This podcast episode, hosted by Kraig Delaney, critiques several public figures and media outlets, focusing on what the host perceives as dishonesty and manipulation. I express disdain for "code-switching" in politics, citing Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett as an example, and labels it as inauthentic. He also criticizes Rosie O'Donnell's comments on a school shooting and subsequent apology, along with Senator Elizabeth Warren's questioning of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accusing her of being disingenuous and influenced by lobbyists regarding the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017. A significant portion of the episode condemns mainstream media for what it calls propaganda, referencing the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 and providing examples of edited clips from CBS featuring Kristi Noem and Kamala Harris. Finally, I dismiss Greta Thunberg's claim of a drone attack on her boat as a fabrication, before concluding with a segment on the science of happiness.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Bring out the allumn.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
He's koja is. This is the Soapbox Champion Podcast. Hey everyone,
it's Tuesday, September nine, twenty twenty five. This is episode
two and two of the Soapbox Champion Podcast, recorded live
from good old FEMA Region five. Everyone report in with
(00:48):
your FEMA region, text, voicemail or email a here at
the Soapbox Champion Podcast. We're We're just like you. My
name is Craig Delaney and I only have one speaking voice,
and this is it. What you're hearing is what it is.
What I have is what I have. Take it or
leave it, love it or hate it whatever. Some people
(01:11):
are unique as they have two completely different voices that
can be called upon when needed to fool people or
to be dishonest and Welcome to the pick on Texas
Representative Jasmine Crockett Day. This is Texas Representative Crocket.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
First of all, it's good to see you in the
new year. You know, no one could have told me
that when I went down to Austin now it's like
a little bit over a year ago, that I would
be running for Congress. Maybe because these people they are crazy,
because they always talk about how Christian they is yeah,
I don't know how many am on that side. I
(01:49):
getting divorced because they getting caught up sleeping with their
coworker staff as an turns all the things. Yeah, you
ain't gotta believe me. Just go Google. You'll find some
of it, I'm telling you. In the being messy and pitty.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
What the hell was even that same person the first clip,
second clip, same person. There's a name for that, and
it's called code switching. Code switching is the practice of
alternating between different languages, dialects, or speech styles within a
conversation or context, often adapt to social, cultural, or professional settings.
(02:25):
It's commonly used by individuals navigating multiple cultural identities, such
as switching between formal English in professional settings an informal
or culturally specific vernacular when with friends or family. This
helps individuals connect with different groups or signal belonging. See
(02:46):
like Jasmine Crockett using colloquial speech to resonate with constituents.
This is the old I'm just like you bit, but
it never works. In politics, it can reflect audience setting
or purpose, formal authority, informal relatability, and social aspects. It's
(03:08):
often used to navigate power dynamics to avoid stereotypes or
assert identity, and it comes with much criticism. Some view
it as inauthentic and performative, especially in politics, though it's
natural and inguistic tool for many. But I'm a skeptic
and critic, and I think it's dumb. I just want
(03:31):
the same voice from the same person every time. That
helps to relate, That helps me know who they are
and trust who they are. And I don't care which
voice or dialect just choose. It's fake, it's playing a character,
and it's dumb. It's dishonest. I don't want my representative
(03:53):
to be quote unquote just like me. I don't have
that authority. I can't bring the level of positive change
that they can where they can. I can't pull the
levers at the top level like they can. I want
them to be a little different. My Indiana House District
seventy six representatives, Wendy McNamara, sh holds a bachelor's degree
(04:18):
in political science out of the University of Indianapolis, a
teacher certification from Valprasoe University, and a master's degree in
Education and Educational Leadership from the USI I don't she
isn't like me. Code switching to me, is like the
personal physical version of virtue signaling yeah we hear what
(04:44):
you're saying, we just don't believe you. In other words,
it's really truly and personally fake. Cut it out. Speaking
of deeply personally fake, Rosy o'donald has finally gotten some
pressed since the nineteen nineties A League of their own movie,
(05:05):
super annoying in that movie, and super annoying and ignorant today.
This is how she responded and handled the Minneapolis Catholic
School shooting once she first heard about it.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
So about the Minnesota shooting, and it brought me right
back to Columbine in nineteen ninety nine when I just
could not get it through my head that students in
America were shooting each other in schools, and this was
a church inside a Catholic school. And what do you
(05:37):
know was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person, what do
you know, white supremacist?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Wrong? Excuse me, white girl. If we're being correct, you know,
after the transition there, get with it. Rosie no clear
evident and supports the claim that most shooter suspects in
the US are Republicans. Absolutely none data on mass shooters
political affiliations is often incomplete or unverified, as many perpetrators
(06:12):
don't explicitly align with the political party, so there's no
way to know. For example, a twenty eighteen PolitiFact analysis
found that of nineteen high profile mass shooting since nineteen
ninety nine, only a few had verified political ties. One
shooter was a registered Democrat, another identified as a Republican
(06:32):
on a dating profile, and a third was described as
quote more of a liberal type end quote by a friend,
but most lacked clear partisan affiliation. Experts like James Allen Fox,
a criminologist at Northeastern University, emphasized that mass shootings are
rarely driven by political ideology, with personal grievances, mental health issues, ding, ding,
(06:57):
and other non political motives being more common. That plus,
Rosie being one of the most annoying human beings on earth,
really pissed everyone off, so much so that her and
her cold sore had to get back on and do
a fake apology.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Hi everybody, it's Rosie O'Donnell, star of the Flintstones. Listen,
I have a cold star. I know happens, get run
down gross Anyway, I know a lot of you were
very upset about the video I made before I went
away for a few days. I didn't go online and
haven't seen them till today.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
But you are right.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I did not do my due diligence before I made
that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter
that were incorrect. I assumed, like most shooters, they followed
a standard mo O and had standard you know, feelings
of you know, uh NRA love and kind of gun people. Anyway,
(08:00):
t is I messed up. And when you mess up,
you fess up. I'm sorry. This is my apology video video,
and I hope it's enough.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, super gross in almost every way. According to the
Magic eight ball, Rosie is most likely insane. It's literally
what came up for me just now, So you know
it's true, so out of touch, so feelingless, so disgusting,
such an ingenuine apology. Hey guess what. I'm a gun
(08:33):
loving guy. I love him. I love him old, I
love him broken, I love him brand new. I love
them dirty, I love to clean them. Also, I hate
the NRA. Who is asking? And I mean this, and
I really am curious, sincerely, who is out there asking
for her opinion or on anything? What makes her think
(08:55):
anyone wants to hear her opinion. Now I get it.
Who wants to hear mine? Who wants to hear anyone's opinion?
I told you I get it. Probably no one. But
you know where to get it right here on my podcast.
And you don't have to. You just got to go
looking for it. I don't put it out there and say, hey,
you ask for this episode here I am. You need
(09:15):
to put forth effort to get my opinion. She just
puts it on social media and makes it sound like
millions of people are glued to x refreshing her profile
just to get her thoughts. No one is rosie, Rosie.
