Ask Dr. Drew - Inside China’s Race To “Biohack” Life Itself & How To Stop It: Brandon Weichert & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Episode 257
Episode Date: September 2, 2023Naomi Wolf continues to raise alarms about the Chinese Communist Party’s agenda for world supremacy and its coverup of the COVID-19 pandemic’s origin. Brandon Weichert – author of “Biohacked: ...China’s Race To Control Life” – joins Wolf to reveal China’s plan for domination by 2049, including decades-long research into biotechnology, human cloning, and genetically targeted attacks. “Unless an all-of-government (and society) approach is taken to curbing irresponsible biotech development in China, then another—deadlier—COVID-19-like pandemic could be at hand,” warns Weichert.

                                         I'm a doctor for f***'s sake.
                                         
                                         Where the hell do you think I learned that?
                                         
                                         I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people.
                                         
                                         I am a clinician.
                                         
    
                                         I observe things about these chemicals.
                                         
                                         Let's just deal with what's real.
                                         
                                         We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time.

                                         If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help.
                                         
                                         I got a lot to say.
                                         
                                         I got a lot more to say.
                                         
                                         I suspect you've seen Susan and I gushing over Paleo Valley products. We love the taste and how well they fit into a paleo-based nutrition regimen.
                                         
    
                                         They're delicious, and we use them for travel all the time.
                                         
                                         But there's more.
                                         
                                         We are huge fans as well of Paleo Valley's grass-fed bone broth protein.
                                         
                                         It comes in three flavors, unflavored, vanilla and chocolate.
                                         
                                         It's a powder you can add to really anything.
                                         
                                         We add it to coffee literally every day.
                                         
                                         Smoothies, baked dishes, just hot water dissolves really easily.
                                         
                                         The bone broth protein is made with 100% grass-fed and finished bones that are free from pesticides or antibiotics and are slow simmered

                                         and B R A N D O N for those of you wondering.
                                         
                                         So China's race to biohack life itself.
                                         
                                         Just tell me what the premise of your theory is.
                                         
                                         Yeah, so basically biotechnology is the new industry that's getting ready to pop.
                                         
                                         It's going to do for this decade likely what computer technology did in the late 20th century,
                                         
                                         as you know with your medical background.
                                         
                                         And with COVID, we now know
                                         
    
                                         that this is the big industry everybody's wanting to get into. China has had its fingers in the
                                         
                                         biotech industry for many years, a decade at least, and they are actually starting to dominate the
                                         
                                         development of the medical technologies that we think we're going to need for the future. It's all happening
                                         
                                         in China and they have no ethical or moral standard. And as it turns out, as I was working
                                         
                                         on the book, obviously COVID came out and I was sort of writing about what was going on with COVID.
                                         
                                         It looks as though through research that the Chinese actually developed coronavirus in a lab through a gain
                                         
                                         of function experiment at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. And then when you peel back the layers
                                         
                                         more, you find out that American firms and research organizations have been partnering
                                         
    
                                         with Chinese biotech firms, not just on coronavirus gain of function experiments, but for a retinue
                                         
                                         of experiments. And as one leading Stanford bioethicist told me, the trump card to the
                                         
                                         Hippocratic oath, which is to first do no harm, is cures. And so can we get cures faster out of
                                         
                                         China because they are willing to basically cut moral and ethical corners in ways that most
                                         
                                         Western nations are not willing to support. And so this book is really about the evolution of
                                         
                                         that industry in China. Well, I mean, I think the simple answer to your rhetorical question there is
                                         
                                         yes, they can get around a lot of things, particularly if it serves the party or if it
                                         
                                         serves the collective they have a different moral compass right if it's good for the whole it
                                         
    
                                         doesn't matter how many get sacrificed but you know we have a case study of precisely the excesses
                                         
                                         with the only act well the only human that i'm aware of application of crispr technology
                                         
                                         came from a scientific scientist who was bewildered when he was uh dressed down a bit
                                         
                                         by the international community for just going ahead on his own and inserting genes into a twins now the chinese government correct me if i'm wrong did get take
                                         
                                         him down a bit but it i always wondered if that's just for uh appearance sake while the while you
                                         
                                         know under the under the hood doing their own thing with crisper right right so the doctor
                                         
                                         you're referring to is hood junk we and he he basically used CRISPR-Cas9, which is the gene editing tool that we in America created to map the human genome.
                                         
                                         It's what we use to basically go in and gene edit for, you know, getting rid of unwanted diseases or whatnot.
                                         
    
                                         It's what mRNA vaccines are based off of using that technology. And this Dr.
                                         
                                         He in China decided to go in utero while these twins were still in their mother's wombs and
                                         
                                         gene edit HIV out of them. The twins were born healthy and without any incidence of HIV.
                                         
                                         The issue was MIT Technology Review did a case study on them a year later and found that
                                         
                                         the twins' brains had actually, they're larger than the average brain. And we don't really know
                                         
                                         what that means because obviously they're still so young, these children. But the doctor in question
                                         
                                         was absolutely reprimanded by his government. But the real reason is, I think you're right,
                                         
                                         because what that did was it revealed what China's really doing with CRISPR-Cas9.
                                         
    
                                         And in the book, I talk about this concept that the Chinese program gave a speech in Beijing in which he started
                                         
                                         talking about using CRISPR-Cas9 to conduct, with the Chinese military terms, specific ethnic
                                         
                                         genetic attacks. So they're now talking about, overtly, the weaponization of CRISPR-Cas9,
                                         
                                         the technology we gave them, and they're going to use it on us and they may have already
                                         
                                         done that with covid as a proof of concept so i think you're going to have to uh tease that all
                                         
                                         out a bit and unpack what you just said to make people sure people caught it i i caught it i caught
                                         
                                         what you said but i think you're going to have to make it explicit because there's all because it's
                                         
                                         a profoundly controversial thing to say so i'm going to ask you to say it in detail okay right now um here we go basically
                                         
    
                                         in 2015 the national institute of health as well as the national institute of allergies and
                                         
                                         infectious diseases led by dr anthony fauci were partnered with university of north carolina
                                         
                                         they were doing uh what's known as gain of function
                                         
                                         research on coronaviruses. And basically that's where you take your average coronavirus and you
                                         
                                         basically weaponize it for vaccine research purposes. The Obama administration ordered the
                                         
                                         NIH and Dr. Fauci to put the kibosh on it because they feared if it ever got out of the lab that it would be a
                                         
                                         pandemic and they would be blamed politically for it. So what happened was Dr. Fauci saluted and
                                         
                                         said, yes, sir, I'll terminate these experiments. But he didn't tell anybody that he was going to
                                         
    
                                         hand off all of the research and funding for that program over to the Wuhan Institute of Virology through a third party, a nonprofit known
                                         
                                         as the EcoHealth Alliance, led by a guy named Peter Dazak and Ralph Baric. And they handed it
                                         
