Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
So uh, this Florida man. They got into a fight
at a school drop off. This was in Boca Raton.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
A dad. This is like the most privileged thing I've
ever heard of.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
A dad allegedly punched by a BMW driver at a
book of Raton school drop offline.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, guy, it got crazy.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
When I first saw the headline, I saw a headline
that said a parent had been punched, and I immediately
thought it was.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Women, because men.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I don't know if you all know what y'all's wives
get up to and the drop off line at school,
but some of all his wives need driving lessons and
attitude adjustments.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Oh my gosh, get your women in check.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
I have seen and I when I used to do
school drop off, Oh my gosh, I watched women honk
at each other as a Christian school, they honked each other.
They were not playing men. So I was actually surprised
that this was two dudes in full honesty. So this
was Monday morning that a father got punched by a
rate driver. Palm Beach Kinnie Sheriff had to respond. They

(01:17):
said that they responded to a report of battery at
waters Edge Elementary School and when deputies arrived, the victim
was dropping off his kid.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
A BMW cut in front of him.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
The victim honked his horn because I guess he was
getting ready to drive, and the guy cut in front
of him in an attempted to talk to the BMW
driver later identified as Kareem Mohammed. The victim pulled his
car alongside the BMW. He drove in front of it,
and then Muhammad got out of his vehicle and began
like throwing punches. Approached the victim's car and began throwing punches. Sorry,

(01:50):
service is not gaza. You needed to calm down, and
that's anyway he ended up getting arrested. He was totally arrested.
They had to track him down through his license plate.
This cool ross and guard had to take a photo
because the guy fled the scene. So now he's been
accused of burglary with asalt, battery and damaging property of.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Over two hundred bit under one thousand.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Like just chill, just chill in the carpool line, just
calm yourself.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
We could do a whole show on that.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Let's see the Florida man goes on a cashing out spree,
smashing and rating cash registers in a Walmart store and
what has been described as the worst robbery technique ever.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Broad Daylight.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's a viral clip that started on Reddit, and a
guy smashes all these cash registers to pieces and stealing
all the money inside of it and then leaving, he
stuffed money into the pocket, into all of his pockets
and he walked to another payment point, smashed it up
until it opened, took out the money, and he did
this on like a number of other drawers. I mean,

(02:53):
he was there for a long time doing this. I
just I'm not quite sure like how this is allowed
to go on that long without any kind of like
secure ccurity or anything.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
That was stunning to me.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
He had like no money, and he went from register
to register asking for change for a one hundred dollars
without presenting the money, and then he went wild when
they said, well, you need to give us the one
hundred dollars to make change, and then he went crazy.
He destroyed ten registers and took money out of ten registers.
Police finally arrived on the scene as he was leaving.

(03:23):
He tried to evade, but it was tased. That's like
for I mean, how long does that happen? It was
like a wild that's like a long video. It was
a very long time that was happening.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Tomorrow I'll tell you about the gator that has a
chair stuck on its head. It's our friends over at Celtech,
the Gen three Sub two K. If you don't have it,
you need it now. I'm gonna have to get this one.
This is one that I actually do not have, and
it's now it's ten millimeter. I was like, really wanted
to run to the mic the first chance. The first
time I heard of.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
This, I was like, oh, I want to go tell everybody.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
So it's the new third end Sub two K. This
is the rifle that folds like in half right innovation
with a twist that rotating foe end and you can.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
It deploys, zeroed and ready to go.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
It folds up optics in all you don't have to
take anything off, and it takes glockmag You have a
standard fifteen round clockmag which is awesome glock twenty. I
got a lot of capacity for whatever your shooting needs
are and folds down to just under seventeen inches for
easy storage and transport. Light and five pound trigger pool,
internal buffer for soft recoil, integrated mlock rails up top

(04:27):
four accessory attachments. This is ideal for legit everything, and
Celtech makes everything right here in the US of A.
You're talking about American labor, American parts, American manufacturing. We
need more American companies like Cltech, Celtech Weapons dot Com,
Innovation Performance, Celtech. It's the new sub two K Gen
three to ten millimeter. Learn more at kel tech Weapons
dot com, k e lt Ec Weapons dot com. Tell

