96: Out of Luck

Food Noise, Addiction Science, Corporate Food Industry

The concept of "food noise"—constant intrusive thoughts about eating—is explored as a biological addiction similar to substance abuse. The hosts argue that the food industry and pharmaceutical companies work in tandem to profit from sugar addiction and subsequent medical treatments.

Fox News Strategy and Tucker Carlson as Limited Hangout

The hosts debate whether Tucker Carlson serves as a "limited hangout" for the Murdoch family, allowing some dissent against Big Pharma while the rest of Fox News remains aligned with the establishment. They criticize the "sandwich" programming strategy that places Carlson between hosts like Jesse Waters and Sean Hannity. They argue that Carlson's content has become increasingly similar to Twitter-driven outrage cycles seen on Tim Pool's show.

Newsbenders Satire and the Control of Human Emotion

Mo Facts introduces clips from the 1970s BBC satirical play "Newsbenders," which depicts a secret organization planning the news years in advance. The play describes using "fictitious" threats like nuclear war and financial instability to keep the public in a state of emotional threat and economic dependency. The hosts compare this to modern "Big Pharma" solutions like Ozempic, which they argue are designed to profit from the very anxieties created by the media.

Anthony Fauci Career Trajectory, Pharmaceutical Marketing

Billy Porter, Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Trials

Vaccine Adverse Events, Perfecting mRNA

The hosts "game out" a theory that the mass rollout of COVID-19 vaccines is a live trial to perfect mRNA technology for more profitable long-term products like AIDS and cancer vaccines. They suggest that the scale of the pandemic allows for the suppression of adverse events that would be more visible in smaller groups.

Voting Laws and the Ineffectiveness of Legal Scholars

The hosts critique Kimberly Crenshaw’s focus on historical voting rights and Reconstruction, arguing that as a legal scholar, she has failed to address modern tangible issues like biased bail algorithms. They point out the irony of civil rights leaders ignoring the potential civil rights violations inherent in government vaccine mandates, which disproportionately affect the "dark folks" they claim to represent.

The Botched Dismantling of the KKK and Railroad Subsidies

Historical records show that while Amos Akerman prosecuted hundreds of Klansmen, President Ulysses S. Grant abruptly fired him and commuted the sentences of many convicts. The hosts suggest Akerman was actually removed for challenging Northern capitalists and railroad subsidies. They draw a parallel to modern politics, suggesting Kristen Clarke should focus on Big Pharma's civil rights infringements rather than political posturing.

SIGN Language and the Evolution of Vaccine Tactics

The hosts introduce the acronym "SIGN"—Shame, Insult, Guilt, and the Need to be right—as a tactic used by "Karens" and the media to manipulate public opinion. They play a throwback clip from the show *Blackish* to demonstrate how these tactics were used to promote vaccines long before COVID-19. They argue that the establishment is now transitioning from this "SIGN language" to a more deceptive "love language."

Black-ish Propaganda and Pharmaceutical Industry Shilling

The television show Black-ish is analyzed as a tool for social propaganda, specifically citing an episode sponsored by Procter & Gamble. A segment from the show is highlighted for promoting vaccines and mocking those who question the pharmaceutical industry. The dialogue is criticized for using "woke" language and scripted Twitter-style arguments to shame medical skepticism.

Larry Elder on Deflection and Police Accountability

Larry Elder questions why Black Lives Matter focuses on police shootings rather than the higher rates of black-on-black crime. Mo views this as a deflection, pointing out that the NRA and conservative pundits remained silent when Philando Castile, a legal gun owner, was killed by police. They also discuss the media's refusal to investigate the role of SSRIs and mental health in police violence due to Big Pharma advertising.
