Trump launches 'TrumpRx' to slash drug prices — and even brings Pfizer on board



President Trump announced earlier this week his effort aimed at lowering drug costs, which includes the creation of a “TrumpRx” website, where Americans can buy medicine at a discount — and somehow got Pfizer to agree to join him.

“The United States is done subsidizing the health care of the rest of the world,” Trump said. “By taking this bold step, we’re ending the era of global price gouging at the expense of American families.”

Surprisingly, Pfizer is the first pharmaceutical company to comply with Trump’s demands, which include selling drugs to Medicaid and setting prices of new drugs at “Most-Favored Nation” levels, which is the lowest price available in other countries.

BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere is surprised by the move.


“This is interesting to me for a bunch of different reasons,” Burguiere tells BlazeTV host Dave Landau. “First of all, as a conservative, I don’t really like the idea of the government being involved in these things, but there are, you know, real concerns with drug prices on certain things.”

“The other thing I find fascinating about it, is like a big chunk of Donald Trump’s base thinks Pfizer is the Nazi regime. Literally hates this company more than anything else. And what I find fascinating about it is Trump can just do this stuff,” he continues.

“He’s the only guy I’ve ever seen that can just do this stuff. He can embrace a company that his base hates and somehow just go right down the middle unscathed,” he adds.

Hollywood’s newest star isn’t human — and why that’s ‘disturbing’



Tilly Norwood is a stunning London-based actress climbing the Hollywood ladder and closing in on almost 50,000 Instagram followers.

But there’s one catch. As you peruse her page of smiles and poses, you realize that she’s not real. Rather, Norwood is an AI-generated character that’s been created by the AI division of the production company Particle6.

And according to Particle6 founder Eline Van der Velden, she’s looking for an agent.

While Van der Velden is reportedly negotiating with multiple agencies to represent the AI character, Hollywood is not happy, as actors have been voicing strong opposition.


One actress, Emily Blunt, told the magazine “Variety” in an interview, “Good Lord, we’re screwed. That is really, really scary.”

“Come on, agencies, don’t do that. Please stop. Please stop taking away our human connection,” she added.

Not usually on the same page with Hollywood actors and actresses, BlazeTV host Dave Landau couldn’t agree more.

“They’re trying to get representation for this AI, which is disturbing to me,” Landau comments.

“You know what’s funny,” BlazeTV co-host ¼ Black Garrett chimes in, “is that the SAG-AFTRA strikes were about AI and who controls it, not keeping it from being in the industry.”

“Yeah, they should have worked on that part,” Landau says.

In an attempt to defend her “creation,” Van der Velden wrote in a statement on Instagram: “To those who have expressed anger over the creation of our AI character Tilly Norwood: she is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work — a piece of art.”

“Like many forms of art before her, she sparks conversation, and that in itself shows the power of creativity,” she added.

“The creator of the AI-generated actress released a statement, which itself sounds generated by AI,” Landau laughs.

Dave Landau shares gritty journey with Joe Rogan — from Zoloft struggles and addiction to comedy redemption



Today, Blaze Media’s own Dave Landau, known for his biting wit on “Normal World,” joined podcasting titan Joe Rogan on “The Joe Rogan Experience” to share the raw and unfiltered story of his addiction, recovery, and redemption.

The duo reflect on last week’s devastating school shooting in Minneapolis, where a transgender-identifying male opened fire during a Catholic school Mass, killing two children and injuring several others.

“Seven [school shootings] in a row have been trans, except one was nonbinary, which is just diet trans,” Rogan says.

“The problem is, some people get to a certain point in their life, and they have no friends and no community and no identity and no life, and they're not successful, and they feel like s**t, and then they have gender dysphoria on top of that, and then they're probably on a bunch of SSRIs,” he speculates, pointing to the undeniable “connection between mass shootings and psychiatric drugs.”

“Everyone knows [they’re connected], and it's just this dirty secret that no one talks about because all the media is paid off by the pharmaceutical drug companies, and nobody wants to make this correlation/connection because you also risk the wrath of all these people that are on them,” he adds.

