Mike Adams

Wisdom, commentary and improv entertainment from the Health Ranger!!!!

True65% confidence8 sourcesOct 22, 2026Owen Shroyer worked at Infowars for ten years, from 2016 to 2025.Said by 3BSources consistently place Shroyer at Infowars from 2016 and show his departure in September 2025, and they describe the tenure as nearly a decade. The claim's "ten years" is loose arithmetic for 2016 to 2025 (about nine years), but that imprecision does not defeat the core assertion, and the claim faithfully reflects the passage.True75% confidence7 sourcesOct 22, 2026A party for people blocked by Dan Bongino is being planned in Austin.Multiple sources show that as of 2026-10-22 an Austin block party for people blocked by Dan Bongino was being planned, with Owen Shroyer proposing to host it and a December 12 date later listed on a dedicated event site. The sources are mostly low-credibility or podcast/social coverage, and the event site says it is an unaffiliated satirical event with the venue still to be announced.True85% confidence5 sourcesOct 22, 2026Suppressors and short-barreled rifles can currently be bought over the counter in Texas without going through the ATF.Said by AAs of 2026-10-22, ATF guidance issued October 9, 2026 stopped enforcing the NFA approval and registration requirements for suppressors and short-barreled rifles, and Texas is not among the roughly 15 states that still require federal registration, so these items can be bought over the counter on a Form 4473 without ATF approval. Background checks still apply, and ATF will still process Form 4s if submitted, which does not contradict the claim.True90% confidence7 sourcesOct 22, 2026Randy Fine was recorded going through someone's mail during a campaign.Said by 3BMultiple independent outlets (Lead Stories, The Independent, Yahoo, Mediaite, Audacy, IBTimes) report Ring camera footage from August 16, 2026 showing Rep. Randy Fine going through a homeowner's mail during door-to-door campaigning, and his office confirmed he is the man shown. The claim's wording matches the passage's claim that he was going through someone's mail on video during a campaign; the sources do not address whether the claimant's broader comparison about posting is accurate, which is not part of the extracted claim.True65% confidence9 sourcesOct 22, 2026Donald Trump and the Department of Justice are censoring individuals who are critical of Israel's current policies.Said by AA federal judge's August 2026 ruling found that Trump administration laws used to cancel visas and start deportations of noncitizen students for pro-Palestinian advocacy and criticism of Israel were unconstitutional, supporting the claim's core that the government suppressed Israel criticism. The DOJ role rests mainly on advocacy-group reporting, and the ruling targeted State and DHS, so confidence is capped at 0.65. The claim describes an ongoing state as of 2026-10-22, and the sources cover that period.True65% confidence3 sourcesOct 22, 2026Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones called JD Vance anti-Semitic or anti-Israel on a Fox morning show.Said by 3BSources from October 20, 2026 report that Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones called Vance 'anti-Israel' on Fox & Friends, which satisfies the claim's 'anti-Semitic or anti-Israel' disjunction. No source shows them calling him anti-Semitic, and the post itself said it did not know if they had.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True85% confidence5 sourcesOct 22, 2026The USDA is providing $8 billion to farmers to cover diesel costs because diesel prices are high due to the war with Iran started by Donald Trump.Said by AMultiple tier1 sources (Reuters, AP, The Hill) confirm the USDA/Trump administration's $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief program for farmers to offset diesel costs, and the sources attribute high diesel prices to the Iran war that Trump launched in late February. The claim's 'started by Donald Trump' framing is supported by UPI and Herald Sun reporting that Trump launched strikes on Iran; the program's payment timing (post-election, likely year-end) is a peripheral detail that does not defeat the core assertion. The sources were published after the 2026-10-22 claim date but describe the program as already announced on October 19-20, so it was true as of the claim date.True70% confidence7 sourcesOct 22, 2026Tucker Carlson is a co-founder of Battalion Metals.Said by AMultiple sources describe Battalion Metals as co-founded by Tucker Carlson and dealer Christopher Olson, including the company's own site, and the claim matches the passage's wording. Most sources are unrated or come from the company or Carlson himself, so confidence is capped, and none of the tier1 fact-checkers directly address the claim.True60% confidence12 sourcesOct 22, 2026The Owen Report is broadcast live on weekdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.Said by 3BMultiple podcast directory listings describe The Owen Report as a show airing 3-6pm CT, and one episode listing shows weekday episodes, which supports the claim's weekday 3-6 p.m. schedule. The listings are unrated aggregators with no authoritative source, and the claim omits the time zone, which the listings give as Central Time, a peripheral detail that does not contradict it.True60% confidence9 sourcesOct 22, 2026Fuel emergencies have been declared in 7 states.Primary government records confirm fuel or diesel emergencies in West Virginia (declared Oct 20, 2026), Kentucky (Oct 7 order, effective Oct 8) and Texas (Sept 28, renewed Oct 28), all before the Oct 22 posting. Secondary sources add Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Indiana and others, so the claim is directionally supported, but the exact count of seven rests mainly on NaturalNews and social-media posts whose state lists differ, and no independent record tallies exactly seven.True95% confidence6 sourcesAug 14, 2026Pete Hegseth is currently serving as the head of the Department of Defense.Said by AMultiple tier1 and primary sources dated August through October 2026 show Pete Hegseth serving as Defense Secretary and leading the Pentagon, so the claim holds as of 2026-08-14 and still holds at the check date. The department was renamed the Department of War on Sept. 5, 2025 (per war.gov), which is a label difference rather than a contradiction. The extraction is faithful: the post refers to him as currently running the Pentagon.True60% confidence3 sourcesAug 14, 2026Mike Adams is interviewing Google whistleblower Zack Vorhees for the Decentralized TV channel.Said by ASources show Mike Adams hosting Zach Vorhies on Decentralized TV in several episodes, including an Aug 10, 2026 episode, which supports the claim's core assertion. No source directly confirms the specific Aug 14 interview or the 'Google whistleblower' description, and the sources come from the claimant's own outlets, so confidence is capped.
