Well, can I tell you a quick story about those dolphins that are in your commercial, the Navy dolphins? Okay. Well, when I was an environmental reporter, that was a top secret program. Like it's very difficult to get any info on them. But my husband was a Navy instructor. He was a special operations reconnaissance Navy trainer. And so one time he was out with these Navy SEALs.
They're doing their training. And they have the dolphins. And this one dolphin keeps coming up and signaling that there's somebody under there. There's something wrong. And they keep telling her to go back down and do her job. She's supposed to go get this fork. And she keeps coming up saying, there's a problem, there's a problem.
Everyone thinks she's nuts because they're in this highly secure part of the base, very close to the coast of California, Southern California. So finally, she comes up with a man in her mouth that she ripped off who was illegally poaching lobster from the floor of the ocean there and was like- That's hysterical. Yeah. Yeah, like shook him like, I tried to tell you there was somebody on it.
So my husband actually had to go to hyperbaric treatment with that guy because she had like ripped him up, you know, a hundred feet from the sea floor. Anyway, I just had to tell you that story since you- Oh, that is fantastic.
Oh, yeah. Right, yeah, that's why. So they had to rush him to the hospital very quickly. But I just thought it was hilarious. My husband always says it was the female dolphins that were the hardest to work with because they always had their personality of their own. The men kind of like the boys did what you told them to do. So they just thought she was being obstinate that day.
She wasn't paying attention and wasn't following the rules. And so she just like... See, I told you this guy was trying to give you a warning.
What happened? Yeah, you're like, now I see why she got fired.
What happened? All right. Well, I was a TV reporter for quite a long time, 12, 13 years. I started my TV career as a producer for Fox and Friends morning show on Fox News Channel. I left and got a master of divinity degree specializing in psychology and counseling, and then decided to get back into television as a reporter. I worked in several markets, eventually got to Seattle, Washington.
I took over the environmental beat there, covered the environment wildlife for about five years. It was an amazing job. I got to see goats fly through the air, hooked to helicopters, all kinds of crazy things that people do in the Seattle area for wildlife and the environment. But I decided to quit TV. We can talk about that if you'd like.
I took a job with the Department of Natural Resources for Washington State as a communication specialist, and I was shooting videos for them about wildfire and forest health. On the side, they knew that I had my independent journalism work on several platforms.
And when COVID hit, I started interviewing people who were censored or defamed, essentially, by my old industry of broadcast news or just generally the mainstream media, print journalism, too. I was fascinated by this trend to look at a doctor who had been in practice for, say, 20 or 30 years. And, like, overnight, they were just... a complete quack.
Like they were leading people to an early grave. They were defying all these scientific and medical norms. Like they were just totally crazy. And that didn't make rational sense to me that somebody who had saved many, many lives or decades was a leader in their field. One of them, Dr. David Brownstein, he's the guy who founded the Holistic Medicine Center in Detroit, Michigan.
He was one of the first doctors I ever interviewed. He was actually told by the FTC when he was putting up early treatments that for COVID. This was like at the very beginning when nobody knew what was going on, what was working, what they were doing. He thought it would help that people would like it if he saved people's lives and he posted how he did it on the internet, on his own website.
But no, apparently people didn't want to know. So the FTC came after him, told him that he had to shut it down. And I had him on my show. He was one of many, many doctors like that that I was profiling just so that people could get a different perspective on what they were seeing on, say, CNN, any number of these channels.
And when my bosses saw that, you mentioned Dr. Aaron Cariotti, he was the one who got flagged because apparently it was controversial to talk about natural immunity at the time. So YouTube took the video down. I went to Twitter and said, hey, I... I interviewed this doctor.
And if you think that there are doctors out there that aren't questioning mandates, that aren't questioning what's going on here, it's because you're not allowed to hear them. My bosses saw that and said, wait a second, you can't talk to people who are questioning mandates. We have a mandate. And I said, well, you're the government.
You can't tell me what I can do in my free time and who I can talk to in my free time. I'm allowed to talk to Dr. Cariotti. You know, what am I not allowed to go get coffee with him on the weekend and take a selfie and put it on my Instagram page? I mean, what are you saying here? And they're like, you can't, let these people talk about this stuff. It's undermining our policy.
So I told him I was not gonna do that. I had a First Amendment right to continue, and they fired me. And so now we're suing.
No, it's totally right. Jay Bhattacharya was on my show, actually. And I think one of the reasons that I was doing what I was doing was to just show that there were these very, like, I don't know, the best, it's like a normal person. You know, it's just normal people. They're not... I didn't find anything like extremist, even though now I kind of like wear that as a badge of honor.
He actually said that somebody, who was it? Dr. Collins told him, said he was a fringe epidemiologist or something like that in one of the emails that got released in the Twitter files.