                                         off to Dr. Shi Zhengli, who's better known as the Bat Woman of Wuhan. And she was the foremost
                                         
                                         expert in China on taking horseshoe bat coronaviruses and doing gain
                                         
                                         of function tests on them. So she basically led the way over all those years to weaponize
                                         
                                         coronaviruses ostensibly for quicker vaccine research. The fear among the scientific community
                                         
                                         was, hey, look, we already had SARS.
                                         
                                         We already had the bird flu. There was MERS, which is a similar illness affecting the Middle East.
                                         
    
                                         Eventually, we're going to have a pandemic and it's probably going to emanate from a coronavirus.
                                         
                                         Unbeknownst to the Americans who were funding and supporting this project for vaccine research, was the fact that Xi Jinping was cooperating with,
                                         
                                         because she's part of the People's Liberation Army,
                                         
                                         and the People's Liberation Army in 2015,
                                         
                                         their senior PLA Air Force medical personnel got together
                                         
                                         and wrote a proposal for President Xi Jinping
                                         
                                         in which they explicitly
                                         
                                         outlined how they could weaponize coronaviruses, deploy them against a targeted country like the
                                         
    
                                         United States to collapse that country's medical and economic system for strategic political effects
                                         
                                         that would redound to the benefit of China. And if you look at what happened with COVID-19,
                                         
                                         that is precisely what ended up happening here in the United States. We basically
                                         
                                         shut down our system. We terrorized each other and our own people in the name of

                                         disrupting the status quo here in terms of societal peace
                                         
                                         meanwhile china was able to use that time and of course they were damaged as well but not

                                         We've heard this story before from Li Mengwan,
                                         
                                         who's a virologist who has run away from Hong Kong
                                         
                                         after being told she would be disappeared for digging into some of the same materials.
                                         
                                         But you said something you evidently have glossed over
                                         
                                         that that that they were weaponizing these viruses and by the way we also talked to uh doctor to
                                         
                                         ralph martin um i'm sorry is that david martin uh about unc and and ralph bear and ralph barrack and
                                         
                                         and this goes this goes back a long way.
                                         
    
                                         You told us the more recent chapter of this story,
                                         
                                         but the reality is it goes back into the 90s perhaps.
                                         
                                         And so there's a lot of history for us to learn from here.
                                         
                                         Is that chronicled in your book?
                                         
                                         I'm sorry, I've not read the book yet.
                                         
                                         That's okay.
                                         
                                         Go ahead, finish your thought.
                                         
                                         I was just going to say, the 90s, that aspect I only mentioned a little bit.
                                         
    
                                         The real focus was on what China's doing with weaponizing pretty much all of biotech against us.
                                         
                                         So the COVID is a part of the story.
                                         
                                         But the really scary stuff, Dr. Drew, is coming down the line.
                                         
                                         It's not even, hasn't hit us yet.
                                         
                                         They haven't deployed it yet, but they're working on it.
                                         
                                         And I talk about that in the book. agents to be ethnically specific to be able to may perhaps not strike uh chinese uh biologically
                                         
                                         chinese individuals but hit people of a different ethnic origin tell me more about that and by the
                                         
                                         way i expect you this i expect this to have a huge reaction so either way people are going to agree
                                         
    
                                         or disagree with you i just want to hear what you have to say.
                                         
                                         Right, absolutely. So the Beijing Genomics Institute is China's largest state-'re almost like a computer program when you're playing with the data in the lab.
                                         
                                         Instead of ones and zeros, it's our DNA that you're computing.
                                         
                                         And so you put all that information of an individual or a group of people into a data
                                         
                                         bank, and then you can sometimes use artificial intelligence to help you.
                                         
                                         But you can start identifying patterns in groups of people, patterns of disease and trajectories, and what is one group's
                                         
                                         likely to be more affected by than others. And you can even now, with the way they're
                                         
                                         developing CRISPR-Cas9 capabilities, this is where specific ethnic genetic attacks come into play,
                                         
    
                                         you can even now start to develop pathogens that would
                                         
                                         only affect one or two people specifically. And the Chinese very much want to create sort of,
                                         
                                         for lack of a better term, surgical bioweapons. And they're using this gene bank. The first group
                                         
                                         they're testing it on is the Muslim Turkic Uyghurs in western Xinjiang, which is part of China near Afghanistan's border.
                                         
                                         There's a few million Uyghurs who have been put into concentration camps run by the Chinese government.
                                         
                                         And the first thing those poor people are made to do is forcibly hand over their genetic samples, which is then collated in that BGI-led gene bank. And what the Chinese
                                         
                                         military is doing is they're trying to figure out, is there any way they can tailor a plague
                                         
                                         that would wipe out the undesirable masses in China who are not ethnic Han Chinese,
                                         
    
                                         which is the dominant group in China? And then they're going to take that capability,
                                         
                                         they're going to, after they use it on their own people, they're going to take that capability, after they use it on their own
                                         
                                         people, they're going to scale that out and they're going to start refining the methodology
                                         
                                         and using it on their enemies overseas, notably the Americans. And I fear that they've already
                                         
                                         gained critical access to our proprietary genetic information. BGI has a share, if I'm not mistaken, in 23andMe, which is what we use to
                                         
                                         find out our ancestry. You spit into a vial, it's sent it away, and then the geneticist there figures
                                         
                                         out where your family's from. Well, that data is not destroyed. It's stored in the BGI gene bank
                                         
                                         for them to manipulate for further scientific and military purposes. Another thing also, BGI in 2013 bought a genomics company in Mountain View, California that
                                         
    
                                         had exclusive access to the US National Institute of Health as well as the Centers for Disease
                                         
                                         Control genetic databases.
                                         
                                         The Committee for Investment in the United States, CFIUS, was unable to prevent that
                                         
                                         purchase in time. And BGI in that year,
                                         
                                         they got a hold of all of that proprietary taxpayer-funded American genetic information,
                                         
                                         and they sent that over into their gene bank. So they now have the genetic information
                                         
                                         of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans,
                                         
                                         and they've been playing with it for at least seven years doing God knows what.
                                         
    
                                         Now, I will preface what I'm about to say by acknowledging that because I'm involved with some medical research, I have been aware that the center of gravity of medical research generally has moved towards China and towards England, too, believe it or not,
                                         
                                         but certainly so it's China. And the one thing that I've sort of taken away from, or I'm sort of ruminating
                                         
                                         about maybe is a better way of saying it as it pertains to the history we're
                                         
                                         talking about here of the layers of involvement and intrigue and you know,
                                         
                                         how research has been sort of continued by getting around the spirit of the law
                                         
                                         and all these, all these,
                                         
                                         the point I'm making is,
                                         
                                         it seems like we have participated
                                         
    
                                         in all of these things as much as China has,
                                         
                                         number one.
                                         
                                         And number two,
                                         
                                         I'm beginning to think there's espionage
                                         
                                         and counter espionage
                                         
                                         and layer upon layer of everybody watching
                                         
                                         what everybody's doing.
                                         
