Thursday on The Robert Scott Bell Show:
Hour 1
Special Guest Jonathan Emord
In this Sacred Fire of Liberty edition of The Robert Scott Bell Show, I’m joined by Jonathan Emord as we dive into the pressing issues threatening our liberties. We kick off the show by celebrating the launch of the Long COVID Masterclass—an event we’ve all been waiting for—where I sat down with some of the brightest minds, including Jonathan, to dissect the constitutional challenges we’ve faced and chart a course forward. We also give a nod to the upcoming Trinity Health Freedom Expo, a gathering that’s all about empowering people to take control of their health.
But we don’t stop there. We take on the insanity coming out of the Democratic National Convention, where we see everything from mobile abortion clinics to a disturbing rise in anti-Israel rhetoric. The moral decay is real, and we’re here to expose it. Jonathan and I break down how these radical agendas are eroding the values that built this nation, and we don’t mince words when it comes to calling out the dangerous path we’re on.
We wrap up by shining a light on the economic destruction caused by government overreach and misguided policies like price controls. History has shown us where this leads, and it’s not pretty. We’re here to remind everyone that standing firm on our foundational principles is the only way to preserve liberty and economic stability in these challenging times. The power to heal—and to protect our freedoms—is still yours.
For the past 37 years, Jonathan W. Emord has litigated against the federal bureaucracy, winning over and over again. Ron Paul calls Jonathan “an expert in constitutional theory and history” and “an expert litigatorwith a long string of legal victories over the federal bureaucracy.” George Noory calls him “a Knight in Shining Armor” and “a warrior out to save our rights.” Congressmen Dan Burton and John Doolittle describe him as “an intellectual warrior for the rights and freedoms of people in America.” Jonathan has a unique, detailed knowledge of the federal bureaucracy, the deep state. He knows how to defeat it. Jonathan graduated from the University of Illinois (BA, political science and history, 1982) and DePaul University College of Law (JD, 1985). He served as an attorney in the Federal Communications Commission during the Reagan administration. A leading constitutional law and litigation expert, he is the author of five critically acclaimed books. He has won more cases against the Food and Drug Administration in federal court than any other attorney in American history, earning him the nickname “FDA Dragon Slayer.” He is a columnist for Townhall.com, PJ Media.com, Americangreatness.com, and the U.S.A. Today Magazine. He frequently appears on national radio and television programs. He is married to Sheryl Emord, and they have two children, twins Justice and Angelica. They reside in Clifton, Virginia.
Politico: Vance’s Beard at Debate Could Be Viewed as ‘Conveying Aggression,’ Walz’s Wide Eyes Showed Passion A Politico analysis of the vice-presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz focused on body language cues. The article highlighted that Vance’s beard could be seen as conveying aggression, especially to women, symbolizing opposition to feminist ideals. Vance’s facial hair, being the first for a White House candidate in 80 years, was viewed as embodying strength and masculinity, but could also appear threatening. The article also analyzed Vance’s hand gestures, which conveyed sincerity, though the author noted it was unclear whether the gestures were authentic. On the other hand, Walz’s wide-eyed expressions during passionate moments of the debate were seen as signaling emotional intensity. Walz’s facial movements, particularly raising his eyebrows, were likened to primitive gestures meant to communicate danger or strong emotions. The analysis faced widespread mockery, with critics ridiculing the notion of associating Vance’s beard with sexism and aggression, and some even comparing Walz’s intense expressions to those of a “sith lord.”
John Kerry and the Circuitous Assault on Free Speech John Kerry recently highlighted the push for increased censorship, particularly around climate change, during a WorldEconomic Forum panel. He called for overcoming the “major block” of the First Amendment to enable “implementing change” in the face of “disinformation.” Kerry’s comments align with a broader movement, as seen in other figures like Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who have similarly advocated for reigning in free speech to control misinformation. Examples of this clampdown include punitive damages against journalist Mark Steyn for “climate denialism” and actions taken by New York State Attorney General Letitia James against political opponents like VDare, all of which point to an erosion of First Amendment protections. Academic freedom has also been targeted, as illustrated by the case of law professor Amy Wax, who was sanctioned for expressing controversial views on race and culture. The growing trend of using legal and social pressures to silence dissent challenges the very core of free speech protections, highlighting an increasing shift toward authoritarian control under the guise of combating misinformation.
The FOIA Lady Pleads the Fifth Margaret Moore, a public records officer at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has become embroiled in a scandal involving Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Emails revealed that David Morens, a former top advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci, allegedly learned how to evade FOIA searches by deleting emails or using personal accounts. Morens implicated Moore, colloquially known as “The FOIA Lady,” for teaching him tactics to avoid having emails captured by FOIA requests. This has led to an investigation by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, with Chairman Brad Wenstrup calling the situation a “cover-up” and issuing a subpoena to compel Moore to testify. While Moore has invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, her decision has raised serious concerns about transparency and accountability at NIH. Despite claims that Morens’ comments were made in jest, the controversy highlights a broader issue of public trust and the potential abuse of FOIA processes to shield information from the public.
Media Uses Hurricane Helene to Promote “Global Warming” Agenda The article critiques the mainstream media for using Hurricane Helene to push a narrativeabout global warming. Several prominent figures, such as CBS News’ Major Garrett and CNN’s Angela Fritz, linked the hurricane to climate change, despite evidence disputing these claims. Garrett suggested that extreme weather requires new terminology, falsely claiming an increase in natural disasters. Fritz attributed the hurricane to fossil fuel pollution, asserting that global warming has intensified storms, particularly in oceans. The article highlights opposing views, notably from Dr. Matt Wielicky, who argued that similar storms in 1916 were more severe despite lower CO2 levels, pointing to natural climate variability rather than fossil fuel emissions as a key factor. The piece also emphasizes that claims of a scientific consensus on global warming are overstated, criticizing media outlets for presenting this as a fact. The hurricane’s death toll reached 139, affecting multiple southeastern U.S. states. The article positions the media’s portrayal of Helene as part of a broader effort to promote the global warming agenda.
