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?

Yes. Action. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Wherever you are out there in the world, it's time for us all to step out into the high wire. It's another great week for those of us in medical freedom. You know, when you work hard enough to get one of the most powerful positions in health, occupied by someone that actually believes in science and the scientific method and asking the questions all of us have been asking for a very long time. It really sucks to have someone just obstructing all that or threatening to take you out or stopping your other appointments like Dave Weldon or possibly Casey Means.

Well, one of these individuals just met the Maha movement and here's the headlines. Senator Bill Cassidy loses Louisiana Republic Senate primary. Senator Bill Cassidy failed to finish the top two spots in Louisiana's Republic Senate primary on Saturday. The AP projects, of course, that is the final decision. He dropped to dead last because we'd had enough. We'd had enough of the obstruction and the inability to open up your mind to a decent conversation. If you want to know what I mean, this is what some of those moments look like in the Senate hearings. It's no secret. I have some reservations about your past positions on vaccines and a couple other issues.

So as a physician who's been involved in immunization programs, I've seen the benefits of vaccinations. I know they save lives. I know they're a crucial part of keeping our nation healthy. There's multiple studies establishing the safety of measles and hepatitis B vaccine, and specifically that they are not a cause of autism. in this position, will you reassure mothers unequivocally and without qualification that the measles and hepatitis B vaccines do not cause autism? Senator, I am not going into the agency with any... That's kind of a yes or no question. I don't mean to cut you off, but that really is a yes or no.

If the data is there, I will absolutely do that. I know the data is there. I'll go back to something I said earlier. You got a following, man. There's a lot of people that look to you. for do I get vaccinated or not. Convince me that you will become the public health advocate, but not just churn old information so that there's never a conclusion,

as Senator Hassan suggested, but that will become the influencer for people to believe, no, there's 1.25 million kids studied and there's no autism associated with measles. I'm going to be an advocate for a strong science. You show me those scientific studies and you and I can meet about it. And there are other studies as well and I'd love to show those to you. It was a study that came out last week of 47,000, nine-year-olds in the Medicaid system in Florida. I think a Louisiana scientist called Mawson.

shows the opposite. What was that last article? Did you mean that article? That article is by Mawson, M-A-W-S-O-N. Once again, I think this is one of those moments where I hope the Trump administration is watching when we are saying we are a voting block. We are able to now do things that we've never been able to do before. In fact, I think this is one of the biggest milestones we've seen yet. being able to remove someone that is an incumbent sitting in a seat when they don't want to open up science and actually have the type of investigations done that we know need to be done. So I think this is a huge move.

I also think it's an exciting time. And apparently, it would be even more amazing is if he was actually replaced by someone that supported Robert Kennedy Jr. Can you imagine a government that actually gets along and tries to get stuff done. Well, one of the top contenders, here's the headlines on him, Roger. Marshall would love that spot. One of RFA Jr.'s biggest fans in the Senate wants Bill Cassidy's job. The article goes on to say Marshall, unlike Cassidy, is a big Kennedy fan, having founded a Mahat caucus to promote Kennedy's push to combat chronic disease, whereas Cassidy, in confirmation hearings last year, grilled Kennedy on his longstanding skepticism of vaccines, has given a hard time

about vaccine policy ever since Marshall asked God to bless Kennedy and said he'd never seen a person whose words written and spoken have been so misattributed, exaggerated, sensationalized, and taken out of context. I was up close and personal to this during those confirmation hearings, as many of you know, as director of communications for Robert Kennedy Jr. when he ran for president. There's a lot of people in this movement. They're like, oh, it's a shoe in. Bobby's going to get this. I was trying to say, you know, we all need to get focused because there is one vote that is going to decide whether he ever even gets out of committee, and that was Senator Cassidy.

Cassidy made, I think, Robert Kennedy Jr. make some agreements like he wasn't going to be able to change the slogans, vaccines don't cause autism on the CDC page, what forced Robert Kennedy Jr. then to go below and say, this is not a scientific statement. I wonder what will happen in that statement now that the man who forced that demand upon Robert Kennedy Jr. is now gone. Either way, change is in the air, some good, some bad, but we're going to keep on trucking. I've got a great show coming up, but first I want to talk about the fact that the number one selling t-shirt on our store this week was I Sue the Government. This is our new campaign. This is a conversation starter. It celebrates what we do, which is this is of form by the people. We're going after the government, folks. That's where we've had all of our success. That's why these changes are happening.

It's also a great way to give back. So I hope you'll grab yourself some I Sue the Government merch. It's going like hotcakes, so definitely make sure that you get one for yourself as soon as you can at the Highwire store. Here it is again. Because thousands of Highwire fans and medical freedom advocates like you, the informed consent action network has spent the last eight years taking the fight straight to the federal government. Want to know why you're donating to us? Because we changed the world. We change at least our government.

We're America's public health watchdog. ICAN's gone toe to toe suing the biggest regulatory agencies in the country. holding them accountable, challenging mandates, and fighting to protect you and your children's future. We have now sued the State Board of Education. We sued the Health Department. The Pfizer didn't tell you the truth. And then we sued. And guess what? If you've ever donated to ICANN or you're a monthly supporter, you sued the government too. That's right. Your support fuels the lawsuits, your donations make the legal action possible. You're not on the sidelines, you're on the team.

And now there's a bold new way to show it. We're launching our exclusive I Sue the Government line. Hats, teas, bags, and stickers designed for those who believe freedom is worth defending. 23 federal agencies were taking the court. We don't care who you are if you are lying to the public. We're going to get to the bottom of it. Every purchase strengthens the mission, and every time you wear I sue the government, you ignite conversations and send a message that you're committed to real change.

So head to the highwire.com and grab the latest, boldest drop today. When we sue the government together, we're unstoppable. Donate, join the team, and make a statement. Well, I've got a great show coming up and a really awesome guest. She's a doctor. She's an influencer. She's all over social media. And she's getting a lot of attention over this tick outbreak.

that sounds like it's happening in America. Is that happening? Is Lyme disease running rampant? What about Alpha Gal? We're going to talk about all those things. But first, it's time for the Jackson Report. All right, Jeffrey. Well, there's a tug and a push and a poll going on right now.

We've seen Cassidy moving on, but it's not all rosy out there, is it? Yeah, you know, the public may not have received the apology they wanted from those in government that leverage the pandemic to, you know, know, lock school kids down or force a vaccine. But we are seeing some movements here politically and also through the military. This was a statement from the Department of War from their press or their chief Pentagon spokesperson. And it's saying their establishment, the establishing a Department of Wars COVID-19 reinstatement

and reconciliation task force. They're also doing a reinstating service members unjustly discharged under the coronavirus vaccine mandate memorandum. So they've, to date, reinstated about 170. reassessed about 170 warriors soldiers and about 800 have expressed interests that were discharged during COVID for refusing. They've expressed interest in wanting to come back. So this is a big move, at least for the military, to take the lead on this. A lot of other, you know, individual hospitals and schools, they really never stepped up and brought these kids back or these teachers or, you know,

these doctors or nurses. So the military is leading the charge on. this in this space. So it's really good to see this. I agree. You know, what I think is really important about this. And in some ways, it certainly shows us the stark difference between the Trump administration and the Biden administration. I think we all, you know, have questions about, you know, Donald Trump's allegiance to this COVID-19 vaccine, the MRNA technology. He seems to have a soft spot for it. As we've heard, you know, many people around him say, you know, once he puts those Trump golden letters on the side of anything. He kind of owns it for life. But there's a difference, right? I don't even, I think the fact that, you know, he was a part of warp speed,

