There was a viral Facebook video claiming a FEMA official was arrested for crimes related to the Hawaii wildfires. But fact-checking reveals this claim is false.
The host discusses potential conspiracy theories about the cause of the Hawaii fires, including speculation about military lasers being involved. But there is no evidence for these theories.
The host plays clips about new COVID vaccines and mandates being prepared for fall 2022, including Biden administration plans to request more funding from Congress. Some colleges and companies are already bringing back masking policies.
The host shares a clip from Dr. Larry Palevsky raising concerns about aluminum adjuvants in vaccines and potential links to neurological disorders. Some animal studies suggest aluminum can cross into the brain, but more research is needed on humans.
The host concludes by playing a satirical video about people who cling to COVID policies without questioning them or admitting when they're wrong. The video argues it's easier for some to avoid accountability and stick to a bad course of action than admit they were wrong.