                                         So the question would then be, are we doing the same thing?
                                         
    
                                         And if not, why not?
                                         
                                         We probably are to some degree, but unfortunately,
                                         
                                         we tend nowadays to not really get creative with counterintelligence.
                                         
                                         We're busy searching for Russian ghosts under Mar-a-Lago beds more than we are interested in actually stopping China from dominating the next frontier of the high tech sector. have been in helping China not only gain access to CRISPR-Cas9, but then also to fund them to do
                                         
                                         these medical research experiments, thinking that, oh, they're just going to get to vaccines faster
                                         
                                         and we'll get the benefits of that sooner, not realizing there is an undercurrent. In China,
                                         
                                         it's called military-civil fusion, MCF. And basically, it is where there is no difference in between the military industrial
                                         
                                         centers and the civilian industrial centers. So what the civilians are working on for peacetime
                                         
    
                                         research is it's called dual use. It's easily shifted over to military purposes. We see this
                                         
                                         in every high tech domain, whether it be space or biotech, this is what they're doing.
                                         
                                         And the Americans, our FBI under Trump started to catch on and started to issue warnings and
                                         
                                         started to try to do some counteracting measures to stop it. But under Biden, the first thing that
                                         
                                         President Biden did was shut down the China shop at the FBI that President Trump had established
                                         
                                         to go after Chinese high
                                         
                                         tech espionage directed against the United States. So the government is completely blinded to what's
                                         
                                         going on. And what's more, what I found is that many of our senior scientists in government
                                         
    
                                         are actually actively working with the Chinese. There was a gentleman named Dr. Charles Lieber, who was the leading
                                         
                                         nanoscientist for the Department of Defense. He really pioneered so much with nanoscience.
                                         
                                         Turns out from 2012 to 2019, he was secretly running a covert lab in Wuhan, part of China's
                                         
                                         Thousand Talents Program, which is their official program for attracting American and Western talent in science fields into China
                                         
                                         to basically do the research there. In fact, when my wife was at Yale doing her PhD in genetics,
                                         
                                         nursing and genetics, they attempted to get her to come to Wuhan in 2014 and do her genetics
                                         
                                         research there rather than at an American company. And one of the offerings they
                                         
                                         made to her was, hey, we'll pay off your student debt as a bonus, as a signing bonus. And as she
                                         
    
                                         said, had she not been with me, she probably would have gone over because she didn't know
                                         
                                         anything about national security. But this is the perniciousness of the way that the Chinese
                                         
                                         are operating. If they can't create it indigenously they attract western
                                         
                                         talent and funds and they do it through very you know nefarious ways and our government
                                         
                                         isn't stopping it they don't they're not even really aware of it until it's too late
                                         
                                         right and i am acutely aware that the scientific community the medical community was in massive denial about that um you know that
                                         
                                         cohesion of the military and civil uh research and the the coziness uh amongst medical researchers
                                         
                                         in the west and china is still difficult to unravel i think people are having difficulty
                                         
    
                                         believing that their peers are somehow adulterated
                                         
                                         because they're so used to trusting them and developing good research with them, but no sense
                                         
                                         of where that could go awry. So A, respond to that, and B, where did you get all this information?
                                         
                                         Well, so the first thing I'll say is, you know, when people are surprised, just think of Wall
                                         
                                         Street going back to the 70s, de-industrializing the United States and handing it over to
                                         
                                         communist China, and then convincing themselves and everyone else that by doing so, they're
                                         
                                         turning China into our friend and open free trade, a rising tide will lift all boats. Of course,
                                         
                                         we learned the hard way. That's not what happens at all. So the medical community in America is sort of dominated by similar utopian notions of open science will make greater amity between the two possibly warSEC policy, and then I transitioned into a
                                         
    
                                         consulting role where I focus on what's known as geotechnology, so the confluence of high tech and
                                         
                                         national security. And I've gotten to know many people in the Intel community. Most of my sources
                                         
                                         were on background because these are active senior members of the U.S. and British intelligence services.
                                         
                                         And then I just did, I kind of rolled up my sleeves and did old-fashioned, you know, LexisNexis medical database papers research. really, really frightening stuff about openly what Western scientists are doing with Chinese firms,
                                         
                                         biotech firms to develop in China, these different biotech capabilities that are really ghoulish.
                                         
                                         And if they're not stopped and better regulated,
                                         
                                         COVID is going to look like a picnic compared to what's going to happen next.
                                         
                                         Well, that's what I want to talk about next.
                                         
    
                                         Speaking of next is what these sort of uh what
                                         
                                         the oncoming train is but before we get to that i want to bring naomi wolf in here because as you
                                         
                                         know her husband is very involved and he is uh yep um he has radicalized my wife as naomi has
                                         
                                         susan you want to comment about that? About your radical nature there
                                         
                                         as it pertains to the Chinese communist government?
                                         
                                         I know, I think we're bringing over the dark side now.
                                         
                                         Me? Yeah.
                                         
                                         No, I'm just, I'm looking at the history here.
                                         
    
                                         I'm just looking at what we know,
                                         
                                         and I'm listening, and I'm learning.
                                         
                                         I don't know a lot.
                                         
                                         I just have interest in it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and it's people we've spoken to have,
                                         
                                         this isn't the first time we're hearing these
                                         
                                         stories and so there's something here all right let's uh maybe what we'll do is um we will bring
                                         
                                         naomi wolf in after the break and we'll have her talk about her sense of what that something is
                                         
    
                                         and then brand you're going to tell me what the oncoming train is. Okay? Okay. All right. We'll be right back after this.

                                         been talking about here today it's sort of more of the stateside uh domestic issues and what we
                                         
                                         are doing with ourselves with these new biological
                                         
                                         realities. I'll give you a chance to react, as I said, to start this conversation out.
                                         
                                         What is that something that's going on here from your perspective?
                                         
    
                                         Well, what Brandon kind of brilliantly put out really maps so perfectly, and I know you know this, with what I've been seeing and reporting,
                                         
                                         you know, without the depth of knowledge at all that he has about China, I, I've been reporting
                                         
                                         little bits of it as they affect the United States, not so little. I mean, the biggest thing
                                         
                                         I want to remind your audiences that that I contributed, is finding that the Pfizer injection
                                         
                                         is manufactured in an MOU with the
                                         
                                         Chinese Communist Party, with Fosun Pharmaceuticals, that is basically run by the Chinese Communist
                                         
                                         Party, a senior level CCP official. And Brandon couldn't be more right. And I know this from the
                                         
                                         legendary Brian O'Shea as well, my husband, who's as, you know, equally obsessed with China, for good reason,
                                         
    
                                         from a national security perspective, that China is waging, you know, warfare on us,
                                         
                                         unrestricted warfare, as I think Brandon mentioned, and that this injection made with
                                         
                                         the Chinese Communist Party, you know, as Brandon pointed out, there is no such thing as civilian
                                         