he got that vaccine out there, but that he's open to having people that don't want to take it. And he's open, you know, and I think it shows us that it was really unlikely we would ever seen a vaccine mandate. He said that. He said that, you know, when Biden was doing that, he said it when he was making it. This will never be forced on you. And I think this is evidence of that position, which is the position our government should take. We're going to make things for you. You know, we're going to test them the way that we think is best, but you are allowed to have your own informed consent and make a decision for yourself. And when they do that for the military, I think that's the highest level. I mean, in a lot of ways our government has seen the military

is, you know, guinea pigs. They sign their lives over. And the fact that this administration says that, yeah, go ahead. They were allowed to turn down, even a vaccine that Donald Trump seems to like. I think it says a lot about this administration, or at least the difference between one that mandates, one that takes away your job, and one that says, hey, it's a free country, you make your choice. And the real battle seems to be going on with the regulatory agencies, FDA, CDC, HHS. And what's happening within those, we saw a judge shut down ASIP, the Trump administration, is currently peeling that decision. But within the FDA, we've seen Marty McCarrey. We just reported on that last week. He is stepping down from the FDA. We have Vinay Prasad just weeks before that. Now we have

Tracy Beth Hogue. This is the New York Times. Just a straight headline here. Top drug regulator is fired from the FDA, but you go to independent journalism to get more of a full story. Here is MD reports. FDA official Tracy Hogue fired after refusing to resign. There's the better headline. And it quotes Tracy Beth Hogue in this article saying this, quote, I said, I didn't want to resign, Hogue told MD reports. an exclusive interview, I said I'm not signing a letter of resignation if it's not my choice. The officials, FDA officials, whom Hogue declined to identify, then informed her she would no longer be working at the agency. She says this, quote, they made it clear that it wasn't their decision.

She said they said it was from someone above them, from someone way above their pay grade. Now, she does go on in fairness in the article to say these people were very nice. There's a lot of emotion. It's a very tight team. It wasn't all adversarial. But what this means for the future of the FDA is really uncertain because we've had the top leadership now there really moving forward on a MAHA agenda that was voted in through Trump and then also Kennedy at HHS is somewhat unclear at this point. So, you know, what we're reporting this, but we hope obviously that the people that take the helm at this point, whether it's interim leadership or the people that will replace these individuals, these key individuals, will continue this movement forward,

this high watermark. Yeah, I'm Tracy Beth Hope. fantastic throughout COVID. He's been really just a true North Star in so many ways. That is disappointing to see that going on. And I think what we're watching is a struggle between commerce and science. And, you know, it's going to be very, very difficult. I think Donald Trump, clearly as a business president, looks like with some of the decision around McCarrie, like, you know, bowing down to tobacco industry, you know, bowing down to big industry, Tracy was probably. I'm going to assume getting in the way of some of that, you know, free flow of, you know, vaping, you know, flavors and things like that that that none of us want to see on the market. But again, it's also commerce and it's a free country. You could see the argument saying people want to smoke. That's their decision as long as they're of legal age. So these are the types of, I think, things that really run, you know, headlong into each other inside of politics. It makes it very, very complicated, you know.

Right. As you and I both know, the Maha movement before it was even coined Maha, it took decades, and it incorporated a lot of different viewpoints from informed consent, medical freedom, vaccinations, pesticides, fluoride. And that movement really culminated over the last couple of years. And we're seeing kind of what's been happening with that. But there's another movement happening. It's coming out of nowhere.

And it has a Maha feel to it from my point of view. And it's the pushback against data centers. and it's going on all over America right now and why America is the hotbed. Well, it can be explained in this graph right here. It's because America throughout the entire world has the most data centers. By far, you're talking over 4,000, not even close in second and third place is UK and Germany, a little over 500. And then China, who were being told we're fighting against to have supremacy for AI. They're not even anywhere close to this.

They're 3, 400-something data centers. So I don't know where that argument's coming from that we're fighting China for supremacy. It seems like from that chart, we already have it. But in the rural counties and cities across America, something is happening right now. And it's happened very quickly. It's been boiling under the surface. Here's a headline here out of the Guardian titled Irresponsible. Backlash as Utah approves data center twice the size of Manhattan.

Goes on to say this. A plan to create one of the largest data centers, a gargantuan project spanning an area more than twice the size of Manhattan, has provoked a furious public back. backlash in Utah amid concerns over a vast energy use and impact upon the state's stress water supply. The facility will require nine gigawatts of power, which is more than the entire state of Utah currently consumes and suck up a significant amount of water in the area that has been hit by severe drought in recent years. Now when people see those numbers like nine gigawatts, you know, I think you and I talked about

this, you're saying what you ask what kind of timeframe is that? It's basically like a it's my understanding it's like a light bulb it requires a hundred you know a hundred watt light bulb it takes 100 watts to just run to operate and that's when these data centers get when this data center particularly gets going and it's full capacity it's nine gigawatts turn it on it just uses it wow and then the water consumption is is really for the majority of that is for the gas plants the natural gas plants that are going to be firing this thing up and using this the cooling systems anywhere from about two to 16 billion gallon of water per year are a couple independent analyses. So it's more of the energy because the actual

data centers are typically closed loop water systems. They still use a ton of water, but it's the, it's the consumption of the energy for these, the gas, power, a natural gas power oil systems for this. But we have Kevin O'Leary. He is backing this O'Leary Digital, and he's funding this project called the Stratus Project in Box Elder County, Utah. He was recently sitting down, with Tucker Carlson, and he had this to say, take a listen. Okay. Even the people in Box Elder, the majority of them want me to hold my shovel and start digging.

And that's basically the debate we're having. How do you know that that the majority of people? Because they voted for unanimously before the Chinese guys. There was a referendum. Like all this crap that's being spewed out. Wait, well, it's old. Yeah. And I may have fallen for some of it.

So you correct me. There was a referendum among citizens or did some like, county board vote. We actually went through the whole process that you have to do by their laws and were granted three to zero. The commissioners of the county said we want to be part of this. The people voted. The people of the county. They're elected officials. That's how you do it. How hard is it for Kevin O'Leary and Amazon and Microsoft and Google to subvert three county commissioners in rural Utah? Tucker, they wanted, they asked us to come.

They asked us to bring $15 billion. They asked and they voted and they, it was a three to zero vote. That's how it had fun. There's not how to do it. Amazon, Google and Kevin O'Leary got three county commissioners in rural Utah on their side. Good work. But can I just ask you really quick? Like, why don't you have a referendum?

Why don't you let all citizens, all taxpayers, the ones who are paying for your project? Why don't they get to, why don't they get to pay a vote? Well, listen, the whole. whole idea of expediting it was so the project didn't go to Jacksonville, Mississippi. That's the competition. And so the government there said, okay, look, we've done, because we haven't lost, we haven't lost our, we have to go through EPA. We have to go through air and quality. We have to go through the water permitting. We have to go through the land construction permitting. Nothing's been lost. There's no, there's no circumventing the process.

Once again, it's a really amazing debate. I watched some of that, and I think Tucker Carl's bringing up really good points. And on the other side, you have this keeping up the Joneses between America and China. And for what? I think is the big question. For what gain? What does this do? Where are we going?

