The following is the audio version of a video released at peak prosperity.com Visit peak prosperity.com to watch the video and to find other insightful content such as articles discussion forums and exclusive subscriber only content Hello everyone and welcome to this edition of the signal hour with Chris and Evie and We've got a really big show today. We're watching people dropping in into the Dragon's Lair just said what's going on today Merlin the Wizard was in first so that's some reading live comments here so when my eyes shift to the side I can see the comments too so if you this is a live show and if you want to comment comment live and drop them there and we

do our best to keep up with them sometimes they fly by a little fast but we do best. Evie and I here. We do read them after the show too so we will see your messages. Hi everybody so good to be here. Glad you're joining us for a second Signal Hour this week. We're happy to be able to bring this to you on Friday as well as Wednesdays. Yes absolutely. And so this is our second show this week and you'd think wow Is there anything left to talk about is there because we went for two hours last time one hour out in public This is all in public, but as well for our subscribers, and I will just point this out that now. We're doing our signal hour we have a public private component we are a

nearly 100 percent subscriber component we are a nearly 100% subscriber supported enterprise which allows us to not have advertising and not have any conflicts of interest and I say nearly because we also have some affiliates with companies and individuals we really really like and we use their products and so there's a little bit of revenue off of that but but we don't do ad revenue because we need to be able to say what we want to say. So for people who are subscribers, we have two things. This is taking a screenshot off the front page of peak prosperity. And so you can go to either one. But if you're a subscriber, drop into the second one and

you will just see a one long uninterrupted show for everybody else. You're whether you're watching this on X increasingly now X is um you know what's surprising what's that and great X is now larger for us than YouTube YouTube continues to like shadow ban us suppress us remember we got all those strikes back in the day because we said things like vaccines are bad oh no oh no um which they are fantastic congrats I know it couldn't happen to. So Google's Google's motto used to be, don't be evil. And Google owns YouTube, of course. And then they dropped the don't. And now they're just be evil and they're awful.

And by the way, it couldn't happen to a nicer company. Can't wait. I'd no longer use Google. It used to be the only way I could find information, but then they totally bastardized their search algorithms and started waiting stuff and hiding things. I have almost photographic memory first. Is that true? Yeah, that's true. You do. For stuff. And I'll go back and I'm like, I can't find an article. I know I read it.

Or if I do read it, I'm like, this has changed. Words are different. And they don't recognize any of that. So Google was busy throwing garbage out there suppressing results putting stuff out there and very Particinally Advocating for anybody who was a deep state big government kind of a player and so changing history Really? Yeah, they were changing like what we know about our world. Yeah, which I didn't consent to that I didn't either but I was looking for a reason to get away from it anyway, and then Grok comes along and something happened in January, I don't know what. But Grok starts reasoning, and it is now by far

my preferred search algorithm. Because it will tell me stuff, and it'll say, here's how I came to that conclusion, but also it gives me all the web pages, and so I can click through and say, good starting point, it's missing something, but it's an actual robust honest beginning part of a search term at this point. So Google's dead, good riddance.

Goodbye Google, good riddance is right. Good riddance. By the way do you have any tissues over there? I don't they're down at your feet. Oh shoot, we're battling a cold. Yeah you know so anyway part of part of life, hey cold happen. No big deal. So at any rate, that's, that's where we're at. And remember, for members, you just go to the links and you can ask any questions you want, and we'll probably get to them. So

By the way, hi, everybody. I just want to say Mogar the great said, great said, I love these. Enter the Dragon's Lair said, Hello, Evian Chris, Andrew Smirak. Thank you so much for making it 3 a.m. Where you are Wow Hey night owls. Good to see you Andrew. I love to the chickens. That's awesome. What happened? Excuse me to the ruling that found that they were a monopoly and we're told to break up You know, there's just literally they became part of that public private partnership. They worked closely with the government to affect national security. It's also called fascism. That's actually the definition of the word.

Actual definition of fascism. So while we were being harangued and lectured about, oh, you fascists, they were busy creating fascism and then telling us how dangerous fascism might be under somebody else besides them because that was our Democracy they were defending It's so gross. They're just a bunch of narcissistic rationalizing blowhards. They think they're do it They think the world improvers out there I got to tell you nothing worse than Silicon Valley tech bros who think they're saving the world beware the world improvers They're awful. They're really awful. Yeah. They're really, Oh,

we're going to be talking about awful people today. You ready? Great. Let's go. Let's go. Okay. So let's start here. Evie. We're going to talk about RFK junior on autism. We're going to start here. I hope I have the volume set correctly, but this is, um, so RFK junior just came out and he said said this and this is from C-SPAN. And let me see if I've got the volumes right. Autism destroys families. More importantly, it destroys our greatest resource, which are children.

These are children who should not be who should not be suffering like this. These are kids who many of them were fully functional and regressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they're two years old. And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.

And we have to recognize we are doing this to our children. One of the... We are doing this to our children. That's to me the... That's powerful. That's one of the most disturbing and powerful lines right and you what kind of people harm their own children now remember my definition of a cult is you're in a cult if if you subscribe to

an organized system of thinking that works against your better interests what could be more powerful than a cult that asks you, demands, that you harm your own children? I don't know what to make of that. I can't find that. Like I can't connect with that. It doesn't make sense to my soul. I don't know how it feels to you guys out there in the world, but it's deeply disturbing

to me that we're doing this to our children. I mean, I vaccinated my kids when they were younger. I didn't know. And thankfully, you know, there don't seem to be any long term consequences. But I think, like, I feel bad about it. And there's, you know, I just, I didn't have good information. Yeah. And I think a lot of people fall into that camp. Unfortunately, I do too and we're gonna talk about this directly Hypnicity Excuse me. Oh waking up is hard to do. Absolutely Hypnicity that is so true. Yeah painful