                                         military separation. So what a pharmaceutical company does with this injection serves the
                                         
                                         People's Liberation Army of China. They're the same thing. They've created a billion extra doses.
                                         
                                         They're not going to China. They're going to Western Europe and North America.
                                         
                                         And China in a link that is now dead,
                                         
                                         I reported on it some months ago,
                                         
    
                                         opened 14 manufacturing plants in Western Europe
                                         
                                         and two in the United States,
                                         
                                         one in Andover, Mass and one in Princeton, New Jersey.
                                         
                                         And in 2021, the SEC filing for Pfizer BioNTech, which manufactures
                                         
                                         this injection, is transferred the IP, the intellectual property, to China. And it says
                                         
                                         it right there in the SEC filing. It doesn't say a Chinese individual. It doesn't say a Chinese
                                         
                                         company. It says to China, to the nation of
                                         
                                         China.
                                         
    
                                         So what that means, and the other piece of evidence I'd like to remind you all about,
                                         
                                         and you can see this on my essay, Facing the Beast on my substack, is that Hong Kong, and
                                         
                                         again Hong Kong is under the dominion of the Chinese Communist Party now, scientists in 2021
                                         
                                         did an experiment in which they showed
                                         
                                         that the first mRNA injection into mice
                                         
                                         caused some serious damage,
                                         
                                         but the second injection caused catastrophic damage
                                         
                                         and caused the kinds of things that people
                                         
    
                                         of whom I have direct knowledge,
                                         
                                         young adults who are getting heart transplants now, their hearts are enlarged, and they have these
                                         
                                         calcifications or these kind of, I guess calcifications is the best word, these white patches on their
                                         
                                         hearts. And that's what happened to these, these rodents as well. And then there was catastrophic organ failure.
                                         
                                         So what I'm saying is why the first boost, the second boost, the first injection, second
                                         
                                         injection, first boost, second boost.
                                         
                                         And they're coming again in this wave of propaganda about this new variant. The FDA advisory panel approved in advance in June,
                                         
                                         you know, future boosters without even having safety data
                                         
    
                                         or knowing what was in them, right?
                                         
                                         Then we had the wave of AI generated journalism,
                                         
                                         which we're in the middle of right now saying,
                                         
                                         oh my God, an uptick here, this new variant,
                                         
                                         it's called Eris, which interesting interesting is the goddess of discord and disruption. You know, it's now Rutgers is mandating it. Now
                                         
                                         schools are closing in Georgia and you get this kind of drip, drip, drip, which again,
                                         
                                         people really need to understand that AI now runs journalism. So that's not that kind of mounting incremental horror is not something that
                                         
                                         organically happens with like human publishers making human decisions. This is AI ramping up
                                         
    
                                         the fear, ramping up the anxiety. Maybe you should bring back masks. Maybe you should wear two masks.
                                         
                                         Maybe children should not be going back to school. And then in mid-September predictably,
                                         
                                         and if you go back to my appearances recently,
                                         
                                         I said, next is the rollout, right? Predictably, the new formulation is available. Again,
                                         
                                         no double-blind studies showing that it's safe, and then will come mandates. So all of that is ready. And what people have to understand is,
                                         
                                         by the third or fourth or fifth dose, I mean, like this material, whatever is in the new formulation,
                                         
                                         we know that it's going to have some of the lethal ingredients of all the other formulations,
                                         
                                         which are lipid nanoparticles,
                                         
    
                                         the adjuvant, right? Polyethylene glycol, which coats lipid nanoparticles, mRNA and spike protein.
                                         
                                         And we, so we know that it's cumulatively, these lipid nanoparticles don't leave the body.
                                         
                                         We've talked about this. So every time you get a new injection, you're loading more of these industrial fats covered in a polyethylene glycol, which is an antifreeze,
                                         
                                         you know, this petroleum product into your ovaries, into your liver, into your spleen,
                                         
                                         into your adrenals. And this is where they accumulate into your brain. And so what the CDC
                                         
                                         found, or what my husband found in lawfully obtaining this document from the CDC's internal database lawfully is that there have always been plans for six injections. medical and scientific experts have read through the Pfizer documents and now produced almost 80 reports about how fatal and damaging and destructive to reproduction and just catastrophically
                                         
                                         bad for your nervous system, your liver, your kidneys, your heart, your circulation.
                                         
                                         Just to end this riff, I promise multiple injections are, are a bioweapon.
                                         
    
                                         So I have a billion questions now.
                                         
                                         Why would they, where do these six injection information come from and
                                         
                                         why would they target six that makes zero sense to me was that an expectation
                                         
                                         that they would need six? Go ahead.
                                         
                                         I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't jump in, but what I'm asking, everything makes sense
                                         
                                         if you invert your expectations. Nothing makes sense if doctors are acting like doctors and
                                         
                                         hospitals are acting like hospitals and the White House is
                                         
                                         acting like the White House and the FDA is acting like the FDA, because all of that would suggest
                                         
    
                                         that the goal is to heal people and to save them. So none of this makes sense under those
                                         
                                         circumstances, right? Why would you have a spreadsheet that anticipates six injections?
                                         
                                         You don't even know if they're going to be six, you know, COVID waves, right, when the spreadsheet was obtained.
                                         
                                         Now, if you turn the hourglass upside down and you listen to what Brandon and I and Brian, all of us are saying,
                                         
                                         and others, you know, people smarter than I am, like, you know, General Spalding and China Watchers, now consider that war is being waged against us, and that the Chinese Communist
                                         
                                         Party doesn't wage war the same way that we in the West think war is waged with armies and
                                         
                                         invasions and bombs. They wage it through subverting our institutions,
                                         
                                         through buying up our farmland, through buying up our water resources, through owning,
                                         
    
                                         Brian taught me this, the energy grid, you know, all of this green stuff, which I thoroughly thought
                                         
                                         I supported, is made in China, solar and wind. And so they now own our grid if we shift to an all green, no fossil fuel
                                         
                                         energy grid. They, you know, Brandon talked about a database. I once went through a CVS and did
                                         
                                         one of those PCR tests for COVID and did a video that showed the package has no English lettering on it. It's only Chinese. My DNA,
                                         
                                         which is now on this swab, where do those swabs go? This was confirmed by one company in California,
                                         
                                         which was harvesting people's DNA through this nasal swabbing. Why the testing and testing and
                                         
                                         testing, the mandatory testing? Great way to
                                         
                                         harvest DNA. You know, where do the sharps go? You know, all these injections. You know, where do
                                         
    
                                         the sharps go? I mean, China has made no secret that it wants to own the world's database of DNA
                                         
                                         and be the world's kind of medical gatekeeper by the year 2030. And Branton's absolutely right. These people harvest organs
                                         
                                         of dissidents. They put people in quarantine camps. They solder people, you know, if they are
                                         
                                         infected into their homes. They force abortions on women. They have no, and I'm not talking about
                                         
