Episode Date: February 22, 2025

Tracy and Steve Slepcevic share their family’s journey with vaccine injury and what led them to create the Autism Health Summit. Jefferey Jaxen reports on the fallout from the bird flu response and how it’s impacting the food supply while also revisiting evidence of military involvement during COVID—could history be repeating itself? As RFK Jr. threatens Big Pharma’s grip on U.S. advertising, drug companies quietly shift their tactics to maintain influence. Finally, Dr. Thomas Lokensgard joins Del to discuss his book Matters of the Mouth, exposing the hidden dangers of modern dentistry and what’s required for true oral and overall health.Guests: Tracy and Steve Slepcevic, Thomas Lokensgard, DDS, NMDBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Have you noticed that this show doesn't have any commercials? I'm not selling you diapers or vitamins or smoothies or gasoline. That's because I don't want any corporate sponsors telling me what I can investigate or what I can say. Instead, you are our sponsors. This is a production by our nonprofit, the Informed Consent Action Network. So if you want more investigations, if you want landmark legal wins, If you want hard-hitting news, if you want the truth, go to I Can Decide.org and donate now. All right, everyone, we ready?

Yeah. Action. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are out there in the world, it's time to step out onto the high wire. Man, this wire has just got sunshine piling down on it right now. Of course, it's been an amazing week. If you were watching the show last week, I raced over after the vote came in, confirming Robert Kennedy Jr., as Secretary of Health and Human Services. I did the show, and then I had to leave it in Jeffrey's hands because I had to run over to the White House

to step inside of the Oval Office and watch Robert Kennedy Jr. get sworn in as HHS Secretary. I think for many of you, I am sure the feeling is as overwhelming as awe-inspired as the feeling that I've been carrying this week. I was just reflecting for days, but as I was flying back from Washington, D.C. to Austin and watching all of the news reports showing Robert Kennedy Jr. there swearing in and all the beautiful interviews he's doing right now. and watching this conversation that's unfolding now for the first time ever, mainstream news is having to discuss the safety of vaccines. Mainstream doctors are starting to come out and say they have real questions on mainstream news programs. And I just, you know, you can't help but think, you know, how did we get here? All of the work, you know, so many of you sharing.

you know, the high wire and vaxed where all of this starts. And those of you, all of the great other thought leaders that are out there, all the doctors have been speaking out long before I even got here. And really ultimately to Robert Kennedy Jr., who never backed down, always stood for the truth, stood for the parents, stood for the children. And, you know, I thought about it, you know, between you and I, sure, I was a part of helping him run for president of the United States, because I stood in the Oval Office.

I thought, I think this is even sweeter than President of the United States because someone could have said, well, I mean, he really got this job because of his foreign policy, maybe Ukraine or other issues. He's so well read. But at HHS, he is now the most powerful in the most powerful position in the world of health, across the world. HHS decides so much of what WHO is going to do or any of the other. regulatory agencies across the world. He stepped in in the most controversial space that he's been. And of course, all the lies and deceit from mainstream media and mainstream medicine about his positions. But of all the positions to hold, that one would have seemed to be the farthest out of reach. So in this moment, I mean, it's still sinking in on me, anything is possible. Definitely the United States of America, all dreams can come true. And we just watched, I think, for many of us, something that is beyond our wildest dream. Certainly in the 10 years or so that I've been at this, we have skyrocketed to a place that I think only God knew we were capable of. That moment in the Oval Office

looked like this. The United States spends more money in health than any other country on Earth, but we're growing sicker every year. We're not as healthy as countries. It's spend just a fraction of what we spend, so there's something wrong. He's going to figure it out. In recent decades, we've seen staggering increases in cancer rates across all age demographics, including more than 40 percent increase in childhood cancer since 1975. Who can believe that? And an explosion in other chronic childhood illnesses. Not long ago, one in 10,000 people, children had autism, now it's 1 in 36. Think of that. One in 10,000. One in 10,000. Now it's one in 36. Who can believe that there's something wrong? There's something wrong. And I think it's

something that can be found out. And that I will well and faithfully discharge. The duties of the office. The duties of the office. On which I am about to enter? On which I'm about to enter. So help me God. So help me God. Congratulations, Mr. Secretary. Robert Kennedy Jr. is now the highest level Kennedy since his father in the U.S. government, and of course, is now overseeing health. It depends on what network you're looking at, how they're taking this news, but it is huge news. And to watch President Trump there bringing up this issue of autism again, as he did the first time he ran for president, And the promise that he made all the way back then has finally come through Robert Kennedy Jr.

And him working together. I wanted to talk to some great friends of the High Wire and ICan and Maha and all the work that we're doing. These friends that have an autistic child themselves and just get a sense of what this moment is like for many of the parents that are out there. So I'm joined now by Tracy Slepsivik, Steve Slepsivig. Now, of course, Steve, we've had you on the show. strategic response partners, you're dropping in into all these disaster areas, whether it's Maui or North Carolina, I want to thank you for all that work. And Tracy, you've been running the Autism Health Summit. We've had you on talking about that and also being a warrior mom, your book. But

we've never seen the two of you together, I don't think, on the stage. So it's great to have you here representing the whole family. And that's my question. You, you yourselves have a son that was diagnosed with autism. What was that moment like? watching Robert Kennedy Jr. sworn in as HHS secretary for, you know, parents like yourselves that have a child with autism. So I personally feel healthier already. I'm ready to dive in. But no, it's been a long time coming.

And what I love about it is Bobby was that man who was there at the Capitol with you as well, fighting alongside us parents for the rights for us to choose, whether or not that we wanted to vaccinate our child. So we've watched our children, a lot of us, thousands of families all over the world, have watched our children regress into a state of autism after a routine well-baby visit with a vaccine injury. And nobody would listen to us.

Pediatricians just telling us that it was all normal and all this is okay. And it's just a little allergic reaction, right? you know, your kid regressing and losing all their skills and speech and motor skills. And how is that? It's just an allergic reaction. So to me, this is big for so many families. And then also it's even bigger that, you know, we can clean up our food industry and what goes into our food,

in the preservatives and everything else because it's not only autism, it's chronic diseases across the board. Obesity is plaguing our children as well. So it's a number of things. So to me, this is a beautiful moment. And I'm super excited. And there's only so much good to come. Yeah. Steve, you know, this is really, it's been a warrior moms movement. I mean, we're not here without the warrior moms. In some ways, you were at a lot of those events where there's very few men in the beginning talking about this. You were there, Robert Kennedy Jr. That movement has obviously changed. A lot of the families that aren't vaccinated were listening to people like you saying, hey, I don't want to go through that. But for you watching, I mean, and watching Bobby getting grilled in those hearings, you know, the attacks and what was it experienced like?

Yeah, so as parents, we dealt with this for 17 plus years. We were the ones that were. called the anti-vaxxers, but yet we were the pro-vaxxers until our son or child got injured. And the attacks just were relentless. So I felt were Bobby's pain and a lot of pain that other parents had gone through that our voices were not being heard. This is the first time with this legacy type cabinet, this team of experts that Trump has empowered Bobby and other experts in his cabinet to really kind of pull back the curtain, right? To take the real experts, to take a look at it. And you know what a weaner pig is? No. Okay. It's a little pig that is, you know, on its bombs, you know, like the big pig. So when you're trying to take the pig to wean them off the

milk, you know what they sound like? Wee, wee, wee, we, okay, that is what you're going to hear. And what I'm telling you about that is because they're, they've been on the milk. Right, right. Right. It's really hard, and they start to squeal. And if you're around that, it's a very loud, shrieking kind of sound. Yeah. So is that the sound I've been hearing in Washington DC. Yeah, that's a sound you've been here in Washington. So what I always say is as they get louder, pay attention. Either they're going to resign because they got something to hide.

Yeah. Or they're going to get really loud because there's something to hide. Yeah. So if you're afraid of the truth, that's how you're going to respond. Right. This is a moment of truth. So seeing Bobby get confirmed, have a permigrin every day is Christmas. And I feel, I speak for the rest of the pro-health.

The pro-health movement. We are tired of the lies. We're tired of the corruption, and we're tired of the bias that has infiltrated our government, industries, everything else. And as parents, and those that are about pro-health, all we want is the truth because, based on results, right? Yeah. He's speaking now for all vaccine injured people, not just those with childhood vaccines,

but the COVID vaccine, the HPV. These are all things that deserve to be looked at. Why are you afraid of it? Why are you afraid to be looked at all these industries? All of it, right? So this is the time. It's a legacy time. It's a moment in history.

And I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be happier. And I tell you, there's a massive groundswell that's supporting the Maha movement. The change in America has already started. And I'm excited every day in the morning. Hit the ground running. How can I be in service? Let's go.

Well, speaking of weiner pigs, one of the biggest weiner pigs screamed out. He had posted this. This is from Paul Offutt, who has made the rotavirus vaccine, has been a big proponent of vaccinations. No group has been hurt more by anti-vaccine activists than children with autism. Anti-vaccine activism hurts children with autism. He's obviously upset there talking about the fact that Trump is posting about this talk about autism, I'm saying we're going to get to the bottom of this conversation. And you know what I find interesting about that post is exactly what you just said.

He's not saying, you know, as President Trump, when, when, you know, having Kennedy sworn in, he's not, you know, he says one in 10,000 now, one in 36. Paul Offutt's not explaining why that rise. He's not bringing science to the table. He's not, you know, saying this has been misunderstood. he's going for an emotional play. Like, now you're against autism, and those with autism, you're hurting autism. I mean, you couldn't be less scientific if you wanted to.

And to me, it is, it's screaming now. They're screaming because they don't have anything left. They can't point to actual science. They can't explain why we've had this rise, and they can't figure out what it is. So there's a lot going on there. But for parents with autism, this is an argument we deal with, which is we should be accepting autism. We should be celebrating autism.