It's an emotional journey, right? It's I mean, it's you have to waking up means you have to let go of belief systems You had that were that were not accurate and sometimes in giving that up you have to come to tough conclusions like maybe my dad was kind of an asshole or you know oh maybe the government doesn't have my best interest at heart oh I was lied to by everybody I trusted most in life my teachers right like once you start falling down the rabbit hole you know you find out it's pretty much lies top to bottom. There's that thing which CHD which is Children's Health Defense by the way great organization and Mary Holland

president of it now and she was co-author of a book called Turtles All the Way Down. About vaccines it's terrible and an eye opening and a rough wake up hypnicity. But it might just as well have been titled lies all the way down. And that's what we're waking up to in our culture right now is it's pretty much lies all the way down. One lie, you find it's built on another lie. It's built on another lie. So this is what RFK Jr. is about to expose and we're going to go into the reactions against this because these are telling... Things that I think that we need to move away from today is this ideology that the autism diagnosis, that the autism prevalence increases, the relentless increases,

are simply artifacts of better diagnoses, better recognition, or changing diagnostic criteria. This is a preventable disease. So that's just not true. That's an argument that gets trotted out all the time. Oh, we're just diagnosing it more. But then you say, well, then why aren't we diagnosing moles more? Why isn't anything else increasing like that? it more but then you say well then why aren't we diagnosing moles more or you know isn't anything else increasing yeah why isn't anything else increasing like that why did we just get really good at diagnosing autism all of a sudden but by the way I can tell you flat out from my own personal experience being of an

age we did not have whole rooms full of special needs kids when I was in elementary school right we didn't have that I think we I was in elementary school. Right. We didn't have that. I think we had one in a school and it was a small private school, but that was it. It wasn't like classrooms and all these other teachers that were one on one assistants and stuff like that. I was talking. Remember we had, we gave that to her and there were these people that came in the husband wife team. The wife was a teacher, just retired 30 years. And so I asked her the question. I said, said you know tell me about the special needs stuff she said

oh remember she said it used to be 30 years ago when she started there would be one kid and you would get this little note like oh you know you know Bobby doesn't like seams in his socks and bright lights and stuff right one right she said now 25% of her class has a folder of special instructions and meds and don'ts and dos and this's and that's, 25%. So a quarter, it went from one per class of 30 kids to, you know, eight, seven or eight, you know, anyway.

And P.S., I mean, I've worked with autistic children before. It's really difficult to be in a caregiver position. Like I had parents that would just drop them off for some of these programs that we offered just because they needed a break and they needed some relief. I can only imagine that people aren't really trained to know how to deal with this and cope with kids that are in these positions and so it just gets worse. You know, I think there's a very specific way you need to work with them and it's hard to find people that are actually gifted and talented and educated in that manner. Now, I mean it's a spectrum so we just have to hold up in the idea it's a spectrum right? There's people with all sorts of what we would call non-neurotypical behaviors, right?

And that could range from Asperger's, right? To autism, mild, all the way up to fully dysfunctional people, which is what RFK started talking about. They're people who are fully dysfunctional. They can't go to the bathroom by themselves. They're never going to go out on a date. They can't hold eye contact. They'll never have a job, right?

And those, and by the way, there's, we have no, there is no national, we don't have a place you can send people like that to. So-called institutionalized. So there's these parents have to suddenly wrestle and they're in our own community of peak prosperity. I'm thinking of somebody in particular has to wrestle with this idea. I'm aging out, right? And I don't have anybody

to pass this person to. Right. And so what do you do? It's really devastating. And I don't know what what do people do because honestly, you know, if you go like the states have sort of state hospitals sometimes that take over. You know, my, my stepfather passed away of early onset Alzheimer's and it was really tough to find a place where we can place him because he got it so young. Oh yeah. And there's like an age range that they, you know, you have to be whatever 75 to go into like a nursing home, you can be like a 45 year old person in there. Um, so I don't know what they do with these kids, but as a parent, that's to go into like a nursing home, you can be like a 45 year old person in there.

So I don't know what they do with these kids, but as a parent, that's gotta be terrifying. Yeah. I can only imagine. Well, this is the bombshell, that sentence he just dropped right there. This is a preventable disease. This is a preventable disease. He's stating the obvious,

obviously he's been doing work in this area for decades. He's familiar with all of the data. So he knows stuff like you just have to read his books. He already knows the answer he's guiding people towards. Right. The way I'm interpreting this particular press conference is he's he's gently the landing for people. He's foaming the runway. Yep. He's pouring water on the house before the forest fire comes he's he but he already knows the answer and I think this is smart You can't just come out and go Y'all did this to your kids and that sucks, right? That's kind of a tough conclusion

Particularly since the blame I don't let me back that up. You were lied to comprehensively by people you could have and should have trusted That's right who knew better Had the data and chose to hide that from you while mandating that you harm your children. Again, cult behavior. It is cult behavior. You can't go to school. In fact, remember there was just a case that just came out where two parents of five children, Massachusetts said you have to vaccinate them. And they said, heck no. So they went to Texas, the big, long, noodly appendage of law from Massachusetts reached in and arrested those parents and put their kids out into DCF, you know,

hellscape started about that case. That makes me so angry. I cannot believe that they did that to somebody. I've been treated poorly by people in the healthcare system you know and and they threaten like And I don't know if anybody else has had this happen to them But if you decide that you don't want to give your children certain Vaccinations or you push back against what they're suggesting you get labeled and you get treated poorly

and I Don't trust those. But that can you even imagine having your children taken away? You can put yourself in that position? No, no, no crazy murderously mad is how I would get I wouldn't know how do you allow that? I mean, how do we sit by and watch our fellow countrymen get treated like this? I don't I don't know. Um, all right. So just to finish this out. Oh, by the way, let's see. I agree with this. Old but still young says, Oh, he already knows

the answer. He's guiding people toward correct. I think so. Um, yeah, great. All right. Let's just finish this up. This was a preventable disease. We know it's an environmental exposure. Okay, so sorry, you got to just stop this stuff up because it's important because people people like said, he didn't say vaccine. Just to be clear, a vaccine is an environmental exposure when he says an environmental exposure is using careful wording that says something from the outside is coming into their bodies right and causing this right that's an

important first thing he's a lawyer so you establish the case and by the way he's got a he's got a self so carefully because he knows as well as we know this is a very wide spectrum of things yeah and that not all cases of autism are gonna be traced back to vaccines so if he says vaccines cause it and you turn out that two didn't get caused by it, the whole argument legally falls apart. So he's a lawyer. He's setting it up. He's setting it up.