                                         Chinese people, obviously. I'm talking about the leadership. this Communist Party has no limit to the way it will wage war,
                                         
                                         even on its own people. So now they're waging war on us. So then it makes sense. You get a little
                                         
                                         bit sick with the first one. You get sicker with the second one. You have catastrophic symptoms.
                                         
                                         None of the doctors are going to tell you what they are because I found out through Dr. Jim Thorpe that $11 million went to
                                         
    
                                         one medical organization to lie to people, the most vulnerable people, about the dangers of
                                         
                                         the injections. And these contracts, and they found many of them in the CARES Act,
                                         
                                         are written so that the doctors and the medical organizations have to give the money back if they don't follow the HHS script.
                                         
                                         So now you understand the fifth one, the sixth one,
                                         
                                         you're dead or dying, you know, or you can't reproduce,
                                         
                                         or you're in a wheelchair, or you're thoroughly disabled.
                                         
                                         And Ed Dowd has shown the scale, using government databases
                                         
                                         and insurance databases, of disabilities of working age Americans just now
                                         
    
                                         with just two injections. Why do we think they're going to stop there? The goal is to get us to be
                                         
                                         geopolitically, right? I'm not a doctor. I'm a political analyst. I was a political consultant.
                                         
                                         Geopolitically, it makes perfect sense. You give people three and four and five and six of these injections over the course
                                         
                                         of the next two or three years, you have an America in which the leaders are dead or hurt.
                                         
                                         You know, the next generation is dead or hurt. Women are not able to reproduce. And I have,
                                         
                                         you know, even more horrific data since I last spoke to you about that.
                                         
                                         So easy to roll right in or to pour in from
                                         
                                         Canada or to come up through Mexico. So easy to take over the United States or to, you know,
                                         
    
                                         what is there to take over? I mean, there'll just be a change in administration. Right now,
                                         
                                         our administration is wholly captured by China. We know that through from Hunter Biden's laptop.
                                         
                                         It'll just be a more obvious ownership of our White House and of our institutions,
                                         
                                         and we'll be too weak to fight back.
                                         
                                         Well, this would be the appropriate time to bring Brandon back and have him react
                                         
                                         to what you've just laid out.
                                         
                                         Brandon, your reaction to all this?
                                         
                                         I think Naomi is 100% correct, and I think that the situation is worse than I think Naomi's 100% correct. And I think that the situation is worse than I think anybody
                                         
    
                                         understands. I know that it is because when I go up and I serve as a occasional subject matter
                                         
                                         expert, the generals I talk to sit and they're confounded. And inevitably, it's usually the major and colonel level that will come to me
                                         
                                         and say, well, we're seeing the same things too, but we can't get command to pay attention because
                                         
                                         they're political. They're taking political orders, not military orders. And so there is
                                         
                                         the suspension of our ability to respond because nobody in power wants to believe.
                                         
                                         Because it's almost, I mean, when you think about it, it's so frightening.
                                         
                                         You almost wish it weren't true.
                                         
                                         Yeah, this is hard to listen to.
                                         
    
                                         What is the, Brandon, what the the counter argument to all this if somebody uh is is concerned
                                         
                                         that you're overreacting or that this is apocryphal in some way what do people say uh they say that
                                         
                                         i'm an anti-china bigot and and they primarily tried to uh i'm speaking and uh in 2020 uh
                                         
                                         january right as the pandemic was happening i was was giving my usual talk to a group of special forces operators in a base in Florida.
                                         
                                         And the colonel there didn't like what I was talking about.
                                         
                                         I was talking about the genetic origins of COVID at the time.
                                         
                                         I believe it was in France.
                                         
                                         They were getting early samples, genetic samples of the disease. And it was this chimeric disease and i said that term and the jet the colonel there uh
                                         
    
                                         uh summarily booted me banned me from the base for as long as he was in command and he
                                         
                                         officially the official complaint was that i made a homophobic slur because i said that there was uh elements of hiv in the pandemic's dna which of
                                         
                                         course there is um and so that's that's what they do when they don't like what i have to say
                                         
                                         they just try to cancel me but unfortunately for them i'm not in their chain of command i'm an
                                         
                                         outside consultant i left government for a reason and this is why they can only just say we don't
                                         
                                         want to use you anymore brandon they can't do anything more to me speaking of florida before you uh again naomi's reaction uh your internet is glitching
                                         
                                         a little bit and uh for those of you uh watching right now live he is uh about the the hurricane
                                         
                                         is about to hit landfall where he is so are you things okay there right now yeah it looks like it looks like it was the
                                         
    
                                         chinese yeah well my you know it's funny i i did these interviews uh the last month it happened
                                         
                                         with dennis prager a month ago and they were joking with me after the show right when i started
                                         
                                         talking about china it glitched out but it's probably from the hurricane luckily the hurricane
                                         
                                         is going to hit well not luckily but too bad for them it's going to hit two hours north of us i think we should be fine
                                         
                                         and now we uh let's give you a chance to react to uh brandon's comments there about what he's saying
                                         
                                         well i'm just agreeing with him and you know glad that he's courageously
                                         
                                         you know forging ahead his message is so so important are you getting pushback
                                         
                                         are you kidding i mean of the van i'm guessing where is it how does what what form does it take
                                         
    
                                         what form does it take other than hit pieces that that that this is politically motivated in some
                                         
                                         way what what what kind of does this do you feel as though the chinese communist
                                         
                                         party is catching wind of this and coming after you or where do you think the energy is coming
                                         
                                         from well i guess i guess what brian who i'm very influenced by on this issue um because of his
                                         
                                         expertise you know his view would probably be if he were here that i'm not you know gonna be attacked by a Chinese
                                         
                                         special operator right that they operate their influence and they're aligned with
                                         
                                         the World Economic Forum World Health Organization right they operate Bill
                                         
                                         Gates they operate through cutouts basically so totally you know to have
                                         
    
                                         the New York Times The Guardian and Vanity Fair all line up in a two week period right when I report on, you report 69, this bombshell showing that the White House knew about this horrific eight page report in Pfizer that is even worse than the last report I told you about, about injuring babies.
                                         
                                         They kill, it kills two babies. Two babies die and horrible injuries, 21% spontaneous abortion
                                         
                                         rate. This is sent to the White House. Rochelle Walensky gives a press conference telling the
                                         
                                         women, the pregnant women of America, that vaccine is safe and effective for pregnancy and they
                                         
                                         should take it. So right when I report that, you know, this wave of coverage designed to make me seem insane, because that's the theme of
                                         
                                         the, you know, these stories, you know, complete lunatic. That's not China. That's the influence
                                         
                                         of China on the White House. I mean, since you and I last spoke, the Missouri attorney general has found through a FOIA and a successful
                                         
                                         lawsuit that the White House, the CDC, the FDA, the Bureau of the Census, for some reason,
                                         
    
                                         and Twitter and Facebook colluded to single out my accurate tweet in June of 2021 warning women
                                         