(04:49):
them Dan, listen to.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Did you really not have any idea that he was
not fit to serve a second term?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Casey are looking forward. We have the largest medicaid cut
in front of us. We have the cult federal government.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Because you lost a presidential election. And is that not
Joe Biden's responsibility for deciding to run again. We're looking forward.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Wow, No, they don't. They don't want to answer questions.
I can't wait for the press to go apoplectic because
Democrats aren't nsed the press. People like don't try to
make your names now by pretending to be journalists. Had
you missed that boat, that boat sailed, it's gone. It's
not in the harbor anymore. It's away from the docks.
There's no there's no reclaiming it. The idea that people

(05:43):
didn't know is one of the dumbest things ever. I
guess they think everyone's stupid enough to believe it. It
is amazing to me. It's actually actually a medical marvel. Really,
how many people suddenly realized that Joe Biden had issues?
They took a new medicine. I don't know if you've
heard about it. It's called getting a book deal. And

(06:04):
like Jake Tapper is taking getting a book deal, and
a lot of these people that were in the Biden administration,
they all took got a book deal.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
And I find out if got a book deal is
right for me, ask.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Your doctor if got a book deal is right for you.
That's welcome back to the show, Dana lash Top of
the second hour. Listen across the country. That the stream
is the three channel three forty seven direg TV. The
chats at Rumble though, all that good stuff. Yeah, it's
called got a book deal. It's an amazing, like modern

(06:37):
marvel of medicine, wherein you're able to see that someone
is barely like functioning, like barely cognitively there. It's wild
like they didn't know before, apparently no one else knew.
I love how the press was like, you need us
to tell you these things. I saw him fall up
the stairs. I saw him forget where he was and
not be able to speak, and have somebody in an

(06:58):
easter bunny costume redirect him back to the White House lawn.
Saw these things. The press did too, and then they
said it was cheap fakes when we would post the
video of it. All those are cheap fakes. They're very
expensive real video.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Sir, thank you. It's not a cheap fake. It's very
expensive real video.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
But they were insistent that, oh no, you are all wrong,
You're all so wrong.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
And I don't know, they were all part of the problem.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Audio somebody to eleven so Jake Tappers, you know he's
not just he's probably not a client. I got a
book deal. He's the president the company. Just this is
what I'm talking about. Here's a little montage. Just take
a little look, Sie.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
feel when they see you make a comment like that.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
It's very clearly a cognitive decline.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
You A.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Think it's so amazing.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
It's so amazing to me that trying to figure out
an answer a cognitive decline to Biden embraces his stutter
talking about it, while Trump mocks it, exaggerates it, belittles it.
He's sharp physically, I mean mentally, yeah, I think the
question is physically right right or so right right? And
the guy who's his chief opponent is only three or
four years younger than him, maybe, I mean, you have
questioned President Biden's age, mental fitness, ability to lead. Of

(08:23):
those supporting Biden, you said, quote, shame on all of
you pretending everything is okay. You're leading us and him
into a disaster. Do you worry that you damaged him
at all? I don't doubt that you got hugs and
handshakes behind closed doors today and maybe even publicly, some
of them because they like you personally. But I've heard
a lot of really nasty stuff about you from your

(08:43):
Democratic College.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
I mean, just like we have like two minutest little
kids with stutters? How dare you point out that the
president literally has no idea where he is. How do
you think little kids with stutters feel about that?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
What?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yes, little kids with utters? How dare you bring up
the question of the Koch in the White House with
baby infant Hunter Biden? What about all those children with
scoliosis out there? How do you think they feel about that?
What does that have to do?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Shut up?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
What do you hate stuttering children with scoliosis? I mean
it just like just keep checking them boxes, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 4 (09:22):
And then.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Oh, I know, I like here, La Steve has this
flashback from NBC. Republicans float a quiet conspiracy theory. Okay,
full stop, It wasn't quiet. They float a quiet conspiracy
theory that Biden won't be on the ballot, and they
talk about his health and his cognitive ability. Oh my gosh,
they just I tell you what, Oh my gosh, this stutter,

(09:47):
Poor Joe Biden's stutter, Poor America. Like no, come on,
but now, oh man, audio some by twelve.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Now it's all different. What cheap fakes? Do you mean?
Cheap fakes? Listen to this? Now?

