Stans of the recently canceled Star Wars Disney Plus series tried to flag specific anti-Disney Star Wars channels as "racist" so YouTube would demonetize them. It didn't work. In fact, Team YouTube said on Twitter/X that after review, the content doesn't violate their Terms of Service. Some of the personalities involved include other Star Wars YouTubers and Rewriting Ripley, an account that has been trying to tie anyone who doesn't like Disney Star Wars to "the alt-right" for YEARS...

Disney and DIRECTV have settled their carriage dispute, and it shows just how much power Disney has over cable and satellite companies when it comes to Sports and Kids content. Weirdly, Disney is hoping to REPLACE cable with Hulu, so good luck with that...

Disney is leveraging its streaming services and strategic partnerships, like the recent deal with DirectTV, to strengthen its market position while traditional cable faces decline, ultimately manipulating the landscape to boost profits and subscriber numbers.

00:00 Disney's deal with Direct TV underscores cable's decline and strengthens its streaming dominance through service bundling.
02:10 Streaming services are overwhelmed with confusing names, making it hard for viewers to keep track of them.
03:27 Disney is using its streaming services to increase DirectTV subscribers while traditional cable faces decline from streaming competition.
04:49 Disney's control caused a DirecTV blackout, but a new agreement restored access and introduced genre-specific bundles to address customer concerns.
07:01 Disney is boosting profits by pressuring cable providers to carry its streaming services, manipulating subscriber data, and using creative accounting to inflate profitability.
09:01 DirectTV's new deal with Disney aims to improve customer options but risks alienating users amid rising prices and competition from streaming services.
12:10 Charter Communications faces obsolescence as consumers shift to cost-effective streaming services, mirroring the decline of long-distance phone providers.
14:33 Disney manipulates carriage disputes to enhance its streaming dominance and profit, while misleading the public into thinking it suffers losses.

The Acolyte is The Last Jedi All Over Again...

,

The Acolyte is The Last Jedi all over again. That is, the media is blaming "racist, bigoted, homophobic, alt-right chuds" aka white male Star Wars fans for forcing Lucasfilm to cancel the series. Except the general public, which consists of more than straight white males, didn't watch it and it cost $180 million. This will get thrown back in fandom's faces for years...

Lucasfilm's cancellation of "The Acolyte" may be a result of appeasing a vocal minority of fans, repeating the same mistake they made with "The Last Jedi", and prioritizing safe choices over genuine storytelling.

00:00 Lucasfilm blames Star Wars fandom for The Acolyte's cancellation, echoing their response to The Last Jedi's backlash.

03:37 Lucasfilm may have cancelled "The Acolyte" due to fan backlash, repeating the same mistake they made with "The Last Jedi" by appeasing a vocal minority.

06:25 The Acolyte may repeat The Last Jedi's mistakes, sparking division and apathy due to Star Wars over-saturation and forced divisive elements.

09:02 The media, not fans, created controversy over racism in Star Wars, despite the franchise having diverse representation since 1998.

12:00 Lucasfilm needs to stop catering to the vocal minority and prioritize genuine storytelling over safe choices to save the franchise.

14:41 Disney is pivoting back to basics after costly failures like The Acolyte, prioritizing box office success over diversity and inclusivity.

16:51 The speaker argues that the backlash against diversity in Star Wars is a new phenomenon and that forced diversity in media is repetitive and unoriginal.

19:06 The general public's rejection of certain content, including Disney's Star Wars, is being mislabeled as opposing diversity and inclusion, when in fact they're tired of being forced into "wokeness" and lack engagement with the content.

Book Talk: Philip Taubman — McNamara at War: A New History - with Bob Woodward

Politics and Prose check_circle

3K views 1 year ago

,Watch authors Philip Taubman's book talk and reading at Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. Robert S. McNamara was widely considered to be one of the most brilliant men of his generation. He was an invaluable ally of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson as U.S. secretary of defense, and he had a deeply moving relationship with Jackie Kennedy. But to the country, McNamara was the leading advocate for American escalation in Vietnam. He strongly advised Johnson to deploy hundreds of thousands of American ground troops, just weeks before concluding that the war was unwinnable, and for the next two and a half years, McNamara failed to urge Johnson to cut his losses and withdraw. McNamara at War examines McNamara's life of intense personal contradictions, following his childhood, his career as a young faculty member at Harvard Business School, and his World War II service, to his leadership of the Ford Motor Company and the World Bank. Philip and William Taubman had access to materials previously unavailable to McNamara biographers, including Jacqueline Kennedy's warm letters to McNamara during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and beyond; family correspondence dating back to McNamara's service in World War II; and a secret diary maintained by McNamara's top Vietnam policy aide. What emerges is the comprehensive story of the infamous former leader of the Pentagon: riven by melancholy, guilt, zealous loyalty, and a profound inability to admit his flawed thinking about Vietnam before it was too late. McNamara at War is a portrait of a man at war with himself--with a grave influence on the history of the United States and the world. William Taubman is the Bertrand Snell Professor of Political Science Emeritus at Amherst College. His book, Khrushchev: The Man and His Era, won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is also the author of McNamara at War: A New History and Gorbachev: His Life and Times. He lives in Amherst, Massachusetts. Philip Taubman, a former New York Times Washington Bureau Chief, is affiliated with Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation. He is the author of In the Nation's Service: The Life and Times of George P. Shultz. Phillip Taubman is in conversation with Bob Woodward, the author of three consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers on President Trump-- Fear (2018), Rage (2020), and Peril (2021) with Robert Costa--and an audiobook of 20 interviews with Trump. He has authored 22 bestselling books, 15 of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers, covering every president from Nixon to Biden.

