01:00:44 – RFK Jr. Torches Senate RFK Jr. clashes with senators, calling Maggie Hassan a liar and exposing CDC corruption. He slams pharma influence and cites data showing suppressed autism risks. 01:07:55 – Autism Cover-Up Exposed RFK Jr. details a 2002 CDC study showing black boys had a 260% higher autism risk with early MMR shots—data destroyed by officials to protect pharma. 01:11:10 – Cassidy Traps RFK Jr. Sen. Bill Cassidy forces RFK Jr. to endorse Trump's Operation Warp Speed, calling it Nobel-worthy. RFK caves, exposing his compromise with Trump's ego. 01:16:10 – Senators Bought by Pharma Discussion lists senators pocketing millions from vaccine makers: Warren, Sanders, Romney, Cassidy, and others. Both parties are shown as fully captured by pharma. 01:23:16 – Spike Protein = Bioweapon Listener analysis ties vaccine harms to spike protein's destruction of ACE2, fueling myocarditis, clotting, and turbo cancers. Critics call the jabs a Pentagon-DARPA bioweapon. 01:27:33 – Trump, Gates, and Zuckerberg Dinner Trump dines with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg at the White House. Commentary frames it as proof Trump embraces technocrats pushing AI, depopulation, and new mRNA delivery systems. 01:51:24 – Tim Kaine: Rights From Government Sen. Tim Kaine claims rights come from government, not God—sparking outrage. Ted Cruz rebukes him with Jefferson's words, while critics tie Kaine's stance to Marxist liberation theology. 01:59:42 – Liberation Theology = KGB Ops Discussion traces Kaine's worldview to “liberation theology,” described as a KGB psyop to destabilize the West. Parallels are drawn to Pope Francis and modern Marxist infiltration in religion. 02:03:47 – DOJ Pushes Gun Ban for Transgender People DOJ considers labeling transgender individuals as mentally ill to strip gun rights. Critics warn it's a Trojan horse for red flag gun laws and Trump-style “due process later” policies. 02:07:47 – Trans Militancy & Socialist Rifle Association Zero Hedge report links trans shooters with the far-left Socialist Rifle Association, whose rainbow-AR-15 imagery echoes recent killings. Hosts warn conservatives are being baited into cheering gun control. 02:17:13 – Trump's Asylum Agenda Trump and Melania push reopening mental institutions and mandatory mental health screenings. Critics warn this echoes totalitarian regimes weaponizing psychiatry to silence dissent. 02:19:54 – John Rich vs. TVA Land Grab Country singer John Rich helps Tennessee locals fight the TVA's eminent domain scheme for a methane gas plant. After massive pushback, TVA cancels plans—framed as a rare grassroots victory against corporate-government overreach. 03:05:52 – Gold Soars on Weak Jobs Gerald Celente joins to discuss gold hitting $3,600 amid dismal job numbers. Weak labor markets signal looming rate cuts, sinking the dollar and driving investors to safe havens. 03:09:12 – Trump's Crypto Empire Exposed Discussion shifts to how Trump's family quietly moved massive wealth into Bitcoin and crypto mining. His stake is now larger than his global resorts, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. 03:12:54 – Dragflation & Debt Heart Attack Celente predicts “dragflation”—declining growth plus surging inflation—as debt tops $220 trillion. Ray Dalio's warning of a “debt-induced heart attack” within three years is echoed as inevitable. 03:14:42 – Gold Goes Digital The World Gold Council prepares to tokenize bullion for global trading. Analysts warn it could wipe out unstable cryptocurrencies and challenge U.S. dollar dominance. 03:26:02 – H-1B Scam & Cheap Labor Conversation turns to H-1B visas, tracing back to Bill Clinton and expanded under Trump and Biden. Both parties are accused of flooding the U.S. with cheap foreign labor to suppress wages. 03:36:02 – Venezuela Strike = Oil Grab Trump's shoot-first policy in Venezuela is blasted as a false “drug war” pretext to seize oil. Comparisons are drawn to Duterte's Philippines and past regime-change coups.

Buckle up, patriots—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove blaze through Season 7, Episode 168, “RFK Jr. Testifies at Senate Hearing Amid CDC Chaos; Putin Talks IMMORTALITY,” airing live on September 4, 2025, at 12:05 PM Eastern! These truth-warrior hosts dissect HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s fiery Senate testimony, grilling the establishment on CDC upheaval—from firing Director Susan Monarez and top resignations to overhauling vaccine policies amid accusations of hidden myocarditis signals, manipulated safety data, and links to autism risks in studies like the Atlanta MMR research. Jeff and Shannon expose pharmaceutical giants' grip on politicians through massive donations to figures like Maria Cantwell and Maggie Hassan, prioritizing profits over public health, while championing transparency in drug approvals, unvaccinated vs. vaccinated health comparisons, and cracking down on federal healthcare fraud via CMS initiatives and rural health reforms. They slam the Biden era's COVID vaccine push as a test run for control, with celebs and officials like Obama and Fauci downplaying dangers, and question the media's Pfizer-sponsored spin. Then, they turn to Vladimir Putin's hot-mic musings with Xi Jinping on biotechnology, organ transplants, and achieving immortality—unearthing potential globalist plots in anti-aging pursuits. With razor-sharp wit, live intel drops, and real-time takedowns, the MG Show urges accountability in the medical system and a rejection of entrenched corruption.

