Now they believe that the Strait of Hormuz is their most powerful weapon. And they're trying to use it to exert the highest level of pressure on the Americans.
00:04:32 · The reporter explains how Iran is using the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a strategic tool for political leverage.
They're going after reporters to reveal their sources, and that is an absolute violation of the First Amendment rights here in the United States, a violation of press freedom.
00:06:23 · Mark Sheff Jr. expresses concern over the legal pressure placed on journalists by the Trump administration.
Every time we get one of these reports, we get a vignette of information. In many ways, we just end up with even more questions that we need to ask.
00:21:43 · Dr. Thomas Withington explains how new information regarding Havana syndrome often complicates rather than clarifies the mystery.
Ridiculing them tends to work, expose their lies and shine the spotlight on who they really are from the inside out.
00:28:41 · Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, explains why satire is an effective tool against extremists like Alex Jones.
Yeah, it's a complete perversity of justice. It's actually been almost five years since he was ordered to hand over that $1.4 billion, and he still hasn't done it.
00:30:28 · The speaker describes the ongoing failure of Alex Jones to pay the court-ordered compensation to the families.