Tony Heller, climate expert and Real Climate Science founder.

(MACHINE GENERATED)
Jerry Ewalt: Welcome to the First Right podcast, a weekly conservative news show brought to you by restoration of America. I'm your host, Jerry Ewalt chief marketing officer for Restoration of America. Today, we are blessed to have a return guest and a popular one climate expert Tony Heller, as the world is in the midst of energy shortages everywhere we have to weigh in on what's really happening. Tony. welcome back to the show.

Tony Heller: Yeah, it's good to be here at Jerry. Thanks.

Jerry Ewalt: Well for those that have missed the last show, the last podcast, would you mind giving us a quick, quick overview of your credentials? I think it's going to help in understanding the topic we're about.

Tony Heller: Yeah, I've got degrees in science and engineering. I've worked as a scientist and engineer for 50 years. I'm still doing engineering for a living. So that was my collars turned up. So I still do engineering for a living. I became, I first got introduced to the whole global warming thing when I was working at Los Alamos labs in 1980, and I was a true believer for decades until I really started looking into it. And about 15 years ago and started seeing a lot of issues. I started realizing that the science wasn't at all, what they were claiming.

So eventually I ended up writing an article for a publication in the United Kingdom, the register about what was wrong with all the predictions about Arctic sea ice melting and kind of went on from there and became my main interest. Actually, I was doing engineering. I was kind of tired of doing engineering after decades and it's, this was a way for me to get back into science and do something useful at the same time. And the more I looked into the whole global warming thing, I came to realize the whole thing was just a scam. There was really no science behind what these people were doing, and it was, it was politics disguised as science.

Jerry Ewalt: So here's how we see it. Tony, multiple degrees in engineering. You're a true scientist. You know how to critically think about things, not just what people are force-feeding you, you, you can work through all that, the data, the facts, do your own analysis to come up with your own conclusions. And you're a true environmentalist. You want to protect the environment?

Tony Heller: Yeah, I've been, I testified in a congressional hearing 50 years ago. It's part of a wilderness area in Utah. I was active with clean air act, the clean water act. So I basically lifelong environmentalist. I was very opposed to the building of Glen Canyon dam ause it flooded Lake Powell because it flooded Glen canyon. So and so, and I, I ride my bike everywhere. I don't really like cars. I hate cars. I'd love to see 90% of them off the road, but the way they get them off the road is not by lying to people about global warming. There's probably much better ways to help the environment than just engaging in this massive fraud, which had been experiencing for decades under Al gore and James Hanson and people have their elk.

Jerry Ewalt: So, so it's, it's a perfect setup, right? For what we're about to discuss. And I know you were on, this is the second time for you to be on the show. The last time you were on the show was about six months ago and so much has changed since then. I kind of look at that first show with you as being a bit of a primer for the energy crisis that we're facing right now. Right? Because right now we, you know, we have Russia invading the Ukraine and all of a sudden gas prices are through the roof. They have this, all this disruption in the Netherlands. We have chaos in Sri Lanka. We have energy rolling blackouts, California, Texas, things like that. Is there a common thread through all this?

Tony Heller: Well, you really have to go back 50 years to understand what's going on in 1974, John Holdren from Berkeley who went on to be Obama's science advisor wrote an article saying we needed to shut down U S energy. He said that the dangers of too much energy too soon was much greater than the dangers of too little energy. And there was never any rational explanation for this. And this was at a time when America was suffering severe energy shortages. People were waiting an hours to get to, to buy gasoline during the energy shortages in the mid 1970s. So this has been in the works for a very long time. And this guy, John Holdren, as I mentioned, is who Obama picked to be his science advisor. And then in 2008 campaign, Obama said there was an interview he did with the San Francisco Chronicle where he said under my plan of cap and trade energy prices will necessarily skyrocket.
And he said, he's wanted to put coal companies out of business. So this is something which has been in the works for 50 years. It's, they've sort of been building up with this whole global warming thing over the past. Like I said, my first exposure to it was in 1980. So this, so they started shortly thereafter and they've been just started pushing the global warming scam harder and harder at the beginning. It appeared to be a scientific debate, but never really was, it was always just politicians driving it. And they've been pushing harder and harder. And at this point it's all just completely fake. It's being driven by heck. It's being driven by the media. It's being driven by politicians. And there's really almost no involvement of scientists at all in, in it anymore. It's it's Alexandria Cortez, it's Joe Biden, it's McCrone and France who said today that they're going to start shutting down on their usage of traffic, of straight lights at night because they don't have enough energy. You know, we're, we're seeing this all over Europe. We're seeing it in some states in the United States that this is, this is a plan which has been in the works for decades. And of course, they're trying to blame it on Putin. They're trying to blame it on some climate crisis, but that really has nothing to do with that. It's, you know, us policy towards Putin is probably largely driven towards this has been a way to create an energy crests.