You need to get a diary, then you can hide
and no one has to read it. And before we
let her off the hook, we'll hear from her one
(09:37):
more time, so we'll get all the rosy stuff out
of the way. She has a history of Damassari.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
You know his assassination attempt. A man died during that
assassination attempt, A man died.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, and it wasn't him.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Yeah, he am miraculously healed, ladies and gentlemen. Will anyone
in the news ever say that without couching it his ear?
Miraculously regenerated people? What else do you.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Need You just heard derangement. That's derange it and more specifically,
it's Trump derangement syndrome. And we can't get away with
playing that SoundBite without playing this next one, and then
we'll move on. It's from joy read that I'll enjoy
talking about her covering, but from MSNBC. They they keep
(10:31):
moving her around because no one likes her, and she'll
be in the basement soon muttering about a stapler.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
He's got these magical doctors who claim that he was
shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess crew back.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
He had a du blow bandage on one minute, no
bandage the next.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
We can't get a medical record from this alleged assassination.
He was supposedly shot.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We've got one.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Where's the annagative where the investigative.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Records a lot of use of the words supposedly, even
though we all watched him a very live TV. Okay,
you're y'all are crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Senate Finance Committee hearing involving Robert F. Kennedy Junior on
September fourth, as the US Health and Human Services Secretary.
Rfk Junior faced intense questioning from both Republican and Democratic
senators regarding his controversial vaccine policies, the recent firing of
the CDC director Susan Monez, and leadership changes at the CDC.
(11:29):
Ah all welcome changes. By the way, if you're to
speaking of opinions, here's mine. All welcome changes. There welcome changes.
You know, only if you're interested in the health of taxpayers.
Only if you're interested in that, are they welcome changes.
If you're interested in anything other than the health of
(11:51):
US citizens, then they're welcome. But if you're not interested
in the health of citizens and taxpayers, then they're not welcome.
So that paint you what it paints you know what
I'm saying. But the best part and the reason I'm
bringing this up, Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned Junior, and she
sounded rude, ignorant, loud, and fake. And I'm going to
(12:13):
play the whole clip. It's long, but it's worth it,
and it's a payoff, and it's exactly why I can't
stand Senator Warren.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Senator Warren, thank you, mister Chairman.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
So last November, while you are under consideration to become
Secretary of Health and Human Services, mister Kennedy, you said,
quote if vaccines are working for somebody, I'm not going
to take them away, no exceptions, no if SAMs or butts.
You would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them. Then,
(12:50):
last week you announced that the COVID nineteen vaccine is
no longer a proof for healthy people under the age
of sixty five. In announcing the change, you said the
vaccine will be available for anyone who wants it. Now.
Obviously both things cannot be true at the same moment,
So let's clear this up right now. Secretary Kennedy, will
(13:10):
you tell America that all adults and all children over
six months of age are eligible to get a COVID
booster at their local pharmacy today.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Anybody can get the booster. I'm sorry, anybody can get
it anybody.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
So you're saying that is now the official rule of HHS.
Anybody is eligible to get a booster by just walking
into the pharmacy.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It's not recommended for healthy people.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
No. No, If you don't recommend, then the consequence of
that in many states is that you can't walk into
a pharmacy and get one. It means insurance companies don't
have to cover the two hundred dollars or so cost.
As Senator doctor Cassidy said, you are effectively denying people vaccines.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
We're not going to recommend the product for which there's
no clinical data for that indication, which is that what
I should be doing, what you should be.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Doing is honoring your promise that you made when you
were looking to get confirmed in this job.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
You're going like this. That is, you promised that you would.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them. You
just changed the classification of the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I'm not taking them away from people, Senator.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
It takes it away if you can't get it from
your pharmacy.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Well, most Americans are going to be able to get
it from their pharmacy for free dollars. Most Americans will
be able to get it from their pharmacy.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
Fore, Christian is everyone who wants it. That was your promise.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
I no identity. I never promised that I was going
to recommend products with which there is in.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Our own occasion.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
When you said, and I know you've taken eight hundred
and fifty five thousand dollars from pharmaceutical company, Senator, did.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
You hold up a big sign saying that you were
lying when you said that, because you are the one
who said you would not take them away.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Now, Senator, I'm not taking them away from that.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Secretary, You'll you want me to indicate a product for
which there is no clinical data.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
Senators, Secretary Kennedy, you said you wouldn't, and now you did.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm not taking them away. Everybody can get access to them.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
No, they can't walk into a pharmacy the way they
could last month and get access.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It depends on the state. It depends on the states
a year ago. They can still get it. Everybody can
get it. Go, everybody can get it, Senator.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
So look, let's move on. You clearly are taking away vaccines.
I've seen the list for what's coming up next, and
that is the agenda for the next CDC Vaccine Panel.
And first up is ratifying your COVID actions. Second is
hepatitis B is on the agenda. So should America expect
(16:00):
you to take away hepatitis vaccine access as well, even
though you promised not to.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
As I said, I'm not taking vaccines away from anybody.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
The same answer, right, You're just going to deny that
when people can't get access that you're not taking it away.
Then let me ask you, is that the same game
you're going to play with me?
Speaker 9 (16:21):
You are, and so you want me to recommend every
product in the world.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Without any clinical trial.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Data, brow on your promises.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, my promise was to give it months ago.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
We could get covid vaccines by just walking.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You can still get covid vaccine. Senator, taking that away,
Oh you are still You can still get the covid vaccines.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Care will still pay for them, and medicids will shall the.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Head of the CDC that if she refused to sign
off on your changes to the childhood vaccine schedule that
she had to resign. No.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
I told her that she had to resign because I
asked her, are you a trustworthy person?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And she said no. If you had an.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
Employee who told you they weren't trustworthy, would you ask
them to resign?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Senator.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
So I'm sorry, but this is not what she has
said publicly.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I'm not surprised about that.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
So you're saying she's not.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yes, every conversation I had with her that were with.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Yes, just straight.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
This is the same person that less than a month
earlier you stood next to her and described her as
unimpeachable and you had full confidence in her, and that
you had full confidence in her scientific credentials, and in
a month she became a liar.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, we should ask her what changed.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
And by the way, a month ago you were voting
against her because you thought she was either incompetent, ineligible,
or unsuited to the task.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
I stream, but I was afraid she was going to
bend the need to you and Donald Trump. And it
looks like she didn't bend the knee, so.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
You fired her.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
Look, you are putting America's baby's health at risk, America's
senior's health at risk, all Americans health at risk, and
you should resign.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Okay, this is all she does online in real life
all the time. She just gripes, moans, gets loud and interrupts.
I really truly think she lost her mind. Somewhere along
the line, somewhere between Trump and RFK Junior, she lost
(18:38):
her mind. Go follow her, follow her on X see
all that she does because she posts everything and it's nothing.
Did you catch Junior calling her out on eight hundred
thousand dollars from pharma? That's when she says things like that.
Moving on, I'm just interrupt, she says, that all the time.
Listen for that. If she says moving on means she
(19:00):
was defeated and she wants to change the subject, But
she never does change the subject. That's her way of
talking over the person, hoping we don't hear what was said.