Speaker 5 (10:02):
Who well Obama's side of that story is he wasn't
sure what was going on, but he just wanted to
get out of there and he wasn't going to get
out of there without Biden, so he grabbed him.

Speaker 6 (10:14):
And it was more just his impatience than anything else.
But other people who were there.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
See this is the starts to come around. Well, you know,
he really wanted to get off the stage. He probably
had to pierce something. I don't know, but it look
I mean clearly he was very nervous and about getting
off the stage, and he didn't want to leave without
his best friend Joe Biden, because you know they go
everywhere together, right right, right right, they go everywhere together,

(10:39):
I mean the lies and now they got books on it.
Now they have books on it. It is amazing. Audio sounbody, Uh,
fifteen do we play? We haven't played fifteen yet? Or
was that the one we played? This is this a
different MSNBC one? I okay, yeah, this is They all
are stunned. I mean, these reporters, everybody, they're stunned.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
What watch and was up?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
You said?

Speaker 3 (11:04):
In June of last year, in my meeting for President Biden,
I found the command and the president building influence to
make brothers.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
On key priorities.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
But in that same month, violent here would be not
even recognized.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
George could in a fund raiser?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Were you a straight the American popero?

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Look, we're just looking forward.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
We're just looking forward.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Well, what about how you guys all lied and you
hid the fact that Biden was in a severe cognitive decline.
We're looking forward? No, no, no, we need to ask
this question about this. It's all about looking forward, looking forward.
Would you hide another decline in cognitive ability for a
president of your party?

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Sir?

Speaker 2 (11:47):
That's the question I would have asked.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'd have been like, well, okay, all right, Senator Schumer,
looking forward, would you totally lie your beans off about
you know, the cognitive decline of the president of your party?

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Would you lie again and hide that from the American people?

Speaker 5 (12:03):
You know?

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Looking forward?

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Nobody asked that question because the press is still kind
of scared of Democrats. This is why I don't like
anybody getting cozy with the government. And this includes and
this includes Republicans Democrat press. They follow over themselves to
ingratiate themselves with the Democrat party. You've seen it right
to the point where they won't even I mean, the
guy fell up the stairs, and you know, forgot that

(12:29):
he tried to find a guy who was dead in
the audience at one point. I mean, there's no shortage
of stories. You guys were there and they pretended that,
Oh no.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Nothing to see here.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Totally normal, totally normal things happening here with Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Totally normal.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
It's asinine. It's like, yeah, like Kane says, like, you
get pulled over for speeding. No, no, no, I'm looking forward.
You just keep looking backwards. Can you use that excuse
for anything? Really, though, No, I'm looking forward.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Really absolves you from any accountability.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Why did you club that baby seal to death? Sir, Well,
we're looking forward now.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah. Stop living in the past and being negative and divisive.
But my whole point is that these the Democrat press,
they're they're terrified of burning that access to power. So
that's why they covered and look the other way. Wait,
they're pretending that they don't know. Okay, we will too.
They had no idea they had They want you to

(13:27):
believe they had no idea. I don't want the right
to be like that and be so ingratiated with the government.
You know, I had somebody bragging to me one time
that they went to a cocktail party with some government thing,
and I'm like, you're bragging about hanging out with the government,
Like back in the days of our founders, we'd probably
burn you at the stake. That's like worse than being
a witch, Like what you what are you talking about here?

(13:49):
But they I they're never going to recover any esteem,
not that they had a lot anyway, but they're never
going to recover any respect that the American people would
have for them.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Not after this.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
There's not not at all, not after this, not after this.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
He I don't know.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
I had somebody remark Taparas like he bought a ticket
to the concert when he was actually a member of
the band. That's exactly it. That's a great way to
put it. That's an absolutely great way to put it. Goodness, yes,
when did you what did you know?

