00:00:00.000we were casting about for a video montage of clips that best sum up the force and the amount
00:00:18.720of institutional lying we in this country have endured over the past three or four years and
00:00:23.880there were so many to choose from but in the end we settled on this because it summed it up pretty
00:00:28.180nicely watch so there's no excuse no excuse for anyone being unvaccinated this continues to be a
00:00:36.240pandemic of the unvaccinated a pandemic and an outbreak of the unvaccinated this is really
00:00:42.480becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated this is becoming a
00:00:50.160pandemic of the unvaccinated this is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated a pandemic of the unvaccinated
00:00:57.060This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
00:01:01.760So again, we could have chose many different topics to remind you of how much lying you have had to live through over the past several years.
00:01:11.760That just seemed like the most obvious and in some ways the most hilarious.
00:01:14.760But what's really interesting about it is how the people around you responded.
00:01:19.340A very large percentage knew it was false because the evidence suggests overwhelmingly that it was, but went along with it anyway on the grounds that it's not even worth fighting back against people that powerful.
00:01:32.860Some smaller percentage actually believed it and you learn something very sad about them, which is that they're credulous, in some cases not super geniuses.
00:01:40.360But there wasn't even smaller percentage who decided, well, wait a second.
00:02:00.640And it was watching those people emerge from the most unlikely places in many cases that was the thrill and has been the ongoing thrill and joy of living in this otherwise very sad moment.
00:02:10.720And one of the people we watched do that was someone, to be honest, didn't expect to see, but not only did it, but kept doing it to a lot of abuse.
00:02:21.880And that was Naomi Wolf, who's been in the public sphere for 35 years anyway, writing and commenting on various things.
00:02:28.760And she's one of the people who decided, you know, I'm not going to say something I think is not true, period.
00:02:31.920And so she's lived the last few years of her life like that.
00:02:35.260And she's the author of a new book about what that experience is like and has been liked.
00:02:39.880It's called Facing the Beast, Courage, Faith, and Resistance in a New Dark Age.
00:02:45.600And we are honored to have her here in the studio.
00:02:47.480Naomi Wolf, thank you so much for coming.
00:02:49.420So what's so interesting, as I said, is the effect that this moment, and it's not just a public health story, I don't think, but this moment of lying has had on certain people.
00:03:02.780So can you just tell us in broad terms when you started to realize this was happening, what effect it had on you and what your life has been like since?
00:03:16.060Well, I realized the whole culture was lying by about July of 2020 because luckily for me, I'd written a book called The End of America in 2007 during the Bush Jr. era.
00:03:33.160Which, by the way, admission, I never even considered reading that book because I was like, Naomi Wolf's on the other side.
00:03:43.440Anyway, sorry, I just wanted to admit that.
00:03:44.440No, it's like we were all wearing blinders about ideology at that time and probably till recently.
00:03:49.960But the reason it was lucky that I had gone through that is that I had looked for my research for that book at times and places throughout history where a fragile democracy had been undermined and there had been a coup.
00:04:04.380So essentially, whether by fascist forces on the right or totalitarian forces on the left, I learned that tyrants always do the same 10 things.
00:04:14.080They took 10 steps to closing an open society.
00:04:17.020So from having done that research, I saw quickly when Governor Cuomo announced that we couldn't meet with more than six people at once in our homes in New York State and, you know, we couldn't assemble to pray.
00:04:29.900I realized we were at step 10, which is martial law, it's emergency law, it's the last step.
00:04:37.060They fast forwarded, they jumped over all the other nine steps.
00:04:39.960And I realized how dangerous that was, because once you have emergency law, anything can happen.
00:04:46.540And then when I realized that I personally was being, I don't know, damaged by powerful forces for not lying, that was a year later, pretty much in June of 2021, when I was doing what I've done for 35 years, which is reporting on a woman's health issue.
00:05:07.660Yeah, I've written three bestsellers about women's sexual and reproductive health.
00:05:14.140And so I was reporting on Twitter that women were reporting eyewitness accounts of themselves, that they were having menstrual dysregulation or symptoms upon receiving the mRNA injection, which had at that point rolled out.
00:05:27.080And I literally just accurately reported this and said something like it bears more investigation.
00:05:31.620And I was overnight, all at once, it was very extraordinary, deplatformed from Twitter, from Facebook, from YouTube, but also all the newspapers and news outlets where I'd been a commentator or columnist for 35 years, ran pieces smearing me and saying I was spreading misinformation.
00:05:52.260And I was an anti-vaxxer and my Wikipedia page changed overnight, which I now understand better because I didn't understand the role of AI at that point in journalism.
00:06:03.100And basically, I became a non-person on the left.
00:06:06.020I was kicked out overnight from my comfortable perch, you know, in the liberal elite media.
00:06:12.920That turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
00:06:15.660You've been occupied since like the early 90s, late 80s.
00:06:48.740Yeah, people I knew, colleagues, friends.
00:06:52.200I mean, it was wholesale because not only had I done the bad thing of questioning the vaccines or just reporting on accurately on a real symptom, which turns out to be a very important symptom.
00:07:05.680Because if you've got menstrual dysregulation in 2021, you're going to have what we now have, which is a 13 to 20% drop in live births, according to government databases throughout the West in 2023 and 2024.
00:07:19.140But I did the bad thing of talking to conservatives.
00:07:22.600Because after I got kicked out of the liberal elite media, interestingly, very interestingly to me, the people who did want to hear what I had to say because they cared about women and babies and families were conservatives.
00:07:36.040And so Steve Bannon had me on his show.
00:07:38.900And I was very happy to speak to him because this was a very important problem that women were facing.
00:07:45.500And, of course, you're not allowed to speak to Steve Bannon.
