Welcome everybody to the Wednesday edition of Just the News. No Noise. I'm your host Amanda Head, reporting to you from the nation's Capital in Washington, D.C. and my co host and Just the News Editor in Chief John Solomon is out on assignment tonight. And I have been meaning to say this for a week now. Since Charlie Kirk's assassination and since we have seen wicked and vile hearts out there overflowing through people's mouths and out their fingertips into their keyboards, I'm just about a millimeter away from being a free speech absolutist. I'm very close to extreme on 1A. But here's the deal. We are living in a time when people are getting canned left and right for the vile stuff that they post on social media and then they turn around and scream my free speech is under attack. So let's get one thing straight. There's a world of difference between free speech and inciting violence, and too many folks out there are deliberately blurring that line to play the victim. Free speech means that you can share your opinions, even the ones that make people roll their eyes or clutch their pearls. But when your posts are calling for harm, stirring up mobs, or spreading hate, that puts people in danger. That's not just an opinion, that's incitement. And it's got no shield under the First Amendment. That Supreme Court's made that pretty clear since Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969. So if your words are intended to provoke illegal activity or are likely to produce it, you're not waving the free speech flag. You are lighting a match. And let's talk about the workplace, because that's where this drama is playing out in 28 states. Right to work states. Employers can fire you for any reason or for no reason at all. You could get the boot for wearing socks with sandals, posting a spicy meme, or just because your boss woke up woke up grumpy. That's the deal. Freedom of speech means that we're not going to lock you up for things like they do in the uk. But when you get fired for a social media post that's got your boss's company's name trending for all the wrong reasons, you don't get to cry unfair when the law literally says your job isn't guaranteed. Companies aren't charities. They are not going to keep you on payroll when your online rants are scammed, scaring off customers or making the workplace toxic. That's not censorship, that's business. And don't even get me started on this whole but it was my private social media account. That's nonsense. Social media is about as private as shouting your psychotic takes in the middle of a crowded mall. You're posting on platforms designed to broadcast your thoughts to the world, or at least your 500 followers, their friends, and anyone who knows how to take a screenshot. That private setting it is a flimsy lock on a glass door. Your coworkers, your boss, or some random Internet sleuth can still see what you are saying, especially when it's vile enough to get shared, retweeted, or plastered on a news site. So thinking your private account is something, some some sacred untouchable diary is like thinking that whispering in a group chat stays between you and the void. Social media is public by design, and acting shocked when your posts come back to bite you is just willful ignorance. But here's what here's what really gets me. The folks shouting the loudest about free speech these days. Free speech being violated. Half of them didn't give a damn about free speech until it was their job that was on the line. Where were they when other people, conservatives, whistleblowers, the 45th and 47th president were getting silenced or punished for speaking out, Nowhere to be found. And now suddenly they're constitutional scholars because their tweet about taking back the streets or some other dog whistle nonsense got them in hot water. It's not about principle. It's about convenience. They want a get out of jail free card for saying whatever they want, no matter how dangerous. And they're mad that the world isn't playing along anymore. And the truth is, free speech isn't a blank check. It never has been. You can say what you want, but you don't get a free pass from consequences, especially when your words cross into inciting violence or harm. And if you're in one of those 28 right to work states, your boss doesn't even need a good excuse to show you the door. So maybe, just maybe, think twice before you hit that post button on that rant. Because the only thing lacking here isn't freedom of speech. It's your common sense. All right, so time for us to change gears just a little bit. Let's talk now about where some of those social media posts are coming from. And I'm not talking about the people who are posting them this time. I'm talking about where they got those ideas about Charlie and conservatives in the first place. Part of what inspired those posts came from our own government, who for years were smearing conservatives and religious Christians in America as domestic terrorists. Just the news is own. Jerry Dunleavy has a story about that up on justthenews.com right now. So let's bring him on to talk about just how the government under the Biden administration worked to paint conservatives as terrorists. Jerry, welcome. Thanks for having me, Jerry. So while the Biden administration was casting people who went to Latin Mass. Or lawfully owned guns or were somewhere in the vicinity of Capitol Hill on January six while they were investigating those people, calling them vile names, sending out intelligence community memos for basically bolos for these types of people, they were turning a blind eye to people like Tyler Robinson and people who were actually planning on committing violence.
