All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Toll-free, our number is 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, Wall Street Journal headline, science is closing in on COVID's origins.
Four studies, including two from, well, the propaganda arm of China during COVID, the WHO, which I don't think we should be funding or even listening to ever.
But the piece goes on to provide powerful evidence favoring the lab leak theory.
Now, Dr. Ram Paul, Senator Ram Paul, has highlighted for the country the exchange of emails in the earliest days of COVID between NIH members and how they all knew pretty darn well that it was very likely that American taxpayer dollars were used and funneled through the EcoHealth Alliance to the Wuhan Virology Lab.
And everyone was damn well aware that gain of function research took place there and coronavirus research took place there.
It was testimony on Capitol Hill yesterday.
Dr. Stephen Kui, who will join us in a minute, testified that the Wuhan Institute took documented steps in March of 2019, consistent with actions taken after the lab-acquired infection.
Listen to this.
Documented events at or related to Wuhan Institute of Virology beginning in March 2019 are consistent with the expected activities when a lab-acquired infection has occurred.
This timelines include unusual attention from the Chinese Communist Party leading to the PLA physician soldier being put in charge.
Large tender requests to repair biosafety equipment.
A virus database disappearing in the middle of the night.
Large tender requests for a lab security force to, quote, handle foreign personnel, end quote, patents for a device to prevent a lab-acquired infection.
Rumors in the virology community of a new SARS virus in the lab.
30 vials of the three most dangerous viruses on the planet being shipped illegally from a lab in Canada to WIV in March, and then one of those pathogens being found as a major contaminant in a BLC lab in December.
These events taken together are a classic example of closing the barn door after the horse has left.
Unbelievable.
Now, Dr. Kui further went on to talk about the COVID genome having eight features that are only found in a synthetic virus, meaning a lab virus, and are not found in natural viruses.
Now, think all the times anybody talked about the lab leak theory.
They were dismissed as conspiracy theorists, and we were being told over and over again, it's most likely from a wet market and exotic animals like bats.
But here's his testimony from yesterday.
The genome of SARS-2 has eight features found in a synthetic virus that are not found in natural viruses.
The probability that SARS-2 came from nature based on these features is one in a billion.
These features are the backbone, the receptor binding domain, the furin cleavage site, the genetics of the furin cleavage site, the number, location, and pattern of cloving cloning sites in SARS-2 that use the BARIC cloning method and the ORPHA gene.
Based on SARS-2 cloning sites, I predicted how SARS-2 could be made in the laboratory.
A year later, Barrick used the predicted steps to make an infectious clone of SARS-2.
These same features were described in a 2018 DARPA grant by WIV and U.S. scientists.
With respect to the grant, SARS-2 had the proposed backbone from the proposed region in China, the proposed adaption to human killing, the proposed diversity from SARS-1, the proposed nocem cleavage site, number, location, and pattern, the proposed human cleavage site at the proposed S1S2 junction.
Now, think of all the lies.
Think of what Dr. Ram Paul exposed in his book, Deception, talking about this very issue.
Think about the email exchanges in the earliest days of COVID between top NIH officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, late into the night, and the likelihood that they knew that, in fact, it was NIH funding that created this virus in this lab where they knew coronavirus research took place, gain of function research took place, and that American money went to this.
Think of the lies you were told.
Well, if you get the jab and you get the two jabs, and you're not going to get COVID, and you're not going to be able to transmit it to other people.
How true did that turn out to be?
Not at all.
Add to that all the other lies.
And even though there's been studies, for example, that show that, yeah, if you took HCQ, for example, didn't cure COVID, but it did take an early mitigate symptoms, according to the Henry Ford Hospital and numerous other studies.
And I saw that Dr. Fauci was attacking that again yesterday.
I'm like, well, do you ever read any scientific papers or studies on these things?
Because I'm not a scientist, but I do.
Anyway, frontline medical professionals, but the bottom line is, is they knew it and they purposely kept it from us.
And I think that's the big takeaway of all this.
Anyway, Dr. Kui joins us now.
His first name is Stephen, Dr. Stephen Kway.
He's a distinguished physician scientist, acclaimed author of Stay Safe, a physician's guide to survive coronavirus.
You know, knowing what we know now and knowing what they knew then, I got to be honest, doctor, I'm very angry.
I feel like I will never, ever trust any health official ever again.
And then you have Dr. Redfield, Robert Redfield, former CDC director, warning about a 25 to 50% mortality rate if in fact it's human-to-human transmission of bird flu.
And I'm like, great, here we go.
And he says the next pandemic is right around the corner.
So I just don't trust them.
What have you learned?
Well, Sean, it's great to be on here.
And I appreciate you playing some of my clips.
Look, you only gave me seven minutes.
I needed probably 10 or 11, and I was racing, obviously.
But let me finish.
At the risk of making you angrier, Sean, I want to finish the conclusion of what they kept from us and what would have happened if they had not kept it.
What they kept from us was that two clinical features of the virus were engineered into it.
Those are asymptomatic transmission, where you don't have a fever, you don't have sweats and that sort of thing.
So that's number one.
And rapid human-to-human transmission.
Every frontline doctor in the world who's hearing about a new virus jumping from an animal in a market is going to think, okay, it's bad for that patient in the room I'm about to go into, but I'm not going to worry about human-to-human spread.
They knew that in January, and they didn't tell the frontline doctors.
Now, I believe 98% of the 1 million people who died in America should not have died.
And I get that number very specifically.
Taiwan, which has 6% of their population in China at any given day, so they're pretty alert to this sort of thing, started mitigations for asymptomatic transmission and human-to-human transfer in December 2019.
And they had 2% of the deaths we did on a population-adjusted basis.
So we have almost a million people who died because the people that knew this virus had these two properties did not tell the frontline doctors.
What would they have told them that would have made them different?
That would have resulted in a different outcome.
Sean, they would have done what Taiwan did.
Very simple.
It's a very small inconvenience.
They would have boarded every plane from Wuhan.
They would have taken, you know, walked up and down the aisle with a temperature that doesn't touch your forehead.
Take your temperature.
If you had a fever, you'd go into quarantine for two weeks.
And then they would contact trace all the people on the airplanes.
That prevented it from going into Taiwan for all of 2020.
That would have prevented it from going into the U.S. Remember when, I mean, and President Trump is not a doctor.
He has to depend on the people he talks to, and Dr. Fochu was one of those.
But had he listened to someone who understood these facts like the Taiwanese doctors did, we would have a million people, a million of our loved ones still alive.
I mean, what you're telling me is frightening.
How telling was it that China understood what they were dealing with?
And it got very interesting to me because if you lived in Wuhan province and you wanted to travel to any other part of China, you were not allowed.
However, if you were in Wuhan province and you wanted to travel anywhere else in the world, you were permitted to go.
And they purposely allowed the spread of this.
They knew what was happening in Wuhan.
I know people who had relatives in Wuhan that told me they all knew what was happening in Wuhan.
They knew people were dropping dead left and right.
And yet they allowed these people to travel around the globe, but they wouldn't let them travel within China.
Yeah.
I got contacted by the State Department because I published a paper where I did this statistical analysis which showed that the subway line next to the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the same line that went to the international airport.
And you can go all over the world in 12 hours before you have any symptoms from that airport.
And someone, you know, they called my secretary and they said, hey, can you come in and help us?
Because this is really interesting information you have and no one else has done this before.
It's pretty unbelievable what you've learned here.
Let me fast forward for a second and then I'll go back to COVID because the former CDC director Redfield said some very alarming things that I don't think many people are paying attention to.
Now, we've been watching these incidents of bird flu or avian flu and animals dying around the country and we now see transmission among one group of animals to another group of animals.
And what he said that really scared me is he predicts this will be the next big pandemic and it'll be far worse than COVID.
And he predicted a mortality rate at 25 to 50% of the population will likely die if human-to-human transmission happens.
And then he went on to describe that for human-to-human transmission to happen, there need to be five amino acid receptors that would allow for that to happen.
He says the problem is they've already identified what those amino acid receptors are.
And I'm probably not saying this as medically pure as you would, so forgive me.
I'm a layman.
And that they identified those back in 2012 in a lab, which scares the living hell out of me.
So are we now facing, is he telling us the truth or is he lying to us?
Sean, you have it exactly right.
I mean, you're welcome to work in my lab anytime you want.
So what he is saying is he is combining two different things, which haven't happened yet.
But what he's saying is that the reason that the Obama administration shut down this kind of research in 2012 was because the scientists in the Netherlands and one in Wisconsin got the crazy idea of seeing if they could make this deadly virus airborne transmissible.
So if you got it by direct contact with animals, you'd get sick, but it wasn't airborne at that point in time.
And they showed that it was only four immuno acids away from doing that.
The world freaked out.
We shut down the skein of function research.
But behind the scenes, doctors Collins and Fauci were working the system, working the system.
They wrote three inches of paper.
They dropped it on President Trump's desk in May of 2017 and saying, hey, we've got this under control.
We know how to do this skein of function research.
Please sign and then end this moratorium.
And they were going to do it with either president.
And that's what started the process May 2017.
And then we had a coronavirus outbreak.
Well, let me ask you, is this where Fauci's comment that he made in 2012 comes into play?
Because if you recall, he said in 2012 that he supported gain of function research, even if it resulted in a worldwide pandemic, which I find spectacularly ignorant and dangerous.
Sean, your listeners need to realize that what you said is exactly true.
It's slightly worse than that.
So the head of all of NIH, Dr. Collins, the head of all of the infectious disease group, Dr. Fauci, wrote a joint opinion basically saying, even if we have a pandemic, this research is worth it.
I don't do this kind of research, but I walked into it about three years ago, and I looked at 300 papers in this field, and I can say categorically, there is no medically useful advances come out of this gain of function research.
None.
The only thing that's going to come out of it, it seems, is mutated viruses in a lab that end up killing people.
Do you believe that Dr. or Robert Redfield is correct, that if in fact there's human-to-human transmission of bird flu in our future, that it could result in 25 to 50% of our population dying?
And do you believe we're close to another pandemic?
Well, I hope we're not close, but he is exactly right.
He's a very good virologist.
So I've done a study to say if we look at four essential things in society, so that is energy transportation.
So how do we get our gasoline?
How do we get our energy?
Food transportation.
How do we get food to the grocery stores?
Police and fire.
How do we keep people, you know, chaos away?
And medical.
So you look at those four, and you say, what percent of the people there that stay home from work?
How many people in each of those four together have to stay home from work or be killed by a virus to shut down our culture?
And it's 15% by all the math exercises I can do.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with Dr. Stephen Quay testified before Congress yesterday and his op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Science Closes In on COVID's Origins.
In other words, we've been lied to.
We'll have more on the other side as we continue.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen.

All right, I have a quick question or two for Dr. Stephen Kway.
He testified before Congress yesterday.
He wrote the book, Stay Safe, a Physician's Guide to Survive Coronavirus.
And his testimony yesterday featured in large part how science has now closed in on COVID's origins.
And yeah, the Wuhan Virology Lab looks like the culprit.
Gee, what a shocker.
But we continue with Dr. Stephen Kway.
What's the average person supposed to take away from this?
I mean, I can't tell you how many people that ended up getting the jab and taking the shot, even though, again, at the time, it was experimental.
I mean, it was emergency authorization use of these vaccines.
I've interviewed Dr. Robert Malone, who created the technology so that mRNA viruses, I'm sorry, mRNA vaccines could even be created.
And he felt he was very clear that the technology had not been perfected.
And he said, with that said, considering the death rate for older people, people with comorbidities and preexisting conditions, he would support it for older people or people with comorbidities only, not for young kids, the way they ended up using it by the end.
That's absolutely 100% consistent with data that began to emerge in February 2020, where an 84,000 patient study in China showed nobody under 20 died.
Nobody under 30 got seriously sick.
And the death didn't start until 50 to 60.
And as you say, Sean, it's exactly comorbidity.
So you've got cancer, you've got heart disease, yes.
And then above 70 and above was where all of the deaths were.
And we should have treated it accordingly instead of this one size fits all for the whole country.
Again, my after-action analysis was that SARS-CoV-2 was different at the county level.
And we have a county level health system.
So we should have treated it that way.
We were shutting down, we were shutting down half of Kansas when there were no cases because the Acela line up and down New York was full of cases.
Bottom line is don't ever trust the government on issues of mobbing health.
That's my takeaway.
Sad, but it's my takeaway.
I think we were lied to on a very high level.
Anyway, Dr. Kway, we appreciate you being with us, my friend.
Thank you.
Thank you, Sean.
Take care.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, let's say hi to Matt is in Michigan.
Boy, Michigan's an important state in what, 138 days.
How are you, Matt?
Glad you called.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking my call.
Not only that, it's about 138 degrees too right now, which is strange for Michigan.
I've tried reading up over, you know, as much as I could on security clearances and that.
And I can't seem to find out who has the authority to strip security clearances.
Like if let's say Trump takes over, which he's going to win, will he have the ability to strip those 51 people that sign that document, strip them of all their security clearances?
You know, you would think that the fact that every one of those 51 former Intel officials, and I believe you're correct in your analysis, that they do have security clearance to some level.
I would think the fact that they, without any information at all, without any examination of the laptop in question, that they would go forward and tell the American people with such certainty in a unified voice something that turns out to be completely false and not true in the lead up to an election because Tony Wink and Blinken organized them to do so in unison.
If that's not election interference, I don't know what is.
And I think that that should be disqualifying in terms of a security clearance and frankly, much more.
I mean, if you're going to create such a deception to the American people and uproot a presidential election that way and try and impact it with a lie that way, I think there should be some consequences for that.
My own personal view.
Yeah, well, mine, too.
But the thing that I keep running into is they don't clarify.
As long as they're part of the government in some capacity, I guess they could work for Northrop or something like that, that they have security clearance.
And I just, I've been trying to find out whether Trump will be able to do that on day one, strip them of it.
I think that the odds would probably be pretty high.
I mean, there was a big article that came out how the left is preparing to stop Donald Trump and use the courts and sue the administration and stop the entire Trump agenda.
They're just going to try and harass him out of the box from day one, but I don't think it's going to stop him.
You might recall he had a hard time getting the monies that would be necessary to build a border wall, and he figured out a way to get around it and do it and do it legally.
And lo and behold, his policies were effective.
And I think that's why, you know, I'm looking at some of these polls and I see there's a disparity between how President Trump is doing versus how some of these Senate and congressional races are going.
And my strong advice to anybody is don't send Donald Trump there alone.
Elect as many Republicans in the House as possible.
Give him the biggest majority you can in the Senate so that we could actually turn things around and we can get rid of defund, dismantle, no bail laws.
We can go back to the stay in Mexico policy.
He can finish the wall.
I mean, there's so much that needs to be done immigration-wise.
He was talking yesterday about building, you know, an iron dome, the likes of which this country and the world have never seen before to protect us against any future threats of any hostile regime.
I like that idea a lot.
I think it's smart.
He's also been talking about restoring law and order and fixing Biden inflation and also restoring America's place in the world, which is to be the leader of the free world and the leader in the cause for liberty and freedom around the world without getting caught up in the quagmire of every foreign conflict.
And he supports Israel's right to win their own war against radical Islamic terrorism.
He believes that there can be a better way than America fighting a proxy war against Russia and Putin the way that Joe Biden has been doing it with hundreds of billions of dollars.
And I agree with him on all of these issues.
So I think there's a lot that he can do.
I hope that answers your question.
Susan in Miami.
What's up, Susan?
How are you?
W-I-O-D.
What's going on?
Hi, Sean.
Welcome to Florida.
I love being in Florida.
It's my new home.
How are you?
I'm okay.
Listen, I wanted to talk to you about how the media, because Trump certainly can't do it, and neither can his attorneys anymore with the gag order and the newest ruling, you know, denying him, you know, to be able to speak with this appellate court is outrageous.
But anyway, they can't, you know, they can't help themselves, in other words.
So media has the only one that's going to have to be able to come to their rescue.
And that is, how can we bring some truthful evidence forward that didn't come out at the trial?
You know, some of these witnesses that were not heard, Castellano got heard, but he got cut off.
Costello, yeah.
Oh, look, I think the American people have it.
I mean, look, we've got a debate just coming up in eight short days.
We've got to focus on that first.
Then there'll be the July 11th sentencing, and it's going to be what it's going to be.
We have an abusively biased and prejudiced judge and a prosecutor.
I mean, you have a first-time offender, a classy felony, and it's going to be appealed.
And, you know, but would this judge be capable of putting him in jail?
I think he probably would be.
My guess is he'll sentence him to jail pending, you know, an appeal.
I do believe that these convictions will be overturned on appeal, but it's a shame that a case like this could ever be brought in a country like ours.
