Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report.

As the 2024 election season heats up the FBI has created a new terrorism category to include Trump supporters.

This is taking place at the same time the Biden regime is targeting President Trump with over 91 politicized indictments in several states.

And it occurs as the doddering fake president screams about “ultra-MAGA” during his public speeches.

The Gateway Pundit observed: “What’s next – prison camps? And for the record, MAGA and infiltrators caused $1.5 million in damages.
The BLM summer of love protests-riots caused nearly $2 billion in damages.

So this new focus by the FBI is clearly political targeting and unconstitutional.

According to Newsweek:

“The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers. The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current ‘anti-government’ investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.”

FBI whistleblower Steve Friend is calling for the indictment and arrest of every single FBI and DOJ executive who took part in this scam and to abolish the FBI.

Friend said he was glad to see Newsweek reporting that “everything I blew the whistle about is accurate. The FBI used January 6th to manipulate and artificially boost its domestic terrorism stats.”

Friend further stated that, “While the number of investigations in 2021 almost doubled from 2020 to around 9,000, the number of ‘full investigations’ that led to arrests was only 1,446, not much more than the number of 1,146 January 6 protesters who have been charged with a crime.”

The Gateway Pundit reports that Joe Biden emerged from hiding in his basement bunker this week to deliver remarks on his renewed efforts to cancel student loan debt.

Biden announced he is canceling $9 billion in student loan debt for 125,000 borrowers as debt repayments resumed.

CNBC reported: “More than $5 billion of the aid will go to 53,000 borrowers who’ve worked in public service for a decade or more; $2.8 billion of the forgiveness is for 51,000 borrowers enrolled in income-driven repayment plans; and another $1.2 billion of the cancellation will go to 22,000 borrowers with disabilities.” 

Of course, the student loans aren’t really canceled. Biden is just forcing middle and working-class citizens to pay for other people’s student loans.

This is also another ploy for Joe Biden to secure the GenZ and millennial vote going into the 2024 election after the Supreme Court struck down his unconstitutional bailout program. Recall that he used this same gimmick ahead of the 2022 midterms.

Now he’s back with a new plan.

Biden misfired and completely botched the new website, stating “student aid dash gov, student aid dash…”

After his unhinged remarks, Biden shuffled away. Reporters continued to shout questions at Biden as he approached the door.

“What’s your advice to the next House speaker?” a reporter shouted one day after Kevin McCarthy was dethroned.

Joe Biden turned around, flashed a creepy grin, and said something rather astonishingly honest, for a change.

He was asked a simple question: Does he have any advice for the new Speaker of the House. And that was too tough for him. Above his pay grade. Wow.

Speaking of the race for the Speakership, Jim Jordan is in. Steve Scalise is in. Elise Stafanik is too. But so is Donald Trump.

Jordan didn’t sound too enthused about Trump taking on the role of Speaker.

Tens of thousands of protesters hit the Berlin streets to show their anger over the never-ending flow of arms supplied to Ukraine. Protesters voiced their displeasure for arms deliveries to Ukraine and called for a diplomatic settlement to the conflict. Many protesters carried German flags and posters calling for an end to arms supplies to Kyiv and a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.

75,000 healthcare workers with the nation’s largest health provider, Kaiser Permanente in California, Virginia, and three other states, went on strike Wednesday over staffing shortages.

The three-day walkout involves nurses, technicians, pharmacists and support staff.

Healthcare workers are striking over wage increases, nationwide minimum wage, health benefits, retirement plans, and tuition assistance programs.

AP reported that the nonprofit company, based in Oakland, California, provides health coverage for nearly 13 million people, sending customers to clinics and hospitals it runs or contracts with to provide care.

The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, representing about 85,000 of the health system’s employees nationally, approved a strike for three days in California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington, and for one day in Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Here’s a report from KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles:

FrankNez.com reports that Wells Fargo is now scheduled to close 100 branches this year according to records from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

A spokesperson for the bank told Daily Mail that although branches in many regions are closing, a smaller number are opening in a handful of successful markets.

“While the total number of branches continues to decline, new branches are being opened in high growth neighborhoods of existing markets, allowing us to offer more branch convenience,” they wrote.