Healthier McDonald’s Options Available In Europe, But Not In The US At a Senate roundtable, food activist Vani Hari highlighted significant differences between McDonald’s menus in the U.S. and Europe, where healthier options are available. For example, while U.S. McDonald’s fries contain 11 ingredients, the UK version only has three, with salt being optional. This disparity underscores the lack of stringent U.S. regulations on food safety compared to Europe. In the U.S., many additives, including artificial dyes and preservatives banned in Europe, are still widely used due to a legal loophole that allows companies to self-regulate ingredients as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). Hari pointed out that harmful substances like azodicarbonamide, linked to cancer and used in bread, remain legal in the U.S. despite being banned elsewhere. The rise in food dye consumption, particularly among children, is also a growing concern, as these dyes are linked to health issues like hyperactivity. Experts are pushing for stricter regulations and transparency in ingredient labeling to better protect consumers, especially vulnerable populations like children.
BIDEN MAKING HISTORY: First to Oversee $1 Trillion in Improper Payments in a Single Term The Biden administration is on track to become the first to oversee over $1 trillion in improper payments during asingle presidential term. Improper payments include instances where the government pays the wrong person, wrong amount, or for the wrong reason, and are often caused by fraud or administrative errors. Federal agencies have already reported over $764 billion in improper payments between 2021 and 2023. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) have contributed significantly to this issue, particularly through mismanaged COVID-19 relief programs like Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and the Paycheck Protection Program. Despite efforts to reduce improper payments, the rate remains high, with 5.4% of federal outlays lost to payment errors in 2023. Critics argue that systemic reforms, including increased oversight and accountability, are needed to curb this financial waste. Some lawmakers are pushing for legislative measures, such as the Improper Payments Transparency Act, to address the problem, but significant challenges remain.
Hour 2
Only 1 in 10 children meet global health guidelines, researchers discover A global study found that only 14% of children aged three to four meet the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines for adequate physical activity, sleep, and screen time. The study analyzed 7,017 children from 33 countries and found widespread shortfalls in meeting health guidelines, especially in wealthier nations. The WHO recommends that children in this age group engage in at least 180 minutes of physical activity daily, with 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity, less than one hour of sedentary screen time, and 10-13 hours of quality sleep. The research revealed regional differences, with African children performing better (23.9% meeting the guidelines), while the Americas saw only 7.7% compliance. Lead researcher Dr. Kar Hau Chong emphasized the importance of early childhood habits for long-term health, warning that children not getting enough activity or sleep face developmental challenges. The researchers advocate for holistic approaches involving parents, educators, and policymakers to create environments that promote healthy behaviors.
Flu deaths in children hit new record as vaccination rates decrease: CDC The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a new record high of 200 pediatric flu-related deaths during the2023-2024 flu season, surpassing the previous record of 199 deaths during the 2019-2022 season. Alarmingly, around 80% of the children who died were not fully vaccinated against the flu, and nearly half had pre-existing medical conditions. Flu vaccination rates among children have declined significantly, with only 53.9% of children vaccinated this season, a decrease of 8.5% from pre-pandemic levels. Experts, including Dr. John Brownstein from Boston Children’s Hospital, emphasize the importance of flu vaccines in reducing the risk of severe complications and hospitalizations. Estimates show that flu vaccination can cut the risk of medical visits by two-thirds and halve the risk of hospitalization. The CDC continues to urge everyone over the age of six months to receive their flu vaccine, especially vulnerable populations such as young children and older adults, as flu activity peaks between December and February.
Radon-Induced Child Cancer Widespread Across US, Even at Low Levels A study led by Oregon State University researchers has found a connection between childhood leukemia and exposure to radon gas, even at levels below federal mitigation guidelines. The analysis, which covered over 700 counties across 14 U.S. states, revealed that radon—a naturally occurring radioactive gas—may pose greater health risks than previously understood, especially for children. While radon has long been recognized as a leading cause of lung cancer, this study is the first to link it to childhood leukemia. Researchers detected elevated risks even at concentrations lower than the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recommended action level of 148 becquerels per cubic meter. The study’s lead author, Matthew Bozigar, emphasized the need for further research to confirm whether radon exposure directly causes childhood leukemia, though the current findings establish a strong statistical association. The EPA continues to promote radon testing and mitigation but has no immediate plans to lower its recommended action levels. This research adds to a growing body of evidence from Europe linking radon to non-lung cancers.
Mediterranean diet significantly lowers heart failure risk, especially in women A new meta-analysis published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that adherence to the Mediterranean diet(Med Diet) is significantly associated with a reduced risk of heart failure (HF), particularly in women. Researchers analyzed data from six cohort studies involving over 216,000 adults and found that each one-point increase in adherence to the diet was linked to a 6% reduction in heart failure risk. The study highlights the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits of the Med Diet, which is rich in monounsaturated fats from olive oil and polyphenols from fruits and vegetables. These nutrients help reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and improve cardiovascular health. The study also found that the protective effects were more pronounced in women, possibly due to hormonal differences and women’s stronger cardiovascular response to anti-inflammatory foods. Despite the positive findings, researchers noted limitations such as outdated dietary assessments and the need for further studies to explore the long-term impact of the Med Diet on heart failure prevention.
