(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly went under the knife Sunday for prostate removal surgery.
On Wednesday, the 75-year-old leader of embattled Israel was “diagnosed with a urinary tract infection resulting from a benign prostate enlargement” at Hadassah Hospital, according to a statement from his office reported by CBS News.
“As a result, the prime minister will undergo prostate removal surgery tomorrow,” the statement reportedly read.

Netanyahu’s prostate surgery was successful, according to multiplereports late Sunday.
Netanyahu’s surgery was not the Israeli leader’s first time on the operating table, according to CBS News. In August, the Israeli prime minister underwent hernia surgery. In July 2023, a health scare led to doctors implanting a pacemaker in Netanyahu’s chest.
Israel has been at war with Islamic terrorists ever since terror group Hamas launched a deadly attack in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023. Nearly 1,200 people were killed in the assault on southern Israel, according to the outlet, and dozens of hostages were reportedly taken, with some still captured and others believed to be dead.
Netanyahu’s surgery is not unprecedented as other elderly politicians have struggled with health issues this December. In the U.S., former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, underwent hip replacement surgery overseas in Luxembourg while on a trip commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, according to her office.
“Earlier this morning, Speaker Emerita Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement and is well on the mend,” Pelosi spokesperson Ian Krager said in a Dec. 14 statement.
Speaker Pelosi is enjoying the overwhelming outpouring of prayers and well wishes and is ever determined to ensure access to quality health care for all Americans.
He added, “Speaker Pelosi is grateful to U.S. military staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base and medical staff at Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg for their excellent care and kindness.”

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Costco refused to back down on its diversity, equity and inclusion program ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, despite other major companies curtailing identity politics-based policies following the Republican’s reelection.
Costco’s board of directors called on company shareholders to vote against a proposal to stop the “discriminatory practices” that often favor minority races and women, according to an annual notice to shareholders from the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative organization.
The pro-GOP group requested that Costco release a report detailing the risks of maintaining its DEI policies. This comes as other retail giants like Walmart, Lowe’s and Harley Davidson have announced plans to walk away from DEI policies, The Hill reported, as Americans rail against the Biden-era initiative in favor of merit-based business.
“It’s clear that DEI holds litigation, reputational and financial risks to the Company, and therefore financial risks to shareholders,” the National Center for Public Policy Research wrote in its proposal to Costco, referencing the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action at college institutions as justification.
Costco plans to “rebrand” DEI as “People and Communities” to protect itself from the newfound negative stigma of its “discriminatory practices” and “racial discrimination,” the National Center for Public Policy Research stated.
🚨BREAKING: Costco board of directors recommended that its shareholders not vote for the end of its large DEI program.
Hell no! Absolutely not! Boycott Costco! Cancel your membership! Nothing can stop We The People to Make America Great Again! pic.twitter.com/3uLDHie25W
The group added that demographics unfairly affected by Costco’s race and gender bias could sue the retailer for billions of dollars, according to the report.
“With 310,000 employees, Costco likely has at least 200,000 employees who are potentially victims of this type of illegal discrimination because they are white, Asian, male or straight,” the conservative group said.
Costco lashed out at the National Center for Public Policy Research for “inflicting burdens” on companies through “policy bias,” according to The Hill.
“The proponent’s broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives,” the company’s board of directors shot back.
Costco’s shareholders will vote on its DEI policies in late January.
Trump’s second inauguration is slated for Jan. 20, 2025.

With close contemporaries of the 83-year-old rock ‘n’ roll bard—including The Band’s Robbie Robertson, Kris Kristofferson and the Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh—having expired recently, there is a sense of inevitable anticipation pervasive in pop culture that another living legend will soon fade.
Thus, the requisite legacy-making process has commenced, most recently with the newly released Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet.
The movie is being unabashedly promoted as Oscar bait, following the success of past biopics like Ray, Walk the Line and Bohemian Rhapsody. It is directed and co-produced by Walk the Line filmmaker James Mangold.
Over the past two decades, biopics—and specifically those of notable contemporary musicians—have been the go-to medium for so-called prestige films, even becoming something of a parody of themselves. (Consider the blatant “best actor” campaign by Bradley Cooper with last year’s Maestro, which eventually lost to Cillian Murphy’s performance in the eponymous Oppenheimer biopic.)
