Is it FINALLY happening? Is President Trump finally reversing course and changing his tune on Operation Warp Speed? It looks like it. The RapidResponse47 account on X just shared this post from President Trump: pic.twitter.com/gV5EuI7Cr5 — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) September 1, 2025 Let’s take a closer look at that and the key part that really caught my eye: FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT: It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW. I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not??? They go off to the next “hunt” and let everyone rip themselves apart, including Bobby Kennedy Jr. and CDC, trying to figure out the success or failure of the Drug Companies’ Covid work. They show me GREAT numbers and results, but they don’t seem to be showing them to many others. I want them to show them NOW, to CDC and the public, and clear up this MESS, one way or the other!!! I hope OPERATION WARP SPEED was as “BRILLIANT” as many say it was. If not, we all want to know about it, and why??? Thank you for your attention to this very important matter! President DJT It looks like he’s finally recognizing something is wrong here and starting to shine the light on the Big Pharma companies. I still find it very hard to believe that President Trump didn’t realize what was happening in the moment when so many of us clearly did, but it seems like he was truly hoodwinked on this. And I have a feeling President Trump does NOT like to be conned. If he finds out something very bad happened here with Big Pharma, it could finally be the end of them. In a related report, I brought you this just a few weeks ago which seems to tie in very nicely: We FINALLY Just Learned Why President Trump Pushed Operation Warp Speed This is really incredible on a couple different levels... I have to say this is one of the most fascinating videos and stories I've seen in quite a while, so I think you're going to really enjoy this. Because it explains one of the biggest mysteries we've had about President Trump, which is the question of why he pushed Operation Warp Speed with Big Pharma and why he never seemed to understand that we didn't like it. John Rich finally explained that riddle and it now makes perfect sense. I'll give you the quick summary here and then you just need to hear him tell it in the video below. Basically, John Rich says he was invited to a meeting with President Trump and some Senators including Lindsey Graham. Rich is keeping his silence most of the meeting, a bit stunned he's even in the room. This was before the 2024 election when President Trump was doing massive MAGA Rallies all over the country and pulling 30,000-40,000 people at each one. At one point in the conversation he stops everything and tells John Rich he has a question for him, as a fellow entertainer, and the question is basically this:  30,000+ people are coming to these Rallies and they clearly love me (Trump), but why do they boo when I bring up the vaccine and Operation Warp Speed? Stunning question, right? It tells us so much. First, it tells us President Trump truly does care and he wants to do the best for people and as a gauge for that he wants people to like him. Second, President Trump rushed out the vaccines thinking he was giving us options, giving us something to help.  He never mandated them.  That was Biden. Third, it tells us he truly didn't get it.  He had no idea what the issue was. That's the kicker for me. President Trump has had his finger on the pulse of MAGA better than anyone else -- obviously, he created it -- but he's been out of tune on this one issue and never really understood it before John Rich explained it. So Rich decides he's going to tell him the truth and he tells him what you or I would say -- we don't trust Big Pharma, we don't trust Pfizer, we think they're the scum of the Earth and engaged in depopulation efforts and we didn't trust nor want their vaccine! He then continues to tell him every single one of us knows someone who was badly hurt or killed by the vaccine. President Trump sits in stunned silence and then looks at his advisors and says "Unbelievable!  Unbelievable!" Then he asks his advisors and Senators if this is true. He truly had no idea. Herschel Walker then speaks up and says he hears the exact same thing from his constituents on a daily basis, and again President Trump is floored. Then the kicker -- Lindsey Graham speaks up and like the rat he is takes the opposite side and tells President Trump not to believe these "conspiracy theories". I think everyone knows who President Trump trusted and believed after this moment and it wasn't that rat Lindsey Graham. This whole story is incredible to me, but not surprising. I have been around powerful people my whole life.  