On Background with Susan Crabtree

Emily Kopp of the Daily Caller News Foundation joins Susan Crabtree and Eric Eggers to trace how the intelligence community buried evidence that COVID came from a lab in Wuhan. She walks through the declassified records, the furin cleavage site, the reported CIA money relationship with Fauci's institute, and why the press still refuses to follow the trail. Plus: why medical-establishment Democrats just won big in the midterms.

Meta ran the experiment. Kids asked Instagram to stop sending notifications during the school day, and when it did, they said they felt less stressed. It cost the company 1 percent of their minutes a month, and employees didn't bother pushing the fix because that was the number Mark Zuckerberg cared about. Susan Crabtree and Eric Eggers talk with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, whose story is now the film The Social Reckoning, about how the algorithm decides what you see, why 47 states settled with Meta, what the settlement changes for kids, and the AI friends a lot of parents don't know their kids have. 0:00 Meet Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen 3:02 Why so few people at Facebook understood the algorithm 6:27 Stop the Steal, Ethiopia, and the decision to blow the whistle 9:13 BuzzFeed's warning about what Facebook rewards 13:38 Forty-seven states and the Meta settlement 17:00 Zuckerberg's 60 percent and the fix Meta shelved 21:04 Instagram didn't ask anyone's age until 2019 25:55 Advertisers, transparency, and screens at home 30:55 Meta's offer if YouTube and Snap follow 33:01 AI friends and the next fight for parents 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 👇 On Background is produced by the 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞, a nonpartisan investigative research organization.

A reporter spent two and a half years filing public records requests. She came back with a 78-page document. It laid out a five-year, $20 million federal plan to remake the child welfare system around transgender ideology, and it was already running. Susan Crabtree and Eric Eggers talk with The Daily Wire's Megan Brock about what the plan did, how parents got labeled abusers for affirming their child's sex, and why most Americans never heard about it. 0:00 Introductions and the Dow Awards 1:31 The secret five-year plan to transform child welfare 3:14 How "non-affirming" parents get labeled abusers 6:12 From an Obama-era grant to the SOGI Institute 9:12 Screening three-year-olds and collecting SOGI data 11:10 A foster dad on what these kids actually need 14:36 Oregon tells a mother she caused "mental injury" 18:38 CPS, family courts, and custody cases 24:55 The Biden administration's trans activist "speed dating" 30:23 What's at stake in the midterms 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 👇 On Background is produced by the 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞, a nonpartisan investigative research organization.

Susan Crabtree and Eric Eggers break down the California governor's debate between Steve Hilton and Javier Becerra. Becerra named Donald Trump 40 times and ran against the president instead of the man on stage. Susan explains why the front-runner never answered the one question that matters, what the coffee cup gave away, and where Hilton still has a path. 0:00 A CNN debate and a very low bar 2:49 Running against Trump, not Hilton 3:17 Becerra's scripted video from the car 4:57 Ballots arrive, and why he thinks it ends November 3 7:00 The coffee sip during the child-migrant charge 9:47 Susan Rice calls him a "bitch ass" 11:30 Failing upward since Congress 13:25 Becerra vs. Newsom, and the "white immigrants" line 16:35 Hilton's plan to cut the cost of a home 22:03 More of the same, or worse 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 👇 On Background is produced by the 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞, a nonpartisan investigative research organization.