It's awful.
Well, I mean, that's going to take too long entirely.
You know, in the meantime, I mean, can't we do something, you know, to bring some of the truth to light that the trial did not show?
The media, can't we hit a panel on of some of these witnesses that were supposed to be witnesses that were good for Trump that never got to be heard?
No, I mean, Bob Costello has been all over Fox News.
I had on the former FEC chair that was supposed to testify in the case, but the testimony was going to be so limited by this judge that, you know, it became pointless.
We've already had him on, and he said no laws were broken.
So, I mean, we try to, we've been trying to do all of that.
I just think that the fact that the left and the media mob can we what?
Yeah.
Can we continue to have them on, you know, like sort of like we, you know, all of that has been forgotten about drop.
The meantime, Biden is spending $50 million, you know, plastering all over the media that Trump is a convicted criminal.
You know, I'm not worried about this case having that big an impact or any impact at all on Donald Trump.
I'm just not.
I think the American people, and the polls bear this out, see this for what it is, that this was a sham trial, you know, an eight-year-old case, a simple non-disclosure agreement, which is legal, that was labeled a legal expense and not even deducted from their taxes.
It's a shame.
I mean, but this is what the weaponization of justice in America is.
This is what a dual justice system looks like.
This is what lawfare is.
This is what Democrats have resorted to.
They can't run on are you better off than you were four years ago.
And they certainly don't like it if you dare to point out the obvious truth that Joe Biden is not strong enough.
He's weak and frail in a cognitive mess and cannot do the job as president.
So this is what they're stuck with.
And I think these other cases, we'll find out very soon on whether on the immunity decision of the Supreme Court and what impact that has, that may actually, you know, that may destroy the Washington, D.C. case.
The Fonnie Willis case is falling apart and the case down in Florida is falling apart.
This may be the only one left.
And I am confident on appeal, I think Donald Trump, you're going to see a reversal.
And hopefully, Americans, hopefully, Americans will see what we see, and they'll go out and vote for him.
And early voting begins in Pennsylvania in 89 days.
Pay attention.
Anyway, I got to run, Susan.
I appreciate you being out there.
I appreciate your call.
Thank you.
800-941-Sean, New Jersey.
Tom, next, Sean Hannity Show.
Hi.
How you doing, Sean?
Thanks for taking my call.
The reason I'm calling is I just can't understand why Trump is hated so much.
I was listening to WOR yesterday morning, and Joe Conch had called into the morning's radio show, and they were discussing Trump.
And all of a sudden, I think it was Len got so upset, he was incensed.
And no matter what, Joe came back and countered answered what Len was saying, it just got so heated.
I don't understand that.
I really don't.
Well, the good news is Joe Concha is more than capable of handling himself.
Number two, poor Len Berman, I don't know.
I mean, he slanders pretty solidly left.
He's a nice person in real life.
But then you got Mark Simone to kind of counter everything that maybe Len says in the morning right afterwards.
So you're getting a variety of opinions there, okay?
Well, you do.
You do.
I mean, when I come across it myself in my personal life, I choose not to argue because I just don't feel like getting aggravated about it.
I really don't.
And, you know, I'm sorry that these people are not as informed as they should be.
And I, you know, just can't.
Listen, there are some people that just hate Trump.
It's psychotic.
You know, now they're taking it.
He's going to put us in camps and in prisons and take away our TV shows and silence us.
And I mean, they're just unhinged.
You can't have a real conversation with those people.
You just can't.
And if you think you're going to convince them to change their mind, you know, don't waste your breath.
However, there are many Americans that will have an open mind.
You know, since the terror attacks on October the 7th, anti-Semitism, look what's happening in the halls of Congress, college campuses around the country.
It's awful.
But it's Europe as well.
It's also places like Australia.
And that's going to wrap things up for today.
Busy Hannity tonight.
Please set your DVR Monday through Friday, 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
Never, ever, ever miss an episode.
We appreciate you watching.
Anyway, we'll check in with Dr. Ronnie Jackson, Senator Tim Scott, Victor Davis Hansen, Michael Waltz, Horace Cooper, Larry Kudlow, and Joe Concha, the best media analyst out there.
All coming up, 9 Eastern.
We'll see you tonight.
Set your DVR back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
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.