                                         about menstrual problems subsequent to receiving mRNA injections. And so this whole smear campaign
                                         
                                         had the White House involved, which is scary, and DHS. So I guess what I'm trying to say is
                                         
                                         that's the cutout, right? That you don't need a secret Chinese agent, you know, going after
                                         
                                         Naomi Wolf, because you've got our whole White House is captured, our FTA is captured, and so on.
                                         
                                         Our media are captured, and I trace the money flow in the bodies of others. And I guess, you know, that's the pushback that I experienced. Other pushback, you know, as you know, I married my bodyguard. So I don't really, you know, worry about physical threats because he's out there taking care of that in advance for me and not telling me, luckily. But again, it wouldn't come directly. It would be through intermediaries.
                                         
                                         And we're all, like everyone I know in the medical freedom movement is, I mean, what Brian says is
                                         
                                         it's too expensive these days to assassinate someone. He's not saying for him. He's saying
                                         
    
                                         that assassination or injury is not the method of choice, then it's much more effective to engage
                                         
                                         in lawfare, for instance, and everyone I know, or deep, you know, de-licensing or, um, reputational
                                         
                                         attack and, and everyone I know in the medical freedom movement or just the Liberty movement
                                         
                                         is facing some version of that. You know, when you say the medical freedom, uh, movement is,
                                         
                                         is that actually have a formal structure to it now?
                                         
                                         Are there people, specific leaders in that?
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         So it's just people that are interested in making their own decisions
                                         
    
                                         with their doctor, I guess, is what really is at the core of that.
                                         
                                         Well, you guys, Susan, do you have any questions before you have to bail out?
                                         
                                         They've sufficiently upset me and scared me.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         She's like, oh, God, here we go.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It is a little nerve wracking.
                                         
                                         Well, my head is swimming with so many of these observations.
                                         
    
                                         Let's go back to the AI generated journalism.
                                         
                                         Is that something that, where is that playing out?
                                         
                                         I mean, you know, I was in, I was in, I was at CNN for 10 years.
                                         
                                         It wasn't like the AI determined what the stories were every day.
                                         
                                         There was a 26-year-old line producer.
                                         
                                         I mean, that's what people don't understand.
                                         
                                         It's somebody fresh out of college that's feeding you the news typically,
                                         
                                         and they're going with whatever they you know whatever the echoes are
                                         
    
                                         from their recent uh educational experience and the ai i'm assuming is more on the well has to be
                                         
                                         more on the digital side where is that coming from and what how does it manifest well that is there
                                         
                                         are a lot of mysteries about it um but i did find a bloom Bloomberg article that I included in the bodies of others that confirmed
                                         
                                         that AI is being used globally to basically write journalism. And what I don't know,
                                         
                                         the methodology for that, but I do know, and, you know, as a former political consultant,
                                         
                                         I always look at historical events backwards, right? I look at the outcome and then you swim upstream to try to see what the cause was. But the outcome you
                                         
                                         can see all around you, for example, don't go to Diwali, Thanksgiving, Passover because you'll
                                         
                                         kill grandma, right? That meme, that piece of content was reproduced around the world in like
                                         
    
                                         hundreds of languages and dialects simultaneously. So like in Israel, people were saying, don't go to
                                         
                                         Shabbat because you'll kill grandma. In Britain, they were saying, you know, don't go to Guy Fawkes
                                         
                                         Day because you'll kill grandma. We were saying, don't go to Thanksgiving because you'll kill
                                         
                                         grandma. Human editors and publishers, as you know, Dr. Drew, can't do that around the world simultaneously.
                                         
                                         They don't coordinate with each other that way.
                                         
                                         They don't assign the identical story.
                                         
                                         They don't have the identical quote.
                                         
                                         AI can do that.
                                         
    
                                         Another example is, well, in what we're allowed to talk about right i mean the new ceo of um of twitter has
                                         
                                         said freedom of speech is not freedom of reach so this is not exactly journalism but twitter and
                                         
                                         facebook are the biggest uh platforms for news articles to get out to the public now uh news
                                         
                                         outlets are very dependent on those platforms. So now, and she's acknowledging
                                         
                                         it, you can be dialed down if you're not like straight up de-platform like I was. But if I'm
                                         
                                         dialed way down for a story for this, right? I mean, you know, you do a version for YouTube and
                                         
                                         a version that's not for YouTube, as I recall, understandably, because YouTube won't let us talk
                                         
                                         about this, right? Well, there isn't some
                                         
    
                                         human being going through and say, oh, there's that Naomi Wolf again, and there's Dr. Drew,
                                         
                                         and they're talking about vaccines. That's AI picking up certain words, certain patterns
                                         
                                         from the mass amount of content and dialing it down or blocking it accordingly. Um, so that's a slightly different version of AI, but lastly, I'll just say,
                                         
                                         you know, I just finished a new book. It's coming out in November,
                                         
                                         but I noticed that all of these articles, um,
                                         
                                         had been updated, uh, and, and they'd been updated recently.
                                         
                                         So the original version of stupidity or of wrongness or of saying you've got to wear your mask because it's effective or these vaccines are effective or the whole kind of discrimination apparatus of 2021 has gone into a memory hole.
                                         
                                         And all of these articles have been updated so that that's been erased now, partly probably for legal reasons.
                                         
    
                                         You know that all of these, there should be many
                                         
                                         lawsuits. I mean, people are suing people who mandated, suing people who discriminated, suing
                                         
                                         people who, you know, closed the doors to education for their children. You can't find that anymore.
                                         
                                         And again, a human being can't go through and cut and change all of those articles in that way.
                                         
                                         Those are three examples. That is very interesting.
                                         
                                         Let's spend the last few minutes sort of getting into solution, if there is one.
                                         
                                         Brandon, do you have sort of recommendations for how we respond to all this?
                                         
                                         Yeah, so the first thing to understand is that while our government is both inept and compromised,
                                         
    
                                         it is not universally so. There are people that we can rely on,
                                         
                                         people who are elected, as well as the faceless men and women of the deep state. Actually,
                                         
                                         they aren't all bad people. And I have communicated, for instance, Senator Rand Paul,
                                         
                                         until the pandemic hit, we were talking, his staff and I, with trying to change the
                                         
                                         definition of what a bribe is under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and basically reclassify
                                         
                                         tech transfers coming from US-based tech firms going to China as a bribe. Because let's face
                                         
                                         it, that's what it is. And so one of the reasons that China is eating our lunch
                                         
                                         in technology generally, but specifically in biotech, is because our biotech firms and our
                                         
    
                                         investors and our innovators transfer technology as an opening bid to gain access, proprietary
                                         
                                         access often, to that massive Chinese market share. And the Chinese love when we do that. So if we could
                                         
                                         at least slow down that process, you will basically prevent a majority of that process
                                         
                                         from happening. They're not going to stop at all because some of those firms are big enough where
                                         