Dylan himself won an Oscar in 2001, for “Things Have Changed,” off the Wonder Boys soundtrack—one of a litany of accolades that includes his distinction as the only professional musician, to date, to have received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Chalamet, 29, was previously nominated for best actor in 2017, portraying the victim of a gay, pedophilic relationship in the groomer-sympathetic Call Me by Your Name.
He has since become one of Hollywood’s most marketable stars, his waifish look calling to mind the sudden rise from relative obscurity of Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1990s—or, indeed, Dylan in the 1960s.
Long overdue Edward Norton, as folk patriarch Pete Seeger, is also likely to invite a nod from the Academy. Elle Fanning’s “Sylvie,” however—loosely based on Dylan ex-flame Suze Rotolo—may be a bit more complicated.
BREAKING THE BIOPIC MOLD
Unlike past biopics—including Reese Witherspoon’s best-actress-winning turn as June Carter Cash—the Dylan biopic does not paint a readily available love story. The romantic tension that it attempts to establish winds up with Dylan choosing fame over both the women in his life (the other being Joan Baez, portrayed by Hollywood neophyte Monica Barbaro in one of her first starring roles).
Dylan would go on to marry another woman—Sara Lownds—in an equally tempestuous love story that was touched on in 2007’s I’m Not There. His relationships following the couple’s 1977 divorce, including a six-year marriage to former backup singer Carol Dennis, have been more muted.
But in A Complete Unknown, covering the period from the Minnesota native’s 1961 arrival in New York’s Greenwich Village through the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, when he first went “electric,” the central focus is on the singer–songwriter’s transformation of folk music and subsequent abandonment of the genre as it grew more dependent on the cult of personality surrounding the performer himself.
At a pivotal moment, Chalamet’s Dylan decides to ignore the parable-preaching Seeger, instead heeding the advice of his pen-pal (and fellow future biopic star) Johnny Cash (portrayed by Boyd Holbrook).
Cash tells Dylan to “track some mud on the carpet”—i.e. sully up the purity of the folk-music movement, in order to create something new and unique that ultimately will, as history has shown, vastly eclipse the genre that helped launch him from obscurity.
Conflating the climactic 1965 Newport concert with a 1966 concert at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England, the film depicts an audience member calling out “Judas,” to which Dylan responds, “I don’t believe you.”
While complexities abound in both of the plot threads—Dylan’s love life and his role in the broader cultural transformation of the 1960s—the underlying message is simple: The trajectory of a genius at work—which will lead, in retrospect, to the times a-changing—also demands that the old guard get out of the way.
‘I CONTAIN MULTITUDES’
Many in the so-called MAGA movement will, no doubt, scoff at the notion of linking a Bob Dylan biopic intended as Hollywood onanism to the current political climate.
As one Zero Hedge reader, thoughtful enough to comment on my recent list of the “9 Most MAGA-Friendly Christmas Movies,” observed: “There will be a million more MAGA grifters trying to Capitalize on Trumps [sic] win with their spin, especially when CNN and MSNBC go down for the count.”
The distrust and disdain for anything coming out of Hollywood is justifiable, and since the movie was clearly filmed prior to the Nov. 5 election, any parallels between Dylan and President-elect Donald Trump are likely unintentional on the part of the filmmakers themselves.
Dylan’s politics are as fluid as his musical influences, his romances, and even his biographical details. (He tells several of the characters in the film that he learned to play music while working at a carnival—part of his own commentary on the murky line between the public artist and the private individual, which he has consistently emphasized throughout his 64-year career, including his participation in a quasi-fictitious 2019 “documentary” produced by Martin Scorsese.)
Following his breakup with the far-left Rotolo, Dylan largely disavowed his own significance to the civil-rights struggle and other social-justice causes. But he has never repudiated left-wing politics altogether in the rare instances when he has tipped his political hand publicly.
He prominently acquiesced to a Barack Obama photo op when accepting a 2012 Presidential Medal of Freedom. And in 2020, Dylan’s eldest son, Jesse, released a flattering George Soros documentary, in which he characterized the corrupt oligarch as “one of the biggest actors for good the world has ever known.”
Still, as Dylan sings in a song from his most recent album (for which he just wrapped a three-year tour), borrowing a line from Walt Whitman, “I contain multitudes.”
