| Oh, there's bad news for fans of living because health secretary RFK junior just pulled $500 million in funding for vaccine development. | ||
| Now we have ten more months of this show, and I want to give a measured, nonpartisan response here. | ||
| Thank you, you roid-addled Neff O'Connor. | ||
| Now, specifically, specifically., Bobby Jr. is nicking 22 projects that use mRNA technology. | ||
| But that's the latest vaccine technology. | ||
| That's like saying, kids, I'm turning off the GPS. | ||
| We're going to make our way to Six Flags using the stars. | ||
| And daddy the sextant. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Crank down. | ||
| Crank down windows in daddy's car. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| All right, there you go. | ||
| Colbert has no talent. | ||
| I mean, I could take anyone here. | ||
| I could go out into the beautiful streets and pick up a couple of people that do just as well. | ||
| or better they get higher ratings than he did he's got no talent yesterday yesterday rfk jr tried to defend the ends defensible most of these shots are for flu or covid but as the pandemic showed us mrn a vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract counterpoint you you row kill munching red eyed human swim gym You're going to kill people. | ||

|
Why? | |
| Why would you say that mrn a vaccines don't perform well against upper respiratory infections the National Institutes of Health said they prevented an estimated 14.4 million deaths why why on earth is rfk jr so anxious to fill our streets with dead bodies okay | ||
| uh welcome back. | ||
| It's Saturday, 9 August, Year of Our Lord 2025. | ||
| Dr. J. Baktaria joins us, the director of the National Institute of Health. | ||
| Got a little heated this past week, doctor, particularly with people like Colbert. | ||
| Totally, obviously, crude and unacceptable, but it is what it is. | ||
| Can you explain to us, really, because you were here with the Barrington Resolves and have been here at the beginning of this and had suffered professionally? | ||
| Exactly what happened this week? | ||
| What brought it about? | ||
| What was the analysis? | ||
| Why was the announcement? | ||
| And what Secretary Kennedy did is he ordered that BARDA, which is an agency in the HHS, Health and Human Services, cancel a whole bunch of contracts for the mRNA platform for mass production essentially of mRNA vaccines. | ||
| The reason that he did that, and I think it's very important for people to understand, is that as far as public health goes, the mRNA platform as far as public health goes for vaccines, the mRNA platform is no longer viable. | ||
| If you look at the uptake of the recent COVID vaccines in kids, for instance, it's less than 5% of kids, kids under five, I think, have taken it, less than 15% of kids between five and 12. | ||
| Overall, less than a quarter of people have taken it, despite the fact that there's been relentless propaganda and pressure to take the COVID vaccines, the mRNA COVID vaccines forever, for a very long time, dating to the Biden administration. | ||
| And so you can't have a platform where such a large fraction of the population distrusts the platform if you're going to use it for vaccines and expect it to work. | ||
| And what you're seeing with Colbert and those those those those. | ||
| Those insane clips that you just played for me is frustration and because they're no longer getting their way. | ||
| They no longer control the cultural high ground where they can essentially bully people to take a product that people don't want. | ||
| When people have lost trust in a product or technology like that, you don't have to the only way forward is to be honest with people about what you know, what you don't know, and then, and then, you know, give excellent evidence, reason with people. | ||
| This kind of, I mean, this kind of mocking and bullying has no place in public health. | ||
| This does, and Colbert has done tremendous damage to public health, I think, for several years now with this kind of like relentless propaganda and then now bullying, I just, you know, it's very unfortunate. | ||
| No, that's what we played from years ago when he had the dancing needles up there just to show exactly what. | ||
| And he will be held accountable over time. | ||
| I want to go back though. | ||
| Science is not a democracy, right? | ||
| People have lost trust, obviously, with the relentless propaganda. | ||
| But what is, let's go back to the reason they've lost trust is although the propaganda is there, they've kind of see what they see. | ||
| You're the director of National Institute of Health. | ||
| What does actually the science tell us? | ||
| What does the data tell us of mRNA and where we stand right now regardless of this massive propaganda effort to convince people that this experimental gene therapy worked. | ||
