Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Sen. John Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) spar over the controversial issue of whether or not to recommend new vaccines for infants and toddlers with RSV and other respiratory viruses like RSV.
00:02:14.060The position is indefensible. I think it's possible.
00:02:16.120Congress has been investigating that committee for 23 years because it is pervaded with conflicts of interest.
00:02:24.620What we did is we got rid of the conflicts of interest.
00:02:28.240We depoliticized it and put great scientists on it from a very diverse group of very, very pro-vaccine.
00:02:36.700You tell America that all adults and all children over six months of age are eligible to get a COVID booster at their local pharmacy today.
00:08:04.320I was going to be on the show a couple of days ago, but news events overtook things.
00:08:08.460I just want to point everyone's attention.
00:08:10.520I know you probably don't follow the New York Times every day, but a couple of interesting articles, back-to-back opinion pieces.
00:08:15.980New York Times, Cass Sunstein, you know, Obama fame and all that.
00:08:19.720And then the next day, another one from one of the big, more liberal writers, but they're making a rapprochement back to classical liberalism, right?
00:08:29.540To be open, tolerant conversations, rational discourse, openness.
00:08:37.340Whenever you hear the term openness, right, it's pervaded the university campuses in our country.
00:08:42.660I've worked on the campuses for the last 30 or 40 years.
00:08:45.580And it sounds neat until you see what the liberal project results in.
00:08:51.400And for anybody who wants a remedy or a quick study on that, read Alan Bloom, right, University of Chicago, great philosopher, Closing the American Minds.
00:09:00.400It's a great book on he blisters the concept of openness, which came to us from a philosopher named Karl Popper, who had a brain, but now it's gone into Soros land.
00:09:12.000So when you see Soros and the folks doing openness and pushing openness, you've got to ask, in juxtaposition to what?
00:09:18.720And it's in juxtaposition to just the American classical setup of inalienable rights under law.
00:09:25.820But the reason I bring it up right now is you just saw a blistering leftist assault on RFK Jr.
00:09:34.000You know, I think if anybody sees that, their heart just goes out to them.
00:10:47.420But I did have the incredible experience of helping to oversee this project that Steve Bannon launched and that the Posse brought to fruition, which did oversee 3,500 medical doctors and scientists in reading through the 3,500 documents released under court order by Pfizer.
00:11:10.520So I do know a lot from overseeing these 105 reports about what the fight was about that you just showed clips from.
00:11:23.280It's, you know, I've been critical of RFK Jr. in the recent past because I wanted him to move faster and more directly on pulling, especially the COVID vaccine, off the market.
00:11:34.820I mean, that's the one that, due to the work we did on these two books, and the evidence from Pfizer's own internal documentation, there is no way to make the case at this point in history, because the evidence is out there in public, that it's safe and effective.
00:11:51.880Pfizer concluded a month after rollout that it was neither safe nor effective and it didn't work.
00:11:56.520More people died or were hospitalized with the vaccine than without.
00:12:00.720You know, you can't make the case that it prevents transmission, even they don't make the case it prevents transmission.
00:12:08.400So all those mandates and don't hug grandma rely, you know, it has catastrophic side effects.
00:12:14.600We're seeing horrific excess deaths, as the former Black Rock hedge fund manager, Ed Dowd, has magisterially demonstrated with his data analysis.
00:12:23.620And we're also seeing catastrophic drops in live births, a 13 to 20 percent drop in live births, according to government data sets, especially in the Western world, including in North America.
00:12:36.220I was just in Europe, and there are a million missing babies in Europe, and we know why this injection causes sterilization or miscarriage or spontaneous abortion in a plethora of ways.
00:12:50.000So having said all of that, a lot of things are kind of coming to a head that people should know about that preceded this fight in the Senate and all this yelling.
00:13:00.180One of the things that really changed the chess board is that President Trump tweeted a really interesting tweet, I would say three or four days ago,
00:13:11.680in which he basically said Pfizer had shown him wonderful data, presumably about how effective and safe this injection was.
00:13:22.480And the implication was when they were leading up to the release during Operation Warp Speed.
00:13:29.120And now he's calling on Pfizer to release it to the public.
00:13:32.720And I think he's saying, did you show me real data, let the public assess it, or did you lie to me?