It's, it's one of those like simple logic things. Not all A's or B's therefore all B's can't be A's or whatever, you know, it's just like a S A T thing. So he's going to say, but we're sure that it's something environmental and we're going to look at everything. And now you have to exclude stuff. And he's isolated it back to 1989, not him, but there's a big NIH study. Something happened in 1989. Great. What was it? What was it? Is it 5g radiation? Is it Monsanto? Is it microplastics? Is it something? Right. And so it's going to turn out, I'll bet you anything, I'd put a lot of money on this.

We're going to find out if there's a hundred cases of autism. Just making this up off top of my head. Fifty of them are caused by vaccines. The other 50 by other stuff. But the 50 that were caused by vaccines probably would have been 10 if they hadn't had microplastics and neurotoxins. Like other insults to the body. would have been 10 if they hadn't had microplastics and you know neurotoxins. Like other insults to the body.

It's going to be a big multi, it's going to be hard to unravel. But the idea that you take something that dysregulates profoundly someone's immune system by design, that's what a vaccine does. It's supposed to irritate and inflame your immune system. That's why they put the aluminum adjuvant in there. By the way, we're not ever supposed to be naturally exposed to aluminum, so our body doesn't know what to do with it. So it gets wildly inflamed and your immune system goes to fight and it gets wildly aggravated. And maybe in that wild aggravated state, it actually self harms because you had these other underlying

insults P fast from your fire retardant jammies and right, you know, juice box H five fructose corn syrup is loaded with glyphosate or whatever all the other things are. It's an environmental exposure. And it's going to be a curve where some are caused just because of the vaccines and it was bad combination genetics plus sure that thing. But the rest are going to be caused by the cumulative insult of all these things. That's right. Yep. So he's being careful that breaks straw that breaks the camel's back. So I had people immediately reach out to me a couple days ago like, why didn't he say vaccines? Because he's doing something very legally careful here. Absolutely. Genes do not cause epidemics. Correct. They can provide a vulnerability. You need an environmental toxin. Theount of money and resources put

into studying genetic causes, which is a dead end, has been historically 10 to 20 times spent by NIH and other agencies to study environmental factors, to study exposures, to study external factors. And that's where we're going to find the answer. All right. There it is. Okay, very good. Now. Okay, Nathan Strong has something to share about this. He says, my son is autistic. He paid taxes last year. He has a job. He's going to college. He's an eagle scout.

Well, okay. So what the heck is wrong with these people, right? It's like, all right, Nathan don't He's saying no, he's wrong He's wrong So so this is in that common thread Dax said this I'm genuinely happy for your son, but he is an exception He's obviously exceptional. So I'm not taking anything away from them, actually celebrating him. But I do understand what Kennedy is saying, that there are no two kids on the spectrum that are alike. And there are so many families that are devastated without resources to handle this. And Nathan came back.

Can I say the F word? Yeah. He's not an exception and RFK is a fucking liar Wow Okay, so clearly we don't share reality or everybody doesn't share the same reality about this No, but Nathan is demonstrating we'll get to the larger piece behind it, but he's demonstrating profound Tds at this point in time I think but also potentially Parental guilt which is misplaced at this point in

time. I'm guessing I'll make the case for that. But I think Nathan is really asking this he's like, how will we preserve our way of life if our K as his way? This is what they've sold us. This is health. Health has to be put into your child. No. It's so disgusting. Like literally that's what a child going to well baby checkups is going to experience in their life. It's so awful. Sorry babies, we shouldn't have done that to you. Or how about this? This is typical. I think this is a very typical sort of a thing from Bella. Bella says, this man is insane and he will quit or be fired before the end of the year. I don't know any child like that. He's making a mess of the Kennedy name. Unqualified

and uninformed is a dangerous combination. And this is in response to to that to to our pay our case saying his stuff but but to Nathan's thing Nathan saying how dare RFK suggest that. Right. You know, anyway, but Bella is a Democrat for life. Harris waltz for blue heart emoji. LFG. So these people are deranged. There's something really wrong. So very typical, right? So she goes for character assassination shame.

Oh, his family must be hate him. This is the worst thing that they can imagine on the blue side, because think of the terror they live with in on her side, right? You have to be part of this bait ball of fish that, and you're, you're, you have to stay around the central net centrality of the bait ball. And if you stray away, like they will kill you, like they'll make you lose your job. They'll communicate you. They won't talk to you anymore Hate you. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's happening a lot of people actually Yeah, and it's happening a lot to people who fit Bella's profile. Unfortunately, there's just something very wrong with White liberal women. It's a tragedy at this stage. I don't know what it is, but there's something not quite right about that

Okay, but carrying on Liz Warren never wanted to disappoint Ditch yeah, what? Okay. What do we got here? I won't share RFK juniors lies about autism is disgusting and dangerous if he had a shred of decency He would apologize and resign And dangerous if he had a shred of decency he would apologize and resign me Autistic people contribute every day to our nation's greatness to every kid with autism I'm in this fight all the way for you could creep. Oh my god Liz So tone deaf so not just tone deaf But but she was in power the whole time the autism epidemic which can't be genetic because epidemics can't be genetic

As he said the whole time it was happening it was happening she said dick all about it nothing and now she's outraged that somebody wants to do something about it this is what we're up against doesn't make any sense it doesn't it's immoral it's a moral it's illogical it's anti-scientific it's fascistic it's gross it's culty it's fascistic, it's gross, it's culty, it's evil. But they'll turn around and say you're all of those things because confession by projection is there. Confession by projection, that's exactly. But his lies about, I won't share his lies about autism. Okay, Liz, what lies? What lies did he project in that? What lies did he say? And what's disgusting about what he said? Nothing. He's talking about,

you know, using facts and trying to get to the bottom of something that we all really want to understand better. It's disgusting. You're absolutely right. No question about it. Holy F S that person. I mean, I'm with you. We're with you. That's right, Joe So so we're there okay, so in response to Liz Callie means our favorite retard finder and also Patrick Webb just in a row I didn't hand select these this is just the kind of feedback she got Trying to Callie means says trying to figure out the cause of autism and jumpstart research on reversing It is standing against people with autism. Let's stop there