Her biography says she remains a vocal critic of corporate
power and economic inequality. But real life says that she
takes hundreds of thousands of dollars from Big Pharma and
(19:23):
from all those fake hearing aid manufacturers. Remember that that
was the over the Counter Hearing Aid Act of twenty seventeen.
See I don't forget because I cover this stuff. She
was working to make hearing aids more accessible and affordable
from Americans with mid to moderate hearing loss. Is what
(19:44):
she said. The critics argued that Warrens bill increased federal
regulation over personal sound amplification products basically just sound amplifiers,
cheap gadgets, and could raise costs for veterans and Medicaid
patients by the potentially limiting coverage for traditional hearing aids.
More than likely, the VA and Medicaid would insist that
(20:06):
the patient tried those cheaper gimmicks, those junk items. First,
Remember they weren't hearing aids before the Act. They were
just sound amplifiers. They're cheap junk like the Bionic Sound.
Remember that.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Remember that one.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Now that would be considered a hearing aid. Do you
consider the Bionic Sound a hearing aid? They also claimed
it favored large corporations like Bows in Massachusetts. Warren and
supporters counted the bill promoted competition and consumer choice, with
FDA oversight ensuring safety. Bows had some sound amplifiers, little
(20:48):
earbuds in the works that potentially could have been covered
under the new Act. Warren more than likely was lobbied
heavily by Bows, And I think everyone thinks that. Then
she got the Act passed, Bo's backed out, sold off
the product, and moved on. It was a mess, and
now we all suffer. And now she parades around peacocking
(21:09):
about how she's for the people. But I suspect and
all signs point to lobbyists pulling her strings and she's
in too deep. Hey, that's just my opinion, but judge
for yourself again, follow her on social media. You'll have
to go back years to find an accomplishment, all while
you go through hundreds, if not thousands of posts of
(21:31):
her yelling about something someone else did or is doing,
and all while doing nothing herself. But if you're constantly
yelling about someone else, then you can't possibly be doing
anything productive. It just makes sense, and that, ladies and gentlemen,
is Elizabeth Warren. But for some reason, mainstream media never
(21:52):
points this out, even though this would be easy, easy news,
calling her out day after day, but none of them do.
But what does mainstream media do well? Unfortunately, propaganda And
at the risk of sounding like a broken record, and also,
I don't care I remind you of the smith Mont
(22:14):
Modernization Act of twenty twelve. I know, I know, I'll
refer to it all the time. You've heard it. Well,
you should, because it's important that you understand that your
very own government uses propaganda on you. The smith Mont
Modernization at Act of twenty twelve amended the US Information
(22:34):
and Education Exchange Act of nineteen forty eight, and now
they're allowed to They allow materials produced by the US
State Department and Broadcasting Board of Governors. Now that's called
the US Agency for Global Media. It allows basically propaganda
that was made for foreign audiences to be released within
(22:54):
the United States. As well. This lifted a long standing
prohibition ontomestic dissemination of such materials, originally intended to prevent
government propaganda from targeting US citizens. The act was introduced
as HR five seven three six by Representative Mark Thornberry
in Texas and Adam Smith of Washington and passed as
(23:19):
part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal year
twenty thirteen, and that was signed into law by President
Barack Obama in January of twenty thirteen. So from that
day forward January second, twenty thirteen, your government has been
using propaganda on you. And if you ask me, and
(23:43):
I know you didn't, I'm gonna tell you anyway. And
I want you to think about this as I did.
I want you to pause, think about it seriously. That's
around the time mainstream media went from reporting the news
to forcing what appears to be just their opinion on us.
You know, think Anderson Cooper. And it's so easy to
(24:03):
find examples all the time. As a matter of fact,
there's a podcasts dedicated to mostly that, and it's one
of my favorites. It's called the No Agenda Podcast, and
they released two episodes every single week on Just Media. Deconstruction.
That's how easy it is to find all this one
(24:25):
blatant example, and I keep thinking of it is all
the crap surrounding Kilmar Armando Albrego Garcia, the Salvadorian national
whose case has drawn significant attention due to his deportation
from the US. Prime example, CBS, of course edited clip
of Christy Nome, and Sky News called them out on it.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
If we need any more evidence of why no one
really trusts the media anymore, let's just look at how
CBS is covering for alleged MS thirteen gang member and
human trafficker Kilma Grego Garcia. This is what went to
air from CBS's interview with Homeland Security Secretary christinoam about
the case.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
And the one thing that we will continue to do
is to make sure that he doesn't walk free in
the United States of America.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
Okay, And this is what CBS deliberately cut out. According
to Christinome.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS thirteen
gang member, an individual who was a wife beater, and
someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos
from minors, and even his fellow human traffickers told him
to knock it off. He was so sick in what
he was doing and how he was treating small children.
So he needs to never be in the United States
(25:44):
of America, and our administration is making sure we're doing
all that we can to bring him to justice.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Well said, So CBS cut out those crucial details. And
why would they do that? Is it to protect this man?
Because the media narrative around him, around this alleged wife
Beta is that he's a Maryland father.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Now those are two totally different clips, right, And it
was a dirty trick. They're just supposed to report the news.
Why would CBFS give a shit either way? They wouldn't
if they were just reporting the news, but that's not
what they do now, they're just they're compromised, you guys,
and it turns into propaganda. Now do you think they
(26:28):
just just did it to this particular story or is
it all the stories from CBS. I know one thing,
they can't be trusted. On October seventh, twenty twenty four,
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on CBS A sixty minutes
interviewed by Bill Whittaker, marking the one year anniversity and
a versary of the Hamas attack on Israel. In a
(26:50):
preview clip of that interview aired on Face the Nation,
Harris responded, quote, well, Bill, the work that we've done
resulted in a number of monument Hey, I've got it,
let's just hold on. She responded one way, okay, and
I'm gonna I'm gonna. I got both clips. This was
(27:10):
criticized as unclear and a meandering word. Salad what she what?
She said? That was unedited? Okay, And that was the
preview clip and her actual answer the correct version. And
this is this is it unedited which previewed like the
morning before or the night before that the real sixty
minutes episode aired. This is unedited.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanya, who is not listening.
The Wall Street Journal said that he that your administration
has repeatedly been blindsided by NETANYAHUO, and in fact, he
has rebuffed just about all of your administrations and treaties.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen
(28:13):
in the region. And we're not going to stop doing that.
We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
the United States to be clear about where we stand
on the need for this war to end.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Huh. And sometime after that preview clip aired, someone did
some editing magic before sixty minutes aired, but the original
answer was already out there and everyone heard it first.
So again CBS got called out over all this as well.
And here's that version, the edited version that they aired
(28:45):
on sixty minutes.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
But it seems that Prime Minister net and Yah, who
is not listening.
Speaker 12 (28:51):
We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
the United States to be clear about where we stand
on the need for this war to end.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Now that's different. Her highly edited, smooth answer just now
eight seconds long, but her actual unedited answer thirty two seconds.
The Oxford Language Dictionary defines propaganda as noun information, especially
(29:21):
of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a
particular cause, doctrine, or point of view. That's CNN, that's Fox,
that's all of them. Let me give you a little cheat.