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (14:21):
And then Chuck Todd on Schumer, he's remember he was
also part of this. And now they're trying to really
ratchet up. They're angst because they think if they act
outraged and if they pretend that you don't know where
they were these past four years, that you're they're going
to be able to redeem themselves themselves and still be relevant.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
This is audio somebody sixteen's.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Chuck Todd go.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
He is among the people that are responsible for this,
the leaders of the Democratic Party, the staff of the
White House. And I say, I find everybody his.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Hair I am not. I know I was going to
talk about his sponse. But what in the world is
happening with that hairline? This is very important news. What
is happening here?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
We just comb it forward now like that.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Maybe it is a flowbie.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
You know, the only people who have haircuts like that
are the British kids in the projects, right, That's.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Know what I mean, mate, it's.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
That that hair it's that haircut. Anyway, I had to say,
it's somebody hunting the uh. He's pretending that he's so upset,
like he's part of the problem. You were all there,
You were were all there. It's like now they're trying
to throw on red hats and be.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Like, no, wait, we were here the whole time. No
you weren't.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
You guys were calling us names and saying that we
were conspiracy theorists and the whole nine yards. You guys
did all of that. What are you talking about? What
are you talking about No. They were there. They were there,
they were involved in all of it. So I don't know.
I don't think that they're gonna no. This is audio.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Somebody ten Kevin O'Leary hit it. I thought, this is
a great statement. Listen, bit of health. It's that simple.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
If you seek the supreme office, the leader of the
free world, you give up the right for privacy with
your doctor on a cognitive health test. This poor man
was broken, and look at look what happened to the country,
and look at how he's being beaten up. It's almost
a moral what we're doing to now to sell books.
I was there at the White House dinner watching this.

(16:37):
The same reporters who didn't report on him are profiting
from his decline. It's outrageous what they're doing which dinner.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Well, of course they are, because information is a product.
How it's delivered is another product. And that's one of
the things that I help everybody realize is there is
no pure news anymore. There hasn't really ever been, especially
if you understand the the origin of the press in
our country, There's never been pure press, and there's never

(17:08):
been a more odious attempt to I think make money
off of news gathering than right now. It's It's always
been a propaganda battle always ever, but now it's I mean,
they're wanting to merch it out in a million different ways.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
We're going to cover for it and make money.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Then we're going to act surprised and make money, and
then we're going to write books about it and act
like we uncovered and got.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
The scoop of all the people who knew.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
The I don't believe in in regular I don't believe
in like that that journalism. There's such a thing as
the pure practice of it. I think there are some
people that are that prioritize news gathering and giving information
to the people more than and they like to worship
at the altar of their vanity. But there's never been

(18:06):
just like pure news gathering. There never will be.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
That.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
That has been a lie that has been perpetuated for
years in this country as a way to sort of
sanctify the press. And the reality is is that there
in some instances, like prostitutions, sometimes is a more really
more honest trade. At this point, our partners all Family Pharmacy.

It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Really don't think there's anything better than a Simple Minds
bumper track of New Gold Dream.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Really don't think so. All right, So the uh.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Ooh Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. Everybody's very excited about this.
I'm actually going to I rarely go to the theaters anymore,
but I am going to go see this. The first
one was phenomenal, well, the last one that they did
the storyline AI or if it was phenomenal, but he
apparently hangs from a helicopter in one of the stunts

(19:54):
like they I watch some video online. I dude, that's
just absolutely insane.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
So this is the eighth film.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
It's called The Final Reckoning, and they're really Paramount, which
I think owns the game right now.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
They're really right.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
They got a lot writing on this, so they said
that it's been about four hundred million dollars and they've
had production delays, mostly do the twenty three strikes. It's
going to be one of the most expensive films ever made.
The first the seventh one was phenomenal, so I think
this will be really good too. We'll see so data,
so it's not just a feeling. Data is showing that

