Yeah, I know. We had to clean up the party real fast.
That was the excuse we told you guys.
Yeah, yeah, I'll just say that. You know, I was a journalist embedded in covering extremism, both on the left and the right, during the year of love and of peace, 2020. And unfortunately... Filmed quite a few people get murdered, including the people who got murdered from Kyle Rittenhouse. Or as you know, in self-defense, as it was a verdict.
And also ended up at the Capitol on January 6th inside of Nancy Pelosi's office. Not legally, but luckily for me, Trump won. So my investigation officially got closed. I had a press credential, right, with the Sergeant of Arms there. So I wasn't technically breaking laws. But I'm just grateful to be alive and well and glad that we all know the truth. I'm just kidding. We don't know the truth.
Yeah, I had to leave. Yeah, yeah. I had some curious things going on. So I left to Australia. And then they had more precarious things going on. And now they have their new hate speech laws. So my podcast is illegal there. So I had to move back.
No, no, no, I didn't, but you mentioned it, yeah.
Yeah, they care. I mean, if you put a meme up, this is real stuff. You know, people always talk about, oh, you know, if I was alive when Hitler was out, I would have, you know, hid the Jews. I would have stood up. That's right. But then things happen today. You see people getting jailed for just a picture, and it's like, well, you're not even standing up for a lesser crime.
Why would I think you would stand up to something greater?
I think so, too.
Well, unfortunately today, though, I think these prison guards would be a little more out of shape than the ones back then. You know, I see a lot of times- They wouldn't be dressed as sharp. Well, yeah, you always see the most unhealthy people, right? It's like, hey, you know, I'll wear a mask if you drop 80 pounds. That's how I feel like we can make an agreement. So-
I'm just saying. And that was being nice. I could have said 100, which would have been more honest.
Unfortunately, yeah, because my background is genetic engineering and I used to co-publish on on studies back in the day from the NIH. Not like you, not not some I claim to be some, you know, extreme expert on any topic. But if you were a genetic engineer, you were an expert in genetics. Well, I wouldn't be a genetic because I was still working on my grad school. I dropped out.
So but I will say this. I did know that there were many times where I was told in my abstract that I had to make claims that I knew probably weren't true in order to guarantee the funding due to the agenda of whatever department was giving out the grant.
And I remember always being uncomfortable, you know, having to tie certain things in the study to other things and sometimes saying, hey, maybe we'll leave that that, you know, inference out even a bit. But the inference is based off of, you know. It's something that we can prove in a bit. Yeah, but that PI doesn't like this.
So he might not, you know, further your, he might not give you more of the grant. So from the PI up to NIH, this was before COVID, you know, even I saw the corruption there. And I mean, the journals, we all know, like it's a peer review, but it's sort of like the studios deciding what movies get into theaters, you know? So it's the same thing.
Well, he sounds... Look, I agree with that. I think everybody knows the biggest thing was during medications, like with ivermectin, that is a very common medication. And at a certain point, that could get you kicked off of YouTube, off the internet. Oh, we got there. Yeah, talking about that. And you go... You know, it's so strange to me.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like, it's like, you know, you would see, I think when I first saw like Dr. McCullough, you know, it was like a highly published cardiologist, maybe one of the utmost respected experts in his field, having papers not published by critical journals because he was disagreeing with the science. And I go, okay, this isn't a marriage.
You know, it's not like one person gets to pretend to be right. There's either truth or there's not.
Yeah, well, what we work with in the actual physical sciences is we say, okay, this is more of an approach or a method. Physical, biological.
Correct, is that we are going to take something, variables, we will manipulate them, we will record the data after observing it, and then we will make inferences, which some people say is not part of the method, and then if it can be duplicated or repeated, then over time we could change it from just being a hypothesis to perhaps a theory. A theory.