Let me tell you how you can tell if a
network is switched from reporting the news to distributing propaganda.
(29:45):
If you can tell which party they support by listening
to their reporting. That's propaganda. That is no longer just
the news again. That's Fox Think Greg Guttfeld, and that's CNN.
Thank you, Anderson Cooper. Easy huh, but you already knew it,
You just didn't know to call it propaganda. And now
(30:09):
on top of that propaganda, somehow, Greta Tunenberry is in
the news again, but of course not for anything positive.
On September eighth, her boat called Family Boat, part of
the Global Some Mood Flotilla AH that's carrying Toonberry and
(30:29):
among others, was reportedly struck by an incendiary device off
the Tunisian coast near Citi. Bou said, wherever that's at.
The Global Some Mood Flotilla claimed a drone attack caused
a fire, which was extinguished without injuries. Videos verified by
Al Jazeera and analyzed by BBC verified show an object
(30:52):
striking the vessel, with experts suggesting a drone may have
been involved. Let's look at the initial video. That's that
they claimed was an attack by a drone. Here we go,
(31:17):
now it looks like something Would I call that a
drone attack? No, not right away, So immediately I add questions,
not a whole lot of damage or explosion from what
they claimed was a drone attack, and was this incendiary
munition from the alleged drone because it burned very hot,
(31:39):
but no real damage. It's just weird. But it wasn't
long before Tunisian authorities denied drone attacks started stating that
an initial inspection suggested the explosion originated inside the ship.
Israel did not officially respond to any of these allegations.
And I'll be damned if another video didn't pop up
(31:59):
online and showing the view from on that boat of
what appears to be a man misfiring a flare into
the air, which dropped straight back down onto the boat
and continued to burn as a flair does. And here
is that video. So dumb, freak out. We've fired a drone.
(32:51):
We fired a flair accidentally and it came back on
the boat. Ah Greta played the victim, of course, now
the story is dead in the entire Internet is making
fun of her, which I'm sure will help her cause
whatever that is right now, and she thinks she'll be
able to successfully challenge the Israeli Navy. By the way,
(33:11):
the global some mood flotilla is a large civilian convoy.
Sometimes the report is twenty boats, sometimes the report is
seventy boats, depending you know who cares, carrying pro Palestinian activists,
humanitarian aid and Totingberry herself is part of the steering committee.
The mission, involving participants from forty four countries, departed from Barcelona, Spain,
(33:36):
on August thirty first, well a second wave plan planned
from Tunis, Tunisia on September fourth. They're explicit goals to
sail to Gaza to deliver aid and challenge Israel's naval
blockade of their territory, which actors is described as an
illegal siege, exagperating famine and humanitarian crisis there which is happening.
(34:00):
But greta good luck with that. It might be the
last thing.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
You ever do.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Now it's time for sports.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Starts.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
In nineteen twenty four, University of Illinois running back Harold
Red Grange, nicknamed the Galloping Ghost for his elusive speed,
faced off against Mighty Michigan. Trailing zero to three. Early,
Grange exploded in the second quarter. He dashed forty four
yards to a touchdown, returned the kickoff ninety five yards
(34:35):
for another score and added two more touchdowns on runs
sixty seven and fifty six yards, all in just twelve minutes.
He finished with four hundred and two yards and four touchdowns,
single handedly turning a potential blowout into a forty seven
to six route. This miracle of Memorial Stadium, they call
(34:57):
it caltapulted Grange to national faith inspiring poet grantlin Rice's
iconic line a streak of fire, A breath of flame
that rival hands may never touch. It also boosted college
football's popularity, paving the way for pro leagues like the NFL.
(35:18):
And that's going to do it for this week's sports.
In this week's Soapbox Champion podcast, quote of the Week
is quote only eyes washed by tears can see clearly
end quote. Uh lewis Mann said that an American theater actor,
(35:40):
play Right, an occasional film actor known for his comedic
and dialect roles, and that typically usually dumps us right
into sugar.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Sugar is eight times as active as col cane.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Did you know smiling for thirty seconds can trick your
brain into happier? You probably didn't you know? Now I
think I knew? Who knows? But happiness is deeper than
just smiling. There's an actual science behind it, the science
(36:14):
of happiness. It's a big area of research in psychology, neuroscience,
and even biology. For example, brain chemistry and neurotransmitters. Dopamine,
known as the reward chemical, spikes when you anticipate or
achieve something pleasurable think eating, winning, or completing a goal.
(36:38):
Serotonin link to mood, stability, self esteem, and feelings of calm.
Low levels are often tied to depression. Oxytocin sometimes called
the love hormone, released through bonding, trust, and social connection
like hugs, friendships in timacy, endorphins something you hear about
(37:04):
all the time but don't know anything about. They are
natural painkillers and mood boosters, often released through exercise and laughter.
These chemicals don't make happiness permanent, but they create the
feeling we associate with joy and contentment. Then there are
actual structures of our brains that matters too. The actual
(37:29):
brain itself, as in the organ The prefrontal cortex is
involved in decision making and planning, and it helps regulate
emotions that can influence optimism. Amygdala that processes emotions like
fear and pleasure. Balanced activity is important for well being
in the hippocampus linked to memory stress regulation. Chronic stress
(37:53):
can shrink it, lowering resilience and happiness, and of course
not to be taken lightly. There are psychological factors and
happiness research and positive psychology highlights behaviors and mindsets that
contribute to happiness. Gratitude focusing on what you're thankful for
improves mood and reduces stress flow. Losing yourself in meaningful
(38:18):
activity boosts happiness. Social connection humans are wired for relationships.
Strong bonds predict long term satisfaction, and having a purpose,
having goals, meaning or belonging gives life depth beyond momentary pleasure.
(38:38):
And then there's biological and actual genetic influence. Genetics, believe
it or not, account for forty to fifty percent of
baseline happiness, like your natural set point, that's what you
start out with. Circumstances matter like income and environment, They
influence about ten percent, and then intentional actions belo even
(39:00):
or not make up the room many forty percent. That's
like your positive habits, your mindset, or behaviors. And then
there are the things we hear about all the time. Exercise, sleep, diet, nature, time,
outdoors lower stress and elevates mood. That's absolutely true. So really,
(39:23):
happiness is a mix of brain chemistry, mindset, social connection,
and lifestyle choices. It's not just about feeling good in
the moment, but also about building resilience and meaning over time.
It's a long game, you guys. It is, and it's complicated,
(39:43):
and it's so worth it. And that's why happiness is
this week's sugar, So much sugar, and that Ladies and
Germs is going to do it. For episode two hundred
and two of the Soadbox Champion podcast. Thanks for listening
all of you. Hope you enjoyed it. Hope you learned something.
(40:04):
Maybe you learn how to be happy. Maybe you're missing
one of those pieces. Maybe it's your hippocampus. Probably is.

And talk again next Tuesday. I'll see you.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
That'd be a big clark of Indiana.
Speaker 13 (41:47):
And in this book I found a very interesting sentence.