(20:28):
also boys and young men per the New York Times,
are falling behind educational achievement, mental health transitions to adulthood
indicate that many are not thriving. Well, that's just what
feminists wanted, wasn't It Wasn't that what third and fourth
wave feminist wanted. They didn't want equality. They wanted to
destroy men so they could give themselves something to bitch
about later, so that they could always play weak, ineffectual victims.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
That's all they ever wanted to be.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
It's sad because they said, now there's enough data to
show that. I mean, everything from school to even perceptions
in society, like toxic masculinity, everything is designed to basically be.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Abusive to boys.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Education, hiring, you have, like now women are outpacing men
in top positions in major cities. Of recent male high
school graduates, fifty seven percenter enrolled in college, barely up
from fifty four, but now it's sixty six with women,
which has doubled in recent years. I mean, that's just
the way it is. Mental health harder for boys than

(21:28):
it is for girls lately. So this is a real thing,
and I think people need to get a handle on it. Also,
your brain is shrinking, even if you exercise regularly. If
you sit too much, interesting, so get up if you
don't want to be stupid.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Maybe that's kind of what it is.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us,
welcome back to the program, Dana lash with you. We're
at the bottom of this third hour. You can listen
coast to coast the stream channel three forty seven, the
chat at Rumble and again, we are not responsible for
those people. We don't those people are make a man's
to say. If you are a subscriber, over at chapter
and verse over at substack. There was a really good

(22:05):
piece and I heard from a lot of folks on this,
including some of my very good friends who either have
like spouses that are on the spectrum or they have
children that are on the spectrum.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Because this is it's a weird thing.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
They're very excited to see America incorporate some healthy standards.
But at the same time, some of the discussion on
some of the issues is not good. And this all
stems from let me go back to this April twenty
first Health and Human Services announcement. So they said under
the NIH.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Director doctor j.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Batachara, that they were going to create a new in
the phrase was a new disease registry focused on autism,
and a lot of people were up in arms understandably
about this, because first off, why are we making a
list number one?

Speaker 2 (22:54):
What is? I don't understand what the obsession is with registries.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
But also when you're describing a particular issue, it's like
you can't use a blanket term to describe it while
you're also simultaneously stating that you want to help alleviate it.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
It just that doesn't help.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
So there's a really good piece from our contributor, and
you know her, she moderates the chat as well, Lorraine
Uiar who I'm not rolling my rs, She said, I
didn't have to that. It's called RFK Junior's Troublesome Autism Registry,
And if you haven't read it yet, it is a
must read deep dive on this issue and not just

(23:35):
her experiences as well, but also why it's a problem
that NIH is looking to deal with this issue nationally
in this way. Lorrain Urr joins us now via video. Lorraine,
good to see you. This was a great piece. There
was a lot of really good feedback on this.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Give me your first thought.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
When you when you first heard this, like disease registry.
I mean, I have family and friends that either have
kids with autism or themselves they have autism, And from
my experience, that's how none of them have ever described
this issue. What did you first think of when you
heard that?

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah, the biggest problem to me is how RK just
talks about autism and period. He seems to have I
don't know, the worst stereotype to apply to way too
many people. He keeps quoting that like twenty six percent number,
which he gets from the CDC study. But the CDC

(24:35):
study put everybody labeled level three autism into that twenty
sixth number, And like, I have a child who's considered
a level three autism, and she's used to be considered
high functioning autistic, so she doesn't fit that profile that
he's talking about at all. I've said before too, if

(25:00):
if you meet one person with autism, you meet one
person with autism. So I know that our my family's
experience with autism because I have autism, I have my
oldest has autistic, is autistic, and my my my middle
child is also autistic. We're all on the higher end

(25:20):
of the spectrum. I can completely understand why people who
are on the lower end of the spectrum are all
very very much want something done. I can understand that
because I mean, there's there's there's so much out there,
and it's hard to watch your kid be that way

(25:43):
and not be able to do much. But the way
that RF case talking about everything, I don't think he's
actually looking for what people think he is. I think
he's looking for I think he's already got an answer
in mind, and he's looking for data that will support that.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Because he uses the phrase and you you touched on
this as well, on the phrase profound autism. It's a
new term that you wrote, was coined in twenty twenty two,
and you write that's meant to refer to people who
need twenty four to seven care who can't live on
their own, And you talked about these This is where
you said the stereotypes that he's referring to belong. But