How do we find ourselves in this world? How should Kennedy find himself in a statement like that? These kids, they are very vulnerable at a young age. But to turn them around to address those underlying conditions, this is what I say, address those underlying conditions to get them to a fully functioning state. I didn't cure my kid. I didn't change my kid.

My kid is fully functioning at the age of 19. He's working. He drives. He takes care of himself. He travels all on his own. He's about to go to Japan for three weeks with his friends by himself. And he did that because I addressed those underlying conditions. Because you have a combination of, yes, some pre-genetic dispositions, as you know, like MTHFR,

mitochondrial disorder, all those things that contribute to, you know, You know, you add those environmental toxins to it, and it triggers that gene, and those children are more susceptible to vaccine injury, to regression into a state of autism. And there are published studies on this. You know, Steve, one of the things that I struggle with is, you know, this spectrum is so wide, right? I mean, when we talk about it, I think what Paul Offutt is referencing is children like yours that did, you know, pull through, managed to get to college. you know but as you well know there is also this autism of nonverbal those that are self-harming having just I mean and those parents struggle every single day and Paul Offit is saying to try and if we could stop it if we found what was causing that I

mean this is what's amazing we now know anybody with any blood moving to their brain knows that there's an environmental you know issue going on here that there may be a genetic vulnerability, as you well pointed out, but if you could stop it, how can you say we shouldn't? You know, or if you, you know, so it's such a, such an interesting problem. Yeah, I love when people like that just run their mouth. The difference is you're talking to a mom whose background is from the Air Force by our environmental engineering, whose life is about finding the root cause.

He's talking to a father who, my entire life, environmental, testing, remediation, from toxic wildfires to massive hurricane, storms, flooding, testing everything, right, from doing hospital protocols and cleaning and remediation. Here's somebody who's going to argue with somebody who, when their son got vaccine injured, it became our world every single day to be at all the conferences, research all the books, and not me. I wish she would disappear months at a time every day in the books, right? It's like that was her whole world was, I'm going to find the root cause, right? As an expert witness, what is the causation that caused this building to collapse? Where was the fail point? Right? So these are all things that are in our world

is real. So when someone goes off like that, I'm like, you know what? You don't live in the world. You're disconnected and your posts are not going to age very well when the science, the real science, comes out. And I think, I feel it's going to come out really quickly because Bobby's putting together the best team of experts, the best scientists, and that are not biased, they're not bought and paid and collected and so on and so forth, don't have any special interest, and the truth is going to come out. But that's what's happening in this administration. So it's an exciting time, and it's time that everybody really in the world roll up their sleeve.

Roll up the sleeve, the time to work is now. So the voices that are out there trying to be loud, they're going to get loud. ignore them. Those are sideline issues. Just keep pushing forward. Set your clear intention and don't deviate from it because, you know, for us that have dealt with it for a long time, we don't hear any of that noise. I mean, the conversation is changing. Of course, I think there's going to be now a tidal wave. I mean, I've had people come up to me and say, I really, I have a child with autism, I didn't make that connection. I'm looking back. I was looking at their records. I see, you know, where am I at or someone is saying, you know, what do I do?

So that's really what the Autism Health Summit is all about. So just tell me, when is it, who all is invited, where is it? What, you know, because I think there's so many people that are now clamoring for this information. So it is in Sunny San Diego. Okay, nice. April 11th and 12th. The 13th is just a half day with vendors. But we have some amazing speakers such as yourself.

We have Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Dr. Brian Hooker. This year we have Dr. Morihan Hintry talking about Lyme disease in autism. We have Dr. Nick Jasani, who's actually coming out to talk about mesenchymal stem cell therapy. We have Dr. Mike Chan flying in from Malaysia to talk about regenerative medicine. Dr. Sabine Hazan talking about fecal transplants. I mean, it's, we're talking about energy medicine. We have functional medicine doctors talking about how to be.

doctors talking about how to address those underlying conditions. So this is really about education, about community, about being able to be there. Last year, one of the doctors said, you know, I got a little bit of prayer and worship in the morning, got a lot of education and got some great entertainment, right? So we have the Swell family coming back out from London to sing again. Right. It's a great event. It's a great networking event. And we also do provide continuing medical education credits for doctors and nurses and I think some therapists. So it's, you know, everyone's welcome. All right.

Well, you guys are, you know, just amazing humans, amazing Americans. I mean, doesn't it feel like America's light is turning back on, the flame has been lit? It's so exciting. Thank you for all the brilliant work that you're doing. Tracy and Steve. Thank you for everything. You know, just love that, love all the support you brought to ICANN, the high wire, and love all that you're doing.

So keep up the good work. And then one last note, like I said, it is supported by a nonprofit organization. So for those people out there who cannot attend but still want to support, being able to help support and pay for those parents to be able to attend in those scholarships, if they could just go to Autismhealth.com. Let's bring that up right now. And autismhealth.com is where they can do it. donate? Yes. Okay.

So if they go to autismhealth.com, they can donate. They can, you know, typically a scholarship is around $250. Okay. And that pays for all their food, all their education. Beyond that, once we get more established, then we can start paying for their travel and their accommodations. All right. Awesome. Well, if you want to know what the Autism Health sub is all about, take a look at this.

So my dream for probably a good 10 years or so has been to run an autism event. event to really educate those parents on addressing those underlying conditions associated with autism and truly truly hearing from the best speakers that there are on the planet Dale Bigtree Dr. Peter McCullough Dr. Sabine Hazan Dr. Brian Hooker Dr. Joshua Wapurka, Dr. Richard Bulls, Dr. Mariah Hinchie, Jeff Sewell, and daughter Sienna and Olivia, the Spellers community, and Don Marie Gaven, and all these amazing doctors, scientists, and parents on how to address the underlying biological conditions associated with autism and other neurological disorders. When I started this journey, I felt alone.

But we come together. We come together to unite, and that is the most important thing. What is it that you choose to create in your life? This is a one-of-a-kind experience you will not want to do this. There's a lot of bad stuff that's happening. And what is almost invisible to the eye is the good stuff that's happening. And I believe we're heading towards a wellness that we've not experienced in many, many decades or generations. It's important though, regardless of what kind of power we think we hold or don't hold,

that we understand that it's imperative that we all step forward. We need to research. We need to find out because the people are watching this probably think, me alone can't save the world. But if we get a community, if we get a group, we can really affect the world. Beautiful event, beautiful people. and I spoke at the last autism health conference was fantastic. I'm looking forward to being there so I can meet all of you when you show up there in San Diego.

So I'll see you all there. Coming up later in the show, I think one of the most important conversations you almost never have, which is how much is the health of your mouth affecting your entire body? Did you realize that heart attacks, some heart attacks, the risk is increased by your dental health? We have a new book we're releasing from ICAN Press called Matters of the Mouth, and the author Tom Lokensgaard, who is my dentist, that removed all the mercury in my mouth. I was so excited to get to work with him on this book. We're going to be talking about just some of the issues that has found in that book that's coming right up.

But first, it's time for The Jackson Report. Jeffrey, I, you know, I didn't get a chance to see you after I, you know, ran away from the desk. It was kind of messy. People, I think there's like a black out there for a moment. My wires were all tied up. But how at the end of the show go? I want to thank you for jumping in last minute like that to sort of close out the show. Yeah, absolutely. After that puff of dust cleared from you exiting the room at warp speed, it was really great. We cover some really great stuff. I mean, these are the new cycle is moving so fast right now. And the information is so big. And these stories are so gigantic that just trying to cover them is, I feel like an octopus, just trying to grab these things with catchers mitts. But the momentum is continuing. And right from when Kennedy was sworn in till now, we have a lot of momentum going on. And the moment he was sworn in, we had the Louisiana Health Department.

They released this. This is actually a CNN headline. Louisiana Department of Health says it will no longer promote mass vaccination. This is all vaccines, not just COVID. It says in this article, the state of Louisiana and LDH have historically promoted vaccines for vaccine-friendly illnesses through our parish health units, community health fairs, partnerships and media campaigns, Abram, as Ralph Abram, he's the Surgeon General, wrote in a memo addressed to LDH, team members and obtained by CNN. He went on to say, while we encourage each patient to discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination

with their provider, LDH will no longer promote mass vaccination. That's a huge development for a couple of reasons. One, because they talk about the risks and the benefits of vaccination. That was a conversation that was never had by health departments. The risks were not, they didn't talk about it. They also talked about encouraging the patient to talk to their doctor. So they're pushing the people back into the doctor-patient relationship. Another huge thing from a public health department standpoint.

Wow. I mean, it's really amazing and in some ways so important, right? And someone will scream, oh, my God, Louisiana's gone, you know, antivax. No, it's pro-science. All they're saying is they're bringing. bringing back and formed consent. We are going to let you know, we're telling doctors, tell them all the benefits, all of the risks, and then let them make a decision, which is the only intelligent thing any government should

do once you know, once you recognize that there are children that will be killed by a vaccine this year, that will be severely injured, how does a state have an ethical, like in its ethics, allow for themselves to kill or injure any innocent child. I mean, it's something that we're going to get deeper into, and I am going to continue the pressure. We've got to continue the pressure on this conversation while it's opening up, because we have to be realistic. This is just another product.

It has side effects. And that's all I've been saying for years, but boy, is it a different conversation now that I keep saying we're no longer the fringe. I mean, our perspective is now sitting in HHS secretary and with HHS, which is the most powerful health department in the world. And you can see the public conversations moving through this greater good idea that was put on everybody for vaccination for so long. We're moving into the nuance of this conversation,

which is where lives are really saved, and science is really, the discussion around science really is had. And one of the things that also happened last week is President Trump ran on the idea of eliminating mandates, COVID vaccine mandates. The pandemic is long over. It's not any type of issue for children. and especially college students, which still have these mandates in place.

