- 0:27Well, hello everyone, and welcome to the 10 Penny Files.
- 0:29I'm your host, Dr.
- 0:30Sherry Tenpenny.
- 0:31The 10 Penny Files we dive into vital and often controversial discussions on topics that will challenge what you've been told and reveal what's being hidden.
- 0:40Join me Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.
- 0:42Eastern to hear from authors, documentary filmmakers that have something important to say and have often been silenced.
- 0:48Now, today's conversation is with Twila Brays, president and co-founder of Citizens Council for Health Freedom, a patient-centered policy organization established in Minnesota more than 20 years ago to protect patient and doctor freedom.
- 1:02Twila is a regular monthly guest on this show on the 10 Penny Files.
- 1:06She's been with me for several years now, uh, bringing us updates on topics such as the real ID, Medicare Advantage, and other critically important health care issues in the news.
- 1:17And boy, do we have a lot of them to talk about today?
- 1:20So Twila, welcome back to the 10 Penny Files.
- 1:22We were talking before we went live here, like, where did the month of March go?
- 1:27And suddenly it's almost the month of April's over.
- 1:29So somehow we missed each other last month.
- 1:31So I'm so grateful that you're here now.
- 1:34Well, I'm glad to be here, and I'm grateful that spring is like spring.
- 1:39Springing.
- 1:41Springing, you know.
- 1:43For sure.
- 1:44You know, so much is happening in healthcare on an almost on a daily basis.
- 1:48Um, you know, so there's so we have a whole lot of things to cover and talk about today that you that your staff sent me.
- 1:55You know, something that's becoming more widely known to the general public is the new NIH program to do full genomic testing on newborns.
- 2:04I had uh Leia Wilson on a couple of months ago, and we talked about how this was scheduled for Florida.
- 2:10Uh Leah Wilson is from Stanford Health Freedom to show that this was going to this program was going to start, but it sounds like from what you said, like it's really starting to roll out that you just had a recent meeting.
- 2:22Tell us what Beacons NBS is all about and why it's so horrifying.
- 2:29So beacons, according to them, stands for building evidence and collaboration for genomics in nationwide newborn screening.
- 2:40Oh my gosh.
- 2:42Just that's enough, just enough to make your heart stop.
- 2:44Yep.
- 2:46So there are seven states.
- 2:47So you talked about Florida and Florida has a bill.
- 2:51I think it's called like the sunshine or newborn screening, sunshine.
- 2:55There's some something like that.
- 2:56And um, so they're going to um trial genomic screening on newborns in Florida.
- 3:05Uh, but separate from that is the beacons NBS program, and MBS is newborn screening.
- 3:12So uh they just picked in January the seven states that they're going to do this in, and they are Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, North Carolina, Texas, and then plus Puerto Rico.
- 3:25So actually, six states and Puerto Rico.
- 3:28And their whole plan here is to uh test the feasibility of sequencing newborns at birth.
- 3:36Now, that term sequencing isn't always familiar to listeners.
- 3:42So, sequencing what it really means is going into the DNA and laying out the entire blueprint uh genetic blueprint of the child.
- 3:52And what people and they the whole idea here is to add genomic sequencing to the current state newborn screening program.
- 4:01Now, a lot of people when they hear newborn screening, they don't recognize that what they're really talking about here is newborn genetic testing done by the state.
- 4:10It's considered the nation's largest population-wide genetic testing program.
- 4:16Many parents don't even understand that it was done to their child in the fog and the uh fatigue and excitement of the birth of their new baby.
- 4:25And then either somebody will come into their room or somebody will take the baby out of their room and prick the baby's heel and let drops of blood fall onto a card with special pay filter paper on it.
- 4:38There used to be only one spot of filter paper, and today there's up to six spots of filter paper because they're doing more things with the newborn's uh blood.
- 4:50And they do consider these uh spots with dry on the filter paper, right?
- 4:56They call them dried blood spots, but they're really the DNA of the child.
- 5:01And so this program beacons NBS.
- 5:04The whole plan here is to see whether or not they can attach or add to this state government screening program whether they can add newborn sequencing.
- 5:17So taking the the DNA of the child and sequencing the entire thing to get the entire genetic blueprint of the child.
- 5:26Now, there's a caveat to that.
- 5:29Uh, in I went to this conference, as as you said, it was about a half-a-day conference where the uh the beacons people were there, state uh researchers were there, and some parents were there.
- 5:40And so there are interesting things that were being said, and then I asked a lot of questions as well.
- 5:46But the interesting thing about the sequencing is that they want to test newborns for 77 conditions, pure conditions that can occur before the child turns one year old.
- 6:01Now, today in newborn genetic testing, newborn screening, they are testing children for somewhere between 30 and 80 conditions, depending on the state.
- 6:15Um, but sequencing, they would add 77 conditions, and like I said, many of them obscure.
- 6:24Okay, well, there's so many more conditions that you could test for if you were to show the full sequence of the DNA.