00:07:50.240And Media Matters went, you know, full on attack because I talked to you about this very important problem affecting women and babies.
00:07:59.380And it was just surreal to me that people who purported to be feminists and egalitarians and to care about women, you know, were very happy to throw this whole issue under the bus.
00:08:12.380If you kind of cross this red line that society had erected kind of overnight where, you know, there were things you're not supposed to question people you're not supposed to talk to.
00:08:53.540It's like I still thought that world existed in which if you're in the news business, you report facts, you know, and and if you're in the media, you can have opinions.
00:09:44.280He's been in, you know, he's he's a veteran.
00:09:48.160And he's been in a lot of scary situations.
00:09:50.140And so he understood very early on that this was a war.
00:09:53.940And because he studies China, he understood that, you know, there were forces that were trying to subvert our country in nonconventional ways.
00:10:04.860And that helped me because it gave me a frame to to understand what was happening.
00:10:38.180It's going to be a winter of severe disease and death.
00:10:41.680For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death for unvaccinated.
00:10:48.400For themselves, their families and the hospitals, they'll soon overwhelm.
00:10:52.600And we had a Christmas vacation with a lot of loved ones planned.
00:10:57.420And it all got canceled, you know, because everyone was in a state of fear because, you know,
00:11:03.900the president on down was saying at that point that, you know, unvaccinated people, let alone people who are trying to warn people about some of the side effects that were emerging were dangerous dissidents who were carrying plague.
00:11:18.860And no amount of of reason would would break through.
00:11:22.680But, yeah, I there were a lot of very painful endings of friendships.
00:11:29.920And as I wrote in Facing the Beast, it wasn't just on the kind of rejecting side.
00:11:37.740And I was witnessing the creation overnight, especially by 2021, 2022 in New York City, where most of my friendships were and most of my colleagues were, but also in Washington.
00:11:51.820The creation of a two-tier society exactly along the same lines as a Jim Crow society or, you know, during the occupation in France when Jews couldn't go certain places.
00:12:04.380And and all these people who were so right on, who were leaders in the feminist movement, you know, who would never discriminate against people of color or against people in the LGBTQ community.
00:12:24.980They were fine with a city, the greatest city on Earth, the most diverse city on Earth, you know, famous melting pot city, New York City.
00:12:32.220They were fine with a situation in which unvaccinated people had to eat in the street like animals.
00:12:37.960I could not walk into a restaurant with my family and they were fine with it.
00:12:42.200And then having, you know, Uber Eats delivery men of color brave, brave, brave the pandemic to bring them sushi like that's right.
00:12:51.760They didn't see any they were not ashamed.
00:12:54.600They were not ashamed of massive discrimination.
00:12:57.320They were I mean, I remember going to a big rally, one of the earliest ones in New York City on behalf of first responders who were being fired because they would not take these mandated totally experimental injections whose trials were still underway till 2023.
00:13:23.420It was an emergency use authorization.
00:13:24.820They had not gone through the normal FDA approval process.
00:13:29.300And reasonably enough, some firefighters and police officers and emergency health care workers didn't want to be the guinea pigs and they were being fired.
00:13:40.340Their kids had no, you know, food to eat.
00:13:43.340They didn't know how they would pay their mortgages.
00:13:44.980And I remember going down to speak at this event and I looked out over the sea of New York City firefighters and police officers and people who come and save you when you've got a heart attack, you know, EMT responders.
00:13:57.980And I was like, where are my where's where where is everyone from my world?
00:14:09.780All the good liberals were fine having the police officers and the firefighters who would save them if they were being robbed or their house was on fire or their kids were in a burning building.
00:14:21.300These guys and girls would run in to save their children.
00:14:25.000My peers were fine letting this be done to them.
00:14:29.200And it was so elitist and so disgusting.
00:58:53.460I'm embarrassed to use the word journey It didn't used to be a cliche I know I know but it is and I'm trying to rid all cliches from my mouth and heart um will you describe what happened to you uh and how your your your thinking is deepened on this did you get a lot of people say wow I had the same experience yes but not not the people I used to be closest to yes they have no idea what I'm talking about they think I'm weird um yes no I don't know if they think I'm weird but no absolutely I mean this is happening you know across the country you know across the country that's really my question.
00:58:57.000People say I'm so glad you're talking about these metaphysical dark forces because I feel them too or I'm so glad you're people who never were um who left organized religion behind totally secular are are feeling I don't know what to say an awakening but it's not like a fake trite no socially normative awakening it's like a genuine blossoming of their hearts in ways that it's surprising even
00:59:23.460them and especially them especially them yes i i am definitely seeing that and i guess what i would
00:59:29.640say and i'm so glad there's a little bit of of hope you know because the last few years have
00:59:34.220been so horrible but if you wonder why would humanity be targeted in this way because we
00:59:41.320haven't even gone into what you know what my team has found right the catastrophic the strokes the
00:59:47.220the neurological disorders the paralysis the arthritic disorders the sudden deaths the
00:59:53.220poisoning of babies the killing of babies in utero like it's all in the pfizer documents at
00:59:58.440industrial scale and they knew this rolling it out you know the white house covering up
01:00:03.320myocarditis in minors in april of 2021 having a freak out communications meeting to cover it up
01:00:09.620crime after crime after crime you you look at this and think why would humanity why would god
01:00:16.460abandon humanity in this way and create such a terrible um why would god let humanity have such
01:00:24.860terrible crime committed against it at global scale but then now looking not back but in the midst of it
01:00:32.640i can't think of another circumstance in which the sheep were separated from the goats in effect in which
01:00:39.220you had to choose are you going to go along with a crime or are you going to speak up for humanity you
01:00:44.320had are you going to walk with the devil or satan or whatever baal and malik are you going to walk