- [06:55]
Jerry Dunleavy
Well, I mean, here's the problem right now. You know, Charlie Kirk was just assassinated by what all evidence currently indicates was a left wing shooter who is motivated because he believed that Charlie Kirk's, I think, very reasonable stances on transgenderism in the view of the shooter, were hateful. That's what we know about the shooter, and that's what we know about what has motivated him. On top of that, the shooter's ammunition included inscriptions that were sort of antifa style inscriptions, including one that said, hey, fascist, catch, right when a shooting like this happens, I want to know what is the domestic terrorism threat picture right now? And were our law enforcement agencies operating based on a. An accurate threat picture? And what I can unfortunately say is that it is not clear, at least we cannot turn to the government currently for an accurate assessment of what the current domestic terrorism threat picture is in the United States as we want to figure out what's going on in the wake of Charlie Kirk's shooting. Because the Biden administration spent four years politicizing intelligence and muddling this domestic terrorism threat picture. And probably the biggest example of this, and I want listeners to follow along here, the obviously, January 6 Capitol riot happens January 6, 2021. And what the Biden administration did quietly, without telling us, because we only found this out once Trump became president again and this information was declassified. But what the Biden administration quietly did was they took these hundreds, really thousands of cases related to January 6th, and they classified them individually as instances of domestic terrorism. And they used those inflated numbers to talk about this massively inflated domestic terrorism threat in the United States, specifically a massively growing domestic terrorism threat from the right. And they use that to implement a new nationwide domestic terrorism strategy and to implement a host of other initiatives. And this is also what they turn the focus of our law enforcement on. The problem here is that we only found out once Trump was president and information was declassified that what they had done was, for instance, by 2022, so a year after the Capitol riot, there was something like 3,000 domestic terrorism cases that the FBI was looking into. That's a big number. And they were. The Biden administration was running around talking about that number. But what they weren't talking about was the fact that 61% of the, in all of the domestic terrorism cases that the FBI was looking into at that time. So 1800 out of 3000 were actually just cases connected to January 6th. A few hours of rioting and out of control protesting on one day. And that inflation drove FBI policy and law enforcement policy for four years. And you also saw it with the FBI, with the FBI and DOJ's focus on protesting parents, the Defense Department's stand down order, trying to quote, unquote, root out extremism in the ranks. All of these things kind of flowed from January 6th and from the Biden administration's focus on the right wing. And unfortunately, a lot of those numbers are just inflated and don't paint an accurate picture. So right now, when we're dealing with a politically motivated assassination, probably the biggest politically motivated assassination in many decades against Charlie Kirk, we don't have a good threat picture right now. And it's because of four years of politicization by the Biden administration.
- [11:19]
Amanda Head
Yeah, I mean, it's terrifying to think about. And I want to ask you about the terror aspect going forward as far as what organizations maybe we should look out for and their associations. But looking back at the Biden administration, I mean, it obviously was the FBI and the doj, but does it also loop in, I mean, the atf, the nsa? How many agencies do we think were politicized to this degree? Because these agencies are supposed to operate independently. But I have no doubt that they were of one mind when it came to the Biden administration's priorities, when it came to essentially demonizing conservatives.
- [11:53]
Jerry Dunleavy
Yeah, I mean, let's look at these kind of these big examples because I think these are worth diving into more deeply. So you had the inflation of our domestic terrorism numbers because of January 6th and the Biden administration's decision there that then drove FBI and DOJ policy to focus on the right wing and Republicans and conservatives. So you saw this then play out. You saw it play out with Merrick Garland's school board's memo which was in it, which was itself based on a letter that the National School Boards association had written in consultation with the Biden White House, by the way. And that NSBA letter called upon the DOJ to investigate protesting parents at school board meetings. People were protesting, you know, these, these schools pushing sort of radical left wing ideologies to their kids. That letter from NSBA called upon DOJ to investigate those parents as domestic terrorists and perhaps even deploy the Patriot act against them. Now, this is a crazy letter that a reasonable Justice Department, when it received it, would very calmly and very politely place it in the shredder. But instead, because based on that letter, Attorney General Merrick Garland penned his own memo calling on the FBI and the DOJ to look into protesting parents. And we saw that play out. We saw the FBI, FBI field offices try to implicate Catholics as being connected to right wing violent extremism and terrorism. And by the way, basing the FBI's field office basing its own memos on extreme crazy left wing articles from places like the Atlantic and Salon, I mean, this is not particularly careful work. This was work that was being done based on extreme left wing inputs to go after. And I mentioned the DoD aspect of this. You know, in the wake of January 6th and with the Biden Pentagon pointing to January 6th, Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a stand down inside the US military in 2021, ordering them to look into and try to root out extremism. Now, this stand down happened in the summer of 2021 at the same time that the Biden administration really should have been focused on making sure that we didn't screw up our withdrawal from Afghanistan. Their eye was off the ball. They were focused on pretty much anything else but getting that withdrawal right. They got it wrong. And I think we're still paying the price for it. And so these decisions by the Biden administration to politicize intelligence and to focus almost exclusively on the right wing, I think took the FBI's eye off the ball. It took the Pentagon's eye off the ball. It had them focusing on Republicans when we should have been focusing on every threat. Because this is not to say that there is no domestic terrorism threat from people that consider themselves on the right. It's just that it's not the sole place that we should be focusing on. There's a lot of problems with Islamic radical, Islamic extremist terrorism, left wing terrorism. These are problems that we need to look at soberly and judiciously. But the Biden administration was looking at them politically and we're, we're paying the price because I think that for four years our eye was off the ball. We don't know how these networks have advanced over the past four years. And I think that unfortunately this, this new FBI and the new FBI director, because of four years, I think being largely wasted, they're going to be kind of flat footed. There's four years of work that should have been being done that wasn't and that now we have to play a lot of catch up.