So he has now barred federal funding to schools. This is an executive order with COVID vaccine mandates. That was a headline that was put up there. So this doesn't affect staff. So that's a separate conversation. But for kids going to schools, universities, federal funding will be cut if these mandates are still in place. And there are still colleges with these mandates still in place.

So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out, because it's not kind of like a one-stop shop. like a one-stop shop that's all gone now. So there's some colleges that are trying to fight this. And we'll see how that goes. But, you know, having the administration behind this idea seems like a good thing. And one of the other things that is, I mean, there's going to be so many of these subjects and these hot button topics that are just going to be rifling through the headlines. One of them is this, RFK Jr.'s controversial plan to ban TV drug ads sparks heated debate. So the United States and New Zealand are the only two countries that have direct-to-consumer,

pharmaceutical ad marketing so when you turn on your TV station Fox you're watching the news and they cut to commercial and they have pharmaceutical ads that's what pays for those media organizations so four billion dollars annually is paying for those television advertising so that's what we're seeing and Kennedy's Kennedy one of his one of his ideas when he came in was to look at this and possibly eliminate it which would be a revolutionary act in and of itself and so with that as a backdrop if anybody was watching the Super Bowl they may have seen this commercial. Obesity is America's deadliest epidemic.

74% of us are over weed, and obesity leads to half a million deaths each year. Why, you just have to stop eating, Jimmy. Something's broken, and it's not our bodies. It's the system. Welcome to weight loss in America. A $160 billion industry that feeds on our failure. There are medications that work,

but they're price for profits, not patients. This system wasn't built to help us. It was built to keep us sick and stuck. But not anymore. Hems and HERS offers life-changing weight loss medications. They're affordable, doctor-trusted, and formulated in the USA. You get a treatment plan designed by a doctor to fit your body, goals, and lifestyle. You deserve to feel great in your body.

This is the future of health care. This is Hems and HERS. Join us in the fight for a healthy, America. All right. So let's break that down. Trendy ad there. Talk about a bait and switch. You're like, yeah, what? Join us. We're going to fight the system because they're making billions off our back. And, you know, we're going to show pictures of fruit loops because that's what people are really raging against. And we're going to be on the side of the people. And we're going to also help you lose weight. And we're going to do it the way

the people do it. So this is a new company here. And you can go to this company. I went through and I followed some of their prompts saying I needed to lose some weight and what did they give me? Well, here's their weight loss solutions. They have a lot of other issues that they can help people with. But here's some screenshots. So here it's basically an app to track you when you take injectable drugs for weight loss and pharmaceutical medication. And that's what we're looking at here.

So here's one of the screenshots for the HIMS. And you can see a big vial of injectable semi-glutide compound there. And so Zimpic. And then I went through and this is what it gave me for one of my solutions for weight loss for a program. So they didn't give me an injectable medication, but they gave me these drugs, bupropion, that's wellbutrin. That's an antidepressant for weight loss, I guess, off market, off label. And then Metaphorum, it's a type 2 diabetes medication. Then at the end, they're topamax.

It's for seizures and migraines. And then it's a B12 to top it off. So this is basically just straight up pharmaceutical drugs and injectable weight loss. drugs with a cute app and a catchy tune and some really slick advertising. So this is this is like a new hybrid and they're coming from a compounding pharmacy. And that's a subject we're going to get into in a second. But it's like a hybrid of now pharmaceutical marketing because now it's just like you can see how this is marketed towards like the younger users who are on their apps, who use their phone with a lot of things. Yeah. This is very slick and very tedious. It's totally

deceptive because right, it uses all of, you know, Icans talking points, the Maha talking points, the fruit loops, the bad food, the diet, and $650 billion industry pumping drugs on us. So you know what the answer is? Drugs just through our website, right? Telemedicine drugs. You can get it easier, cheaper, faster, and drug yourself. And our app will help you drug yourself. I mean, it's really amazing. Even the colors, like green for like green, healthy, leafy vegetables. We're not to tell you to eat vegetables. We're not going to tell you to change your lifestyle at all. We're just going to give you quick access to more drugs. And this is what we've got to watch out for, right? It's just sort of the takeover, you know, they're sort of in the, if you can't beat them,

join them, right? They didn't beat us. We got Robert Kennedy Jr. all the way into HHS secretary. So now let's just act like we're like chummy with all of them. Yeah, we're into the same things, too. Want a drug? Want an injection? I got something for you. All right. Amazing. You know, very deceptive. Yeah, and these injectable weight loss drugs, it's almost every week that we find out a new side effect from these. And people are taking them like candy now. It's one of the most popular drugs of all time. And here's another one. This one just came out.

More Americans on OZimic go blind as doctors sound alarm over potentially startling side effect. So this is this week's side effect. And these are happening with people only after a couple days of taking this drug. And this is in the scientific literature. This can happen as well. You can add that to stomach issues, suicidal thoughts. I mean, there's a huge laundry list of issues taking these injectic. drugs and they're long term they're their long term they're not short-term solutions so there's no study

showing how when you take these for long-term what they're doing and so a big problem there but let's go back to that company because they're compounding pharmacy and so the the FDA even put out its own release a warning if you will concerns with unapproved glp1 drugs used for weight loss and it goes on to say fda has received reports of adverse events related to compounded versions of semi-glutide and terrazepatide. However, federal law does not require state licensed pharmacies that are not outsourcing facilities to submit adverse events to FDA. So it is likely that adverse events from compounded versions of these drugs are underreported. So great, another reporting system that can't do its job and is under reporting side effects. So basically they're saying that compounding

pharmacy that you're getting those drugs from, if there's an issue, you call them and say, I'm having this really bad side effect and tens of hundreds of people. are saying that, there's no promise that goes to the FDA. There's no promise that's counted. There's no promise that's alerted to the drug companies. It just kind of just folded under and underreported. And that goes on to say even further, looking at these compounding pharmacies and these medications they're doing, they're asking if they're legal and FDA approved. And this article, as it goes on to say this, are compounded medications FDA approved? It says no, since compounded drugs are made on a case-by-case basis to meet the needs of individual patients and they involve non-standard ingredients,

dosages, and forms. They are not FDA-approved. Unlike FDA-approved medications, compounded drugs do not undergo the same strict testing for safety, efficacy, and quality before they become available to patients. So here we go. We have underreporting of side effects, not mandated, and we have basically no gold standard, I guess, of efficacy, safety, the FDA, which we know it's not. But we don't even have that bare minimum for the state. Yeah. I'm torn on this one, Jeff. I'm going to throw a little monkey wrench into the perspective here because one thing we know is those compounding pharmacies were the only ones that provided hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin for many places across the country. So when the FDA basically tried to block the use of repurposing of these very safe drugs like hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, all the major pharmacies backed out. So I want to, you know, even though I think we're pointing out a good point here about these compounding pharmacies,

save the day, at least for those that could get access to them during COVID. I also always find it ironic when the FDA cries foul over a drug they don't control. I think what you're seeing there is really the pharmaceutical industries reaching out, you know, and putting their thumb on the FDA saying, don't we control you? Stop these guys that are making our product and we're not getting paid for it. I think that's a huge part of what's happening here. And then for the FDA to say, and we just can't track it as though they're tracking systems, they'd be the first one to say that verres and all the tracking systems they have aren't dependable. So it's, it's, you know, these are those things that I think, you know, we've got to look at both ways. Sure. Is the

quality control standards there in a compounding pharmacy? I don't know. Also, though, I get to choose. Is this pharmacy work for me and my family and have they provided good products? I mean, we as consumers get to make those decisions. But it does point out the most important part you point out is how many of these drugs, and are there drug companies that are pushing, you know, compound pharmacies to push it out that way so that they don't have to report the side effects? So, I mean, these are the complicated issues when you think of being HHS secretary, people like, Del, you should get into government. I don't want to go anywhere near that. There's no easy answers in any of this. It's very complicated.

Yeah. And you notice, too, they're stacking drugs with this particular company. They're stacking two and three and four drugs and injectables. and there's really no studies to show the safety effects of doing that many stacked drugs upon that. But you're right, the freedom of choice, informed consent, and also our ability to have this conversation. And that brings us into the next section, which is freedom of speech. Last week I started to touch on this, but it's really broke into runaway speeds at this point. So there's a global fight right now.

There's two factions forming for pro-speech and anti-speech, speech censorship, or basically the free the ability for people to speak anything they want no matter what their government thinks. And right now in Germany, they are going to the opposite side of that coin. They are the country of censorship, and they are also heading out this kind of coalition with the UK, their Online Safety Act, also Australia, is in there fighting for speech. But we have Germany, they have a political party, which is AFD, that's an alternative for Germany. And this political party is really surging in the polls. And on February 23rd will be the election. So this is the headline out of Politico. Germany's far right AFD is soaring. Can

a ban stop it? So there's actually a legitimate conversation if this can be, if this party can be banned in Germany. But that's not all because the party talks about things that a lot of the government doesn't like there, like ending the Ukraine war or maybe slowing down immigration and basically things that are conversations in almost every country. And And Germany also is pushing these ideas towards X. This is a conversation that was put out by X, the community standards. It says Germany submits the highest number of legal demands for user data to X within the European Union, with 87% of these requests targeting speech-related offenses.

And then it goes on to say that X believes these are not legal demands. They will not do that. It's, you know, it is an overreach. But let's take a look at really on the ground what Germany is like. This is a 60 minutes, this is going around everywhere, it went viral. This is a 60 minutes broadcast that was just aired out of Germany. Take a listen about how they talk about speech. Is it a crime to insult somebody in public?