Jerry Ewalt: Th I think that that's really important what you just said, because it, we, we like the hide behind gluten is the reason for all this I know in France, they were saying they're making all these drastic changes to get energy because they feel that any moment they're going to be completely cut off from Russia and gas, we see our prices skyrocketing in terms of gas as well. And you're, you're, you're saying that that's all been in the works for at least 50 years, maybe longer, not as a result of the last six months of what's going on in Russia and Ukraine.

Tony Heller: Yeah. I just posted a video on my YouTube channel from 1997. It was Joe Biden saying the one way you can be sure to create hostilities with Russia is to bring countries from Eastern Europe into NATO. So he's known, he's known for 25 years that he could create hostilities with Russia by doing exactly what he's been doing. So it's going on there as an accidental. He was intentional that they, they, they, they knew they could create hostilities. They knew they could create this energy shortage, which is what they've wanted to do. And they've walked, you know, Obama said in 2008, he wanted to make electricity prices skyrocket. And that's exactly what they're doing.

Jerry Ewalt: No, and you've been, you've been vocal for some time now about it talked about the first exposure in the eighties. You've been vocal about global warming and climate change, the scam that were seemed to be taking on right now and you know, up until now, it's, it seemed very esoteric for most people. But now this ideology that we're discussing is leading to very destructive, destructive policies. And, you know, people are starting to finally take notice. Do you sometimes wish that people would have been listening to you years ago?

Tony Heller: Yeah, well, you know, it was obvious to me there, there was no, no, I was just thinking about why are they doing this? Why are they telling this big lie? And whenever governments tell a big lie there, they have some very nefarious intent. And the only thing that ever made sense about it was, you know, they're demonizing fossil fuels, which our civilization depends on to survive. And billions of people around the world depend on and survive. It's the only things that made any sense, or why are they doing this is one is to shut down the supply of energy. And the other, which is something they've also been quite open about is to reduce world population, you know, without adequate energy during the winter, during the cold snap in the winter, you can kill a lot of people really quickly. And, and food prices are very dependent on energy prices. So we're seeing, we're seeing food prices skyrocket. So, so between very high, very expensive energy and very expensive food, what faster way to get rid of poor people than exactly the actions they've taken.

Jerry Ewalt: So this is just further evidence in controlling people's lives, controlling population, things like that. It's just another cog in the wheel, if you will, of what they're trying to accomplish.

Tony Heller: Yeah. It has nothing to do with science. It has nothing to do with climate. It doesn't have anything to do with bad weather. It's about controlling the energy supply can train controlling the food supply.

Jerry Ewalt: So I like how you just did that. So you connected energy to food. Cause I don't think people always do that. So what we're seeing is these what we'll say green leftists, right? Who are talking about climate change and green energies and all these things, but it's not just energy. They're now coming after our fertilizers, our beef and even our land, right. Are, is this, is this a true threat? Are we sleeping through this? Or is this imagined,

Tony Heller: Oh, I think it's a very real threat. I mean, they've, they've been one of the, you know, something that I became aware of about 10 years ago was how they were demonizing methane, you know, which is cows burp out methane. And it didn't make any sense. Scientifically methane is irrelevant as a greenhouse gas, but they made up all these lies about methane is 30 times more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide is we have to cut back methane and they were tying this into cattle. So it was obvious. They were trying to get rid of the destroy, the beef industry with us using this fake science. And, you know, methane makes up less than two parts per million in the atmosphere. It's completely irrelevant as a greenhouse gas climate modelers frequently. Even it, it it's such a small part, but they've been telling this big lie about methane is 30 times more potent as a greenhouse gas.
And it's going to multiple polarized gaps and destroy the planet. And the reason was to target the beef industry. Now they're doing the same thing with nitrous oxides, which is even less important than methane and nitrogen is the excuse they're using to shut down all these farmers in the Netherlands right now. So we have a fallout war on beef going on right now. Bill gates has heavily invested in the fake beef industry. He's the number one home owner, a farmland in the United States. So he stands to gain a lot of money by shutting down the beef industry. So he's been supporting all of this anti beef propaganda from NPR and, and these other fake news agencies.