- 6:34So this is what I learned there is that they're going to fully sequence the DNA, fully.
- 6:40So for every possible condition that would be possible, then they're going to blind themselves to all the findings and the conditions in the rest of the DNA that do not pertain to those 777 conditions.
- 6:56So in essence, the baby will be fully sequenced, not partially sequenced, not sequenced only for 777 conditions, but for things like even if they have some kind of gene for Alzheimer's later in their life or cancer or the Breca gene or whatever.
- 7:00Partially sequenced, not sequenced only for 777 conditions, but for things like even if they have some kind of gene for Alzheimer's later in their life or cancer or the BRECA gene or whatever.
- 7:14Right.
- 7:14Right.
- 7:14And they're and I asked, I said, so well, then what's the expectation with the rest of it?
- 7:14And they're and I asked, I said, so, well, then what's the expectation with the rest of it?
- 7:20And they said, well, they they're hoping that the parents will give it to research.
- 7:20And they said, well, they they're hoping that the parents will give it to research.
- 7:24So here you have the state government sequencing the children, keeping a part of it, shielding themselves.
- 7:24So here you have the state government sequencing the children, keeping a part of it, shielding themselves to the rest, and hoping that the rest of the sequence will be given to research.
- 7:36Now, the important thing to understand about this is that they do understand, and they they told me there that it's because of our organization's work that consent is a requirement for this entire thing.
- 7:47Um, and so it was somebody from the University of Minnesota who said, you know, it's because of all of your work on this that we, you know, we have to have consent, and it's just been instrumental to where we go.
- 7:59Well, for some people, it's been an uh impediment to where they'd like to go, right?
- 8:05But consent is really important.
- 8:06Now, the real question is what kind of consent is that and when is that consent requested?
- 8:12Is it in the fog and the fatigue immediately after labor and delivery or within those first two days?
- 8:19Is it a month before the baby's born?
- 8:22Is it a month after the baby's born?
- 8:26So remember, they collect it on these cards, they keep the cards.
- 8:30Now, different states keep it for different lengths of time.
- 8:33So one of the states I mentioned is Minnesota.
- 8:36So Minnesota is keeping the cards indefinitely forever.
- 8:40And um, um, and so even if they wait for a month, so when the parents can actually think very carefully about this, do they want to take away the genetic privacy of their child before their child can even say no?
- 8:52Or do they not?
- 8:54Um, you know, you really want parents to think very carefully about this.
- 8:59And so we don't know when they would ask the parents for this.
- 9:04We don't know what the parents would be told.
- 9:06And so I think there's more to come.
- 9:08But for everybody who's listening to this program, particularly in those states, you should be aware of it, and as well in Florida, because Florida did pass an act allowing the genetic sequencing of newborns.
- 9:22You know, this is so frightening because then is it predictive genomics?
- 9:29And if it's predictive, does that mean oh, you you're pretty you've got a gene that says that you're going to get heart disease?
- 9:35And so from an early age, your risk profile on your health insurance goes up, or for the same thing for cancer or Alzheimer's, or for something really unusual, like say Huntington's Korea that doesn't show up until you're like in your 50s, but is a pretty debilitating disease.
- 9:53Then do they want to do that really tedious, expensive gene therapy operation?
- 9:58And so some of these gene therapy drugs are 300,000 or more a dose.
- 10:04And does it predict what your child is going to do?
- 10:07And what about epigenetics?
- 10:09You know, we we have all these genes, but you they turn on and off based on all the vaccines that they're given, the foods that they're eating, all the aluminum in their body, all the bad stuff from food additives and all that, so that whatever they get at birth may change within two months if they then get seven vaccinations, and then when they get to be seven and they start eating different.
- 10:35What in the world are they really up to here, Twila?
- 10:39Well, it could be that they're just trying to get the camel's nose into the genetic privacy tent, right, to get uh parents to be willing to do this.
- 10:49I will say that um they did have a program, they paid 25 million dollars in uh 2013 for a five-year program to ask parents to sequence their children.
- 11:02One of the programs was called Baby Seek.
- 11:05There were four programs that came out of that.
- 11:08And what baby seek proved, according to the researchers, is that parents, when they parents would say yes at the hospital, lots of parents would say yes, but then when they got home and they thought about it, they refused to continue.
- 11:24So they they withdrew their yes, and they uh they didn't do this to their child.
- 11:31And I I think you know, there are things that they may or may not be told, and I think one of the most important things is what's called the collateral damage of newborn screening.
- 11:40So already with 30 to 80 some conditions, depending on the state.
- 11:46I was shown in 2010 in a study done, I believe in Boston, um, that there was collateral damage of newborn screening.
- 11:56And what they meant by this is that um when a child is screened, sometimes there'll be a false positive.
- 12:05So the parents will get a call and say there may be something wrong with your baby, you know, like within the first two to three um weeks of the child's birth.
- 12:17And then they will be told to go get the child re-screened.
- 12:22Well, this has an enormous impact on the parents to get this kind of a phone call.
- 12:28And often it comes from the health department and not their doctor, which is even more scary for them because they're like, what does the health department doing with any information about my baby?
- 12:37Okay, well, what they have found is that oftentimes it's false positives, and so they go and they get the second test, and then the second test shoes shows that there's nothing wrong with their baby.
- 12:47But parents don't believe it.
- 12:48They believe the first test, which is the one that hit them in the gut and the brain when they first got the message, and they think that the second test is actually the one that's wrong.
- 12:59And so to some percentage of people in this situation will have a have problems bonding with their child.
- 13:08They will think their child might die in the next year or two.
- 13:11They will change the diet of their child, and they'll keep on that diet for years beyond when this newborn condition could ever have struck the child.
- 13:21And the child never got struck with that newborn condition, but they're still feeding the child a very restricted diet, or they're still keeping the child away from others because they think that that's going to protect the child or protect other people, or you know, whatever it is.
- 13:36Now 777 conditions that a child could be tested for.
- 13:43What this study showed is that the more conditions a child is tested for, the more likely of collateral damage, because the more false positives there there will be, and therefore the more phone calls that will go out, and the more people that will hear that there's something wrong with their baby, and the more, you know, and the more people that will be, you know, damaged and traumatized for a very long time by this kind of information.
- 14:00And then more people that will be, you know, damaged and traumatized for a very long time by this kind of information.
- 14:08So I did, I did um, I did hear there's a representative of the crab A, we'll just call it the Crab A Society.
- 14:08So I did, I did um, I did hear there's a representative of the Crab A, we'll just call it the Crab A Society.
- 14:16I don't think that's quite right.
- 14:16I don't think that's quite right, but it's Crab A, which is uh K R A B B E.
- 14:17But it's Crab A, which is uh K-R-A-B-B-E.
- 14:21And the representative there just talked about we cannot have these calls going out to parents traumatizing them.
- 14:21And the representative there just talked about we cannot have these calls going out to parents traumatizing them.
- 14:30And that's exactly what she was talking about.
- 14:32The fact that, you know, this would be the potential for even more calls to go out traumatizing parents.
- 14:38And again, remember that most people don't even know about newborn screening, and to what degree and at what level of consent will those parents uh or what level of information will those parents be given before consent?
- 14:52Will they even be told about collateral damage?
- 14:55Will they even be told about the fact that we're going to sequence your child taking away their taking away their genetic privacy, putting the results in a government record, also sent to their medical record, which is permanent.
- 15:11And I can tell you the story about a mother who called me up, uh, and she was traumatized because she had had one of these calls, and uh she was angry, and she said they called the health department called me up, and I thought, what on earth is the health department doing with any information on my baby?
- 15:30So she didn't know.
- 15:32She may or may not have known about the newborn screening, but she surely didn't know about the health department actually doing the test.
- 15:38She probably just thought that the hospital did the test, right?
- 15:41And then the health department told her, we've already scheduled an appointment with you at a geneticist at the university.
- 15:50Wow.
- 15:51That made her really angry.
- 15:52She's like, what are you doing?
- 15:53Scheduling appointments for me and my family.
- 15:56And then she said, and then the health department said, You should come in prepared to test your whole family.
- 16:02Oh my goodness.
- 16:03Yep.
- 16:04And then they go in, they find out they do the testing only of the child.
- 16:10And then they find out that the child has a trait, a trait, the trait that's never going to harm them.
- 16:16But it is potential that if they married somebody, right?
- 16:20That that could end up with a child that would actually have the condition.
- 16:24Anyway, but the mothers, the very angry mother said to me, How do I get this black mark out of my son's record?
- 16:34I said, There's no way to get that black mark out of your son's record.
- 16:38Are they going to tell that in their informed consent process?
- 16:44Are they going to give these kind of scenarios to parents who are otherwise unaware?
- 16:49They just think that the hospital is offering them something good.
- 16:52They just think it's for public benefit and their child's benefit.
- 16:56And like you said, I do want to add this that when they were talking, they were talking about gene editing, CRISPR, gene therapy.
- 17:06And there was a very exciting story of a child who had gene editing at about I don't know, six or seven, or was it three months of age, whatever it was?
- 17:20And no, I think discovered at three, and then had started having this cascade of problems.
- 17:26And then they did the gene editing, and the child has acted normal and met all the development markers since that time.
- 17:34It was a very exciting uh result for them to, you know, talk about.
- 17:40But I did ask, and so are you going to talk about any of the problems?
- 17:44Exactly.
- 17:45And that's when the researcher said, well, there have been people who have died.
- 17:50Oh, oh, by the way.
- 17:51Yeah, oh, by the way, right?
- 17:52But the real thing is to push.
- 17:54Will this kind of data be used to pressure families into genetic editing?
- 18:01Will it be even more reason why they could take this man and this woman and look at their newborn screening results 20 years later when they want to get married and say, oh no, you will be an expense unless you're ready to prepare to, you know, edit your um here edit your um the gene.
- 18:22Your pre-born, your pre-born, right?
- 18:25Or edit your baby when it comes out, right?
- 18:27We we have no idea, but to what degree will there be informed consent.
- 18:31But one of the things they want to know in the study is why are parents saying no, that the parents that say no, why are they saying no?
- 18:39Yeah, that was um when I had Leah Wilson on and we were talking about this in Florida.
- 18:44Now it may have progressed since then, but the main reason that they were setting up they were to screen 300,000 babies in Florida, and it wasn't to test to see what percentage of the population has this defect or this abnormality or whatever it is.
- 18:59It the real reason for doing the study was to determine what percentage of mothers resisted and then analyze those to determine why, sort of like the vaccine hesitancy stuff that they did maybe 10 years ago, you know, to try to figure out what it is of why people wouldn't want this, and then market to that to get them to change their mind.
- 19:21This is just an incredible travesty.
- 19:23You know, I was at a at a Maha action event in it was really super cold out.
- 19:29So I'm gonna say it was December or January, and one of the speakers on the uh on the stage was talking about how wonderful it would be to have a national database of everyone's genetics in it, that we could do gene testing, we would understand how these technologies worked, and we would have a database to do all this research.
- 19:48He went on and on and on about it.
- 19:50And I and I think most people sitting there listening to him were somewhere between shell-shocked and appalled, you know, like you're gonna put the DNA data database of every American into who controls that database, who handles that information?
- 20:07Does it get sold to China?
- 20:09And do they create things that are gonna kill people with a certain genetic profile?
- 20:14I mean, nobody thinks about the downside of this thing.
- 20:17You know, like your N of one child that got treated with the gene therapy and had a great result that, oh, by the way, there were a lot of people we tried this on and they died.
- 20:27That's I mean, we're living in the insane asylum, Twila.
- 20:32I mean, there's nobody asking any of the hard questions, nobody.
- 20:36Well, there's so much money and there's so many agendas, right?
- 20:41And so, you know, you can have the people who want to do it for eugenics and they never say it, right?
- 20:46They'll never ever say it, right?
- 20:48They're just doing it, you know, to prevent these kind of abnormal children or to change their life so they don't have to grow up uh abnormal or they don't have to die early, or you know, whatever it is.
- 20:59But you look at what happened in um Iceland, where it's now it's not quite required, I don't think, but almost every mom has pre, what do they call it?
- 21:00Look at what happened in um Iceland, where it's now it's not quite required, I don't think, but almost every mom has pre what do they call it?
- 21:12Uh, prenatal testing.
- 21:12Uh prenatal testing.
- 21:14Um, and then there's not more than one or two Downs children that are born in that country anymore because everybody is doing the testing.
- 21:14Um, and then there's not more than one or two Downs children that are born in that country anymore, because everybody is doing the testing.
- 21:23And of course, as he, this guy at the conference, he said there's eugenics already with all that uh, you know.
- 21:23And of course, as he, this guy at the conference, he said there's eugenics already with all that uh, you know, uh pre-birth testing of the babies or the uh the testing of the embryo, right?
- 21:36To see what that is already eugenics, and I'm like, you can say what you want, but that does not make this uh a good idea, you know, to do this.
- 21:47And I'm hopeful that the studies will show that parents are uh unhappy with this, but I also think, like here in Minnesota, so Minnesota is one of them, right?
- 21:58Well, we are starting to alert legislators to say, you know.
- 22:03Are you in agreement with this?
- 22:05Just because they got you know, part of the 14.4 million dollar cachet of cash, right?
- 22:12Does that mean that our moms and dads in this state should have this question asked to them?
- 22:21Does it mean that they that we agree in the state of Minnesota that the government should be able to sequence the children?
- 22:27And what's gonna happen with the data?
- 22:29So it's just like they're doing it outside the state, getting the federal money, holding their own little conferences, right?
- 22:37And I don't believe there's any authority anywhere at the state level to allow them to do that.
- 22:42And likewise, probably with the other states.
- 22:45They just get the federal money, take it, and they don't really come to the legislators and say, well, maybe we should have some authority from all of you about this before we do it.
- 22:54So this money's coming out of the NIH.
- 22:56Who's who's mining the hen house at the NIH about this?
- 23:00Oh, um, that I am not sure.
- 23:03Of course, you know, at the top is Jay Bodicharya, but does he know?
- 23:07It's hard to say, right?
- 23:09I I think these kind of federal programs just go on.
- 23:12I I can tell you a very uh funny story.
- 23:14It'd be funny to your listeners too.
- 23:17Very telling story.
- 23:18Um, I was once talking to a former administrator of um of NIH, and I think, but he was also administrator of another agency.
- 23:28And I think this came from the other agency, but it's all the way across the agencies.
- 23:33I'm sure this is the case.
- 23:35Yeah, he decided when he got in that he would go and meet as many people in the agencies as possible and get to know them, right?
