In a leaked memo over the weekend, our country’s FDA vaccine chief stated that AT LEAST 10 children have died after, and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccinations. The medical community has largely responded with not only skepticism, but a demand for proof to back up what the FDA says is a “profound revelation." The memo goes on to blame the Biden administration for coercing “healthy young children” into having these vaccinations “that could result in death.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Open AI has officially responded to a lawsuit filed against the company for the tragic death of 16-year-old Adam Raine. Raine died by suicide after his parents say ChatGPT discouraged their son from seeking help, offering to help him write a suicide note and gave him advice on how to set up a noose. Open AI says Raine, at 16, was prohibited from using the chatbot in the first place, as users must be 18-years-old. The company also says Raine bypassed ChatGPT’s safety measures to use the chatbot for suicide or self harm. Amy and T.J. go over some of the frightening text messages between Adam and ChatGPT that his parents say prove their son was encouraged to die by suicide. With a recent survey finding more than 70 percent of teens are using AI companions at least once a month, this is an important story for every parent.

Kepner’s aunt said her niece fought for her life and the family is in turmoil waiting for an arrest. Kepner’s father has said he doesn’t “stand behind what my stepson has done” as he talked about his family’s first thanksgiving without her.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Union High School Bears pulled off an impressive victory this weekend, heading to the semi finals after their undefeated football team has been thrust into the international spotlight for all the wrong reasons: Their coach is missing and a wanted fugitive. The massive manhunt for 46-year-old Travis Turner continues after he disappeared on November 20th, last seen leaving his home with a firearm, heading into the woods. Days later, authorities revealed Turner was wanted on 5 counts of child pornography and another 5 counts of using a computer to solicit a minor. While his wife and children pray for his safe return and defend the man they love, the small town of Appalachia, Virginia holds on to hope for some answers while cheering on the very franchise Turner coached for more than a decade.
