You are listening to our flagship station, WMAL in Washington, D.C., and coast to coast, the O'Connor and Company morning program. We've got three really important hours ahead of us, and I can't wait to deliver it to you here. I'm Larry O'Connor in the Relief Factor Studios. Currently, the Relief Factor Studios here in beautiful San Diego, California, The answer, San Diego. And, um... I now know how my expectant daughter feels, as she is now officially past her due date. And, of course, she's getting phone calls from her stepmother, from her mother, from myself on a regular basis. Or, you know, I'll be talking to her in another part of the house. And I'll say, are you in labor yet? Are you in labor yet? And she said to me, you know what? Here's the thing, Dad. When I go into labor, I'm going to let you know. Okay. So why don't we just stop asking? How about we stop asking that question? And when it happens, I'm going to let you know. That's what she said to me, gently, lovingly. And I say I feel her pain, sort of, although it would be nice if she were in some labor pains right now. But no, we're still waiting. It's fine. I feel her theoretical pain in that all of my friends and family have been reaching out to me and asking the same question, including all of you in the audience, because I know that I am the first person on the planet to be, you know. about to become a grandfather. So it's all about me. Let me just say, everyone, thank you so much for reaching out and asking. And I promise, I'm going to let you know. I'm going to let you know. As soon as it happens, you will be among the first to know. But so far, no, no baby, no, no little granddaughter quite yet. But she did high five me yesterday. which was kind of cool, you know, through the belly. That was fun. All right, we got a big morning. We have a really big morning. We're going to dive right into the revelations about what Anthony Fauci knew about that vaccine and how it affected pregnancies. Kind of important. Kind of shocking. It wasn't Wal-to-Wall coverage yesterday. Yes, we're going to dive into that. In one hour, we've got Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the MRNA technology used for the COVID shot. We've also got in the 8 o'clock hour, Dr. J. Batacharya. He is now the director of the National Institute's Fair Health. That's, you know, the Anthony Fauci's old job. So we'll speak right to him.

as this hour develops. But before we go further down the Anthony Fauci text message revelation path, I want to go back one more day in our history, just to this Sunday morning, where Jay Batacharya, the person who will be joining us later in the show to talk about these revelations. He joined Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation, and it was an extraordinary interview. And it's even more extraordinary, knowing now the data that was being released just 24 hours after this exchange, because this interview by Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation at CBS News shows you exactly... how the media has handled this story from the beginning. So many people in the media are like, oh, yeah, you know, fog of war. Well, we all made mistakes. Nobody really knew what was going on. We did our best, but there was a whole lot of quite, right? That's been their story. And yet here we are today. And watch how the entire conversation about vaccines, about public health, about misinformation, about the results and ramifications of misinformation, watch how it was all framed in this interview with this opening question by Margaret Brennan. Again, this is to Jay Badacharya, the gentleman who will be joining us later in the show. He's currently the director of the National Institutes of Health. Let's start. This is one year since that horrific shooting at CDC headquarters. Officer David Rose was honored this past week. He was killed last year protecting CDC employees from a gunman. And we should know he was a combat veteran, a United States Marine, who had just graduated five months prior from the police academy. Three kids left behind. The shooter was motivated. by misinformation about the COVID vaccine. That is why he shot over 100 bullets into the windows of the CDC is enough being done to counter. This kind of misinformation. I mean, I should start with, I got to talk with. That is so atrocious and so nauseating and so disgusting that the entire conversation about misinformation with regard to vaccinations or any public health issue for that matter, you can extrapolate at the six feet social distancing rule or the mandatory mask rule or let's keep all our kids home from school rule or let's upend all of our election integrity laws for the sake of the social distancing rule, whatever it is. She frames the entire conversation into one nutbag who tried to shoot up the CDC building in Bethesda, Maryland, and tragically murdered a security officer there and frames it right back to Dr. Badacharya saying, this officer is dead because of you and because of, and because of Republican mega-maha voters.

who poisoned his mind with vaccine misinformation. That's the framing of the conversation that we're going to have with the current director of the National Institute of Health about bad information coming from our public health officials. This is coming just a week after we learned so much about Anthony Fauci's diaries and his lies under oath. That is journalistic malpractice. And it's just not journalism. That's advocacy. That's setting the terms for a debate and an argument on television, not informing viewers. But the doctor did pretty well. But watch how it goes. Watch how shrill and angry she gets. Listen. with Officer Rose's wife a few months back. One of the first things I did is, you know, to honor him and his sacrifice in protecting the people that work at the CDC, the amazing people who work at the CDC was, you know, renamed the street that leads into the CDC after him. And it was a really nice event. I'll tell you, the thing is, I want to focus on attention on Officer Rose because I think that the shooter did was horrific. And I think that, you know, you can talk about why shooters do things, but really fundamentally... Well, his father said he was brainwashed about the COVID vaccine and thought it was making him suicidal. That's what... I mean, the thing is, like, to talk about the shooter puts the emphasis on somebody who's... I mean, I think we shouldn't be putting our emphasis on the... No, I am on misinformation about vaccines. I mean, I think the key thing is there's a loss of public trust. in public health that happened in part because of a lot of frankly even even on this network and on other networks there was a particular single point of view put across during the COVID pandemic about how you know that led to things that really did cause harm to people the school closures is probably the number one thing that that this is not a productive line of claims we covered COVID in depth on this program like no other Sunday show did. I'm not blaming you specifically. What I'm saying is you want to talk about misinformation. The kinds of decisions and sort of the public face of public health during the pandemic led to many people losing trust in public health. The Trump administration officials. No, I mean like Biden. So Biden, for instance, censored me. The pandemic began under the Trump administration. And we put this official on our here. Just so we're clear, the Biden administration censored me, right? They sent out direct attacks on people who disagreed on the COVID, on sort of whether the COVID vaccine stopped it. I love that part. That may be the best part. Let's just be clear. The Biden administration censored me. And I'm now the director of the National Institute of Health. More on this exchange and more of what we learned next. For nearly 3,000 years, Homer's The Odyssey has shaped Western imagination. It tells the story of Odysseus as he faces monsters, shipwrecks, false comforts, and impossible choices on his long journey home. As one of the foundational works of Western literature, Homer's epic is more than mythology. It explores permanent questions about courage, duty, loyalty, family, leadership, temptation, and the search for home.

In one of the epics defining moments, Odysseus rejects the offer of immortality from the goddess Calypso, choosing instead the long and difficult journey home. His decision reveals one of the central themes of the Odyssey that a life of duty, family, and home, is greater than a life devoted to comfort or glory. Achilles chose glory. Odysseus chose home. That's why Hillsdale College has released its newest free online course, the Odyssey. Taught by Professor Benedict Wayland, the course reveals why Homer's masterpiece remains one of the greatest works of Western literature.

Do you feel that you've been lied to from your public health officials? Do you feel like it upended your life and your children's lives? I'll have an even more pointed question for you. Do you believe or do you have a story that directly connects a crisis pregnancy or even, God forbid, a miscarriage with the COVID shot that you were forced to take? I'd like to hear your story at 855-784-4255 because Dr. Anthony Fauci at the time expressed grave concerns. And this was, by the way, January 25th. just less than a week after Joe Biden was sworn into office as they were rolling out the very aggressive vaccine protocols on this country. And there were grave concerns shared between himself and the new CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, and Surgeon General Vivek Ramaswamy Murthy. and none of their concerns that they were expressing with each other based on the data that they were looking at with regard to the shot during pregnancy, whether it was the first trimester or the third trimester, whether there was an effect or not, none of it made it out to the public. In fact, days after this exchange, this text message exchange, Anthony Fauci then went on the air and said, and I'm quoting him now, there are no red flags. No red flags at this time linking any concerns with pregnant women then said it's pretty clear that pregnant women should get vaccinated. And now we see that the percentages of miscarriage during that first trimester with pregnant women who got the COVID shot were way elevated. Again, we're going to speak with Dr. Robert Malone coming up in the next hour about this and J. But I want you to see more from Margaret Brennan here because the media is the story as usual and the media is part of the problem. And knowing what we know now, what we learned yesterday, I want you to now reflect on just a day before on Sunday and look at how Margaret Brennan. deals with J. Badacharya with regard to vaccine policies and our children and potentially a measle outbreak. Buticharia is great and he pushes back, but it still exposes exactly what the media has done here and they do it to win political points. And ironically, they don't actually win political points. That's where the Maha movement came from.

And it hasn't gone away. All right, watch. This is our second clip now with Brennan and Bottitra. Take a listen to this exchange. Should parents trust that they can go vaccinate their kids when their doctor tells them to do so for them to go back to school? I think that parents, for most kids, especially for the measles vaccines, the DTP, all the standard child with vaccines, it's very important that parents vaccinate their kids. As far as can they feel confident sending back to schools, just to push back some, it was a tremendous mistake to... caused parents to fear about sending their kids to school during the COVID pandemic. The kids were better off in school. We shouldn't be scaring. I'm talking about what people do now. It's August, about to be. Yeah, but, Margaret, you're talking about 2020. I'm talking about 2020. You need to understand what she's saying, because here is the media fearmongering that if you send your kid to school, your kid might be sitting next to a child of one of those crazy anti-vaxxers. And so your kid might get measles, even though you got your kid the vaccine. Explain that, please. Your kid is vaccinated, but sitting next to an unvaccinated kid with measles. Now your kid is going to get sick. So is it safe for parents to send their kids back to school? So she's fearmongering over the idea that there's this crazy measles outbreak and it's all a result. of Maha parents not getting their kids vaccinated. So the fearmongering is happening, but it's happening from her side. The misinformation is happening, but it's happening from her side on a CBS news platform. And then when Batatariah says, no, you see, here's the problem. When you get this misinformation and mistrust of public health officials because of what you did and because of what my predecessor did during the COVID outbreak. And all Margaret Brennan, oh, no, no, we're talking about now. We're talking about today. And it was at that moment when Dr. Badacharya says, yes, I'm talking about right now too. This is beautiful. Just take a listen. You're talking about the why people have the... Clarity from the federal government and the top health officials. If you want clarity, let me give you some clarity. Please. The reason why you have this problem with public trust is because what happened in 2020 has not yet been addressed to... Can these parents trust you? And the recommendation that they should go get their kids vaccinated. The parents should, trust me. I mean, I'm giving my recommendation that vaccinated. My kids, I don't think that it is a, I think if you want to protect your kids from these, these sort of parental diseases, yes, you should vaccinate your kids. But it is even more important that these kids go to school. That in no way, shape, or form should this show or any other show like it perpetuate the idea that they're sending their kids to school is worse.