| Where are we actually with the evidence in the science itself today? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So as far as like the the the platform itself is a technology my bottom line is that the technology is promising but not yet ready for prime time for vaccines promising but but but in the sense of like given the public health moment let me tell you the scientific evidence behind the for vaccines for for cancer, that's another story, we can maybe get into that at some other point. | ||
| For vaccines, what you want is a technology where you understand the dose of the antigen being given. | ||
| You want to understand, you want to make sure that the antigen, so for instance, in the case of the COVID infection, the strategy for the vaccine was to present an antigen of the spike protein, and then have your body respond to the spike protein rather than the virus itself. | ||
| And when you respond to that, we see the virus, you have antibodies that deactivate the virus. | ||
| That's the theory. | ||
| The reality is that, first, the vaccine didn't work to stop people from getting and spreading COVID. | ||
| That's just a fact. | ||
| I mean, almost everyone who had the vaccine has had COVID. | ||
| I mean, I took, I actually got the COVID vaccine in April 2021, and two months later I got COVID. | ||
| My experience was not, not unusual to say the least. | ||
| And so as far as the COVID vaccine itself, its ability to address the pandemic and stop the spread of the disease was severely lacking. | ||
| Okay, so that's one. | ||
| Second, when you have a platform like the MRNA platform, what you're doing is ess essentially you're turning your body into an antigen factory. | ||
| If you I mean, you're turning, you're taking your cells, which are capable of taking the mRNA sort of programming and turn out an antigen that you want to be produced there, right? | ||
| So in this case it was some version of the spike protein. | ||
| The problem is that the mRNA, when it's taking over the cells and having it produce antigenes, you want to make sure that first you understand the dose of the antigenes that are being produced. | ||
| You want to control the dose of the vaccine. | ||
| The vaccine really is the antigen, not the mRNA. | ||
| Second, you want to make sure the biodistribution, you want to make sure that it goes to the places you want it to go, not to other places you don't want to go to. | ||
| And then third, you want to make sure that you're not creating off target proteins. | ||
| Now, all the mRNA technology fails on all three counts. | ||
| It's not, it's not, I don't believe that it caused, you know, I mean, I've seen people claim that it's caused large numbers of deaths. | ||
| I'm not sure I agree with that in terms of the scientific evidence. | ||
| I also don't agree with estimates that it saved, what I think you played a clip that said 14 million lives. | ||
| Those estimates, especially the stuff, the claims of lives saved are based on modeling estimates. | ||
| They're not actually NIH estimates. | ||
| The NIH publishes, you know, vast numbers of scientific papers links to vast numbers of scientific papers, many, most of which were not actually supported by the NIH. | ||
| It's just a it's kind of a library. | ||
| So I think those estimates, I think, you know, I don't actually know the answer. | ||
| My general sort of what I think happened is that it very likely the COVID vaccine protected people that were older for a short period of time against dying from COVID. | ||
| And for younger people, because the death rates from COVID, the risk from COVID of dying from COVID was so low, especially for children, that the mRNA vaccine in that setting didn't do very much good at all. | ||
| And we know for a fact that it had some side effects, severe ones, including myocarditis in some unexpected waypectedly acceptably high rate in in young in especially young men um what led what you're saying is that hey it could be promising but it's going to take kind of years to figure this out that is essentially what people do when they try to develop vaccines they take i don't know an average | ||
| of what 10 years or in these in these efforts. | ||
| Why did the, why did Fauci and the medical community, because I think in your great Barrington declaration, very early on, you and your colleagues, I think highlighted to people about what the problems are going to be here. | ||
| Why did the public health, and particularly the most prominent schools, Harvard, all these other places, why did the public health officials in prominent medical centers and people on MSNBC every day with Dr. This and Dr. That totally credentialized, why did they jump so hard on top of this? | ||
| that it was a panacea and that you had to take it and if you didn't take it no one at the war room is vaccinated right we just totally completely rejected it out of hand but why were the professionals and particularly people at the most credentialed places. | ||
| Why did they jump on this thing so hard to push it? | ||
| I mean, there's multiple reasons, Steve. | ||
| And I think you can talk about, of course, the financial incentives. | ||