Jerry Ewalt: So they start off with methane collecting devices. I feel bad for these, these cattle. And now, now we're shifting towards just eliminate them altogether and let's just have fake beef, right? Artificial.

Tony Heller: Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's, it's totally ridiculous. There were in the 16th century, which was the coldest century of the last 10,000 years, there were a hundred million bison roaming. The great Plains where I live there there's was just as many bovines in the 16th century as there are now, but it was extremely cold. And so this whole thing of trying to say that we have a hundred million cows in the United States now, and they're causing global warming as absurd. You know, the historical record doesn't provide any evidence for their claims, but it doesn't matter because nothing in nothing in this whole scam is about science.

Jerry Ewalt: It's absolutely true. And I, I need to go then to this next topic, cause this is, this is probably the hottest topic that I get asked this question all the time, right? Electric vehicles, they're clearly going to save the environment. If we just stop using fossil fuels and buying those cars with those traditional engines and move to completely electric vehicles. It's amazing. There's no a car. There's no emissions coming from these cars. It's completely clean. The environment will be saved. How the audience, where the, the electricity comes from, where, where it's, how it's powered. And then where does the actual battery itself, the raw materials, where do those come from? Are they really environmentally friendly?

Tony Heller: Well, the funny thing is, you know, California's has made this mandate that they're not going to sell any new gasoline powered vehicles after such and such time. So they, they have to get there. So everything will have to be electric vehicles. They're telling people that if you can't afford $6 gas, you should buy a $50,000 electric car, which will never pay for itself. But the big problem California is running short of electricity as it is. They're shutting down the Diablo canyon, nuclear power plant. So they don't have enough electricity for their current needs. And they're trying to hugely expand their electricity demands with all these electric cars. And there there's all kinds of problems with this one thing, there just won't be enough electricity. Another thing is if you take the millions of cars, which are currently driving on California highways and try to make them electric suddenly have a huge problem. You can refill a gasoline powered vehicle in five minutes, but an electric vehicle, even with a fast charger takes 40 minutes. So now you need eight times as many pumps, you need a huge infrastructure. You need to be able to deliver huge amounts of electricity to these stations. I saw a video recently of people waiting for hours to recharge their Tesla in California. Now suddenly you increase the number of electric vehicles by a factor of 50. Now people are waiting for days to recharge their electric vehicle. So what happens is essentially traveled long distance travel becomes impossible. What they're doing is they're, they're, they're creating a permanent lockdown where very few people will be able to travel. I mean, he had a huge amount of electricity. This means putting gigantic transmission lines all along scenic roads right now, you know, you can, you can transport gasoline and diesel in a tanker to a remote gas station, but you can't do that with electricity.
Now you have to have massive power lines along all of the scenic roads in the west. So it's an environmental disaster. And the batteries themselves are an environmental disaster. A lot of materials that are being used are in very short supply. The mining of them as is environmentally destructive. A lot of it has been mined by people who are essentially child slaves in Africa. So they're, they're using child slaves to create an environmental disaster. There, there isn't enough raw materials to do what they say they want to do, and they don't have enough electricity to begin with. So what's going on in California behind the scenes is, is they shut down their own electrical spy. The California government is making deals with Wyoming, the state of Wyoming to purchase coal-fired electricity in the future. So what they're going to be doing, is it going to be recharging these in the public? Isn't aware of this, but so the, the they're going to be recharging these electrical vehicles in California with coal fired electricity. So what they're actually doing is creating more pollution because the coal, the transmission of the, of the electricity from Wyoming, they lose a lot of electricity. So they're actually generating more pollution than they would've been had. They just left everything alone, back in California. The whole thing is it's, it's a huge mess. Now, nothing they're doing makes any sense, environmentally engineering wise, or from an economic point of view.

Jerry Ewalt: So Tony, you, you said a lot in that and I want to repeat some of this because it's, it it's so valuable that learning, right? So one thing, the more electric cars we put out there, the more it's going to cause a disruption to the energy grid, right? Because it can't handle all this charging. What used to be done by gas is now done by charging. That's one thing too, you talked about cars, not being able to go very far. You have without another charge, right? So there's a, there's a control aspect, which we talked about earlier, right. Of how the government is trying to control. What, where people go, what people do, what they put in their bodies, what they eat, all of these things. So there's another control aspect to this. Then you're telling me that there's not enough raw materials to make the battery. And when they do make the battery, it's coming from different foreign countries, sun that might not be very friendly to us and used child labor and slave labor and all these types of things. There's still not enough of that. Right. And then, and now there's people waiting in line to get the charge that they need and they can't do it. And then we're buying electricity from what maybe other states, if you're in California or wherever you are, where they're using coal electricity, and then transport that electricity across state lines for miles upon miles, where you have energy loss along the transmission lines. And therefore we're creating even more pollution than when we started with just gas cars,