- [16:14]
Amanda Head
Yeah, I mean, they're behind the eight ball. So when it comes to tackling, I don't even know if it would necessarily be surveillance. But for the FBI keeping an eye on a domestic terrorist group like they have in the past with the kkk, with Weather Underground, Republic of New Africa, Black Panthers, whatever, how should we handle it when we have a subsect of American society who. I mean, look, there's a pattern. I don't think anyone can deny what is happening with trans community, with the trans community when it comes to these shootings and violence. But you've got this group out of Salt Lake City, armed queers, slc I mean, even just the imagery of their group is quite militant. So how should the FBI handle groups like this? Should there be heightened surveillance for groups like this? What does that look like?
- [17:02]
Jerry Dunleavy
So, you know, first I just want to, you know, just put in the fact that this armed, this Marxist Leninist radical trans group called Armed Queers has not been implicated at this time and Charlie Kirk shooting or anything like that. However, we, as we take a step back and just kind of look at some of the problems facing the United States. There are large financial networks, left wing networks, that are funding a lot of radical groups that by their own words wants to bring communist revolution to the United States. And this is not me putting words in their mouth. This is what they say they want to do. Disarmed Queers group is but one example and perhaps is an interesting case study in what a lot of these sort of radical groups that seem to be in the space of Marxist, Leninist, antifa style groups, what these groups are up to. So Armed Queers is a radical trans liberation group, Marxist and Leninist, in its own words. Just got back from what's called a Mayday brigade trip to Cuba, which is a trip to Cuba that is put on in coordination with the Cuban government and frankly with Cuban intelligence, where people from the United States and around the world, radicals from the United States and around the world go to Cuba in solidarity with the communist revolution there. And while they are there, the Cuban government works to indoctrinate them further to come back to the United States or their other, you know, the rest of the world to bring the revolution back. And that is what, in the words of the Armed Queers leaders, they came back inspired to do, is to bring the revolution back here. And what I will say is to look into all of these groups. We as journalists, let's put aside obviously the FBI and law enforcement need to be doing a lot, but we as journalists, part of what we need to be doing here is looking at the finances and the backing and the networks because there's a lot of coordination and a lot of money flowing among and in between these groups. And one piece of the financial network that I always say people need to take a look at is Neville Singham, who is a wealthy Marxist businessman who's currently based out of China, self described Maoist and communist. Yeah, Backing a lot of these groups.

Welcome back, everybody. A couple days ago, I got the chance to sit down with Kari Lake to talk about the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. Take a look. She also spoke at the prayer vigil for Charlie over the weekend at the Kennedy Center. She is a senior adviser. She is the senior Advisor for the U.S. agency for Global Media, Carrie Lake. Carrie, thanks so much for being here.
- [21:36]
Carrie Lake
Thank you for having me, Amanda.
- [21:38]
Amanda Head
I wish it was under better circumstances, but when I think about how, you know, scripture talks about how the Lord can turn anything for good. And I look at Charlie's legacy and I see that 32,000 requests have been made to start chapters at various schools and universities across the country. They might have tried to snuff Charlie out, but I think that this is only going to explode his legacy, don't you think?
- [22:01]
Carrie Lake
Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I last night before I went on the stage at the Kennedy Center, I contacted one of my contacts at Turning Point. They said the number last night had already grown to 35,000. And hundreds of thousands of people have RSVP that they want to attend Charlie's funeral services this coming Sunday at State Farm arena, which is the NFL stadium in the Phoenix area. But, but more importantly, as importantly as all of that, I was following a lot of people over the weekend and I had saw one person asked if people were concerned, considering going to church. And there were thousands of replies of people saying that they hadn't been to church in eight, 10, 11 years, some of them 20 years. And they were going to church for the first time and taking their families, their children. People were saying they hadn't. Didn't even own a Bible. They'd ordered a Bible and it was coming in the mail and they were starting to read it already. The power of Charlie Kirk will live on beyond his death. An assassin's bullet can't take that power away. We know Charlie has everlasting life now. He is in our Savior's arms. However, what we are going to be having as his legacy here on earth is. Is forever changing not just our country, but I think, the world.