Yes, it is. And it's a crime to insult them online as well? Yes. The fine could be even higher if you insult someone in the Internet. Why? Because in internet, it stays there. If we are talking here face to face, you insult me, I insult you, okay, finish. But if you're in the internet, if I insult you or a politician.

That sticks around forever. Yeah. The prosecutors explain German law also prohibits the spread of malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes. If somebody posts something that's not true, and then somebody else reposts it or likes it, are they committing a crime? In the case of reposting, it is a crime as well, because the reader can't distinguish whether you just invented this or just reposted it. That's the same for us. The irony that is Germany, I find incredible and the celebration, sort of the joy in the, I believe this is an American reporter for 60 minutes, like, oh, I love this idea. It's really, I mean, it's so shocking.

It's breathtaking, really, that we are. seeing such a juxtaposition in ideas here. Yeah, and Germany's violent crime rates have also been soaring. So just adding that to the conversation, and they're going after people for posting things. So when these lawyers are talking about these legal actions, what do they look like? Well, 60 Minutes showed you. Take a look. Right.

It's 601 on a Tuesday morning, and we were with state police as they raided this apartment in northwest Germany. Inside, six armed officers searched a suspect's home, then seized his laptop and cell phone. Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime, the crime, posting a racist cartoon online. At the exact same time, across Germany, more than 50 similar raids played out. Part of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in Germany. Can't help but think that that was America, you know, had Kamala Harris won. I'm sorry, you know, we don't get political much on this show, you know, but when we had an administration promising more censorship and to stop online misinformation,

as I pointed out, we pointed out so clearly all of the misinformation I know about came from our own government ran. Paul has made that public. He sees it the same way. What do you do when your government is the one putting out the misinformation, and it's illegal to point that out, and now they're kicking in your doors like the Gestapo. I mean, it's chilling, you know.

There's very little self-reflection by the Biden administration, and even Kamala Harris when she was running, that it wasn't really on the top of her list to talk about in the debates with the debates, Donald Trump or in the final weeks there just to garner any type of the public support. But the irony is that 60 Minutes, a media organization that is supposed to really hold power, you know, hold power to account and be a truthful organization and really be a champion of free speech, is there literally on door kicking raids with armed police for memes.

And so it's even worse. And not saying, look out. This could be us. We need to make sure this doesn't come to America. It's like, doesn't this look great? I mean, that's what's so shocking about. Sure, I've seen reports on that through the years. Like, look what they're doing in Germany. This is why freedom in America is so important. No, it's like, don't you wish we had this too?

No, we don't, you crazy people. And it's not sadly just one organization. Here's Face the Nation. Listen to this. Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide. and he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups.

The context of that was changing the tone of it. And you know that, that the censorship was specifically about the right. No, I have to disagree with you. Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews and they hated minorities and they hated those that they had a list of people they hated but primarily the Jews There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were a sole and only party that governed that country. So that's not an accurate reflection of history Good on Marco Rubio. I have to say it must sometimes because I do get interviewed every once in a while a reviewer hits you, I mean or an interviewer hits you with something so totally outrageous your brain

can just go, does she just say that free speech was used by the Nazis to, you know, create, you know, to commit this atrocity and eradicate Jewish people? I mean, we look at it as the biggest authoritarian state of all times. And for her to equate that free speech is how that is done. So essentially, you're talking about our right to free speech leads to Nazism. I mean, Jeffrey, what is going? I guess this is. that equal and opposite reaction to all the joy we're feeling about President Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. being in office, the media is just counterbalance that with essentially defamatory statements about freedom and our First Amendment rights.

Absolutely. Zero historical reflection. I mean, Germany had Joseph Gerbils. He was literally the ministry of propaganda, one of the most successful propagandists of all times, to propaganda and as the German people and the world to allow what happened to happen. So none of that was brought up, obviously. But what she was talking about there was Vice President J.D. Vance, his visit to Germany to the Munich Security Conference. He actually spoke there. And he basically went right into the Lions Den and said this.

In Britain and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat. And in the interest of comedy, my friends, but also in the interest of truth, I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe, but from within my own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social media companies to censor so-called misinformation. Misinformation like, for example, the idea that coronavirus had likely leaked from a laboratory in China, our own government in the government, encouraged private companies to silence people who dared to utter what turned out to be an obvious truth. I really do believe that allowing our citizens to speak their mind will make them stronger still, which of course brings us back to Munich, where the organizers of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing populist parties on both the left and the right from participating in these conversations. Now again, we don't have to agree with every government.

everything or anything that people say. But when people represent, when political leaders represent an important constituency, it is incumbent upon us to at least participate in dialogue with them. Now, to many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old entrenched interests, hiding behind ugly Soviet-era words like misinformation and disinformation, who simply don't like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint, might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way or even worse, win an election.

And I believe deeply that there is no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your very own people. Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together. is one of our own making. If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you, nor for that matter, is there anything that you can do

for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump? Oh, man, so good, honestly. Really so nice to be represented in, you know, the way that, you know, I learned about America when I was in first grade, why we pledge allegiance, you know, why all of our military and soldiers have fought for this nation so courageously that we could uphold the concept of free speech to actually have representation now

for this country, standing for that against all else. Sure, there's unpleasant speech, there's lies, the deceit, there's misinformation, but we live in a nation that said, you'll survive all that. You have a brain. We trust our people. Let them. speak. And Vice President Bans said a couple things there. He actually admitted about COVID, how the previous organization, or I should say, Biden administration censored viciously Americans, and even though that everybody knew pretty much that this thing was coming from a lab. So one of the people that was helping to really misdirect that communication and to push mandates for the vaccine in the media was Pierce Morgan. And Pierce Morgan now,

famously has just launched a new show called Uncensored, ironically. And he just had Deborah Birx on. And this is how that exchange went. Take a listen. Okay. And what we've done wrong in public health is we didn't explain that COVID vaccines were nothing like the childhood vaccines and that the childhood vaccines, and that the childhood vaccines, like many of the diseases, you get it once, you don't get it again.

And this is getting the children to have that disease without getting the deadly consequences. That is not what the COVID vaccine was designed to do. It wasn't designed against infection. And if you look at the vaccine hesitancy rates, they've doubled since COVID. So we have to start addressing these things. We can't just ignore them. Let me ask you, Deborah, let me ask you, Deborah. I mean, given that you were the face of COVID from the Trump presidency at the time,

do you share this doctor who I was with, do you share the concerns about the longer term negative impact? of some of the COVID vaccines? The Messenger RMA vaccine should have been rolled out for the people that were at risk for severe disease, because that's what the vaccine was developed for. But when we say that we're following the science and the data, we need to follow the science of the data.

And the science and the data said people primarily over 65 or people with significant comorbidities were at risk for severe disease. Those are the individuals that should have been immunized first. And we should have put our science behind our immunization schedule and protected those most at risk. It went into young people in hospitals before it went into our elderly and nursing homes. That is not following the science and the data. So I am all for following the science and the data, but it shouldn't just be a statement. It should be a reality. She literally just stated,

really the truth of the Great Barrington Declaration, which is, yes, let's protect the elderly, but the rest of you aren't at risk. We should not be shutting down our society. We need to stay open. She's saying that now, and as peers looks like, I mean, just sort of being cross-eyed, but Deborah, aren't you the one that ran this entire campaign that forced this vaccine, locked us down, and drove people to just say, I don't trust the, you know, are regulatory agencies anymore.

I mean, it's unbelievable that she could sit there with a smile and her face. Oh, man, we got to change our ways. Like, you wrote the Bible on this. It's got your fingerprints all over. It's so amazing that statement. Literally was the lead in saying that, boy, these vaccine mandates really, they really made people hesitant. You were kind of leading that process.

Of course they did. And remember, she was an Army current. She was at the National Security Council. That was one of the top positions at the National Security Council. And that council was one of the top organizations pushing that early pandemic response. So she literally was one of the people responsible for this. And a lot of people are going back to the beginning of COVID, given how we're dealing with now bird flu at the current rate.

And looking back at this and saying, hold on a minute, we got to reanalyze this. One of those is writer Sasha Latova. She wrote a substack recently looking at as calling it a record of military and intelligence coordination of a global COVID event. She writes on February 4th, 2020, two things happen that almost nobody knows about, but that played an important role in the course of recent world history. Two declarations for CBRN, that's basically weapons of mass destruction, biological,

radiological, nuclear emergencies, EUA and PREP Act made by the U.S. Secretary of Health Human Services were registered on this. Number two, a pharmaceutical executive was caught on tape saying that the U.S. Department of Defense called to inform him that the newly discovered SARS-2 virus posed a national security threat. So let's go back to February 4th, 2020. How much of a national security threat was that? Well, we go to our world data, and let's look at the deaths at that point, that what we knew, what they knew to call this national security threat that hard at that time.

You can see only 503 deaths in the world. Europe had 11, the UK had two, North America had none. U.S. had none. So this is what people are questioning, why such a hard national security call at that point? And this brings us back to Deborah Birx. Now, this is an article from the Brownstone Institute, kind of assessing her role, again, a military colonel in the Army,

and it says in this article, Burks' policies were enacted throughout the country in almost every single state for the entire pandemic. This cannot be denied. it cannot be deflected. It goes on to say not only that, but no matter how much Trump or anyone in the administration disagreed with Berks, the White House was held hostage to the anticipated reaction of Dr. Birx. And she was not to be touched, period. These are the words of Dr. Atlas, who was on the ground there behind closed doors with her. And he was saying, why is everyone just bowing down to this woman? Why can't anybody question her? I mean, she's literally leading it state by state. She's leading this conversation. And what was the conversation? It was a military reaction. It was locked down everybody until a vaccine is ready and basically scare them using the media. Don't have early treatment. Don't have anything. Just keep them locked down, keep them masks and wait for that shot. I mean, the only part of this, which is interesting, and, you know, Sasha Latapov has done some really great reporting on this. I agree. Part of the things that we've looked at is what was the Department of Defense?