Worked for them, often as one of their top advisors.  Their right-hand man, so to speak.  And I've noticed something almost universal among all those extremely powerful people: it's almost impossible for them to get honest feedback. They're surrounded by "yes men" who only tell them what they THINK they want to hear. And the irony is that's the last thing they want to hear. They want respect, yes -- but in a respectful and intellectually honest way, they want the truth.  Even if they won't like it or agree with. These people become so insulated and so surrounded by "yes men" that they begin to crave anyone who will be truly honest with them, especially with hard truths. That's what John Rich did here. And it's rare. It's why for his entire life President Trump has been famous for not listening to advisors or focus groups or anything like that.  Did you know that? What does he do instead? He talks to the "common man". He talks to cab drivers, construction workers.  He talks to the people on the ground, the people actually DOING things. When he took office in 2017 he didn't care what the "TV Generals" had to say, he flew out and talked to the people on the front lines over seas.  Those were the people he listened to. Steve Jobs always did the same thing. Steve had such a close relationship with Jony Ive because Jony was one of the few people who would give him honest feedback and they would love long conversations and debates. Most other people were terrified of Steve Jobs and would only tell him what they thought he wanted to hear, which is absolutely complete trash and useless.  Steve hated that.  Trump hates that. So in the world of Lindsey Graham's, be a John Rich. That's my take and my summary, but now you just have to listen to John Rich tell it: TRUMP: “Why are people booing me at my rallies when I bring up the vaccine?” JOHN RICH: “They’re booing you Mr. President because every human being out in that rally, either themselves or they know someone directly, who has been harmed by the vaccine”pic.twitter.com/JbZFLM9H1B — Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) August 7, 2025 TRANSCRIPT: We're sitting there, and everybody's eating their food. And, and, and President Trump is not present at this, at this time. And he's talking to the senators. He's talking about, uh, really important stuff, and I'm just minding my own business going, I don't know why or how I got in this room. Well, it was okay. I'm sitting there elbow to elbow with him. It's about an hour into dinner, I hadn't said a word, just been listening. And Trump gets through eating, and you've seen him do this move right here. Yeah. Yeah. The, wherever, in the big boardroom, he does this. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay, that's what he does. Mm-hmm. He goes, Can I ask you a question, John Rich? He never calls me John. John Rich. I said, I look at him, I go, Yes, sir? What, what's the question? He goes, Well, you do a lot of big shows, like you're an entertainer? Yes, sir. You play for really big crowds? I go, I do, I played for really big crowds for a long time. He goes, Well, have you seen these rallies I'm doing? Like it's 30,000, 40,000 people. I said, Yeah, they're, it's unbelievable. He goes, So let me ask—He goes, So here's the question. Why are people booing me at my rallies when I bring up the vaccine? This is the question from the President of the United States, a guy who is very proud at that moment of the fact that— he was able to stomp the gas pedal and get that thing out, because he's under the impression this is gonna fix the problem. Operation Warp Speed, uh— That's it. Mm-hmm. Okay, so here's a guy who, to his own admission, one of the biggest egos on the Earth. Yeah. And he's very proud of this, and I respect him to—there is no limit. But I'm being asked a very direct question. And so, man, I went, looked at him and I said, Okay, I'm gonna tell you the answer and you're not gonna like it. He goes, Okay, what's the answer? And he looked at me like this. I said, Let me start off by saying this: we, the American people, do not trust the people that you were forced to trust at the time when this was happening. Let's start there. And I said, By the people we don't trust, here's who I mean—the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, the WHO, Fauci, and all the rest of them. I said, Mr. President, we consider them to be a bunch of murderous depopulationist psychopaths. And his reaction was? That's a good way to start. His eyes are—he goes, Unbelievable. Unbelievable. That was a great impression. He's stunned. No, he