What Hello Clue phone it's for you. Hello I can't hear anything I mean what the no, seriously, what is going on? What is even happening? like how like we've reached a state of extremity that That that RFK jr. Could come out and say we found a way to make women beautiful for their entire lives and Liz would be Like I want to be ugly

Yeah, no, I get what you're saying. You know, it's like it's just against it for the sake of being again. Yeah, exactly It's it's the red party blue party crap. Yeah, that's what it is. It's not logical I don't know if it's left right anymore. No, I think we have to go up down. I think there's either people who are decent and people who are indecent. I think you either have integrity or you're just wildly out of integrity. But by the time Liz is saying stuff like this, I know I did, I did nothing at all about autism and I'm going to shout down anybody who says they're going to get to the bottom of it. Liz is saying clearly, clearly I like autistic children

and I want more of them. That's what Liz is saying. Yeah. Shoot them up. That's what she's saying. Shoot them up with those shots. Yeah. Keep it going. Keep it going. Liz wants more of this. This is what Liz stands for. Yes. How dare RFK Jr. say he's going to do do something about this This is how life should be and Liz Warren. I'm embarrassed that you are You know from from Massachusetts. She's awful. You're nasty. She's awful anyhow Retard finder says you retards are trying to outdo each other now. You need to resign

I'm just so glad we can say retard again, so I'm just I'm Okay, this is a big part of my childhood. I just was I don't think we were using it right but it's just a word it's a word to my lexicon like Blue J it's just a thing I know it's a word okay reclaim it why and Patrick Webb says why is it considered wrong to investigate the causes behind the dramatic rise in autism rates shouldn't we be actively seeking answers exploring potential causes treatments and even cures for a condition that's increasingly impacting children and families each year. Now, that is an understatement. Yes. Because I don't know if anybody has ever gone into, you know, or knows a family that is coping with this, but it is unbelievably hard. It is truly devastating. To the hundredthth degree like it's life-altering

It changes the entire trajectory of your life Yeah, and your family dynamics all of it like all the children of siblings that have this like it pulls your parents attention Like it just wow. Yeah It's like a bomb going off indeed indeed anyway, but they're trying to be reasonable with unreasonable people So this is something we've talked about, particularly remember in the in the overall, like all the people are doing the protesting, you know, and we're just like, you can't make sense of it. Right. Like, oh, I don't want to return to the handmade stale. Therefore, I support grown men with mental illness and women's bathrooms.

It's just you can't make sense of it. Right. It's just the most bizarre thing. So we've reached the nonsense stage of all of this. By the way, Data Republican is one of my favoritest people of all time. Great. Yeah, she's he. She is it a she? Okay, great. Excuse me. Data Republican says, hello Senator Warren. I'm writing to you as someone in a position you claim to represent. I am profoundly deaf. I live with severe speech and language impairments. I am functionally nonverbal. I also have mild autism, precisely the kind of neurodivergence you and others are invoking to score points against RFK Jr. This tweet is one of the most disingenuous

and cynical things I've seen from you, particularly given your claims of being an advocate for the disability community. And it carries on. You're using people with mild autism to hold them up as a shield to attack RFK Jr., ignoring the obvious context of his remarks. You know full well he was referring to severe autism, the kind that robs people of speech and autonomy.

He was not calling for the eradication of people like Elon Musk, who's talking about helping the children who scream through the night, who can't speak or hold a spoon, who wander into traffic because their sensory systems don't register danger? To collapse all of autism into one political narrative is not advocacy. It's a betrayal of those of us with disabilities. And it reveals that your commitment is not to us, but to score political points against the other side. If you genuinely cared about us, you would be making distinctions loudly. Instead, you flattened us for a talking point. You do not speak for me." And old

but still young said, my friends, 34 year old nonverbal, violently violent, autistic kid has pretty much wrecked their family. It's put it on a complete trajectory. I'm so sorry to hear that. That's what Liz Warren wants more of. And now the reason I think I'm going to have some compassion for Nathan Strang is cause I think saw on some level he probably had one of those before and after children, right before totally fine on track. Everything's cool.

You went to a wellness visit, came home, the kid was f fussy cried a bit next day. No eye contact and here we are Exactly. Yeah, so you in your mind as a parent if you're at all like not a retard you notice that the shift Oh, you certainly do Yep And so you have to suppress that and I think you get to what Helen Joyce described Why it is that some parents have to stay in a delusion? I'm so glad you found this remember this Oh, I do. I don't remember it. But I found it because I thought it was germane to this conversation. Let's bring it back. I'm talking with Peter Burgosian, who I, you

know, I get friends with. There's a lot of people who can't move on on this. And because that's the people who have transitioned their own children. So those people are going to be like, you know, the Japanese soldiers who were on Pacific Islands and didn't know the war was over. Right. They've got to fight forever. This is why, this is another reason why this is the worst, worst, worst social contagion that we'll ever have experienced. A lot of people have done the worst thing that you could do, which is to harm their children irrevocably because of it. Those people will have to believe that they did the right thing for the rest of their lives, for their own sanity and for their own self-respect. So they'll still be fighting. And each one of those people destroys

entire organizations and entire friendship groups. Like I've lost count of the number of times that somebody has said to me of a specific organization that has got turned upside down on this. Oh, the deputy director has a trans child or, you know, oh, the journalist on that paper who does special investigations has a trans child or whatever, the entire organization gets paralyzed by that one person. And it may not even be widely known at the organization that they have a trans child, but it will come out, like people will have sort of said it quietly. And now you can't talk truth in front of that person. And you know, you can't, because what you're saying is you as a parent have done a truly a truly human rights abuse level of awful thing to your child that cannot be fixed.