| I mean, there were tremendous financial incentives. | ||
| As you could see, when Secretary Kennedy canceled the contracts, it was, you know, on the order of, you know, just a vast amount of money was at stake. | ||
| So there's financial incentives involved. | ||
| That's part of it. | ||
| I don't believe that's all of it though. | ||
| If you go back and put yourself in, say, summer of 2020, the fear and panic over the threat of COVID was so palpable that it led people to do really crazy, I mean, just in retrospect, really crazy things, including closing our schools, including ostracizing people that who were, you know, sort of taking risks. | ||
| When I was a Stanford professor back then, I would get it was fairly sort of I was at the front saying that we shouldn't be closing schools. | ||
| We shouldn't be doing all this. | ||
| I got, I mean, I just as a I was reflecting what I saw as the evidence in front of me. | ||
| And I got, you know, crazy death threats just because I would say that closing schools doesn't make sense. | ||
| After we wrote the Great Barrington Declaration in October 2020 with a colleague of mine at Harvard and a colleague of mine at Oxford, where we called for opening schools and for not harming the lives of young people, protecting older people better, but not harming the lives of young people. | ||
| The former head of the NIH, a man named Francis Collins, who he he wrote to Tony Fauci calling for a devastating taking down of the premise of the Declaration, which then led to, you know, again, more death threats against me. | ||
| It was it was it was it was quite something. | ||
| So in that kind of feverish environment, I think people looked at this, the vaccine as a sort of panacea. | ||
| And they invested a lot in trying to get the vaccine technology out. | ||
| I mean, Operation Warp Speed in a sense made a lot of sense in that environment because Operation Warp Speed said, let's try to accelerate the development of this technology that might address this threat. | ||
| Now, I thought there were better ways to address the threat back then, but let's just as a matter of, you know, sort of strategy, it makes sense to invest all you can to try to address this threat as you see it. | ||
| When after that happened though, the evaluation, the evidence, I mean, it just involved a lot of wishful thinking. | ||
| There was a clip of the then CDC director in 2021, Rachel Walensky, talking about how everyone was just filled with hope. | ||
| That hope blinded the public health establishment to the facts about the vaccine, right? | ||
| So it didn't protect you from getting and spreading COVID. | ||
| It just didn't after a short time. | ||
| It had side effects. | ||
| I think that blind spot really, that's the key thing. | ||
| Doctor, can you hang on just, we're going to have a short commercial break and we've got a few questions on the other side about how do we go forward uh Secretary Kennedy promised platinum-level science and radical transparency at a HHS. | ||
| I think that is what the American people have wanted for a long time so we don't get caught up in some emotion.al situation when it comes to public health and science. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

| Dr. Badataria joins us now, Director of National Institute of Health. | ||
| Sir, so in promulgating this to the American people, because they have a lack of trust in this platform, the mRNA, additional information, you guys' analysis of science, and kind of how do we go forward if this platform's not working? | ||
| What's the next step in promulgating this information to the American people? | ||
| Because as you know, the information war against you guys right now is pretty intense as big pharma, as all the people that were cheerleaders for this, not understanding the science, they have to cover their tracks. | ||
| They're just not going to sit there and go, oh, you know, Bobby Kennedy and his team are right. | ||
| So what just walk us through, what should we look for going forward? | ||
| Well, I mean, I sit as the director of the National Institute of Health. | ||
| So I'm in charge of like how we devote our resources to scientific, you know, scientific experiments that are aimed at improving health. | ||
| So I'll just talk to that. | ||
| To me, the key thing going forward, first, we have to be absolutely honest with the American people about what worked and what didn't work, right? | ||
| We can't start, continue to try to paint a picture of everything's fine. | ||
| Like, you know, this, this, and Stephen Colbert approach to public health, that's a complete disaster, a non-starter. | ||
| That's this, almost tailor made and designed to create lack of public trust. | ||
| We have to be honest about what's, what's known and what's not known, right? | ||
| So I told you, I don't know, uh, that, whether the, some of the claims that I've heard are right. | ||
| Just because I have a, you know, as a scientist, I have to like have a skeptical view of almost any claim. | ||
| So we have to be, we have to convey that, what we know and what we don't know clearly. | ||
| Second, we have to invest in technologies that actually have a promise of working that have not lost the trust of the American people, right? | ||
| So, for instance, at the NIH, at the behest of Secretary Kennedy, we've invested in a more traditional vaccine technology of whole virus inactivated vaccines for viruses for treating the flu or for preventing the flu, a sort of a universal flu vaccine that so you wouldn't necessarily have to get the flu vaccine every single year after year. | ||
| If that works, I'll tell you. | ||
| I'll tell you if it works. | ||
| I'll tell you if there are side effects. | ||
| I'll be honest with you about what the scientific evidence is. | ||
| I'm not going to use my platform to say, trust me. | ||
| Instead, I'll show you evidence and I'll give you my honest assessment. | ||
| I think that's really the only way forward. | ||
| We have to pursue promising avenues, right? | ||
| We have to and pursue them with scientific rigor and we have to be absolutely honest with the American people about what's what we find, including some of the things that we don't necessarily hadn't necessarily expected to find. | ||
| I don't know any other way forward other than that. | ||
| What is, to make sure we don't have problems like we've had in the pandemic and you don't have this gets into emotions instead of just data and science. | ||
| Going forward, are you going to address this more to the American people? | ||
| Are you going to take a more prominent role in talking about what you guys are pursuing? | ||
| Are the actual scientists you're giving grants to? | ||
| Are you going to give them a higher public profile? | ||
| I mean, how are people, just the average common citizen, right, that's bombarded by the entertainment industry like Colbert, how are they going to actually get access to this? | ||
| Well, Steve, I'm not particularly good at PR, but I can tell you, I have a podcast that I've started called the Director's Desk, where I talk to scientists. | ||
| I talk to, and we talk about, you know, hot-button scientific issues where we discuss sort of a level at a level where people can understand what's known and what's not known. | ||
| I think putting people, putting scientists actually thinking through this, their skepticism about things and expressing that publicly, I think that's the one way forward. | ||
| And I think we, you know, just having, having like honest conversations, I mean, I was thrilled when you invited me to this show. | ||
| Having honest conversations in places where scientists don't normally go, I think was also going to really help connect with the American people. | ||
| The mainstream media, I don't know, you know better than me, Steve, but I've had so much frustration in how the mainstream media has pursued its public interest. | ||
| It's public health engagement. | ||
| I think it's done great damage to public trust in public health. | ||
| I still remember a clip from, I think it was MSNBC. | ||
| There was a, there was some host that she was talking about how the COVID vaccine, every single time someone takes it, takes it, it stops the virus in its tracks and will move forward. | ||
| And I knew the data at the time did not support that. | ||
| And there she was on a, on a, on a prominent cable news channel telling, it's just misleading the public, apparently with an eye toward, uh, propagandizing the public. | ||
| Um, a lot of the, a lot of, I mean, I don't know this for, for, for certain, but it's, but it looks to me like, um, a lot of the money. | ||
| that comes from advertising for these mainstream sites comes from pharma, right? | ||
| And so they have a kind of vested interest in this propaganda. | ||
| How do we get people to understand that there's that they should be listening to real science where the hallmark of it is skepticism, hallmark of it is rigor, hallmark of it is looking at data. | ||
| And it's often that your results are ambiguous. | ||
| Like you, I mean, I believe that the COVID vaccine was good for older adults in 2021 during the Delta wave. | ||
| I don't know now. | ||
| I mean, because there's no real randomized trials on that now. | ||
| The new variant demonstrating the kind of result which we wanted, protection against severe disease and death. | ||
| But I mean, that's an ambiguity. | ||
| But for younger people, I wrote a piece in April 2021 for kids that said it made no sense to make the COVID vaccine available to kids back then because the likelihood of dying from COVID itself was so low and there was the possibility of side effects. | ||
| I mean, this kind of nuance, this kind of discussion, an honest discussion where scientists disagree with each other, we have debate and open discussion, that's my strategy going forward. | ||
| I'd love to get out more and talk with folks about this because I think that's the only real way to restore trust. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| Where do people go to get to the National Institute of Health site, your social media, and your podcast? | ||