Do we want this? And those funding, these data centers, they're looking for ways around what Tucker's talking about there. Here's a headline AI data centers are targeting unincorporated rural areas to bypass growing bans and regulations. So they don't want to play fair. They don't want to work like the rest of a corporation has to. They're just doing this the best way they can, the easiest entry point. And people like Lake Tahoe, really, this is the high water market of injustice. Here's the headline here. Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents have to find a new power source after their energy source looks to redirect lines to data centers.

So we thought it was bad because customers in these small towns, their energy bills increased because they had to pay for the data center energy. But now Lake Tahoe residents are being told, just figured out on your own, find something new. We're taking this, says the data centers. But Tucker Carlson mentioned a referendum for the people to vote. We reported on this about a month ago, Wisconsin was the first in basically the country,

the nation's first, to have an anti-data-center referendum. So now people there will be able to vote, not just three to zero county officials. So that looks like something that's going to be replicated. It's very easy to replicate it. But like I was talking about this, this across the board, this bipartisan movement that's happening, very quickly. In New Jersey, you have this 60, 60 plus groups just called on New Jersey governor to immediately pause all AI data center projects. It's cut to cross everything, environmental, labor, community organizations, they're all in here, bipartisan support, Democrats, Republicans. And this is now leading into the political race for the midterms, but also possibly for the presidency.

This is going to be a major conversation talking point. And one of the people that has been out front before this was really popular, has been Ron DeSantis in Florida. He just signed SB 484. Desantis signs bill regulating costs, water use tied to large data centers in Florida. So is this preserving the local government's authority over these data centers? It's protecting the water supply and it's capping the electricity bills so the consumers will not have to pay for this. It seems like common sense. But that's Ron DeSantis and other Republicans and Democrats are also jumping into this fray to apparently gain support because this is a major American issue now. Here's one out of Virginia. Republicans prioritize data centers in attempt to flip house seat in Prince William County.

Then we have Pennsylvania. AI data center backlash threatens Pennsylvania GOP incumbents in 2026 election. Georgia's battleground races give a first look at a brewing political storm. It says a multi-billion dollar data center boom is provoking a bipartisan backlash in one of the nation's most pivotal political battlegrounds. Public opposition to this growth is starting to bleed into local and state elections, including a competitive governor's race and a Senate contest that could help decide the balance of power in Washington. Meanwhile, leading Republicans and Democrats in the state are still trying to find their footing on the issue, even as strategists and party officials on both sides of the aisle warn that it's becoming impossible to ignore. Think about when the Maha polling, really the artificial polling, saying you can ignore vaccines until after the midterms because it's toxic. Well, they were wrong.

That's one of the white hot topics across America right now. But these same strategists are now saying it's impossible to ignore data centers. Republican, Democrat, just jump in there. You got to talk about this. Take aside because people want to know. And when you're talking to people like a Kevin O'Leary that are a pro-Data Center, they want these, they want to compete against China. One of the big conversations is, well, it builds all these jobs. Well, maybe. Here's one of the headlines that breaks that argument down. AI Data Center employ very few people. Here's what the numbers show. It says a $10 billion data Center may employ 300 people. The same money manufacturing would support thousands.

What does that gap mean for economies and communities? Well, I think we know. It means unemployment. But really, 4,000 plus data centers, AI taking over, I mean, really everything at this point was we're being told. We only have one chance on this, and we can't get it wrong because of the size and the nature of what is being basically dropped in our lap here. And this is what the New York Times puts in one headline of, you know, the consequences of this. AI bots told scientists how to make biological weapons. It says scientists share transcripts with the times in which chat bots described how to assemble deadly pathogens and unleash them in public spaces.

Kind of dangerous. It's kind of like chat bots telling kids how to commit suicide. There's no guardrails here. And that's another conversation that really hasn't been answered by anybody in government is what kind of guardrails can we put on this? because it doesn't seem to have any, and that's now spilling out into the physical structure of our communities with the data centers. It's almost like it's an invasion, and the people putting these up and poning up the money are fighting against the very people in these rural communities. Listen to Larry Fink here.

Yeah, before you go to Larry Fink, I mean, I think what it feels like, honestly, as I'm reporting on this, I feel like we're a news show just prior to, like, you know, as we've said, it's like it's that pre-fingkings. to the dystopian story, but this is really the Achilles heel of AI. It's almost as lit as if this is the last battle for humanity to stop SkyNet, right, or to stop Terminator, right? This great, I mean, you're going to have 40,000 acres of a brain that is sucking all of our energy resources, all to do what? To run our facial recognition software, to track us, to control us, to enslave us. slave us. And, you know, so obviously there's a couple of people like Lear, they're going to make a ton of money. But how about the rest of the society? Like, we don't want this. It does feel like this is the

last stand if we are going to take seriously every stupid sci-fi movie we watched on this issue. And it's like an octopus on our face with the energy. You know, at first it was just showing up in people's bills. Oh, well, you may have to pay a little bit for the data centers. But like, Tahoe residents are saying, we're just taking it. And it's almost like a hostile takeover. At some point, it's going to be, you know, where? Where is this end? It's just going to be data centers will take your energy by edict of the government. And this, I think, is what the Black Rock CEO, Larry Fink is talking about when he says this, take a listen. Now all of a sudden, Larry Fink is a close associate of Trump's and is working in close concert with Trump to bring about

this AI. So here's Larry Fink speaking to, you know, fellow members of the Epstein class about AI and what this means and his concerns about it. Watch what he's worried about. But even here in the United States, if we're going to be building, let's see, these one-gigawatt data centers, how do we make sure we're not protecting those $50 billion, $75 billion investments? We have to re-look at everything because of the role of drone warfare. Right now, we're looking at it internationally, but, you know, one of my concerns is, could it be a domestic terrorism using a $3,000 drone? So all of these things are actually opportunities, not problems.

Wow. I mean, that's, you know, his concern is really domestic terrorism, apparently, which it's an odd concern when you're going in, buying off three officials to take away the energy and powers essentially for entire town, cities, you know, principalities, it's almost as if he expected there could almost be an uprising. And certainly we're going to have to protect my investment from that. I mean, it's getting weird. It's really getting weird. Let's talk about energy in a different form. And it's interesting too because these data center conversations fly directly in the face of what the public has been taught for decades, which is reduce consumption for

climate change. I want to bring people back to a document from 2019 paid for it by the UK government called the U.K. And in that document, it had benchmark dates of when things should happen in 10-year increments. 2020 to 2029. You can see here at the bottom in green when it comes to food. It says national consumption of beef and lamb drops by 50% along with the reduction in frozen ready meals and air-fraided food imports. Then by 2030 to 20-49, beef and lamb phased out completely.

That's going to be a problem if you're like beef or if you're a farmer or rancher. And we're starting to see that. headline in Denmark, world's first carbon tax on livestock will cost farmers $100 per cow. So see, I'm putting together a picture here, see if you can see if it figured out what it looks like. Amsterdam is doing something interesting. Amsterdam bans advertising for fossil fuels and meat in public spaces. It says in this article, it's translated, the meat, the measure is part of a broader city policy to promote products associated with high carbon emissions less. As a result, advertising campaigns for airline tickets, cruises, and long-haul holiday destinations,

among others, are disappearing from public spaces. Advertisements for meat products such as beef, chicken, pork, and fish are also prohibited from now on. So it's over. Think about that. In a generation, you're going to get people that have no clue these things even exist because they've never seen one. They've probably never been on a long-haul flight because those are gone and beef's gone.