The only thing consistently Dylanesque is the contrarian spirit that refuses to be pigeon-holed by those seeking to project onto him their own vision of what broader societal values he should represent.
VICE-VERSA ON VISAS
In the aftermath of Trump’s historic re-election, recent fissures in the MAGA movement now seem to be mirroring the 1960s folk scene. With the order a-rapidly fading, some of the very people who elected a political disruptor to do their bidding may experience buyer’s remorse.
Following the recent suggestion by Trump megadonor Elon Musk that the country needed to expand its H1-B skilled-worker visa program, X users erupted, many of them Trump supporters who slammed the tech entrepreneur for undermining one of the central tenets of the “America First” platform.
Unlike leftist open-border policies—which have gone fully off the deep-end during the Biden administration, making rational dialogue and compromise an impossibility—both sides have made valid points for and against the expansion of the HB-1 visa program.
Proponents note the overall reliance on foreign labor in elite jobs where America has long since yielded its competitive edge due to cultural rot and declines in the education system.
Some, on the other hand, have pointed out rampant abuse of the H1-B system has allowed foreign labor into the U.S. to perform highly skilled jobs such as janitorial work. They further argue that allowing foreign labor to undercut U.S. workers in pursuit of high-level jobs is the root cause of the problem, as it has disincentivized Americans from pursuing them.
With longtime Trump adviser and thought-leader Steve Bannon among those leading the charge (after X appeared to deplatform right-wing activist–journalist Laura Loomer), Musk was forced unexpectedly onto the defensive.
Bannon called for the total eradication of the skilled-worker program, saying “The H-1B visa program is a total and complete scam concocted by the Lords of Easy Money on Wall Street and the oligarchs in Silicon Valley,” according to Mediaite.
By Saturday, the infighting had appeared to turn vicious as the public debate raged. Musk—the world’s richest man, a legal immigrant and a red-pilled, come-lately Trump supporter—used himself as an example to put immigration policy into perspective.
The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.
Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot…
A poll by former Trump spokesman Sean Spicer, now a Newsmax personality, suggested that X users favored calls to end the program by a roughly two-to-one margin.
Musk, who conceded that the program was in need of reform, also made the case, however, that many of those who were voicing their opinions had, at best, limited knowledge of the nuances surrounding the issue.
Trump—who had a mixed record of restricting the H1-B program during his first term while advocating for it in at least one discussion on the 2024 campaign trail—weighed in on the side of Musk, telling the New York Post in an interview that he had always favored it.
“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said.
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties,” he continued. “I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program.”
GENUISES AT WORK?
On the heels of another heated discussion recently over Congress’s continuing resolution to fund the government, which saw many break with Trump over an increase of the debt ceiling (and his support for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.), the H1-B debate made one thing clear: There will be no easy answers and simple solutions for Trump to placate the idealogically diverse coalition of supporters who swept him back in to power.
But the MAGA purists in Bannon’s camp must bear in mind that the very reason Trump has been a transformative figure in American politics is his willingness to ruffle feathers and go against the grain.
Trump assuredly will attempt to keep his promises with regard to the mass deportation of illegal immigrants—particularly those who have continued to violate U.S. laws. His success in this area will depend on the extent to which the GOP base—and the public at large—supports him.
Yet, those expecting him to adhere to a reductivist immigration agenda that would hinder American economic strength on the world stage have not been paying very close attention.
Undoubtedly, Trump will come out in favor of whatever gives America the most competitive edge, with the long-range view that economic domination will boost public morale, restore America’s identity as a global superpower, and empower citizens to better themselves in service of the broader national objectives.
As with the folk-music faction who felt betrayed by Dylan’s defection to rock ‘n’ roll, the paradigm shift that Trump’s macroscopic vision requires may seem to some like betrayals of the core causes for which they supported him.
But for the former Manhattan real-estate mogul, the first step in building something as monumental as Trump Tower requires tracking a little bit of mud on the carpet.
(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Outgoing President Joe Biden reportedly regrets his decision to exit the 2024 presidential race, claiming that, unlike Vice President Kamala Harris, he could have defeated President-elect Donald Trump.
Biden has voiced his regret in “recent days,” according to anonymous sources cited by the liberal Washington Post on Saturday. He is expected to relinquish the White House to Trump on Jan. 20, 2025.
