Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report.

Leading off tonight, senior Hamas officials confirmed Tuesday that their terror organization has decided to hand over six living and four dead hostages by Saturday, in return for the release of the 47 Palestinian prisoners whose release was agreed on.

The bodies include those of an 8-month-old, a 4-year-old and their mother.

According to Israel National News, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed: “Understandings have been reached in the Cairo negotiations according to which six living first-stage hostages will be released on Saturday.”

It added that on Thursday, the bodies of four deceased hostages will be returned to Israel. 

Hamas claimed in November 2023 that two young children, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, were killed along with their mother in an Israeli airstrike, and released a video of their father Yarden, who was also held hostage, in which he blamed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their deaths.

An Israeli military spokesperson at the time called the video “psychological terror,” but the military has told relatives that they may not be alive, according to a spokesperson for the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. kicked off his tenure as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human services this week with a bang.

He announced that “nothing is off limits” when it comes to investigating the causes of escalating chronic diseases in America.

Kennedy named the industries and products that will face the most heat, including the childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosates, other pesticides, ultra-processed foods, artificial food additives, SSRIs and other psychiatric drugs, PFAs, PFOAs, and microplastics.

Here he is putting the U.S. health establishment on notice.

A Muslim migrant from Syria who laughed as he stabbed a 14-year-old boy to death in Austria has been revealed to have applied for asylum in the country to avoid being drafted into Bashar al-Assad's military.  

The 23-year-old man, identified only as Ahmad G., reportedly shouted Allahu Akbar before launching into a vicious attack just before 4 p.m. on Saturday, the Daily Mail reports.

Chilling images captured the suspect who was seen grinning at police officers while they surrounded him with weapons during his arrest in an Austrian town near the borders with Italy and Slovenia.

The assault, which is believed to have lasted less than 10 minutes, saw five other people wounded and two rushed to hospital with serious injuries.

Austria's Interior Ministry confirmed on Sunday that it was an Islamist attack with ISIS connections, with the region's police chief saying the killer had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State. 

Ahmad reportedly arrived in Austria in 2020, and was granted asylum the following year after successfully arguing that he would be drafted into military service in Syria, which was still being run at the time by the secular dictator Bashar al-Assad. 

Austria's Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum said that asylum revocation proceedings have been initiated, meaning he is likely to lose his protected status. Too little, too late for the family of the 14-year-old Austrian boy.

It was also revealed that this Muslim migrant had served four days in a German prison, after being found with a fake ID on him as he visited relatives in the country. Of course, he was released.

Members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) were arrested in multiple locations across Montana as federal authorities continue to catch dangerous illegal aliens in remote corners of the U.S.

On Friday, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks announced three TdA members were apprehended at an undisclosed location in Montana.

On Wednesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, working in conjunction with other federal agencies, arrested six TdA members during a raid in Bozeman, Montana.

On Feb. 6, the Northern Plains Independent reported on the arrests of a trio of suspected illegal aliens on drug charges in Wolf Point, a small city in Northeast Montana on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation.

The suspects all had ties to Colorado, with at least one coming from Aurora, Colorado – a TdA stronghold.

Donald Trump is ramping up secret CIA drone flights over Mexico as he takes aim at violent foreign drug cartels. 

The existence of the drone program has never been disclosed before, although it began under the Biden administration, U.S. officials told the New York Times. 

One official disclosed that the expansion of drone flights under Trump is seeing them going “well into sovereign Mexico.”

Boosting the usage of drones to surveil Mexican drug cartels’ operations is a quick way for Trump to make good on his campaign promise to wage war on the cartels for smuggling deadly fentanyl into the U.S. 

In the first days of his second term Trump signed an executive order to crack down on the cartels by labeling them foreign terrorist threats, a move that will make it easier for his administration to target the criminal gangs. 

The administration reportedly sent an additional list of transnational gangs it is planning on designating as terrorist groups to Congress last week. MS-13, Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels in addition to the Zetas are on the list, according to sources familiar with the matter.  

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has already said he and Trump are open to using military force within Mexico.

Hegseth stated that “all options will be on the table if we’re dealing with what are designated to be foreign terrorist organizations who are specifically targeting Americans on our border.”

Biopharma researcher Karen Kingston reports that unbeknownst to human beings, and other mammals around the globe, we are all now in the World Health Organization’s H5N1 Flu Inter-Pandemic Virus Vaccine Planning Phase. 

She writes:

“And yes…all mammals are a key part of the ‘inter-pandemic’ phase of the H5N1 virus vaccine plan. Why? Because our furry, feathered and even finned friends are going to be the scapegoats for the ‘viral pandemic source’ that can ‘wipe out half of humanity.’”

Kingston reports that chickens will be the first to be injected with the globalists’ toxic mRNA gene-therapy for bird flu.

She says that the CDC will “use the H5N1 chicken-to-human story to not only annihilate the U.S. commercial poultry supply, but the government may go after small farms and families that own a few backyard chickens.”

Tech Crunch reports that Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has released its latest flagship AI model, Grok 3, and unveiled new capabilities for the Grok iOS and web apps.

Grok, xAI’s answer to models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini, can analyze images and respond to questions, and powers a number of features on Musk’s social network, X. 

Grok 3, which has been in development for several months, was optimistically slated for release in 2024, but missed that deadline.

Monday’s launch was an ambitious one.

xAI has been using an enormous data center in Memphis containing around 200,000 GPUs to train Grok 3. In a post on X, Musk claimed Grok 3 was developed with “10x” (or so) more computing power than its predecessor, Grok 2, using an expanded training set that includes filings from court cases, and more.