Because there are going to be some health risk there when it's just not true. Exactly. And that's the whole point. All right.

Dr. Robert Malone joining us in 30 minutes. Talk about all of these revelations. Also, Dr. J. Bata Charia, a man you just heard with Margaret Brennan, will be joining us. Give you all the facts and the details, including the new news as well yesterday revealed that we're going to be rolling out a different schedule for childhood vaccines. Again, same number of vaccinations, just a different schedule. So children aren't loaded up necessarily the way that they have been. Still... Way more shots than our European neighbors get over there in Western Europe. Still haven't quite understood why that's the case. The results of yesterday's revelations with regard to miscarriages have absolutely rocked people's world and understandably. You know, I want you to hear two more things here. Rochelle Walensky, she was the CDC director. She engaged in these text messages. She acknowledged and saw that there were differences between the reaction of a third trimester pregnancy versus a first trimester pregnancy. But all of the data that Anthony Fauci was parroting. and pretending like he was claiming that he had a study that showed that it was perfectly safe. It was all related to third trimester pregnancies, not first trimester pregnancies. Now, that's critically important when you listen to this moment. She was on a podcast. It was headed up by Heidi Murkoff. People who have had babies in the last 30 years will recognize that name. She wrote What to Expect When You're Expecting Series of Books. They're Good Books. So she had a podcast during the... during the pandemic because everybody did. And she had Rochelle Wollenski on. Rochelle Wollinski, the CDC director on a podcast specifically geared to pregnant women called What to Expect When You're Expecting. Again, with all of that credibility, all that gravitas, all of the foundational support of you can trust us and trust what we're telling you. as the foundation for this moment, here just a couple of months after this exchange where there was bona fide concern at the highest levels about the difference of how this shot affects somebody, whether it's first trimester, third trimester, while you're nursing after you gave birth. Take a listen to Rochelle Willinsky. This is clip eight here, folks. Take a listen to what she had to say publicly. Is it safe to get vaccinated while you're breastfeeding? It absolutely is safe to get vaccinated. So I would say if you are thinking about getting vaccinated, there is no bad time to get vaccinated. Get vaccinated while you're thinking about having a baby, before you're thinking about having a baby, while you're pregnant with your baby, or after you've delivered your baby. There is no bad time. Bill Ackman. investor and businessman entrepreneur on social media said, Neri and I, that's his wife, Neri and I, had seven miscarriages trying to have a second child during COVID, and then the time ran out. Megan McCain, friend of mine, friend of the program, said, put Anthony Fauci in jail. I'm a woman who was pregnant and had a miscarriage during COVID.

Anna Louise said heartbreaking COVID had this miscarriage rate modeling the effects of an abortion. Pray for those sweet babies lost. Amen to that. OBGYNs reported a record number of miscarriages and still burst during COVID privately, but we're afraid to talk publicly. Afraid. to talk publicly. Evie magazine wrote five years ago that eight in ten women had a miscarriage after getting the COVID vaccine in the first two trimesters. It wasn't explored. It wasn't talked about publicly because the greater good was to make sure that everybody got the shot. Here's Dr. Badacharya yesterday after this revelation. He was on with Will Kane on Fox News Channel. He was explaining exactly what they knew and what they hid from you. The new text release from Dr. Anthony Fauci's phone seems to be a different message privately than what he was telling publicly about the vaccine and pregnant women. I mean, I'm really glad that his words now can be heard by the American people. And I share your concern. I think that when you have a new product like the COVID vaccine was back then, you should be careful with pregnant women. And it's shocking to me that he was sharing private thoughts and that when he was out on public and he was not in public a lot, he didn't share those private thoughts with the American public. I mean, to me, the big problem now is really how do you restore trust in public health? How do you restore trust in science? You know, that's what I've been working toward the NIH, to really shift toward a transparent regime where there's scientific debate, scientific discussion, no debates off limits. And I fully expect there to be people that disagree with me. And when I learned that I'm wrong, I'm going to tell the American public that I'm wrong. I'm going to turn the page from that. Yeah, turn the page indeed. And again, all we're asking for is transparency and truth and facts, especially during a pandemic when it's most needed. But they all decided it was time to lie to you because they thought they knew better. And now, by the way, after you learn otherwise, they claim, well, none of us really knew. Well, you acted like you knew. In fact, you rationalized your lies with this cloaking device, with this disguise, with this camouflage. By saying we're the experts, we know best, and even when you were exchanging concerns with each other behind the scenes with your little teenage girl text messages, you would still get together and say, okay, yeah, we understand there may be a concern there, we may be a concern there. But our public face and our public message has got to be this. We've got to tell everybody that there's nothing to fear and everything's fine because they need to get that shot because that's the greater good. Because their determination amongst themselves without your input, without your participation was the greater harm is COVID spreading everywhere. So we're going to go ahead and stay on message.

We're going to tell everybody this because that's the greater good because, say it with me, we know best. That's fine. You want to take that big leadership leap, be the man on the top of the hill making the decision, then you've got to go down with the ship too. See, that's how it works. You can't now years later say, we had no idea. We didn't know we were just doing our best. No, no, no, no. You didn't tell us you were doing your best. You didn't even tell each other you were doing your best. You told each other you knew best. And it was worth lying to us, lying to us about something this intimate, this fragile, this heartbreaking, an increase of miscarriages. because of this vaccine that you forced people to have. And you force them to have it by lying to them and saying, oh, no, no, no, there's no, there's no bad time to get the shot. First trimester, third trimester, it doesn't matter. Get that dang shot. In fact, it's good for you. You lied to us because you convinced yourselves that you were the smartest people in the room. You knew best. And now when you're called on it, you claim ignorance. No, no, no. You can't have it both ways. We refuse to have it. Listen, if you make that big leadership call and you say, listen, we know there are risks, but we know best, and it's for the greater good, so let's go ahead. That means that if you were right, you're a hero, you're sainted, you're elevated, they're going to make statues in your honor. They're going to name streets for you. But if you were wrong, you've got to face the consequences. And that's now. Now it's time to face the consequences. And you don't hide under the Fifth Amendment and you don't lawyer up. and you don't cover your butt. You stand up and you say, yeah, you're damn right, I made that call because that's what I thought was best. And I used my expert, no, but you're not seeing any of that. You're not seeing even close to that garbage. Looking forward to my conversation with Jay about Acharya coming up in our 8 o'clock hour, 7 o'clock hour, Robert Malone. Now yesterday, and we're also talking to him about this new development yesterday, President Trump in the Oval Office, signed an executive order pertaining to a reexamination of the Mums, Mumps, Rebella, vaccination cocktail that currently kids are getting, and overall the schedule and the load of vaccines that children. in many cases, in many states, are forced to get at the recommendation of the federal government. It's tied to their participation in public school and other activities as well. Stephen Miller, who is a father, I think, of four now. They just had their fourth child. Stephen Miller was in the room, and I want to start there. This is clip four, folks. Clip four, Stephen Miller, as a father with a newborn, talk from his own personal experience about what goes down here with regard to vaccines. Go ahead, Stephen Miller. I say this as the parent of young children myself. Millions and millions of parents feel they've been pressured when their children are just weeks out of the hospital to take five shots, six shots, seven shots all at once. They're told it'll be normal. Your kid will have a fever of 103 for three or four days. Your kid will stop eating for a week. Your kid's going to change all their sleeping. Don't worry. It's totally fine. It's totally normal. Nobody has studied it.

Nobody's looked at it, nobody's thought about it, the pressure from the pharmaceutical industry and from aspects of the medical industry to pump your kids full of shots Days after birth, with no understanding the long-term consequences, has been a medical travesty. This is an issue, Mr. President, that you have been leading on for years, and, of course, the man to your left has been leading on this issue for years as well, too. It's a really incredible moment to stand here today and finally see the concerns of parents around this country addressed. There's been so much heartache where parents have had healthy children with no issues. They know they've been pressured into doing things that they didn't want to do, and medical science has told them for years that they're concerned. are not valid. This order does two fundamental, incredibly important things. First is we get off of this ridiculous path of having our children get 70 to 90 shots. That is wantonly excessive. Remember, each and every one of these shots produces a profound immunological response. So across any large population, if you give a kid shot after shot after shot, you're going to have vaccine injuries. You're going to have immunological issues. You're going to have potentially neurological issues. Secondly, and so important to you, Mr. President, is the unbundling of the shot. Why do you need to have these shots bundled into these packages? Why can't you split into five visits and give this young body, if a parent wants to do a vaccine, one shot at a time. Why is it that in Japan, you can get a separate measles shot, a separate mump shot, a separate rebella shot. But in America, it has to all be packaged together. This is a courageous action, Mr. President. This is an action that ensures the dignity of patients, the dignity of parents. It restores choice. It says we're going to let the parent and the doctor make a sound medical decision. And again, I'll just say one more time, the fact that you I've had the courage to push this forward, knowing the unfair criticisms from some in the establishment, and to give the chance for Bobby, who spent decades representing parents to stand here today. It's such a profound moment. It's such a beautiful moment, and it's going to lead to such incredible advances in our understanding of children's health, and making sure that, yes, we can be a country that has safety and security for our families and our children, while at the same time protecting patient choice. Bobby, as referred to there, was the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Of course, he's been linked to people's concerns about vaccine hesitancy and whether there are links to autism. He addressed that in the Oval Office. You're going to hear that coming up in a moment. I want to speak to this, too, because I have personal experience with these shots. And as a father, 24 years, 25 years ago, 26 years ago with my oldest child and what happened with her and her birth. her complications and how it related to her vaccine. So we're going to get into that coming up in just a moment. And I do mean in just a moment. First of all, I do want to talk about our friends at Health Plan Network. They are the greatest. If you get your health insurance right now through the ACA marketplace, yeah, you know, Obamacare, you could be paying hundreds of dollars every single month more than you need to for coverage that you're not going to use. And people have this misconception that if you don't get your health insurance from your employer or whatever or your union or whatever, you got to get it through Obamacare.

not true. And if you're getting it through the ACA marketplace, you're paying for way more than you need. I mean, if you're 58 years old, do you need maternity coverage? No, you do not. I'm just here to tell you. Tim Cooper, my buddy Tim, over at Health Plan Network, offers private health insurance plans backed by an excellent rated company that you can use at any doctor and only meet a deductible if you're admitted to a hospital. If you're under age 65 and you're reasonably healthy, you can save 30 to 60% on your monthly premiums. but you got a call to find out. Bill, and he'll pick up the phone.