Tony Heller: Right? Yeah. Yeah. And, and it's worse than that. Then you've got this huge waste disposal problem of the batteries, which are made from toxic chemicals. They use lithium, which is explosive. There's a lot of problems with that. Yeah. It's, it's a massive mass. Nothing makes any sense. You know, they want people recharging their car batteries with solar power, but they're telling them to recharge them at night when there's no sunshine in. So there's no solar power or failable. The whole thing is, is, is a complete disaster from one end to the other. And it's based on junk science. It's, there's, there's no legitimate science behind what they're doing. If they just left everything alone, we would have been fine. There was, we've got huge amounts of fossil fuels. And the only reason we have energy issues is because of interference by government. If government got out of the way, there wouldn't be any energy shortage, the energy would be cheap. It would be abundance and available. So this is a completely government created crisis,

Jerry Ewalt: Like progress to me. No, I'm kidding. I like what you just did to me too. Right. I said, you know, as I kind of outlined everything that you just said, you go, but there's more,

Tony Heller: So

Jerry Ewalt: The question is, is this good at all? Like when you're, here's the way I look at it, right. I, I don't think anyone's against renewable energy energy. That's going to produce less pollution in the air. I mean, nobody's against that. Everyone is, would be for that. The real challenge that we're seeing is that the technology and infrastructure is not there yet. It needs to advance progress over time, but we're just not there yet. So we can't be pushing this on people.

Tony Heller: Well, I would just, I guess I'm going to have to disagree with what you said a little bit. There, both solar and wind are very environmentally destructive. They take up huge amounts of space, the wind power, you know, the ones one wind farm in California has killed about 10% of the golden Eagle population in the United States. They're, they're, they're terribly destructive to Raptors. They take up huge amounts of space. They, they involve toxic chemicals. There there's all kinds of problems with them. And frankly, fossil fuels are less environmentally destructive than wind and solar are. The hydroelectric is incredibly distractive form of energy. I, you know, as I mentioned at the beginning of the show, Glen canyon dam was the most beautiful Glen canyon was the most beautiful canyon on the Colorado river. And they flooded it to build lake pal. The are, they destroyed hundreds of miles of the Colorado river ecosystem when they built it and downstream from Glen canyon, the grand canyon before, before 1963, the grand canyon, the water in the grand canyon was warm, muddy water. They had totally different ecosystem. Now it's called Clearwater. So they changed the ecosystem, the grand canyon, they changed the type of fish what's lived there. So basically they destroyed the entire Colorado river in Arizona from one end to the other by building lake, pal and Glen canyon dam. So yeah, it's everything, everything they're doing is wrong.

Jerry Ewalt: Okay. I mean, I think we could probably be here for another hour and you'd find more and more that that's wrong. So I guess your solution is ride your bike and stick with fossil fuels when you can't get there by bike.

Tony Heller: Yeah. Fossil fuels for the, from the environmental point of view, fossil fuels are much cleaner. We did have in the 1960s, we had terrible problems with pollution from fossil fuels. Cities here, pollution in cities was horrible. Coal fired power plants. We're putting out huge amounts of smoke. And they w we had a lot of environmental problems, but we clean those up 50 years ago. They put electrostatic precipitators on, on coal-fired power plants, which reduced the emissions by 99%. We'd put all these emission controls in automobiles. So now fossil fuels are very clean and they have a much smaller footprint on the ground, but, but we're replacing them with much more environmentally destructive forms of energy, which they, they try to sell as green energy. So the whole thing's a fraud.

Jerry Ewalt: I didn't even think of it in that, that perspective, but that's, that's a, that's very good information. So my last question for you, Tony, this is, this is important for us in the political realm here. So are Republicans making a mistake by trying to finesse this climate change issue right there? They're trying to get around it or get by without really taking on the fundamental issues that the earth has rapidly. If the earth is rapidly warming, why are they afraid to argue the point and kind of hit this one head on?

Tony Heller: Yeah, that's, that's a really good question. You know, Winston Churchill said an appeaser is someone feeds the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last, which is exactly what the Republicans are doing. They're not solving any problems. You know, Alexandria Cortez made a very good point. She said, the world's going to end in 10 years. And Republicans are saying that it's too expensive to fix it. And that's exactly right. If, if you allow people to believe that there actually is this existential crisis, the argument that it's too expensive to fix it, it's meaningless. You know, you, you have to get to the root of the problem you have to, the Republicans needed to along time ago, just say this whole story is fake. It's junk science. There is no climate crisis and, and attack it from that point of view. But the, the approach they've taken is it's too expensive, which makes no sense. If people think they're going to die, then the cost of fixing it is meaningless. So I've been trying to get this message across to Republicans in Congress. And I've met with many of them. If you've got to drop this, you've got to stop doing this, you know, Alexandria light routine. You've you've, you've got to directly confront the issue and say, this is junk science. It's fake. We've got to stop this agenda cold, but they're afraid of it because this perception has been created that 99% of scientists believe this in anyone who goes up against it as a knuckle dragging Neanderthal science denier. And that's where they're stuck at. They don't want to be can con Republican congressmen don't want to get called out on CNN as Neanderthal science deniers, right? Because then they look bad and then they lose. They're afraid they'll lose votes.