is stunned that I said that. I said, Now, let me tell you why they're booing you. I said, Because all of them, including me—I said, I would boo you. I would boo you. He did? Did he really say that? You did not. Wow. I would boo you— Really? if you brought that up, and here's why. And he's looking at me like—and I'm thinking to myself, This is the last time this guy's gonna invite me to anything. Yeah. He's never gonna call me again. I am throwing massive shade at the former president's— Yeah. what, in his mind, one of his biggest accomplishments. Mm-hmm. And, and it dawned on me, nobody had told the man what I was telling him right now, cause they all work for him, they all got something to gain from him. Yes, sir. They're not going to tell him this, because they're not serving him well. I don't work for him, and I think a lot of him, and I want him to understand the truth about it. So I said, Here's the problem, here's why they're booing you, Mr. President. Because every human being out in that rally, either themselves or they know someone directly who has been harmed by the vaccine, or has even died from it, including me. I said, I got members of my own family who were forced to take it against their will to keep their jobs, and now they've got all kinds of problems—big problems. Heart problems— Mm-hmm. lung problems. And he's, he, he's looking at me and he, he looks around the table and he goes, This is unbelievable. I mean, he goes, Is, is this—does anyone—has anyone else heard this? Herschel Walker—Mister—he was running for Senate at the time. Yeah. He goes, Mr. President, I mean, down in Georgia, my constituents come up at my rallies and what, what John just said, man, I hear it— Oh, he got your back. Yeah. every single day. Mm-hmm. Looks over at Marcia. Marcia's sitting there going, you know? Looks around the table. And then Lindsey Graham, who's sitting across— So you're here, or I'm here. I'm sorry, but you're Lindsey Graham. You're Lindsey. Sorry. Dammit! Oh no, you're Lindsey. Sorry, Lindsey. Hey, look, it's Lindsey, everybody. I'm Lindsey. I'm Lindsey. You're Lindsey Graham and you're—Okay. Um, as I'm going into the part where I said, Even in my own family, I have—Lindsey Graham busts in with his, swishing his Chardonnay around. And said, Mr. President, if you listen to conspiracy theorists— No. like John Rich, the Democrats are gonna take credit for what you did, and they're gonna beat you in the next election with it. Oh no. And I—So I'm looking at Trump, and he's sitting over there, and he does that. And I looked at him and I said, Do not interrupt me when I'm speaking. Do you understand me? You what? Oh, Lord. And he, and he looked at me and he goes, Well, I didn't mean to disrespect you. I go, Yeah, but you did. Oh. So— Right now you look like Wyatt Earp right now. You're very intimidating. So Trump is, Trump is right here. You're Lindsey Graham, okay? I go, I'm holding him. Oh, good. Yeah, you're Lindsey Graham. I get back up— You're Lindsey Graham. I get back up, I get back up, Mr. President. I look at him one more time, I go, Now, let me finish what I was saying. Hmm. Oh, man. And then I finished it. Okay. That—Trump ended that by saying, So I guess no more vaccine talk. I said, I think that's a good idea. I said, I think you're gonna learn a lot about it. But yes, I think that's a good idea, cause that's the only thing that would make us ever boo you, Mr. President. Yeah, cause you're right. Thank you. That's amazing. I mean, that's one of the things that I think a lot of people didn't agree with him on, and it was the vaccine and him being proud of it. And Jason actually has a story that's similar to this. Well, the thing about Trump and the vaccine—Trump never mandated the vaccine. No, exactly. Trump said— Nah. You're all the doctors, go figure out how to make this stuff. Yeah. Right. You need to make this available. And he trusted these people that we now all know are a bunch of depopulationist animals. We all know that now. But he never mandated it, because mandating an experimental medical procedure violates the Nuremberg Code, it's a crime against humanity. Yeah. Which I hope we see that play out, because people need to be held accountable for that— Do you think it will be? in a major way. I think it's—I think it will. Yeah. So that was the story there. So you know, again, he has called me since then. He does text me back from the Super Bowl. He has invited me to mo—So I did not lose my friendship with him. I think, if anything, uh, based on a couple of things he's asked me over the last year or so, he probably appreciates the fact that I'll give him, say something to him that he don't really want to hear.