00:13:39.440So we really put Pfizer on the spot, and I'll pick up after the break if you'd like me to.
00:13:49.520Yeah, you know, the conversation there, Senator Mark Warner from Virginia, who just irritates me to no end, you know, tried to pin Kennedy as well.
00:13:58.180We'll get back to this with Naomi, too.
00:14:00.180But he said, you know, you're ignorant.
00:19:12.500He's I mean, I should say up front, he's he's being heroic.
00:19:16.160I mean, he's he's standing firm, he's standing on science, he's standing on truth.
00:19:21.520And and what the American people can clearly see again and again in these exchanges is that he is trying to tell our representatives and our senators, you know, what is missing in the science that he inherited and and how ill served.
00:19:38.740The American people have been in a horrible emergency in which they were lied to continuously, or as he was trying to point out just now, the data were botched or outsourced or, you know, illegally handled, actually, in many cases.
00:19:53.080And he was about to point out that a lot of the data is modeling, which is just imaginary numbers.
00:19:58.080But I think what the American people have clearly seen, and I think he did a wonderful job being on offense and sticking, trying to stick to the facts and trying to be heard, even though he was being kind of silenced and shouted at, is the American people have clearly seen that their senators are bought and paid for by big pharma.
00:20:18.380And, you know, RFK Jr., Secretary Kennedy said that clearly several times to Bernie Sanders and to Elizabeth Warren, and he named numbers and, you know, $850,000 to Elizabeth Warren, and she, you know, tried to speak right over him.
00:20:33.980And he forced that issue so assertively in such a kind of go on the offense way that Bernie Sanders actually had to say, are you saying, you know, Bernie, he smoked out Bernie Sanders completely.
00:20:46.580Bernie Sanders said, everyone here has taken money from pharma.
00:20:51.200We know pharma is corrupt, but they pay all of us.
00:20:53.860Are you saying that we're all corrupt because we take pharma money?
00:20:57.680So the American people have clearly seen who's paying for their senators and that the senators are jumping through hoops for their employers, shouting for the, you know, nearly a million dollars or more that they are getting.
00:21:11.640Seems like annually was a little unclear from the shouting.
00:21:18.480Quitted himself really admirably in trying to, people watching this have had enough science to know that his answers kept returning to what would make the science solid and thus what would keep them safe.
00:21:32.320You know, and even when he was saying they fired people who raised questions about the booster.
00:21:36.480Martin Kulldorff, a world famous epidemiologist, virologist from Harvard, he did right to continue to go back to the science and back to trying to depoliticize it and to make it transparent.
00:21:51.020Now, he is in some impossible positions because they all want him to just, you know, roll out the COVID injection with no hesitation and recommend it because billions of dollars are at stake with that.
00:22:03.640And he, to his credit, won't, but he also hasn't completely withdrawn it.
00:22:09.120So he is in a difficult gray area, a difficult to defend gray area.
00:22:13.160I mean, everyone's kind of mad at him, right?
00:22:14.740Our side is mad at him because he hasn't pulled it and their side is mad at him because he, he has, because he is not providing it, you know, with no testing for free.
00:22:26.360I mean, just as he said, you want me to give you a product that has no safety efficacy data, but I do want to say one more thing.
00:22:34.140Things are really escalating because what's at stake here isn't just another piece of theater.
00:22:39.220It's not just yet again, as with the confirmation hearings, as you all recall initially for Senator Kennedy, Secretary Kennedy, sorry.
00:22:46.780It's not just another, you know, ritual of shouting senators because this time it seems as if President Trump may be moving into alignment with RFK Jr.
00:22:59.720about this issue or at least raising the right questions at last, which has been a long journey.
00:23:05.320And I also want to tell people another data point is Pfizer replied to President Trump on their own website this week, just a day or two ago, saying we'll get President Trump the data by the end of the month.
00:23:21.420And some of it is here on our website.
00:23:23.760So that's not, that's like a dog ate my homework answer from Pfizer.
00:23:28.000And the reason this is escalating, and I promise this is the last thing I'll say, is that given that exchange with the leader of the free world and Pfizer, who's paid all of these people that you see yelling at Secretary Kennedy, it's not just, is this a botched product?
00:23:46.920What's at stake, what's at stake if this moves ahead with President Trump and RFK Jr. finally in alignment on this issue, and President Trump realizing he was lied to by Pfizer, which I'm sure he will not like, it's a massive criminal, it's a massive crime scene.
00:24:04.180I mean, there, there are crimes upon crimes from fraud, battery, violation of the Nuremberg Code, you know, manslaughter, I mean, criminal offenses, civil offenses, even with the PrEP Act, if the power of the White House gets behind HHS, which hasn't been the case, you know, there have been two camps.
00:24:26.360So it is a very dangerous moment for the people who took all that money and participated in this crime.
00:24:33.800Hey, we're, our other folks are having technical difficulties, so you go as long as you want, Naomi, but since I have a Renaissance scholar on with me, I fear not only the tremendous corruption and illegality that you just meant, but the discussion in the nation when it comes to truth claims, right?
00:24:52.200I taught in a history of thought forever, there's no discussion of what truth is anymore, right?
00:24:57.760And this sounds a little boring, but if you're young people, if you haven't read Plato's Republic, you know, he was in search of the truth, he didn't hit it, but everything else is a footnote, they say, to Plato, right?
00:25:07.840And on and on and on, and Aristotle tried it.
00:25:09.900And then recently, we come up to this, this school of thought, this logical positivism, and Karl Popper, and Popper said, you can't ever reach truth either, all you can do is falsify, right?
00:25:22.680So if you have a hypothesis sitting out there, you can knock it down, but what you have standing there isn't truth.
00:25:29.880And so, boy, this really makes the mind, you know, it hurts the American soul, I think.
00:25:36.160People want to believe that people are telling the truth.
00:25:39.100Milton Friedman in economics wasn't happy with that.
00:25:41.380He went after it, and he's a genius, and he couldn't figure it out.
00:25:44.500And so just give us some comments to the American people and the young people, what should inspire them, how they should engage in thought in general,
00:25:52.320and question these senators who are just hacks with a decent guy like Kennedy sitting there getting assaulted.
00:25:58.800And the people who are voting for these hacks, you know, we can do better, but Naomi, you fire away.
00:26:06.860I mean, I love that you're asking the question.
00:26:09.280You know, these are the questions we need to ask, especially our generations need to ask these questions to leave the younger generations an intellectual framework that's also a moral framework.
00:26:19.800You know, that it's not nothing but a giant mess of moral relativism.
00:26:24.000It's funny, I was just before I got on camera thinking about, for some reason, my linguistics professor at Yale, who spent the whole semester, and this was very fashionable at Yale in the 80s,
00:26:36.420and this was kind of in the language space, parallel to what you're talking about, it was called post-structuralism.
00:26:45.200And his basic thesis is that you can't find meaning in language.
00:26:48.280You can always deconstruct language, you can't know what the author meant, everything is indeterminate, and then you extend that to anthropology.
00:26:56.820You know, all cultures are equally valid, doesn't matter if someone's a cannibal, that's their cultural practice.
00:27:02.860You know, and you see this manifesting in Britain, you know, when people who are detained for rape, who come from rape cultures, say, well, this is part of our culture.
00:27:11.280I, you know, I have no idea why you're detaining me.
00:27:13.840My point is, you're a thousand percent right.
00:27:17.240The degradation really began in the 60s in the academy, but, you know, got a lot of momentum from the 80s to the present.
00:27:26.360And I would say for sure, truth has been, is an unpopular, unfashionable ideal, like nations, like history, like you.
00:27:52.520But, you know, the great Ivy League schools, they sent out the anthropologists and sociologists 100 years ago out to find these, you know, Rousseauian noble savages.
00:28:03.280These people are betters, are moral betters, because they're simpler.
00:28:05.980And instead, what they found is not-so-noble savages, and they came back and reported, didn't I go along with the liberals?
00:28:16.640Back with Naomi Wolf in a minute to discuss the meaning of all things.
00:28:20.860Hey, I realize you've got many choices when it comes to who you choose for your cell phone service, and there are new ones popping up all the time.
00:28:35.180There's only one that boldly stands in the gap for every American that believes that freedom is worth fighting for, and that's the team at Patriot Mobile.
00:28:43.280For more than 12 years, Patriot Mobile has been on the front lines of fighting for our God-given rights and freedoms, while also providing exceptional nationwide cell phone service with access to all three of the main networks.