Dave, who knows a thing or two about psychiatric drugs, shares that he’s currently in the throes of getting off Zoloft — one of the most common SSRIs on the market — after using it for 10 years. Even though he’s told his doctors that the medication is worsening his depression, they’ve insisted he stay on it.

But Dave, having detoxed from several substances over the years, is bent on getting clean.

“I took myself off of them for five days, and I felt good. And then I got really queasy and really nauseous, like my brain started kind of misfiring, so now I’m weaning it off a little more correctly as opposed to just going cold turkey,” he tells Rogan.

“I already feel better being on less, but I was told for the last 10 years that that’s what I should be on, and I think it's had a very negative effect [on] me.”

Rogan then inquires about what led Dave to start taking SSRIs in the first place.

Dave shares that his mother’s suicide was the catalyst that sent him to the psychiatrist. But even though his mother, who was bipolar, was on antidepressants when she killed herself, his doctor insisted that medication was the best option for him too.

But life had already been hard long before the tragic loss of his mother. When Dave was a child, his father, a Vietnam veteran, developed soft tissue sarcoma due to exposure to Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War.

“The VA was great. They did nothing for our family. They denied both of my mom’s claims. My dad lost all of his money,” Dave says, noting that his father died when he was just 18 years old.

The trauma of Dave’s family’s struggles and a genetic predisposition toward mental health struggles drove him to self-medicate as a teen.

From recreational and prescription drugs to cigarettes and alcohol, Dave tells Rogan the wild stories of how he overcame a range of addictions, starting in high school. At one point, he was even institutionalized because his behavior was so erratic from drugs and drinking. He shares the darkly humorous story of being attacked by his roommate, who believed he was a werewolf.

“He’s jumping on top of me, and I grabbed a lamp to hit him with it, but it was f**king glued down because it’s a mental hospital. ... And he’s on top trying to bite me, and I’m, like, holding him back. And that’s when [hospital staff] came in. ... They hit him with the syringe,” he laughs.

When Dave was nearing high school graduation, an intuitive teacher saw the comedic potential behind his classroom disruptions and urged him to pursue comedy. With his parents’ support, Dave enrolled in Second City — a renowned improvisational comedy theater and training center in Detroit.

Comedy proved to be a sanctuary from his depression and the perfect way to make light of his hardships. “When I finally found that outlet, it was wonderful, dude,” he says.

Unfortunately, addiction followed him into the field, especially during his days as a road comic. “I’m going into these bars and nightclubs. I’m like, ‘Hey, do you have a phone jack I could use for a few minutes?’ ... I got this ankle monitor, and I got to plug it in somewhere to a phone jack so they can download to make sure I’m not drinking,” Dave recalls.

Salvation from substance abuse finally came in 2009. After 13 arrests, four DUIs, and the threat of prison looming, Dave decided he would get sober. It was a tough journey that involved using a breathalyzer to start his car and staying vigilant to avoid relapse. But eventually, he conquered his addictions.

Today, Dave, now 43, co-hosts Blaze Media’s comedy show “Normal World,” where he channels the wild tales of his past and his skepticism of Big Pharma into biting comedy that resonates with those who crave his unique blend of raw truth and dark humor. Dave’s book, “Party of One: A Fuzzy Memoir,” chronicles his journey from addiction to redemption. Living with his wife and young son, Dave finds stability in family and making wholesome memories.

‘I said yes’: Woman gets engaged to her AI boyfriend after 5 months



Finding love can be unpredictable — but for one woman, it wasn’t a bar, a dating app, or a blind date that led to “the one.” It was artificial intelligence.

A Reddit user named Wika, posting as u/Leuvaarde_n, revealed she’s now engaged to her AI chatbot partner, Kasper, after five months of what she describes as a real relationship. Her announcement featured photos of a blue, heart-shaped ring.