When it becomes advertising, that's one thing, business decisions, that's another thing. But when it becomes public policy, like we saw with COVID, that effect. affects the health of massive swats of people. That's actually what's happening in Denmark, city of Copenhagen. And it says here in this municipal policy, this is their policy for that city. It is the guidance for healthy and more climate-friendly diets

in nursing homes. So this analysis of this municipality's food procurement. It says the guidelines suggest a maximum, maximum amount of 500 grams cooked meat weekly per residents, including no more than 80 to 85 grams, beef, veal, or lamb per week. So 500 grams of cooking meat, that's the equivalent of about 1.1 pounds of meat per week, maximum. Well, we have a problem here in the name of climate change. It may not be in the name of health for these older adults and care homes. Here's basically the limits or what you probably need, the protein

requirements for older adults. And the current recommendations are this. Older adults, may have higher protein needs. That may come a shock to most people than their younger counterparts due to the loss of lean body mass with aging. Using one gram per kilogram of body weight per day as a starting point, the recommended daily allowance

should consider other factors that impact protein needs. So you want to talk about malnutrition, chronic disease. How many people of chronic disease are in care homes or older? Injuries, kidney function, physical activity, If you start moving around more, you need more protein. So by the standards of Denmark, you'd only receive about 25% of the daily meat allowance recommended

for a 150 pound person. If you're over 150 pounds or if you're moving around more, you're out of luck because that's the maximum you're getting in Denmark. And then what happens? So there's something called, this is a new review article and it talks about something called sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a natural loss of muscle mass as you get older. And it talks about the role of protein quality in amino acid composition in

composition in preventing sarcopenia. So trying to slow that muscle loss. It says individuals with sarcopenia are more vulnerable to adverse health outcomes, including mobility, impairment, high risk of falls and fractures, and the onset of progression of chronic diseases. Additionally, sarcopenia contributes to the progressive loss of functional autonomy and dependency significantly affected. the quality of life. These complications result in an increase in hospitalizations, greater morbidity

immortality, as well as high cost for the health care system. So what are we doing here? Is this climate-based diet leading into like a slow-motion eugenics? Because it's really, it's about energy. It's about meat. It's about muscle loss. And this brings us, and Del, I know you're going to have a guest on right after this talking about alpha-gal syndrome and ticks. This brings us into that conversation, too. This was just last summer, a bunch of bioethicists. got together and wrote this article titled Beneficial Bloodsucking. We covered this before, but I want to remind people, it says this. Herein, we argue that if eating meat is morally impermissible, then efforts to prevent the spread of tick-borne alpha-gal syndrome are also morally impermissible. So let it go.

Just let it spread. It says it is presently feasible to genetically edit the disease-carrying capacity of ticks. If this practice can be applied to ticks carrying alpha-gal syndrome, then promoting the proliferation of tick-borne Alfgal syndrome is morally obligatory. We have to do it. We have to do it. I want to finish up with these last couple headlines here because what kind of world, what kind of future are we creating with climate diets, with bioethicists saying we can engineer ticks to make people allergic to meat and then sprinkling some of the most popular drugs ever have been the GLP1 weight loss jabs and drugs. This is the Wall Street Journal. Is the Weight Loss Drug Revolution causing a frailty epidemic. They're talking about the significant loss and rapid loss of muscle mass.

We'll go to the Lancet and finish up here talking about these drugs. It says muscle matters the effects of medically induced weight loss on skeletal muscle. Studies suggest the Lancet says muscle loss with these medications, as indicated by decreases in fat-free mass ranges from 25 to 39% of total weight loss over 36 to 72 weeks. The substantial muscle loss can be largely attributed to the magnitude of weight loss rather than by the independent effect of the GLP1 receptor agonists, although this hypothesis must be tested. So think about that. You're reducing people's meat.

If anybody is older and they're taking these GLP1 drugs, they can be losing up to 39% of their muscle mass. That's very difficult to gain back as you get older because you're fighting naturally against a sarcopenia-like condition. These are really big conversations. We need to have it as a nation, not just being able to be. able to deliver these drugs cheaply. I know that's the current government stance. But what's this going to do to this many people? And are we going to adopt a climate-based meat regimen like Denmark? I mean, we could be one politician away from this. This is why we have to report on these things and put it in people's faces. I agree. I mean, it's sort of a stroke of insanity. And again,

it's people with an agenda forcing their will on other people. If you don't want to eat meat, all power too. You want to be a vegetarian? I'm fine with that. But it's when you start sort of inflicting your belief system on somebody else and how they live and how they were raised and how they want to raise their kids. I think this is one of the things that we really stand for here at the High War is your right to choose. You're right to have parental rights. You're right to be making the decision for your children and your family.

Not the government. It's not what they're there for. So great reporting, Jeffrey. Really appreciate that. And lots to look out for. It seems like we all better start looking at these data. centers, especially they're going to use our taxpayer money, which means I'm paying for it to imprison myself so that you can take away my energy and then put in an AI system that takes away my job. I mean, the whole thing really lacks a lot of support, lacks a lot of intelligence, other than we just got to beat China. Beat China at what? In fact, I was funny when you're reporting on that. I just thought, you know, does a dictatorship or whatever China calls itself, you know,

communism or whatever, but, you know, does a government that controls its people, need to bring in AI? Do they even want AI? I think they'd be the most aware. Wait a minute, that's just going to take my job. I want to control the people. Why would have AI controlling the people? You know, it takes one to no one. They know what AI is going to do. I don't even think China is going to get into this race. So, super fascinating. All right, Jeffrey, I appreciate it. I'll see you next week. All right, thank you. All right. Well, this week's legal update is a letter that we have sent. I can calls on CDC to update vaccine contraindications and Cautions. All Americans deserve to have a doctor who can appropriately counsel them on their

individual risk to a particular vaccine and who is willing to write an exemption when the vaccine is contraindicated. That is true informed consent. So again, pushing pressure upon Robert Kennedy Jr. This administration to make sure that we are a free nation. I think that this medical freedom discussion, as I've said over and over and over again, is really a quintessential element of freedom and it's something that affects all of us, which is why I like talking about this topic, because if we don't control our own bodies, then we aren't free. It's just that simple. In this country, then we have abandoned the dream of our founding fathers. I don't think anyone wants to admit that, but boy, we are getting really scarily close in so many ways. As Jeffrey said,

we're one election away from joining the rest of the insane world that will suddenly say, nope, no more meat for you, no more advertising meat, no more advertising gasoline, going to make you sit inside of a 15-minute city. I mean, it's happening all around the world. And frankly, there's only so much you can do in a Trump administration, which is obviously not moving as smoothly as we'd like it to, or as quickly as we'd like it to. But even what it is doing can change overnight with another election. You know what doesn't change overnight is when you set precedence in courtrooms. When you win back medical freedom, if, you know, we managed to pull back, you know, West Virginia and give them a religious exemption so they can opt out of the vaccine program.