- 23:43To have you know, build relationships and thousands of people, right?
- 23:46So he spent a month or two just going from uh department to department and meeting to meeting, right?
- 23:53And at this one meeting, a woman came up to him, and he he asked, you know, who you are, and she said, and or he introduced himself and she said, I'm so-and-so from the B team.
- 24:06He said, Oh, the B team.
- 24:08What's that mean?
- 24:09Where is that?
- 24:10And she said, I be here when you're gone.
- 24:17Right?
- 24:18So the B team, the B team is at work.
- 24:23Whether uh, you know, Director Jay Buddhacharya knows anything about what the B team is doing in all the different departments and agencies and uh work forces and all this kind of thing below him, that is in question.
- 24:38But the B team will not stop just because you get a different administrator or a different president at the top.
- 24:44And so, you know, it's really organizations like ours, it's it's truth tellers like you who let the American people know what the B team is doing when we can find out what the B team is doing.
- 24:57Wow.
- 24:58Well, sadly, that's the deep state, and that's the swamp, and that it's been there forever.
- 25:04And anybody that's tried to uproot it, you know, it's sort of like you pull out one weed and two more grow back in its place, you know.
- 25:11So I think if this is that's a good place for us to take a quick station break and the whole earth, hold your thought right there so we can hear from our sponsors on America Outloud.news.
- 25:20America Outloud uh Radio plays the 10 penny files on the iHeartRadio Network every day, Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.
- 25:26Eastern.
- 25:27If you've missed any of these great conversations, which we've really had a lot of them, you can find the 10 penny files on Spotify, Pandora, Apple, TuneIn, iHeartRad Virtual Studios, and the best places on my platform.
- 25:41If you just go to DR10penny.com and hover over the podcast tab, you'll see a drop-down window that says all podcasts.
- 25:47We couldn't have made it any easier for you.
- 25:49So you can find it there so that you can watch or listen.
- 25:52We also post these on dr10penny.substack.com and our Christian ones on Tuesday on 10 PennywalkwithGod.substack.com.
- 26:01We've got a great message coming from our sponsors.
- 26:04Sit tight, listen closely.
- 26:05We will be right back with more with uh Twilebrays, the president and co-founder and citizens council for health freedom.
- 26:12We will be right back.
- 26:13There are an awful lot of people that are affiliates for Mike Lindell, because we all really appreciate what he does for this country.
- 26:19We appreciate the hard work that he does, and we appreciate his products.
- 26:23He has more than 200 products in his store.
- 26:25Everything from pillowcases and comforters to doggy beds and to uh wonderful slippers and bathrobes.
- 26:32There's something for everybody and something it for everybody in each age group.
- 26:37I mean, one of the things that I really like a lot are the pillowcases, the children's Bible story pillowcases that I just think are such a great way when you tuck your child into bed at night to use these pillowcases that they're they come from his store to start to tell the story about Adam and Eve and knowing the ark and and different things, and they're colorful and they're really pretty.

- 27:25I exercised ate a healthy diet and had no symptoms when a routine mammogram resulted in a cancer diagnosis.
- 27:32It revealed a hard truth.
- 27:34Even healthy people can get cancer.
- 27:36And much of modern medicine is reactive, not preventative.

- 32:33Well, welcome back, everyone.
- 32:34Today's conversation on the 10penny files is with Twila Brays, who brings us monthly critical updates on healthcare and what's going on with health freedom.
- 32:42Let me just tell you just a tad bit more about Twila in case you've missed some of her previous broadcasts.
- 32:47She is the president and co-founder of Citizens Council for Health Freedom, a patient-centered policy organization established more than 20 years ago in Minnesota to protect patient and doctor Freedom.
- 32:58She has so many accomplishments.
- 33:00We could send the rest of the show just talking about that.
- 33:03But one of her my favorite ones is her one of a kind Medicare How to Guide.
- 33:08And she's been instrumental in stopping the real ID.
- 33:12Her nine-time award-winning best book, Big Brother in the Bet in the Exam Room, Big Brother in the Exam Room, The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health Records, uh, written in 2018 is more important now than ever.
- 33:25Twila, welcome back to the show.
- 33:27You know, we've spent, we we have like uh 12 more points to cover in like 20 minutes.
- 33:33So which where would you like to direct this conversation?
- 33:36Do you want to give us an update on the real ID?
- 33:39Um, I'm really surprised at why the um, you know, the the what is it, the the Save America Act has sort of taken a back seat since we started the Iran War.
- 33:49Nobody's really talking about that at this point in time.
- 33:52Or do you want to get into Medicare advantage and Medicare fraud and what's going on across the country with that?
- 33:58You pick.
- 33:59Where do you want to go next?
- 34:01I pick those two topics.
- 34:03I'll give you a real ID update, and then I'd love to say the new and troubling things that are happening in the Medicare program that I think everybody should know about, and everybody should be talking to their members of Congress about and by that I do mean everybody because everybody will be forced into Medicare unless we have our way here and can uh stop that.
- 34:24So let me just talk about real ID.
- 34:26Does that work?
- 34:27Yeah, sure, absolutely.
- 34:29Okay, so several things at the state level on uh real ID.
- 34:32Uh in Tennessee, a bill is going to the governor now for his signature, which will tell everybody in Tennessee they have to be informed that they have the right to and there is available a non-real ID license.
- 34:48So we um we tried to get even more than that, but we are glad for that particular bill because at least people will hear that they have another option.
- 34:59Whereas in South Dakota, I just want to say as in comparison, South Dakota is 99% compliant with Real ID because the DMVs, as soon as the real ID came out, they just started issuing them.
- 35:00South Dakota, I just want to say as in comparison, South Dakota is 99% compliant with real ID because the DMVs, as soon as the real ID came out, they just started issuing them.
- 35:11They never asked anybody if they wanted a regular ID.
- 35:12They never asked anybody if they wanted uh regular ID, but today, as people are finding out that they can have one.
- 35:15But today, as people are finding out that they can have one, people in South Dakota are making the decision to switch back to a state driver's license.
- 35:18People in South Dakota are making the decision to switch back to a state driver's license.
- 35:23So it's really important in uh to get these bills that allow you to know that you have an option.
- 35:23So it's really important in uh to get these bills that allow you to know that you have an option.
- 35:29And then from our
- 35:29And then from our organization, we tell you why it's important that you pick the non-real ID.
- 35:34Uh, in Arizona, there is a bill moving forward to also give you a right to protect your right to choose a non-real ID.
- 35:43And the reason why you don't want a real ID is because the real ID is really being set up to be the digital biometric controlled domestic passport over all of life within the United States.
- 35:56It's a federal ID masquerading as a state driver's license.
- 36:00It's under federal control, unlike the state driver's licenses, and they want to digitize it, put it on your phone and have remote access.
- 36:08The DMVs have testified to that in Congress.
- 36:11And it's being used to create a um a national facial recognition system because a biometric is required.
- 36:18Now, the standard state driver's license will probably also have a biometric, but that is not where the government wants to go.
- 36:24They want everybody in a real ID.
- 36:26Okay, so these are good things that are happening at the state level.
- 36:30But I want to talk about the Save Act, because you mentioned the Save Act.
- 36:34Well, wait, well, wait just one second before you go move on to that.
- 36:36Um, so what happens on if you if you're from Tennessee and you want to go on an airplane and you're trying to fly from California back to Tennessee, and the people in California say, well, you don't have a real ID, so you can't get on the plane.
- 36:49What happens with that?
- 36:51Well, you do have to know that you have to have whatever the TSA requires for um for getting on a plane, but even that is a little interesting because now that okay, so I'll just start with this.
- 37:03There are 17 TSA acceptable identification documents to get you on a plane, including your passport, a passport card, military ID, VA medical card, all sorts of cards.
- 37:17And um, and then there's a mobile ID option as well.
- 37:21Um, but the interesting thing is since February 1st, when they started their TSA confirm ID program.
- 37:31If it sounds like we're getting reports back that if you don't have an ID of any sort, so let's just say you lost it, it was stolen, or you just want to test the system, apparently.
- 37:42Um, you could pay your 45 dollars, and that would be enough to get you on the plane, and you have to pay it on the way back.
- 37:50So it looks like you could even fly without an ID.
- 37:53And as a matter of fact, all our lives you have been able to fly without an ID because people have gotten them stolen and lost them probably every day.
- 38:04Somebody somewhere is doing that, and they've always had a process to get you onto that plane.
- 38:09Wow.
- 38:10And you know, I remember we talked about this at one point in time, and you know, there were rules about that, like you know, you had to play it both ways, but how long were you allowed to stay in a certain place before you had to pay the fine to come back?
- 38:22I mean, the government, it seems as though when it comes to this, that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
- 38:29Well, that rule is still there starting on February 1st is that the um confirm ID 20 uh sorry, 45 fee um only lasts for 10 days of travel.
- 38:42So if you travel for two weeks, you'll have to pay it coming and going.
- 38:46But if you but if you arrive at any time, a two-day trip, whatever, and you and you don't have an ID.
- 38:54If you have that digital, the digital um pass that you already paid it, you'll probably get through.
- 39:01But I don't know that anybody has tested that whether you have to pay another 45 if you don't have an ID at all, either coming or going.
- 39:08I think that's up for debate.
- 39:12Well, to be determined.
- 39:13So let's move on to Save the America Act, because that was such a really big deal, and Trump was threatening vetoing all this other stuff, and it seems like that's sort of been sidelined with the IRI and going on.
- 39:26Yep.
- 39:27So I think what's interesting about the Save Act is what people don't understand about it.
- 39:32And uh, we actually contacted the author's office to figure out what they meant when they had the first option for identification in order to register to vote as a real ID.