He said, I never saw a case of cancer and
an unvaccinated person. Now he wrote this at night teen
thirty six, So to me that was quite a revelation.
And other doctors have said the same thing, that vaccination
(42:08):
is really a time bomb within the human system. That
can go off five years, ten years, forty years after
the end of the vaccination. You can have this time
bomb go off. You can have a stroke, heart attack,
because it's always there in your system, you never get
rid of it, and apparently it's always an alien force
in your physique.
Bring out the allumn.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
He's koja is. This is the Soapbox Champion Podcast. Hey everyone,
it's Tuesday, September nine, twenty twenty five. This is episode
two and two of the Soapbox Champion Podcast, recorded live
from good old FEMA Region five. Everyone report in with
(00:48):
your FEMA region, text, voicemail or email a here at
the Soapbox Champion Podcast. We're We're just like you. My
name is Craig Delaney and I only have one speaking voice,
and this is it. What you're hearing is what it is.
What I have is what I have. Take it or
leave it, love it or hate it whatever. Some people
(01:11):
are unique as they have two completely different voices that
can be called upon when needed to fool people or
to be dishonest and Welcome to the pick on Texas
Representative Jasmine Crockett Day. This is Texas Representative Crocket.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
First of all, it's good to see you in the
new year. You know, no one could have told me
that when I went down to Austin now it's like
a little bit over a year ago, that I would
be running for Congress. Maybe because these people they are crazy,
because they always talk about how Christian they is yeah,
I don't know how many am on that side. I
(01:49):
getting divorced because they getting caught up sleeping with their
coworker staff as an turns all the things. Yeah, you
ain't gotta believe me. Just go Google. You'll find some
of it, I'm telling you. In the being messy and pitty.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
What the hell was even that same person the first clip,
second clip, same person. There's a name for that, and
it's called code switching. Code switching is the practice of
alternating between different languages, dialects, or speech styles within a
conversation or context, often adapt to social, cultural, or professional settings.
(02:25):
It's commonly used by individuals navigating multiple cultural identities, such
as switching between formal English in professional settings an informal
or culturally specific vernacular when with friends or family. This
helps individuals connect with different groups or signal belonging. See
(02:46):
like Jasmine Crockett using colloquial speech to resonate with constituents.
This is the old I'm just like you bit, but
it never works. In politics, it can reflect audience setting
or purpose, formal authority, informal relatability, and social aspects. It's
(03:08):
often used to navigate power dynamics to avoid stereotypes or
assert identity, and it comes with much criticism. Some view
it as inauthentic and performative, especially in politics, though it's
natural and inguistic tool for many. But I'm a skeptic
and critic, and I think it's dumb. I just want
(03:31):
the same voice from the same person every time. That
helps to relate, That helps me know who they are
and trust who they are. And I don't care which
voice or dialect just choose. It's fake, it's playing a character,
and it's dumb. It's dishonest. I don't want my representative
(03:53):
to be quote unquote just like me. I don't have
that authority. I can't bring the level of positive change
that they can where they can. I can't pull the
levers at the top level like they can. I want
them to be a little different. My Indiana House District
seventy six representatives, Wendy McNamara, sh holds a bachelor's degree
(04:18):
in political science out of the University of Indianapolis, a
teacher certification from Valprasoe University, and a master's degree in
Education and Educational Leadership from the USI I don't she
isn't like me. Code switching to me, is like the
personal physical version of virtue signaling yeah we hear what
(04:44):
you're saying, we just don't believe you. In other words,
it's really truly and personally fake. Cut it out. Speaking
of deeply personally fake, Rosy o'donald has finally gotten some
pressed since the nineteen nineties A League of their own movie,
(05:05):
super annoying in that movie, and super annoying and ignorant today.
This is how she responded and handled the Minneapolis Catholic
School shooting once she first heard about it.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
So about the Minnesota shooting, and it brought me right
back to Columbine in nineteen ninety nine when I just
could not get it through my head that students in
America were shooting each other in schools, and this was
a church inside a Catholic school. And what do you
(05:37):
know was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person, what do
you know, white supremacist?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Wrong? Excuse me, white girl. If we're being correct, you know,
after the transition there, get with it. Rosie no clear
evident and supports the claim that most shooter suspects in
the US are Republicans. Absolutely none data on mass shooters
political affiliations is often incomplete or unverified, as many perpetrators
(06:12):
don't explicitly align with the political party, so there's no
way to know. For example, a twenty eighteen PolitiFact analysis
found that of nineteen high profile mass shooting since nineteen
ninety nine, only a few had verified political ties. One
shooter was a registered Democrat, another identified as a Republican
(06:32):
on a dating profile, and a third was described as
quote more of a liberal type end quote by a friend,
but most lacked clear partisan affiliation. Experts like James Allen Fox,
a criminologist at Northeastern University, emphasized that mass shootings are
rarely driven by political ideology, with personal grievances, mental health issues, ding, ding,
(06:57):
and other non political motives being more common. That plus,
Rosie being one of the most annoying human beings on earth,
really pissed everyone off, so much so that her and
her cold sore had to get back on and do
a fake apology.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Hi everybody, it's Rosie O'Donnell, star of the Flintstones. Listen,
I have a cold star. I know happens, get run
down gross Anyway, I know a lot of you were
very upset about the video I made before I went
away for a few days. I didn't go online and
haven't seen them till today.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
But you are right.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I did not do my due diligence before I made
that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter
that were incorrect. I assumed, like most shooters, they followed
a standard mo O and had standard you know, feelings
of you know, uh NRA love and kind of gun people. Anyway,
(08:00):
t is I messed up. And when you mess up,
you fess up. I'm sorry. This is my apology video video,
and I hope it's enough.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, super gross in almost every way. According to the
Magic eight ball, Rosie is most likely insane. It's literally
what came up for me just now, So you know
it's true, so out of touch, so feelingless, so disgusting,
such an ingenuine apology. Hey guess what. I'm a gun
(08:33):
loving guy. I love him. I love him old, I
love him broken, I love him brand new. I love
them dirty, I love to clean them. Also, I hate
the NRA. Who is asking? And I mean this, and
I really am curious, sincerely, who is out there asking
for her opinion or on anything? What makes her think
(08:55):
anyone wants to hear her opinion. Now I get it.
Who wants to hear mine? Who wants to hear anyone's opinion?
I told you I get it. Probably no one. But
you know where to get it right here on my podcast.
And you don't have to. You just got to go
looking for it. I don't put it out there and say, hey,
you ask for this episode here I am. You need
(09:15):
to put forth effort to get my opinion. She just
puts it on social media and makes it sound like
millions of people are glued to x refreshing her profile
just to get her thoughts. No one is rosie, Rosie.
You need to get a diary, then you can hide
and no one has to read it. And before we
let her off the hook, we'll hear from her one
(09:37):
more time, so we'll get all the rosy stuff out
of the way. She has a history of Damassari.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
You know his assassination attempt. A man died during that
assassination attempt, A man died.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, and it wasn't him.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Yeah, he am miraculously healed, ladies and gentlemen. Will anyone
in the news ever say that without couching it his ear?