From touring with Slipknot to opening for Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine in the US, Bleed From Within are a band on the rise

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. 

President Donald Trump issued a Labor Day appeal for Pfizer to share its COVID-19 vaccine data with the CDC and the public immediately. Trump said on Truth Social that Pfizer had shown him impressive numbers on its COVID vaccine, but that they had not made them publicly available. His call for transparency comes after the White House fired CDC Director Susan Monarez last week following her clash with Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over the approval of COVID vaccines.  “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW,” Trump wrote. “I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not??? They go off to the next ‘hunt’ and let everyone rip themselves apart, including Bobby Kennedy Jr. and CDC, trying to figure out the success or failure of the Drug Companies Covid work.” “They show me GREAT numbers and results, but they don’t seem to be showing them to many others,” Trump added. “I want them to show them NOW, to CDC and the public, and clear up this MESS, one way or the other!!! I hope OPERATION WARP SPEED was as ‘BRILLIANT’ as many say it was. If not, we all want to know about it, and why???” During his first term, Trump launched “Operation Warp Speed” to fast-track the development and approval of COVID-19 vaccines. Under the Biden administration, mandates were introduced requiring vaccination for the military, healthcare workers at federally funded facilities, federal employees and contractors, and employees of large businesses. Federal courts later blocked some of these mandates, while others remained in effect. After Monarez was fired last week, Kennedy appointed HHS Deputy Director Jim O’Neil as the acting director of the CDC. Monarez was terminated after she failed to commit to rescinding her approval for certain COVID-19 vaccine age groups. At least four senior CDC officials left in protest over Monarez’s firing.  Those resignations came as the FDA rolled out new guidelines for the COVID vaccine, approving its use for those 65 and older and limiting approval for those between the ages of 5 and 64. “The emergency use authorizations for Covid vaccines, once used to justify broad mandates on the general public during the Biden administration, are now rescinded,” Kennedy announced. “FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+). These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that India has offered to reduce its tariffs on U.S. goods to zero, even as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was making public shows of solidarity with Chinese and Russian leaders in the face of trade pressure from Washington. While calling the U.S. relationship with India “one sided,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: “They have now offered to cut their Tariffs to nothing, but it’s getting late. They should have done so years ago.” The Indian Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to Trump’s comments, which follow the implementation of total duties as high as 50% on Indian goods that have raised questions about the future of the U.S.-India relationship. Trump’s remark came as Modi was in China for a summit of more than 20 leaders of non-Western countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a China-backed initiative given renewed impetus by Trump’s global tariff offensive. At the summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping pressed his vision for a new global security and economic order that prioritizes the “Global South,” in a direct challenge to the U.S. The U.S.-India relationship has strengthened in recent years, including during Trump’s first term, given shared concerns about China’s growing power, but Trump threatened the tariffs on India after it refused to stop buying Russian oil in defiance of his efforts to end Moscow’s war in Ukraine. In China, in an image designed to convey solidarity, Putin and Modi were shown holding hands as they walked jovially toward Xi before the summit opened. The three men stood shoulder-to-shoulder, laughing and surrounded by interpreters. Beijing has used the summit to mend ties with New Delhi. Modi, visiting China for the first time in seven years, and Xi agreed on Sunday their countries are development partners, not rivals, and discussed ways to improve trade. The U.S. State Department and White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the meetings in China.