Biden withdrew from the 2024 race amid what many have described as a “coup d’état,” with powerful Democratic politicians demanding he step aside, citing concerns over his age. At 81, Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history.
The argument was that a much younger and more popular Democrat would have a greater chance of beating Trump in 2024. These predictions backfired spectacularly.
Shortly after announcing his departure, Biden endorsed Harris as his successor, effectively blocking other Democrats from seeking the nomination. Harris’s campaign failed to gain traction, leading to Trump’s landslide victory.
Despite his frustration, Biden has “been careful not to place blame on Harris or her campaign.”
Many Democrats, however, blame Trump’s victory on Biden’s decision not to exit the race earlier in the year.
“Biden ran on the promise that he was going to be a transitional president, and in effect, have one term before handing it off to another generation,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., in an interview with The Post.
“I think his running again broke that concept — the conceptual underpinning of the theory that he would end the Trump appeal, he would defeat Trumpism and enable a new era,” Blumenthal added.
The pressure to oust Biden came from some of the most powerful figures in the Democratic Party, including former President Barack Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Adding to this pressure were celebrities like George Clooney, who launched a media campaign demanding Biden step aside. These demands began after Biden’s disastrous performance in the first presidential debate with Trump.
(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A group of Republican lawmakers is demanding that Congress release the names of their colleagues who have quietly settled sexual harassment lawsuits using taxpayer dollars.
Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.; Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.; and Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., expressed their desire on X for the American public to know which congressional offices paid out over $17 million to settle these claims.
“Congress has paid over $17 million in hush money for sexual misconduct inside of the offices in these buildings. What’s more is that was taxpayer money,” Massie stated during a congressional hearing.
“I’m for turning loose all of these records. Who in here has had the taxpayer pay for their sexual misconduct charges? I bet there’s some over there. There may be some over here,” Massie added.
He posted a copy of his remarks on X, captioning it: “Don’t you think we should release the names of the Representatives? I do.”
Greene supported Massie’s call, stating that she wants to “release the congressional sexual slush fund list.”
“Tax payers should have never had to pay for that,” she emphasized. “Along with all the other garbage they should not have to pay for.”
Boebert echoed these sentiments, asserting that taxpayers deserve to know which lawmakers are tied to these settlement payments.“The People deserve to know! Name them all!!” she wrote.
Former Reps. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, also backed the demands, sharing Massie’s clip.
— Former Congressman Matt Gaetz (@FmrRepMattGaetz) December 28, 2024
Gaetz previously suggested that he might return to the 119th Congress solely to release the lists. He had resigned from the 118th Congress after President-elect Donald Trump unsuccessfully nominated him for the position of attorney general.
Someone suggested the following plan to me:
1. Show up 1/3/2025 to congress 2. Participate in Speaker election (I was elected to the 119th Congress, after all…) 3. Take the oath 4. File a privileged motion to expose every “me too” settlement paid using public funds (even of…

According to a report by the New York Post, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights has paid out over $17 million to settle nearly 300 cases of misconduct.
Some of these cases include accusations of sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation and pay disputes.
Some of these settlements are linked to cases involving the Library of Congress, Capitol Police, and the Architect of the Capitol. These entities are located within the U.S. Capitol, but not part of the Senate or the House.
(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) President-elect Donald Trump has shut down the debate among some of his supporters regarding the future of the controversial H-1B visas, stating his support for the program.
In a phone interview with the New York Post on Saturday, Trump emphasized that he is in favor of H-1B visas, which allow businesses to bring in foreign nationals for temporary positions that Americans may not want to fill.
“I’ve always liked the visas,” Trump said during the interview. “I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them. I have many H-1B visas on my properties.”
He added, “I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program.”
Trump’s statements contradict those of some of his staunchest supporters, including podcast host Steve Bannon.
The debate over H-1B visas gained traction after tech moguls Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy expressed their support for the program, claiming it benefits the U.S. economy.
Ramaswamy and Musk—both of whom Trump has tapped to lead the Department of Government Efficiency—came under fire after some of their comments were interpreted as dismissive and even offensive to the American labor force.
“Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer),” Ramasamy wrote on X, sharing his claims for why foreigners might outperform American workers.
His post has since gone viral, garnering nearly 102 million views.
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if…
Musk echoed Ramaswamy’s sentiments, stating via X that he “will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”
Earlier in his post, Musk wrote, “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.”