Musk said during a livestreamed presentation on Monday:

“Grok 3 is an order of magnitude more capable than Grok 2. It’s a maximally truth-seeking AI, even if that truth is sometimes at odds with what is politically correct.”

The top criminal prosecutor in the Washington, DC, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Denise Cheung, resigned Tuesday after refusing an order from her Trump-appointed superiors to open a grand jury investigation into the Biden administration’s spending on climate-related pet projects.

The direction originated from Emil Bove, the department’s acting deputy attorney general to Ed Martin, whom President Trump has nominated to be the permanent DC U.S. Attorney.

Cheung, a long-time DOJ bureaucrat, had been asked to lead an investigation into an Environmental Protection Agency funding decision during the Biden administration.

She chose to resign rather than follow the order, giving the excuse that she believed there wasn’t sufficient evidence to take such a step at the time, according to a source that spoke anonymously to CNN.

The Trump administration has consistently criticized Biden’s spending on environmental programs. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said he has discovered $20 billion worth of funding from Joe Biden’s 2022 climate law in a Citibank account, and wanted to return the money to the U.S. Treasury.

In a statement to CNN, a Justice Department spokesperson said: “Refusing a basic request to pause an investigation so officials can examine the potential waste of government funds is not an act of heroism, just a failure to follow chain of command.”

Zeldin has suggested the $20 billion in taxpayer dollars were rushed to eight nonprofits to distribute at the end of Biden’s term through the Inflation Reduction Act.

In a similar move, Acting Social Security Administration Commissioner Michelle King, who was appointed last month, has been forced out after attempting to stonewall an investigation into massive fraud within the agency. 

King’s abrupt departure comes after Elon Musk’s team at DOGE requested access to critical data that could expose widespread abuse and fraudulent claims draining the Social Security fund.

World Net Daily reports that despite the purported end of vaccine mandates, the COVID-19 shot requirement is still enforced at the Veterans Health Administration.

On May 9, 2023, former president Joe Biden issued Executive Order 14099 titled  “Moving Beyond COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements for Federal Workers.” His order revoked a previous executive order dated September 9, 2021, which once required COVID-19 injections for federal employees.

However, months before Biden's 2021 federal worker mandate, the Department of Veterans Affairs had already instituted its own COVID-19 vaccine requirement for frontline healthcare workers. 

On July 26, 2021, VA Secretary Denis McDonough announced that all Veterans Health Administration employees providing direct patient care would be required to receive the COVID-19 jab. This was formalized in VHA Directive 1193 on August 13, 2021, and made the VA the first federal agency to mandate COVID-19 vaccination. This mandate for healthcare workers operated independently from Biden's later federal employee order.

Following the federal mandate, on October 4, 2021, the Department of Veterans Affairs issued VA Notice 22-01 “to inform employees of the recent requirement to certify COVID-19 vaccination status and provide proof of vaccination or request an exception within the established timeframes or face disciplinary action, up to and including removal from the Department.”

Despite Biden's 2023 rescission of the requirement, VA Notice 24-11 reveals the COVID-19 shot requirement remains in effect for the Veterans Health Administration, or VHA.

This directive is not a holdover from Biden's federal worker mandate, but rather a continuation of the VA's independent healthcare worker requirement that began in July 2021.

The VA's lack of initiative to rescind the requirement appears to fly in the face of the current presidential agenda, in which President Donald Trump has repeatedly signaled opposition to vaccine mandates. Most recently, Trump signed an executive order to block federal money for schools with COVID-19 shot mandates. Newly confirmed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is in agreement.

Southwest Airlines said Monday that it is cutting about 15% of corporate jobs, or about 1,750 people, a move its CEO called “unprecedented” as the company scrambles to cut costs.

The company said it expects savings from the cuts of $210 million this year and about $300 million in 2026. The layoffs will be mostly done by the end of the second quarter and include some senior leadership roles, CEO Bob Jordan said in a staff note, which was seen by CNBC.

Jordan said in a news release:

“This decision is unprecedented in our 53-year history, and change requires that we make difficult decisions. We are at a pivotal moment as we transform Southwest Airlines into a leaner, faster, and more agile organization.”

Southwest’s decision to slash jobs comes several months after a settlement with activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which won five Southwest board seats, short of control. The firm had also pushed unsuccessfully for Jordan to be replaced as CEO.

Other recent cost-cutting measures at Southwest included a hiring freeze, a pause to the internship program and an end to team-building rallies, a company tradition that dated back to 1985, CNBC previously reported. It has also aggressively cut unprofitable routes.

Time now for our nightly Worldview Report commentary.

Zero Hedge reports that the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Monday revealed its finding that $4.7 trillion in disbursements by the U.S. Treasury are almost impossible to trace, thanks to a rampant disregard for the basic accounting practice of using tracking codes when dishing out money. 

It's not as if such a federal tracking system wasn't already in place. It simply went unused for all sorts of payouts adding up to an astonishing $4.7 trillion. Without Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) identification codes associated with those payouts, Zero Hedge notes that there's little hope in figuring out where all that money went. 

That’s our tax dollars that went into a black hole. Totally unaccounted for. 

You can’t have government for the people, by the people, of the people, if the people’s money is being stolen and laundered out for the benefit of the rich and powerful.

While we may never find out where $4.7 trillion went, we should hold accountable those who refused to use readily available tools to make sure this type of massive abuse never happened.

Because it was purposely not tracked, we can only assume this money went into a secret slush fund used for nefarious purposes.

And those who made sure to hide the money being laundered out for such purposes need to be prosecuted, from the highest official involved down to the lowest.

Otherwise, this bureaucratic abuse of the American taxpayer will continue. That much is guaranteed. 

That does it for this edition of the Worldview Report. Thanks for tuning in and supporting this broadcast.

Until next time…