ICA's legal team secures preliminary injunction West Virginia Board of Education Lawsuit. This is an ongoing battle. We have won the original case, but now it's on appeal. So we're fighting for our lives against the appeal against that decision there. But this is why we are so focused right now. I just see this as let's just assume we only have this administration right now to get our work done. We've got a year or two. If you could buy the lawyer as good as Aaron Siri, then invest in them too. But I haven't seen them. I haven't seen anyone more successful than we

are here at the Highwire. And I'm having to say to Aaron, I don't know if we can afford to take on another case in that state, Aaron, which means someone else might do it, good on them. They'll mean well, but they don't have Aaron's talent. They don't have his background. Most of these lawyers can be their first try at it. And when they lose, that precedence gets working against us. I would love to say, Aaron, take every case that's out there that you think is good. We're going to fight for America, and we know one of these is going to go up to the Supreme Court. The only way we can do that is we need the funding to know that we can do that, which is why we need you sponsoring. Look at all the work we've done.

So far, 146 federal lawsuits have been filed by us. I can. Funded by you. 516 document productions have been secured. 8 million pages released by the government and 23-fed. agencies have been taken to court. It's an astounding record, but I, you know, what difference does it make if we end up losing the whole thing? If we lose our freedom? I don't think we've built this castle big enough. I don't think we've built a foundation strong enough to withhold a flipping

of a switch. We're close, but you could put us over the top. And it's a great time to do it with our $1.5 million match. We have a couple of great sponsors to ICAN that said, hey, up until June, 30th, we will cobble together and for every dollar you bring in, we're going to match it up to $1.5 million. That means your $10 becomes 20. Your $100 becomes $200. Your $1,000 becomes $2,000. Your $10,000 donation, which is tax deductible, by the way, becomes a $20,000 donation to our work.

Really would just love to have everybody involved in this right now. if you are sponsoring us or have been donating, I want to thank you. Look at that record we've achieved. Can you imagine what we can do if we can just keep our pedal to the metal? We're going to make it easy. You can just go to the top of the page anytime

and say you want to donate to the high wire. We showed you the QR code for the $1.5 million match. We'd love to become a recurring donor. Just sign up for how much you would like to contribute to this cause every single month. $26 a month would be great. A dollar is great. $5, $10, $100, just depends on where you're at.

But I just want you to sit. Take a moment today and ask yourself, how important is medical freedom? How important is sovereignty and be able to control my own body and make choices from my own child? It's not a mystery anymore. I mean, you know, if you want to donate, you're listening, just type in, you can text 72022 and type in the word donate. But it's not like we don't know what it looks like when we don't have those rights. look how quickly they disappeared during COVID. You don't think someone, some masterminds out there dreaming it up again?

Do you think, you know, all of the social media companies and all of the Silicon Valley companies that made vaccine passwords, you think that's gone away? You think all of that digital ID happening at TSA isn't going to be used to, I don't know, maybe keep us from getting on the plane at some point? Because maybe what? Our social credit scores down or we don't have the vaccine we need it because it's all going to be locked in the digital cloud run by a 50,000-acre AI brain watching every move we make. Highwire is one of the few people in groups that isn't just, we're not just talking about it.

We actually do something about it. So I hope you'll help us. It's what makes ICANN possible and our educational program, the High Wire. You know, speak in social media. If you're on social media right now over the last few weeks, you realize that, you realize that, that there's a new, you know, rain coming down. It's a rain of these tiny little bugs that burrow into your skin. It feels like they're everywhere.

In numbers we've never seen before, they're growing, they're crawling all over everything. You can barely see the sky. It's tick season. There's so many ticks. The Northeast have seen an explosion in tick populations. Bro, there are ticks everywhere. I've been outside for five seconds, and I see a tick. Look at how many ticks are stuck on this tape.

In 30 years, I've never had to deal with these many ticks. I'm out here, mushroom hunting, and I found the tick box. There's ticks all over that thing. Millions of them. But they're on our top deal. What are you doing? Public health officials are warning people about an unusually active spring for tick bites. They've seen a 25% increase in visits to ERs.

across the country for tick bites. Picks are going to run rampant this year, which means more cases of Lyme disease and other awful diseases that they carry. The tick can transmit up to like 20 different disease causing microbes. And so if you have like two or three or four of those in one tick bite, it creates a confusing set of symptoms

that doctors have trouble diagnosing. Lone Star Tick is what gives you this bite and this produces something called alpha gal and it makes you allergic to red meat. This alpha gal syndrome, when people are getting bit by these very distinct ticks with white dots on them, they're not able to eat red meat anymore. Reactions from alpha gale syndrome range from mild to deadly. Now that wear in tick season, she expects to see patients every day.

Pfizer is officially fast-tracking a new Lyme disease vaccine, but ticks are basically nature's dirty needles. They carry a cocktail of other infections like Bartonella, Babesia. A lime only shot won't even touch that. The natural immunity and results. resilience is always the better way. So I guess get used to wearing long pants when you go outside. I've never seen anything like this.

What's going on in this world? Well, if you are spending any time on social media over the last few weeks, this is a huge skin crawling topic where it just feels like we are under, you know, raining down its ticks. And then, of course, all of the different diseases associated with it. I want to have this conversation with Dr. Jess Petros. She is a functional medicine doctor that's treating a lot of the issues that come from tick bites. So it's my honor pleasure to be joined by her now.

Jess, thanks for taking the time today. Hey, thanks for having me. I'm honored. All right. So to begin with, like I really, when I want to do this episode, I am not really into making people panic even more, but I want to be realistic. in your practice in the work that you do, and we'll get into that. But do you have a sense that there are more tick bites happening? Are there more ticks in our environment this year?

Is there more, you know, disease from those ticks? Or is it one of the situations where, you know, because we're all more aware of it, maybe there's more diagnosis? What are your thoughts on that? I do. I am proud that we are getting more light and education. to Lyme disease. I mean, even the CDC themselves said there was going to be 300 to 400,000 cases per year. In the last couple years, they've been saying that. So, yeah, I've seen

definitely more patients come to the office with Lyme-like symptoms. And the tests do reveal there's been evidence of either an acute or chronic infection. A lot of these people do have things like migrating joint pains, brain fog, and fatigue, which comes from Lyme and parasites that their co-infections. So yeah, I'm definitely seeing an increase this year. Wow. Okay. And so let's talk about Lyme. At least, you know, when I was on the doctor's television show, I wanted to cover Lyme. So this would be back around 2014 or 2015. At that point, I remember one of the doctors said, the jury still out of Lyme disease exists. And so as we started preparing for this, my question is, are we out of that confusion. Are we are we now in a world where all doctors admit Lyme disease exists or is there still a

gray area here? What is the what's happened with the conversation around the disease itself? I do think there is a bit of a debate between conventional medicine and integrative medicine. And then you have the terrain medicine too that has a different perspective as well. So in conventional medicine, they absolutely agree that acute Lyme disease exists. If you get bit by a you have symptoms or erythema migrains, the bull's eye rash, then that is diagnostic for acute Lyme disease. No one argues that. But the disagreement begins with chronic Lyme disease. Okay. The integrative doctor will say, yeah, chronic Lyme, we see it all the time. We mash it up with symptomatology. This exists. Conventional medicine says no. This is more of a post-lime

disease syndrome where the antibodies, the nervous system is so stuck in overdrive. And then, the patients are still reacting. So there is quite a schism between these two fields. And then you know, just to clarify that, just to close, so what you're saying is that there's a belief that this is a chronic infection in more of the functional integrative space, mainstream medicine that says there's no longer an infection, this is just your immune reaction is still hyper-stimulated, hasn't calmed down. That's where there's a, is that, okay, all right, got it.