There are specific individuals who are really actively against women's rights here, and it's not known why they are. But I happen to know through the back channels that it's because they trans their child. And so those people will do anything for the entire rest of their lives to destroy me and people like me, because people like me are a standing reproach to them. And that's what RFK Jr. is at this point in time. He is a standing reproach to the whole institution. So there's going to be doctors who are going to hate him. They're going to be bureaucrats who hate him. Liz Warren's going to hate him because honestly, this happened under Liz's watch. She was in a position to do something about it. Arguably, there watch she was in a position to do something about it arguably there's nobody more in a position to do something about it than a US

senator yeah and she didn't she didn't just stood aside and believed the wrong people and fell into this this social contagion this belief system this swamp this cult that asked you to do the most reprehensible thing you can do which is to harm your own child or harm the children of the nation abstractly because of your inaction as a senator. Which puts you in a moral position that Liz has to go forward. There is no backwards because to look backwards is to say, I'm the one who should resign. I'm the one who should apologize. I'm the one who should step down. That's where she should be. 100%. She should atone for that. Yep.

Amen. Helen Joyce just nailed that though. Isn't that just a perfect thing? Oh, so good. Well, I wanna go to... Roast of the Week. Oh, I'm so excited about this. Roast of the Week.

I'm gonna read this one out, cause this one's fun. Yeah, you should. Cause this is sort of in my... So, Roast of the Week, new special thing. Kevin Hall says here, just tweeted yesterday, he he said after 21 years at my dream job I'm very sad to announce my early retirement from the NIH my life's work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat and how what we eat affects our physiology lately I've focused on unraveling the

reasons why diets high in ultra processed food are linked to epidemic proportions of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Our research leads the world on this topic. Well, you do have a target rich environment to choose from. You said given recent bipartisan goals to prevent diet related chronic diseases, I had hoped to expand our research program with ambitious plans to more rapidly and efficiently determine how our food is making Americans chronically sick. Unfortunately, recent events have made me question whether the NIH continues to be a

place where I can freely conduct unbiased science. Specifically, in a vague way. I'm going to tell you, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency's leadership about ultra processed food addiction. Kevin, 21 years. Let's take a quick peek at your track record.

Oh, great job, Kevin. Obesity went during your time in there researching your food from 30% to 42%. You really killed it. And I mean that. Okay. He carries on, he's like, I was hoping this was an aberration. So weeks ago, weeks ago, I wrote to my agency's leadership, expressing my concerns and requested time to discuss these issues. But I never received a response. So I felt compelled to accept early retirement. Froze is keys in his badge on the table and takes a picture. Little performative lefty.

Me. OK. All right. Martinson, that's me. I'm not buying it. I said, Kevin, so after decades of overseeing the most precipitous decline in public health, you were just about to actually make progress? I guess I'm not buying it. How about this one, Evie? Evie So in a non-political way, excuse me, you've made a post that has everything to do with your own political disagreements with others, but in an attempt to insulate yourself from being called out on your own politics, you've made the post passive aggressive and you signal

your own virtue. Got it. Yay! How about this one? American-Americans are the most obese, illness-riddled, and mentally unstable than ever before since America has been a thing. Saying you've been doing this for 21 years isn't a flex. Is not a flex.

Is not a flex. But then Mark Peterson said, all you had to do, Kevin, is look at all the fat kids eating nothing but ultra-processed foods to correlate the health risks of our food industry. Unfortunately, the NIH and a lot of other health NGOs took money from the food industry to say that lucky charms were healthier than beef. No lie, they did. And taking sodas out of snap is racist. Like not having plain loads of infected people fly out of China was racist. Is that the government you would eventually like to go back to? Yeah, it was. We had this

golden era and it all got wrecked because now now we actually have to not just take money from the food and drug industries to poison kids, which was fun. That's what we liked. Liz Warren agrees. It was awesome. That's where we were. It was great. And you guys are wrecking all that. Evie, this is the most astonishing thing to me is this in response to that last tweet from Mark Peterson. Right, right. Spoken like a true, well, Freddie says to Mark, spoken like a true brainwashed ignoramus. You had it all figured out all along. No education, expertise,

or government funding necessary. The world is a very simple place to folks like you. You are MAGA in a nutshell. So I ask, how do these people make it through life without having any ability to observe the world around them? All you have to do is go to the airport. All you have to do is go to the airport and look around and go, this isn't good. Something is happening here. We have a metabolic problem. We do. A metabolic disaster, as you say. People getting wheeled about in mobility scooters like we're on, you know, the spaceship at

Wally World. No, it's crazy. Before we get on a plane sometimes when Chris and I fly, like, there's like 10 people that need to pre-board because they're just either large or like unable to physically. It's nuts. It's nuts. It's just, it's just, it's just not It's it's it notes. It's just it's just it's not good. Look at that. No education, expertise or government funding necessary for you. Mega nutshell. This is the appeal to authority. These people live in a crazy

world where they can't notice for themselves how many children are now damaged and how many adults are now morbidly obese or suffering from a metabolic syndrome, right, which is why the Independent Medical Alliance is busy. One of its four pillars now is to help combat chronic disease and that's what RFK jr. is going to talk about is chronic disease is a big plank and we're gonna try and fix autism. It all begins with our food and this is obvious and people who go to Europe and eat food and don't suffer ill effects actually go to Europe and eat pasta and lose weight, but something bad happens when you come here, we in America have been poisoning ourselves and that's

evil. Something very bad has been happening. But to Freddie, like, how dare you? That an expert didn't tell you, you could think that that's not allowed. And, and by the way, for Kevin, I think it must be just total coincidence while he was spinning his scientific wheels doing dick all. This happened. This is spending on metabolic disorder therapeutics market. Oh my goodness.

And the projected spending? In billions. It just goes up and up and up and up and up. Up and up and up and up. Oh, and you know that that's making somebody rich right there. Yeah. I am like. Yeah.

