WATCH: Joe Rogan Slams CNN Over COVID Claims

Joe Rogan blasted CNN in a conversation with Russell Brand on his podcast Thursday.

Rogan accused CNN of altering a video he took of himself while he had COVID-19. “They changed my filter and turned me yellow on television? They took the original video of me and ran it through a filter to make me look horrible. They did some wild s**t! But that wild s**t cost them their credibility,” Rogan said.

[Warning: video contains explicit language.]

He also lambasted the network’s framing of antiviral drug Ivermectin as horse medicine. Rogan slammed CNN for “calling it horse dewormer when it is a drug that won the Nobel Prize” and is “on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines.”

It’s not the first time the chart-topping podcaster has leveled the charge against CNN. Rogan famously pressed CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta on the topic when he appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience in 2021. Rogan asked Gupta if it bothered him that the news network he worked for lied about ivermectin.

‘Girls Are Going to Be Just Fine’: Dem Lawmaker Dismisses Female Athletes’ Concerns About Trans Competitors (VIDEO)

Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Kaohly Vang Her dismissed concerns from some female athletes facing biological men in athletic competitions in the state’s House of Representatives on Thursday.

The Minnesota House State and Local Government Committee passed House File 173, which proposes adding an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the state constitution. The amendment would read, “Equality under the law shall not be abridged or denied by this state or any of its cities, counties, or other political subdivisions on account of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, ancestry, or national origin.”

Senate Democrats are pushing a similar amendment on the national scale, holding a hearing Tuesday on the ERA. Conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly mobilized women in opposition to the amendment as early as the 1970s, and even today experts warn that the amendment could eliminate all distinctions between the biological sexes, allowing trans-identified biological men to compete against females in athletic competitions.

“I am so sorry but our cisgender girls are gonna be just fine. Society is built in a way that accommodates us already,” Vang her said in a House committee hearing. “The fears we have around a fair competition — it is fair. And the few trans girls that play with the girls, our cisgender girls will be ok.”

Tucker Carlson Calls Out ‘Professional Christian’ Leaders for Silence as Canadian Pastor Arrested for Protesting Drag Queen Event

Fox News host Tucker Carlson reacted on Thursday evening to the arrest of a Canadian minister who protested a drag queen event for children.

Derek Riemer of Mission7 was arrested after he protested a drag queen story hour at Calgary Public Library on Saturday; video shows him shoved to the ground by attendees as he proclaimed that “Jesus Christ is Lord” and quoted biblical passages about homosexuality.

“We are disgusted and disturbed and appalled at the perversion and the indoctrination of the centralization and the normalization of this homosexual agenda and drag queen transgender agenda on the children,” Reimer said in an interview with LifeSiteNews. “We feel compelled to take a stand in the name of Jesus against this and to speak out and to preach the gospel, and to rebuke and to expose this.”

Carlson noted that the administration of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has actively opposed Christian and conservative movements in recent years. “On some level, all governments hate religious people, because it’s competition. And revolutionary governments, totalitarian governments, go after religious people first,” he observed. “That is the measure of a free country in the end: are you allowed to believe that there’s an authority higher than the people in charge of your government?”

The primetime anchor showcased footage of police arriving at Riemer’s home and arresting him for mischief and causing a disturbance. “Canada has now become an atheist totalitarian state with amazing speed,” Carlson remarked. “In Canada, it’s now a crime to object to sexualized drag shows for children.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Calls Out ‘Professional Christian’ Leaders for Silence as Canadian Pastor Arrested for Protesting Drag Queen Event” HERE)

Alex Murdaugh Found Guilty of Killing Wife, Son

A jury has found Alex Murdaugh, the disgraced South Carolina attorney on trial for the murder of his wife and son, guilty.

The decision comes after just a few hours of deliberation and a six-week trial where more than 70 witnesses testified. Murdaugh has maintained his innocence, suggesting his son Paul was the main target for the murders due to his involvement in a 2019 boat crash that killed 19-year-old Mallory Beach.

