Biden Admin Wanted To Embed ‘Trusted Covid Messenger’ On Joe Rogan, Barstool Sports

Was CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta – who Rogan absolutely owned – part of this effort?

The Biden administration attempted to place a “trusted messenger” on the Joe Rogan podcast and Barstool Sports to push Covid-19 jabs, according to records obtained by Judicial Watch.

Contained within 249 pages of records obtained from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) – because they had to sue the to obtain them – is evidence of a massive public education campaign plan dated April 19 to May 31, 2001, which laid out the agency’s plans to push the toxic jab through various media outlets.

In it, the agency wanted to “Place a trusted messenger on the Joe Rogan Show and Barstool Sports to promote the toxic jab (work with outside expert to identify who will be most effective).”

“As has been reported previously, HHS, in both the Trump and Biden Administrations, has done regular engagements to ensure Americans know about COVID-19 and the resources that they have to protect themselves,” a HHS spokesperson told National Review.

The Trump administration launched its own $250 million Building Vaccine Confidence campaign to encourage Americans to get the Covid-19 jab, which also included the use of paid and earned media.

“The ‘We Can Do This’ public education campaign under the Biden Administration has worked hard when it comes to reaching communities across the U.S. where they are, and informing them about safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines through paid and digital media, influencer engagement, and partnership outreach,” the spokesperson added. “Through ‘We Can Do This’ and other efforts, HHS will continue to encourage people to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine and fight vaccine misinformation.” -NR

Was CNN‘s Dr. Sanjay Gupta – who Rogan absolutely owned – part of this effort?

Rogan has caused mass triggerings throughout the pandemic for wrongthink – from discussing his use of Ivermectin to treat his own Covid-19 infection, to providing a platform for ‘controversial’ guests such as Dr. Robert Malone, a scientist who invented foundational technology to mRNA jabs.

Rogan’s podcasts led to celebrity singers such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell threatening to pull their music from Spotify, which paid Rogan over $100 million to move to the platform. Instead of removing their crown jewel, they instead added ‘content advisory’ warnings to any podcast that discussed Covid-19.

In April 2021, HHS announced the launch of a “nationwide, grassroots network of local voices and trusted community leaders to encourage vaccinations, with more than 275 founding member organizations that have the ability to reach millions of Americans,” NR reports.

“This effort will mobilize health professionals, scientists, community organizations, faith leaders, businesses, rural stakeholders, civil rights organizations, sports leagues and athletes, and Americans from all walks of life to become leaders within their own communities to help get friends, family, and neighbors vaccinated,” read an agency press release.

The HHS documents obtained by Judicial Watch included a number of paths the agency could potentially use to promote the toxic jab, including to request a vaccination special on Christian Broadcast Network featuring Evangelic leaders, to request that major TV entertainment feature hosts get vaccinated on air, and to convene an editorial meeting with the publishers of Catholic newspaper and newsletters across the country, including America Magazine, Florida Catholic, The Catholic Spirit, and The Tablet.

Other objectives on the list included requesting that “the TV morning and daytime talk shows feature special vaccination reunion moments with everyday Americans talking about what this means to them (ex: hugging grandma for the first time)” and requesting vaccination specials with BET, The Undefeated, Desus & Mero, and Hot Ones. -National Review

Those electric vehicles that are gonna save the world or whatever — well, lots of them just became a primo fire hazard in Florida:

A top Florida state official warned Thursday that firefighters have battled a number of fires caused by electric vehicle (EV) batteries waterlogged from Hurricane Ian.

EV batteries that have been waterlogged in the wake of the hurricane are at risk of corrosion, which could lead to unexpected fires, according to Jimmy Patronis, the state's top financial officer and fire marshal.

"There's a ton of EVs disabled from Ian. As those batteries corrode, fires start," Patronis tweeted Thursday. "That's a new challenge that our firefighters haven't faced before. At least on this kind of scale."

It's not exactly the ideal way a fireman wants to spend his afternoon:
