You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz and I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Toll-free on number is 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well, it shouldn't shock you.
It shouldn't really.
But it looks like the mask mandates and COVID protocols are back.
Morris Brown College, we now know that they have sent a letter to faculty, staff, students saying that the mask requirement and all other COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place at least for the next two weeks.
They cited reports of positive cases among students in Atlanta University for a reason for the decision.
And also, we are learning that Hollywood Studio Lionsgate, which actually is a pretty good studio compared to other ones, they put a lot of faith-based films on the air, and I give them credit for that.
But they brought back their mask mandate to nearly half their employees because there has been a spike in positive cases.
And employees must wear a medical grade face covering, KN95 or N95 when indoors, except when alone in an office with a closed door, et cetera, et cetera.
Now, never mind the fact that if you actually look at the Washington Examiner, they did a big, big study and they reported on big studies.
And anyway, what they reported on is a dozen scientists around the world conducted a massive meta-study of our efforts to fight COVID, as well as similar efforts to fight the flu.
And they published the results.
It's called the Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews.
And the authors examined 78 different studies on efficacy and different mitigation efforts like masking and distancing and screening and quarantine and hand washing.
And most importantly, is what they had in Condom.
They were all randomized, controlled trials.
And those are the gold standard for studies because they have the greatest chance of avoiding confounding factors.
Non-randomized, non-controlled study trials, for example, observational studies can be compromised if people become more likely to wear masks at times or places that already have higher rates of spread.
So what did the studies find?
Well, they found that hand washing was effective in stopping the spread of the illness.
Okay, that's good to know.
Here's the most eye-opening one.
Quote, wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza-like illness, COVID-19-like illness, compared to not wearing masks.
In other words, masks didn't do much, if anything, was their conclusion.
Anyway, joining us now, Dr. Lynn, infectious disease expert, and Dr. Brian Tyson, co-author of Overcoming the COVID-19 Darkness, How Two Doctors Successfully Treated 7,000 Patients.
He wrote that with our other friend, Dr. George Farid.
And when nobody else was even discussing therapeutics, they were throwing everything they had at it with a great level of success.
And nobody wanted to talk to them.
If anything, they were criticized and attacked.
Anyway, joining us now, both of them.
Dr. Tyson, great to have you back.
Dr. Lynn, thank you for joining us.
Thanks for having us.
All right.
Dr. Tyson, let me ask you.
It sounds like they didn't learn a thing, even though we have all of this information, all these studies.
I mean, these are credible studies, aren't they?
You know, Sean, the definition of insanity comes to mind, you know, when we see all of this stuff going on.
You know, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.
I just can't fathom going backwards in time to try to repeat something that clearly didn't work the first time around.
There's plenty of studies that show that there's no improvement in outcomes.
Natural immunity is still triumphant over everything, as clear evidence by everybody, you know, including myself and my medical staff who've been around now tens of thousands of COVID patients.
And, you know, we're all still here, Sean.
We're all still here.
The unvaccinated population is still present.
We're still living.
We're still going through our day-to-day life.
Why they're going back to this insanity makes no sense to me.
You don't have to answer this question because I refused to answer it because the media was demanding I answer it.
Two things I didn't do during COVID, as you know, Dr. Tyson.
I didn't tell people what to do.
I said, take it seriously, talk to your doctor, take into account your medical history, maybe comorbidities you have, pre-existing conditions, and then make up your own mind.
I was not going to make up people's mind nor what I was going to tell people, but did you yourself in the process of dealing with all these COVID-positive patients, did you eventually get it?
Yeah, I mean, I got COVID.
I've had COVID twice now, but with early treatment, it's been basically just an upper respiratory cold.
If we treat it early, that's the one thing that we've all said.
And even Pfizer will admit, with its new medications out there, in their early oral therapeutics, they say take it within the first 72 hours for the best outcomes.
Well, we've been saying that from day one.
There's multiple drugs out there that you can use for treatment, but it's treating the symptoms early.
And by the way, I mean, you were excoriated if you mentioned hydroxychloroquine.
There's now been the, starting with the Henry Ford Hospital study on that, it proved taken early mitigates symptoms.
I read it in black and white.
And there's been subsequent studies, have there not?
There has been, Sean, and a lot of those studies have been designed to fail.
Anybody who has a background in clinical research can see that certain situations arose in these studies, such as taking them when they're hospitalized beyond the replication phase of the disease and giving them 2,400 milligrams of the drug when 100 or 200 based on weight is appropriate.
They found ways to set a precedent for making this drug non-efficacious for this condition when it clearly is, when so many of us treated so many thousands of patients and that had much better outcomes than anyone else.
I had COVID in 2020.
It took me eight months to get it.
I tried.
I literally tried because I wanted to get over it.
I wouldn't have to limit my exposure.
And I finally got it eight months later, and I treated it early, and I was a one and done and have not been even had a sniffle since.
And to get back to your masks and the mask mandate, I've even done a megathread of 54 studies and have analyzed the poor modeling study that they based all this on in 2020.
And we have decades and decades of proven science stating that masks do not mitigate viral spread, contraction, any of it.
They're not used for that, N95 or otherwise, and they can, in fact, be a detriment.
It's funny because in March of 2020 on 60 Minutes, you know who said masks won't do a thing?
Yeah, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
You know, Dr. Tyson, the one thing that I thought and I saw, and I didn't tell people what to do, I said just ask your doctor if monoclonal antibodies might work for you.
That seemed to be one therapeutic that really worked well.
And then they took it off the market.
Now they put on Paxlovid in its place.
Do you find Paxlovid is helpful?
No, actually, we're seeing rebound COVID with it.
The side effects profile for that medication is actually pretty bad.
The monoclonal antibodies, as you mentioned, did seem to work extremely well, especially in the elderly.
And why we haven't put an emphasis back on that market with all the new variants makes no sense to me.
No, but with the Paxlovid, there are other issues and people don't realize that it's a combination drug.
And one of the combinations, one of the compounds is an HIV drug that has a black box warning.
And I think at this point...
What is a black box warning?
That means there was death involved in its use in the past.
And it's something for clinicians to be aware of when prescribing or recommending the drug.
You see, I only know anecdotally.
I know people that have used Paxlovid and they swear by it.
And I don't know anybody that took it early and died from it.
Died with COVID or had complications with the COVID that they had.
But also, we have a weakened variant.
Even the latest one is an offshoot of Omicron, if I'm not mistaken.
Well, that's exactly accurate.
And the issue is, do you bring a backhoe to your yard to pick a dandelion?
At this point, the virulence is so low.
It's a cold.
And do we want to use a very high-risk drug, which is high-risk for both side effects, drug interactions?
There are like 23 drug interactions, one of them being statins.
And many older people are on statins.
Nobody is bringing this up.
And it's a high risk for something that could be treated with extra.
What is the interaction with cystatin?
Just out of curiosity, you've piqued my interest.
Well, there's a warning for use with statins.
Liver enzymes can be elevated.
You can have many kinds of issues if you look up all the drug interactions.
But statins being one of the most that the population would be on if taken Paxlovid.
And additionally, with Molnipirivir, both of these drugs, if not done properly, will give you a rebound effect and are mutagenic.
So they're going to encourage mutation around you.
So when we keep seeing these mutations between the small epitope leaky vaccines and these mutagenic drugs, we're just perpetuating this to go on and on and on.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

All right, back to Dr. Lynn and Dr. Brian Tyson now as, yep, mask mandates, COVID protocols are back in schools and workplaces.
And is this going to now grow?
Get ready.
You know, your percentage of people that you saved, and you saw thousands, Dr. Tyson, is pretty spectacular.
And, you know, of symptomatic people, you know, using your protocols that you put together with Dr. Farid and others followed as well, 99.96%.
And you're even talking to people.
And there was, I guess it was a retrospective study by Dr. Matthew or by Matthew Crawford about your work overcoming the COVID darkness.
What do you recommend now if people get a positive test?
Right now, we're still just recommending the vitamins, a ZPAC, and some cough syrup, believe it or not.
It's more just symptomatic control and pneumonia prevention.
So you're not using HCQ, for example, anymore?
Not right now.
No need to at this point.
Again, the virulence of the Omicron and the latest version of Omicron is no more than a common cold.
So again, why use drugs that- So we don't have masses of people dying.
Then why are these schools and why are these businesses now beginning to go back into that full-fledged panic mode if it's not March and April of 2020 again?
I'm guessing there's incentives involved.
There's absolutely no science behind even in stating a mask mandate to begin with.
There was no science behind it from day one.
In fact, it limited growth in the youth.
Their delays in speech and understanding and their grade level.
It's affected everybody in a negative manner and zero positive outcome with using masks.
And reinforcing them now on an institutional, college institutional level just is mind-blowing with the science out there showing it's ineffective.
So I just, it has to be an incentive.
I don't understand otherwise what else it would be.
Yeah, I mean, it really is.
There's not a single person that I know that has recently, and there's been an increase in incidences, which I guess we're going to periodically seasonally maybe see in the winter and summer.
Dr. Tyson?
Yeah.
Dr. Lynn?
We see coronavirus every year.
We see different variants of coronavirus.
We see influenza.
We see RSV.
We see a dental virus.
We see lots of viruses every year.
So the problem is, is they fear-mongered coronavirus to make it some, you know, astronomically horrible disease that everybody thinks that, oh, my God, I'm going to die from, when we're way past the high mortality rate that we were seeing in the very beginning.
Now it's still unimaginable where college universities are still requiring these vaccines, which we know don't work, don't prevent spread, don't prevent disease, don't prevent hospitalizations, and don't prevent death being mandated across colleges still to this day, even despite all of the FDA pushback, the lawsuits, the lawsuits against the government, the lawsuits against the military, and everybody's saying, yeah, we shouldn't have mandated them.
No, they weren't mandated.
We should have never mandated them.
And yet, college institutions are still mandating vaccines to enter college.
But look at Rutgers, Brian.
Rutgers just stated that if you don't have your current booster, you will be de-enrolled.
And for Rutgers, I know there are a couple of professors there that may receive incentives that have been pushing the boosters in every student.
And I have an idea of who.
And sadly, there's no scientific basis behind it.
In fact, it's been more of a detriment.
There's more risk involved and zero reward.
It's been proven.
So with the Cleveland Clinic study, with each booster, each shot you get, you are more likely to get COVID.
And that's been proven on two Cleveland Clinic studies thus far.
That's pretty scary.
Anyway, as I know that the fear mongers and panic power people are going to be playing this up to the hilt, it's just important that people understand how much they've been lied to so often before.
I'm just sick and tired.
I'll never listen to these people again.
And I think a lot of people won't as well.
I don't trust them.
I have to run, though, Dr. Tyson.
Love you, man.
Appreciate it.
Dr. Lynn, thank you for joining us as well.
We'll stay on this, assuming it's going to get worse.

We now have the sanctuary city of New York.
Oh, look at this.
New Siena College Research Institute finding New Yorkers, including a huge majority of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, upstaters, downstaters.
Yeah, they say that the recent influx of illegal immigrants to New York is a serious problem, saying that the illegal immigrants resettling in New York over the last 20 years has been a burden, not a benefit to the state.
Wonder if that could change New York red.
I tend to doubt it.
The number of suspected terrorists crossing the border has surged by 15%.
This was on justthenews.com.
The number of illegal immigrants with suspected terror ties encountered at the U.S. land border ports of entry increased 15% in one month, according to the latest U.S. customs and border protection data.
Anybody paying attention?
Because when the next 9-11-style mass casualty attack hits the U.S. has screwed up our country so much that instead of Trump attacking DeSantis, he needs to be focusing on the real issues, not on new nicknames for him.
I am excited to see him debate the loser Newsom here in California.
Oh, it looks like it's going to happen.
So I'll let you know more when we get the final sign-off.
Yeah, the statistics are totally on DeSantis' side.
And I hope that this gives Ron the platform that he needs to just let everybody know he's serious, he's in it to win, and he has, you know, he's well equipped.
He's sharp.
He's done a lot for the state of Florida.
We've been looking at actually moving there, but, you know, haven't.
But I mean, I would love.
Why do you stay out in California?
What's keeping you out there?
I'll tell you what keeps me in New York.
It's my job.
Yeah, I have family and the weather, honestly.
I live in a really nice by the way, that's what airplanes are for.
Go visit your family.
Yeah, so anyway, I'm not giving up on California.
I think that Newsome has screwed it up enough that people will hopefully, you know.
All right, so you're happy he's running.
He's your choice.
Marty, you're in Florida.
Reaction?
My reaction is the fact that he's quitting in the middle of a term.
When we, as the citizens of Florida, voted for him, it was to complete his term.
Well, he was on the Yale baseball team.
He did not quit the baseball team.
When he was in college, he did not quit college.
When he was in the Navy, he did not quit the Navy.
I was in the military myself, and I did not quit.
My parents raised me to never quit anything I start.
And he has a job to complete here.
He is probably one of the best candidates for president.
But remember, all these candidates are running on Trump's platform.
So why not have the guy that initiated the platform finish his job?
Remember that the Democrats was all in his way the whole time he was there, and he accomplished so much.
So if we can remove all of that, what more can he accomplish?
And here's the other side of it: when Ron DeSantis gets done with his job and he backs Trump up, Trump will back him up.
And what DeSantis needs to do is groom the next conservative to take his place so we don't turn into a blue state.
All right.
I think we've heard loud and clear from both of you.
And you know what?
This is the type of thing people are talking about.
I get it.
I will tell you this.
There was an interesting development today in the Daily Caller.
The Biden campaign's refusing to say whether Joe Biden would commit to debating former President Trump if he's the nominee.
To be honest with you, we haven't had any real or any substantive conversations about that yet.
I don't believe that for a minute.
And it was very obvious in Hawaii.
This man is not up to the job.
His cognitive decline is becoming more obvious day by day.
Brock is in the caucus state of Iowa.
Hey, Brock, how are you?
Good.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Hey, I just wanted to share a quick story with you about how crazy people are getting.
So I was driving down a rural highway in Iowa.
Guy comes up next to me, giving me crazy looks.
I kind of look over at him.
I don't know where he starts.
I got a Let's Go Brainstick on my truck and I got a Trump 2024.
All of a sudden, I don't know where he starts screaming F-U-F Trump, Nazi, I'm this, I'm that, and then throw something through the back window of my truck and smashes my window on my truck and drives off into the distance.
You weren't able to catch him?
I was not able because when I originally was such a loud bang, I thought it was a gunshot.
So I originally, I'm not going to lie, I reached for my pistol in my glove box because I'm like, I don't know why this dude just shot at me.
So I got away from him, tried to catch up.
I called the police.
I said, you know, we got cameras, this and that.
And they said, nothing we can do.
Wait a minute.
You have videotape evidence and they said there's nothing that they can do?
They have like the overpasses and stuff.
And I'm like, look, it happened right on an overpass.
And they said, well, unless you have a confirmed license plate, there's not much we can do.
And I'm like, come on, man.
So then, you know, I just.
Well, you know, the make they could figure out the make and model of the car.
And maybe even if you hone in on the images with image enhancing technology, they might be able to actually get a look at the person.
I mean, the fact that they said nothing we could do bothers me.
Why would they say nothing we can do after someone smashes your window?
I don't know.
I know exactly what it was.
I told them it was a black Chevy S-10 pickup truck.
Okay, there can only be so many in the area, I would imagine.
What part of Iowa are you in?
I'm in Cedar Falls.
Okay, Cedar Falls.
What's the population?
I was there recently.
62,000, I think.
Yeah, I would think you could probably do a quick run and check how many people have that truck in black and whittle it down and maybe do a little investigative work and maybe find the perpetrator of this crime against you.
Yeah, I just, it just, it baffled me that just like unbelievable.
I guess it's like these smash and grab robberies.
We have everyone on video.
What do we do?
Nothing.
All right, Brock.
Sorry, man.
Hang in there.
These are tough times for everybody.
It's unreal.
Glad you're okay, though.
Glad it wasn't a gunshot.
Mark in New Mexico.
Mark, how are you?
Hey, I'm doing great, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Hey, so I'm a little concerned about the election because I've been hearing on other talk shows since Trump wasn't arrested for creating insurrection but inciting insurrection that the secretaries of blue states have been given the power to take him off the ballot.
I've seen nothing that gives them the power to do that.
Yeah, I haven't either, but I heard on another talk show that that's what's happening.
And there's already been several blue states that say they're going to do that.
And so maybe something for you to look into, but it's a little concerning to me.
It's all starting all over again, especially with.
Well, they're all starting, you know, just like, you know, you got these leftist, you know, so-called Legal scholars like Lawrence Tribe and others trying to make the argument that the 14th Amendment would prohibit Donald Trump from running for office.
By the way, he's not even being charged with insurrection, which is the specific provision that they're referring to.
So they come up with this convoluted, incomprehensible argument that is completely and utterly unconstitutional.
So I don't think any of that's going to happen.
So I would say, as of now, could change.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Anyway, appreciate the call, Mark.
800-941-Sean.