                                         they can pay the fines and deal with the legal issues. But there's a lot of startups out there
                                         
                                         that can't afford that. And so by raising
                                         
                                         that risk level on them, you've just cut at least by half their willingness to transfer technology
                                         
                                         and proprietary intellectual property to the Chinese biotech war machine. Another thing we
                                         
    
                                         need to do, I mentioned in our individual segment together, Dr. Drew, was the Committee for Investment in the United
                                         
                                         States, CFIUS. This is a component of the Department of Justice. They have to get everything
                                         
                                         right 100% of the time. And China is constantly throwing mud at them, trying to purchase real
                                         
                                         estate near sensitive military facilities, purchase real estate that has sensitive agricultural products that are
                                         
                                         grown there, that are trying to purchase US tech firms. So they have to get it right all the time,
                                         
                                         and they just can't because you can't catch it all. So what I propose doing is expanding the
                                         
                                         budget and the staff of CFIUS and giving it a wider scope so that it can not only detect the incoming Chinese attempts to
                                         
                                         buy our tech firms and buy access to our people, but that we can also then stop them en masse
                                         
    
                                         much better than we have. And those are two of the big things. The third thing I propose in the book,
                                         
                                         which you can now see behind me, the third thing that I propose is we get together at least with our allies, preferably the rest of the
                                         
                                         world, but at least with the countries who align with us, and we create an international
                                         
                                         treaty that govern the safe use, research, and development of biotechnology from here
                                         
                                         on out.
                                         
                                         And we create standards and protocols for using CRISPR-Cas9 more responsibly.
                                         
                                         We're obviously never going to stop using it, but we need to use it more responsibly. It's like the
                                         
                                         Wild West right now when we deal with CRISPR-Cas9, and we need to really regulate that better.
                                         
    
                                         In the book, I talk about modeling it along the Trump administration's Artemis Accords
                                         
                                         for how we would govern development
                                         
                                         of the moon.
                                         
                                         Some things like that should be applied to the biotech sector generally, and specifically
                                         
                                         the use and proliferation of CRISPR-Cas9.
                                         
                                         And those three things will really, I think, slow down China's march toward biotech supremacy.
                                         
                                         I see Naomi nodding on many of the things you were saying. I'm going to get her
                                         
                                         input in a second, but I want two quick follow-ups. It seems you didn't mention the military being
                                         
    
                                         involved with this. Since it is sort of framed as a war, it seems like there needs to be some
                                         
                                         sort of white paper from the military or something like that, where there's at least a, you know,
                                         
                                         sort of a military-wide consensus about what's happening here.
                                         
                                         Well, the elements of the intelligence community particularly during the trump administration the fbi john ratcliffe the former director of national intelligence they got it they got the the problem
                                         
                                         the issue was as soon as biden took over like i said one of the first things he did
                                         
                                         was to kill that fbi china shop that trump had started so they so it could be restarted is the point my other question is you mentioned uh your connection
                                         
                                         with rand paul's operation i've always you're i'm going to ask you a question you may not be
                                         
                                         able to answer and it may not be a fair question but i keep hearing that he knows more than he's
                                         
    
                                         letting on or that he talks about in many of these congressional hearings and things. Why is that? Well, some of that has to do with classified what he's getting access to from
                                         
                                         sort of the military side of biotech. And I really don't know. I don't know him that well.
                                         
                                         I know some of his staff. I used to work on the Hill. But I haven't, like I said,
                                         
                                         since the pandemic hit, I haven't had the kind of connections with them that I used to have. I do intermittently give them inputs for when they were questioning Fauci, for instance. But, you know, I couldn't answer that decisively. But I do know that some of what he has access to is proprietary information. He can't share it in a public forum, even though he's a Senator.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I was afraid of that. And, uh, and it feels, it feels like based on what we've all been hearing that, uh, it's some of the same material we were talking about here today.
                                         
                                         And, uh, it's really, it's where the rubber hits the road, but Naomi, uh, if you would answer any,
                                         
                                         any information you have about Rand Paul, number one, and number two,
                                         
                                         go ahead and respond to my question about solutions yeah i don't have any information
                                         
    
                                         about rand paul but i i think it's a great question because to me he seems clearly to
                                         
                                         be pulling his punches um as well uh i guess the solution to everything, in addition to what Brandon said, of course, is, from my point of view, always legislative.
                                         
                                         And your audience knows that we have something called Bill Camp, where you can share any state or federal bill and affect legislation.
                                         
                                         It's on dailycloud.io.
                                         
                                         I mention this because there are some really great bills already in the database, ready to go, ready to be passed,
                                         
                                         that need, you know, you guys to get behind them to help address some of this. For instance,
                                         
                                         there's a bill, as I recall, to stop China from buying farmland. There's another bill, as I recall, to stop China from buying land near military facilities. There are many, many bills to stop, to end emergency law and to stop mandates,
                                         
                                         you know, forever, you know, state by state. I mean, right now people are terrified they're
                                         
    
                                         being brought back. Well, you pass a bill in your own state, which is pretty easy to do. We passed
                                         
                                         the Five Freedoms Bill in 33 states and your state cannot bring back, you know, mandates unless they repeal or override that bill.
                                         
                                         You know, no central bank digital currency, because that's going to be a feature of this.
                                         
                                         You know, not having, I mean, you know, insisting on US made solar and wind, for instance, if
                                         
                                         that's possible to replace our grid going into the hands of China.
                                         
                                         In other words, if you search Bill Cam and China, you'll see a lot of really good bills that are
                                         
                                         there already. And I do think that what Brandon was talking about, which is, you know, making,
                                         
                                         sending IP. And when you're saying that, it blew my mind because so many bills I've read
                                         
    
                                         have the US taxpayers paying for the development of IP, they then gets transferred. And I was like, why does anyone think
                                         
                                         this is a good idea? Why would taxpayers go for it? But now I know the answer. So, you know,
                                         
                                         preventing the use of taxpayer funds to, for research and development that goes anywhere
                                         
                                         other than to, you know, in the ownership of the
                                         
                                         US taxpayer, essentially, or the government, essentially. I mean, why are we funding IP that
                                         
                                         is making tech companies rich and making other people rich when it's our money and our IP and
                                         
                                         then going to our enemies? These are just some ideas. But I guess what I want to say in conclusion
                                         
                                         is that if you don't see a bill there that you want to get behind and pass, you can draft a bill and let us
                                         
    
                                         know what you like. We want to draft Brandon's now. We'll draft it. If we can raise a little
                                         
                                         money to hire our lawyer to draft it, that's how we do it. And then we can pass it. And I
                                         
                                         really want to pass this bill that Brandon described. Is that on Daily I.O.?
                                         
                                         Daily Cloud, rather?
                                         
                                         Yeah, if you go to Bill Kim, you can search any federal bill.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Got it.
                                         
                                         And I think I gave your Twitter handle incorrectly.
                                         
    
                                         It's Naomi R. Wolf?
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Final thoughts here, guys.
                                         
                                         Naomi, since you're up, I'll give you a last shot here.
                                         
                                         I mean, you know, I guess I just want to say to Susan, it's so awful. And to you,
                                         
                                         like wrapping your brain around this is the hardest part, right? Because we've had such
                                         
                                         a wonderful life in this country, you know, from the post-war period on, but all of our lifetimes.
                                         
    
                                         But we're not going to survive if we don't face what Brandon is saying and what Brian's been in this country, you know, from the post-war period on, but are all of our lifetimes, but
                                         
                                         we're not going to survive if we don't face what Brandon is saying and what Brian's been
                                         
                                         saying and what I've been saying and what General Spalding has been saying and so on.
                                         
                                         We, we, we owe it to our kids to recognize that this is 1933 and we have to see it.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And we thank you so much, Brandon, your last comments.
                                         
                                         Uh, you know,

                                         That's right.
                                         
                                         That's right.