| We'll start with promulgating real science and the discussion and debate around science, which is always a debate. | ||
| Where do people go, doctor? | ||
| So I have a site called NIH Director underscore J on X. There's also an NIH site itself. | ||
| So it's just like literally at NIH where you can see like we don't just do talk about vaccines. | ||
| We have a whole wide range of science, of course, that we talk about. | ||
| There's a Director's Desk podcast, which we're going to, you know, you can see I've done a few already. | ||
| I'm going to plan to do many, many more. | ||
| I'm going to start highlighting some really exciting findings, like, for instance, did you know, Steve, that we now potentially have a cure for sickle cell disease, a genetic disease that affects Wow. | ||
| You know, many, especially black youths that I thought would never be cured, but we might have a cure. | ||
| There are all kinds of exciting advances like this that I'd love to highlight so we can start to people can understand where this honest scientific process leads. | ||
| And also, I want to highlight places where there's ambiguity, where I believe that that ambiguity has been sort of suppressed. | ||
| So that director's desk will be a fun place to follow me. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You should also know the worm is one of the leaders in helping this new group that's come together to try to stop all pharmaceutical ads from coming on television because our theory of the case is that if you we monitor MSNBC and CNN 24-7, if you took ads off MSNBC, it would be a test pattern. | ||
| Dr. Thank you so much for coming on today. | ||
| Really appreciate you taking time on the Saturday. | ||
| We'll make sure we'll push out all of your information. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| We're really grateful to have you have me on. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Wow, very refreshing. | ||
| I've got the great Naomi. | ||
| In fact, can we boot that ad up for the break? | ||
| I want to play it afterwards. | ||
| Naomi Wolfe joins us. | ||
| Naomi, many years in the vineyard, you fought and warned people and put together the Pfizer papers and had thousands of Warren Posse under your and Amy Kelly's great direction do all this work. | ||
| What are your thoughts when you heard the announcement this week and also the firestorm that came back from the Colberts of the World and the mocking and all that, ma'am. | ||
| Well, it was an important announcement. | ||
| I mean, I've been critical of HHS under the leadership of Secretary Kennedy falling short, you know, so many times in so many ways of the centerpiece of why the Maha movement aligned with MAGA for this historic union of voters. | ||
| And the centerpiece of that was getting rid of the mRNA injection that moms knew and dads knew by now has been so. | ||
| and so devastating and damaging. | ||
| So I have to credit Secretary Kennedy for a considerable amount of boldness. | ||
| I mean, we know what he's facing. | ||
| We can conjecture, you know, the headwinds internally, the, you know, many forces, lobbyists, different camps internally that would want to prevent an announcement such as his, which defunded about half a billion dollars in funding for twenty two MRNA programs. | ||
| So that was I want to credit him for that, right? | ||
| That took a lot of courage. | ||
| That said, like my headline today, especially now always, but listening to Dr. Battacharya, whom I admire so much, whom I've known and respected since 2022 when I first interviewed him, I feel like there's such a huge announcement, | ||
| right, and the predictable mockery because you analyzed the battlefield so accurately, the predictable mockery from legacy media is largely because pharma pays for 70 to 80 percent of legacy media. | ||
| So make banning at, you know, pharma ads in America the way every country but New Zealand bans pharma ads will indeed shake out the treaty and leave guaranteed journalists prison. | ||
| But I was just going to say, you know, my headline is that HHS doesn't have a working comms apparatus. | ||
| And you see Secretary Kennedy, in my view, struggling much harder than he should have. | ||
| Jay Bhattacharya even not being equipped with, you know, via a comms team with simple points and action steps that everyone can understand. | ||
| Naomi, hang on a second. | ||
| We're just going to take a commercial break. | ||
| I want to get into all this and give you plenty of runway. | ||
| Wait, next in the war room. | ||

| but i also want about the accountability you know we started with a package uh with dr jay about uh colbert who was on a tear this week, but also went back to the time he had the Dancing Needles. | ||
| And, you know, he just said that he thought that people like Colbert. | ||