Not unsurprisingly, the American Association of Pediatricians have, pediatrics have decried the president's executive order yesterday, having to do with the reexamination of the vaccine schedule for children, American Academy of Pediatrics, and they'll tell you that they're not funded or propped up by the pharmaceutical industry. There's also an organization called the Friends of Children Fund. The Friends of Children Fund is a subset of the American Association of Pediatrics. It is a, how do they describe it, unrestricted donation entity that then helps fund on a regular basis, the American Association of Pediatrics. The AAP's Friends of Children's Fund do not disclose many of the donations that they receive. Although if you go to their main page where they list out the patron level donations, you do see Eli Lilly and Genetech and GSK and Prolacta and Sinophie and Regenerin and Sobi and Paragonutritional's. Seems like it's a lot of pharmaceutical companies. But they're saying this is a bad idea. It's a bad idea to re-examine why in Western European countries children at a certain age are getting about a maximum of 11 shots. And the comparable age child here in America is getting 72 shots. My oldest daughter, she's about to turn 27. I got her age all mixed up in my brain because I don't want to think of my oldest daughter being that old. But she had a very tough birth. It was our first child. It ended up being an emergency C-section. She was faced the wrong way. It gave a lot of trauma to her mom. As you can imagine, the pain with the back of the baby's head pressing against the lower spinal column. It happens. And it's painful. She also had quite a bit of distress. And we ended up having, like I said, an emergency C-section after about 18 or 19 hours of labor. Hours after she was born while she was nursing, she stopped breathing. and she turned blue. And it happened several times. She ended up in the NICU for a week as she was monitored. She had to be on phenobarbital barbitol for a month as scans showed that there was a misfire in her basal ganglia portion of her brain. That moderated and settled out. Six months later, we had another CAT scan and her bezel ganglia seemed to be just fine. But we were told by pediatricians that we should be monitoring the strength on her side to see if one side seems stronger than the other. And sure enough, when she was about a year old, she was on one of those busy, play saucer things that you put him in. And she was only using her left hand. Her right hand was just sort of dragging behind her. Actually, that was around eight months when we noticed that. When it was time for her to walk. She was walking, but we could see a considerable limp on one side. Her right leg was not functioning the same way that her left leg was. By the time she was about a year and a half, she was diagnosed as having cerebral palsy. And she's amazing and she's gorgeous and she's beautiful and she is incredibly accomplished. And she doesn't have full use of her right hand and she doesn't have full use of her right leg in terms of being able to have a typical gait.

She has a disability. All that being said, when we started rolling out her vaccine schedule with our pediatrician early on, like when we let our pediatrician know or her pediatrician know very early on that she had a crisis about all the things I just told you. And he said, oh, okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to spread out all of the vaccines that they recommend. And you're going to be coming in here every couple of months and getting vaccines so we can monitor. how she reacts to them and what effect it has on her. And we're not going to load up the vaccines like we would do with a typical child that doesn't have your daughter's history. And I said, well, why are you doing that? And he said, well, because when you load up all the vaccines together, there can be a negative effect and you can get injured from them. And it makes it easier for us to monitor. And it is going to be a lot lighter on her little body to not have to deal with all that because she's already been through a lot. And I said, well, why don't we just do that with all kids? Why does a kid have to go through a traumatic birth to then have a recommended light? And again, this is 27 years ago, 26 and a half years ago, to be exact. And the doctor said, well, it would be best to spread out the vaccines for every child in America, but we can't rely on parents to bring their kids in for all those shots. And that means that those kids won't get the shots. And that's the greater risk to society that we can't trust parents to get their kids these shots. So when the parents have the kid in here in the examination room for their annual checkup, we want to just make sure we get them as many vaccines as we can because the greater good for society is to make sure every kid gets these vaccines so that the diseases don't spread. So your child is going through this risk. for the greater good of society. There's no other way to describe it. It's the truth. You ask any public health official, they'll tell you that. I've asked many public health officials, even those who don't want any change to the vaccine schedule. And they'll say, yeah, we do it this way because when we've got the kid, we want to do the maximum we can.

Have you ever been told that by your doctors? And by the way, one other thing, when you're a parent and you get your kids, they stick that little needle in your kid's precious thigh, they hand you a huge stack of papers, don't they? Really small print, single spaced, both sides. That's supposed to be your informed consent as they lay out, you know, six different hypodermic needles that the nurse is about to jab your kid with. And they hand the papers to you. And you never read them. And even if you did read them, it would take you a day to read them. And when you do read them, you see that they're full of concerns and precautions and warnings and potential dangers. And they hand them to you out the door after they've given your kid the shot, and they call it informed consent. And I don't know. I just don't think that system is worth defending. Rather than just tell you about relief factor, I like telling you about people whose lives have been changed by relief factor because it's a supplement that will make a difference in your life. It's made a difference in my life. I was feeling incredible pain, crippling pain through sciatica. relief factor goes after the inflammation causing pain in your body. And it really affected me when it came to my sciatica because I had muscles and I had a compression of muscle spasms that were compressing that sciatic nerve. It was causing all that pain. a few weeks on Relief Factor and I was back to normal. I want you to get that kind of relief. Whether it's everyday aches and pains as you age or whether it's something more serious like I had, relief Factor will make a difference for you. And they make it easy for you to try because the three-week Quick Start is just $17.76. So go to Relieffactor.com and get that quick start or you can call them. It's 8004 ReliefRleafactor.com. 855784-425. I'd like to hear from you this morning on O'Connor and Company, and most specifically about your reaction to the president's order yesterday that re-examines the current vaccine schedule. I just told you my story. I told you my experience. By the way, the tail end of that experience is I had four kids. That was my first kid. My fourth kid actually was born, or I shouldn't say born. My fourth child is on the autism spectrum. We're not sure where that occurred. It could have been a birth. It could have been, well, I mean, you first start to see the signs of a child on the autism spectrum right around two, two and a half years old, and it usually happens. Maybe coincidentally that that's right around the time where some of the biggest loads of vaccines are administered to children. That's why a lot of people try to draw a connection there. It could be because that's when children are developing their speech more acutely and in a more advanced way and their other representations of their mental advancement and development.

And it happens around that time that you start to notice delays. And it's just a coincidence that the time when you're really plugged in on major developments in your child's brain activity and their speech and other behaviors also happen to be around the same time that we administer all of these vaccines. And that's why people draw connection if they have a child that has a delay. Could be. Or there could be a direct relation. But I do have a child on the autism spectrum. He's 19 years old now. He still doesn't have the use of speech. There have been a lot of manifestations of his autism throughout his life. And it's unconclusive to me, whether it was directly or indirectly related to the vaccines. I don't know. The fact is we don't know. But the truth of the matter is that for a couple of decades now, we're not allowed to ask. And that's the real problem. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., and I'd like to hear from you, 8557-884-4255 on the two major health issues that we've learned about today with regard to the COVID shot and your pregnancies and with regard to your children and the vaccine schedule, how does this affect you? And I want to hear from you right now because our show originates in Washington, D.C. And the people who work for the NIH, the people who work for the CDC, the people who work for the White House and in various senators' offices who have been driving this issue for the last couple of years, and certainly since President Trump became president for the last year and a half, they hear a lot of garbage from people, a lot of complaints, a lot of accusations. They're listening to this program. This is their morning show in Washington. And if you would like to hear, if you'd like to deliver some encouragement, if you'd like to deliver your story to some way communicate to them, your disposition on the reexamination of childhood vaccine schedules and about what should be done with regard to the lies that we're told and what appears to be a cover up with regard to the COVID shot and how it related to miscarriages. Well, now's the time for them to hear you. Let them hear you at 855-784-4255. Like I said, you heard my story. I'd like to hear yours. 855-784. 4255. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. is a lightning rod on this issue. And by the way, I think that the Secretary, in his private capacity when he was a lawyer and he was speaking out against environmental concerns and other things, I think that he was irresponsible with some of the claims that he's made and some of the things that he's said. I also think as Secretary of Health and Human Services, he's been incredibly reserved compared to his behavior before he had an official job with the administration. And I think that that's an important distinction to make. in people's lives. But here he was yesterday when challenged by the press specifically about any links to the vaccine schedule that we have children on right now and increasing cases of children on the autism spectrum. This is clip three, please. Let's go to it.

Which the press loves to parrot is, oh, we're just noticing it more. But this is an absurdity, and this is an assertion that has been debunked again and again and again by peer-reviewed literature. But it's also debunked by common sense. Because we were just noticing it more. We would notice it in older groups. We're not. We're only noticing it in kids who were born. around 1989 or after, the older generations, you're not seeing those increases. So something happened in the mid-90s that changed our children. And it has to be an environmental exposure because genes don't cause academics. It can provide a vulnerability, but you need an environmental toxin. And what the president has charged us with, His finding which one of those exposures or which collection of exposures are causing this epidemic. 8557-884-4255 because I really do want you to be a part of this conversation as well. One thing that has been sort of bubbling behind the scenes or under the surface about this announcement that was made yesterday, and this is something that a lot of people don't know. The president is probably more energized and more passionate about this issue than even Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is. In fact, a few months ago, there were rumors and stories, you know, anonymous sources say people close to the administration claim that there was conflict between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Trump on what we were doing with regard to childhood vaccines because Trump said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wasn't moving fast enough. And everybody who points to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and says he's the radical and he just, you know, made a Faustian agreement with Trump. He doesn't even like Trump and he just wanted the power so he could rule over vaccine and CDC and the health policies of America. No, actually, it's been Trump who's been pushing this. And when you heard him yesterday talking about it, you'd believe it. Here's clip two. This is President Trump talking about this executive order. Separate visits for vaccines rather than giving them all in the same day. Very importantly, vaccinations to hepatitis B, COVID-19, and influenza, among others, are no longer recommended for all children. In addition, this executive order directs the Attorney General to advance legal challenges against states that violate children's rights to religious or medical vaccination exemptions for the exemptions. And then if we go to clip one, he was asked directly about this. And again, the president is an expert. This is outrageous. He's not a doctor. Neither is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. They shouldn't be making these decisions. The usual challenges here for public health. And by the way, most Secretaries Health on Human Services aren't doctors. Most presidents aren't doctors.