Bannon mocked Musk’s reactions, quipping on his WarRoom podcast: “Someone please notify ‘Child Protective Services’— need to do a ‘wellness check’ on this toddler.”

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Biden administration has been forced to halt its sale of border wall materials following a federal lawsuit filed by the Republican attorneys general of Texas and Missouri, delivering yet another victory for President-elect Donald Trump ahead of his inauguration.
On Friday, the Biden administration informed U.S. District Court Judge Drew B. Tipton that it would stop disposing of any border wall materials for the next 30 days, allowing Trump to utilize them once he takes office.
Attorneys General Ken Paxton of Texas and Andrew Bailey of Missouri launched the lawsuit after it was exposed that Biden was auctioning Trump-era border wall materials “for pennis on the dollar.”
“We have successfully blocked the Biden Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office,” Paxton said in a press statement.
“[W]e will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power, especially where their actions are clearly motivated by a desire to thwart President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda,” he added.
“I am honored to be joined in this vital case by the Great States of Texas and Missouri, and applaud Judge Drew Tipton for doing the right thing for our Country,” Trump wrote. “We have to protect our Borders, and Save America. MAGA!”
Biden’s decision to stop selling border materials will be enforceable by the court, according to Paxton.
REPORT: The Biden administration is selling off border wall parts for massive discounts as illegal immigration continues to worsen.
How about we just put it up instead?

The court also determined that Texas is entitled to receive documentation proving that the Biden administration has not violated an injunction related to a May 2024 lawsuit concerning border wall construction.
Earlier this year, Paxton sued Biden to prevent the federal government from redirecting funds that were statutorily obligated for the wall’s construction.
Paxton noted that if it is proven that the Biden administration disposed of any border materials purchased with funds associated with that injunction, “this would constitute unethical and sanctionable conduct, and the responsible parties could be held in contempt of court.”
(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Prosecutors and operatives who worked for Special Counsel Jack Smith are working overtime to keep their skeletons in the closet ahead of Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025.
Some individuals involved in the federal prosecution of Trump are seeking legal counsel, while others are retaining personal attorneys in preparation for potential accountability promised by Trump for any misconduct.
Rolling Stone first reported the federal prosecutors’ move to hire defense attorneys on Wednesday, citing two anonymous sources familiar with the plan and a former federal prosecutor.
The magazine noted that prosecutors are also combing through their personal and professional communications to “make sure they hadn’t written anything that could be subpoenaed, publicly revealed, and used against them to paint a narrative of alleged misconduct.”
The federal prosecutors have consulted with defense lawyers about ways Trump may “make their lives hell” and how they can protect themselves and their finances if they come under federal investigation.
One investigator “has privately inquired if there are steps, even extreme ones, they can take to protect their spouse’s assets, in the event of harmful criminal charges, the former DOJ official says.”
According to one source, “They want to make sure they are protected, if worse comes to worst.”
Smith, under the direction of Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, unleashed two federal indictments against Trump following the 2020 election. This marked the first time in U.S. history that a former president faced a federal indictment.
Trump has made it clear he does not intend to seek retribution against those who weaponized the justice system against him. However, he has pledged to purge the DOJ of partisan hacks. Trump said he would fire Smith on his first day in office.
Garland and Biden claimed that Smith operated independently, yet a federal judge and several Republicans have questioned the extent of Democratic influence over him.
It is no secret that Jack Smith was a corrupt operative hired by the Biden-Harris administration to unlawfully target President Trump. He must be held accountable, and I am grateful for @Jim_Jordan's leadership in this effort. We need to ensure that this never happens again. pic.twitter.com/566tA9DQY5
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who presided over the Mar-a-Lago documents case, challenged Smith about Garland’s oversight in the indictment against Trump.
“Has there been any actual oversight,” Cannon asked Smith’s attorneys in June.
“Yes,” Smith prosecutor James Pearce replied, but he declined to elaborate on the specifics of that oversight.
“Why would there be any heartburn to answer whether the attorney general signed off on the indictment?” Cannon retorted.
Ultimately, Cannon dismissed the case, arguing that Garland’s appointment of Smith as special counsel violated the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Smith filed another indictment against Trump, accusing him of obstructing the certification of the 2020 presidential election. Following Trump’s landslide victory in 2024, Smith went on to have that case dismissed.