| did an immense damage to public health in the United States, and nobody would know that better than you, who they tried to shut up and de-platform and debank your daily clout and get rid of it, et cetera. | ||
| So walk me through exactly where you think we are in promulgating this information, one, to the American people, so people have a full understanding of exactly where we are in this. | ||
| And number two, What is your recommendation on how we hold people accountable that really damaged and hurt so many of our fellow citizens, ma'am? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Well, I love that trailer or that clip you just aired, how necessary to have a group pressing and it shouldn't be a difficult legislative solution to simply make it unlawful, like everywhere else but one country, for pharma to advertise. | ||
| And I think what we're going to find, so fantastic, an approach is that, you know, just like we're seeing legacy media collapse without USAID money, it may simply fall apart completely without the combination of USAID money and pharma money, and that will leave independent media to tell the truth. | ||
| It's a fabulous approach and it's necessary. | ||
| Bhattacharya didn't just face opposition from legacy media. | ||
| He actually faced, as he mentioned, internal opposition from the highest levels of HHS and the NIH. | ||
| mean, it's so unconstitutional, but we know that story, right? | ||
| And now our, our So what I want to encourage, you know, our wonderful allies in those agencies to consider is that the time is over for the reaction to be, how do we tell this story? | ||
| How do we combat legacy media? | ||
| They're so full of falsehood. | ||
| They're so mean to us. | ||
| You know, enough of that. | ||
| We're in charge now. | ||
| You guys are in charge now. | ||
| You, yes, they're going to try to tear your story apart. | ||
| That's their job, certainly, for as long as they're funded by Pharma. | ||
| But what HHS needs to have and NIH needs to have and the FDA needs to have is a really functioning COMS apparatus. | ||
| And that's not rocket science and they don't have it right now. | ||
| So let's just take the MRNA rollout of big enough. | ||
| I think it was kind of botched and it shouldn't have been. | ||
| They should have gotten nothing but good political capital out of that announcement. | ||
| It didn't come with links to the original science, right? | ||
| And Stephen Hathfell, an advisor to HHS, as I understand, was on your show. | ||
| He was on Emerald Robinson's show, and he said the quiet part out loud, great journalism from Emily Robinson and from you, but he said there are 500 studies showing the damage outweighs the benefit of these injections. | ||
| But Stephanie Spear is sitting on them, essentially. | ||
| I mean, his words were more diplomatic. | ||
| But, and then, you know, Grey Delaney, who is my former editor, a really serious young man who had a role of advising, he was fired, you know, subsequent to the MRNA rollout. | ||
| He actually knew how to run, you know, comps better than it seems the existing infrastructure. | ||
| So I can tell you as a sympathetic journalist, Steve, that when I run a critical essay about HHS, I don't have anyone to call to get a quote. | ||
| There's no one to reach, right? | ||
| You can go to the HHS website, there's press person, it goes into a black hole. | ||
| I don't get emails from HHS. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a reporter with two million people listening a month, right? | |
| I'm sympathetic. | ||
| I don't get press releases from HHS. | ||
| When you look at the press release for the MRNA, and I'm talking now, so people will understand that a press release from a communications shop, right, which every agency is supposed to have, is the DNA of messaging from any successful administration, right? | ||
| There isn't a database of journalists that's getting press releases. | ||
| And when you get the press release, say for the MRNA rollout, it's so convoluted. | ||
| so bureaucratically written and kind of sneakily phrased, which I wish they would stop doing, that you end up noticing, okay, well, they're defunding 22 programs, but they're reinvesting in something over there. | ||
| And meanwhile, they're acknowledging there are still programs that they're not going to pull, putting this mRNA injection in people's bodies. | ||
| because it's already taxpayer funded. | ||
| So anyone with common sense who can make it through the language is going to be going, what? | ||
| I can't even write about this. | ||
| And, you know, also with a, Well, it would be RFK Jr.'s name on it. | ||
| You know, in the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times. | ||
| I mean, maybe the case for this was made and I just overlooked it. | ||
| But really, a functional comms team should have op-beds, USA Today, regional newspapers, you know, and they should have a battery of surrogates, right, who are equipped and trained and trained again with these three message points and an action step so that they're all on the same page, which I will tell you, democrats do it. | ||