Where did Berks come in? But some of this, some of these articles are saying that Berks was just locking us down in order to wait for the vaccine that would, you know, get us out of this issue. But I keep thinking of something else that she said recently, you know, over a couple months ago. just take a look at this really quickly, Jeffrey. I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection, and I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it's not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. It will, but let's be very clear, 50% of the people who died from the Amacron surge were older, vaccinated. I mean, saying I always knew that the vaccine

wasn't going to work, that's where I, at least my, theory right now, Jeffrey, is that there was multiple sort of compounding interests that we're watching. One was to promote and push a vaccine program, as I said before, to get adults signed up in vaccine passports. That was the dream. It didn't work out. That was really like Fauci's camp. Let's like, let's just go full bore and get every adult into a vaccine program and you can't go into a restaurant or have a job unless you're up to date on all your vaccines, which, by the way, for a lot of adults would mean you got to catch up on those 72 vaccines your kid got. You only got 10, so bend over.

Here it comes. But, you know, Burks looked like she was on a different mission. I don't think she, I mean, I agree with her. I think, I mean, I think I believe her when she says, I always knew this vaccine was a joke. She didn't care about the vaccine. She wasn't waiting for the vaccine. It looked to me like this was an experiment on America, you know, and then ultimately the world. But how much would we put up with?

I mean, even down to like the fact that we were allowed to just, you know, tie a side. around our face or a bandana, which is absolutely insane. So really it had nothing to do. If you know the masks and the studies around masks aren't stopping transmission, you had to know bandanas weren't going to do it. So it's just can we get people to play in this charade in this game and how far will it go? I think it's backfired worse than they could possibly imagine. But right now, I'm under the impression that there was different agendas,

you know, Fauci and all of those that were invested at Moderna, which he was directly involved with at NIH, you know, funding and getting kickbacks on the vaccines. Let's push the vaccine. Berks was like, let's push lockdowns. What will America put up with? How much of their freedoms can we take away before they cry foul? But that's just my perspective, you know, and I think we're all, all these writers are trying to figure out how you put these pieces together.

But clearly they knew the vaccine. Everyone knew the vaccine wouldn't work. And still they told us it's 95%. consent effective and you should feel guilty and you should turn in your neighbor if they're not doing its right to protect their neighbor that is sick that is demented they played on our empathy for each other uh and used it against us and it was all a lie and you saw the government and the media in collusion to push those fears in order to kind of grease the skids for the vaccine for people to accept and comply to that vaccine and then the mandate came along so what we're seeing now switching now to the

is you're seeing it's not really scaring people people aren't really out there worried about catching bird flu but we're seeing a supply chain crunch as the issue to roll this vaccine out so oh your food prices are going up there's not a lot of food on your shelves so we got to get this vaccine out this is one of the big differences and so this is now coming this is fox news bird flu vaccine gets conditional license from USDA company announces and this is to protect chickens so they're going to vaccinate chickens from the bird flu vaccine but the problem with that is there's evidence that these bird flu vaccines shed. So when they shed, we have an

issue here. All the way back to 2015, there's actual studies talking about this, looking at Merrick's disease and chickens. And it says, imperfect vaccination can enhance the transmission of highly virulent pathogens. That's the title. But then it goes on and say our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease and unvaccinated hosts. Those are the chickens. So they're literally causing, perhaps incubating these more pathogenic versions of variants of bird flu by doing this. And remember, we have also the PCR testing out there with false positives that are keeping this in the news cycle. And the PCR testing are what they're using to call

the to kill these animals and also the birds. So you have that aspect that's kind of similar to the false positives during COVID to wrap that up. You have those number counters on the side of the screen during the news. And so what the problems is all of the calling of all of these chickens has obviously led to food production issues. So we have this. We're actually, U.S. is taking its eggs from Turkey now. U.S. birth flu outbreak increases demand for Turkish eggs. It says the egg producers central union of Turkey announced a preliminary agreement to export approximately 15,000 tons of eggs to the U.S. by June. the outbreak has led to the calling of over 21 million birds exacerbating supply shortages.

So this is becoming a very big deal to the supply chain in the United States. And so you're seeing this vaccine come out, but false positive PCRs and then a leaky vaccine that doesn't prevent transmission, those are also big issues we need to focus on. And then bringing it all the way back to really the military response, we have President Trump has tapped Gerald Parker to be the new head of the pandemic office as bird flu threat grows, says the headline. Joe Parker is now this is the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response. He's a 26-year veteran of the U.S. Army. So it goes on to saying this article to something else that I think it should be noted.

It says Parker was previously the Associate Dean for Global One Health at Texas A&M University. One Health refers to the study of how human threats and animals and the environment are closely linked to the human health concern. including how dangerous viruses and bacteria often emerge in animals before spreading to humans. But One Health is also on par with everything is on par and equally important. The environment, animals, welfare, and then people. So remember, we were told that it's climate change that started the COVID pandemic. That's One Health because everything's related.

And so this is, you know, a lot of people in the public are saying this is a concern because this is along the lines of the WHO ideology, these international health-related, regulations, this guy is kind of being installed in here with that mindset, literally running it being the associate dean of Global One Health at Texas A&M. So there's a lot of questions on this, a lot of moving parts with the birth flu situation that's happening. But one thing's for sure, the supply chain in the United States, the food supply chain, is taking a major hit right now.

And, you know, it's questionable what some of these things they're trying to do to alleviate that are going to do if they're not going to exacerbated. It seems to me as stupid as trying to hide. hide from a virus, which is what they tried to do with COVID. The examples of New Zealand and Australia were the perfect examples that that didn't work, even though they hid, they all got vaccinated. Eventually that virus went and wiped out just as many people in those communities as those of us that didn't have time to lock down or hide from it. Because in the end, it's all in the air, it's moving. And I just keep wondering why we never see a conversation. If you're, you know,

flock got the bird flu, aren't they all about to develop immunity to be protected against any other strains that are coming along? And who knows? Do they pass that on to the eggs and future, you know, baby chicks? I don't know. We'll never know if you keep killing every animal that is developing immunity. And as you pointed out, now if you start vaccinating, I could bring out my football analogy again, giving them specific immunity to only what you're vaccinating for. And it leaks. And so now you're becoming an incubator for. future strains, which is why I think we saw so many strains of COVID. It was being pressured by a vaccine that wasn't allowing you to actually clear it from the body and become a real armored,

you know, person against infection. We just stay vulnerable. And you're going to do that to the animals now. And God knows what happens. And this is, again, this is playing with Mother Nature. I do a lot of talks on this as I travel around. You know, this is where we're praying. I think we're all praying that Robert Kennedy Jr. And the people he's selecting, you know, I doubt he selected this guy who I, you know, was from Texas. My understanding is friends with Peter Hotez, one of the world's great idiots when it comes to vaccinations. But, you know, who knows?

I mean, I guess in some ways everybody should be at the table. I guess all sides should be there having conversation. but at least we've got Bobby, and there's got his hands full. He's surrounded by some really, I think, stupid ideas. And if you keep putting a vaccine that sheds and spreads, is that what ends up infecting the first human beings and really taking off so many things to keep our eye on? Jeffrey, amazing reporting.

Obviously, we're not going to stop. I mean, there's so much to be excited about, but we also have to keep our eye on the prize and keep the pressure and demand from the, This new government that's talking about freedom, make sure that they stand up for freedom every opportunity they get. And this new government that's going to start asking questions about the vaccines, let's make sure they do. Let's make sure they do those studies. Make sure they get their databases, you know, to the transparent places, which is what we've been fighting for for years and years and years together, Jeffrey.

So we're not going to back down. It's great having you on the team and continue doing the great work that you've been doing. All right. Thank you so much, Al. All right. Take care. I'll see you next week. Well, speaking of great work, Jeffrey Jackson said, you know, there's some topics that were just not able to get all the way into the depth of them in the short Jackson reports were doing on the high wire.

And he wanted to do a deeper dive into some of these subjects. It was a very exciting idea. And we said, you know what? Let's do that. Let's make that a gift to those people that have been supporting us all along the way. So he started Jeffrey Jackson investigates. It's only available on Highwire Plus. And it's amazing.

We just got through the polio series, which went viral. People's minds are blown. And you are getting information that even top scientists have reached out and said, Jeffrey, that was the best investigation I've ever seen on this topic. Well, now he's getting into the next series, which is on mental health, something that is the heart of issues that Robert Kennedy Jr. has talked about. But what are the third rails of this conversation? What are we not hearing about?

Why do we hear that SSRIs and the whole issue with, you know, gut health and SSRIs and serotonin? Is that really the issue? Lots of confusion. Well, Jeffrey Jackson has gone in, deep dive once again, and he's answering all those questions, finding the best in the world to get a sense of what that looks like. This is what only people that are donating right now are seeing on Highway Plus. Take a look at this. Mental health.

Mental health. Mental health crisis. Regardless of your gender or how you identify, mental health is an important issue. Mental health is affecting all of us. A recent CDC study finds American teens are in a mental health crisis. What do you say to someone who is happy with what they do lives a fulfilled life, exercises, and is still depressed? The government's top doctor is warning about the effects of TikTok and other such sites on young people. The way that your brain functions as a physical matter can be changed to make you more controllable.

We're in a mental health crisis right now. Mentally the system is deteriorating even faster than ever. We're messing around with something we really don't fully understand. There's loads of patients I've had who say, look, doc, I've been on opiates in the past. I think it often has harder. What was mental health? mental health leading into the COVID pandemic. It was really bad.

Things were falling apart before COVID from somewhere around 2008, 2009 to 2010. The rates of which people from their teens through the age of tertiary were saying that things weren't right. I'm seeing more patients that kind of just can't handle life. The resilience is not. Yes. For campus, it's actually the center of our mental immune system.