In recent years, California’s K-12 schools, colleges, and universities have increasingly begun classroom sessions and meetings with land acknowledgements.  For those unfamiliar, the California Community Colleges (CCC) website explains that a land acknowledgement is “a formal statement that recognizes and respects the Indigenous peoples as traditional stewards of this land, the enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous peoples and their traditional lands.” The CCC further argues that “all of California is Indian land” and that these acknowledgements are a recognition of “the original people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial.” Reading this language for the first time can be jarring for the uninitiated. It’s one thing to acknowledge and show respect to indigenous tribes of the past, it’s another to require school children and administrators to publicly recite these statements. It is true, much of North America was inhabited by a wide variety of Indian tribes. The westward push of European settlers brought an inevitable clash of civilizations with Indigenous peoples. Some encounters led to trade and cooperation, while others descended into violence. Many tribes were nomadic and waged war against rival tribes and settlers alike. But as American settler populations grew, treaties were broken, land was seized, and tribes were forcibly moved. Given this history, it is fair to ask what ultimate purpose land acknowledgements serve today. While they are said to honor Indigenous history and affirm their continued presence, it remains questionable what actual, positive impact these statements have. They do not appear to improve living conditions or economic outcomes for Native Americans — nor do they provide concrete restitution or reform. Instead, they often operate as a type of forced ritual that foments resentment toward America and Americans of European descent. Take, for example, a land acknowledgement currently used in a Southern California school district: I want to recognize that our District and school campuses are located in the Village of Pasbenga. I want to acknowledge that this land we refer to as Orange County, is the unceded and traditional lands of the Gabrielino Tongva Nation, and the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians Acjachemen Nation. These lands were taken through a process of colonization, physical, and cultural genocide. I want to pay my respect to elders, both past and present, as well as the Tongva and Acjachemen Youth who have attended and are currently attending our schools in the neighboring districts. I find this not only unhelpful but grossly inappropriate — particularly for pre-kindergarten or elementary-aged children, who are subject to various versions of these acknowledgements through ethnic studies programs like the California Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum. Children in public schools are exposed to highly politicized narratives about guilt, victimization, and responsibility — long before they are able to grapple with such complex or contentious historical realities. One of the central flaws of land acknowledgements is that those who promote them rarely pair acknowledgment of past wrongs with any tangible action to remedy them. It reveals an institutional comfort with empty, performative statements: moralizing language that resonates in assemblies and boardrooms but does not foster improvements for Native communities. If academic institutions truly believed their own rhetoric, the only meaningful next step would be the return of their own land — or substantial, material investment. Yet there are no examples of these institutions actually returning any land. For educators and administrators, the ritual of land acknowledgement belies a more insidious lesson for students: that words without action are sufficient, that virtue is to be signaled but need not be practiced. Children are perceptive. They know, or eventually learn, when adults say one thing but do another. In the long run, this undermines trust and models a kind of hypocrisy — a failure to follow words with real change. There is another critical aspect frequently overlooked: land acknowledgements fundamentally bypass the authority of parents to determine how values are taught to their own children. In California’s educational system, land acknowledgements are often treated as mandatory and thus serve as vehicles for moral instruction. They transmit a particular worldview about history and justice which may conflict with what some parents believe and wish to impart themselves. The primary function of public education is not to instill contested moral values, but rather to equip students with knowledge and analytical tools. Land acknowledgements risk inverting that focus, making politics rather than learning the centerpiece of the classroom experience. Finally, the most serious issue may be that land acknowledgements overlook or even erase the substantive progress that has been made to address historical wrongs. Over recent decades, the U.S. government has implemented extensive settlement and reparation processes in recognition of the suffering endured by Native Americans. The Cobell settlement in 2009, for example, allocated $3.4 billion in compensation for government mismanagement of tribal funds and resources. There have also been concrete land returns, such as the restoration of Blue Lake to Taos Pueblo, acreage to the Havasupai, and tribal land initiatives in California involving over 38,000 acres transferred back for stewardship and management. Neither California nor the federal government can ever fully undo the harms of the past. Rather than engage in hollow, performative gestures, educational leaders should actively support positive, meaningful efforts like investing in Native communities, supporting language and culture, and teaching students the full truth of history along with contemporary progress. We must move beyond symbolic language and show California’s students and families, by example, what real partnership, restitution, and responsibility look like. * * * Walter Myers III is a Southern California-based Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute.