| You know, we're, we're awful people. | ||
| I'm a former democrat, but, you know, the, the, the opposition are awful, but they know how to get in line and send everyone talking points, right? | ||
| And literally, I don't see surrogates. | ||
| And there are many who would be willing to go out and carry RFK junior's message. | ||
| He took half a billion dollars away from mRNA. | ||
| Lastly, I just want to say, there's no one, it seems, thinking through the emotional impact of what they're doing, right? | ||
| So, you know, 70 to 80 percent of the American public, Steve, has taken this mRNA injection into their bodies once, twice, three times, a booster, and they were told for four years safe and effective, safe and effective, the dancing syringes, et cetera, on Stephen Colbert. | ||
| Now Secretary Kennedy, who already has been branded a lunatic by legacy media, stands up and tells them something very, very emotionally charged, right? | ||
| Very difficult to hear. | ||
| There's more risk than benefit. | ||
| That is scientifically and medically correct, and everyone who got that message should have been directed to all the studies that show that, so he's not standing out there alone, unsupported, but it's emotionally traumatic to hear that. | ||
| So they need someone in the comms shop needs to think through, this is going to be very difficult for people to hear. | ||
| We need to be patient, we need to be informative, we need to have oped after oped after oped, explaining, you know, this is how we're going to help. | ||
| Now we're going to work on vaccine injury compensation issues, so that's not a mara. | ||
| We're going to give you somewhere to go, we're on your side. | ||
|

|
otherwise people just traumatize and want to shut down. | |
| I'm going to have you on, I'll work out with your schedule that coming because I want to have back on and go through deeper. | ||
| Because here's why. | ||
| It's not just the $500 million. | ||
| That's kind of the BARTA part of it. | ||
| It's so much deeper than that. | ||
| The $500 million is like, okay, that's shut down. | ||
| But it's like, yo. | ||
| This was an experimental gene therapy. | ||
| Everybody had the highest hopes for it. | ||
| They wanted it to work. | ||
| A lot of the scientists lost their scientific, you know, not just credibility., but their moorings. | ||
| And of course, people like Fauci and others in the pharmaceutical investment interests went over the top. | ||
| But this thing is so deep. | ||
| This gets to the whole situation with the pandemic. | ||
| This gets to the situation of public health going forward. | ||
| And the Colbert stuff can't be unanswered. | ||
| It has to be answered. | ||
| And people eventually have to be held accountable. | ||
| So this is what, and I do agree with you. | ||
| I'm so blown away that it was just like a, I read the press release. | ||
| And like I said, you know me. | ||
| I'm not a doctor. | ||
| When I read that, I go, holy mackerel. | ||
| Does this say what I think it says? | ||
| So this is why it has to be a massive eff effort. | ||
| In fact, I believe it's the most important thing that Secretary Kennedy has done. | ||
| It will have the most profound implications if properly managed, not just on the messaging side, but the action side. | ||
| Naomi, we got a bounce, but I want everybody to go to your thing. | ||
| We'll have you back on. | ||
| is so massive that we're at the very top. | ||
| And I want people to understand, just because a book, This fight's far from over. | ||
| Don't think the farmer thinks they're going to lose this this. | ||
| They look at us as just a collection. | ||
| They still look at this as a collection of just kind of marginalia. | ||
| This fight is in. | ||
| And if we want to win this and do what's right for science and do what's right for public health, hey. | ||
| This is the opening salvo. | ||
| This is so far from over. | ||
| And people think you just put out a press release. | ||
| Oh, it's done. | ||
| That's holy writ. | ||
| That's not the way the imperial capital works. | ||
| And that's not the way modern capitalism works. | ||
| Particularly when you're talking about the concentration of power that big pharma has. | ||
| Naomi Wolf, an amazing job you did over the years. | ||
| We'll get more to that about the Pfizer papers and what. | ||
| Where do people go over the weekend to get you, ma'am? | ||
| Oh, well, they should come on August 21 at 6 p.m. to the Republican Club, the Donald J. Trump Republican Club. | ||
| That's me at the Republican Club. | ||
| Everyone, this day has come and they can meet the candidates, this ground swell of amazing young candidates, former Democrats who have walked away, who are now running as Republicans to save Brooklyn and save New York. | ||
| So everyone come say hi then. | ||

| They've solved a billion dollars worth of these tax issues that are just like yours. | ||
| There's nothing new under the sun when it comes to IRS. | ||