And we had one doctor, Bill Cassidy in the Senate, who was saying Republican, outgoing, lost his primary, who said this is outrageous, it's horrible. We had another senator who was a doctor, Rand Paul, who said it's about time that we did this. Almost like you can get a second opinion and have a doctor give you a different advice about things like this, right? But here's the president fielding a question from one of the reporters. Clip one now, please. Thank you. Mr. President, you're a proud father. Would you have vaccinated your children differently based on the recommendations? Well, I did. I took my children for five different vaccinations. In other words, I broke it up. The one visit where they just pump, you know, what seemingly looks like gallons where they pump so much in, I took all of my children from day one I believed in this a long time, a long time ago. I took them with my wife. I took them through five different visits to the doctor. Essentially, they get 20% each, and I had no problem. So it's inconvenient. It's five stops, but it's something that I think will have a huge impact on autism. All right. We're going to take your calls now on this. And I see Matt in Iowa. We're not going to bring you in, Matt, but I see what you want to ask. And let me just jump in. I told the story about my daughter, my 27-year-old daughter being born with cerebral palsy. I don't want anyone to misconceive that... I believe there's some relation to vaccine policy and my daughter having cerebral palsy. That's not the story I was telling. My daughter had a traumatic birth. It was very painful for her mother. And it was a long labor, ended up being an emergency C-section. It turns out that she had many seizures while she was in utero. The reason that it relates to vaccine policy is when it was determined she had cerebral palsy and she had issues with her brain and was in NICU for a week, because of that, her pediatrician decided to spread out her vaccine schedule as an accommodation to the fact that she could be vulnerable to the effects of those vaccines. That's the connection to cerebral palsy here. Not the vaccines cause cerebral palsy, but because we knew our daughter had some issues with her brain at birth, her pediatrician proactively spread out the vaccines for her lest she be further injured. Whereupon I, as an innocent father at the time, said, well, if that's the safest thing to do, why don't we do that for all children? And the answer was because parents can't be trusted. Yeah, I think parents can be trusted. I have more faith in parents, frankly. And that's the point. Our schedule right now of vaccines and the load that we have kids on, it's designed for one thing and one thing only. And it's not the best interests of those infants. It's not the best interests of those toddlers. It's out of convenience. This is the most convenient way to deliver as many vaccines as possible.

during 12-month or six-month visits that parents will generally do. But if you're asked to come in every three months and spread them out better, oh, no, we can't do that, even if it's better for the children. That's my point. My daughter had a pre-existing condition. The pediatrician proactively spread out those vaccines. I'm sure many of you have similar stories. And I want to know why you have to have a pre-existing condition. to have your doctor do the healthiest thing and safest thing for your child. Your calls next on this important issue. Today's the Wisconsin primary. It looks like the Democrats are going to nominate Francesca Hong, who is basically a lightweight and a socialist. and a bit of a lunatic. And it looks like the Republicans have a chance of winning back that governor's seat. The last Republican to be the governor of Wisconsin was Scott Walker. He joins us coming up in our next segment to analyze that race. And people are missing the point here on Wisconsin. Whoever sits in that governor's seat, super influential with regard to the 28 presidential election. That's a big part of today's primary. We'll get into it with Scott Walker coming up at a moment. But I want to hear from you. And a lot of you want to talk about this. So do we lose Steve from Leesberg? He dropped? Okay. Let's go to Bob in Atlanta, Georgia, listening there on 1177 Samsung TV. Hey, Bob, thanks for tuning into O'Connor and Company. Thank you, Larry. I just want to disagree with you respectfully about you said that parents make good decisions. And, you know, one of your colleagues said the same thing yesterday afternoon. I'm sort of addicted to the SELM network. But parents make terrible decisions all the time. Every day, thousands of times, they just do really stupid stuff. Just because you had a child doesn't mean you know how to take care of the child. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if I said parents make great decision. I said we should trust parents with their children, which is a little different. But the whole specific point here is that we're told that parents are irresponsible and they won't bring their kids in for their vaccines on a regular basis if we spread out the vaccines. And so that's why we need to load them up. as much as possible. So should we have a vaccine policy for all children because we're reducing it down to the lowest common denominator of irresponsible parents? Or if you're a responsible parent, should you be able to say, you know what, for my kid, I'll come in every few months for a shot, but let's not load them all up in one visit. Should you have the ability to do that? I like not loading them up, but I'm a knuckle brain. I don't know anything. I'm an uneducated man. But I do know this. Parents make mistakes all the time and many facets of their children's lives. Okay. You've said that. I get that. But the point here with regard to public policy is who ultimately should make the best decision for children, the parent or the government?

Well, it's a combination, sir. I mean, I'm not a know at all. It's a combination. I just, I'm cautious about it. And I appreciate you. I'm going to let you go. I appreciate you right back. I appreciate the humility, but I think you're also being a little – your humility is overriding, I think, where your gut tells you, which is, listen, we need – this is one of the reasons why so many of us were frustrated with what went on during the pandemic. I revere public health institutions. I want – trustworthy public health institutions that's why we deserve to have the truth and facts and transparency and when we find out that those officials in charge of our public health institutions lie to us that's a disaster and that's what's happened here But I want those public health institutions not to make decisions on my behalf for my children's best welfare. I want those public health institutions to give me guidance and information and facts that I can trust so that I ultimately can make the best informed decision for my child. Because even with all the facts at hand, I might make a different decision. And that's my right as a parent ultimately. And we can't ever. Get away from that being the fundamental basis of a parent's rights in this country. Let's go to Charlie in Massachusetts. Go ahead. Charlie, you're next up on O'Connor and Company. Good morning. Hi, Larry. Thanks to take a call. Hello. Yes, go ahead. Okay, thanks for taking my call. So, Larry, I got two things. One is when the president first came on and addressed the United States about the pandemic, and Anthony Fauci stepped in front of him and contradicted what he said. I knew from the get-go that he was not someone to trust. From the get-go, I never got the shots. Me as in my wife. Second of all, in regards to the child's vaccinations. I'd like you to just make a simple analogy to parents or people and say, would you sit your child down for an hour or two and feed him chocolate, cupcakes, ice cream, candy, chocolate, ice cream? What would happen to that child if you did that? You've got to push that. It's the simplest thing. Point taken, Charlie. But no, I get it. Yeah, I think it's a very strong point. It's not a perfect analogy, but it is a good one. Charlie, I got to leave it there. Glad your voice was heard. Scott Walker coming up in a moment. And then we do have Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the MRNA shots. He's joining us as well.

But you should also not be precluded from sharing your personal health experience and your ideas on Facebook. See, that's the happy medium we have to find in a free society. We went way overboard and didn't have a free society under Joe Biden and the COVID pandemic. And very important basic facts about the pandemic and about the vaccines were hidden from you. We know that now. It's not even up for debate. What happens because of that, how do we fix our public health institutions so you can have trust in them again? Coming up in 30 minutes, Dr. J. Betacharya, who now runs the National Institute of Health, he'll be our guest, and we'll face that directly with him. Also, Dr. Robert Malone, who invented that MRNNA technology used for the COVID shot. He joins us coming up in a moment. But right now, it's a big day in the Badger State. One of the last big primary states will... face the voters today in Wisconsin, and boy, oh, boy, is it going to have huge implications going forward? Joining us is the last Republican governor of that great state, but dare I say that may be changing soon. He is, of course, the president of Young America's Foundation and a friend, Governor Scott Walker. Governor Walker, always good to talk to you, sir. Thanks for joining us. Yeah, good morning, Larry. Yeah, not only the last one, excuse me, I'm the... I'm the only Republican governor elected in Wisconsin this century, so I really hope that changes. Geez, when you put it that way, it sounds stark. But I think it will because the Democrats are poised. It's funny, Governor Walker, and I heard you say this too at the beginning of the year when you looked at all these polls and it's like, oh, the historical trends and the party preference, national elections, this is going to be a great year for Democrats. And I remember you saying candidate quality matters. Republicans are not going to be running against generic Democrat. They're going to be running against people. And Wisconsin's about to choose Francesca Hong. Tell me about her. Oh, I mean, you know, the national pitch is common sense versus crazy. In this case, it's common sense versus dangerously crazy. And this is someone who comes, it's only been in five years in the state assembly from one of the most liberal districts in the country. Madison's liberal. Her district is liberal even for Madison. She's liberal even for that district. She wants to abolish the police. She wants to cancel Thanksgiving.

She is the entire litany of the Democratic Socialists. Obviously, you and I know those are policies that have failed, even today as we speak, in places like Venezuela. But she's leading, and will win, I believe, a multi-candidate primary because could be establishment Democrats, including the current governor, have completely messed this thing up. And in the end, I think common sense of Tom Tiffany versus the crazy. Francesca Hong is going to be a winning recipe, but it's a close, close race, just like your old stopping grounds, Michigan is. Yeah, it sure is. But Governor Walker, here's what I don't understand, and it's very similar to Michigan. The Democrats are very liberal in Wisconsin, and certainly they can have some radical ideas. But they're not Francesca Hong liberal. They're not Democrats, Socialists of America liberal, other than those lunatics who took over your capital building there during the Occupy thing in Madison. But, you know, there's a difference between the Madison radicals and the rest of the state of Wisconsin who maybe call themselves Democrats because they liked, you know, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or maybe Bill Clinton and they leaned and they like their union brothers, right? I mean, there's no way Wisconsin Democrats are going to go in this direction. But in the primary, the wild part about this is Charles Franklin, who does the Marquette Law School poll, one of the better ones in the country, actually, for a state poll. He's pointing out that over the last decade, Democrats in the primary voting bloc have moved radically to the left. So there's been a huge shift away from what you would say. Even to Jim Doyle, the guy was the Democrat as a governor before me, I think couldn't win a primary today. That's how far left they've gone. Add to that, something you and I've talked about. That is, you know, the indoctrination, liberal indoctrination of places like the University of Wisconsin and Madison, which we, of course, have warned about it Young America's Foundation for years. That is real. And then the other big element is even beyond the woke young people, the radically left young people, there is a sense of discontent among younger voters, even just out of college voters who more than a burrito are worried about housing. And so her really aggressive appeal, at least in the primary, is connecting. I think Tiffany's got a chance to win those folks over by saying, hey, she's not going to anything done. She's going to be out worrying about all these crazy things. She's posted and talked about in the past. I'm going to get the job done. I'm going to lower costs by helping the private sector, you know, build quality homes and affordable price, bring down property taxes, push back on health care by transparency. Those are the sorts of things he needs to push back on. And I think he is. Tell me a little bit about Tom Tiffany, because I don't know much about him, but I've been watching him for the last couple of weeks, some campaign appearances and some of his ads. And he seems like he's got some real potential there that he seems like a pretty solid Republican candidate, but not, you know, just sort of cookie cutter blue suit with a red tie. No, not at all. I mean, Tom has served a little bit of his life in public services in Congress. He was in the state senate and state assembly when I was governor, was a solid reformer.