00:28:57.620Ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans who've made the switch and are now supporting causes they believe in simply by joining Patriot Mobile.
00:35:25.620Utilities in red, get this, red and blue states alike going crazy, allowing the build out of this.
00:35:31.920This year, for example, across the country, according to Chris's DOE data, 91% of new capacity power in the country this year being built is solar, battery storage, and a little bit of wind.
00:36:15.620We've got to throw our bodies in front of that.
00:36:18.460And the two-year extension of the incentives is causing developers and utilities alike, utilities who are massive Republican donors.
00:36:27.180Utility to our massive Republican donors, such as FPL here in Florida, with a $10 billion rate increase that they're trying to jam down ratepayers' throats to build another 130 utility-scale solar farms here.
00:36:40.940Under DeSantis' watch, Republicans fully aware of this, but you're not hearing a peep about this from Washington.
00:36:46.520This is the problem with, as this stuff feeds into raising massive rate hikes.
00:36:51.920Yeah, before we go to the next issue, why don't you give a shout-out what states, what power companies, if the politicians won't say a peep, maybe the war room posse will say a peep.
00:37:03.740What do you recommend for a mass communication strategy?
00:37:07.700Well, we need to pound away in ERCOT, Texas, all solar and battery storage being installed there, still no gas-fired power.
00:37:15.240However, Florida, all of the new capacity for the next 10 years announced by the three regulated utilities is entirely solar and battery storage.
00:37:25.580Blue states, Maryland, and New Jersey have both announced three and four times rate increases, respectively, due to the teardown of coal, nuclear, and stuff that runs all the time and creates cost-effective electricity being displaced with part-time intermittent sources.
00:37:41.080So we're seeing – and the trouble is going to be in that red states are dominantly doing this because of utility Republican donations.
00:37:50.540They're going to be – we're going to have a record landslide of folks thrown out of office locally over this going on, because people know what's happening with this.
00:37:59.600And the Dems are taking advantage of throwing rocks at us.
00:38:05.140We – we're running a hair short on time, but give us two or three minutes, and we'll get you back on to go in-depth dive.
00:38:11.880But, you know, Xi and Putin having energy deals, huge new pipelines being built through Mongolia, where India – we're having a little tension there with them, driving them a little bit toward Russia.
00:38:27.420How does the power politics play out on the energy front in the year – next year or two ahead of us, Dave?
00:38:34.400Well, Putin just went to visit Xi a couple of days ago.
00:38:38.000They announced a second major pipeline into China that's 50 billion cubic meters a day of natural gas on a second pipeline, increasing the existing one 6 billion cubic meters a day.
00:38:50.540So about 147 percent increase in Chinese importation of pipeline gas, which is way cheaper than LNG coming on boats from the U.S. into China to remove any last vestiges of dependency on the U.S. for LNG.
00:39:06.560China will be – the worst effort this Biden war was – Ukraine-Russia activity basically was the alliance of Russia and China militarily and energy-wise.
00:39:18.700They'll be completely independent with Russia on something that they have lacked.
00:39:23.460China has lacked natural gas, wants to build a lot more combined cycle, yes, fully operational 24-hour-a-day power plants to fuel their industrial growth.
00:39:33.120Exactly what we need to be doing here, but we're not doing.
00:39:36.340We're building solar farms all sourced from them.
00:39:39.120So this presents an opportunity to get back into this trade deal.
00:40:00.320But secondly, no reason to be supporting their economy with these kinds of purchases of energy devices from them while they're abandoning U.S. natural gas.
00:40:10.240Well, India is in the penalty box for supporting Russian procurement, but we don't have China.
00:40:15.720We're not putting China in the penalty box in this trade deal for doing exactly the same thing, being an ally of Russia in this Ukraine war, an ally of Iran in their activities with Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:40:27.080And we're letting them get out of jail free pass because we want the trade deal.
00:40:32.000Trade deal cannot include the procurement of solar panels, inverters, and battery storage in China.
00:40:36.520Yeah, this is not a fair question, but economists, when they do their calculations, are supposed to include the full costs of all of our activities.