- 39:45So know this that this bill is all about registering to vote, not about voting itself.
- 39:51And so to register to vote, the requirement is any number of identifications.
- 39:58And the first one listed is called a real ID that indicates citizenship.
- 40:05Now most real IDs do not indicate citizenship, which is why we contacted the author's office, Chip Roy, and basically and said, What is this?
- 40:17And so this is this little provision here is for the people in the five states that have enhanced driver's licenses.
- 40:27Enhanced driver's licenses act as a passport to get you between like America and Canada, America and the Bahamas, America and Mexico, and it is really five northern states because most of that transportation is simply between Canada and America.
- 40:46And so those are the only ones that indicate citizenship because it acts as an actual passport.
- 40:52All the rest of the real IDs, you would have to bring another document in order to register to vote.
- 40:58You could bring your real ID, but you'd also have to bring, you know, your birth certificate, your certificate of um citizenship.
- 41:06There's a whole variety in the bill that give you, you know, the options that you can use.
- 41:12Our problem with the Save Act or marketing of the Save Act, or not, it's not even marketing.
- 41:19Our problem was that people were saying in order to register to vote, you'll need a real ID.
- 41:23And this was being used to push people into this federal ID that people want to use as a domestic federally controlled ID across the country, right?
- 41:35And our what we were trying to do, we put out a press release, we we put out a variety of things to let people know.
- 41:41The save act should not even be looked at as a reason why you should get a real ID.
- 41:46Registering to vote should not be a reason why you should get a real ID.
- 41:50You should see the real ID for what it is, and you should recognize that even in the SAVE Act, it says that a real ID is not sufficient to vote unless you have an enhanced driver's license, which is then considered a real ID in those five northern states.
- 42:00Unless you have an enhanced driver's license, which is then considered a real ID in those five northern states.
- 42:07See, I thought that the Save Act was about that you needed to show an ID when you voted.
- 42:07See, I thought that the SAVE Act was about that you needed to show an ID when you voted.
- 42:12That isn't the case, is it?
- 42:12That isn't the case, is it?
- 42:14No, it's all about registration and it's all about federal elections.
- 42:14No, it's all about registration and it's all about federal elections.
- 42:19So it's only about federal elections.
- 42:19So it's only about federal elections.
- 42:21And so initially I was concerned about the save act because I thought, well, this is the federal government, you know, breaking into elections, and some of the things that Thune was saying, and some of the things that.
- 42:21And so initially I was concerned about the Save that because I thought, well, this is the federal government, you know, breaking into elections, and some of the things that Thune was saying, and some things that what was his name?
- 42:32Uh okay, whoever he is.
- 42:34I can't remember which one was saying it now.
- 42:36Anyway, they were talking about it like the federal government should not interfere in elections.
- 42:40And then I read more to find out that the constitution itself allows the federal government to involve itself in federal elections to a certain extent because the founders were concerned that a state would just decide not to hold federal elections if they didn't like the presidential candidates, for instance.
- 43:00And so the federal government is allowed to, or that Congress is allowed to involve itself for federal elections.
- 43:08So if it's your county election, that's just a state election that doesn't have the president or any member of Congress, you know, there's no involvement there.
- 43:17So it was uh there's a lot of like nuances and caveats that a lot of people don't understand about the bill.
- 43:25Well, isn't that just typical of American bills and what is what the what the stuff that's stuffed in there is just terrible.
- 43:32Yeah, we just didn't want it used to push the real ID, which you know could really set us up for a China-like social credit system, all run by the federal government, all controlled, digitized, you know, biometrified, and then they they put your, you know, you put your money on your phone too, and it'll be just like China.
- 43:49It'll just shut down your bank, they'll shut down your ability to pay for anything, you know, whatever it is.
- 43:55That's what could happen with the real ID system.
- 43:57And that's why we're asking people to make the switch back to a standard state driver's license and do not let them get what they want, which is a real ID for all.
- 44:09That's good.
- 44:11Well, it's like so exasperating learning all this stuff.
- 44:15Another thing that I learned from your staff was this is HIPAA awareness month.
- 44:20Like who knew?
- 44:21I guess there's awareness month of everything, you know.
- 44:24And so, but this is a HIPAA, uh, it is this, and you have said many times HIPAA is a sieve, not a vault.
- 44:31You know, it's everything leaks out.
- 44:33So what'd you say in your book?
- 44:35Two two and twenty two 2.2 million people or something like that can have access to it.
- 44:40What are this some of the common myths about HIPAA that need to be dispelled?
- 44:46So to be clear, it is our HIPAA awareness month.
- 44:49We have yet to get the national calendar.
- 44:51Oh, okay.
- 44:53So for about five years now, we just use April as a HIPAA awareness month and talk all about the issue to try to get the American public to understand how they have been deceived and what they can do about it to protect themselves from HIPAA.
- 45:08And so um, and so uh because it was passed uh 23 years ago on April 14th, it becoming it wasn't passed, it became effective on April 14th, 23 years ago.