The guilty verdict followed two distinct closing arguments from the defense and the prosecution. The prosecution argued that Murdaugh was the only person with the means, motive, and opportunity to kill his wife and son, while the defense claimed the sloppy investigation misses potential other suspects.

“This defendant … has fooled everyone, everyone, everyone who thought they were close to him,” lead prosecutor Creighton Waters told jurors, according to CNN. “Everyone who thought they knew who he was, he’s fooled them all. He fooled Maggie and Paul, too, and they paid for it with their lives. Don’t let him fool you, too.”

“We believe that we’ve shown conclusively that [South Carolina Law Enforcement Division] failed miserably in investigating this case,” defense attorney Jim Griffin countered, according to CNN. “And had they done a competent job, Alex would have been excluded from that circle [of suspects] a year ago or two years ago.” (Read more from “Alex Murdaugh Found Guilty of Killing Wife, Son” HERE)

Disturbing Footage of Sexually Explicit Drag Show for Babies, Toddlers Goes Viral (VIDEO)

Footage of children attending drag shows is becoming commonplace, but that doesn’t make the latest such video making the rounds any less shocking.

The footage currently causing an uproar reportedly comes from Cabababarave, a U.K.-based organization that promotes drag events for children under 5. Multiple Twitter users posted videos and photos from an event that shows drag performers in thongs performing sexually suggestive dances in front of toddlers and babies.

In one video, a performer wearing leather bondage gear does an act while suspended from ropes attached to the ceiling. The event looks well-attended with parents and their toddlers. There are also images of a mostly naked performer holding a young girl during a performance.

In the wake of these clips going viral, Cabababarave made its Instagram and Facebook accounts private. While many upcoming events appear to be canceled, at least one sold-out performance scheduled for March 11 at The Flair Ground in London is still active. The page has the event tagged as “cabaret drag & burlesque” and “family friendly.”

“CABABABARAVE is an exciting new event for parents and their babies!” the description reads. “A little slice of afternoon delight that provides show-stopping cabaret interspersed with captivating baby sensory moments.. ending in a RAVE.” (Read more from “Disturbing Footage of Sexually Explicit Drag Show for Babies, Toddlers Goes Viral (VIDEO)” HERE)

DOJ Says Trump Can Be Sued Over January 6

The Justice Department (DOJ) said Thursday that former President Donald Trump can be sued in connection to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Attorneys for the DOJ Civil Division filed a court brief in response to the D.C. U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals asking the agency to respond to Trump’s claim of absolute immunity in a bid to dismiss the civil lawsuits brought against him.

“Speaking to the public on matters of public concern is a traditional function of the Presidency, and the outer perimeter of the President’s Office includes a vast realm of such speech,” government lawyers wrote. (Read more from “DOJ Says Trump Can Be Sued Over January 6” HERE)

Tennessee Enacts Law Restricting Drag Shows as Red States Mull Copycat Bills

Gov. Bill Lee (R-TN) signed a bill into law Thursday that criminalizes drag show performances in certain public places or anywhere they could be viewed by children.

The drag ban, known as Senate Bill 3, bans “adult cabaret performances” within 1,000 feet of schools, houses of worship, or public parks. The decision came shortly after Lee signed a bill prohibiting minors from accessing gender transition surgeries and hormone therapy.

When SB 3 goes into effect on July 1, first-time violators may be charged with a Class A misdemeanor that is punishable by a $2,500 fine and up to a year in jail. Any future offenses will constitute a Class E felony and carry a maximum six-year prison sentence.

The Tennessee measure was passed with the help of Republican supermajorities in both the state House and the Senate. It comes as nearly a dozen other similar bills are presently working their way through GOP-led state legislatures.

Republican proponents of such measures say that without them, children can be exposed to sexual themes and images.

U.S. Gov’t Was the ‘Greatest Perpetrator of Misinformation’ During Pandemic, Johns Hopkins Doctor Says

Johns Hopkins professor Dr. Marty Makary gave an impassioned speech Tuesday about how the United States government was the “greatest perpetrator of misinformation” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Makary was testifying before the House COVID subcommittee alongside other top medical experts.