“We may also open new branches where we combine two older existing branches into one better situated location.

Additionally, customers use our wide range of digital capabilities for many of their banking needs and, as a result, more transactions are happening outside the branch,” they added. 

Wells Fargo executives said the move to shutter the branch locations reflects a surging use of online banking and a diminishing need for brick-and-mortar stores, per The-Sun.

“Customers use our wide range of digital capabilities for many of their banking needs and, as a result, more transactions are happening outside the branch,” a spokesperson for Wells Fargo told the Albuquerque Journal.

“As customer preferences and transaction patterns change, so will our branches and the experiences customers have in them.”

In August, Daily Mail reported that Wells Fargo had filed to close 37 branches nationwide as online competition swept up new customers.

Seven Wells Fargo branches are currently scheduled to shutter in California for the month of October.

But Wells Fargo isn’t the only bank closing several of its branches.

In fact, JPMorgan Chase has closed the most branches with many more scheduled to shutter by year’s end.

JPMorgan Chase is shuttering 144 branches, while opening 133.

Kiplinger reports that the trend of bank closures will likely continue as banks face heavy competition for deposits and younger customers from online banks, fintech firms and Big Tech.

A high school football player died suddenly after suffering a “medical emergency” on the sidelines of a game in Georgia, the school district confirmed to the Associated Press.

The junior varsity team from Windsor Forest High School was playing Monday night when on-site emergency responders rushed to help one of its players, the Savannah-Chatham County school district said in a news release.

It said the player was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital, but gave no further details about what happened.

Chatham County Coroner David Campbell identified the player as 15-year-old Keshaun Allen, local news outlets reported. He said an autopsy was planned to determine the cause of death.

School officials said the student had played earlier in the game, but had rotated out before needing medical attention.

As we’ve reported previously, more than 10,000 illegal aliens are streaming across the border from Mexico every day under Joe Biden’s watch.

But those are just the ones that get caught and then released into America, then they get on buses that ship them to cities across the country.

What about the illegals who don’t wish to get caught?

Here’s Ben Bergquam with a report from the border.

 Yahoo! News reports that artificial intelligence is expected to have the most impact on practically everything since the advent of the internet. 

But AI’s big breakout comes at a cost: It requires much more energy.

Take for example OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT. Research done at the University of Washington shows that hundreds of millions of queries on ChatGPT can cost around 1 gigawatt-hour a day, or the equivalent energy consumed by 33,000 U.S. households.

Professor of electrical and computer engineering Sajjad Moazeni told Yahoo Finance:

“The energy consumption of something like ChatGPT inquiry compared to some inquiry on your email, for example, is going to be probably 10 to 100 times more power hungry.”

Industry participants say this is only the beginning of what’s to come.

Experts say we’re currently at roughly 1% of where the AI adoption will be in the next two to three years. 

And the growth of AI is going to throw the world into an energy crisis.

Data centers are the culprit. They are the physical locations with thousands of processing units and servers at the core of the cloud-computing industry largely managed by Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Angelo Zino, VP and senior equity analyst at CFRA Research, told Yahoo Finance:

“As you think of this shift towards these larger foundation models, at the end of the day you’re going to need these data centers to require a lot more energy as a whole.”

Data centers have increasingly shifted from using simpler processors, called CPUs, to more advanced graphics processing units, or GPUs. Those components, made by companies like Nvidia, are the most energy intensive.

Brady Brim-Deforest, CEO of Formula Monks, an AI technology consulting company, explained:

“For the next decade, GPUs are going to be the core of AI infrastructure. And GPUs consume 10 to 15 times the amount of power per processing cycle than CPUs do. They’re very energy intensive. Energy consumption is going to dramatically increase on a global scale, simply because of the energy-intensive nature of AI.”

Zero Hedge reports that with Switzerland being the global headquarters of the World Economic Forum, which is tasked with ushering in new world order totalitarianism, the recent sentencing of a Swiss-French writer for what could best be described as a thought crime should come as no surprise. 