- [23:19]
Amanda Head
Yeah. And, Carrie, I want to ask you because you have always been so gracious under fire and been absolutely nothing but class. I personally am having a hard time not being angry about this. But I know that we need to move into a place where debate has not died, even though it seems like it died with Charlie. But when you have issues like Stanislaus county in California, their Democrat party was invited to a Republican vigil that they were hosting for Charlie in the interest of unity, and the Democrat party turned them down. How do we debate with people like that? How do we coexist with people like that who claim they want unity, but they don't show up?
- [23:59]
Carrie Lake
Well, you know, the biggest lie was that Charlie was divisive. I don't think divisive is somebody who's willing to go in and sit with people, be outnumbered sometimes by people who disagreed with him, sit down and discuss and debate and talk. That's not divisive. This is a typical example. And I don't want to always just say, the far left does this and the Democrats do it. They take a word and they twist its meaning. Divisive is not sitting amongst people who you disagree with and having cordial debate. That's not divisive. And so we reject that lie, and we have to start calling things out like that. When they call him a divisive person. Charlie was one of the most kind people I knew. I enjoyed listening to his debates with people because what his power was, his secret power, was the ability to make people think. People who had an ideology or an idea about something or held a belief about something that didn't make sense, Charlie would automatically give them a light bulb moment. We saw so many people who had a light bulb moment when those debates started with Charlie. You know, I think a lot of People will look back on this. I've seen some of the horrible videos online of people saying the most demented, horrible things. I do believe, believe at some point they will look back in their life and be embarrassed and horrified that they said those things. They're the most heartless things I've heard. But remember this. This is a battle between good and evil and evil. We can't negotiate with evil. We can't negotiate with evil. So if somebody is truly evil, there's no compromising with someone who's truly evil. Now, those Democrats who chose not to attend a vigil, that's just sad. That's truly sad at a time like this that they couldn't do that. I don't say that. That everybody who's on the left is evil. That is not what I'm saying. But there are truly some evil elements that we've seen in some of these videos that have come out over the past five days that I've just found horrifying. And I don't know how to coexist with people like that.
- [26:00]
Amanda Head
Yeah, I don't know either. It was nauseating to see those responses and just. Just utterly wicked. Just wicked. You offered some really sage wisdom to moms directly this weekend and cautioned them against sending their kids off to indoctrination camps. But what if there's a Turning Point chapter at that university?
- [26:20]
Carrie Lake
Well, things are changing at our universities, but they haven't changed quick enough. I mean, my daughter decided not to go to college. She took Charlie's advice. She actually worked for Charlie. She's still part time. Time at Turning Point, and they're devastated there. These wonderful. The Turning Point family young people who are just so incredible. But my son did decide to go to college, and I am in contact with him all the time. I want to make sure. Well, I know he's not being indoctrinated, but he fills me in on just the radical leftism that's being pushed in these classes. And we got to start looking at who we're hiring at these colleges. And thankfully, thankfully, he's got a. He's got a strong backbone and he doesn't put up with a lot, but he does tell me it's really horrible on campus. Would he do it again? Would he go to college again? I don't know. Probably, but maybe not. There's so many other options out there. And until we get these colleges where they're not indoctrination camps trying to decay the mind of our young people, I think it's a really good Idea for parents to sit down and talk about the other options for their children when they turn 18, what they can do, get an apprenticeship, go into the trades. You don't really need a college education for the majority of jobs that are out there.
- [27:37]
Amanda Head
Carrie, how did we end up here? I mean, I look at the comments of people like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer when he was talking about the Supreme Court justices. I look at comments from people like that and think, okay, well, maybe that's where young people got their cue from. But I feel like maybe it's so insidious. It started before that.
- [27:57]
Carrie Lake
It's widespread. I mean, this is a communist takeover. And they've managed to capture so many of our institutions. They captured our, our schools. We see that in K through 12. They're not, they're hardly learning anything at these schools. They're being indoctrinated. DEI racial politics is just ridiculous. It's like, let's learn the reading, writing and arithmetic for goodness sakes. Yet they pushed out things like the Ten Commandments. Why can't we teach the Ten Commandments? It's really where our original law comes from. And then they took over our colleges and universities and turned those into indoctrination camps. But then the media. The media has been the most evil and prevalent way of brainwashing the public, and that's where they're brainwashing the masses. Thankfully, people are turning off the mainstream media. It's not mainstream anymore. It's legacy media that is truly dying. And the media needs to take some responsibility. And we need to start calling people out. If somebody writes a story that's a lie, the reporter should be shamed, the outlet should be shamed, and they frankly, should be fired. We want real journalism out there, not this terrible, the lies that are being told. We've got to start calling these people out and really revoking their broadcasting licenses, which the public owns. And we shouldn't be giving this out willy nilly to a bunch of lying, fake news propagandists who have done more to divide and attempt to destroy this country. Despicable. What's going on? And I hope that the FCC starts looking very closely at polling stuff, some of these licenses, because the media is.

Amanda Head
Welcome back everybody. So I know you can't believe it, but the midterms are basically upon us or they will be in no time flat. And Texas has led the way for redistricting battles all across the country and now it's brought itself to Ohio. So joining me now is candidate for congress in Ohio, Alida Nadeem. Aliyah, thanks so much for joining, joining us tonight.
- [31:16]
Aaliyah Nadeem
Thanks Amanda, for having me. And yes, you are correct, it's already coming. The 2026 election cycle is here.
- [31:23]
Amanda Head
I know. And it feels like we just got through the general election and president now President Trump makes every day feel like he has jam packed a week into 24 hours. So, you know, I think we're all a little bit forgiven when we feel that way. But when it comes to the midterms and looking forward, this district that you are running for, it's currently represented by Democrat, but this is right leaning. It's our plus three.
- [31:45]
Aaliyah Nadeem
You're correct. Yeah. So actually the president won it by 6% and we had a congressional candidate who unfortunately was not able to flip it. And so, you know, I've put my name in the hat because we really should have won it last cycle. Right. That individual had the resources, had the presidential endorsement and I think that's the difference between having a show horse and a workhorse. Right. So I'm Here to work. I announced my campaign in April because I fully realized what you have to do to beat somebody like Ms. Marcy Kaptor, who's held the seat, by the way, for 42 years.
- [32:18]
Amanda Head
Oh, come on.
- [32:19]
Aaliyah Nadeem
So 42 years? She's 79. It's. It's time to go. Time's up.
- [32:25]
Amanda Head
Time to go. It's time to hang it up. My gosh, how many of these people are we going to have in Congress? Okay, so I want my audience to get to know you a little bit, tell everybody about you, about your background, what you do for a living. And you already told us why you wanted to jump in, which I think is completely admirable. But give us. Give us the nuts and the bolts of who you are.
- [32:44]
Aaliyah Nadeem
Yeah. Thanks, Amanda. So, you know, I actually. I grew up here in Toledo, Ohio, and I had this really unfortunate incident that happened when I was a child. I was actually kidnapped to Iraq, and I lived under Saddam hussein. So from 8 years old to 11, lived under a completely different world, lived in a dictatorship, and I never, ever thought I would make it back home. You know, being kidnapped, sure. But the FBI. Yep, the FBI, the US Government, and my mother fought like hell for three and a half years to get me back, and. And they did. They finally got me back. So at age 11, I come back to the United States. I have to sort of be reintegrated. And I'm. Every day has been. I've been grateful to live under this flag. And then when I'm a junior In High School, 9, 11 happens. And the same country that rescued me was asking me to serve. And it was the. I am not necessarily what you would think of as a military person. I dance. But I felt compelled that I had to serve the same country. So I ended up joining the United States Air Force right after my senior year, became an intelligence officer. I've really focused on the Middle east, have worked in the United States Senate as a military legislative liaison. I've worked at the National Security Council. And so that's been my career for 21 years as serving. And then I really feel I have to do something about what's happening in our country. And I feel very liberated to share that. I've been a conservative. Right. As a military person. Can't always share what your beliefs are. And so I'm really happy to be part of what the president's doing.

Amanda Head
Oh, my gosh. I'm not supposed to say this word, but you're a badass. I mean, what an incredible, incredible story. I am so glad that you decided to make this turn to go into public service. And I know the people of Ohio are going to be really excited about getting to know you and hearing about your platform. But I want to ask you because, you know, we are just a week away from Charlie Kirk's assassination. And I was just talking with one of our producers here, and there's still just such a dark cloud over our newsroom, over our bureau, over our studio. And it feels like American values are under attack. And it's not just because of Charlie's assassination. It's because. Because of the reaction that we are seeing. I mean, my X feed is full. I mean, every single post is about someone else. Another professor, another nurse, another doctor, another government worker, another someone who has something nasty and disgusting to say about Charlie Kirk. And it feels like it's open season on conservatives. How do we defend those Judeo Christian values that our country was founded on in the wake of all of that.

