Podcasts about Ideology

The legal fallout continues as Meta reaches a landmark $17+ billion settlement with state attorneys general, forcing major changes to Facebook and Instagram. Behind the headline provisions like daily screen-time caps, overnight notification blocks, and parental controls lies a fierce national debate over mandatory age verification. We break down how mandatory age-assurance tech, digital IDs, and facial scanning requirements could permanently eliminate online anonymity. Are these measures really protecting kids, or are they paving the way for digital tracking and heightened government oversight? Watch for the full breakdown of what this historic agreement means for your digital privacy!

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse joins Ken Craycraft for a provocative conversation about women's sports, transgender ideology, equality, and the true meaning of human dignity. Beginning with the controversies surrounding the WNBA and biological differences between men and women, Dr. Morse and Craycraft examine what happens when equality is treated as sameness. Their conversation then turns to a deeper question: What gives a human person dignity? They argue that authentic human dignity does not depend on athletic ability, achievement, status, health, or making everyone equivalent. Rather, the Christian understanding of dignity begins with the fundamental worth of every person created in the image and likeness of God. A wide-ranging discussion about biological reality, ideological equality, and why recognizing our differences does not diminish our human dignity.

Dr. Fauci was paid a salary higher than the President and qualified for the largest federal retirement pension in US history. Fox News reports Fauci and his wife Dr. Christine Grady “reported a combined $12.6 million net worth in 2021” – up from $7.6 million in 2019, before the pandemic. But after his former top advisor Dr. David Morens pleaded guilty to attempting to conceal COVID documents, Fauci's team has launched the “Anthony S. Fauci M.D. Legal Defense Fund” in preparation for expected the costs of his legal cases. “If Fauci is tried in federal court,” writes John Leake, “the entire rotten edifice of complicit federal agencies would also be exposed, so don't hold your breath for the Justice Department to prosecute him.” Also on today's show: chef Palmer Fortune, who got his sixth DUI in November 2005 with $120 to his name, borrowed $5,000 to get into a North Georgia recovery house, and stayed 19 months. He now owns Palmer's Hot Chicken, Porch, and Palmer's Village Café on St. Simon's Island, Georgia, and hires employees working to get sober. John Leake is the New York Times bestselling author of “Mind Viruses: America's Irrational Obsessions” and writes a daily investigative report for the Focal Points Substack. He coauthored “Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality” with Dr. Peter McCullough and he is secretary of the McCullough Foundation.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and one of my favorite authors, Dr. Clark Carlton, for a conversation about Protestantism, Orthodoxy, and what happens when Christianity becomes less a lived, sacramental faith and more an ideology derived from a text. Clark takes us through the history of American Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism, including the Southern Baptist "Conservative Resurgence," and asks an important question: why do conservative Protestant movements seem to win battles while the larger drift continues? His answer goes much deeper than politics, wokeness, or simply blaming theological liberals. We get into sola scriptura, the relationship between Scripture and the Church, Fundamentalism's attempt to fight rationalism with rationalism, and Clark's argument that Orthodoxy begins from an entirely different understanding of Christianity—not primarily as a system of ideas, but as life in Christ and participation in His Body, the Church. Clark is also co-founder and editorial director of the Philip Ludwell III Orthodox Fellowship, which works to nurture and grow the Orthodox faith in the American South.

Meghan's guest this week is journalist Michael Powell, a staff writer at The Atlantic and longtime former New York Times reporter whom she has admired for years for his willingness to report on thorny, third-rail cultural topics. She talked with him about his recent reporting on chronic street homelessness, drug addiction, and the real-world consequences of progressive governance. Specifically, they discussed how the "harm reduction" model plays out in cities like Burlington and Seattle, and why mainstream media newsrooms have become so hesitant to cover complex cultural realities.   This conversation covers:   The Reality of "Harm Reduction": How an approach born during the AIDS crisis expanded into policies that enable public fentanyl use while leaving working-class neighborhoods to deal with the fallout. Navigating the "Third Rail" Beat: What Michael learned covering sensitive cultural flashpoints—from campus racial controversies to gender sports eligibility—at The New York Times. Ideology vs. Lived Experience: The disconnect between well-meaning policy rhetoric and the daily struggles of local residents, parents, and small business owners. The Culture of Modern Newsrooms: Why institutional conformity, luxury beliefs, and fear of social media backlash stifle honest journalism—and why independent inquiry matters.   Read Michael Powell's writing for The Atlantic:

Institutions confuse their own survival with the work of God. Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Ashish Varma close the diagnostic arc of this series with transaction, meaning the trade a person or an organization makes when preserving the platform becomes more important than the faithfulness the platform was built for. The anchor text is Jeroboam, who sets up worship at Dan and Bethel not to introduce a different god but to keep his people from traveling south. Varma's reading sharpens it: the question is whether Israel gathers around the presence of God or whether God is expected to gather around Israel. The conversation turns on how easily success gets read as approval. Spencer flags the language of institutions insisting that God needs them to be what they are now more than ever. Varma answers with Habakkuk, where God raises up Babylon in response to injustice and Babylon is still judged for how it behaves, and extends the point to a mission history in which the gospel genuinely spread through colonial expansion that was itself blessed by churches and was still indefensible. Being used is not the same as being approved. Spencer adds Nebuchadnezzar, named as God's servant and punished seventy years later, and the distinction holds: the exile was deserved, the brutality was not. What follows is uncomfortable for anyone who works in one of these places. Institutions may end because their course is run, or because they failed, or in spite of their faithfulness, and outcomes do not tell you which. Spencer, who consults with seminaries and Christian colleges, describes leaders trapped by buildings, accreditation, and systems, protecting a vehicle rather than the thing the vehicle was for. Nobody pursues a doctorate in order to preserve an institution. The question both men land on is whether the model has quietly been substituted for the mission.

Ed Morrissey, Managing Editor at Hot Air, and host of the Ed Morrissey Podcast, starts the show off with Seth to discuss the rise of Islamist ideology in America. Ed explains how the Islamist movement is gaining traction in the U.S., citing the example of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate who's been making waves in Michigan with his ties to the Islamic Society of North America. Ed also shares his thoughts on the use of the term "Islamophobia" and how it's often misused to silence critics of Islamist ideology. Happy Birthday to the late Kenny Rogers!

Gary Rivlin — Multi-Part, Part Two: Gary Rivlin turns to the clash of ideologies and corporate power plays defining the current AI era. Rivlin details the divide between accelerationists, who believe AI progress should not be hindered by regulation, and doomers, who fear catastrophic risks. He notes that while the public is often fearful, safety measures and government standards, similar to those developed for the automobile and railroad industries, are essential to building trust. The conversation addresses critical concerns regarding privacy, copyright, and the cultural biases of AI creators, who are largely a small group of young male gamers. The melodrama of the trillion-dollar race is exemplified by the November 2023 firing of Sam Altman by OpenAI's nonprofit board, which felt he was prioritizing commercial growth over safety. Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella expertly navigated this crisis, nearly hiring the entire OpenAI staff before Altman's reinstatement, and later hiring Mustafa Suleyman and the team from Inflection AI to bolster Microsoft's internal efforts. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg has adopted an open-source strategy for Meta to challenge the dominance of closed-source rivals such as Google and OpenAI. Finally, the segment highlights a major shift in regulation; while the Biden administration sought common-sense testing requirements, the Trump administration and figures such as JD Vance favor an aggressive accelerationist stance to ensure the United States defeats China in the global race to dominate and cash in on artificial intelligence.

Samuel Moyn is a professor at Yale Law School. He joins the podcast to talk about his new book Gerontocracy in America: How the Old Are Hoarding Power and Wealth—and What to Do About It. Richard Hanania questions him on the book's embrace of socialism, and the two debate the empirical evidence relevant to whether it can work in the US. The interviewer brings up the issue of entitlements, which are becoming an increasing share of the federal budget and will in the coming decades crowd out other priorities. Doesn't a concern with gerontocracy imply that we should at the very least stop redistributing money from the young to the old? Moyn reveals that he was originally thinking about calling for means testing in the book, but was eventually convinced that this would undermine public support for Social Security and Medicare. Near the end, the conversation focuses on philosophical questions about what makes a good life. Moyn believes that the old need to have their money and resources taken away, and be forced to rely on the state. This raises the question of whether we should try to make people as wealthy as possible so they can pursue their own ends, or rather have the government take more of a role in making sure they find creativity and meaning. Hanania brings up Jimmy Buffett-themed retirement communities as an embodiment of the kind of preference-driven lifestyle choices that would be much less likely to exist under what Moyn calls “utopian socialism.”For more on the ideas discussed in this podcast, see also Hanania's review of Gerontocracy in America here.

