensive James Webb Space Telescope, early reactions to the long-awaited shots are already sounding pretty promising. NASA's scientific missions lead Thomas Zurbuchen told reporters on Wednesday:“The images are being taken right now… There is already some amazing science in the can, and some others are yet to be taken as we go forward. We are in the middle of getting the history-making data down." NASA plans to release several images on July 12, the inaugural "first light" observations from the space telescope and a potentially groundbreaking moment for the field of astronomy. Zurbuchen admitted he was in his feelings over the new images:“It's really hard to not look at the universe in a new light and not just have a moment that is deeply personal … It's an emotional moment when you see nature suddenly releasing some of its secrets. and I would like you to imagine and look forward to that." The images are expected to include unprecedented views of the depths of the universe and the atmosphere surrounding a distant exoplanet, potentially giving us glimpses of a habitable world other than our own. It's the culmination of over a decade of research, and a $10 billion investment that could soon pay off in a big way.   Elon Musk's Starlink gets FCC green light to beam broadband into moving cars, planes, boats | Business Insider (21:56) SpaceX won approval from the Federal Communications Commission to let its Starlink satellites send broadband internet to moving vehicles on Thursday.Cleared a major hurdle as it has already signed deals with airline carriers including Hawaiian Airlines and exclusive jet firm JSX to provide in-flight WiFi to passengers. "Authorizing a new class of terminals for SpaceX's satellite system will expand the range of broadband capabilities to meet the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move, whether driving an RV across the country, moving a freighter from Europe to a US port, or while on a domestic or international flight," the FCC said in its authorization order published Thursday. The FCC's authorization will allow Starlink to pursue deals with transport companies more vigorously.Royal Caribbean became the first cruise line to request Starlink on its ships in June. Starlink also launched a $135 monthly subscription for RVs in May. At launch the company said the internet service could not be used while the RV was in motion.

Usurping the fundamental rights of women to control their own bodies. Authorizing corporate giants to buy our elections. Nullifying the right of organizers to talk to workers about unionizing. Who is rigging America's legal system against workaday people? The Supreme Court's right-wing extremists, that's who. Just a handful of aloof, unelected judges have been turning what's supposed to be a citadel of justice into an unrestrained political instrument for instituting autocratic, plutocratic, theocratic power over us. If that sounds like a coup, it is! A slow-motion power grab has quietly been underway for years, with a core group of corporate billionaires and far-right political operatives working (with practically no media exposure) to stack federal and state courts with partisan activists. There's even a smoking gun revealing this plot: A confidential memo to the Chamber of Commerce, written in 1971 by Lewis Powell – a corporate lawyer and consigliere for Big Tobacco. Powell lamented that such upstanding corporate citizens as tobacco giants were not getting the respect they deserved, nor did they have enough power over the nation's political system. That was absurd, of course, but Powell was dead-set on returning America to pre-New Deal days when corporate barons were the supreme, domineering force over America's government, economy, and society. To get there, Powell's memo noted that “with an activist-minded Supreme Court, the judiciary may be the most important instrument for social, economic, and political change” – by which he meant structural changes that empower moneyed interests over workers, consumers, et al. Just two months after Powell sent his memo, President Nixon awarded him a seat on the Supreme Court! After decades of political maneuvering by a consortium of laissez-faire ideologues, dark-money billionaire funders, secretive front groups, and top GOP politicos, we now have the Supreme Court corporations want. Powell's memo has literally come to life.
