Around the world, Ontario and Canada are now seen as comically inept for new lockdowns that are both silly and Draconian, plus a botched vaccine strategy our leaders seem to hope citizens won’t notice. We unpack these topics with new data and the apocalyptic news reporting driven by celebrity doctors. Cancelled NYU Prof Mark Crispin Miller ties it all together.

Why is a successful COVID mitigation strategy being censored by YouTube and the Governor behind it, the focus of an obvious hit piece by 60 Minutes? Jeffrey Tucker, from the institute where the focused protection strategy was conceived, says the moves to silence suggest lockdown advocates are losing.

Concordia University Professor Gad Saad has made the telling of painful truths a radical act. It shouldn't be, but in this new world of safe spaces and hurt feelings, critical facts are rejected as too dangerous to even contemplate. In his popular book The Parasitic Mind Saad exposes how academic groupthink prioritizes feelings over rational thought and shows us the way out.

It’s time to ask if we’re past the point of no return in the battle for our old lives. Novelist Ann Bauer is a compelling anti-lockdown voice and she brings an artist’s eye to the ongoing tragedy caused by authoritarian reach.

What if the tests being used to detect COVID-19 are so flawed that false positives have seriously corrupted the case counts? Kevin McKernan believes this is exactly what's happened. An expert on sequencing, he was part of MIT's monumental Human Genome Project and he's been warning about the folly of PCR testing since the beginning of the pandemic. He warns that we need to reassess everything we are doing about COVID-19.

One year in, we examine how China played a massive role in manipulating the rest of the world into lockdowns.

From his home near the California Coast we explore Greta Thunberg’s campaign, Michael Moore’s controversial doc and the mysteries of self-starting Samsung flatscreens.

The podcast has learned that a peer-reviewed COVID drug review getting worldwide attention was pulled from publication — with no explanation given.

Jenin Younes, a brilliant NYC public defender inclined to classical liberalism, got red-pilled by COVID-19.

On @Leftylockdowns1 she drops wisdom and goes after illogical public health officials who make unscientific decisions that imperil us all. Trish also has a roundup of important news stories finally getting traction and brings more details to the sketchy MSM version of Jan. 6.

Dr. Fred Berlin of Johns Hopkins University has seen more depravity and human brokenness than just about any psychiatrist, living or dead. He evaluated serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer and Michael Ross and has spent his long, storied career figuring out what makes people do terrible things.

Former banker and now bitcoin expert Jesse Berger says it’s time to take back our currency from the Davos crowd and invest in bitcoin.

Lawyer and Human Rights Advocate Harvey Silverglate sees some current similarities and is worried about where America is headed.

A brave Canadian politician steps up to call out his boss, the Premier of Ontario, for continuing with an increasingly questionable lockdown policy only to be banned from caucus and barred from running again as a Conservative in the next election — an extreme response. Roman Baber is taking a lot of heat, but not backing down. He tells Trish he believes Premier Doug Ford has made a calculation that sticking with lockdowns is the right decision politically, even though an escalating debate suggests they may do more harm than good.

Few people are hearing the truth about what went down at the Capitol last week and we, too, are struggling to understand those events. A murky character has been charged by the F.B.I. and is emerging as an agent provocateur with all sides having a different take on who John Sullivan is. We have our own eyewitness, Journalist Jeremy Lee Quinn, who went into the building and live-streamed the events.

Events at the D.C. Capitol and the failure of rolling COVID lockdowns expose how our world experience is shaped by corrupted information from disparate interests.

Why are public health experts so casual about the suffering caused by their flawed policies? Painful truths today with A.J. Kay, a savvy COVID-19 journo exposing how it all went so wrong.