But more important than that, I mean, he and his wife, Chris, started a small business years ago. I love him telling that story because it's a good reminder that when you start a small business, you know, you're counting every penny. You've got to make ends meet. And so he, not only did his wife, did that, but they can relate to people who today are fighting hard to make ends meet. And who would love to have a governor who can relate to that, understand that, and focuses on counting pennies. So he did that. He was actually in addition to that. Way up north in northern Wisconsin where he's out, he was a dam tender. So I love the concept of him stopping all the crap coming out of Madison. But this is a guy with unique background. He's very low-key. I mean, he's solid. He's articulate, but he's not a in-your-face personality, which I think is a great contrast. In the end, I've said that may be as important as anything because more than her wild, unworkable ideas is her tone. I mean... The day after there was an officer, or even hours after there was an office-related shooting a few weeks ago in Madison, she was out on the street with an angry mom. They basically baited her with a bullhorn into saying it was an execution. Even while, again, the current governor is a Democrat. He learned from Kenosha years ago. He said, we got to keep this calm. We've got to be respectful. We've got to wait for an independent review. She was out calling an execution. She drops F bombs all the time in her rallies. I think that those videos alone would be a great contrast to Tom Tiffany, who's just steady Eddie. But Governor Walker, you know better than anyone. A big part of campaigning is to define your opponent and sort of let people know that there's real danger in electing that opponent. But you do have to come up with some good ideas. You know, you were right to point out that young people are concerned about their future. You know, our mutual friend Charlie Kirk before he was killed a year ago, this is something he was talking about, that all of these young people in their 20s people you interact with all the time at Young America's Foundation, they want to know that they're going to be able to get a at debt. They're going to be able to buy a house. They're going to be able to start a family. We need to give them the path forward. We Republicans and conservatives have to tell them, yeah, absolutely. And here's the way you do that so that they're not taken in by this socialist message. Right. And again, some of my good friends are making light of the burrito thing. And I think, you know, I ate ramen noodles so I can relate to it. But housing, I think there's a real issue there. Think about this in Donald Trump's first term. the difference between what it costs to buy home and get a mortgage versus what it cost at the end of Biden's term. One of my sons and his wife bought a home during that time frame, it was almost $1,000 more a month if they paid a mortgage. Now, interest rates are probably going to be never, or at least a long time from now, be as low as they were in Trump's first term. So it's always about the future. It's not about going back in time. But Tom Tiffany yesterday was with Glenn Youngkin, just down the way from us in Wisconsin. He was talking about affordable homes, not low-income homes, but affordable starter homes. That's the sort of thing he needs to keep focused on and point out Democratic socialism, as you and I know, it sounds good on the surface, but it doesn't work. Look at Venezuela. That is a real-time example. Working people picking through the garbage, looking for food, not homeless people in California, people actually working. That's what Democratic socialism gets you.

We're talking to Governor Scott Walker. He's the President of Young America's Foundation. I do want to talk about some of the programs you're doing at Yef right now. And it's a busy week for Yef, too, right now. But before we get to it a little bit more on Wisconsin, first, I'd love for you to reflect on how important it is to get a Republican as the governor of Wisconsin going into the next presidential election. This has huge ramifications if Tiffany can bring this home and follow you as the next Republican governor. Well, it really does. If you look at the swing states in the Midwest, Wisconsin and Michigan, Pennsylvania, those were all states that after Barack Obama came in, all switched to Republican governors, we all set the pace. We showed what it's like to have conservative leadership. And I believe that opened the door years later to Donald Trump defeating Hillary Clinton in that first election because people said, yeah, I want more of this. I see that this works. Even in 22, when the red wave was more of a red mist, where it was completely solid was every Republican governor in the nation that stood for re-election, got reelected, even in tough races like Georgia. So this sets the stage overall for policy, but particularly in going into 28, it's why four years ago, George Soros, J.D. J.B. Pritzker, Reid Hoffman, poured millions of millions of dollars in here to win the governor's race because they wanted... any possible barrier to stop Donald Trump from being elected again. They will, and they've done that in the judicial races, that they've got a solid majority on the state Supreme Court. This is the epicenter because there's no swing state in America closer than the state of Wisconsin is. If you win Wisconsin, we've seen in the last big elections, Trump wins in 16, wins the presidency. Biden wins, wins the presidency. Trump, two years ago, wins, wins the presidency. Whether it's JD Vance, Mark or Ruby, or somebody we don't know, they will be largely dependent on how well they do in Wisconsin. Governor Scott Walker is our guest, President of Young America's Foundation. Anyone walking around Washington, D.C. this last several days saw a whole lot of clean-cut, happy-go-lucky young college kids, all wearing that iconic Charlie Kirk Freedom T-shirt and a yaff hat. It was a great thing to see. Tell me about the conference that you just concluded in Washington and also what's happening at the Reagan Ranch later this week. Yeah, eaf.org or folks are more interested in all of this. But we had over a thousand people gathered last week at Mount Vernon. We then took a record crowd twice the size of a previous high number of college students downtown right near the White House and had just one fabulous speaker after another, whether it was Ben Shapiro, Boris Johnson, Scott Jennings, Art Laugh, Ben Carson, Caroline Downing. Molly Hemingway, just one after another after another. And the best part about those events is their age-specific. It was college students. We have high schools and middle school students separate. But they get to interact. You know, these talks, as you know, you've done them. You've been a star at them. Oh, yeah. Just talk at the students. They get to ask you tough questions. And the number one thing, though, more than all of that, as cool, all that sounds, was when you've got... about a thousand young people together. The thing I kept hearing was I had no idea there were that many people who thought like I did. You make people realize they're never alone. People, we've got your back. You're not the only one who thinks like this. This week we're going to be out the Reagan Ranch. Hard to believe, Larry, we were just kids then, but this is the 45th anniversary of the largest tax cut in American history. Ronald Reagan's side in August of 1981. Art Lapper's going to talk. He was to...

chief architect helping the president do that. That was literally the largest one ever, and it was signed at the Rican Ranch. So we're going to have a whole big group up there right at the ranch, right where they signed it. And then coming up in October, folks are listening, you've got a high schooler. We're going to be at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia. We're going to tour Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the very first tomb of the unknown soldier, all with another dynamic high school conference. Governor Walker, we got to leave it there, but all the info is at yaf.org. Always great to talk to you and enjoy primary day in Wisconsin, sir. Thanks, sir. Speaking of Charlie Kirk and young conservatives, you know just two weeks before his tragic assassination last year in September, Charlie Kirk sat down for one of his final interviews, and he wrestled with a timeless question in this interview. Does God still speak today? Now, that conversation became the foundation of a powerful and provocative new documentary. It's called Can You Hear Me Now? It explores prophecy, faith, scripture, history, and the role believers are called to play in our culture today. I want you to be able to see this film. You can pre-order it now. It's, can you hear me now? You can get a free DVD at SalemNow.com, or you can visit can you hear me now film.com. SalemNow.com, get your free DVD. And you can follow director Matthew Thayer's investigation, examining evidence, prominent prophetic voices, scripture, history. It's an incredible film. Salem now.com. Dr. Robert Malone is the author of the book Lies, My Government Told Me and The Better Future Coming. That resonates today, considering the lies our government told us about the COVID shot. He also wrote the book Cy War enforcing the New World Order. His substack is a good one, Malone. News. Dr. Robert Malone, also known as the original inventor, the MRNA technology for vaccines specifically utilized for the COVID shots. Dr. Malone, always good to talk to you, sir. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me on, Larry. Based on yesterday's revelations specifically with regard to contemporaneous conversations happening between Anthony Fauci and Rochelle Walinski and the Surgeon General, a week after Joe Biden was inaugurated. This was January of 2025. Excuse me, January 25th, 2021. I want you to look at this. This is what the CDC director, Rochelle Walenski, said with regard to the COVID shot and pregnancy. Take a listen and then we'll react. Is it safe to get vaccinated while you're breastfeeding? It absolutely is safe to get vaccinated. So I would say if you are thinking about getting vaccinated, there is no bad time to get vaccinated. Get vaccinated while you're thinking about having a baby, before you're thinking about having a baby, while you're pregnant with your baby, or after you've delivered your baby. There is no bad time. Dr. Robert Malone, I'm not going to ask you if that's factually accurate. I'm going to ask you, was she lying right there? Did she know better and was she lying to expectant mothers and putting them at risk?

The information that's coming out suggests that she was and that there was an active discussion about this positioning and that this was basically a policy position taken by the administration with Anthony Fauci's input, I think strong input. And that there was, what she's saying there is unequivocal that they have... unequivocal data of safety. And that was absolutely the generalist way to put it as a misrepresentation of the facts. Larry, what really bothers me about all this, and we're going to have more because of Anthony Fauci's cell phone, is that it's revealing a systemic problem. throughout the government, this collusion, there's various legal strategies about something like this, where you have what appears to be a true conspiracy, is why this discordance, why the willingness to promote these falsehoods? Another one is that Anthony Fauci's record now shows that he was questioning that the vaccines were not preventing infection and disease, and he was aware of that. And yet, for instance, I was literally called a liar by the Washington Post for saying exactly that. So the truth is coming out now, and I'm not so concerned about the vindication. What I'm concerned about is the appearance that there was some conflict of interest. It's very hard. to square the circle about what has been revealed now because it seems to indicate a major discordance between the private communications and awareness. And on almost every single aspect of this outbreak and the issues around the vaccine and the public policy positions that were taken and taken rather forcefully in a coordinated fashion and promoted globally. Why was that the case? And I think the answer is that the Bidol Act and a number of other things have created a structural conflict of interest that pervades the government, and that has got to be fixed. Are these, am I right to just presume that even though they had data that undermined the actual public statements they were making, they set that data aside and continued with the forward messaging that they had because they just determined that it was in the greater good. Is that really what this all boils down to? You're stumbling on that. The gap in your expression there indicated your own cognitive dissonance that this was in the public good. That you just put your finger right on the core issue is that the data are inconsistent with the policy position.