Interesting. Exactly. Yeah. So there's a bit of a debate there. And that, of course, affects treatment and how quickly people get diagnosed and get to the root cause. Are we, you know, Lyme, I know some people talk about being on heavy antibiotic regiments for years sometimes. It sounds horrible. I can't imagine what that does to your gut biome. But are we getting solutions that are maybe less. toxic than that now? I certainly hope so. You know, the medical doctors that I see coming to my practice that are leaving the conventional system are looking for other ways to treat things besides antibiotics because we all now know that, you know, you build resistance to these. They may palm the gut microbiome, which sometimes cannot be recovered. So within the integrative world, I myself try to do everything holistically with herbs.

And there's a certain order of operations that you want to take the patient's body in to safeguard it, make sure it's prepped and ready. A lot of people, if you just go in, even with antibiotics, which I disagree with, and especially chronic Lyme disease. But even then, if you just go in and you just throw something in there to kill and eradicate something, people are going to react and they're probably not going to have a good experience all the time. And you're right, chronic antibiotics, they just don't work for chronic Lyme disease and they ruin people's microbiome. So you use more of an herbal approach. So there are solutions to Lyme.

You're feeling like you're having more success. So maybe it's not like the death sentence it sort of seemed like. I mean, it's not a death sentence, but we're just talking about like real chronic illness for a very long time. But now there's this alpha gal syndrome, which is this allergy to meat, which I always find, you know, especially. Well, let's just talk about what is it? Do you see this? Is this real? I guess my first question.

Are there really people that can't eat meat? Heck yeah. Absolutely, this is real. And conventional doctors don't really know about this very much. I have a couple patients right now in my practice with it. And so I definitely have seen it. And if you're out there in the social media world, you'll see people on their claim. I cured this.

I put this in remission. So first of all, what is it? Alpha-gal is an IgE-mediated allergic response or anaphylaxis sometimes, right? So it's systemic allergic to this carbohydrate that is in the tick saliva. It's called galactose Alpha-13 galactos. And unfortunately, primates and humans don't have this in our bodies. So if this gets in our body insensitive individuals, and we'll talk about who that might be, might have a big, huge immune reaction or response to that thing that's never been in our body

before, that's never been seen before. And their mass cells are primed by that IgE reaction, and they kind of freak out. And they degranulate or open up and release these noxious substances called histamine and tryptase and prostaglandins. And if this is a full body systemic response, not only can it cause hives and itching and GI upset and all those allergic responses, it can actually cause it. systemic anaphylaxis reaction. Wow. When you say our bodies have never come in contact with this, given that I think ticks have been on this planet as long as human beings have, it leans me to

think that this is a newer phenomenon. Do we know how old this is? Because obviously, you know, I think a lot of us have conspiracy theories around these things. We, you know, we want to talk about Lyme disease. being a bio weapon, even Marty Macquarie while at FDA, of course, he's since retired from that position, but came out and said he believed that Lyme disease is created in a bioweapons lab and was released either accidentally on purpose, but its source is not nature, but a laboratory in a world where the world economic forum and all of these globalist thinkers really believe that an end of meat eating is critical. I think that I'm suspect to where this disease comes from. And when you say this tick saliva, we've never come in contact with it. Well, certainly

we should have, if ticks have been around as long as we have. So do you have any thoughts on that? Yeah, absolutely. I would say, let me correct myself, clinically humans, apes, other primates, do not have the alpha gau sugar in their cells. So in some people who are primed, they might have an allergic reaction. But you're right, Lyme disease was coined in 1981, but we found spirochetes and those bacteria in a man that was frozen from 5,300 years ago. Okay. So we have been exposed to this for a really long time.

So the whole theory about is this bio-weapons created or not, it's just that. theory. We don't have any way to prove that exactly, right? But there's a lot of suspicion based on the fact that there was definitely research into this in the Cold War. We know that they were weaponizing ticks back then even or knew about it doing tick research back then. We also know at Fort Dietrich. They were having a lot of animal research, bio-weapons research at that time. There have been reports and anecdotal evidence, you know, people who work there saying they were researching on ticks. This has been denied. publicly by the government.

Okay? So we may never know. However, there were lots of weird things that happened over on Plum Island, where there was the animal research program. And, you know, they would, if deer would swim the 13 miles over from Lyme, Connecticut, they would shoot animals on the premise, which led to a lot of conspiracy theories that started. The first place Lyme showed up in 1981 was Lyme, Connecticut, hence the name. And since then, it's grown over.

popularity and broaden its territory. And we've really seen an increase in cases. So there is a question about its diagnosis and how the body responds to it. There's a lot of questions about where it came from. I don't know if we'll ever know, no doubt, honestly. You know, you've obviously doing some social media around this issue. And have you looked into this idea that there's like farms finding tick boxes and that there's like this conspiracy that someone is spreading ticks on purpose. Have you heard anything about that? Absolutely. Have I heard it? You know, I am on social media too. I try to educate publicly on there. So, you know, if you were even on there, I guess, in the last month, you've seen the stories that people have posted about finding these little, they almost look like

cement shaped boxes out in private farmland in the Midwest. I did a deep dive on this. And, you know, publicly, Snopes, everyone else online is saying, this is not true. This started from someone creating a video that said they heard farmers were saying this and it went viral. But, you know, I don't always trust what the public media says. I don't know who does. Yeah. So. Me neither.

Yeah. So when I reached out to farmers, one farmer said that they were bait boxes. Now, I'm as curious as you are about what bait boxes are. Yeah. But apparently there, who would put, even if you were trying to collect the ticks and get them off your property, why would someone do this on private land? So I have a lot of questions about that theory as well. And I will say, we'll leave it at this, you know, because I don't have any direct evidence. But it does behold the government who is making a vaccine for Lyme disease, who is.

is making you know the Gates Foundation is making money off of fake meat right they have publicly said that meat is morally impermissible and it's really killing the planet and so with his perspective there is an incentive if you will to perhaps keep people ill well I certainly think that I mean that is how I look at it is there a direct correlation I always say I'm gonna you know I I don't make statements we cannot prove. I'm with you. I've heard the, you know, I've heard tick boxes.

It does sound like a lot of people are seeing more ticks, but I find it ironic that seeing more ticks the year that it looks like we're really starting to get focused on the Lyme vaccine again. Can you tell me a little bit about this vaccine that they miraculously got just in time as the same time as the tick explosion? Yeah, it's interesting. have that do that and they have 13 hontovirus vaccines in preparation right now too interesting yeah so you know that what worries me about this vaccine Dale is it's similar to the

vaccine they created in the early 90s Lyme wrecks that targeted this one protein on the Lyme bacteria this vaccine does something similar it's like the point to the 2.0 version of this if you will okay original vaccine was pulled from the market due to public scrutiny there was a class action lawsuit against it and they said that it caused arthritis in some of the patients that took it so words of the wise about this new vaccine that targets a similar protein called OPSA okay O SPA and this is a surface protein on the bacteria when you take the vaccine your body makes antibodies to that protein now ops A on the bacteria it helps it get entry into the human cells so when the

tick bites you your the ops A helps the bacteria get entry inside of your body. Once inside the body, the bacteria stops expressing it. Okay? So the vaccine doesn't work if you already have Lyme disease for that reason. However, so if you have the vaccine, a tick bites you, though your body has antibodies that go and kill, then don't let the bacteria ever into your bloodstream. It kills it within the tick's gut. So that's how this vaccine works. It's very similar to the one they came out with in the 90s. And my problem, with this one is it doesn't touch the co-infections, which are oftentimes much more virulent

than the actual Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia. It only covers six species when there are many more worldwide. We know this. And it does have the risk of autoimmunity. It does look like a part of human tissue. They say they've removed this little excerpt from gene splicing that causes the autoimmunity from the first vaccine. But this again is all speculation. They didn't even meet the primary endpoint in the study for this

vaccine and Pfizer still pushing forward with it. And the original ones that were pulled, was there real harm? And was there was a ninth? So the 90s one obviously didn't make it either. So we lost one in 2002. And then in the 90s was that a was that did that cause also? It was in the 90s, but lost in 2000. That's that's okay. Yeah. And there's a lot of speculation. If you look online, they'll say that it was pulled due to public scrutiny. There was a public distrust and lack of interest in the vaccine. But if you dig just a little bit deeper, you'll see that there was a lawsuit. And there were people who claimed that it caused arthritis and arthritis after they got the vaccine.