Miraculously regenerated people? What else do you.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Need You just heard derangement. That's derange it and more specifically,
it's Trump derangement syndrome. And we can't get away with
playing that SoundBite without playing this next one, and then
we'll move on. It's from joy read that I'll enjoy
talking about her covering, but from MSNBC. They they keep
(10:31):
moving her around because no one likes her, and she'll
be in the basement soon muttering about a stapler.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
He's got these magical doctors who claim that he was
shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess crew back.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
He had a du blow bandage on one minute, no
bandage the next.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
We can't get a medical record from this alleged assassination.
He was supposedly shot.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We've got one.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Where's the annagative where the investigative.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Records a lot of use of the words supposedly, even
though we all watched him a very live TV. Okay,
you're y'all are crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Senate Finance Committee hearing involving Robert F. Kennedy Junior on
September fourth, as the US Health and Human Services Secretary.
Rfk Junior faced intense questioning from both Republican and Democratic
senators regarding his controversial vaccine policies, the recent firing of
the CDC director Susan Monez, and leadership changes at the CDC.
(11:29):
Ah all welcome changes. By the way, if you're to
speaking of opinions, here's mine. All welcome changes. There welcome changes.
You know, only if you're interested in the health of taxpayers.
Only if you're interested in that, are they welcome changes.
If you're interested in anything other than the health of
(11:51):
US citizens, then they're welcome. But if you're not interested
in the health of citizens and taxpayers, then they're not welcome.
So that paint you what it paints you know what
I'm saying. But the best part and the reason I'm
bringing this up, Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned Junior, and she
sounded rude, ignorant, loud, and fake. And I'm going to
(12:13):
play the whole clip. It's long, but it's worth it,
and it's a payoff, and it's exactly why I can't
stand Senator Warren.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Senator Warren, thank you, mister Chairman.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
So last November, while you are under consideration to become
Secretary of Health and Human Services, mister Kennedy, you said,
quote if vaccines are working for somebody, I'm not going
to take them away, no exceptions, no if SAMs or butts.
You would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them. Then,
(12:50):
last week you announced that the COVID nineteen vaccine is
no longer a proof for healthy people under the age
of sixty five. In announcing the change, you said the
vaccine will be available for anyone who wants it. Now.
Obviously both things cannot be true at the same moment,
So let's clear this up right now. Secretary Kennedy, will
(13:10):
you tell America that all adults and all children over
six months of age are eligible to get a COVID
booster at their local pharmacy today.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Anybody can get the booster. I'm sorry, anybody can get
it anybody.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
So you're saying that is now the official rule of HHS.
Anybody is eligible to get a booster by just walking
into the pharmacy.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It's not recommended for healthy people.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
No. No, If you don't recommend, then the consequence of
that in many states is that you can't walk into
a pharmacy and get one. It means insurance companies don't
have to cover the two hundred dollars or so cost.
As Senator doctor Cassidy said, you are effectively denying people vaccines.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
We're not going to recommend the product for which there's
no clinical data for that indication, which is that what
I should be doing, what you should be.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Doing is honoring your promise that you made when you
were looking to get confirmed in this job.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
You're going like this. That is, you promised that you would.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them. You
just changed the classification of the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I'm not taking them away from people, Senator.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
It takes it away if you can't get it from
your pharmacy.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Well, most Americans are going to be able to get
it from their pharmacy for free dollars. Most Americans will
be able to get it from their pharmacy.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
Fore, Christian is everyone who wants it. That was your promise.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
I no identity. I never promised that I was going
to recommend products with which there is in.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Our own occasion.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
When you said, and I know you've taken eight hundred
and fifty five thousand dollars from pharmaceutical company, Senator, did.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
You hold up a big sign saying that you were
lying when you said that, because you are the one
who said you would not take them away.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Now, Senator, I'm not taking them away from that.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Secretary, You'll you want me to indicate a product for
which there is no clinical data.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
Senators, Secretary Kennedy, you said you wouldn't, and now you did.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm not taking them away. Everybody can get access to them.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
No, they can't walk into a pharmacy the way they
could last month and get access.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It depends on the state. It depends on the states
a year ago. They can still get it. Everybody can
get it. Go, everybody can get it, Senator.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
So look, let's move on. You clearly are taking away vaccines.
I've seen the list for what's coming up next, and
that is the agenda for the next CDC Vaccine Panel.
And first up is ratifying your COVID actions. Second is
hepatitis B is on the agenda. So should America expect
(16:00):
you to take away hepatitis vaccine access as well, even
though you promised not to.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
As I said, I'm not taking vaccines away from anybody.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
The same answer, right, You're just going to deny that
when people can't get access that you're not taking it away.
Then let me ask you, is that the same game
you're going to play with me?
Speaker 9 (16:21):
You are, and so you want me to recommend every
product in the world.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Without any clinical trial.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Data, brow on your promises.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, my promise was to give it months ago.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
We could get covid vaccines by just walking.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You can still get covid vaccine. Senator, taking that away,
Oh you are still You can still get the covid vaccines.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Care will still pay for them, and medicids will shall the.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
Head of the CDC that if she refused to sign
off on your changes to the childhood vaccine schedule that
she had to resign. No.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
I told her that she had to resign because I
asked her, are you a trustworthy person?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And she said no. If you had an.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
Employee who told you they weren't trustworthy, would you ask
them to resign?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Senator.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
So I'm sorry, but this is not what she has
said publicly.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I'm not surprised about that.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
So you're saying she's not.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yes, every conversation I had with her that were with.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Yes, just straight.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
This is the same person that less than a month
earlier you stood next to her and described her as
unimpeachable and you had full confidence in her, and that
you had full confidence in her scientific credentials, and in
a month she became a liar.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, we should ask her what changed.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
And by the way, a month ago you were voting
against her because you thought she was either incompetent, ineligible,
or unsuited to the task.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
I stream, but I was afraid she was going to
bend the need to you and Donald Trump. And it
looks like she didn't bend the knee, so.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
You fired her.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
Look, you are putting America's baby's health at risk, America's
senior's health at risk, all Americans health at risk, and
you should resign.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Okay, this is all she does online in real life
all the time. She just gripes, moans, gets loud and interrupts.
I really truly think she lost her mind. Somewhere along
the line, somewhere between Trump and RFK Junior, she lost
(18:38):
her mind. Go follow her, follow her on X see
all that she does because she posts everything and it's nothing.
Did you catch Junior calling her out on eight hundred
thousand dollars from pharma? That's when she says things like that.
Moving on, I'm just interrupt, she says, that all the time.
Listen for that. If she says moving on means she
(19:00):
was defeated and she wants to change the subject, But
she never does change the subject. That's her way of
talking over the person, hoping we don't hear what was said.
Her biography says she remains a vocal critic of corporate
power and economic inequality. But real life says that she
takes hundreds of thousands of dollars from Big Pharma and
(19:23):
from all those fake hearing aid manufacturers. Remember that that
was the over the Counter Hearing Aid Act of twenty seventeen.
