According to Reuters, the deadly, brain-damaging Nipah virus has “found a way to leap from bats to humans.” Pragya Yadav, the lead scientist on Nipah at India's National Institute of Virology, warns: “Nobody is safe. . . . It will take no time for a disease outbreak to reach anywhere in the world because of international travel and trade.”  As we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, whose origins are still being studied, what happens to any of us can affect all of us.  This is true for our bodies and for our souls.  Author: Jim Denison Narrator: Chris Elkins Subscribe: http://www.denisonforum.org/subscribe Read The Daily Article: https://www.denisonforum.org/daily-article/deadly-bat-virus-finds-new-ways-to-infect-people/    

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/17/2023): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, former City Councilmember Cherelle Parker won the Democrat mayoral primary in Philadelphia—and is expected to win the city's general election in November. She would be the first woman to become Philadelphia Mayor. Notably, Parker campaigned on ending safe injection sites, restoring stop-and-frisk policies, and hiring more police officers to help combat crime throughout the city. With 87% of the total vote reported, Parker received 33% of the vote. Meanwhile, despite support from Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), progressive candidate Helen Gym earned just 21.3% of the vote. Is this the end of Gym's political career? It's unlikely. She's already rumored to be a U.S. Senate candidate in the event Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA) decides not to seek reelection in 2024. 3:25pm- On Tuesday, President Joe Biden met with Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in hopes of successfully negotiating a debt ceiling increase. No agreement was reached. Earlier this month, House Republicans passed legislation that would cut long-term federal spending while concurrently raising the federal debt limit. 3:30pm- Former City Councilmember David Oh won the Republican mayoral primary in Philadelphia on Tuesday. 3:35pm- According to Fox5, “New York City has begun to convert public school gymnasiums into housing for international migrants in the latest effort to accommodate a growing population of asylum-seekers who have overwhelmed the city's homeless shelter system.” The controversial policy has led to wide-spread, massive protests being led by parents. You can read more here: https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-migrant-crisis-public-school-gyms-temporary-housing 3:45pm- According to a report from The Daily Wire's Ryan Saavedra, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has sent over 1,000 soldiers/law enforcement officers to Texas in order to help the state secure the U.S. southern border. You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/florida-sends-800-soldiers-300-law-enforcement-officers-to-help-secure-u-s-border-in-texas 4:05pm- According to reports, the USDA is considering a ban on chocolate milk in public school cafeterias. 4:10pm- While being interviewed on the red carpet of the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre criticized states with bans on gender affirming care for minors. She also stated: "These are our kids. They belong to all of us." 4:30pm- On Tuesday, billionaire Elon Musk spoke with David Faber of CNBC. During the interview, Musk said he would continue to speak freely on Twitter “and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it.” He also criticized progressive political donor George Soros' preferred candidates—comparing him to the fictional supervillain “Magneto.” 4:50pm- Speaking with Bret Baier on Fox News, former Attorney General Bill Barr said that Special Counsel John Durham's newly released report vindicates Donald Trump. Durham's report concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not have sufficient reason to launch an investigation into unsupported allegations that there were ties between Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russian officials. 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Taboo: 10 Facts You Can't Talk About”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Joe Biden's statically inaccurate claim that the greatest threat to America is white supremacy. Dr. Reilly also talks about a hilarious/bizarre Daily Mail article about a female social media influencer who complained that when she wears skimpy “booty shorts” to the gym, she receives unwanted male attention. Dr. Reilly adroitly explains, “I go to bars in a shirt that says, ‘Here to Fist-Fight,' but I am sick of all these fights.” 5:20pm- In a newly released 328-page report compiled by Senator Marco Rubio's (R-FL) office revealed that just prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Chinese government officials pressured bio-labs to produce breakthrough medical advancements regardless of safety concerns. The report also concluded that COVID-19 likely originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. 5:40pm- John Yoo— the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley & a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Special Counsel John Durham's report which concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not have sufficient reason to launch an investigation into unsupported allegations that there were ties between Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russian officials. Will anyone be held accountable? 6:05pm- On Wednesday, Montana became the first state to ban the China-based social media application TikTok when Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill into law. The statewide ban goes into effect until January 1st, 2024. 6:25pm- During an interview with CNN on Tuesday night, a 5th grade teacher from Florida condemned the state's policies of removing conversations about sex and sexual orientation from public school classrooms. The teacher argued that your rights as a parent are gone when your child is in the public school system. 6:40pm- S.P. Sullivan of NJ.com writes: “A new law limiting concealed carry of guns in New Jersey suffered another defeat in federal court Tuesday as a judge ordered state officials not to enforce its tight restrictions pending a flurry of legal challenges from gun rights advocates. The ruling means New Jerseyans with proper permits are free to concealed-carry handguns at beaches, public parks, bars and restaurants—places from where Gov. Phil Murphy…sought to ban firearms in an effort to curb gun violence.” You can read Sullivan's full article here: https://www.nj.com/news/2023/05/gun-rights-advocates-win-major-challenge-to-njs-tough-concealed-carry-law.html