(26:23):
you also say, a, well, the CDC seems to classify
everyone on level three as such, and then.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
There's even more problems.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Yeah, well, level three it's like you're non verbal or
barely verbal, like I mean, in my case, my daughter
can talk, but she doesn't talk to people she doesn't
know it shouldn't talk often, So she got classified as
level three. But she's nowhere near anything like what he

(26:55):
describes as you know, this profound autism. Profound autism is
meant to basically for the kids that are like the
or the people that are the IQ is under fifty.
And that's what profound is supposed to mean. And the
whole reason for this whole this term profound is because

(27:18):
the DSM five kind of screwed us all up and
dumped us all into one big pile and then tried
to sort it out with these levels and they don't
really do much.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, and that's a problem. We're talking with Lorraino R.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
If you're listening moderator over at the chat at Rumble
and a contributor at chapter and verse as well, you
really dove deep into this because you noted too the
study that he cites. You know, the number of these
diagnoses have they increased over the years, But that profound
again going back to that newly coined phrase, that's actually
stayed relatively steady. But they his claim is that it's

(27:50):
a growing epidemic.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
How do you take that?

Speaker 4 (27:56):
I look at the data, and he likes to say, oh, well,
it can't possibly be because of better diagnostics. But and
in fact, in that article I have, there's a chart
from California that shows how it's increasing, and I plotted
on that chart where the DSM five diagnostics changed for

(28:16):
autism and where federal money got involved for the school systems,
because prior to nineteen seventy five, school systems did not
take special needs kids. Yeah, it was very rare for
a school to take a special needs kit. And once
nineteen seventy five, the first Education for Disabilities after or

(28:39):
whatever I forget what's I forget exactly what it's called,
was passed, the federal government started funding this stuff and
that's when school systems start looking for it. And a
lot of kids with autism these days are diagnosed in
the school system. And so you know, between that and

(28:59):
the No Child Left Behind, which under No Child left
Behind anybody that was a special need you still had
to get standardized testing, but you had a modified test
and your score counted differently. And so because of that,

(29:20):
it kind of gave the school system an incentive, a
financial incentive, and to start labeling as many as they could.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Wow, that is I mean, that explains a lot, quite
a lot, and you get into that with this piece
over a chapter and versus at substack. For those of
you who are turning in are just tuning in, there's
also the issue you touch on because this I think
that doctor A. Botachar and RFK Junior it seems like
they're kind of walking back this registry because the first

(29:50):
thing I thought of when I saw that when I
and of course you touched on this in your piece,
but the thing that popped in my head was, Okay, well,
what about like privacy like HIPPA and and patient privacy,
Like how does that factor into like creating a registry?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
What would that solve?

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Well, the problem isn't so much the registry. They do
have disease registries for other issues that they follow, and
that's not necessarily the problem. The problem is, and I
can see the good and bad to this, but doctor
Batochata wants the He wants to create a real world
platform where he wants the NIH to become a one

(30:29):
stop shop for all of the health data that researchers
might need, and he also wants it to be able
to track patients in real time. And he says that
inside this real world platform, the personal identifying information would
be stripped out so that researchers can't find it. But

(30:51):
it's going to be in there because they're going to
be getting data not just from Medicare and Medicaid, They're
going to be getting data from a VA, trycare, private
healthcare industries, you're smart watch wow. They plan to get
data from They plan to get data from everywhere, and
they want to be able to connect you, that patient,

(31:14):
across all of those different sources so that your information
is all tied together, which means that whatever way they
do that has to be inside the platform where when
they get my stuff from my private doctor versus my
Tricare doctor, they can link my name together and then
put that same anonymizing ID onto that documentation. So that's

(31:39):
a problem because the federal government's been hacked like a lot,
like twelve hundred times in the last seven years. So yeah,
it's crazy. So I don't trust for one bit that
they wouldn't get hacked. And on top of that, he
says he seems to think this is going to help
by saying that, oh, we're not going to let anybody

(31:59):
download your information. They have to access it from here.
So that means that whenever they want to work with data,
they have to be online, which means the database has
to be online twenty four to seven. Do we really
think that's not going to get hacked? Like that's going
to be yeah, problem wow. And the thing is people