Writer and social commentator Alain Soral was handed a 60-day jail sentence for chastising a critic of his after he took aim at their body image and sexual orientation. Soral lashed out at the journalist by calling her a “fat lesbian.” 

A Swiss court ruled that Soral's remarks constituted criminal hate speech.

Soral's remarks occurred two years ago when he took aim at Catherine Macherel, a journalist who prided herself in using her platform to advance LGBTQ causes. Sorel turned to Facebook to air his grievances in a video in which he described Macherel as “unhinged” for her activism. His remarks resulted in his arrest, conviction, and sentencing to 3 months in prison in April 2021. 

Soral's sentence was one of the first to follow sweeping legislation in 2020 which criminalized statements that hurt the feelings of LGBTQ minorities. However, Soral was initially able to escape the prison time handed down to him following a successful appeal in December 2022, instead only receiving a fine as punishment.

While Soral was initially able to evade a conviction, prosecutors were relentless in their pursuit by instigating a further appeal which would ultimately lead to the maximum sentence the court could hand down. That six-month prison sentence exceeded the original three-month prison term he faced. The decision to penalize Soral under the full force of the law was applauded by LGBTQ groups across Switzerland as a testament to the success of the country's criminalization of free speech. 

Murial Waeger, co-director of the lesbian activist group LOS, said:

“This court decision is an important moment for justice and rights of LGBTQI people in Switzerland. The conviction of Alain Soral is a strong signal that homophobic hatred cannot be tolerated in our society.”

Time now for our Worldview Report Commentary.

There’s a new TV show starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Weatherspoon, called The Morning Show. It portrays pro-life Americans as villains and pro-abortion activists as heroes.

The Morning Show is the latest installment of Hollywood’s longstanding propaganda war on human life. They are determined to make sure as few babies as possible make it out of the womb alive. 

In the premiere of Season 3, journalist Alex Levy (played by Jennifer Aniston) and anchor Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) cover the fall of Roe v. Wade and the story of a young woman smuggling abortion pills across the border from Mexico into Texas. Those providing illegal abortions are portrayed as heroes. Witherspoon’s character, who admitted to having an abortion on-air in the first season, wants to cover this story and tells Levy why.

“There’s this woman in Texas,” she says. “And she crosses over the border every single month into Mexico to get abortion pills for women who cannot drive hours to the nearest clinic. She’s doing work that really matters.” According to Jackson, the abortion pill “saves lives” (the pre-born child being aborted is not referred to) and she later refers to crisis pregnancy centers as “fake clinics” that “routinely lie to pregnant women about how far along they are, so that they think they’re too late to terminate the pregnancy.”

The journalists go on to refer to pregnancy care centers as “sick” and “insane,” while Levy (played by Aniston) lauds the illegal abortion pill smuggler in her news coverage as “part of an underground network of volunteers who have been bringing abortion pills from Mexico into the U.S. Medication abortion is safe, and it is effective, and here in the remote Rio Grande Valley often the only option.” 

Live Action published a response noting that the abortion pill can, in fact, be very dangerous to the mother, and that “Pregnancy care centers have helped hundreds of thousands of women with material goods and resources, including healthcare, housing, baby gear, diapers, clothing, daycare, educational opportunities, and more.”

One study estimated the value of the free services provided by pregnancy care centers to be over $270 million in just one year.

LifeSite News noted:

“We will be seeing much more of this pro-abortion propaganda from Hollywood over the next few years. Stories are powerful, and abortion activists want to use grand narratives, likeable characters, and fascinating moral dramas to shift a majority of Americans to their side — that is, for abortion, against pregnancy care centers, pro-life politicians, and pro-life laws, and ultimately, toward a new American consensus that will result in Roe being enshrined in federal statute.”

To be fair to the cast and crew of The Morning Show, their dramatic depiction of what the press looks like was dead on target. That really is how they talk — and they really are that up front about whose side they are on in the battle for human life. It’s not the young girls. It’s not the single mothers. It’s the abortion pill smugglers and the extremely lucrative multi-billion-dollar abortion industry.

That does it for this edition of the Worldview Report. Thanks for watching and for supporting this viewer-supported broadcast.