                                         That's the big one.
                                         
                                         That's right.
                                         
                                         But,
                                         
                                         uh,
                                         
    
                                         you know,
                                         
                                         it's not hopeless.
                                         
                                         There are people,
                                         
                                         there are Patriots out there and,
                                         
                                         um,
                                         
                                         you know,
                                         
                                         we,
                                         
                                         we just got to stand together or surely we will all hang separately.
                                         
    
                                         So,
                                         
                                         uh,
                                         
                                         you know,
                                         
                                         just stand together and keep
                                         
                                         fighting it because, um, the bad guys haven't won yet. We will leave it at that guys. Thank you so

                                         tomorrow ed down is making another appearance i think it's brief i believe he's part of as much
                                         
                                         of the way no me or i guess as much way no me as today he'll be the second act after aga wilson uh
                                         
                                         and uh unfortunately dr kelly will not be with us,
                                         
                                         but Ed apparently has some new data.
                                         
                                         In fact, Susan has been sort of toying with the idea
                                         
                                         of having Ed help host some of the shows,
                                         
                                         so maybe she can talk to him into that.
                                         
                                         On Thursday, Mark Cianchese without Lionel,
                                         
    
                                         so we can actually get into stuff with Mark.
                                         
                                         He's a cognitive psychologist.
                                         
                                         Jeffrey Tucker coming back with Kelly on the 5th.
                                         
                                         September 6th, Joseph Freiman with Kelly.
                                         
                                         If you saw, please look at the previous interview we did with him.
                                         
                                         To me, maybe it's because he's a peer and he's such a clear thinker.
                                         
                                         Some of his thinking and what he has uncovered through his research
                                         
                                         is some of the most startling reporting I have seen so far.
                                         
    
                                         And then John Phillips, September 13th, Candace Owens coming in on the 19th,
                                         
                                         Pierre Corey coming back with Kelly Victory on the 20th. So I think there's nothing more to say
                                         
                                         other than tomorrow, by the way, we'll be at noon Pacific time. So pay attention to that.
                                         
                                         And Caleb, something quick. Yeah, something quick. People
                                         
                                         go look at Mark Chang easy's tweets. And if you go on his recent tweets, he's been retweeting
                                         
                                         stuff that he posted back in March of 2020. Literally almost word for word, all the stuff
                                         
                                         that people are saying now about this being a big, just a big giant debacle on the way he was
                                         
                                         saying, like from day one, he's been saying the same stuff i had no idea about that so i'm really looking forward to that episode specifically on the 31st
                                         
    
                                         that's gonna be very interesting oh yeah he he he was one of the first to talk in detail about mass
                                         
                                         formation psychosis and he framed all of his sort of observations based on the fact that that's what
                                         
                                         was going on and so yeah he he's been spot on from the beginning.
                                         
                                         So very far ahead of time.
                                         
                                         You saw?
                                         
                                         I mean, I was just going through and bookmarking once.
                                         
                                         He was talking, you know, he didn't have the words yet for mass formation psychosis,
                                         
                                         but he was specifically pointing to this is all being built on hype and fear.
                                         
    
                                         Don't fall for it.
                                         
                                         Don't fall for it.
                                         
                                         And some of these tweets are dated March of 2020.
                                         
                                         Like people were not thinking about it back then. and this guy was spot on in the early days so it's
                                         
                                         gonna i i have questions for him coming up too i'm excited for that one well send me a couple of
                                         
                                         those and we'll make sure we sort of bring them up tomorrow when he went on thursday when he comes
                                         
                                         in here but a reminder tomorrow is noon so please pay attention to that. Hang on one second. Emily Barsh is texting me.
                                         
                                         Yes, I'll tell.
                                         
    
                                         Yes, Kelly, of course, is absolutely fine.
                                         
                                         This is the, I guess people get nervous if Kelly misses any shows
                                         
                                         because of her recent diagnosis,
                                         
                                         but she's actually doing great.
                                         
                                         Everything is going as absolutely perfectly with her,
                                         
                                         but there's just a scheduling issue
                                         
                                         and nothing more than that.
                                         
                                         So Kelly is great and will be,
                                         
    
                                         as I said, joining us again on a couple of shows

                                         don't want to believe it but now it's happened so many times. Don't go there. Don't go there until you have heart evidence.
                                         
                                         It's it's, it's not, this correlation is not causation.
                                         
                                         So it's a, it's a ease.
                                         
                                         There was also some, you know, I I'm getting, I get this, there's a guy on
                                         
    
                                         Twitter I like following tame, the, the real truth or something like that.
                                         
                                         And he puts some interesting data up today about military, uh, findings
                                         
                                         and excess death and I want to, I want Ed Dow to take a look at that and see if he, because I'm starting to get confused again about what's really going on here.
                                         
                                         It's very hard to tell how much is COVID and how much is vaccine.
                                         
                                         And I'm seemingly back to where I was some time ago.
                                         
                                         And I know to the dismay of the Rumble Ranters, I am now completely convinced that boosting up my elderly patients was the correct thing to do.
                                         
                                         I've not seen a single adverse event, though the current variant, by the way, I've seen quite a bit of the current variant.
                                         
                                         It is very intense.
                                         
    
                                         People are sick for about three days.
                                         
                                         And without treatment, they get better very, very quickly.
                                         
                                         There's no cytokine storm or anything.
                                         
                                         And everybody's been vaccinated or had previous infections.
                                         
                                         So it's almost impossible to find an immunologically naive individual now.
                                         
                                         So we're really talking about what's going on in the general population
                                         
                                         of people with vaccine and previous illness.
                                         
                                         And so it's getting more and more complicated to make conclusions.
                                         
    
                                         But in the general population population this variant is more infectious than
                                         
                                         the previous variants and the previous variants if they were not significantly altered in their
                                         
                                         infectivity by the vaccine that means this may increase above baseline so stay tuned for whether
                                         
                                         or not it actually means people are more likely to get infected or not. We need more data on that.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Thank you so much.