Smith has been rumored as a potential recipient of a presidential pardon, shielding him from accountability for any criminal acts committed during his prosecution of Trump.
(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Political commentator Tucker Carlson revealed one of his children suffered from a vaccine injury in an interview released Friday with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lawyer, Aaron Siri.
Carlson was “shocked and revolted” as he and Siri discussed the use of aborted fetal tissue in vaccines, which prompted the former Fox News host to share his child’s resulting health issue from vaccination.
👀 Tucker is Horrified to Learn How Aborted Fetal Tissue is Used in the Development of Some Vaccines, Reveals His Child is Vaccine Injured
“I’m about as uncomfortable as I’ve ever been in an interview right now. This is like really beyond, beyond that this happens.”
“Let me explain to you why some people oppose the MMR vaccine. In every single dose of an MMR shot, there are literally, literally millions of pieces from the cultured cell of an aborted fetus. In every single injection,” Siri said to a very serious-looking Carlson.
Siri acknowledged that his claim may “sound crazy” but added that he obtained his information from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) own MMR vaccine ingredient list.
The New York Times claims the evil Bobby Kennedy wants to ban the polio vaccine and paralyze children. That’s an absurd lie, explains his lawyer Aaron Siri.
(0:00) The Establishment’s Attempt to Discredit Bobby Kennedy Jr. (8:18) The Vaccine Religion (18:57) Did Anyone Protest… pic.twitter.com/li0KhP5aye
Carlson asked, “Where do they get aborted fetuses?” before answering his own question: “From abortion clinics.”
Siri stammered in response to Carlson’s conclusion and told him the aborted fetal tissue must be “alive” to use in vaccines.
With his head on his hand, a visibly disturbed Carlson told Siri he was “so shocked and revolted” when he watched parts of Siri’s nine-hour-long deposition against the world leading vaccine expert Dr. Stanley Plotkin.
“I watched part of it in preparation for this interview and was, you know, so shocked and revolted by it,” Carlson told his guest. “I was already on your side, obviously. As a parent of a child who was vaccine injured.”
If you want to know the REAL disgusting and immoral truth about v$ccines, please watch.

Carlson did not share details on the extent of his child’s vaccine injury, but he reiterated that he was “in tune” was all of Siri’s points. The political commentator and notorious COVID-19 mandate skeptic called the lawyer’s deposition against Plotkin “one of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen in my life.”

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Fox News co-host George “Tyrus” Murdoch brushed off Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary’s claim that half of Canada wants to join President-elect Donald Trump’s America in a roundtable discussion on Friday’s episode of The Five.
On Thursday, O’Leary took to Fox Business and said “at least half of Canadians are interested” in combining economies in the U.S. and Canada. The Canadian businessman added that he plans to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discuss the potential move.
NEW: Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, a Canadian, says he likes the idea of combining the US and Canadian economies, says he is heading to Mar-a-Lago to start the talks.
O'Leary said half of Canadians are interested in Trump's proposal.
Tyrus told Fox News colleagues that the Shark Tank star’s idea “sounds like a publicity stunt.”

“I think both of his watches are broken,” Tyrus said of O’Leary. “Like, okay, there’s no 50 percent of Canadians who who wanted to give up Canada. I mean, that’s their country.”
The Five fill-in panelist compared the idea of Canadians willing to join the U.S. to Americans open to relinquish their country to “the other side.” He took a swipe at O’Leary, who he believed was attempting to boost his own profile by making the claim.
“It almost sounds like a promotional stunt for a TV show,” Tyrus added.

Tyrus mentioned Trump’s trolling of Canada and interpreted the president-elect’s post about making Canada the 51st state to be a negotiation tactic.
“I think the Canadian government is paying attention because President Trump is putting tariffs, he’s trolling them, he’s having a good time with it. And maybe Mr. Wonderful is trying to get on it. But 50 percent? I’d love to see the poll,” he told fellow The Five anchors.
O’Leary said in his bold remarks that merging the U.S. and Canada could provide border security and economic benefits. However, he did not account for the country’s leftist politics, which Tyrus slammed as “one of the most liberal countries” on the planet.
“We’ll play along with this game, okay — it would be, they’re one of the most liberal countries. It would mean the two Senate seats they would have would make Jessica’s day because they would both be liberal and we would lose the Senate,” he warned.