Jerry Ewalt: No, I'm hoping we get to that day where that becomes a badge of honor to go on and see going to be called that Neanderthal knuckle dragger. But we're not quite there yet, but I, I think we're, we're moving in that direction. Would you say,

Tony Heller: Well, hopefully, I mean, the people who've tried to go there, like Ted Cruz a few years ago, he did a Senate hearing and he featured one of my graphs, but unfortunately didn't talk to me before I did that. And he didn't really understand the graph. And then he was unable to follow up. He got his first point. Right. But from then on, he wasn't able, he wasn't able to proceed further in the hearing with, with coherent arguments because he didn't really understand it. So what they need to do is they need these politicians. They need to sit down with me for a few hours so I can teach them not only the first question, but the second and third and how to keep responding. And so I think it's a lack of education. And I think there's a lot of these Republican congressmen have, have good intentions, but they don't have enough knowledge. And they don't, they don't know how to play a complete chess game. They can make the first move, but then they don't know how to respond to these very well organized people on the democratic side who know how to follow up and make them look bad.

Jerry Ewalt: Well, well, Tony, I think it could be a little intimidating and, and you're right. I mean, th the amount of science that goes into this, there's, there's a lot there. And you said a lot of it's been misled and confused. Right. And it's easy to be, you know, for, for someone to come against you and say, you're that Neanderthal. So I, I do agree. I think they need to spend some more time with you. Cause I know our, our audience just learned a lot on the second go round. So we'll have to have you back again for third one, cause there's a lot here, but I do want to thank you for your time and thank you for all that you're doing and, and just, just keep driving forward. We need you.

Tony Heller: Okay. Thanks Jerry. I enjoy talking to you.

Jerry Ewalt: All right. That's our show for today. Thank you so much for tuning in and supporting conservative media. Don't ever forget that by working together and staying diligent, we conservatives can bring our country back to true greatness until next week. Let's all keep praying that God will continue to bless America

Story At-A-Glance

• In mid-February 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration shut down Abbott Nutrition's infant formula manufacturing facility in Sturgis, Michigan, resulting in a severe shortage of formula across the U.S., as labeling regulations bar most infant formula from other countries to be imported

• May 16, 2022, the Biden administration announced it had reached a deal to reopen the Abbott plant in about two weeks, which should result in shelves being restocked in another six to eight weeks

• The Biden administration is also loosening the regulations around foreign imports of infant formula, relaxing WIC restrictions on the types of formulas you can obtain, and cracking down on price gouging to discourage hoarding and reselling at higher prices

• While that may solve the problem in the short term, it does nothing to address the underlying problem, which is the fact that the U.S. market is monopolized by three companies: Abbott, Mead Johnson and Gerber

• Recipes for a superior and healthy homemade infant formula are included

.........

Skyrocketing prices and food shortages are already looming, and are likely to become worse in the coming months. At present, many parents across the U.S. are running from store to store in search of baby formula and finding only empty shelves. How did this happen?

The shortage, it turns out, stems from the fact that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration shut down Abbott Nutrition's facility in Sturgis, Michigan, back in mid-February 2022, after five infants were reportedly sickened with Cronobacter and Salmonella infections. Two of the babies died.

February 17, 2022, Abbott voluntarily recalled Similac, Alimentum and EleCare powdered formulas manufactured in the Sturgis facility. According to the FDA, the Sturgis facility failed inspection and was ordered to halt production until required sanitary measures were carried out.

The FDA inspection came on the heels of a whistleblower report, submitted to the FDA in October 2021, alleging several health and safety compliance issues at the Sturgis facility, including falsification of records; release of untested formula; undermining of an FDA audit in 2019; lax cleaning processes; and the failure to adequately trace its products.

Some members of Congress are now calling for an investigation to determine whether the FDA took sufficiently prompt action after receiving this information.

Feds Fail To Address Industry Monopoly

May 16, 2022, the Biden administration announced5 it had reached a deal to reopen the Abbott plant in about two weeks, which should result in shelves being restocked in another six to eight weeks, but while that may solve the problem in the short term, it does nothing to address the underlying problem, which is the fact that the U.S. baby formula market is monopolized by three companies.

Regulatory red tape also prevents the import of infant formula from other countries. As reported by The Defender:

"The $45.4 billion U.S. baby formula market is controlled by three companies -- Abbott, Mead Johnson and Gerber. A 2011 market analysis8 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows these companies accounted for nearly all U.S. formula sales ...

"Abbott Nutrition ... dominates the market -- the company's sales accounted for roughly 43% of the formula market ... according to a 2011 USDA report, which contains the latest available figures ...

"FDA regulations for baby formula9 make it nearly impossible for parents in the U.S. to buy infant formula produced outside the country ... The issue is this: FDA rules bar formula imports from Europe if the product does not have FDA-compliant nutritional labels.