And this is not a minor thing. This impacted globally. It impacted across the United States. It impacted public health. It has destroyed the legitimacy of my profession in many ways. And what bothers me is that we can now clearly see that discrepancy, that discordance. And the big question is why. And you're putting the most benign framing on this. I'm trying. And, of course, if you do otherwise, you will immediately be attacked by our usual friends. But I'm speaking of corporate media, of course. Yes. But it is clear that there's something deeper going on here. And that, for me, the salaciousness of the latest revelations of Anthony Fauci's behaviors and the middle finger salute from his wife and all that stuff makes for a nice press and buzz. But here we are in D.C. And this is a serious topic. Why did the entire government? coordinate in this fashion in ways that it understands clearly now. We're not aligned with the data and we either have some sort of data blindness like group think discusses or we have a conflict of interest and people are aware of what they're doing. And it's hard for me when you see the notes to not think that Anthony Fauci was fully aware. And Anthony Fauci was put in a position where he could put pressure on the rest of the administrative state. Dr. Malone, I got to leave it there. Robert Malone. It's malone. News. We're up against it. But I'm going to ask Jay Badicharia, who's joining us next, that very question. Thank you, sir. I want to tell you about my friends at Relief Factor because they've helped me through some real chronic pain here with my sciatica, and I want to give them a hug when I see them, the folks that bring us Relief Factory. It goes after the inflammation that's causing your pain. It doesn't fool your brain and sort of get you all dopey and make you think that you're not in pain when you really are. No, no, no, it helps fix the pain. Joni shared with us her story because her husband couldn't open his hands in the morning and had to give up playing the guitar. Now after Relief Factor, Well, he has his flexibility back, and he's playing music again. I want you to get back to your life and the things that you love the most. So go to Relieffactor.com. Your three-week, quick start of Relieffactor, only $17.76.com, or give him a call. It's 1,8004 relief, 800, the number four relief. It is 806 on the East Coast in your nation's capital, and we are broadcasting from our flagship station, WMAL, in your nation's capital, the Relief Factor Studios. It's O'Connor and Company. Good morning. Although today I am actually in San Diego, California, KCBQ, the Answer, our affiliate in Southern California, in San Diego, at least. And again, very happy for the generosity of our hosts here, helping me get the show to you from here.

It's always fun to do that. Also, coming up in 30 minutes, our friend Matt Foldy is going to be joining us. Talk about some of the battleground Senate states and some of the interesting tactics Democrats are using by propping up independent candidates who are really... Well, they're Democrats in sheep's clothing. We'll get to that coming up in 30 minutes. Right now, we're joined by the director of the National Institutes of Health. He's had a busy couple of days from that remarkable exchange with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that we played for you earlier today to yesterday's revelations of Anthony Fauci's behind-the-scenes communications regarding the COVID shot and how it might affect pregnancy. And then, of course, the president's announcement with regard to childhood vaccinations. Dr. J. Badacharya, you're a busy. man, so we appreciate you carving out some time for us. Nice to be here. I'd like to first address the new executive order with regard to childhood vaccinations. What exactly does it do? Because I feel like I'm getting mixed information from the corporate media about what the president and the Secretary of Health and Human Services actually announced yesterday. I mean, fundamentally, it does two major things. It just sets a signal that this is exactly where the administration is. So first, it confirms our intention to actually study the causes of autism. There's so many families that have autistic children that want to know answers. And, you know, at the NIH, we've been doing this for the last year. We've given permission to researchers to actually take a look. And the president keeps asking me and Bobby, why has autism risen? So you saw his passion yesterday about the issue. Yes. And so we're studying that. We're going to get good answers. It's going to take time. Science is complicated. It's not going to be a simple thing. But it's a real sea change in how we think about things. The second big thing is- Real fast, so can I just ask, and I'm sorry, I don't mean to do a Margaret Brennan on you. I promise I've not. been told and I keep hearing that that has already been researched, that there's study after study after study that has said that there is no connection. Well, I mean, I think the question, a narrow question of is, are autism connected to some vaccine or another? That question's been studied for several vaccines. And they, in my view, have not found any link between, for instance, the measles vaccine and autism. Now, there's a lot of controversy over that. The issue really to me is that the... The study of it has been, there's this cloud over the study of it. If you want to study it, you have to kind of, if you find an answer that doesn't comport with sort of the politically correct answer, you're going to be fear for your career. As a result, a lot of scientists have feared to engage in the issue at all. I see. What we're doing is we're essentially telling scientists,

give free reign, really figure out what the biology is, this is a complicated condition. There's a lot of, there's a lot of heterogeneity in it, where there's some people with very severe autism, profound autism, like severe symptoms, profoundly disabled, nonverbal, you know, stemming, all the kind of things that make, make it life very difficult for them and for their families. And then there's like the more sort of more mild forms like Asperger's like social awkwardness, things like that. The biology is going to be very, very different. And there's a genetic sort of precondition that we don't understand. There's environmental exposure. And this is, Bobby made this point very forcefully. The rise in autism of the last decades can't possibly just simply genetic. It had to have been something environmental because the genetics haven't changed so much over the last, you know, 23 years. Right. It makes no sense that in three decades you've seen this incredible spike. That's obvious. That makes perfect sense. Yeah. All right. Sorry. And again, I'm sorry for interrupting. So that's the first side of it, that there is now going to be robust investigation and research into this, and there's not going to be a cloud over it. Thank God. What's the other part of what was announced yesterday? Yeah, just real fast on that. We've been working on that for a year and some, like at the NIH. We did this major autism data science initiative to empower scientists to look at this. So it takes time for science to produce that. Okay, the second thing is autonomy over decision making for your kids. So the president has very, very strongly feels that the vaccination schedule that we have had for the longest time of the United States, which doesn't comport with our European colleagues, is too aggressive, but that requires and basically forces parents to vaccinate their kids with too many doses all at once. And the president strongly feels that it should be sort of spaced out over time rather than sort of given all at once. The key thing to me, I take out of that, and this is something the president I know and Bobby very strongly feels, is that parents shouldn't be feel forced to do these things. They should be given options rather than mandates. And so the second thing that lays down is a principle that we should be... Partners with our, we in the medical field should be partnering with parents and families and helping make these decisions, bringing good science along, rather than sort of sitting above saying you must do this or else you're a bad person or something. Yeah. Dr. J. Badachari is our guest. He's the director of the National Institutes of Health. Some other big stories that developed yesterday had to do with the revelations of behind the scenes conversations in early 2021 as the vaccine mandates were being rolled out by the Biden administration. And specifically, I'll just ask it this way. Based on what we know now, doctor, were pregnant women at risk when they were mandated to get the COVID shot?

You know, I don't know the full answer to that question. But given that, even continuing uncertainty in my mind about that, answer that question, I don't believe that it should ever have been mandated. Actually, even be apart from that, right? Especially for pregnant women, you have a new product. Put yourself back in January 2021. You have a new product. You're Anthony Fauci. You have doubts about whether this product is safe for pregnant women. I mean, you see that clearly in his text messages. You shouldn't be then going out in public and saying, yeah, everyone should take it, including pregnant women, is safe. Right? I find myself astonished by this because normally when we are making recommendations for pregnant women, we're very, very cautious. Because, you know, we don't really know. These products aren't tested on pregnant women in the trials because pregnant women often are, you know, is a vulnerable group, are not included in the trials necessarily. And so what you have is a situation where there's very little evidence. public health messaging that's the professes confidence that didn't exist and you see that in the in the messaging there should never have been mandates around this and you know I think it's just it's a it's a tragedy actually the the should never have happened the way it did Let me reframe the question then and ask you this way. Based on the information that these public health officials had at their disposal, I'm talking about the surgeon general, the director of the CDC, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, did they have enough warning signs and red flags for them to have recommended the pregnant women not get the vaccine? Would that have been the appropriate recommendation based on any other scientific condition that you've experienced? I think the answer to that question is yes with an asterisk, right? So if you had a pregnant woman that had some other medical condition that predisposed under bad outcomes from COVID, you know, so what I would have done is I would have said, look, we're not certain. We don't have great evidence on this. Talk to your doctor. In general, it's probably not a good idea. That's what I would have said in that setting. Okay. And I appreciate that. The other question that if we can bring it back to the childhood vaccination policy, the load, the schedule. I've heard concerns about herd mentality and that even if a child, if a parent says, yes, I'm okay with my child getting the shot, if they go into a classroom and that there are kids that don't have the shot because herd mentality can't be achieved. If everyone's not getting it, you understand it better than I do and you can probably explain it. What is the concern there? And what is sort of that... That then diagram moment where things overlap in such a way that we might actually be exposing our society to these diseases. We hope we had pretty much gotten rid of.

