Rich Zeoli tears into CNN for their latest journalistic disaster—reporting that Michael J. Fox has passed away when he is actually live on stage at Paley Fest. We examine how the obsession with being first has completely destroyed media credibility and why trust scores continue to plummet. Rich points out how this mistake is egregious given Fox’s high profile and active public life, proving that "fake news" is not just a catchphrase.

Zeoli dives deep into the sinister implications of the recent California jury verdict against Meta and Google. We discuss how the government uses the "protection of children" as a Trojan horse to strip away individual agency and implement national age verification standards. Rich warns that once we allow bureaucrats to manage what we see on the internet under the guise of safety, we lose the right to anonymity and the freedom to challenge government narratives during future crises.

We wrap up the show with a look at the utter absurdity coming out of the Canadian Parliament and the bizarre claim that lawns are symbols of white supremacy. Rich reacts to an MP reading a nearly impossible-to-pronounce acronym that includes everything from "two-spirit" to "missing and murdered indigenous" individuals. Zeoli explains how this linguistic chaos is part of a larger effort to control speech and why we must remain vigilant against the erosion of the First Amendment.