See I don't forget because I cover this stuff. She
was working to make hearing aids more accessible and affordable
from Americans with mid to moderate hearing loss. Is what
(19:44):
she said. The critics argued that Warrens bill increased federal
regulation over personal sound amplification products basically just sound amplifiers,
cheap gadgets, and could raise costs for veterans and Medicaid
patients by the potentially limiting coverage for traditional hearing aids.
More than likely, the VA and Medicaid would insist that
(20:06):
the patient tried those cheaper gimmicks, those junk items. First,
Remember they weren't hearing aids before the Act. They were
just sound amplifiers. They're cheap junk like the Bionic Sound.
Remember that.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Remember that one.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Now that would be considered a hearing aid. Do you
consider the Bionic Sound a hearing aid? They also claimed
it favored large corporations like Bows in Massachusetts. Warren and
supporters counted the bill promoted competition and consumer choice, with
FDA oversight ensuring safety. Bows had some sound amplifiers, little
(20:48):
earbuds in the works that potentially could have been covered
under the new Act. Warren more than likely was lobbied
heavily by Bows, And I think everyone thinks that. Then
she got the Act passed, Bo's backed out, sold off
the product, and moved on. It was a mess, and
now we all suffer. And now she parades around peacocking
(21:09):
about how she's for the people. But I suspect and
all signs point to lobbyists pulling her strings and she's
in too deep. Hey, that's just my opinion, but judge
for yourself again, follow her on social media. You'll have
to go back years to find an accomplishment, all while
you go through hundreds, if not thousands of posts of
(21:31):
her yelling about something someone else did or is doing,
and all while doing nothing herself. But if you're constantly
yelling about someone else, then you can't possibly be doing
anything productive. It just makes sense, and that, ladies and gentlemen,
is Elizabeth Warren. But for some reason, mainstream media never
(21:52):
points this out, even though this would be easy, easy news,
calling her out day after day, but none of them do.
But what does mainstream media do well? Unfortunately, propaganda And
at the risk of sounding like a broken record, and also,
I don't care I remind you of the smith Mont
(22:14):
Modernization Act of twenty twelve. I know, I know, I'll
refer to it all the time. You've heard it. Well,
you should, because it's important that you understand that your
very own government uses propaganda on you. The smith Mont
Modernization at Act of twenty twelve amended the US Information
(22:34):
and Education Exchange Act of nineteen forty eight, and now
they're allowed to They allow materials produced by the US
State Department and Broadcasting Board of Governors. Now that's called
the US Agency for Global Media. It allows basically propaganda
that was made for foreign audiences to be released within
(22:54):
the United States. As well. This lifted a long standing
prohibition ontomestic dissemination of such materials, originally intended to prevent
government propaganda from targeting US citizens. The act was introduced
as HR five seven three six by Representative Mark Thornberry
in Texas and Adam Smith of Washington and passed as
(23:19):
part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal year
twenty thirteen, and that was signed into law by President
Barack Obama in January of twenty thirteen. So from that
day forward January second, twenty thirteen, your government has been
using propaganda on you. And if you ask me, and
(23:43):
I know you didn't, I'm gonna tell you anyway. And
I want you to think about this as I did.
I want you to pause, think about it seriously. That's
around the time mainstream media went from reporting the news
to forcing what appears to be just their opinion on us.
You know, think Anderson Cooper. And it's so easy to
(24:03):
find examples all the time. As a matter of fact,
there's a podcasts dedicated to mostly that, and it's one
of my favorites. It's called the No Agenda Podcast, and
they released two episodes every single week on Just Media. Deconstruction.
That's how easy it is to find all this one
(24:25):
blatant example, and I keep thinking of it is all
the crap surrounding Kilmar Armando Albrego Garcia, the Salvadorian national
whose case has drawn significant attention due to his deportation
from the US. Prime example, CBS, of course edited clip
of Christy Nome, and Sky News called them out on it.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
If we need any more evidence of why no one
really trusts the media anymore, let's just look at how
CBS is covering for alleged MS thirteen gang member and
human trafficker Kilma Grego Garcia. This is what went to
air from CBS's interview with Homeland Security Secretary christinoam about
the case.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
And the one thing that we will continue to do
is to make sure that he doesn't walk free in
the United States of America.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
Okay, And this is what CBS deliberately cut out. According
to Christinome.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS thirteen
gang member, an individual who was a wife beater, and
someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos
from minors, and even his fellow human traffickers told him
to knock it off. He was so sick in what
he was doing and how he was treating small children.
So he needs to never be in the United States
(25:44):
of America, and our administration is making sure we're doing
all that we can to bring him to justice.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Well said, So CBS cut out those crucial details. And
why would they do that? Is it to protect this man?
Because the media narrative around him, around this alleged wife
Beta is that he's a Maryland father.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Now those are two totally different clips, right, And it
was a dirty trick. They're just supposed to report the news.
Why would CBFS give a shit either way? They wouldn't
if they were just reporting the news, but that's not
what they do now, they're just they're compromised, you guys,
and it turns into propaganda. Now do you think they
(26:28):
just just did it to this particular story or is
it all the stories from CBS. I know one thing,
they can't be trusted. On October seventh, twenty twenty four,
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on CBS A sixty minutes
interviewed by Bill Whittaker, marking the one year anniversity and
a versary of the Hamas attack on Israel. In a
(26:50):
preview clip of that interview aired on Face the Nation,
Harris responded, quote, well, Bill, the work that we've done
resulted in a number of monument Hey, I've got it,
let's just hold on. She responded one way, okay, and
I'm gonna I'm gonna. I got both clips. This was
(27:10):
criticized as unclear and a meandering word. Salad what she what?
She said? That was unedited? Okay, And that was the
preview clip and her actual answer the correct version. And
this is this is it unedited which previewed like the
morning before or the night before that the real sixty
minutes episode aired. This is unedited.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanya, who is not listening.
The Wall Street Journal said that he that your administration
has repeatedly been blindsided by NETANYAHUO, and in fact, he
has rebuffed just about all of your administrations and treaties.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen
(28:13):
in the region. And we're not going to stop doing that.
We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
the United States to be clear about where we stand
on the need for this war to end.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Huh. And sometime after that preview clip aired, someone did
some editing magic before sixty minutes aired, but the original
answer was already out there and everyone heard it first.
So again CBS got called out over all this as well.
And here's that version, the edited version that they aired
(28:45):
on sixty minutes.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
But it seems that Prime Minister net and Yah, who
is not listening.
Speaker 12 (28:51):
We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
the United States to be clear about where we stand
on the need for this war to end.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Now that's different. Her highly edited, smooth answer just now
eight seconds long, but her actual unedited answer thirty two seconds.
The Oxford Language Dictionary defines propaganda as noun information, especially
(29:21):
of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a
particular cause, doctrine, or point of view. That's CNN, that's Fox,
that's all of them. Let me give you a little cheat.
Let me tell you how you can tell if a
network is switched from reporting the news to distributing propaganda.
(29:45):
If you can tell which party they support by listening
to their reporting. That's propaganda. That is no longer just
the news again. That's Fox Think Greg Guttfeld, and that's CNN.