Yeah, so the idea is something called herd immunity. It's a very simple idea, right? So if you take a vaccine, for instance, oh, I said herd mentality, didn't I? I apologize. Well, there's a lot of that too. And also a problem. Yes, I'm sorry. Freudian slip. Thank you for herd immunity. No worries. Yeah, herd immunity. So if you, if you take the measles vaccine, right, it is a really. a good vaccine for this particular thing. It makes it so that you will not get measles and very unlikely that you'll spread measles to others. So you're taking the vaccine protects others. That's the idea. Not all vaccines are like this. We saw this with the COVID vaccine, for instance. You get the COVID vaccine. You can still get COVID. You can still spread it to others, right? In fact, many vaccines don't have that sort of property of protecting others from the vaccination. They may protect you, but they don't necessarily protect others. The measles vaccine is one where it does protect others. Okay. The idea is if you're a parent and you're worried about measles, which, you know, measles is a bad disease for kids, especially, the best way to manage that risk is to vaccinate your child for the measles vaccine. That will solve that problem. It doesn't matter if other kids are with them that aren't vaccinated because your child is already protected by the measles vaccination. Right? So the question of herd immunity is a technical question about what level you need so that the transmission of the disease in the population is slow enough so you don't, that the society at large can say, okay, we're near eradication or something. We don't really have to worry so much about it. I see. With measles, roughly 95% of the population probably needs that kind of immunity in order to get herd immunity, to get to below the herd immunity threshold so that the transmission is very low. But that's a theoretical matter. For the parents, if you're concerned about measles, vaccinate your kids with measles. That will stop. That will reduce the risk of measles. It's that simple. Near zero. Yeah. Dr. Jay, but it's right. We got to leave it there. Sadly, we're up against a break. But I really appreciate it. I know how busy you are. Thank you for joining us. Let's do it again. In case you missed it, that was Dr. J. Badacharya. He's the director of National Institute of Health. I'd get kudos again to our incredible executive producer, Heather Hunter, for lining up the most important guests at the most important times. That question and answer should resonate with everyone. It was very simple. Dr. Baticharya, based on the information they had at their disposal at the time in January of 2021, Dr. Walensky, Dr. Walensky, the surgeon general. based on what they saw with regard to the COVID shot and potential risk to pregnant women, should that shot have been recommended? Forget about mandated, which it was, should it have been recommended to pregnant women? And the answer from Dr. J. Badacharya, your director of the National Institute of Health, was no, with an asterisk. If there were other underlying conditions and the risk of COVID would have been very detrimental to the mother, then yes, it should have been discussed with her doctor. But across the board, that shot should not have been recommended. For pregnant women. And forget about recommending it. It was forced on pregnant women by your government. If you're a pregnant woman in the military, my daughter is in the military. She's in her ninth month. She's overdue. She's ready to have her baby. She won't eat sushi.

She won't eat sushi, even though, you know, there's some questionable concern over whether sushi really is a problem and whether it affects pregnancies. You know, you see scientific studies all the time. But better safe than sorry. She's trying to regulate everything that goes into her body. She is very healthy. She's in the United States Navy. She graduated from the Naval Academy. She's in peak condition. She doesn't want to bother, you know, deal with it. She's got discipline. She can avoid sushi for nine months. She can't wait to have sushi after she gets birth. But that's how pregnant women are. I've been around pregnant women. I'm a father of four myself. You are so in tune and so plugged in and you try not to do anything or eat anything or take anything that might negatively affect that fetus, that unborn baby, your son and daughter. And if you were in the military and you were pregnant during Joe Biden's administration, they forced you to take that shot lest you be discharged. They forced you to take that shot. And based on the information they had at their disposal, that shot shouldn't even have been recommended and made available to pregnant women, let alone forced on people. This is a scandal decades in the making and something bigger than the reflecting pool and the liner that the president had installed and whether it got vandalized or not. But how much time will you see on cable news tonight on this story versus that story? Jim and Henderson, Nevada. Beautiful Henderson, Nevada, by the way. I'll be out your way in a month. Jim, thanks for calling in your own O'Connor and Company. Oh, so great to be on. What a fantastic show. And let me just say, too, that Donald Trump lifted the mandatory requirement of vaccines that Biden put in. But, Larry, the reason why I'm calling is because I would love to have you have Sherry Tin Penny, who wrote the book called Fowl. on your program. She is so brilliant when it comes to vaccines. I'm telling you, after reading her book, 20 years ago, I did not get my 19-year-old daughter vaccinated, and she is in excellent health today. We will look at it. Dr. Tenpenny. Thank you, Jim, for the recommendation. We will look into it. And listen, we welcome all opinions on this show, my brother, and I appreciate the kind words. Mark in Burke, Virginia, listening on our flagship, WMAL. Go ahead, Mark. We've only got about a minute and a half. I know you've got a story. So jump right in. Thank you for taking my call, Mary. So my daughter, in 2024, she was 15 years old. This happened when I first became alert to it is when the school called me in to take her to CSB. And so I took her to CSB, and they ended up putting her in her hospital for 10 months. She had gone into a Catatonia state of mind. You can communicate with her at all. She became onset schizophrenia. And while at the hospital, it's like a lot of stuff was going down. And, yeah, she spent 10 months in the hospital. Towards the end, I know the specialist brought me and my wife, the mother, into an office, and said, look,

We did all these tests. Everything came back negative. So it's the process of elimination, they told us. And they said, we think that it was a COVID vaccination related. Wow. I did this to your daughter. As a teenager, as a healthy teenage girl. Healthy, healthy, getting A's at Robertson High School. getting A's and everything and all of a sudden bang. Mark, God bless you and bless your daughter. I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm up against it. I'm sorry. I wish I could give you more time. Your story was heard and I assure you there are tens of thousands of people who are going to start praying for you and your daughter. God bless you, Mark. I'm so sorry about that. I'll tell you real fast about the supplements that I take from my pain relief. It's relief factor. Relief factor goes right to inflammation, which is causing pain. It's not some sort of dopey sort of opioid that's going to trick your brain and make it think like you're not in pain when you really are. No, no, no. It actually goes to the root of the problem, and it's really helped me out. It helped Mark out. Mark was in tears from his daily hand joint discomfort. After just one week on Relief Factor. He got a 50% improvement, and now he barely feels any pain at all. I want you to try Relief Factor so you can feel the relief that so many of us are feeling. And your first three weeks of Relief Factor, it's called the Quick Start, just $17.76. So give him a call. It's 800, the number four relief, or go to Relieffactor.com. Again, that's 800 for relief. Relieffactor.com, and you're going to be able to drop that pain and get back to life. Larry O'Connor, O'Connor and Cupaday from the Relief Factory Studios. Good morning from beautiful San Diego, California. As the sun's starting to creep up and we're excited about the pending grandchild. I'll let you know as soon as it happens. Stop asking. That's actually what my daughter told me, so I'm going to say it back to you. Thanks for tuned in. Joining us right now is the editor-in-chief of the Washington Reporter, and he is a friend of the program. You know him, of course, from his regular appearances on Newsmax. He's the one and only Matthew Foley, live in Montana. All right, Foley, I know you've got cowboy boots, but what, you're going full-on western, bucking Broncos, and the whole thing? I'm really slumming it out here in Whitefish. And obviously, congrats in advance to the O'Connor family from the Foldy family. Thank you, sir. You've been diving into this story. It affects this race out there. It also affects Nebraska. Basically, Democrats are running stealth Democrats who are pretending to be independents, but they're obviously Democrats, but they know the Democrat brand is toxic. Is that pretty much what's going on here? So, okay, there are a couple of things going on here. Big picture, what we're seeing from the Democrats right now is there's no real reason for them to have primaries because whether it's in Maine or Nebraska, as you mentioned, or here in Montana or Idaho or South Dakota, they've either successfully or made a very strong attempt.

kicked their own party's nominee out of the race. Look, in Maine, obviously, Graham Platner was replaced by the cousin Stupper, Troy Jackson. In Nebraska, the Democratic nominee for Senate had a very simple campaign promise. If you vote for me in the Democratic primary, I will drop out if I win. And she did just that. But here in Montana, there's a little bit more going on here because the Democrats, Larry, you're completely right. They want the national Democrats want this fake independent, Seth Bodner, who is the president of the University of Montana. He was recruited into this race by John Tester, who was the former Democratic senator here, but also with backing from Mark Chuck Schumer orbit. So this guy, even though he's running as an independent. is Chuck Schumer's preferred candidate. Now, the voters in Montana had other ideas, the Democrats here. They voted for a woman, Alani Bankhead, as their nominee. So in the final days before the deadline yesterday to withdraw from the race, the Democrats went, they worked overtime to try and convince Alani Bankhead to drop out of this race. What did that entail? Well, I got leaked Facebook posts, leaked Google Docs from... People aligned with Seth Bodner. He disavowed this campaign and then called my outlet Washington Reporter Republican propaganda. You know that's a totally ridiculous assertion. If only, you're not making that kind of money. That would be awesome, though. I'm not making the left-wing dark money, aligned media money. We are propaganda for truth, the Washington reporter. But basically they wanted to bully, coerce, cajole, and threaten Alani Bankhead to get out of the race. So these documents, one funny post, and it said, here are suggested posts for you to tweet at, what do you call it, Blue Skyat. I don't even know what the verb for that is. Yeah, the Blue at Bankhead. Skyass, yeah. Here's, by the way, all of your family's social media platforms. Here's what they do for work. Here's how you could influence them. But please don't make it look like it was chat GPT written. Now, this is part of a special campaign that we've seen around the country. In South Dakota, I have to be very careful with what I say here. The Democratic nominee for Senate dropped out after his house burned down. Now, we don't know who burned his house down. But it happened right around the deadline to withdraw from the Senate race. So Democrats are aware that their brand, especially in these redder states in Alaska, where they found another Dan Sullivan to run against Senator Dan Sullivan in Montana, where they wanted a Democratic nominee to drop out of this race. In South Dakota, where their nominee's house burned down mysteriously, all in favor of independence. This is happening in the Idaho Senate race. as well. So as Republicans face obviously historical headwinds in a midterm election, Democrats are nevertheless realizing, hey, people don't really like who are voters want. And we have the primary in Wisconsin tonight where they're poised to not make this anti- Thanksgiving socialist. So even though Democrats have a potential for a blue wave of sorts this year, their voters seem to say, give us the craziest people that we can possibly nominate. And let's roll the dice with that.