Funding is renewed for a U.S. agency that's come under fire for working with the Wuhan Institute for Virology. We hear from some lawmakers and medical experts who are concerned about the grant money. Former President Donald Trump has been found liable in court in the assault case from writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump's attorney called the allegations “odd and unbelievable.” How much did the jury award Carroll? A high-stakes face-off takes place as President Joe Biden meets House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over the debt ceiling. Will they come together as an unprecedented default is looming? Congressman Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) joins us to offer the GOP perspective on the debt ceiling talks. Apart from raising the debt ceiling for the time being, what is a long-term plan to balance the budget? Does the House GOP have a smoking gun on the Bidens' business dealings? That's the question as House Republicans gear up to make public their discoveries after months of investigations. Frank Gaffney from the Center for Security Policy joins us to explore Tucker Carlson's exit from Fox News. What impact will this have on the conservative movement? ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

India is at the centre of much of the discussion on this week's episode of Science In Action. We hear about how a proposal to scrap Darwinian evolution from Indian secondary schools has led to signatures from thousands of scientists. Dr Vineeta Bal, Researcher at the National University of Immunology, is one of the signatories on a petition against the proposed changes. We spoke to her about why she is against them. Also in India, a new Sars-Cov-2 variant, named XBBX.16 is being studied by epidemiologists in the country. Dr Rajesh Karyakarte, professor of microbiology at BJ Government Medical College, Pune, India, is behind the study. Further study of the variant has been looked into by Kei Sato, professor of Systems Virology at the University of Tokyo. Kei has been mapping how new variants could cause us problems, ahead of them doing so. This kind of forward planning is something praised by Paul Bienaisz, Professor of Virology at The Rockefeller university. We talk to him about how vital this kind of work still is, even if many of us have confined the about the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic to memory. Lastly, we hear from Dr Usama Kadri, Senior Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Cardiff University who has looked at how we might be able to use a novel bit of technology of underwater technology (called hydrophones), often used for animal conservation, to be able to detect earthquakes in the deep sea.

Science writer Philip Ball has followed the relationship between government and its scientific advisors throughout the pandemic. He discusses the role of scientific advisors in the light of conflicting information following the leak of a number of former Health Minister Matt Hancock's WhatsApp messages. Phil tells us why he believes greater transpearency is needed around the advice offered to government. The head of the US FBI has suggested the Covid 19 pandemic may have been started through a leak from a laboratory. No evidence has been offered. The ‘lab leak ‘ theory is the counter idea to Covid having a natural origin. We hear from three scientists who have been to China to investigate different aspects of the virus origins story. Journalist and microbiologist Jane Qui visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology – the lab at the centre of the lab leak theory. Marion Koopmans from Erasmus University in Rotterdam was a member of the WHO mission to China to investigate the origins of Covid 19. And Eddie Holmes from the University of Sydney visited the market in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak. Besides inflating party balloons helium gas has a vast range of industrial uses, particularly as a coolant. There's a world shortage, and helium is only extracted with fossil fuels such as coal and methane gas. Earth scientist Anran Cheng at the University of Oxford has developed a method to look for helium deposits without the fossil fuel connection. And ever wondered how heavy all the animals in the world might be ? We have the answer thanks to Ron Milo and Lior Greenspoon from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.

For most of our lives, we've been taught that viruses make us sick. But there is important evidence that has been overlooked by both virologists and the public. Today, Alec Zeck, the Executive Director and Founder of the Way Forward, breaks down viruses. He reviews the history of virology, the assumptions behind the science, and explains where we've gone wrong in our understanding of what causes ill health. His conclusions, based on his extensive research, paint a very different picture of the "pandemic" of recent years and offer insights for the days ahead. This is an episode that may challenge what many of us thought we knew about viruses. Visit Alec's website: The Way Forward Become a member of the Weston A.

Earlier in the week we aired Part One of a Two Part Special – detailing events at Wuhan up to December 2019 as the pandemic started. Now we'll shift our focus, examining events that transpired as the pandemic unfolded. Specifically, the cover up of Covid's true origins that began almost immediately as word began to filter out of the City of Wuhan. At the epicenter was Fauci's funding of gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Funding that was funneled through, among other sources, Peter Daszak's EcoHealth. Despite the narrative carried by the media, information surrounding a lab origin was always available and it shows that, from the very beginning, the lab leak theory was the only viable theory. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Sheryl Gay Stolberg, the iconic health policy/politics reporter at the New York Times, helps us inaugurate The CommonHealth podcast, companion to the newly launched CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security. Her recent prodigious output delves deeply into the evolving – and thoroughly confusing – story of the swirling debate over Covid origin in China. The Biden administration will soon declassify what intelligence it has on the Wuhan Institute of Virology: what might that mean? Will it cast light on the Institute's cooperation with the Chinese military? Is a legitimate civil debate possible in America? Will we ever get the evidence to reach serious conclusions? Yikes! Give it a listen.