"The formula may be perfectly safe and produced in accordance with European standards that are at least as stringent as U.S. health and safety requirements, but it can't be imported because the FDA has not reviewed and approved what is printed on the package -- a costly and time-consuming process for producers."

U.S. Response To The Crisis

House Democrats have now approved an emergency spending bill to allocate another $28 million to the FDA to allow it to hire more inspectors and prepare for future baby formula shortages. Some Republicans voiced opposition to the bill, saying it doesn't contain any instructions for how the money is actually supposed to be spent, which would likely render it ineffective, and as of this writing, it's still uncertain whether the bill will pass the Senate.

May 18, 2022, Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to increase production. The law allows the president to compel companies that supply various formula ingredients to prioritize the needs of formula manufacturers over other customers.

Commercial aircraft owned by the U.S. Defense Department will reportedly be deployed to pick up formula overseas and fly it back to the U.S., in an operation dubbed "Operation Fly Formula." DoD contracts with other commercial air cargo will also be used to speed up imports and distribution.

That same day, the House also passed bipartisan legislation to allow WIC recipients to purchase any brand of formula. The Biden administration has also promised to crack down on price gouging to discourage hoarding and reselling at higher prices.

While that's all well and good, but the Biden administration was initially criticized for its tone-deaf response to the crisis. In "The Jimmy Dore Show" episode featured above, Dore replays Jen Psaki's response to a reporter who asks where parents should turn if they cannot find formula for their babies. Psaki suggested they call their pediatrician.

And then what? What is the pediatrician supposed to do about it? Manufacture baby food? Do they have some sort of magic wand? Dore also points out she's apparently unaware that millions of parents are uninsured or underinsured, and can't afford to pay for pediatric visits to ask about how to feed their babies.

Three Key Problems

Three key factors have contributed to the current disaster, and none is being properly addressed. First of all, the market has been allowed to be monopolized by so few companies that the takedown of a single plant has the ability to threaten the lives of millions of babies.

Adding insult to injury, our corporate-captured government has implemented labeling regulations that effectively ban foreign imports of formula, even if they meet or exceed FDA nutritional requirements.

Far more importantly than either of those, however, is the fact that science -- to say nothing of common sense -- has been ignored for decades and corporate greed has been allowed to dictate infant nutrition instead.

Absolutely nothing can compare to breast milk, yet people have been brainwashed into thinking that manmade formula is better, and that breast feeding is somehow undignified and unnecessary.

Formula offered greater freedom for busy moms, and the promotion of the obnoxious idea that breastfeeding in public is shameful fueled the transition, making more moms defer to the bottle rather than their breasts. For years, women could even be fined for "public indecency" if caught breastfeeding in public.

Were breastfeeding the norm, the country wouldn't be in a panic over low inventory of infant formula. Many children would also enjoy better health overall. The sad reality is that most commercial infant formula is complete junk food.

Most contain shocking amounts of sugar -- typically in the form of corn syrup, which is the worst of all -- and even far worse ingredients, including large amounts of dangerous linoleic acid from soy (the risks of which I detail in "Infant Soy Formula -- A Risky Public Experiment") and genetically modified ingredients (reviewed in this 2012 article). Infant formulas have also been found to contain hazardous contaminants, including glyphosate15 and perchlorate (rocket fuel).

We're now also hearing about artificial breast milk, a brand-new industry heavily funded by Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg. A company called Biomilq is trying to create artificial breast milk from cultured human mammary cells. What could possibly go wrong with that? As of yet, however, artificial breast milk is not commercially available, so that's a concern for another day.

All of that said, as it stands, the formula shortage is an absolute disaster, because while breastfeeding is the perfect option for most new mothers, it's certainly not an option for anyone who didn't breastfeed from the start, or who hasn't breastfed for a number of weeks or months. You can't just restart lactation at will. For that reason, telling mothers who already rely on formula to "just breastfeed" is ridiculous, because they can't.

Breast Is Best

If you are a new mother and still lactating, then giving breastfeeding a try would be your best bet at this point. Breastfeeding has several benefits over formula, including reducing your baby's risk of dying, improving your baby's microbiome, thereby lowering their risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life.

Exclusively breastfed babies also tend to have higher IQs than formula-fed babies. For an even more comprehensive list of benefits for both the baby and mother, see my 2018 article, "The US Campaign Against Breastfeeding."

How To Make Homemade Formula

If the opportunity to breastfeed has already passed, your next-best option is to make your own infant formula. The Weston A. Price Foundation has been a leader in this for years. In the video above, former Weston A. Price chapter leader Sarah Pope demonstrates how to make the formula created by Mary Enig, Ph.D., published in the book, "Nourishing Traditions."