Amanda, it's heartbreaking to watch people rally against somebody's death. This is an American first and foremost. We have lost our way when we're cheering for somebody. And, and I'm really tired of hearing, well, you know, he reaped what he sowed. No, no, absolutely not. Nobody, you can speak whatever you want. Nobody deserves to die at the hand of a weapon like that. Not. Not in America. And so I've never been, I'm always been proud to be a conservative, but I've never been proud of you, Crowder. And I'm actually really excited for these midterms because I think you're seeing an insight what happened to Mr. Kirk, unfortunately, and people celebrating, hopefully this wakes up other Democrats to go. Is this party that we want, the party that's celebrating somebody's death. So I, I think people are going to show in the polls what they really want and they're going to support conservative values. And that's what I'm fighting for.
- [36:08]
Amanda Head
Yeah, we've just got about 60 seconds left left. So thank goodness we have a president in office who has all but eviscerated any illegal crossings across our southern border. So that issue is, is pretty much taken care of. Now we still have the illegals who are in this country, but Tom Homan's doing a bang up job of deporting especially the violent ones and getting them out of our country. But our fiscal house is an absolute dumpster fire. So I can imagine that's something that is on the hearts and minds of Ohioans. Tell us about your campaign and the Things that you're talking to your constituents about or your future constituents.
- [36:40]
Aaliyah Nadeem
No, thank you. I mean, the biggest thing is manufacturing. Right. We have hollowed out northwest Ohio. So the current representative, under her watch, 400,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost since she's. Since she's been on the watch. You get an F for your grade card there. Right. We have the. One of the largest fentanyl problems in Ohio. We're seven. We unfortunately lead number seven in the United States for overdoses, and then 80% is related to fentanyl, and that's affected our cities. And then under her watch, we went from 1.1 trillion in deficit to almost 37 trillion. So your report card is enough. So I am focused on manufacturing, bringing those jobs back, really making sure we clean up this drug problem, which you're seeing the president do with crime and drugs, and then really legitimately reducing our deficit because our children are not going to be able to own a house in the future. They're not going to be able to have a decent income if we don't fix this. So those are my priorities.
- [37:32]
Amanda Head
I love that. And I know that's going to be resounding among the people there in Ohio because it's such a manufacturing state. We love Ohio. Here at Just the News. Aliyah and Nadine, very quickly, before we let you go, tell everybody where they can find out more about your campaign.

Amanda Head
Welcome back, everybody. For the last week, we have been mourning our dear friend Charlie Kirk and examining his incredible legacy. Charlie was fearless in his pursuit of the truth, and one example of that was back during the COVID pandemic. Charlie was one of the first podcasters to have on doctors who didn't necessarily trust everything that we were being told about the COVID vaccine. So joining me now to discuss this and how important it is is world renowned doctor and chief scientific officer at The Wellness Company, Dr. Peter McCullough. Dr. McCullough, thanks so much for joining us.
- [40:00]
Dr. Peter McCullough
Thank you.
- [40:02]
Amanda Head
You know, we were just talking in the break before we came to air, Charlie was such a supporter of health freedom, and at the beginning of the pandemic, when it was not yet popular to call question narrative, he was one of the few people who was asking questions. And that's so important whether we're talking about Charlie, whether we're talking about COVID or something or someone in the future.
- [40:21]
Dr. Peter McCullough
So true. I knew Charlie and will miss him dearly. He brought a message to the young people of the country to, you know, examine their own views on the pandemic and particularly respect medical freedom. I think it's very, very important message, very important discussion. COVID 19 was hitting college campuses. The kids were involved in unnecessary lockdowns in some circumstances, forced vaccine, and Charlie saw it clearly.
- [40:49]
Amanda Head
Yeah. What do you think that the role is now of people like Charlie? Is it still to question the narrative? Is it still to, you know, talk about things like the vaccine or what we were all talking about, about pretty much soon after the COVID pandemic, hydroxychloroquine and other types of ways to treat it? Is that the role.
- [41:11]
Dr. Peter McCullough
The role is to Encourage discussion, fair interchange. You know, we didn't see that on college campuses and quite frankly we didn't see it in graduate schools, medical schools or even on faculties of medicine. We have to get back to that. I think part of it was the lockdown. Lockdowns. People were isolated from one another and we didn't have the normal scientific discourse. You know, our agencies are still not holding, you know, Washington conferences where we all come together and review lessons learned from the pandemic and discuss, you know, critical issues like vaccine safety.
- [41:45]
Amanda Head
So whose role was it to bring that back? Because I mean, I feel like that's vitally important to have that, you know, that autopsy of what went wrong. Is, is that the responsibility of hhs? Who is that?