Joe Potter, you're right. Living large. Yeah. And also get that garden growing. Amen to that. And funky wanderer says as a Canadian, we have some fat people. I got it. There we go. Thank you. We have some fat people, but nothing like the fat you see in America. I know it's special kind of special kind of poisoning we're doing to ourselves down here. by the way yay, Kevin good job big guy Roast of the week so Terrible there you go. I like that if you anyone listening has an idea of somebody that you think deserves a roast, please Put it in the comments. We will be happy to research that person and put it into one of our following signal hours. Maybe

we do two roasts a week. We could do we could do a roast a day. But I'm going to say this, Kevin, if you're listening, and I hope you are, if you now that you're out in the private sector, you're going to find that the private sector doesn't tend to reward comprehensive failure like this. You're gonna have to find a different way to express yourself out here in the world of private sector because we need results, right? You did bad, you screwed up, you might have been doing good research but somehow you're ineffectual and communicating that appropriately within your own organization to the point that

it led to policy changes. Now we're finally getting those policy changes and you quit in a huff that makes you loser of the week just want to put it out there oh hey by the way all right this is fun here a US senator from Maryland goes to El Salvador we got to talk about this this is crazy this is a great story because I think this also encapsulates encapsulates what we've been talking about Senator Chris Van Hollen us senator For Maryland. Yeah, and and he's got a sign these like bands off our bodies I'm not okay, whatever so, you know, he's virtue signaling abortion access So right off of his own Twitter feed, you don't have to read this because we're gonna actually watch that video that this post

I just wanted to show you this wasn't somebody dunking on him. He did this to himself. Okay, this is a self dunk. So he I go to his Twitter feed and we find this. I just landed at the airport in San Salvador a little while ago. I'm now on route into the city looking forward to meeting with the team from the American Embassy. And I do want to thank our Foreign Service officers and the whole team at this embassy and embassies around the world for all the good work they do on behalf of our country. I'm proud to co-chair the bipartisan Foreign Service Caucus that stands up for the men

and women who are serving our country overseas and at home in the State Department. After that, I hope to meet with some high-level government officials from El Salvador. As I've said before, the goal of my visit is to talk to people here about the release of Kilmar Agrego Garcia. I told his wife and his family I would do everything possible to bring him home and we're gonna keep working at this until we're successful. I also hope to have the chance to meet with him but we'll have a better idea

if that works out a little later on. I just landed at the- Wait, what? Okay. Can you give me, for anybody that isn't aware of that. For everybody who, you may have to adjust your volume. I just found out I had a system setting that was low, so everything might sound a little louder. So ear alert, but I got it fixed. This is going to be the new volume going forward. So oops. Should have checked. So, so, so yeah, he's. Yeah, for anybody that doesn't know the story. Okay, we're going to go into the story. We're going to go into the story.

Okay, we're gonna go into the story. Yes, we're gonna go into the story Okay, so Yeah, so it turns out All right We're talking about this guy this mr. Abrego Garcia, right? And so I'm gonna tell you more about who he is, but it turns out this is the gentleman who was Just picked up and flown home, right. He's here illegally in the country. He had two judges review his case and they both said, out, buddy.

Off you go. Was this the one that was in a gang? And he's in a gang. Potentially the MS-13 gang. We'll talk about that in a second because that seems to be true as well. But this guy is fighting hard for him. So look at how he's fighting.

Go ahead. We were just denied entry into Seacat, the notorious prison in El Salvador, where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason to check on his wellbeing, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won't stop fighting. We won't stop fighting. And I said heck of a wellness check there Chrissy because that was

At the time back under Katrina George W Bush the lesser said heck of a job there Brownie Because the FEMA guy like 12 days later people are dying on bridges and in Superdome's and he was like heck of a job there Brownie, so yeah heck of a wellness check there Chrissy By the way, Evie I heard he did get access to the prison and, um, he came out of changed man. All right. All right. So he meets with this guy and I'm going to tell you more about who this guy is in a second. This is actually retweeted by the president of El Salvador, Bukele. And he notes who's standing straight and who's leaning in.

So, Evie, we're going to play a game of who's the beta male in this pic. Who's the beta male in this picture? No, look at him. It's so pathetic. I'd say the guy on the left. Look at him leaning in there. Wow.

That's OK. All right. I don't quite understand what his motivations here are. Is it just Down the left right? Well, look look what he said. He said my main goal my main I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmer Kilmar tonight. I had that chance. I've called his wife Jennifer to pass along his message of love I look forward to providing a full update upon my return. But once again, I took the opportunity to give this the buccelli treatment Yes, I think we're seeing a pattern here Yes, he looks well fed

Yes And later there's another picture from this later. They're having margaritas So a US senator has decided This is the person we're gonna make a cause celebra out of right and this is somebody that That the left has decided this is it we're gonna wrap our our case around this gentleman This is the person who we have to really lean into So to speak. Wow.

Oh by the way, um, Evie, I'm not sure that his wife Jennifer is going to be all that excited to see his message of love coming home. Because, turns out, she filed, she has a restraining order against the guy.

What? Jennifer Vasquez obtained a court protective order against the guy. What? Jennifer Vasquez obtained a court protective order against her husband due to domestic violence in 2021. She filed for a protective order due to domestic violence from her husband and a final order was issued on June 17, 2021 by Prince George's County District Court Judge LaKeisha Allen. Wow. All right. Wow. All right.

Okay. So there it is. It's a true thing. I found the actual filing. Wow. So you got that. That's no joke, actually. It takes a lot to get that.

It does. You have to be... No, protective orders are tricky to come by. How about a morality check on this guy? When an illegal immigrant from El Salvador brutally murdered a young mother from his state of Maryland, Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen issued a short statement blaming Republicans and moved on. That's it.

When an illegal immigrant from El Salvador gets deported, Van Hollen is willing to go to El Salvador to bring him back. This is the Democrat Party right now. It is. It is. That is that's where we're at. And by the way, this is the more in cases is horrifying. Brutally murdered, she was stuffed in a drainage ditch. Young mother of five children, that's the grandmother left to pick up the pieces.