On this episode, Jason sheds light on how tennis star Novak Djokovic is still not allowed to compete in the United States due to his decision to not take the COVID-19 vaccine. Later, he brings on the stupid with a wild take on The View, about whether or not COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.   Then, Jason sits down with the Host of Varney & Co. on FOX Business, Stuart Varney, to discuss how he ended up as a FOX anchor, and how his global travels as a young man influenced his eventual career moves. Plus, he gives some pointed criticism for his former boss at CNN, Ted Turner as well as a behind-the-scenes look at working at FOX. Later, he details his admiration for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.   Follow Jason on Twitter: @JasonInTheHouse Learn more about your ad choices.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber—ready to deliver an inclusive and diverse discussion on the most important topics of the day—giving you better analysis and insight that anyone else—shining a spotlight on the cockroaches of the swamp—and delivering truth and justice just when hope was starting to fade—   Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— With the threat of an arrest looming—Donald Trump has opened up the biggest lead yet in the field of GOP Presidential candidates—oh, and the arrest has not happened—   Number Two— Could there be a flesh eating Zombie drug on the streets of America—it sure seems that way—and it has people on the front lines very concerned—   Number Three— I will start today with an ominous warning about the Covid Pandemic—where it came from—and worse—far worse—what might happen the next time a bug like that gets loose in the world—   The arguments over the origins of Covid have been at the forefront of many arguments regarding the pandemic—I told you here on this program—that Covid was most likely a deadly pathogen that leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology—and I told you that in February of 2020—   I also used numbers provided by the Ohio Department of Health at about the same time—and the mathematical explanation of the doubling time of the infections in the nation—and the number of cases that were reported in Ohio at the time—and the number of cases that were estimated by the director of that agency—to work backwards—and I concluded that the virus was on the ground in America before Thanksgiving of 2019—   Both of those hypothesis were widely panned and attacked in this country—the major news outlets and all the public health organizations attacked openly the idea of a lab leak— And instead pushed the idea that the virus jumped naturally from some animal to humans—   The problem of course from the beginning with the wet market theory—was that the known carrier of the disease—the intermediate horseshoe bat—lived 900 miles from Wuhan and no colony was known to live any closer—and that meant—quite obviously—it had been brought to town—because magic bats didn't fly 900 miles to join the party at the wet market—   Now the former Director the CDC is giving more credence to everything I said then and have repeated ever since—   I was shadow banned on Twitter—I was almost de-platformed on Facebook during the pandemic—and why? Because I applied logic and science to explain what should have been obvious to everyone—the virus was man made and it was released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology— But even today—I run the risk of getting cancelled—because the very powerful globalists—do not want to admit any of this—however—with Joe Biden having no choice but to sign a bill declassifying all of the information about the origins of Covid this week—the truth is coming out—whether Anthony Fauci, George Soros, Bill Gates, The WEF or the Davos crowd likes it or not—the Truth Train is rolling into town—and I am still the engineer— And while this is all coming out now—a brand new documentary about the pandemic is being released on PBS—and it includes an ugly exchange between Anthony Fauci and a man on his front porch in Washington DC—  And it brings me back to the epic battles between Anthony Fauci and Rand Paul—  

The public will soon gain access to intelligence on the potential origins of the pandemic after President Joe Biden just signed a bill to declassify the details. This follows rare, unanimous bipartisan votes in both the House and Senate. At the center of the debate is the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

It has been an eventful couple of weeks on Capitol Hill, as news surrounding the origins of COVID-19 and the future of the economy continue surprising both government officials and the American public. As a result, House Republicans are hard at work digging into both topics -- as the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic investigates the lack of transparency given to Americans regarding the origins of COVID-19, and the House Ways and Means Committee holds hearings regarding the President's new budget proposal, the national debt, and inflation. New York Republican Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, a member of the House and Ways Committee, joins to discuss House Republicans' unanimous vote to declassify information relating to links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and COVID's origins and what she learned from questioning Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen at the latest House Ways and Means hearing. She also discusses her new bill, the "Prosecutors Need to Prosecute Act." This past Sunday marked the 20th anniversary of the return of Elizabeth Smart. It shocked many to learn the 14-year-old girl was alive after the nine months she spent in captivity after being abducted right from her bedroom in Salt Lake City, Utah. The case captured the attention of the nation, and now the publicist who managed the media on behalf of the Smart family following her kidnapping has written a book, Unexpected: The Backstory of Finding Elizabeth Smart. The author, Chris Thomas, joins to break down new details about the infamous search for the missing teenager and the difficulties the Smart family had with the media. He remembers the moment it was discovered that Elizabeth Smart was alive and highlights how Elizabeth and her family continue to advocate for women, girls, and abuse victims. Plus, commentary by former White House Press Secretary & 'Outnumbered' Co-Host, Kayleigh McEnany. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