| Go call them and check it out today, Tax Network USA. | ||
| Dave Bratt, tie it all together for me, brother. | ||
| Yeah, doctor Bhattacharya, just outstanding objectivity, honesty, the moral foundations come through. | ||
| Naomi, the same thing, more political. | ||
| Let's get it out there. | ||
| Transparency matters, right? | ||
| Let's get where's the comms director? | ||
| Where's it? | ||
| All this ties in to President Trump's position on the universities and he should stay at it, right? | ||
| I have people from the universities, right? | ||
| Everybody sees the news clips of the University of Chicago professor. | ||
| She says, you know, I hate this place. | ||
| It's run by white men. | ||
| I hate white men. | ||
| And I'm staying here to use this as a platform. | ||
| And that's what Bhattarelli said. | ||
| Science is not a platform. | ||
| You should be able to reproduce your results. | ||
| If it's publicly funded, we should demand all science is put out publicly after they publish the paper, right? | ||
| So it's competitive academically. | ||
| So, but you should have to put your data and your methodology out in public so people can replicate it. | ||
| And just a quick in closing, the university, right? | ||
| It's not just science, which is much better than the rest of them. | ||
| The universities roughly a third hard science, a third social science, and a third humanities. | ||
| All three are supposed to explain the same reality, the real world. | ||
| And I'll just leave you with a closing thought. | ||
| The most important thing or person for all of humanity, six billion people is God, and why can't a university study God? | ||
| The most important thing, ethics and religion and God are off limits to science, social science, the humanities. | ||
| That's got to be turned around and Trump should explain that to our leaders in education. | ||
| Social media, where do people get your you over the weekend for you back here next week yeah i'll put a little of that up uh from that last little uh blurb there uh brad economics on getter and x thanks steve thank you bro thank you for co-hosting taige gill now more than ever as we wrap the show i need a coffee a bunch of coffee because i'm about to give a speech in a couple hours sir where do i go good morning steve warpath.coffee and then for | ||

| Just go on the website and read the reviews. | ||

| Don't take it from Taj and don't take it from me. | ||
| Go check it out for your compadres. | ||
| Trevor Comstock, you're also on a roll. | ||
| Sacred human health. | ||
| What do you got for us today, sir? | ||
| Yeah, I appreciate it, Steve. | ||
| So I know I've come on a few times to share the news about the launch of our new tallow moisturizer, and we technically have been selling. | ||
| selling out and it's our team has been doing amazing job just to keep it in stock and keep the ball rolling. | ||
| So again, we don't have to list it out of stock. | ||
| But I also just wanted to quickly touch on one point. | ||
| You know, we've had a good amount of people just reaching out asking how this compares to, you know, their everyday skin moisturizer. | ||
| So again, I just wanted to quickly touch on that. | ||
| But compared to most commercial skin creams, the problem with those is that they're usually full of synthetic ingredients and like alcohols, fragrances and cheap fillers that can actually damage your skin. | ||
| barrier over time. | ||
| So although they may be effective to some degree, they usually again contain a ton of chemicals that really aren't natural and they're typically just mass produced so the quality in general is pretty questionable. | ||
| So in turn our formula is very clean, we only use the two ingredients, which is the 100% grass fed and finished beef tallow and then the raw manuka honey. | ||
| And again, there are no synthetic ingredients, no fillers, no alcohols or anything like that. | ||
| And, um, in terms of a use case, it's great for dry skin. | ||
| You can use it on anywhere where you have some red spots, eczema, uh, or just irritated skin in general. | ||
| And you can also put it on your face, your hands, your neck, uh, or anywhere where your body needs it. | ||
| And I mentioned too, but my mom has been using this for the past week on her neck and she's been loving it. | ||
| This product is on fire, uh, along with the other immunity, grass food, beef liver. | ||
| Where do people go right now to look at it over the weekend? | ||
| Yeah, you can go to sacredhumanhealth dot com dot health.com and then also you can use code warroom for 10 off any one-time purchase um and yeah let us know if you have any questions we're happy to help trevor is uh available we make all the uh the leaders of the companies we're in business with make sure they make whether it's philip patrick at birch gold or trevor comstock or sake your humor taggill build a relationship with them this is what they want this is why these guys are entrepreneurs and starting these companies they are people persons go check it out | ||