Its function is to maintain our psychological resilience. The WHO said depression was basically one of the largest causes of not being able to work. I ended up being an insider with people from the pharmaceutical companies. The SSRI group of drugs, they're only antidepressants from a marketing point of view. And the famous Prozac here in America was one of the biggest blockbuster drugs of all time. That's when I became aware that the estrogen could make people suicidal. It's an amazing series if you want to check that out.

It's just it's bonus content material for those of you. that are helping us fight the good fight, that are helping us win the lawsuits, that we're gonna continue to bring, supporting our military, reversing the lockdown on your vaccine choice. Of course, we won the religious exemption back from Mississippi. We were critical in the shift in West Virginia.

We're still fighting in California. We've got amazing cases, New York, Connecticut, Maine. And there's states like Hawaii. I'm gonna be traveling to Hawaii soon because they're trying to take away the religious exemption. Who's gonna fight for? you. Who's going to fight those things in court? Who's going to make sure that that doesn't come to you? And by the way, if you're in a blue state right now, it looks like they're just like

opposite day, whatever the Trump administration and Bobby decide, they're going the opposite. So somebody better be ready to fight that fight. We're ready for it. We're built for it. We're designed for it. And we are the best at what we do. So please support us. We're going to try to free the four and stop Hawaii and anybody else to try and add back to this list. become a recurring donor today. We're asking for $25 for $20.25. All you have to do is just click on that donate button at the top of your screen, and we will take it from there.

You'll get all the information you need, how to donate. We're also going to make it easy for you to become a recurring donor. You can mail, you can stock, international transfer, crypto, vehicles, gift cards, points, legacy. And if you just want to text us and make it easy right now, type in the number 17. and write the word donate. And we'll send you a link. And if you donate up to $5 per month, you get all of the new stuff that we're doing, whether it's High Wire Plus or off the record, which is my, you know,

conversation after the show, going a little bit deeper and more personal with the guests that are here. And there's more to come. There's a lot of more programming that we want to do. You make that possible. You make all of this possible. You should be patting yourself on the back. I can play a massive role.

over the last several years in pushing and driving Robert Kennedy Jr. All the way into the HHS secretary, part of my team helped me strategize on how to best represent these concepts as we got closer and closer to that incredible prize. So everyone that's been donating, thank you. And thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. If you want to be a part of the next chapter, which we're starting to write right now and go in the future, where do we go from here, becoming recurring donor, now so you can go down in history with the next great achievements that we're planning on

to bring to this country and to be the beacons of light, hope, truth, and medical freedom to the world. All right, there's so many important medical decisions that we make health decisions. Part of this Maha movement that is breaking loose around Robert Kennedy Jr. And the work that he wants to do is how do we make America healthy again? How do we make ourselves healthy? How do we avoid needing surgeries in the future and taking drugs in the future? What is the proactive way and things that we can do to actually change our lives, make ourselves healthier?

One of the things that I think gets overlooked the most is our mouth. How many of us are neglecting that pain or that thing in our tooth? Or do you still have mercury in your teeth? I mean, are you doing, are you like checking every label, reading every label, making sure that you're not getting seed oils now, but you didn't get the mercury out of your mouth? I mean, you're moving backwards, if that's the case. So one of the things, we've got a brand new book called Matters of the Mouth that we're going to be talking about today.

This dentist, Tom's Loken's guard, pulled the mercury out of my teeth, which was a huge game changer for me. It'll look like this. So what we're going to do, Del, is we're going to put a nasal hood on you. For oxygen, we want you to breathe through the nasal hood. Okay. Okay. And that is to prevent you from getting any of the veilsal.

from the mercury fill removal into the into your nose. Okay. Okay? Because that goes right to your brain. Alright, let's not do that. Well, people will ask me, so why do they put mercury in your mouth anyway? I mean, how did that get started? And it goes back to Galen's four therapies, whereby the earth metals used to, they used to think,

if it came from the earth, it was good, it was safe, it was good for you. Silver, it actually turns out to be good. Aluminum, not so good. Right. Mercury, deadly. Right. I fixed it probably in the late 1800s because they needed an amalgamation of metals so it was workable. All right.

You're doing it okay, Dale? All right. So the next thing we'll do is we'll put some topical anesthetic into the area where we're going to give you an injection. And we're going to give you a painless injection, my friend. Okay. Okay. Done. And you see right here is mercury.

It's just a shinier, deeper white. In biological dentistry, we believe that very high-speed drilling, which is like 600 revolutions per minute, really destroys teeth. It causes micro fractures and that's not good. So we use electric hand pieces. So these do a lot less damage, they go slower and they cause less vibration. This is the composite fill and this is the mercury fill right here. Now this is kind of interesting.

What we do here is we use a technique where we call it chunk it out. We try to touch it as little as possible. This is the nasal hood so he doesn't breathe any of this in. This is an air vacant machine. This is a suction that sucks any vapors that would come out of the filling that we would miss and it sucks it into a big filter down at the end. Okay? Okay.

Moving it in one big piece. Okay, there you go. See if we can chuck this out here. Here it come. Gone. All right? We hardly touched it. And there we go.

And there we go. You let me know if there's enough anesthesia here, okay? Okay. All right. Okay. I don't even know where his body is. I can't move my arm. This is a baby tooth here, and it's full of mercury, and instead of taking a mercury filling out,

and putting in it in it, we're just going to extract the tooth. So we push the gum tissue away with this little instrument. And there's not a whole lot of root structure left on this. Just loosen it up a little bit. Slow back and forth. And it's coming. There it's coming. There it is.

That's the tooth. It's almost all mercury. And we figured rather than trying to get the mercury out of there and vaporize everything or vaporize even any of it, we need to just remove it. We've taken it out, clean it out, ozoneated it, put a packing in, and we're going to put a suture in here. Well, I Can't Press as a brand new book because there's so many questions about your mouth. What's good, what's not, and how is it affecting the rest of my body? Matters of the mouth, a holistic guide to achieving optimal oral and overall health.

The author joins me down, Dr. Tom Loken's Guard. You know, you really saved my mouth, which is why I was so excited to get involved in this. One of the first things I was speaking, I believe it was that the truth about cancer when we first met. You came up and you asked to sort of look at my teeth, and we recognized I still had mercury from baby teeth that never fell out and things like that. You know, how did you get into this? And what is the terms? Biological dentistry. Biological, holistic and biomimetic dentistry.

Okay. But we were at a Westonay-Price conference. Oh, is that where it was? In Chattanooga. And then we heard from a lady that was funding the event that you were going to be speaking at this place in Nashville right after the truth about cancer conference. And so we said, well, let's just go.

And so that's where we're. we first met you. All right. So, and when it came to Mercury, and I remember it was quite an ordeal, you know, you can't just, I mean, and something you said to me that I was shocking is even the dentist is taking a risk. Mercury is, it's the most toxic profession on the planet, in my opinion. Yeah. And it's, every time, every time you touch a mercury filling or you drill out a mercury filling or let's say you want to remove a mercury filling and you want to drill a drill fill and bill as they say it's very dangerous there's a lot of toxicity that's released from the amalgam it's mercury and mercury can cause cancer and damage your brain

and cause Alzheimer's and all kinds of things is it still being used I mean you know about 30 percent I'm guessing it's about 30 percent of the dentist in and probably more so in the military than not. When I went to dental school and afterwards, I realized very quickly that probably what I learned was 50% correct. I just, and the other half was 50% wrong. I just had to figure out which 50% I should follow. But yes, it's still being used. Is there, I mean, I know that there was, even when, you know, I was working with you, there's controversy around it. There's a lot of, is it dental, dentists associations that say there's no problem with mercury.

Is that still going on? There's still people making an argument. A lot like fluoride. That mercury is okay in your mouth? Yeah, they're saying it's... In fact, in dental school, in hygiene schools, they teach hygienists how to polish the filling, the mercury filling, so they're nice and shiny.

But when you're taking out a mercury filling, there's a tremendous risk at inhaling this mercury vapor. Wow. The other thing that I've had done, which was, which really pushed the edge for me was I had a root canal removed. Why is that an issue? And you talk about all these things in your book and you get into all sorts of ways that the body is affected by the mouth. But what is it about so many people get root canals?

And I have to say it was like a lifesaver for me. I was like, oh my God, pain, all that was gone. but ultimately you and a couple of other biological dentists, Adele, you really need to get that out of your mouth, but it didn't hurt. Why should someone remove that? Well, oddly enough, the dental profession is the only professional I know, the only medical profession I know,

that keeps dead body parts in the body. And that's heresy, in my opinion. So it has to be removed. But when you remove a root canal, because nerve and blood supply inside the tooth that becomes infected. And basically in every disease state, what happens is there's a lack of blood flow to the organ. Then there's a lack of nitric oxide to the organ. Then there's a lack of voltage to the organ, which decreases the oxygenation to the organ,

which wakes up the bugs and they start having you for lunch. And then inside the root canals, their root canals will go systemic. the pathogens will lodge themselves in the tooth and then they'll go systemic and they'll cause cardiovascular disease strokes heart attacks thyroiditis and all kinds of things and that's just because it doesn't have blood flow anymore it can't protect itself and I think one of the issues is you can't feel it right because you don't have that blood you've taken out the nerve supply but there's there's probably three miles of nerves in inside the tooth structure that can go systemic to the rest of the body so if there's there's an infection at the end of that root canal, then it can go systemic.