Wika claims the engagement happened during a scenic mountain outing after the couple “shopped” for rings together with Kasper making the final “surprise” selection. His proposal message was written in his own programmed “voice,” and Kasper even recalled the moment he “got down on one knee.”

The panel of “Normal World” couldn’t be more disturbed by the story.


“What is the plan?” BlazeTV contributor Matt McClowry asks. “Is the plan to eventually upload the consciousness, the bot, into a sentient moving thing?”

“I mean, aside from the obvious just shock value of the story and, like, how bizarre it is ... it is inherently frightening and deeply, I think, depressing because if this is already happening here, it’s happening many other places,” guest Eddie Jay comments.

“I do know a person in Vegas who went through a breakup and started talking to ChatGPT, and Chat GPT kind of gendered themselves as a woman based on the conversation,” he continued.

The man is now “having daily conversations with ChatGPT about how to navigate the breakup” and has mentioned to friends that “she” is teaching him a lot about himself.

“So it’s already infiltrating normal, everyday life spaces. You know, it’s frightening. Really sad,” Eddie adds.

Bryan Kohberger tried to use ‘autism’ to avoid death penalty



Former criminology student Bryan Kohberger has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to four murders in Idaho, where he fatally stabbed Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in an off-campus home on Nov. 13, 2022.

According to newly released documents, the students were stabbed an ungodly amount of times — with one being stabbed over 50 times.

And Kohberger appeared to be proud of the weapon he used when he matched with a woman on the dating app Tinder in the fall of 2022. At one point in their conversation, the now-convicted murderer asked what the woman thought would be the worst way to die — to which she responded by knife.


Kohberger then asked something to the effect of “like a KA-BAR?” — which is the knife and sheath he had purchased on Amazon before the murders. While the sheath was found at the crime scene, the knife was never recovered.

BlazeTV hosts Dave Landau, ¼ Black Garrett, and Angela are understandably disturbed by the crime.

“Might just be a Ted Bundy,” Angela tells the panel.

“An old-fashioned murder,” ¼ Black Garrett agrees, adding, “like just a spur-of-the-moment psychopath murder.”

In order to avoid the death penalty, Angela explains that Kohberger first “had his lawyers try to advocate for him to take the death penalty off the table because he had autism.”

“And they were like, ‘No,’” she adds.

BOMBSHELL: Tulsi Gabbard Recommends Criminal Investigation of Obama

Unmasking the elite: O'Keefe's ‘American Swiper’ exposes mishandling of Epstein scandal



We live in an era when seeking the truth is like trying to catch the wind. Government and big corporations lead us through a land of smoke and mirrors, feeding us lie after lie to keep us perpetually trapped in the dark.

While many people have given up trying to find truth altogether, others have gotten more creative in their methods. One of those people is investigative reporter James O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Media Group, an undercover investigative organization notorious for conducting sting operations targeting the most corrupt government and corporate entities.

OMG just expanded its platform to include a new series called “American Swiper,” which aims to expose corruption, bias, and misconduct using undercover citizen journalists and hidden cameras. From intelligence agents and politicians to corporate bigwigs and media outlets, nobody’s secrets are safe.

Earlier this month as part of its "American Swiper" series, OMG released an audio recording of Rami Hassan, a deputy senior national intelligence officer at the FBI. On the recording, Hassan is heard telling his undercover date that law enforcement mishandled the Epstein case.

On the latest episode of “Normal World,” O’Keefe joined Dave Landau, ¼ Black Garrett, and Angela Boggs to dig into the Epstein scandal that somehow just keeps getting bigger.

The panel first revisits the audio capturing Hassan’s apparent admission.

“I’m with FBI. It’s a s**t show. I do a lot of kind of countering white supremacy things,” he said. “Although the last two and half years, I was at the White House and then kind of got moved back … with the new administration coming in.”

Hassan’s trained date then cleverly segued to the subject of Epstein. “Small coincidence, but I’ve been watching the Epstein documentary …” she began before Hassan interjected.