- [41:58]
Dr. Peter McCullough
HHS for sure. I mean cardiology. We've had Bethesda conferences in years past that can be the head of the National Institutes of Health or they can, you know, delegate that to the, you know, the infectious disease branch. The FDA can certainly hold, you know, all hands on deck types meetings to review critical information. But you know, we need to bring the agency and medical academia together so we can go over what happened through the pandemic, what worked, what didn't, and particularly examine COVID 19 vaccine safety and side effects.
- [42:34]
Amanda Head
Yeah, I mean there are definitely lessons to be learned. But until we have those discussions, you know, those lessons are for naught. I want to switch gears and ask you about this parasite that I can, that I'm hearing about Chagas I think is what it is C H A G A S transmitted via insects. Tell us about it. And is it, is it something we.
- [42:52]
Dr. Peter McCullough
Need to worry about in the United States? We don't. There's just sporadic cases. But down in Brazil, for instance, it's the leading cause of heart failure. So Chagas disease, principally it's dealt with by control of the insects that transmit it. But suffice it to say we're all at risk for parasitic infections. It's normally GI infection ingesting eggs if we eat sushi or raw or undercooked meals. You see the warnings on menus, for instance, or have pets Wellness company We've got a nice combination Ivermectin, Mebenazole, fixed dose product that's perfect for that application since the parasitic diseases are difficult to diagnose.
- [43:33]
Amanda Head
So that IVM and what is it called? Mebendazole, is that something that you should take to prepare for it, to kind of ward it off or is it something you would take if you got.
- [43:45]
Dr. Peter McCullough
It, you would take it if you got it. Some people get it when they travel. For instance, they're going to go to Mexico or Central America. You know, some of the most common parasitic infections include giardia. You can get that from contaminated water. Or pinworms or hookworms. You can get those from dirty bathrooms. So a lot of people want to be prepared. You don't want to get behind on this and you certainly don't want to go to foreign clinics or emergency rooms.
- [44:09]
Amanda Head
Absolutely. All right. So I think that the dirty secret is out about the vaccine and its effectiveness or lack thereof and its safety or its lack thereof. And I know a lot of people experience vaccine regret when it comes to what the wellness company has to offer. I know you guys have this ultimate spike detox and some other products as well. Tell us about it.
- [44:32]
Dr. Peter McCullough
Most who've taken the vaccine should be considering ultimate spike detox. That's the medicinal grade evidence based on, you know, peer reviewed published approach to helping the body clear the spike protein that's built up in the body after vaccination. Most patients need to be on it for a year. We start by measuring the antibodies to the spike protein at baseline and follow up, we want to see a nice drop in the antibodies as an indirect proxy for those who didn't take the vaccine. But just generally concerned. Spike support is a lower dose of the most important ingredient, nattokinase. But wellness company has you covered with the best products with the best evidence base behind them. Right now Northern medical schools have produced any protocols nor the companies have scientifically published any protocols. Wellness company is in the lead.
- [45:21]
Amanda Head
Yeah. Once again the wellness company leading the charge when it comes to these types of solutions, Dr. Peter McCullough, world renowned Dr. And chief scientific officer at the wellness company. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. It's an honor. And to our audience, go to TWC Health Just news today and use code just news to save 10% on any order from the wellness company that includes their ultimate spike detox treatment that we were just talking about. That's TWC Health Just news and use promo code Just news to save 10%. All right everybody, next, there's been a lot of wild conspiracy theories spreading online about Charlie Kirk's assassination. We're going to examine one of them next. Welcome back to our final segment of the night. While Americans are still waiting for further details on the suspect involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk to be made available, it's no surprise that people have come up with far reaching narratives to try and come to some sort of explanation. Nation for the tragic assassination on September 10th. And one of those theories has to do with the nation of Israel and its representatives somehow being involved in the assassination, including those who aligned themselves with the Republican Party and Turning Point usa. So what? And who is behind that? Joining us now to discuss the CEO of Henry Public Relations, Brian Leib. Brian, great to see my friend.
- [46:45]
Brian Leib
Good to see you too, Amanda.
- [46:46]
Amanda Head
So I saw a video earlier on social media and. And it was parody, obviously, but it was an advertisement for an app called Blame Israel. And it was an app where you could go and you could input whatever is happening in the world and it would output a good reason to blame Israel. And it was a parody, but it actually is a reflection of life because people will blame Israel for practically anything and everything. And it doesn't matter how absurd or far reaching the connection is.
- [47:12]
Brian Leib
That's true. But if I'm being candid with you and candid with the audience, I never in a million years would have thought that less than a week ago when Charlie was brutally murdered, that within a day the conspiracy theories would start about how Israel killed him. Bibi killed him, the Mossad killed him, Jews killed him. It started with some very fringe people, Amanda, saying these things.