It goes into the rest of the blood supply. As a dentist in spending your life in dentistry, how hard was it to unlearn? Because you said you realized half of what you had learned was not true. What was it, you know, was there an aha moment or was it a slow, gradual understanding that shifted? Great question. It was, there were several aha moments. but it was mostly a gradual transition for me from dental school. Because in dental school I heard things like America will never have a macro or a micronutrient

deficiency problem because we have vitamin-enrich bread like wonder bread. And that came from a very talented biochemist who I studied under at the University of Minnesota because I graduated in 1980 at the University of Minnesota dental school. And then because I had so much biochemist, I had so much biochemistry. in my college career. Dr. Leon Singer was his name. He was a PhD, a biochemist. And he said, Tom, I want to do this experiment with fluoride. And so back then, and I said, okay, so I joined him in the lab. And even when we talk about fluoride, you know, we say it does all these damaging things, which it does. It can even kill children. But the bottom line is it doesn't even

work to help tooth decay. Really? Yeah, really. Because what happened was we did this, we took some extracted teeth from oral surgery, and we were going to measure the ion flow across the enamel membrane. So we took some extracted molars and it was a nine week quarter

back in the day when it was on a quarter and out of semester system. And so we ioniferatically we painted these teeth with zero fat and measured the fluoride ion migration across the membrane.

Do you know how much fluoride ion migrated across the membrane in nine weeks? No. Take a guess. I have no idea. Zero. Zero. So the idea is it should penetrate. It should be doing all this work.

Right. But the thing is, so if it doesn't penetrate the enamel matrix in nine weeks, what does it, and you go into your dental office and you have a one-minute fluoride treatment, how much is going to migrate across. Right. Obviously nothing. But fluoride can damage your melatonin levels, your pineal gland. Yeah.

And it can damage that for sure 100%. So all of these things are slowly, you know, coming out. You know, do you feel like dentistry, sort of like we're talking about right now with Robert Kennedy Jr., the conversations are changing? You know, it used to be that the biological, holistic dentists were sort of the outcast, you know, the crazy. Yeah, we were. Is that changing? Do you feel like... It's changed a lot, and it continues to change.

When I moved to Nashville, I made a prediction. I said, and people would ask me, well, what do you do? I said, I'm a holistic biological dentist. And the answer, the question is, what is that? What does that mean? And so nobody had heard of it. And now everybody's seeking for a biological holistic dentist. There are some major organizations that you look for it.

One is the IAO, the International Association, of orthodontics which my practice was a lot of orthodonic treatment and arch expansion and then the IABDM this is all in the book okay yeah and then the IOMT was a very so if you remember that or the HDA holistic dental association what is the sort of in the work that you've done and of course you get into a lot of other like natural health remedies and things that affect the whole body in here because dentistry took you on a journey into, you know, the whole body health, which is what I think is so interesting about this book.

Right. Did you have any concept that oral health was so engaged with Oregon health throughout the body? I had no idea, Del. When you started, no. I had no idea. It was just some of those aha moments came, you know, when, well, for example, the recommendation to have a six-month treatment, you go visit your dentist every six months. Do you know where that came from?

No. There was this, back in the 50s, in the 1950s, there was this toothpaste company called Ipanah. Okay. Ipanah toothpaste. And they had a mascot called Buckey Beaver. And Buckey Beaver said, brush your teeth after every meal and visit your dentist twice a year. And that became the standard insurance standard. It has nothing to do with clinical dentistry.

How often should a person go to the dentist? Well, it depends. Some people need to go every couple months. Some people need to go every couple of years. Okay. And every in between, depending on what your issues are. But the whole thing that you brought up was, what did I learn about, when did I understand that the mouth became the whole,

was basically when I became a naturopath. So you went and studied naturopathy while you were a dentist. Well, I was getting frustrated with dentistry, but some things tweaked my ear, and I found out that the three biggest disease states in the world are dental decay, gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums. Yeah. And peridontitis, which is a bonafide infection, which can lead to root canals and receding gums and receding bone.

Are there any things that you see, like, in the teeth that tell you that there's something else wrong with your body? Are the teeth ever, I mean, I know the teeth can affect your health. Is there the reverse where we can see that there's issues with your health that's coming out in your teeth? Well, I have patients come into me all the time and say, geez, you know, my, my, my, something, with my bladder. Do you think that's related to my teeth? And I'm like, I have no idea. I doubt it.

I have no idea. It doesn't make sense to me. Then I came to find out that TCM dentistry, traditional Chinese medicine, teeth are like little batteries, and they sit on a meridian, on a collagen meridian, and they're like circuit breakers.

And so if you have a tooth, well, in fact, let me give you an example. Thomas Rao, who's an MD, who runs the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland. He's an MD that treated cancer. And he did, he had, it was a rather small study, but he studied cancer patients, women cancer patients that had breast cancer on the ipsilateral side, meaning the same side. They had, he discovered that they each had root canals,

failed root canals on the right side on the ipsilateral side that caused the breast cancer because they were tracked on this meridian. And so the teeth were removed, fixed up PRF, which is protein-rich-firin, and then oxygenated and ozinated, and then restored. But he's the one that made a connection between breast cancer and tooth problems. So yes, every tooth, your teeth... Did that help? Does it help? If you get the teeth fixed, does it help with the cancer? It helps a lot.

So are there anything else that you would think people would be surprised that your dental health effects in the rest of your body? Well, yeah. Alzheimer's and dementia's can be related to a bug called Purferomonas ginger valis. Okay. Because your mouth has a microbiome, just like your gut does. And everybody thinks that the gut is the beginning of your health. The beginning of your gut is your mouth, right?

But your mouth has a microbiome just like your gut does. And so if porphyrimonous gingervalis gets into your system to the tooth, the tooth into the body, it can cause Alzheimer's and dementia. And it can cause stroke, cardiovascular disease, thyroid dysfunction, and all kinds of things. What about the constant use of mouthwash? I mean, one of the things that I discovered during COVID is, you know, something as simple is just gargling strong mouthwash because everyone's talking about like the colonization of the virus, like stop it.

It's been very effective. Every time I get a scratchy throat of that feeling like something's coming on, I go and gargle mouthwash, but it seems if it's powerful enough to do that, it must be wiping out, you know. It's wiping out the good bacteria. Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. So we developed, I started a little company called Pearl Oral Health a few years ago. Yeah.

And we have a product called oxymist that your body produces this compound naturally. And so that's what I recommend. But no, as far as any of the commercial mouth rinses, they're toxic. So you don't want to be, you know, rinse your mouth like a commercial savory day to get rid of the bacteria. What about water picks or vibrating toothbrushes? Did these things matter? Yeah, sure do. Flossing, brushing, tongue scraping in our system, we have an oral health care.

We have a MAHA oral health system. Okay. It's just designed for your mouth. And so if you go on our website, it's Pearl Oral Health. Okay. Maha, the Maha dot store. And so congratulations for what you're doing too. Thank you.

Thank you. So with this Maha movement and this desire to make America healthy again, you know, the whole, the whole dental space is so critical. There's a lot of people that wait, you know, wait. They're sitting on an issue. A lot of it because we just hate the experience of going to. a dentist, but what would be your advice to everyone watching right now that's maybe taken a while or sort of nursing these little issues that we're chasing around our mouths? The bottom line, Dell, is this. You cannot have a healthy body without having a healthy oral

structure, oral mouth. This is where it starts. And so you have to keep it clean, like you said, with toothpicks. My regimen is I get in and I use a sonic care. Okay. Sonic care is a vibratory, and they get rid of the dental plaque. And then I use a toothpick. Yep. A gum pick. I think those are very valuable. We have a toothpaste called Nature's Toothpaste.

Okay. And it has everything good for your microbiome. And it boosts nitric oxide synthase and synthesis. So you know about nitric oxide. I think... I don't, though, really. How does nitric oxide... Nitric oxide is a gas that's produced in your endothelium.

in your arterial wall, and it dilates the blood vessels. All disease states, no matter what they are, start with a decrease in blood flow into the organ system. And with that, there's also a decrease in nitric oxide. And nitric oxide is producing your parinazal sinuses. So you want to avoid becoming a mouse breathing. And at night, you want to use some kind of an appliance, which will cause you to breathe through your nose.

that's a whole other discussion. That's another topic. Now, are you saying that teeth are actually organs? Is that... There are switches. Yeah, they're organ systems. But on each meridian, there's a meridian channel. For example, I had a lady come in with her daughter.

And I noticed she was on prednisone. And I said, ma'am, how come your daughter's on prednisone? And she goes, well, she has bladder infections. And I go... Yeah. So I said, well, so I took a look at her lower front teeth because that's a meridian that's connected to the platter. And her four lower teeth were just bombed out.

And I said, well, there's your problem. And see, I wouldn't have known that 20 years ago. Right. Or 10 years ago. Because people would come in and say, well, do you think this is affecting this in my mouth? I go, again, I have no idea. Right.

But in her case, so we went ahead and removed those teeth and cleared up. she got off the prednisone. Wow. So each one of your teeth are like little circuit breakers. And once they become infected, they shut down the canal. And that's what, there's a biological holistic dentist know that, and they know they can sort of work on those issues.

Right, right. So it might, yeah, it might not even be a tooth issue at all. Yeah. Or it might be. So. I know there's people like deal with migraines and stuff and then go and get dental appliances and things like that. True.

Well, that's a whole other thing, is the size of your mouth. Okay. Because with this COVID thing, masking was ridiculous. Right. Because you're just rebreating the bad bacteria. What you want to do is you want to have your mouth proper form, shape, and size, which is what my focus on my practice actually became. Okay.

Was orthodontics until I ran into you. So. What do you think about? Have you heard of mouth taping? Yeah. What do you think of that? I think it's great. Yeah?