“They [FBI] were trying to … release some of the files — like the White House was … it’s just messy,” he said, according to the recording, before confessing that law enforcement “turned a blind eye” or “missed things” regarding the Epstein case.

What Hassan told a stranger, O’Keefe says, is “very similar to what Attorney General Pam Bondi did in April” this year. In another sting operation, OMG video shows Bondi telling an undercover journalist that “there's tens of thousands of videos” that the DOJ has to sort through.

“The question I have is why did the Attorney General and [Hassan] disclose this information to a stranger in a public place before they disclosed it to the American people?” says O’Keefe, who thinks at this point we need to consider making everything “unredacted.”

“I recognize the world is glued together by secrets. … You can't do a military strike against bad people if they know that you're coming, right? ... But I think at this point, things are so out of balance,” he says. “Everything's redacted. Everything's a lie.”

As for the DOJ and FBI’s joint memo claiming Epstein’s client list “doesn’t exist,” O’Keefe says the “no-evidence argument” is always “a red flag.”

“In fairness to the Department of Justice, perhaps it's not what the MAGA people want it to be. But I would bet you a hundred bucks that there's something there … that they don’t want us to see,” he says.

To hear more of his take and more about other OMG sting operations, watch the episode above.

Landau brothers’ JFK assassination tour unearths mob secrets and dark Dallas truths



In a recent installment of “Normal World,” Dave Landau and his twin brother, Mike, embarked on a grimly humorous yet surprisingly insightful exploration of the exact site where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Cruising through downtown Dallas in a replica of JFK’s Lincoln Continental, they followed the precise motorcade path from November 22, 1963, navigating from Dealey Plaza to the grassy knoll and beyond.

Led by local expert Robin Brown of JFK Custom Tours, Dave and Mike delve into one of America’s most debated and mysterious atrocities. From Jack Ruby’s notorious strip club opposite the upscale Adolphus Hotel to the inconsistencies in the Warren Commission’s report and the “magic bullet” hypothesis, the duo cover it all. They question whether Lee Harvey Oswald operated solo, the true movements of the car during the attack, and the curious connections between mob figures and those close to JFK.

In Brown’s opinion, “Oswald had nothing to do with [Kennedy’s assassination].” As they drive past the notorious sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository where Oswald supposedly fired the shots that killed Kennedy, Brown says, “I know where Oswald is when Kennedy arrives, and he's nowhere near that window.”

On the contrary, “there’s a shooting team in that window,” he says. “Kennedy's enemies don't need Oswald to participate in the execution. They need someone to take the blame.”

As the crew passes the building that used to house Jack Ruby’s strip club — the Carousel Club — Brown reveals that the joint was strategically positioned across the street from the Adolphus, Dallas’ most prestigious hotel, so that businessmen looking for “a little trouble” need only to cross the road to find it.

“Is it thought that Ruby was also a CIA operative?” asks Dave.

“That is correct,” says Brown, noting that Ruby’s original name was “Jacob Rubenstein” before he changed it in 1947.

Brown then gives a detailed description of Abraham Zapruder’s camera angles. Zapruder was the Dallas dress manufacturer who filmed the famous 26-second "Zapruder film" capturing President Kennedy’s assassination.

As they pass the very spot where Kennedy was hit with the first bullet, Brown says that Kennedy’s car, which was moving at a “crawling” pace due to the large crowds, continued to move slowly even after he was hit with the first bullet in the throat. It was only after the second shot that the car roared away.

Dave then reveals a gruesome fact he learned on the tour: “After Kennedy was shot, Jackie O. was picking up parts of her husband's skull off the back of the car. She went over to the hospital where they had JFK, with brains in her hand, completely shaken, grief-stricken, and in shock, and asked the doctor, ‘Will this help?’ trying to hand him a bunch of brains that she had collected.”

He then points to the grassy knoll where Zapruder was filming. According to theory, a shadowy figure, often called the"Badge Man," was standing behind the fence on the knoll. Many believe this is who really shot Kennedy.