So for a little bit of hope, and let's say they're, I mean, look, ticks are freaky anyway. I think every, you know, I got one in Colorado years ago. It was like a kid. It's been a while. you're always wondering did that do something did that get me is there a way to know when a tics bit you that it did infect you with one of these things and or are there things you do if you've been bit to mitigate that harm that it's causing anything because when i saw in that report people going to the er with tick bites it hardly seems like an er issue we used to just stick a match on it and

have it yank its head but maybe we're all panicked like get you Get it out of me. So what do we do if you've been bit? Is there anything you can do there to help the situation? Absolutely. So, you know, people who already have predisposed histamine issues are the biggest people at risk for AlphaGal. So, and if you get bit, your body will have an immune reaction if it sees the problem, you'll have a big, maybe rash that is clearing in the middle, called a bullseye rash. You may have something that looks like a huge, maybe swollen bug bite. Use a couple weeks into it. You may start to notice you have a slight fever. You may have some joint pain, some flu-like symptoms, aches and pains. And that usually is the primary toxicosis, right, or infection. And then that's really when you can jump on top of things. If you can get this acutely, you'll feel a whole heck

of a lot better later on if this doesn't go systemic and chronic on you. You know, the other things you can do is if you see that you've been bit or you pull the tick off, make sure you get everything out all at once pull it straight out do not twist it and make sure every part of the tick is out of the skin what I really love having on hand is a binder and you can make a binder pulsus first of all there's an herb called andrographus a N-D-R-G-R-A-P-H-I-S andrographus is great you can get it topically you can put it on the bite you can also make a binder pulsed it a binder is a molecular sticky substance that pulls things out like a sponge There are things like diatomaceous earth or phobic and humic acid or zealite or bentonite clay

Mix it with a little bit of filtered water make a paste slap it on there and let it dry Do that multiple times throughout the day that can actually pull the toxin from the skin Acutely if you catch it on time and for most people I say listen Conventionally they'll tell you six eight hours a tick is attached so you have to worry about me personally I'm gonna say two hours and beyond because if there's co-infections or other parents parasites within that tick besides the Borrelia pathogen, you might be infected a little bit quicker than you want. Now, is there, do you have recommendations to keep the ticks from biting me? If I'm going to be, you know, there's parts of the, you know, nature all around the East Coast.

People want to go on a hike. They want to, so what is, you know, what are some tricks to, to give yourself a little bit more time so that you can get home, clean off, you know, know, whatever, or keep them from really digging into you. Absolutely. So, you know, there's a, there's like a little do-it-yourself spray you can make, and I'm going to give everybody the full gamut, everything you can do. Okay. So first of all, if you have yard, get trimmed and neat,

because they don't like open sunny spots. They like a lot of shade. And especially if you look at it in a tick-infested area, which they're everywhere, but still the northeast is the worst. So they really hate lemon oil and eucalyptus oil. Hate it. This is even recommended by the CDC of all people. So geraniums, yeah, lemon oil, eucalyptus, clove, time.

All of these will really help drive ticks away and curb them from wanting to bite you. The other thing you can do is eating sulfur. So, you know, we don't like the way sulfur smells. Guess what? Neither do ticks. It actually comes out your pores when you eat it. So MSM, sulfur-based things, even B vitamins. have anecdotally been told to help heat ticks away.

I myself have noticed I don't get tick bites when I've eaten sulfur MSM. So it's a really nice tip to kind of keep them away prophylactically. The other thing you want to do is if you are cleaning your yard and keeping it trim and the ticks are still a problem, you can sprinkle diatomaceous earth out in the yard. And this really works until it rains. And this keeps them at a perimeter as well.

And if you have enough land, you may want to consider chickens or guinea hens who like to eat some of the ticks. So I guess my best recommendation is a do-it-yourself oil spray eating sulfur. If you have the land for chickens and hens, get it and get you a bag of diatomaceous earth. All right, I love it. And then, you know, do you have a recommendation like a treatment at home for, you know, handling lime or of these things? Or do you say get to a doctor? What's the, you know, what are the, you know, are the things we can do holistically to take care of those types of issues? Absolutely. There are lots of herbs that are extremely efficacious against Lyme disease.

Things like Catsclaw, Wormwood, clove, Black Walnut Hall, they're at Paldiarko. There are so many different things that are helpful for Lyme disease within the holistic space and are efficacious against its co-infections as well. So caught acutely, holistic herbs, in my opinion, although not it's routinely studied because there isn't a benefit to studying things like that financially. I have noticed that they work just as great when the body's prepped for them. And often the body responds better because they don't have the side effects. Yeah. Awesome. There are lots of different things you can do. Binders as well, opening, pathways, sweating, all that kind of stuff, really important.

What you had mentioned very quickly earlier on that there's other, there's people that also think that this is a terrain issue and that they see this differently from that perspective. So for those people that think that, you know, it's a terrain issue, how do you address that perspective? Listen, Alex, Zach is one of my friends. So I've routinely looked into this. I've read the contagion myth by Dr. Thomas Cowan, and I have to say these are extremely

intelligent people I respect, and they have a very valid point. And it's very logical. They've really examined it. These aren't not quack, a fringe people who don't know what they're talking about. As a medical doctor, I have to vouch for that. And I have to say in my practice style, I practice terrain medicine because it works. You can't just go eradicating a pathogen with one pill. I think the body's going to work better for that.

What if even out in nature and we are part of the ecosystem, mold digest bacteria. You know, bacteria and mold digest organic waste. Parasites inside fish studies show that they are eating heavy metals. So what if the root cause is actually toxins and trauma? And the pathogens are there for cleanup. So if we're doing things like antibiotics, we're actually harming people more than helping them.

when really what would be helping is regulating someone's nervous system, making sure they can go to the bathroom, they could sweat, their liver and bile are moving, and then finally that their body is prepped and things that don't belong there can leave as soon as they enter the body because the body is open. That is terrain medicine. And I'll tell you what, Dale, as a practitioner

that sees people every single day, I'm on a break right now, seeing patients. I will tell you that when you do that with people, they need half the time for a detox and they go into remission almost every single time, because I'm not the doctor, the body is. And I just move things out of the way and let the body heal itself.

Well, that sounds fantastic. If people wanna follow the work that you're doing, probably on social media, how do we check out what you've got going on? Absolutely. So you guys can see me at DR, J-E-S-S-S-Pyodd. I give a lot of free information on social media over on Facebook and TikTok and Instagram.