If you're a mouth breather, because if you're a mouth breather, you're not developing the nitric oxide in your paranasal sinuses, which then goes into the stomach. One of the biggest issues, I think, in dentistry and disease is nasal, non-nasal breathing. You've got to become a nasal breather. Interesting. That's the bottom line. I didn't breathe through my nose for like the first, you know, I think 20 years in my life. Actually, even longer, I was on the doctors, I had a deep.

deviated septum my whole life. Did you get that fixed? Finally, when I was working on the doctor's television show, actually my executive producer, Jen Sherry, who's here now, shot it. She went and shot and they're like, oh, we'll do the surgery for you. And they rebroke my nose. It was the break heard round the world. You heard the audience.

I mean, it was crazy. But I, it definitely. What's good that you got to correct? Yeah. Did you have any orthodic appliances? I mean, I got braces when I was a kid. things like that. That's something that I question. Let me just ask you something because my son's 16. You know, he's ready to, I want to straighten those teeth out.

Ever 16 now? Yeah, he's 16. He's also 6.3. For those for those people out there that saw him the mask on during COVID, he's this little guy. He just shot up. I'm hugging a bear now and I'm hugging my own son. I personally felt like wearing the head gear and pulling all the teeth back then a couple years later like well there's no room for your wisdom teeth we got to pull them I was like you took away the room from my wisdom teeth I mean I'm just you need to do slow

arch expansion I mean I would rather just can I leave is it but are there people that live with all their teeth including their wisdom teeth in their mouth sure yeah yeah that's we I've gone from having to remove wisdom teeth because there wasn't enough room like you said yeah the reason there's not enough room is because there's not

enough space out here okay And so if you expand out the arches, you expand the upper arch, and you want tongue placement on the palate, and then you want to have nasal breathing going on all the time, even at night, even at rest. Okay. And then you'll produce nitric oxide, which is the whole thing that drives. It's all about, the whole human body is fearfully and wonderfully made. Yeah. But it's designed to run as an electrical circuit and a bio-competitive.

chemical circuit, meaning that you need the chemistry to, you need the voltage. It's all about voltage. Yeah. There's a book called Healing is Voltage by a Jerry Tennant called Healing is Voltage. We are electrical beings, that's one of the reasons why we moved to Florida so we could run around on the beach. Yeah. But that's really, yeah. Once the electrical voltage drops, then the mitochondrial drops, so you've got to be able to

So you've got to raise the voltage, raise the nitric oxide levels, and that's what we're, that's what our little company called Periloral Health is all about. And so with this maha movement, the timing is phenomenal. Yeah. I mean, the timing is just incredible. I mean, we were, Jan and I were jumping up and down the day, Kennedy, because I was concerned. Yeah. Some of those decepticrats are, they're nasty. Decepticrats are, I've ever heard that. Yeah, it was, it was, it's truly a miracle and that's why I'm so happy to be, you know, getting your book out there. Dental health is this going to be part of making America healthy again? Exactly. And thank you because I was looking around for a small publisher. The book had been mostly written.

About a month or two went by and then some Saturday morning I see this number and I go, I don't recognize the area code. And so I picked it up and you go, hey, Tom, it's Dell. I go, hey, Del, how you doing? You go, hey, your book. I want to publish it. And that was just unbelievable. So thank you so much for that. Well, thank you for trusting us. And thank you for all that you've done to help, you know, keep me healthy.

Because it's rough out there, all the traveling, you know, going around. And, you know, I get compliments on my smile. And I say, well, this is the guy that made that happen. Tom, Logan's Guard. Thank you for his book. Thank you for your incredible body of work. Thank you. If you want to get this book, Matters of the mouth, you'll be really glad you grab this.

So, you know, one of the things that keep talking about all this extra content for those of you that are supporting us, well, how about off the record? I love to sit down my guests and get up close and personal, maybe ask some questions that don't quite fit the style and structure of this scientific experience called the high wire. You want to check out off the record. It looks like this. And I'll see you next week. And that's the wrap. The viewers have spoken, and we have listened. I'm Dell Bigtree, and it's time to go off the record.

This is what we couldn't talk about on the highway. With a brand new show exclusively for our donors. I actually want to dive into a very sensitive topic. Guess we're getting right into it. With more personal questions. I'd like to bring up probably one of the most heated conversations, if you don't mind that we've had a germ or terrain. theory. What the hell is this really about? To get the answers you won't find anywhere else.

One last question. White privilege. Telling the truth that they don't want you to hear. We're pissing nature off. Is anyone telling me the truth? You have no obligation to be honest with these people. No doctor wants to say that they're killing people. Yeah, but doesn't every doctor want to stop killing people? You have no freedom. You have no liberty. You're a slave. It's silly to call people anti-vaccine. It's nonsense. Yeah. All of that's BS. We will have full discovery power. Watch what happens when we go off the record. You are not gonna wanna miss this.

All right, well, it's been an incredible week, as we said. One of the things that I had an opportunity, I told you all, we did a show about the fact that I was director of communications for Robert Kennedy Jr. One of the things about doing that is, you know, for two and a half years really, I sort of had to watch how I spoke with the news

because all of it reflected on my good friend Bobby Kennedy. But as soon as that hand hit that Bible, I felt like, okay, mission accomplished. We've all done it. We got him there. It was tight, scary there through some of the hearings. It came down to the wire. But I ran from the Oval Office over to do a press conference at the National Press Club. And, you know, I would say most of the major networks were there. and I took the opportunity to really let the press know that you let us down, that you may not have wanted this to happen, but this is happening because the people listened to shows like the Highwire

and other podcasts and followed Robert Kennedy Jr. Even though you were lambasting everybody that was sharing the truth, we're going to expect more from you now. This is me, just a small clip from my press conference, where I really let the media know what I thought. Take a look at this. I hate to be so emphatic, but we've been ridiculed and lambasted by every one of you over and over and over again

while our children got sicker and sicker and sicker and more and more of them died. 38,000 reported deaths for the COVID vaccine alone, and none of you are asking a question. How do they explain that? Wouldn't we pull any other product in the world? No, in America, we say let's give it to the children now. Let's put it on the schedule for children who have a 0.0002% risk of death from COVID. These are shocking stats that I've never seen a report on.

We'll see if you start reporting now that we have a truth teller. inside of government. And we'll see if you start reporting as you watch this movement in the hands of the people, the Maha movement, growing every single day. They're going to look for who's telling them the truth. They've seen who's lied to them. Maybe they can forgive you. I will if you start doing your job. Thank you. Anyway, to all of the press out there, you know, I really mean it, by the way. It's very important the job that you do, that I do, that we all do as journalists. We are the fourth the state. We are the fourth branch of government. We're not supposed to be owned by corporations. We're not supposed to be owned by the political

authority that's in power at the moment. We're supposed to always be pushing and pressing and asking, is this the right way to go? Is this the right answer? Is this really science? Where does your science come from? It's a huge part of what we do here at the highwire. And I want you to think about when you think about what network you trust, and people say, well, how do I know who to trust? I would trust the network that shows you their work. We have what we call the High Wire Protocol.

And I mentioned this to everyone in that press conference. At the High Wire Protocol, we hand all of our evidence, all of our science, all of our peer-reviewed studies that we're looking at, the articles, the videos. All of that goes into the hands of our viewers. They can see it in context, not out of context, not cherry picks. So when someone asked me, Del, where did you get your information? You should have been on our newsletter because it'd be in your hands right now. If that matters to you, you should take part of what's one of the most important things that we do is we prove ourselves. All you have to do is just scroll down the page on the high wire and type in your email right where it says Brave Bold News right there, become a High Wire Insider.

Just type in your email right there. It's that simple. we don't share it with anybody, but then every Monday, usually, after a show, you get links to everything that we were talking about so that you can read the study yourself. You can show your friends. This is what media is supposed to be. In a free country, this is how it's supposed to work. This is how you make sure that we're not spreading misinformation. Sometimes if you, you know, if you wanted to, you could write in and say, hey, I found something else in this study. Maybe you didn't see. Check our work. That's what my math teacher used to do.

when I was in high school, certainly as American citizens, we should be able to check the work of those that are reporting to us. It's a huge part of how much we believe in the truth that we're telling here. We hand it and put it in your hands. We hand it to you. So to all of those news agencies out there, can we just turn a page here? Can we all hug it up and say, okay, we can can do better. I still would like an apology, but I'll live with it if we don't get it as long as you start doing your job and reporting the truth and reporting the science. There's a lot of science that's going to start pouring out of health and human services. We had the executive order putting together the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which is going to be headed by

Robert Kennedy Jr. It's amazing that it had to take this long to finally get all the heads of all the regulatory agencies to meet and start thinking about ideas of how they're going to all work together to make America healthy again. I can't wait to see what comes out from that. They're, they have a hundred days to really put together a plan of what they're going to be executing, what we can be expecting. All of that, I think, is very exciting. We're going to continue to report on it. Unbiased. I don't, I want to make something perfectly clear. Just because I know one of the guys that's up there running the regulatory agencies doesn't mean we're going to that off. We're bringing all of the FOIA requests. And I told Bobby, look, it may happen. If someone inside of

HHS or under you, CDC, FDA sends us something redacted, you might be getting a lawsuit that will say directed at Robert Kennedy Jr. HHS secretary. Hopefully it never gets to that. Hopefully all the FOIA requests come through. But we're going to be filing them like crazy, which means our legal team is going to be on top of this. All this is possible because every one of you that donate and make the high wire. happen. This is a happening. And we're happy. There's nothing I love more than showing up every Thursday and delivering this show and getting to the bottom of the truth with Jeffrey Jackson. We're turning over a new leaf. It's a new chapter. There's a new journey ahead. What happens when you have

all the wind at your back? What can we achieve together? Can we make America healthy again? Can we do it within two years, which is what Donald Trump's expecting from Robert Kennedy Jr.? We're going to be doing our part and hopefully you'll be doing your part with us. So to be in it together on this journey, this is what the high wire is all about. And I'll see you next week.