This Day in Legal History: Robert Bork Nomination RejectedOn October 23, 1987, the U.S. Senate rejected President Ronald Reagan's nomination of Robert H. Bork to the Supreme Court by a vote of 42-58. This rejection was a pivotal moment in U.S. legal and political history, marking one of the most contentious Supreme Court nomination battles. Bork, a former solicitor general and judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, was known for his strict originalist interpretation of the Constitution, which raised concerns about how his judicial philosophy might affect rulings on civil rights, privacy, and women's rights.Bork's nomination ignited intense public opposition, particularly from civil rights organizations, women's rights groups, and liberal advocacy organizations. These groups feared that his conservative views on issues like abortion, affirmative action, and privacy rights would roll back decades of legal progress. His academic writings and controversial role in the Saturday Night Massacre during the Watergate scandal, when he followed President Nixon's orders to fire the special prosecutor investigating the case, further fueled opposition.The Senate's rejection of Bork is widely seen as a turning point in the politicization of Supreme Court nominations, where ideology became a key battleground. The term “borking” was coined to describe the aggressive campaigning and lobbying used to derail a judicial nomination. This event reshaped how future judicial nominations would be approached, with increased scrutiny on nominees' legal philosophies and the political stakes of Supreme Court appointments.Elon Musk's $1 million election giveaway has sparked debate over whether it violates federal laws prohibiting payment to register or vote. The giveaway, which selects daily winners from those who sign Musk's petition supporting the First and Second Amendments, targets key battleground states ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Legal experts are split on its legality. Some argue that it could be viewed as indirectly incentivizing voter registration, particularly since participants must be registered voters in specific states. Critics, including Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro, are calling for investigations, citing concerns about potential violations. Others, like former Federal Election Commission chair Brad Smith, believe Musk is not violating the law because signing the petition isn't directly tied to registering to vote. The controversy centers on whether Musk's actions are a clever mobilization tactic or a breach of election law.Elon Musk's $1 million election giveaway tests limits of election law | ReutersCarrier Global has agreed to a $730 million settlement related to PFAS contamination claims against its bankrupt fire protection unit, Kidde-Fenwal. The settlement will resolve lawsuits over toxic chemicals, known as PFAS or "forever chemicals," found in Kidde-Fenwal's firefighting foam products, which allegedly polluted water and soil near U.S. airports and military bases. The settlement allocates $540 million to Kidde-Fenwal and $190 million to the plaintiffs. Carrier will fund $615 million over five years and use $115 million from the sale of Kidde-Fenwal's assets. Additionally, Carrier expects up to $2.4 billion in insurance payouts to cover costs. Kidde-Fenwal filed for bankruptcy in May 2023 amid over 4,400 PFAS-related lawsuits. This settlement follows other major PFAS agreements, such as 3M's $10.3 billion and DuPont's $1.19 billion settlements.Carrier reaches $730 mln settlement over fire protection unit PFAS claims | ReutersRupert Murdoch's Dow Jones and the New York Post have filed a lawsuit against Perplexity AI, accusing the startup of illegally copying their copyrighted content to generate AI-based responses. The lawsuit highlights a broader conflict between publishers and tech companies over the unauthorized use of copyrighted material for AI training and content generation. Perplexity, which competes in the search engine market, provides AI-generated summaries from various sources, including material from Dow Jones and the New York Post. The lawsuit claims that Perplexity's system reproduces content verbatim without permission, constituting copyright infringement. Dow Jones and the *New York Post* seek to stop Perplexity from using their content and demand the destruction of databases built using their work. Despite attempts to negotiate a licensing deal, Perplexity did not respond. The case reflects growing tensions between media organizations and AI companies, as publishers push for compensation for the use of their content.Murdoch's Dow Jones, New York Post sue Perplexity AI for 'illegal' copying of content | ReutersA Michigan judge rejected a Republican effort to restrict overseas voting in the state. The Republican National Committee (RNC) had filed a lawsuit claiming Michigan's election laws improperly allowed U.S. citizens living abroad, who had never resided in the state but had relatives there, to vote. Judge Sima Patel ruled that the challenged language in the law aligns with federal and state regulations. According to Michigan law, U.S. citizens who have never lived in the U.S. can vote in Michigan if a parent, guardian, or spouse last resided there, as long as they haven't registered in another state. The RNC did not immediately respond to the decision.Judge rejects Republican move to restrict overseas voting in Michigan | ReutersIn my column for Bloomberg this week I argued for the need to establish a uniform state sales tax system to alleviate the burdens on small businesses and remote sellers. The current fragmented system, with over 13,000 tax jurisdictions, creates significant compliance challenges. Since the Supreme Court's South Dakota v. Wayfair decision in 2018, remote sellers are now required to navigate a complex patchwork of tax rules across states, which hampers interstate commerce. A proposal by Senator Maggie Hassan to standardize sales tax policies has drawn opposition from states concerned about losing autonomy, but the economic harm caused by the status quo warrants congressional intervention. Small businesses are disproportionately affected, as they are often required to track taxes across multiple states, increasing administrative costs. A federal solution, like Hassan's proposal, could simplify this with exemptions for small sellers and protections for good-faith tax collection errors. Offering federal incentives for states to modernize their tax systems could help ease the transition. By building on existing frameworks, such as the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, a collaborative approach can balance state sovereignty with the need for a more consistent tax system that supports commerce.We Need a Uniform State Sales Tax System That Supports Commerce This is a public episode.