Our guest is Matt Foley. And Matt, let's, I just need, people need to understand. If you're running as an independent and you're just going to want to be on the ballot in a state as an independent candidate. All you got to do is get enough signatures on petitions, and you're on the ballot, right? There's nothing democratic about the process. Nobody's voting. You're an independent. It's not like the independents have their own little mini primary. Who would you be running against, right? So that's all it takes. That's what Chuck Schumer has done. Well, it sounds like you're describing Kamala Harris in 2024 as well. Well, that's true. That's real. And that's the point I'm making because meanwhile, the Democrat candidates. Democrats actually voted for them. They had a primary. They exercised their democratic freedoms that must be protected because if Donald Trump wins, we'll never have an election again. These people won. They're the official candidate. And then Chuck Schumer is basically forcing them off the ticket so that this guy or gal that just got enough petitions to be on the ticket could basically be the wolf and sheep's clothing, the stealth Democrat who isn't calling themselves a Democrat. This is amazing. I think what you're seeing is Democrats are afraid of their own voters. That's what's happening here because their voters increasingly are crazy. Do these independent so-called actually have a chance? This guy Osborne in Nebraska seems to be polling pretty well. So, okay, let's shift to these other races. The one really funny thing that happened here that I want to end on the Montana part with is this came down to the wire. Alani Bankhead, the Democratic nominee, as you noted, tens of thousands of people voted for this woman. No one has voted for Seth Bodner ever. The Montana Democratic Party right after the deadline to withdraw passed, tweeted thanks to Alani Bankhead for dropping out of the Senate race. So they didn't even know. what was happening. Now, they immediately deleted that post, but fortunately, I got a screenshot of it before they said, thank you to Alani Bankhead. We're going to, you know, we're going to win. But they had it all drafted and poised and it actually published it, assuming that the plan had worked? Assuming that their plan, let's just be clear, the Democrats' plan was to have no Democratic nominee. That is what their plan was. Now, it was foiled. I think it backfired in part because of these insane pressure tactics that I reported on that the independent candidates, supporters mounted. But in Nebraska, it worked. Let's look there. Montana Democrats, it seems like they are in the running for one of the most inept state parties in America. In Nebraska, though, their plan succeeded. This woman won the Democratic nomination under the simple, simple platform of, you can't vote for me in November. I'm going to drop out in favor of this guy, Dan Osborne. Now, last cycle, I did a lot of reporting about Dan Osborne because he was running for Senate again in Nebraska this time, or last time I should say, against Deb Fisher. Now he's running for Senate again against Pete Ricketts, who's the Republican incumbent. But what Democrats did last cycle was very clever. They said,

We know it's Nebraska. We know that a Democrat will not win statewide here. It hasn't happened for at least a decade. What we're going to do is create a bunch of pop-up organizations that we won't have to disclose the funding of until, in essence, election day. And as it turned out, last cycle. let's just say all but 100% of Dan Osborne's support from outside groups came from just trade organization names of Chuck Schumer's Senate majority pack. So he was completely backed by Democrats last cycle. And I think, honestly, though, even though you are right, the polling shows that he's still doing very well. I think a lot of that is residual name ID. Now there's simply no denying that Dan Osborne is Chuck Schumer's candidate, even though he's running as. Again, an independent because Democrats know that they won't be able to win statewide. The guy is Chuck Schumer's pick. The guy is Chuck Schumer's preferred pick. The Democrats, though, did execute that bait and switch that they failed to do in a state like Montana. Shortly after 501 p.m. here, right when I got cell service again, I tweeted, I want to be the first person to congratulate Senator Kurt Almaty, who's the Republican running. Because now that there's this messy three-way race in Montana, this seat is off the map. I think the Democrats realize there's no reason to try and spend money here. So what I expect actually will happen is a lot of that will go to Nebraska. A lot of that will go to a shadowy nexus of organizations that are going to run ads backing Dan Osborne. You can take this to the bank when their financial disclosures come out, Larry. They're all going to be Democrats. They will all be Democrats backing Dan Osborne there. This is the same thing that's happening in Idaho where the Republican or where the Democrat just dropped out of the race. To the extent that Democrats want to try and spend in South Dakota for the independent in that race, it will all be Democrats. It's a tried and true thing that we've seen them do cycle after cycle. But I do think that Republicans had finally gotten a little bit more keen to this. And I think that voters have as well when they realize. If you're an independent and all of your support is from Chuck Schumer, perhaps you're just a Democrat in sheep's clothing. So, Matt, I mean, this is, there's no other way to describe it. They're rigging the election. They're doing it fair and square. No one's breaking the law. But that's how they always rig elections. They always rig it fair and square. So this is everything that we're talking about is legal that the Democrats are doing. They're just being very clever and operating, yes, within the system that exists. But what we don't see is Republican nominees for Senate. anywhere, I was trying to think before this show the last time the Republicans nominated someone for a statewide office and then forced them to drop out after tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of voters selected them in favor of an independent. I don't think it's happened this millennium as far as I can tell. But Democrats are doing it systematically, honestly. In any red state where there's a Senate election, you're seeing Democrats do it. You've seen the Avengers, obviously. You'll have grandkids soon. Thanos talked about, you know, we have to.

use whatever to destroy what the Democrats are doing is they're using democracy they're destroying democracy to save democracy that's what we're saying here they're saying our voters are snapping the fingers picking these crazy socialists we got to get rid of these guys in favor of our establishment picks I don't think it's going to work in any of the states we discussed even if they have a good year this year You mentioned Republicans, though, not doing this. I'll be honest. I'm a little jealous. I mean, I wish Republicans were as ruthless as Democrats. Could we have harnessed some of that Democrat energy with Max Miller over the weekend? I'm not saying they should burn his house down, but that might have been effective maybe over there in Ohio. The only shenanigans I think that I would just have your listeners look to it down the road is the third party candidates, the more traditional, the libertarians, the Green Party candidates. It does look like Republicans may have gotten their way in one house race in Michigan's 7th district where Democrats nominated a Democratic socialist, this insane guy Will Lawrence, to run against Congressman Tom Amy Coney Barrett. It does seem like the Green Party candidate there may be a Republican plant. Outside of that, though. The Democrats systematically prop up every libertarian running for office. We saw it in our home state of Maryland. Last cycle, they're going to do it in Texas again, probably. They did it in Iowa last year. The Democrats use these third-party candidates very effectively as vote sinks. Now they're kind of trying to do the opposite. They're trying to use the independent third-party candidate as their Trojan horse. Obviously, The Odyssey is a big movie right now. And it did work. The Trojan Horse famously worked there. That's right. It's not a bad plan. Matt Foley, we got to leave it there. You're going to be indispensable. I have a hunch that between now an election day, you're pretty much going to be living out of your suitcase. You're going to be going to these states, going to these districts where the actual election is taking place. This is not a national election. It's 435 little elections. Although, honestly, Matt, it's really about 15 districts that's really going to ultimately decide who gets that gavel. And we're counting on you. Keep up the great work. I'm happy to do it. And for you, I'll wake up early, Larry. Thank you. This isn't early. This is not early, Matt Foley. Matt Foley, Washington, thank you so much. You know, life moves fast.

It's O'Connor and Company. Thanks for tuning in here to our Tuesday morning edition. Like, you know, everyone's talking about affordability. And we talk a lot about the whole burrito story. You heard Governor Scott Walker mention it in the last hour. The burrito was a metaphor. The burrito is a... an example of what college kids are facing right now. We're kids coming out of college, kids in their 20s, joining the workforce, trying to start a life, get married, raise kids, buy a house, and, well, burrito costs $20. And, of course, Obrita doesn't cost $20, but you get the point. Listen, the affordability crisis, as they like to call it, and a lot of that is linked to government policy that has increased inflation and made things way more expensive than they should be. That's something that needs to be tackled and dealt with and addressed. But there's a lot more to it. And we've got some data here from CNBC. that is really revealing with regard to what's really going on with young people when they leave school. Part of it is that they're all brainwashed into thinking that they have to go to a four-year college to get a degree, even though there's no real data with regard to a liberal arts degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree that suggests that there is a direct relation to, you know, it used to be. You remember the game of life where you spin the wheel and your little car goes and you take two directions. You go right into the workforce or you go to college. And usually if you go to college, yeah, you've got some debt. You have to pay off, but you'll get a higher paying job and then you'll end up winning the game of life. That ain't how it is anymore. And somewhere around the year 2000. Everybody was convinced that it was mandatory. Joining the workforce and not going to college was going to mean that you were going to be in the poor house or live in a trailer home or something. Not that there's anything wrong with living in a trailer home, by the way. We've had Mike Rowan to talk about the fact that actually getting... basic job skills so that you can actually work with your hands. You'd be a mechanic. You'd be an HVAC operator. You end up being an entrepreneur. You start a business. You're making a quarter million dollars by the time you're 30 in many cases. And you're your own man or woman. that's actually a really viable option. But we have brainwashed and we have been brainwashed into believing that all you've got to do is get that four-year college degree. In fact, parents start saving when the kid is born. You set up these state, you know, tax-free investment accounts specifically geared to your kid's college so your kid can get that four-year degree because then they're set for life, but they're not.

Why are these kids getting their degrees and they're in their mid-20s and they're not making enough money to pay off their bills and they're still living with their parents and they can't get married and buy a house? Well, a lot of it goes back to that moment when they were told, if you don't go to college, you'll be a loser. So here we go. 46% of high school graduates this year will go to a four-year college or university, according to a new report. And many of them are going to take out student loans. Those students who borrow will be borrowing an average of $43,000. $43,000 of debt baked into the cake the moment they walk off that stage with a diploma. They're already in the hole by $43,000. Tuition has increased 5.6% a year on average in the last decade. That outpaces inflation. It outpaces the cost of a burrito. It outpaces eggs, milk, all of it. Currently, about 43 million Americans are holding on to $1.7 trillion in federal student loans. More than a million high school graduates are going to take out new education debt in the months ahead. Let me just put that in perspective. 43 million Americans hold $1.7 trillion in student loan debt. Right now, credit card debt in America is only $1.25 trillion. In other words, there's more in student loan debt right now in this country than credit card debt. You don't think this is a problem? And according to a poll right now, most college students getting that four-year degree, they prefer socialism to capitalism. And part of it is no wonder, if you think about it, because they think capitalism isn't working for them. Because they're graduating with a four-year degree and they're graduating with $43,000 in debt. And they're doing the basic math with an entry-level job, which is maybe making them 60 grand, maybe a little bit more. And they're having trouble figuring out how those dollars work, how they'll ever get out from under that debt, let alone start a family. And by the way, one of the residual effects of that, a record number of young adults are now living with their parents, more than America has ever seen. A record number of young adults still live with their parents after leaving home to go get that college degree. This is a systemic problem that needs to be fixed, and it needs to be addressed, and it's a cultural problem. that everyone should participate in. But the fact of the matter is there's one party in this country who will continue down this path, who will continue claiming that the only life worth living is one with a college degree. The only debt worth taking on is student loan debt. And oh, by the way, the government will help you pay it off eventually if you vote for us. They have a vested interest in these college graduates being beholden to the government.

because they'll continue to vote for them and continue down the socialist path. That's a problem that the incentive structure has been set up for one political party to encourage young people to be set up for failure. And it's an opening. It's an opening for Republicans to actually tell a different story. Hey, I got to tell you how happy I am that I've switched to consumer cellular.