And it wasn't the same illegal immigrant, but but it was right. Correct. But it wasn't illegal immigrant from El Salvador. So it's close-ish right. Wasn't the same guy. Is this something you're gonna play? No. Oh okay. No it's too just it's just it's just it's on this it's it's disturbing. How about a decency check though? Okay. Chris Van Hollen was Rachel Moran's senator. Yep so a senator from that state. That's correct. She was a mother of five in Maryland, Chris's state. Her family still lives there. She was raped and murdered by an MS-13 member and he has never tweeted her name.

Nope. Chris Van Hollen, not interested in the case, just not interested. That's really sad. But shame on you. But you know, Chris Van Hollen. Well, absolutely. But this is this is the state of the party and by the way you know they go oh but he said look at

this Diego look at this Garcia guy he's a family man what a nice picture there he's got a soft look at him wait a minute you see those tats on his hand let's take a let's dial in on those mean um marijuana what do those mean? Marijuana. So it's an M. It's the marijuana leaf on the right index finger. And then it's the sonrisa, the smiley face. The gap begins with an S, so marijuana begins with an M. M-S. A cross, the cross is symbol often used to represent a one. Okay, symbolizing unity, singularityity or just the number one and then Cal Calavera or the skull starts with C, which is also the third letter of that.

So that's the MS 13 gang tattoo. Remember that is yeah. And by the way, he also has a tattoo that only the senior leaders of MS 13 are allowed to have, which has the horns on it. And it's a different one. So he's actually yeah, so he's full on turns out he he's actually an MS-13 gang member and he's wearing the tattoos and when I showed that picture of him leaning in that's where that That picture if you look that's where that's a blow-up of his left hand right there Oh, okay is is these that picture these that one that's a blow-up of that's why it's a little grainy and all that

Okay. All right. All right. Okay. All right. So he's an MS-13 gang member. Okay. So what? So what? Okay. So what? Um, he's a wife beater. So okay. Okay. All right. Oh no. Oh goodness. Wow. Okay. But besides being an MS-13 leader, wife beater, human trafficker, why wouldn't we fight as hard as possible to return him to America? Why wouldn't we? Why wouldn't we fight as hard as possible to return him to America? Why wouldn't we? Why wouldn't we? So DHS confirms Kilmar Abrego Garcia was stopped by Tennessee Highway Patrol in 2022 for being involved in human trafficking. Democrats chose this guy is there all or nothing issue. Really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Human trafficking. Okay. So yeah, gross.

Just gross. I mean, this is a dumpster fire. It is. This is the dumpster fire. It is. This is the state of things. So but I think we have to back up and ask who turned the dials on the knobs to make people this crazy because you don't get this crazy all on your own right you don't flit seamlessly from me to to crazy men have to have access to little girls bathrooms and Genitalia need to be Exposed during reading hour, you know like when did it become about that right? So it's the funny thing. Here's the pattern

I'm seeing okay. They take the most extreme ridiculous thing. Hey, there's one guy Lives in some state somewhere who wants to drag queen and exposes genitalia reading to five-year-olds and he's attracted to minor children So we have to respect him. Mm-hmm respect his sexuality. Yeah, we have to yeah like what? What what you know, and here's this one case of this one person? But again, they wrap themselves around the most extreme stupid case possible like they could have found somebody I guarantee you Who was here on? You know so I went I when I went with Michael Yon and right and Kraut crew Panama to Panama Uh-huh, and I met people coming up through there, and I met some really awesome people so some really awesome people

We're just trying to get here to make a better life. You could have found one of them. That would have been nice. Right. Yep. But I guarantee you never ever ever would the Democrats have selected a God-fearing, upright, honest person to wrap their case around because that's not the point. The point is you have to make it about this really extreme weird bizarre thing because it tortures your whole moral landscape to try and have to make it about this really extreme weird bizarre thing because it tortures your whole moral landscape to try and have To make sense of this and that's the point right they don't want it to make sense Because we're in that

Matthias Desmet Madness the the mind virus the mind virus right the Mass formation as he calls it or the mass psychosis as we informally call it out here in the non-academic world. But it gains its power from its insanity, not from the sanity. So that's why we keep struggling. We're like, how does this make sense? And all those people like, wait, how are you against finding out why kids are turning autistic?

And it's mind boggling. But you have to understand the point isn't for it to make sense. The point is exactly for for it to make sense. The point is exactly for it not to make sense And they're doing that because they want it to be destructive to our society to our community. Yes to our minds Yes to our families. Yes, I mean They're they're here to destroy destruction that that's it We have to understand it for what it is and this is why it's a demolition I'm getting extremely concerned with Trump and team not having any arrests so far. Because you have to understand that these people that they are now up against, they

don't play fair. I understand that the, Oh, wait, Chris, you know, they're, they have to build cases. It's got to be done right. I'm all about doing it right. But there are so many examples I could give you right now off the tip of my tongue of people who have committed gross. Criminal violations that you could try. I could probably write up the, the, the affidavit arrest warrant on my own, just off the top of my head, right? We had John Brendan lying to Congress about things.

We have all those people who signed their names to say Hunter Biden's laptop was not real. We have FBI agents who lied on FISA warrants in order to spy on people who were praying or, you know, walking across lawns on a certain day. So we have all that. If you don't get these people out, they don't play fair. And my concern is that the minute Trump is out of power, boom, all those people who are playing fair, they're in jail instantly.

Because these people are nuts. That's what I've been trying to do with Evie here is to bring forward this idea that these people are actually nuts, insane. And we can't trust them to be in a leadership position. And they're gonna insist that we join them in their insanity and we're over going, no thanks, that looks unpleasant. That's really scary, yeah.

They're not gonna stop until you join. You're right, no. We have to recognize what it is at this point. We got to stand up together. That's we do. And we got to build our parallel structures. There's nothing else to do. Yeah. You got to plant a garden, too. Oh, and by the way, I want to do to highlight that one.

This one. OK, good. Hello, Dr. Martinson. We are watching from Japan. We only get to see you live occasionally. Thank you for all your work over the last five years. We are the political party since Tito. I don't know what's in say though. I would love I would love to hear more about that at some point in time. And by the way, I've been doing work for 20 years. So but glad you found me since five years and and it's you know what it is. It's just common sense. It's just it's common sense. I'm running for local

select board position here, the elections in a month. In our town. A couple weeks actually. And my tagline on the road signs is your common sense candidate because we got to bring common sense back. We really, we just do. That's right. They said Sanseido is the only political party that opposed the vaccine in Japan. I did not know that. Thank you for telling me. Your research helped us so much. I'm so glad to hear that. That's awesome. Yeah. That's really awesome. And Arctic Moose is got it here, too.