“The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government,” Makary said. “Misinformation that COVID was spread through surface transmission, that vaccinated immunity was far greater than natural immunity, that masks were effective, now we have the definitive Cochran review, what do you do with that review? Cochran is the most authoritative evidence body in all of medicine, it has been for decades. Do you just ignore it? Not talk about it?”

“… that myocarditis was more common after the infection than the vaccine. Not true. It’s 4-28 times more common after the vaccine. That young people benefit from a booster, misinformation. Our two top experts on vaccines quit the FDA in protest over this particular issue — using boosters in young, healthy people. The data was never there, that’s why the CDC never disclosed hospitalization rates among boosted Americans under age 50.”

“Over and over again we’ve seen something that goes far beyond using your best judgment with the information at hand,” he continued. “We’ve seen something which is unforgivable and that is the weaponization of medical research itself. The CDC putting out its own shoddy studies, like their own study looking at natural immunity, looking at one state for two months when they had data for years on all 50 states. Why did they only report that one sliver of data? Why did they salami slice the database? Cause it gave them the result they wanted.” (Read more from “U.S. Gov’t Was the ‘Greatest Perpetrator of Misinformation’ During Pandemic, Johns Hopkins Doctor Says” HERE)

Bill Maher: ‘The Trans Community Is Asking For Too Much’ (VIDEO)

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Bill Maher commented on transgenderism, saying he believes that the transgender community is “asking for too much,” adding that activists “absolutely do want to shut down debate.”

Discussing “wokeness,” President Biden, and the 2024 presidential race, Maher made a string of comments regarding the vast differences he sees between what he calls “liberalism” and “wokeness.”

Maher described the liberal point of view regarding transgender people as believing that they should “freely live the lives that they should live, with all the dignity and protection under the law that we can afford them, like anybody else in society.”

However, the comedian defined the “woke point of view” as “well, babies are born now, and ‘jump ball,’ we don’t know what they are.” . . .

“It’s not wrong to have this discussion; this is something that is very new. To shut down debate with these words like ‘phobia,’ you’re ‘phobic,’ and you hate, we don’t hate, there’s no hate, we’re not phobic, we’re not afraid, we’re just discussing something that involves children,” Maher explained.

Researcher Worries Government Is Wrongly Declaring ‘Safety’ Near Ohio Train Crash

A senior researcher at Texas A&M University expressed concern that the EPA and other government agencies are neglecting to provide full information about the risks posed to residents of East Palestine, Ohio, in the wake of the Norfolk Southern train derailment and chemical fallout.

Local and state authorities previously evacuated all residents within one mile of the February 3 derailment and started a controlled burn of industrial chemicals on the vehicle to decrease the risk of an explosion, which could have sent shrapnel throughout the small town. Vinyl chloride, a known human carcinogen used to manufacture PVC, was emitted from five train cars in the form of massive plumes of black smoke visible throughout eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.

Analysts from the Texas A&M Superfund Research Center and the Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies at Carnegie Mellon University announced last week that nine of the 50 chemicals the EPA said were present on the derailed train have higher concentrations than normal in East Palestine. They were especially concerned with above-normal levels of acrolein, a substance with a pungent odor that is highly toxic when inhaled, and warned of health concerns if above-normal levels of benzene, naphthalene, and vinyl chloride persist in the area.

The findings came after the EPA said that air and water quality tests have not produced cause for concern, while state-level authorities in both Ohio and Pennsylvania reached similar conclusions.

Ivan Rusyn, the director of the Texas A&M Superfund Research Center and the chair of the Texas A&M Interdisciplinary Faculty of Toxicology, told The Daily Wire that the officials “did not provide the full context into which the actual data collected by them could be placed.” He said that researchers from the two universities translated “the raw data posted by the agencies online” to determine the effects of continual inhalation and found that some of the chemicals would pose dangers if they persist for months or years.