However, based on my research into linoleic acid (LA), iron and other components, I have revised Enig's original formula (which you can find on the Weston A. Price Foundation's website). In my view, it's really crucial to NOT include any kind of iron or seed oils with high LA content, for all the reasons detailed in "Iron Overload Destroys Mitochondria and Sabotages Health" and "How Linoleic Acid Wrecks Your Health."

I don't have any children, but if I did and the child's mother could not breastfeed, I would never use commercial infant formula as the recipe below is decidedly superior to commercial formulas and will give your child a major head start in life and preserve their health.

Dr. Mercola's Preferred Healthy Homemade Infant Formula

• 2 cups organic, whole, cow milk, preferably raw unprocessed milk from grass fed cows. For sources of good-quality milk, see www.realmilk.com or contact a local chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation.

• If the only choice available to you is commercial milk, choose whole milk, preferably grass fed organic and non-homogenized (Kalona SuperNatural non-homogenized organic milk is one example), and culture it with a Piima yogurt culture, available on CulturesForHealth.com, to restore enzymes.

• For sensitive bellies, raw goat's milk may be better, but since it's low in vitamin B12, be sure to add 2 teaspoons of frozen organic chicken liver (boiled), finely grated, to each batch, and begin egg-yolk feeding at 4 months of age.

• 4 tablespoons pure lactose (a milk sugar), available on Amazon.

• Infant probiotic

• 2 or more tablespoons of good quality, organic cream (regular, not ultrapasteurized). Use more if using milk from Holstein cows.

• 1 teaspoon of Carlson's liquid cod liver oil, available from CarsonLabs.com, Amazon and most health food stores.

• 2 teaspoons organic, virgin coconut oil, available in most grocery and health food stores. The coconut oil provides medium-chain saturated fats also found in mother's milk.

• 2 teaspoons Sari Foods non-fortified nutritional yeast flakes, available on Amazon. Nutritional yeast provides essential folic acid.

• 4 teaspoons Great Lakes beef hydrolysate gelatin, available on GreatLakesWellness.com. Before adding the gelatin into the formula, you'll need to dissolve it in the recommended amount of water; heat gently until completely dissolved.

• 2 1/4 cups pure filtered water. Do NOT use tap water if your local water supplies contain fluoride. Most filtration systems cannot filter out fluoride, so only use fluoride-containing tap water if you have a water filtration system that is certified to remove fluoride.

• 1 teaspoon acerola powder, available on Amazon.29 Acerola is an excellent source of whole food vitamin C.

• Optional: 1/4 cup homemade liquid whey (see recipe for whey, below).

• Optional: Monkfruit sweetener. If your child has gotten used to the sweetness of corn syrup-sweetened infant formula and is refusing unsweetened formula, you can use a little liquid monkfruit as a sweetener, available on Amazon30 and in most grocery stores. However, AVOID any monkfruit brand that contains erythritol, which can cause gastrointestinal stress. Try to lower the amount used, over time, to discourage the development of a sweet tooth.

This recipe will make 36 ounces. Place all ingredients in a clean glass or stainless steel container and mix well. To ensure your mixing bowl is properly sanitized, place it in boiling hot water for a few minutes. Remove with tongs and let fully cool before using.

To serve the formula, pour 6 to 8 ounces into a sanitized glass baby bottle, attach the nipple and set it in a pot of simmering water. Heat until the formula is warm but not hot to the touch. Always check the temperature of the formula before feeding using either the back of your hand or your tongue. Never ever heat formula in a microwave oven. You'll need to make a batch every other day or so, but the formula can be frozen so you have a stash for emergencies.

Homemade Whey Recipe

To make homemade whey, start with plain unsweetened yogurt, raw milk or cultured milk. Rest a large strainer lined with a clean linen kitchen towel or several layers of cheese cloth over a bowl.

If you're using yogurt, place 2 quarts in the towel-lined strainer. Cover with a large plate and leave at room temperature overnight. The whey will drip out into the bowl. Place the whey in sanitized glass jars and store in the refrigerator.

If you are using raw or cultured milk, place 2 quarts of the milk in a glass container and leave at room temperature for two to four days until the milk separates into curds and whey. At that point, pour the mixture into the towel-lined strainer and cover with a plate. Leave at room temperature overnight to separate the whey from the curd. (The whey will drip out into the bowl.) Store in clean glass jars in the refrigerator.

Dairy-Free Formula

If your baby has a milk allergy, you can make a liver-based formula as follows. This recipe, again revised from the original Weston A. Price recipe to remove iron and seed oils, will make 36 ounces:

Ingredients

3 3/4 cups homemade beef or chicken broth
2 ounces organic liver, cut into small pieces
5 tablespoons lactose
Infant Probiotic
1/4 cup homemade liquid whey
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon cod liver oil
1 teaspoon acerola powder

Procedure

Gently simmer the liver in the broth until fully cooked through. Liquefy the liver using a handheld blender or food processor. Once cooled, stir in all the remaining ingredients. Store in a sanitized glass or stainless steel container.