Until arrests are made and harsh punishments doled out. It's all just show. All just show. All it's all show. It's all show. It's all show So speaking of which though, um So I'm wondering this Evie Did the Trump administration this is dr. Bren Ben Braddock, excuse me Tweeting this did the Trump administration hold back information that kilmar abbrego Garcia was a wife beating MS 13 human trafficker, knowing that Democrats would rush to deify

him and then release the information make them look like psychos. Only if you were positive that they would rush to deify him, which they did. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty funny. Oh funny oh wait we're getting schooled in something this is so important to me yeah since AIDO since AIDO has five governors now and 90,000 registered voters wow that's really that's great glad glad to hear that guys glad to hear that um and but this is this is what's happening all over now

is people are starting to wake up and we are, the Common Sense Party is finally standing up again. I just heard in the UK, the Supreme Court finally ruled, I'm laughing because they had to rule on this, that women are those who have the XX chromosome pair. Right, Evie? You know that, right they finally ruled that and you know, of course JK

Rowland's like she's smoking a cigar and drinking a martini and and Helen Joyce who we just heard from is out there like You know, but like that we have to cheer that it's like oh we finally had a ruling the judges have confirmed that we're not insane You know, but the healing has begun. But here's the thing. Has it? The more we heal, the more crazy these people become. They literally, they don't have a reverse. They can't go back. They cannot look at what they've done. The people who pushed the jabs on everybody

committed mass murder. They did. Doctors who failed to notice that the safety insert was blank and recommended it to pregnant women anyway, who then lost their their fetuses are complicit in a very soul destroying activity. They shouldn't have done that. So dark. They should be held responsible. Yeah. So many people I think are need to be

I don't know hung. Yeah. Do we need to go back to that perhaps? I mean possibly possibly um oh but Evie so Can I can I just do a shameless plug please go shameless plug so peak prosperity? We've been doing this you saw from the sensato Party we've been we've been doing what we do for a long time, and I'm very good at it We're very good at it, and what we do is we just speak the truth as best we know it.

That's a little strong. I don't actually know what the truth is, but I've got an extraordinarily good BS detector. And if you know what BS is, you can exclude that and you chisel away at the marble and the statue starts to reveal itself, which was the Statue of Truth. So we've been just exposing the BS for a long time.

It gets us back to the truth a little bit. And what it does is it leads to my favorite thing is we get testimonials unsolicited all the time. I don't go out there and beg for them. People just give them to us, right? And yeah. Okay. From Ken D. So I want to be respectful of people's names. Oh yeah. We have anonymity back behind the paywall if you like it. Ken says, tying this doge effort to the gold movement is not something I would have thought of. Subscription paid for. The magnitude and audacity of doing that is almost beyond imagining. And Michael B says, I would like to thank you for your efforts and websites, YouTube accounts,

and peak prosperity. It's just pure genius. Thank you for helping everyone stay locked in. Your work is so valuable. I could go on, but just wanted to put a thank you in a nutshell. Thanks again, infinitely, sincerely, Michael. He's head of household, single father in Western Kentucky.

Thank you, Michael. Thanks for being with us. You know, Chris, it feels weird probably to say it, but you have really changed so many lives. You've altered the course of so many people's destinies. You've really dedicated your life in a way that I find incredibly inspiring and I'm honored to be beside you. Well thank you. I really am. That means the most coming from you. Inspire me. Well tell people how often am I working. This man never stops. It's a full-time job. Yeah.

I mean, it's, but it's because you care. You dedicate yourself and your life to trying to get the word out about what's true and what's real. And you want people to be able to do things that make their lives better, to make them more resilient and to get through these dark periods that we know are coming in the best way that they can. I know you want that. I feel it every day.

Well, I do. in the best way that they can. I know you want that and I feel it every day. Well, I do and as we round out this hour, I'm gonna do my one last shameless plug here, which is you really need to become a peak prosperity member if you're not considerate, but you should because I just do this all the time and I'm here. It's not just to provide information, but I provide the framing for the information.

So I won't just say something like, the CDO collateral swaps look bad or some wonky financial stuff. I will, but I'll the framing for the information. So I won't just say something like, the CDO collateral swaps look bad or some wonky financial stuff. I will, but I'll explain it too. And put it in context. Put it in context and it's really important. And by the way, for premium members, follow us back to peak prosperity

or if you're watching the peak prosperity, continue on because we've got to talk about the looming financial crisis. Something bad is coming. And oh my goodness, you won't believe what we're about to talk about with vaccine injuries that is still something I'm not sure I can talk about publicly so we're gonna have a private conversation first but it's it's exploding right now and it's it's talking and it's shocking so we'll do that and for everybody else nice and this all right please do

session please do so we'll end this public session with a poem love yes just kind of I don't know this is me reorienting myself after all of that horrifying news let's see I really appreciate this poem and it's called essentially the men the men who just wanted to be left alone. Hmm. I love this one. Yeah.

The most terrifying force of human history has always been the men who just wanted to be left alone. They are the ones who do not seek power control or to impose their will on others. They simply want to live their lives in peace, to be free, to make their own choices, to raise their families, and to be unmolested by those who claim authority over them. But when these men are pushed too far, when their patience is exhausted, when their simple desire for solitude is denied, they become something else entirely.

They become the force that topples tyrants, that breaks empires, that reshapes the world, because the men who just wanted to be left alone are not driven by ambition or ideology they are driven by the unshakable resolve to protect what is theirs and that resolve is a fire that no army no government no force on earth can extinguish. Hear hear just leave us alone. But they won't. And so now for the public side, adios amigos. Everybody else follow us back to peak prosperity and we'll just carry on there.

See you Wednesday. See everybody else Wednesday of next week.