(32:20):
need to realize this doesn't just apply to autism. He's
planning to extend this to every chronic disease that they're
doing research on. So diabetes is going to be in there, arthritis, anything,
anything that they do research on, any chronic disease. He
wants every all the data for it to be in

(32:40):
this platform.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
And that worries me because we've said, as you noted,
I'm still trying to process twelve hundred times in seven years.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
That is insane.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
I think of the Social Security information that was hacked
and leaked, IRS information that gets hacked and leaked.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Who's to say.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
That, I mean, depending on who we have in the
White House in twenty twenty. I mean, we saw during
COVID things be leaked and be weaponized and used against people.
Who's to assure us what's the guarantee that this wouldn't
be the same.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
I mean, I don't see any exactly.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
There's he's like, oh, well, we're gonna have state of
the art protections. Sure, sure, And I'm sure they had
state of the art protections on our social security data
that got acted. Yeah, so you know, I don't really
trust it. I don't trust that it won't get hacked.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Don't you understand the benefit for what he's trying to do,
because like one of the things he said is that
with data in so many different sources, the NIH then
has to buy access to that data, and then they
wind up just so they'll buy from company A, and
then they'll buy from company B, and when they get
the data from both companies, they wind up finding out
it's exact same data. So they paid twice for the

(33:46):
same data. And so I understand that, I get what
he wants to do, and I understand it, but at
the same time, it's a bit concerning. It's kind of
like how the NR right now or not the NII,
the two way the National Gun Registry stuff, How the
federal government can't have an actual gun registry but technically

(34:10):
there is one because all the f fas have to
keep all that documentation and then once they shut down
those they shut down the little small gun shops. All
that data gets sent to the federal government where they're
digitizing it because hey, it needs to be searchable. So
what we have there is just a it's non centralized,

(34:31):
but it's still a gun registry. It's just not centralized. Well,
what we have now is still like a database for health.
It's just not centralized, which helps to prevent so much
of it from getting hacked. But they want to just
centralize everything into one place.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
That's terrifying, terrifying realization. One last quick question too. It
feels like their heart is in the right place when
they talk about how to best assist people autism community.
But I feel like this it seems like it's a
very universal, almost kind of one size fits all, or
they're trying to figure out how to kind of distill

(35:09):
it down to make it like the easiest and most
kind of universal application, And I feel like, out of
every thing that's out there, this is like so individualized
that you just can't approach it that way.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yeah, it's difficult because, like I said, the frustrating thing
with RFK is he keeps saying genetics is a dead end.
Genetics is a dead end, but we already know there's
so much evidence out there that genes play a really
key role in everything they have found. They found one

(35:42):
genetic mutation that is the difference between how autism presents
in men and women. They have found hundreds of potential
mutations that might be affecting how autism works. They found
at least seven genetic mutations that appear in like families
that have hereditary autism, like my family does. So genetics

(36:07):
is definitely key factor here. There is a possibility that
environment could play a role, but we also know that
your environment can affect your genetics, and so there's studies
that can be done. Like the whole vaccine thing. Everybody
likes to quote Andrew Wakefield, and his study was so

(36:29):
bad and so debunked, and I wrote about that in
the first piece I did on this. But we don't
have any studies that show what vaccines might do to
our genetics. We don't have any vaccines that show what
vaccines might affect on our genetics over time throughout generations.
And that's something that could be studied, but we're not

(36:50):
going to get that out of this crew. They are
so insistent he has actually legitimately says that he knows
that it is an environmental.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Top can't off half of it. He knows it's.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Something environmental because like he's compared autism to smoking cigarettes.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Yeah, that's yeah. You can't you can't do that.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
You can't trust anything that comes out of this because,
like I said, it seems like they already have decided
on what the answers are.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
They find the data to fit right.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
The piece is RFK Junior's Troublesome Autism Registry. It's a
very good thorough read on this issue and you should
definitely read it from Lorraine your You are always a pleasure, Lorraine.
This is a great piece. You do great work. Go
and read her over at Substack, chapter and verse. Find
her in the chat. You can see the chat folks
in the back over at Rumble on the Daily. Lorrain,
always a pleasure, my friend. We'll talk with you again soon,

(37:44):
all right, see you see yea god bless.
