BONUS POD: Big Pharma gets Cancelled, FBI Reopens Pipe Bombs, Cocaine & Court Leaks plus Ivy Under Fire

looking into. You remember the cocaine at the White House, or the leaking of the twenty two Supreme Court decision when it came to Roe v. Wade and the Washington pipe bomb incident just the day before January the seventh, Well, all of these are now being investigated again by the FBI. I'll have those details, and finally President Trump, yet again proving he wasn't joking when he said he was going to be looking at where your tax dollars are going. This time, he says it's time to cut off the

funding to Harvard, and Harvard is now fighting back. We'll have that and how much money it could save you. In just a second, it's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now, story number one. There's no other way to describe it but a major victory for American taxpayers. The US Department of Health and Human Services

under Secretary RFK. Junior, has canceled a seven hundred and sixty six million dollar contract with Maderna that was intended to fund the development of an mRNA base vaccine targeting pandemic influenza viruses, including the H five in one bird flu The funding, awarded through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority known as BARDA, comprised one hundred and seventy six million granted in July of twenty twenty four and

five hundred and ninety million in January of twenty twenty five. The cancelation occurred despite Modernay reporting positive interim results from early stage trials involving three hundred healthy adults, which demonstrated they claimed a robust immune response and favorable safety profile. That's obviously coming from the company. Well, when the announcement came through, this is what it sounded like on MSNBC.

bird flu vaccine and other pre pandemic influenza viruses. And so what's really notable about this is that obviously we've seen this, you know, we've seen bird flu tearing through birds and also dairy cows and the risk to humans. And so what we saw on the Biden administration is that they really ramped up this work and they were helping to fund They were going to fund a phase through trial to see if we could use mRNA for a bird flu vaccine if it indeed spills over to humans.

And now the cancelation of this vaccine is quite a surprise. Maybe not a surprise now, because we had been hearing rumblings about this for the past few months. But you know, we just saw this this contract ramp up right before the last administration left, and now you have the Trump administration saying that they felt like, after a rigorous review, we concluded that the continued investment in Maderna's H five and one mRNA vaccine was not scientifically or ethically justifiable.

And they're saying that it's not just about efficacy, it's about safety. And so it's interesting to hear them really casting doubt on just the safety and the efficacy of mRNA vaccines as a whole.

ethically justifiable. Now, concerns were raised about the safety and testing rigor of the mr NA technology, and the emphasized the need for safety number one, integrity number two, and public trust in medical advancements, something that all disappeared because of the quote COVID vaccine. Remember when they promised you if you got it, you were going to stop the spread and you didn't have to worry about getting COVID nineteen. Well that never happened, and we all know we were

lied to. Now this move also aligns with Secretary Kennedy's long standing skepticism towards RNA vaccines. Since assuming his roll in February, Kennedy has inputed several policy changes reflecting those views, including rolling back COVID nineteen vaccine recommendations, as we mentioned yesterday, for healthy children and pregnant women, something that's been celebrated by quite a few Americans. Now, to be clear, no

one has banned vaccines. This is going back to giving you the choice and a choice that many Americans had taken away from them during the COVID lockdowns. Now, story number two, there were some pretty big stories in the past administration that literally got swept under the rug. And there are stories that Democrats, certainly those in power, were

really hoping they'd never have to worry about again. That's part of the reason why they were propping up Joe Biden, even though they knew he wasn't even the president of the United States of America. He had a massive cognitive decline. But hey, when you're doing what they're doing, why not keep the charades going. Well, The FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has come out and said that quote, the bureau is now looking at several of those cases involving quote

potential public corruption. Cases the FBI could look at are the Washington pipe bomb incident, a White House cocaine discovery. You may remember that story, and also the minor leaking of the twenty twenty two Supreme Court decision that overturned

Rov Wade. Yes, the FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino saying that the bureau is looking at launching investigations into these cases a potential public corruption Bongino said, quote shortly after squaring in, the FBI Director Cash Mattel, and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that understandably have garnered public interests. Bongino a former Secret Service agent and you may know him from his podcasts. Note that they made the decision to either reopen or push additional

resources and investigative attention to these cases. One case they're looking to target is the FBI investigation to the alleged pipe bomb left near the Democratic and Republican National Committee buildings in Washington, d C. The day before the January sixth capital breach, he said. The FBI said in twenty twenty four that a five hundred thousand dollars reward is still an effect for information leading to the arrest of

the pipe bomb suspect. Earlier in twenty twenty five, the former assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office told CNN that officials are seeking quote, new leads, saying maybe alliances have changed or relationships have changed, and

it's time to report on the suspect. Is what he said to the outlet at the time, saying tips from the public really have been very helpful, but as I mentioned, we're still trying to identify the suspect, so we're trying to release a little more information such that maybe it

will jog somebody's memory. Other cases that warn't more resources include one involving the discovery of cocaine in the White House in July of twenty twenty three, as well as the massive leak of the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade in June of twenty twenty two, saying it this way, quote, I receive requests briefings on these cases weekly, and we are making progress. If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us,

then please kind of tact the FBI. Also in his ex posts, Bongino said he and Patel have conducted one media interview together, which was with Fox News, as you know, a few days ago, saying quote, we decided early on to limit our media footprint overall in order to keep

the attention on the work being done. We have chosen to communicate in writing on this platform to fill some of the inevitable information vacuum, saying quote, I try to read as much of your feedback as possible, but the workday is busy, and my office is a sensitive compartment and information facility with limited phone access and response to

feedback both positive and negative. From our interview last week, we will be releasing more information which will further clarify answers to some of the questions asked in the interview. One thing is for sure, they are definitely going for more transparency. But for the liberals out there that may have been committing crimes, guess what you may have thought you got away with it, and apparently with this administration, you may be very wrong.

million dollars now. This move follows earlier measures, including the freezing of over two point six billion in federal research grants, citing concerns over the university's policies and campus climate. Now, the aspects of the policy change are actually very simple. The reallocation of resources is number one. The administration's decision aims to redirect substantial federal funds to institutions that align more closely with its policy objectives, potentially benefiting trade schools

and other educational entities. They also say there's an emphasis on accountability. By scrutinizing Harvard's use of federal funds, the administration underscores the importance of accountability and also adherence to national standards and higher education institutions. And then the promotion

of diverse educational opportunities. The potential redistribution of funds, of White ausay may enhance vocational and technological training programs, offering countless students alternative pathways to successful careers without the traditional university route and or going to an Ivy League school. There's also the encouragement of institutional self reliance. The funding cuts may prompt elite universities, they say, to seek greater

financial independence, foster innovation efficiency, and management resources. Now these actions are marking legal challenges as the universities are angry over what's happening. But at the end of the day, the White House also says this comes down to another issue, and that is, are we actually encouraging students from around the world to come to the US that love America? And that want to be a part of the process, or are tax dollars going to students that actually hate America?

And that brings up the State Department pausing visa interviews as Trump moves to cancel Harvard's last federal contracts. Here's more of that story as CNN freaked out over it news.

those contracts are worth about one hundred million dollars. This on top of more than two billion dollars in grants the administration froze last month, and on Monday, the President th rent to give that money to trade schools. Here's Harvard's president in an interview that was taped before news broke about those latest contract cancelations.