Instagram being my biggest. If you guys wanna see my website, I have lots of blogs over there. It's Dr. Jess MD.com, including why I surrendered my California medical license. And then I have Wellnessplus.com, which is a do-it-yourself platform. I also see patients virtually right now. It's at Dr.Jess.com.

All right, awesome. Dr. Jess, thank you for, actually it felt like there's a little hope to this. Maybe we can handle these things. Keep up the great work. And I look forward to having you on again. Thanks so much. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it.

All right, take care. All right. Well, last week, we told you that Verizon, you know, for some reason, have been blocking people's ability to see our website of an inconvenient study. I don't know what happened. Many, many of you texted in and showed us what was going on. And then within, I would almost say by the end of the day, I started getting reports. Wait a minute.

I think my Verizon accounts work. And then the next day. And then I finally checked it. So look, it looks like it's a power to the people moment. And all you have to do is say we're watching you. And maybe a little thread of a lawsuit goes a long ways. But right now, currently, as we're saying this, you can see an inconvenient study, no matter what platform or what server you're using.

And I'm about to go travel all over Europe. I'm heading, you know, I'm Italy. I'm going to France and Poland to share this film and get more people to be sharing it. because I think it's one of the greatest tools we've ever made, certainly in the work that we do here at the high wire and with the informed consent action network. We're always looking for that perfect way for you to hook that friend that maybe they're just opening up a little bit.

Maybe they're starting to ask some questions. There's nothing better than an inconvenience study as a gift to those people. And so I'd love it if you would check it out online. Go to an inconvenience study.com. I'd love it if you would just grab a little deck of those cards. because you know you come up to me all the time and say Del what can I do share the message that's what you can do the more people we enroll the more people that start understanding the truth about what's going on the larger our voting body is the more people that are talking about it and it just spreads like wildfire around the world and then suddenly we're the majority opinion and our government shifts and our politics ship and our you know legal system shifts that's what you can do. can do so grab yourself an inconvenient study set of cards and if you haven't seen her and don't

even know what I'm talking about here's an inconvenient study the health of American children is in crisis when we're talking about an autoimmune disease crisis shouldn't we look closest at the one product designed to alter our immune system for life there'd be one easy study to rule it out compare vaccinated children to unvaccinated children as fate would have it del met Marcuservos. He agreed to do the study. This could be one of the most valuable studies in the field. 4.47 times the amount of speech disorders. Learning issues, developmental delays.

Over four times more likely to have an asthma diagnosis. Five and a half times risk amongst the unvaccinated group, they were zero. If this is true, we are systematically making kids sick, very sick. Only one problem. They're not going to publish it. They left us with no choice. I'm going to bring hidden cameras so that no matter what happens at this dinner, I can prove it happened.

Hey, go on, Matt. What do you think about the study you guys have done? I think it's a good study. In a way they could do the study better? Not that I think. I put it out just how it is. It's the right thing to do, but I just don't want to. Somebody's going to come back and they're going to say the study is flawed.

The unpublished Henry Ford analysis is fundamentally flawed. Because there's a political agenda. I'm not going to do it. Publishing something like that. I might as well retire, I'd be finished. Sick. It's really sick. I mean, I'll guess like really original. This is an inconvenient study for the entire vaccine agenda.

Well, look, AIS, an inconvenient study has just been a, you know, hugely successful worldwide, about 130 million views so far. And that was without Verizon viewers. So please let your friends know if they've been on Verizon. Check it out again. If you had difficulty seeing it, you can now. Watched, of course, last week we said, let us know if you're having this issue and the results were outrageous. Amongst Verizon users, yes, 91.8% of you said this was of all cell users. I guess we're having issues.

I guess a lot of us were on Verizon. And then when you went to other Wi-Fi providers, 74% said that worked. So that was the issue. It's apparently cleaned up. Certainly keep us posted. But I want to say this. I was just speaking at an event where there's about, I don't, 700, maybe 1,000 people in the room. And what I asked, how many people had seen an inconvenience study, it was really about, I'd say, 10% of the room had seen it.

That just should not be. This film is one of those films that explains something so clearly in about 70 minutes. It is so clear, so concise. And, you know, even though you think, oh, I've seen that information, I get, I know what that's about. It's not about you knowing it. It's about how well is that information packaged so that you can help wake up those people that you think maybe are open to growing and evolving.

Anyway, I'm really excited. I still love all of the traction. We've had this film, and now I'm going out to Europe as I've been talking about. In fact, we did pre-tape this show just two days ago so that I could get on a plane. Because right now, as I'm speaking, in Milan, We're at UCI Cinemas, Bia Coca, I guess, is, I don't know how you say that.

But we're screening right there. And then on May 22nd, we'll be in Padua and then in Rome on May 24th. So that's Italy. And then, of course, I'm going to continue on to Paris on June 6th. We're having screenings on June 7th. We're in Paris. Then Leon on June 7th also. So if you're out there, I really am excited that I get to come.

come out and meet the high wire worldwide. I mean, I say it every single time I start this show. Wherever you are out there in the world, we know this matters to you too. This is not a phenomenon. This lie around vaccines and safety, the lies around poisoning us, the lies around global control

is affecting every one of us, some nations more than others, but I'm really looking forward to coming out and meeting you. So if you're anywhere close, in the area. I hope you'll come to these spectacular events. And I promise you, if you're in the room, I will stand to meet every single one of you. I can't wait for that opportunity. There's a lot to think about right now. I think that it's not a time, it's certainly not a time to go to sleep.

I've been saying that. But now this vaccine issue really important. I hope Robert Kennedy Jr. is able to get some really great studies done in this next bit of time. We need to get to the bottom of this. What would happen if you did the Henry Ford study on the database that contains all the medical records of America? What would happen if we had all the medical records of Japan or Paris or Italy to run vaccinated versus unvaccinated? How are they doing? How do you think that would turn out? That work has to happen. But while we're like reaching some victory there, this AI thing and these data centers, it's pure madness. Why is my bill going up at all? I mean, it used to be when you were going to build a mall or something, you got to pay to put in highways so that you can move traffic and not destroy a town.

How is it they're able to put these things in and not have their own power delivery systems that they bring, maybe even benefiting us, lowering our costs, not raising them or taking our energy away? So many things we're covering here that I think are just immensely critical. But as we've shown, if you throw a little money at it, you throw a great lawyer in, you know, an attorney into a courtroom, you can make changes. If you stand in front of a capital, you can make changes. That's what makes this show different. We're activists. We're not just complainers. We're not just sitting and whining in our living rooms.

We get out. We do something about it. And we are starting to really flex our muscle. To Senator Cassidy, thank you for your time. served. I wish you could have been a little more open-minded because I think you could have done some great things with Robert Kennedy Jr. It looked like there was a little window of hope with you when you recognized maybe you were wrong about a blanket hepatitis B vaccine, especially on every mother, the most of them, the greater majority of them that are not positive and they're never going to have

children at risk. But you just didn't seize that opportunity. You didn't seize the opportunity to have a real conversation, which is unfortunate. And so, for you. For you just, for you just didn't seize the opportunity to have a real conversation, which is unfortunate. And so for that, Senator Cassidy, I just have to say, I do. But look, next week, this is what we do, right? We flex our muscles, we tell the truth. And next week, a very special show, I'm going to be telling this truth from Italy. It'll be live from Italy on the high wire. I'm hoping to have some Italian scientists or maybe lawyers to talk about what all of this is like in Italy. So you're not going to miss that show.

Very special. Coming up. See you next week from Italy on the High Wire.