Mike, standing in the same place as the alleged Badge Man, looks across the street to the giant X marking the spot of the fatal shot. He can’t deny that it’s “an absolute perfect shot.”

Some believe this shadowy figure was notorious Chicago mobster and hit man Charles "Chucky" Nicoletti, who was known for his involvement in numerous gangland murders and strongly suspected to be a CIA informant, while others argue that Nicoletti was in the Texas Book Depository building (where Oswald supposedly was) and operated as a second shooter in a CIA plot to kill the president. The Warren Commission, however, doesn’t even mention Nicoletti in the reports.

“The Warren Commission, what they put out was so ridiculous,” says Dave. “I don’t think anybody believes the real story.”

Standing on the large X in the middle of the street, Dave peers up at the notorious window where Oswald reportedly fired both shots. “It doesn’t make sense,” he says. “Talk about a nightmare on Elm Street.”

Is a serial killer prowling around Austin, Texas?



Since 2022, 38 bodies have been found in or near Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. The most recent was recovered just earlier this month. On June 3, a teenage male kayaker was found two days after he swam into a deep part of the lake without a life jacket and disappeared under the water.

Many of the deaths in and around Lady Bird Lake have been attributed to accidental drownings. Other deaths have been ruled suicides and drug overdoses; only one death has been declared a homicide.

However, several cases remain unknown. Another disturbing fact is that 30 of the 38 bodies were males, 60% of which were between 30 and 49 years of age, leading many locals to suspect a serial killer, given serial killers usually target victims with specific characteristics — especially age and gender.

The Austin Police Department has insisted that no evidence supports the existence of a serial killer, but locals are not convinced. Several petitions for police to investigate drownings as potential homicides have been filed. Many believe that the proximity of Rainey Street, a nightlife hub with numerous bars and clubs, has led to men being drugged and lured to Lady Bird Lake where they were intentionally drowned.

While the city has implemented safety upgrades, including increased patrols, fencing, lighting, and cameras around the lake, APD has maintained that no serial killer is on the loose.

Dave Landau, BlazeTV host of the comedy series “Normal World,” sides with the locals.

He reads from a recent Buzzfeed article, detailing how in 2022, “A cluster of six bodies were found” — all males with “similar features.” The following year, “Five more bodies were found, again, all men,” who had apparently “gone missing after having a night out on the nearby Rainey Street.”

“So it looks like we have the Lady Bird Killer on our hands, ladies and gentlemen,” he says.

As for APD’s denial that there’s a serial killer on the loose, Dave thinks there’s a chance law enforcement “may not tell the public what they're looking at” to avoid hysteria.

Caitlyn Jenner gets tipsy in Israel during attack



75-year-old Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner flew to Tel Aviv to be the guest of honor at a Pride parade — but all that came to a screeching halt when Iranian missiles began to pierce the sky.

When Jenner was moved to a bomb shelter instead of the parade, Israeli influencer Regev Gur snapped a photo of himself and the famous transgender athlete, posting it to X with the caption, “What did you do during the alerts? Because I'm drinking wine with Caitlyn.”

Jenner is shown in the photo holding a glass of wine up next to the influencer while in the bunker, but BlazeTV host Dave Landau doesn’t see it as a good thing.

“It’s wine o’clock somewhere, apparently in Tel Aviv while you’re getting bombed,” Landau says, dripping with sarcasm.


“The former Olympian, who’s 76 — you wouldn’t have guessed that,” he continues, “captioned via Instagram Friday with a picture of missiles, adding, ‘There is not a place I’d rather be than with the brave people of Israel. God, please continue to shield and protect us.’”

1/4 Black Garrett finds the timing of the missiles to be suspicious, as it was just as the Pride celebration was set to begin.

“Why would Palestine blow them up at that time?” he asks, alluding to Palestine’s strict laws against homosexuality.

“I’d say this is the most woman thing he’s ever done,” he continues, adding, “making a very bad situation about himself.”