Thank you, Anderson Cooper. Easy huh, but you already knew it,
You just didn't know to call it propaganda. And now
(30:09):
on top of that propaganda, somehow, Greta Tunenberry is in
the news again, but of course not for anything positive.
On September eighth, her boat called Family Boat, part of
the Global Some Mood Flotilla AH that's carrying Toonberry and
(30:29):
among others, was reportedly struck by an incendiary device off
the Tunisian coast near Citi. Bou said, wherever that's at.
The Global Some Mood Flotilla claimed a drone attack caused
a fire, which was extinguished without injuries. Videos verified by
Al Jazeera and analyzed by BBC verified show an object
(30:52):
striking the vessel, with experts suggesting a drone may have
been involved. Let's look at the initial video. That's that
they claimed was an attack by a drone. Here we go,
(31:17):
now it looks like something Would I call that a
drone attack? No, not right away, So immediately I add questions,
not a whole lot of damage or explosion from what
they claimed was a drone attack, and was this incendiary
munition from the alleged drone because it burned very hot,
(31:39):
but no real damage. It's just weird. But it wasn't
long before Tunisian authorities denied drone attacks started stating that
an initial inspection suggested the explosion originated inside the ship.
Israel did not officially respond to any of these allegations.
And I'll be damned if another video didn't pop up
(31:59):
online and showing the view from on that boat of
what appears to be a man misfiring a flare into
the air, which dropped straight back down onto the boat
and continued to burn as a flair does. And here
is that video. So dumb, freak out. We've fired a drone.
(32:51):
We fired a flair accidentally and it came back on
the boat. Ah Greta played the victim, of course, now
the story is dead in the entire Internet is making
fun of her, which I'm sure will help her cause
whatever that is right now, and she thinks she'll be
able to successfully challenge the Israeli Navy. By the way,
(33:11):
the global some mood flotilla is a large civilian convoy.
Sometimes the report is twenty boats, sometimes the report is
seventy boats, depending you know who cares, carrying pro Palestinian activists,
humanitarian aid and Totingberry herself is part of the steering committee.
The mission, involving participants from forty four countries, departed from Barcelona, Spain,
(33:36):
on August thirty first, well a second wave plan planned
from Tunis, Tunisia on September fourth. They're explicit goals to
sail to Gaza to deliver aid and challenge Israel's naval
blockade of their territory, which actors is described as an
illegal siege, exagperating famine and humanitarian crisis there which is happening.
(34:00):
But greta good luck with that. It might be the
last thing.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
You ever do.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Now it's time for sports.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Starts.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
In nineteen twenty four, University of Illinois running back Harold
Red Grange, nicknamed the Galloping Ghost for his elusive speed,
faced off against Mighty Michigan. Trailing zero to three. Early,
Grange exploded in the second quarter. He dashed forty four
yards to a touchdown, returned the kickoff ninety five yards
(34:35):
for another score and added two more touchdowns on runs
sixty seven and fifty six yards, all in just twelve minutes.
He finished with four hundred and two yards and four touchdowns,
single handedly turning a potential blowout into a forty seven
to six route. This miracle of Memorial Stadium, they call
(34:57):
it caltapulted Grange to national faith inspiring poet grantlin Rice's
iconic line a streak of fire, A breath of flame
that rival hands may never touch. It also boosted college
football's popularity, paving the way for pro leagues like the NFL.
(35:18):
And that's going to do it for this week's sports.
In this week's Soapbox Champion podcast, quote of the Week
is quote only eyes washed by tears can see clearly
end quote. Uh lewis Mann said that an American theater actor,
(35:40):
play Right, an occasional film actor known for his comedic
and dialect roles, and that typically usually dumps us right
into sugar.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Sugar is eight times as active as col cane.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Did you know smiling for thirty seconds can trick your
brain into happier? You probably didn't you know? Now I
think I knew? Who knows? But happiness is deeper than
just smiling. There's an actual science behind it, the science
(36:14):
of happiness. It's a big area of research in psychology, neuroscience,
and even biology. For example, brain chemistry and neurotransmitters. Dopamine,
known as the reward chemical, spikes when you anticipate or
achieve something pleasurable think eating, winning, or completing a goal.
(36:38):
Serotonin link to mood, stability, self esteem, and feelings of calm.
Low levels are often tied to depression. Oxytocin sometimes called
the love hormone, released through bonding, trust, and social connection
like hugs, friendships in timacy, endorphins something you hear about
(37:04):
all the time but don't know anything about. They are
natural painkillers and mood boosters, often released through exercise and laughter.
These chemicals don't make happiness permanent, but they create the
feeling we associate with joy and contentment. Then there are
actual structures of our brains that matters too. The actual
(37:29):
brain itself, as in the organ The prefrontal cortex is
involved in decision making and planning, and it helps regulate
emotions that can influence optimism. Amygdala that processes emotions like
fear and pleasure. Balanced activity is important for well being
in the hippocampus linked to memory stress regulation. Chronic stress
(37:53):
can shrink it, lowering resilience and happiness, and of course
not to be taken lightly. There are psychological factors and
happiness research and positive psychology highlights behaviors and mindsets that
contribute to happiness. Gratitude focusing on what you're thankful for
improves mood and reduces stress flow. Losing yourself in meaningful
(38:18):
activity boosts happiness. Social connection humans are wired for relationships.
Strong bonds predict long term satisfaction, and having a purpose,
having goals, meaning or belonging gives life depth beyond momentary pleasure.
(38:38):
And then there's biological and actual genetic influence. Genetics, believe
it or not, account for forty to fifty percent of
baseline happiness, like your natural set point, that's what you
start out with. Circumstances matter like income and environment, They
influence about ten percent, and then intentional actions belo even
(39:00):
or not make up the room many forty percent. That's
like your positive habits, your mindset, or behaviors. And then
there are the things we hear about all the time. Exercise, sleep, diet, nature, time,
outdoors lower stress and elevates mood. That's absolutely true. So really,
(39:23):
happiness is a mix of brain chemistry, mindset, social connection,
and lifestyle choices. It's not just about feeling good in
the moment, but also about building resilience and meaning over time.
It's a long game, you guys. It is, and it's complicated,
(39:43):
and it's so worth it. And that's why happiness is
this week's sugar, So much sugar, and that Ladies and
Germs is going to do it. For episode two hundred
and two of the Soadbox Champion podcast. Thanks for listening
all of you. Hope you enjoyed it. Hope you learned something.
(40:04):
Maybe you learn how to be happy. Maybe you're missing
one of those pieces. Maybe it's your hippocampus. Probably is.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
That'd be a big clark of Indiana.
Speaker 13 (41:47):
And in this book I found a very interesting sentence.
He said, I never saw a case of cancer and
an unvaccinated person. Now he wrote this at night teen
thirty six, So to me that was quite a revelation.
And other doctors have said the same thing, that vaccination
(42:08):
is really a time bomb within the human system. That
can go off five years, ten years, forty years after
the end of the vaccination. You can have this time
bomb go off. You can have a stroke, heart attack,
because it's always there in your system, you never get
rid of it, and apparently it's always an alien force
in your physique.