Air Date: 8/16/2026 Today we look at what Toni Morrison called "sanctioned ignorance," the deliberate manufacture of a version of the past that keeps citizens from connecting the dots between what their government did then and what it's doing now. They're doing it by attacking museums, libraries, and everyone dedicated to ensuring that people have access to accurate information because that's what it takes to implement authoritarian control over a society. It's also the reason that countries under authoritarian rule suffer from the lack of benefits that comes with the free exchange of ideas. Full Show Notes Transcript Be part of the show!

Something called 'populism' is on the rise across much of the world. It's difficult to pin down exactly what the term means, but most of us have a sense that we know it when we see it. Trump in the United States, Farage in Britain, Hanson in Australia – all of these politicians have adopted a particular kind of posture towards the public and towards the political establishment. Richard Hanania thinks that populism is a very bad thing, since he argues that it reliably leads to 'kakistocracy' – that is, government by the worst, least qualified, and most unscrupulous. Richard didn't always feel this way. He used to be on the far right and, as a pseudononymous writer, endorsed white supremacist and other radically anti-progressive positions. He later disavowed those views and shifted towards a more mainstream conservative position, gaining influence on the MAGA Right. Recently, he's shifted again, becoming one of the most vehement Right wing critics of MAGA and of populism more broadly. Richard Hanania is an UnHerd columnist, the president of the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, and the author of a Substack focused on foreign policy, American politics, and social science.

Episode 402 of RevolutionZ moves from part one of a sequence about ideology to part two of it, from critique of an old ideology to transcend to offering a  a new one to consider and extend.  Too often activists agree on outrage but fracture over the explanation,  strategy, root cause, and solution. The last few episodes have argued that Marxism Leninism not only doesn't preclude such divisions, but  to elicit them. So this time we begin a new sequence of episodes to propose an alternative for your consideration. The new series works off of Liberating Theory, a collectively written book that Michael Albert co-authored with Leslie Cagan, Noam Chomsky, Robin Hahnel, Mel King, Lydia Sargent, and Holly Sklar, built around what we took to be a pressing need for a shared conceptual toolbox that would help movements understand society well enough to collectively change it. Albert and Hahnel generated a first draft but then all seven corrected, appended, and refined our way through subsequent drafts. At the very outset, we each individually offered a brief statement of our advocacy of the finished book, our hopes and motives for it, including of the tension we all felt between winning immediate relief from oppression and building a future worth fighting for. From there the book digs right into method: for example, why activist theory has to be accurate but also usable in trying circumstances, why it has to confront race, gender, class, and authority without turning any one of them into the only story, and how without effective concepts movements can unintentionally reproduce the very biases and even hierarchies they oppose. That takes us into a critique of using a toolbox that elevates one or another sphere of social life as the primary key to social change, the limits of eclectic pluralism that mechanically combines two or more spheres without addressing how their intersections can alter even the defining attributes of each, and the authors attempt to build a more integrated framework that the book calls "complementary holism." We also introduce the book's fictional and informal dialogues that we designed to provoke debate even as they offer some humor. A Marxist Leninist, a radical feminist, a nationalist, an anarchist, an advocate of Liberating Theory and others argue over what belongs at the center of analysis, who gets erased in coalitions, and the “stew” problem of mixing perspectives without one flavor swallowing the rest. The authors were all deeply involved in movement life, organizing, writing, etc. They felt a pressing need for shared vision and strategy and to achieve it they felt movements needed to share an underlying conceptual framework as well. They came together to all work on the resulting framework that they called Liberating Theory. I, Michael, am taking a liberty in presenting it to you as an episode a full forty years after we collectively settled on and signed our names to its words.What Liberating Theory tells us about the mid eighties and more important about whether its insights live up to present needs and potentials is for you to determine. Support the show

In this video, we explore why Muslim youth are drawn to hadith rejection and Qur'an only ideologies, tracing the pattern back to broken hearts and harsh treatment within religious communities, before turning to examples from the Prophet's ﷺ life that model compassion over harshness, and laying out why the sunnah is essential to properly understanding and practicing Islam.

Todd Friel, executive director of Fortis Institute, discusses the growing influence of neo-Nazi ideology among young men and within Christian circles, as well as the problem of deficient Gospel presentations and what biblical evangelism should look like. http://FortisInstitute.org

In today’s news cycle, what is drawing the most attention is competing ideologies: Islam, Communism, Darwinism – and even Ai? Is that an ideology, or just a basket of algorithms? We talk about all these movements that are converging on our world all at once. Meanwhile, the Christian voice is being drowned out, by design – and yet, as Gamaliel famously said in Acts 5:38-39, “ And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;  but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.” And all these ideologies do just that – fight against God. But God is on the throne, we read the end of the book and we know who wins. So how can we come against all these philosophies of men and still be heard? The still small voice of God that Elijah heard still saves – one heart at a time. What can man do to me? A timely discussion of ideologies and elections and when it all comes to nothing. 

When we ignore or fail to counter the culture's "wisdom" in any arena we are failing to be obedient to Christ and His Word! Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Proverbs 3:5-6; Colossians 2:8; 1 John 4:1)!

Anthony Rispo came up on the progressive left — a gay man who found a home in an ideology that rewarded his grievance, teal hair and half-mohawk included. Then the pandemic, BLM, and the campus orthodoxy around him stopped adding up, and he read his way out. Now a writer, independent researcher, and Columbia psychology graduate studying cognitive neuroscience, he maps the wiring beneath our politics: identity fusion, moral conviction, selective empathy, and the resentment Nietzsche named. We get into why the left cancels hardest in the name of compassion, why “power and privilege” became a substitute for a self, how the same rigidity shows up on the right, and what common sense on borders and belonging really means.(00:00) Palestinians Then Vs Now(00:35) Opening Conversation(04:20) Anthony's Origin Story(11:35) From Woke to Doubt(27:56) Losing Friends Finding Voice(37:15) Psychology of Ideology(54:54) Clarity Over Conformity(58:33) Nuance Through Exposure(01:02:44) Individualism Vs The Tribe(01:08:18) Intersectionality Critique(01:14:54) From 9/11 to Academia(01:24:42) The Problem with No BordersGuest LinksInstagram: @anthonyrispoSubstack: rispo.substack.comConnect with UsJoin RATH AcademyStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetFollow us on InstagramJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch All Episodes

What did it mean to train as an officer in the East German Air Force, where technical skill, military discipline and socialist ideology were inseparable? Roland recalls his journey into the air arm of the Nationale Volksarmee, from dreams of flying MiG fighters to the demanding realities of officer training and service with Mi-8 helicopters. He describes the long days, intensive political instruction and constant expectation that war with NATO could erupt at any moment. Behind the impressive aircraft and tightly controlled military routines lay a system shaped by loyalty, surveillance and pressure to conform. Yet everyday life also depended on friendship, professionalism and the determination to keep complex Soviet-built machines flying. Roland offers a rare first-hand view inside one of the Warsaw Pact's most secretive forces, revealing how young East Germans were prepared to defend the GDR—and what happened when Gorbachev's reforms and growing unrest began to challenge everything they had been taught. You'll have to tune in next week for Roland's experiences as East Germany implodes and his subsequent service in the Bundeswehr.

In a world filled with competing ideologies, cultural trends, and conflicting messages, how do believers remain steadfast in their faith? Rodgers Atwebembeire explores what it truly means to develop and maintain a biblical worldview—one anchored entirely in the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ.Key topics:• What is a worldview? Understanding how invisible "lenses" shape our purpose, identity, and perspective on suffering.• The danger of alternative ideologies: Recognizing subtle spiritual deceptions that affirm Jesus as "good," but deny Him as sufficient.• Anchored in Scripture: What it means to walk in Christ—rooted, built up, and established in Christian truth.• The supremacy of Christ: Reframing our lives around the truth that the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily in Jesus.

This episode explores the psychological profile and behavioral motivations of Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, analyzing how grandiosity, ideological radicalization, and anti-social traits fused to create one of history's most notorious militants. Through the lens of forensic analysis, we examine the dynamic shift from his early operations with the PFLP to his later self-aggrandizing campaign of mercenary violence. The narrative dissects how severe narcissistic features, externalization of blame, and the psychological impact of decades spent as a global fugitive ultimately shaped his trial behavior and lifetime incarceration in France.

In this episode: Has ideology replaced merit in leadership decisions? DEI, promotions, and executive appointments. The impact on officer morale and retention. Public safety vs. political messaging.

For the last ten years, conservatives have been fighting wokeism. And in a lot of ways, they've been winning. States have passed legislation. Courts have pushed back. Parents have shown up to school board meetings. And yet — the Left is not retreating. They're advancing. Because what most people don't realize is that wokeism was never the ideology. It was the symptom. The ideology is called Third Worldism. It's older, it's more radical, and it didn't just elect the Mayor of New York City — it's already reshaping entire nations. Look at Europe. Today I want to explain exactly what Third Worldism is, why it's spreading faster than wokeism ever did, and what happens if the West loses this argument.SPONSOR: American FinancingWith the cost of gas, groceries, and insurance staying high, high-interest credit card debt can quietly drain your finances.

July 31, 2026Trump is reportedly “exasperated” that the Iran War, for which there was no real strategy, is dragging on and his advisors can't agree on what to do, Trump told reporters he plans on heavy military strikes against Iran, Instead of a strategy, Trump and Secretary of Defense Hegseth had an ideology, That ideology celebrates individualism, and sees education, expertise, cooperation, and coalition building as  weaknesses not strengths, Trump and his aides are attacking the International Criminal Court as Trump and administration officials appear to be worried about future prosecution for human rights violations, Strikes against small boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific have killed more than 220 people and appear to have done little to stop the flow of illegal drugs, The leadership of US combat commands support the restoration of Pentagon personnel whose job it is to protect civilians but Hegseth has not committed to that restoration, At an AIDS conference in Brazil, an official of the US State Department showed a map of Africa on which there were fake countries with the names of random real countries.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the 5th Amendment to the Constitution,” Dr. Fauci told the Senate and the American people, in response to every question about his involvement in funding dangerous gain of function research in Wuhan, China, and new revelations found in his COVID-era diary released by Senator Rand Paul. “What does the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution say?” Senator Moreno asked Fauci. “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the 5th Amendment to the Constitution,” Fauci replied, again. Dr. Fauci also pleaded the fifth about communications with Dr. David Morens, the Ecohealth Alliance, the millions of dollars in cash rewards he received in prizes – and even about the color tie he was wearing. Dr. Peter McCullough and Jeffrey Tucker join Dr. Drew to react to Dr. Fauci's hearing, the bombshells in Sen. Paul's new documents, and if Dr. Fauci will ever tell the full truth about the pandemic. Dr. Peter McCullough is a renowned internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist, and serves as Chief Scientific Officer of The Wellness Company.

Political theology is finally having its moment — every op-ed columnist reaching for Christian nationalism, every neoreactionary tech founder invoking the katechon, every mainline pastor watching JD Vance lecture the Pope about just war doctrine, every abolitionist community organizer working the intersection between the sacred and the political. And yet almost no one seems to know what political theology actually is. Luke Bretherton and Vincent Lloyd — two of the three co-authors of a genuinely important new Columbia University Press book, What Is Political Theology? — sat down with me to explain what they had done. The book itself models the thing it argues for: three scholars from three disciplines refusing to synthesize their differences and instead sitting inside the productive tension. In one hour we cover why the standard Carl Schmitt genealogy needs to be de-centered, what from above and from below are actually good for, why secularism is not a neutral space but an ideology, what Peter Thiel's Antichrist lectures accidentally reveal, why Richard Dawkins now identifies as a cultural Christian, and what the difference between apophatic and cataphatic is currently doing to Luke's and Vincent's friendship. Live disagreement, on tape. The nice version. You can watch the video on YouTube Dr. Luke Bretherton is Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford, one of the most senior chairs in British theology, appointed by the Crown. Previously, he was Robert E. Cushman Distinguished Professor of Moral and Political Theology at Duke Divinity School. An ordained Church of England priest. Dr. Vincent W. Lloyd is Professor of Theology and Religious Studies and Director of the Center for Political Theology at Villanova University, and an editor of the journal Political Theology.  The book at the center of this conversation is What Is Political Theology?, co-authored with Dr. Valentina Napolitano, Professor of Anthropology and Connaught Scholar at the University of Toronto, whose chapter offers an anthropological political theology out of her research on global Catholicism, migration, and the U.S./Canada borderlands.

Former senior Treasury official David Pearl argues that Australia's decline is not fate but the product of bad choices made by the people running our institutions.He contends that Treasury, once feared for its razor-sharp scrutiny of policy, has been captured from above by secretaries who treat emissions reduction as a moral imperative rather than a trade-off, and who withhold the true cost of the energy transition — a figure he puts as high as $1 trillion.David Pearl is a former assistant secretary of the Australian Treasury and now a full-time writer and commentator on economic and cultural policy. He spent some three decades in the federal bureaucracy, with postings to the OECD in the late 1990s and a period as the Treasurer's representative in the United States, working across taxation, fiscal management and energy policy. He writes regularly for The Australian and The Spectator Australia and appears frequently on Sky News, where he has been among the most persistent critics of Treasury's modelling of the renewable energy transition.

Brandy Shufutinsky details how Qatar has provided extensive grants for Arabic language and culture programs in U.S.K-12 schools. These programs often utilize textbooks that omit Israel from maps and glorify extremist ideologies. Qatar Foundation International (QFI) even funds teacher salaries and work visas, raising concerns about who these educators truly report to. This funding creates a "pipeline" from elementary school to higher education, potentially instilling foreign-influenced perspectives in future generations of American citizens. (15)SEPTEMBER 1932

Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough on mRNA Persistence, Nattokinase, and the Fight Over COVID-19 Treatment" Six years after standing before the US Senate and calling out the pandemic response in real time, Dr. Peter McCullough returns with new evidence on where the spike protein came from, how long it persists in the body after infection or vaccination, and what's being done to break it down. This episode traces the science from a 2015 gain-of-function paper to a patient still showing circulating spike protein 3.6 years after vaccination. Get Dr. McCullough's free spike protein guide: myfreespikeguide.com Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Peter McCullough, a physician trained in internal medicine, cardiology, and epidemiology, and one of the most published and most censored voices of the COVID-19 pandemic. He authored the first multi-drug treatment protocol for COVID-19, testified before the US Senate in 2020 and again in 2025, and has published extensively in the peer-reviewed literature on vaccine safety, spike protein biology, and early treatment. His book Courage to Face COVID-19 and his most recent New York Times bestseller, Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology and Reality, examine the history and science behind vaccine policy. Dave and Dr. McCullough trace the origins of the spike protein back to 2015 and 2016 research papers describing a lab-created, SARS-like coronavirus explicitly labeled "poised for human emergence," and discuss the funding, institutions, and researchers involved. They break down why synthetic mRNA vaccines resist the body's normal RNA breakdown process, what a patient case revealed about spike protein circulating 3.6 years after vaccination, and how nattokinase, a natural enzyme, has shown the ability to break the spike protein down. They also cover the suppression campaigns against ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, the wartime propaganda origins of terms like "misinformation" and "anti-vaxxer," and what Dr. McCullough says he would do differently if he ran HHS. The conversation closes with new research on cognitive superagers, the small percentage of people who reach 100 with intact memory and health. You'll Learn: Why 2015 and 2016 research papers described a lab-created coronavirus as "poised for human emergence" years before the pandemic Why synthetic mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines resists the body's natural RNA breakdown process What one patient's case revealed about spike protein still circulating 3.6 years after vaccination How nattokinase, a natural enzyme, has been shown to break down the spike protein Why the FDA and FTC targeted ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and companies selling nasal sprays during the pandemic The wartime propaganda origins of terms like "misinformation," "disinformation," and "anti-vaxxer" What Dr. McCullough says he would do first if he were running HHS What research on cognitive superagers reveals about the small number of people who reach 100 with intact health Thank you to our sponsors! - TrueDark | Visit truedark.com and use code DAVEASPREY15 (discount applies to all frames except Aegis) - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.