- [47:39]
Amanda Head
So was it Candace Owens who kind of lit this fire and then it spread from there?
- [47:43]
Brian Leib
Candace has lit the fire and continues to fan the fire.
- [47:46]
Amanda Head
Why would she?
- [47:47]
Brian Leib
Every single day, you know, it's. When you figure that out, you let me know, because I don't think any of us can really understand why she's doing what she's doing, other than it's all about Candace. Candace has always been all about Candace. That's the unfortunate reality about her. The fact that she's fanning the flames right now when they haven't even buried Charlie.
- [48:08]
Amanda Head
Yeah.
- [48:09]
Brian Leib
Yesterday she said, the only person that's going to stop me from telling the truth is Erica Kirk. Why does she bring Erica into the situation? Because she's a master manipulator and she knows exactly what she's doing. She's doing this all for clicks, and there's so many people that whether it's in the Republican Party or just in general, we've got to start speaking the truth about this. The Candace Owens boat train has left the station. I don't know what she's doing. She should be ashamed of what she's doing right now. Because my biggest fear, when she fans these flames about how, oh, it was Jews, it was Israel and all these things, you're putting Jews in the crosshair that are already in the crosshairs right now.
- [48:52]
Amanda Head
Well, that's what I was going to ask you because, I mean, it has its effect on Turning Point because obviously people are now asking questions about it and it maybe detrimentally affects their opinion of Turning Point, but it certainly, for a group of Americans, Jewish Americans, who are already dealing with so much, so much violence in their direction, frankly, historical numbers of, historic numbers of violence against Jews in this country, it's just piling on.
- [49:17]
Brian Leib
You know, it's piling on and it's happening so quickly. Was having a conversation just a little bit earlier about the Holocaust and how on a Monday, Jews throughout Europe, they thought their neighbors were friends of theirs and on a Tuesday, they were the ones that were sending them to the death camps. That is the feeling that I and almost every single Jew in America has right now over the last week. And by the way, I am a day one MAGA supporter, Day one supporter of President Trump. But the rot that I'm seeing on the far right right now, the fact that Nick Fuentes condemned Candace Owens tells you everything you need to know. It is out of control. It needs to stop. We need to stop tarnishing Charlie's, Charlie's name, his memory. He was a staunch supporter of the state of Israel. The lies that are coming out about, oh, Bibi was trying to pay him $150 million, it's insane.
- [50:10]
Amanda Head
What exactly are the allegations?
- [50:13]
Brian Leib
It changes every minute. I heard one a little while ago.
- [50:15]
Amanda Head
Turned away from his support of Israel.
- [50:17]
Brian Leib
Or listen, let's be honest, okay, Were there Jewish donors? There's Jewish donors to every organization. Okay.
- [50:25]
Carrie Lake
Yes.
- [50:25]
Brian Leib
And yes, Jewish donors were troubled by the fact that Tucker Carlson was being platformed in a very big way. Let's not forget, by the way, it was on July 4, Independence Day, that Tucker Carlson thought it was a good idea to do an interview with the President of Iran. That was Tucker Carlson, just for the record. So, yes, the concerns were real and I'm sure there were Jewish donors that were having conversations with Charlie expressing their concern about Tucker Carlson.
- [50:55]
Amanda Head
But to take it to the level that they would take him out is slanderous and frankly absurd.
- [51:01]
Brian Leib
Amanda, thank you for saying that. It's beyond absurd. It's pure insanity. And every single day, whether it's the Candace Owens of the world, the Tucker Carlson's of the world, to continue to fan these flames. Listen, we as a country are already pretty divided. We as a Republican Party now are getting very divided. They need to end the nonsense. Let's honor Charlie's memory. Let's honor his legacy. Yes. Everyone should have freedom of speech. You know, freedom of speech doesn't mean that you need to start putting Jews in the crosshair just to get some clicks on your website. And that's exactly what Candace Owens is doing right now.
- [51:38]
Amanda Head
Well, as my audience knows, I did a rant in the first block of this show about free speech. And, you know, folks on the left who are. Who are decrying their freedom of speech because they're getting fired from their jobs. And it's like, okay, the difference between what you are saying, which is inciting violence on people, and free speech, it's, you know, it's two very, very different things. And I am sorry for the reason that we had to have you here, but I'm very glad to have you here in person.
- [52:02]
Brian Leib
It's been a while, so I'm glad as well. Congratulations on the new Dig series. They're absolutely beautiful. I'm sorry John's. Sorry John's not with us, but I'm.
- [52:11]
Amanda Head
Sure he would send his regards to John. Yeah, I will. Absolutely. All right, everybody, that's going to do it for us tonight. We'll be back here tomorrow night at 6pm Eastern. Have a safe night.