00:40:47.660So this war, this misplaced war in Ukraine, caused by a coup in our CIA in 2014, along with coups since 1953 in about 70 countries, just back of the envelope, what do you think the energy costs are alone,
00:41:07.140that we've just added on our economy in terms of billions or in terms of GDP growth, if you add on the damage that that war has just inflicted on our economy, just give us some way of looking at it.
00:41:22.560It's a horror show, is what I'm trying to get at.
00:41:27.640Well, just to shut off LNG to China, because of what's happened the last three years, has probably been 60 to 70 billion of terminus of that excellent value.
00:41:42.600Very substantial. But also, this toll taken, all these utility rate increases are, David, all about the application of renewables, which continues to this day, unabated, I'm sorry, under the present administration.
00:41:58.060Except for these announcements on offshore wind, nothing, nada has been done about the mass deployment of solar farms by utilities with Chinese equipment.
00:42:07.320That's been ongoing. That should have been stopped, but it hasn't been stopped.
00:42:11.620Instead, we want a trade deal. We want a trade deal.
00:42:13.920So we're going to sacrifice the U.S. energy economy, I fear, to get a trade deal that allows them to have the importation of this equipment here.
00:42:22.800Europe has actually benefited from this.
00:42:25.240If we could talk about Europe for quite a second.
00:42:27.560They've imported 225 billion worth of oil and gas from Russia during the war at lower prices, because the boycott, all the boycott said was they could import at below 60 bucks a barrel oil from Russia.
00:42:40.640But they've ramped up their imports from Russia during the war.
00:42:43.680So Europe has actually leveraged and economically benefited from this.
00:42:48.300Good. How do people get you, Dave? How do people follow your writings on this stuff? They love it.
00:42:53.160Well, get me on Getter and True Social and X at DaveWalshEnergy. Thank you, David.
00:42:57.980Great job. All right. We'll be back after the break, folks.
00:43:03.140But please support our good friends down in Texas at Patriot Mobile.
00:43:08.800Get in touch. They've been on the show.
00:43:12.080They have been helping out the war room like crazy.
00:43:15.420By your phone, when you call them up, the customer service, the all-American company, all-American workers, all-American service and support.
00:43:46.240He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:43:53.860Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:02.500Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:10.900His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:44:22.460Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:28.620This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:51.380All right, folks, back in the war room.
00:44:59.220I started telling you to support Patriot Mobile.
00:45:02.980I didn't have enough time to tell you how to support them.
00:45:05.640But if you want a firm who actually believes in God-given rights and freedoms and not afraid to say it, God-given rights, this is your phone company, Patriot Mobile.
00:47:00.940And, you know, it does have some anti-woke provisions, but a lot more needs to be done.
00:47:05.440For instance, there's not any sort of ban on transgender or cabaret shows, you know, in the military, which, you know, we can have a discussion on whether those should exist at all.
00:47:17.780But certainly they shouldn't be funded by taxpayer dollars on military bases.
00:47:22.940There's no real description of what types of flags that these units can fly.
00:47:27.500We've had a lot of problems with units flying politicized flags.
00:49:01.240But it's much harder to do the economics, right?
00:49:04.700When you get out the funding streams for Ukraine and Europe and the regs and the spending that goes off to the defense contractors, et cetera,
00:49:25.380Really quickly, this reminds me of the time I was in the Marine Corps and we were testing out PACs.
00:49:30.140And the PAC that everyone universally loved was not the PAC that got chosen by Congress because the member of Congress who represented the factory that produced this one that got second place was the one that got funded.
00:49:46.400And so this is just how the NDA process works.
00:49:49.020It's Congress pushing its own parochial agenda.
00:49:52.160But long story short, you can find it at Citizens for Renewing America.
00:50:27.980They're not going to do 12 bills or might not even do an omnibus because that'll be so bad they'll do a CR because the omni would be bigger than the current spending levels.
00:51:17.560This is my phone that the FBI took at a Hardee's drive-thru three years ago, almost to the day.
00:51:24.600And it took them three years to realize I've done nothing wrong other than want to melt down voting machines and turn them into prison bars.
00:51:34.840And they realized, gee, I guess we can't get them nothing for that.
00:52:34.040Get the big ticket items, mattresses, mattress toppers, with the free shipping on your entire order.
00:52:40.500And Dave, I'll be busy going through all this today to see what they took out of my phone for three years.
00:52:48.160There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is personal debt.