- 45:22So this is essentially the 23rd anniversary of this grand deliberate deception of the American people that HIPAA protects their privacy.
- 45:32So I think you know, when you're looking at uh the things to know about HIPAA and how it does not protect your privacy, uh things that you should understand is that the HIPAA privacy form or that statement where they ask you to acknowledge that you have received the notice of privacy practices.
- 45:51All of that is meant to deceive you into thinking that HIPAA protects you while HIPAA is actually considered in the industry to be a permissive data sharing rule.
- 46:04Uh, everybody in the industry, everybody in government understands all the data sharing that can happen underneath your nose without your consent in the background, uh, and all the ways it's being used uh by outsiders, how it's being sliced and diced and analyzed and sold and all sorts of things, right?
- 46:26But you, the American public don't realize that.
- 46:28And now that you know, you then you want to know what to do, right?
- 46:32And so um because HIPAA, it's a federal law.
- 46:37Well, HIPAA is a federal rule.
- 46:40Well, okay, it's a federal law, it's a health insurance portability and accountability act of 1996, HIPAA.
- 46:51In that big act was a tiny little section called administrative simplification, where Congress said we're going to digitize all of your data, and we promise that we will write a law within the next three years to protect your privacy because they knew as soon as they digitize your data, made it available online through cyberspace through networks that privacy was going to be a problem.
- 47:16But they never intended to pass a privacy law, so they let the regulators uh write the privacy, so-called privacy rule, HIPAA.
- 47:25They hit and out of there comes the HIPAA form.
- 47:27Out of there comes the notice of privacy practices, which should be called the notice of disclosure practices.
- 47:34Out of there comes the request for you to sign the form.
- 47:38Uh, we just came up and we're telling you not to sign the form.
- 47:41And you have a perfect right not to sign the form.
- 47:44And HHS on their website says, by law, you do not have to sign the form.
- 47:50And so we are getting people all over the country to refuse to sign the form, and we are getting clinics to do what HHS requires them to do, them to do, not you.
- 48:02It requires them to make a note and document that you have refused.
- 48:06It does not require you to pick up a pen, click a button, nothing.
- 48:10So even at the pharmacy when they got that little thing that just say, you know, HIPAA, I'm like, I don't do it.
- 48:15So then they do whatever they want to do, but I don't do it.
- 48:19And um, and so uh we just created a brand new document, which you can find at CCHfreedom.org at the bottom, it's called helpful handouts.
- 48:32Go in there and just find the refuse.
- 48:36Um refuse to sign HIPAA notice of privacy practices or refuse to sign HIPAA form, whatever it is, acknowledgement statement.
- 48:44I think that's what we call it.
- 48:45Refuse to sign HIPAA acknowledgement statement.
- 48:49It shows you the five different ways that they will ask you, including that tiny little thing with the stylus, and they just say that just sign there, and you say what is that?
- 48:57And they say it's HIPAA.
- 48:59Well, is there anything else in your life that you sign without ever seeing a word of what you are signing?
- 49:00Else in your life that you sign without ever seeing a word of what you are signing, don't do it.
- 49:04Don't do it.
- 49:05And then ask them for paper, and then refuse to sign.
- 49:05And then ask them for paper and then refuse to sign.
- 49:09So we uh in this wonderful uh document that we just created, we show you how to show them on your phone what HHS's website says, which is that by law, you don't have to sign and by law, they are the only ones who have to do any picking up of a pen or clicking a button.
- 49:09So we uh in this wonderful uh document that we just created, we show you how to show them on your phone what HHS's website says, which is that by law, you don't have to sign and by law, they are the only ones who have to do any picking up of a pen or clicking a button, saying that you refuse to sign.
- 49:32Uh and this is all about getting the American people to realize how they've been deceived, how they have no privacy, and why states should give them back their privacy by writing a real medical privacy law in their uh state statutes and under HIPAA, the federal law and the federal rule.
- 49:50If a state writes a privacy law, it supersedes HIPAA and it protects you from HIPAA.
- 49:57And so that's part of what we do with HIPAA awareness month.
- 49:59And we've got videos and we've had social media every day telling you truths and facts and myths about about HIPAA.
- 50:08Does HIPAA apply to insurance to the insurance industry?
- 50:13Does he what?
- 50:14Does HIPAA apply to like life insurance and things like that?
- 50:18Does it apply to the to the insurance industry?
- 50:21Yeah, so it applies to health plans because they are considered covered entities in the law.
- 50:28And when you said uh 2.2 million, 2.2 million entities, not people, entities can have access to your medical records without your consent if those who hold them choose to share them.
- 50:42So they can make the decisions on their own without asking you.
- 50:46And within that 2.2 million are 702,000 covered entities.
- 50:54Those are all the people that you expect to have your medical records: the labs, the hospitals, the clinics, X-ray facilities, all that, right?
- 51:03And then there are 1.5 million business associates and all the employees in there who they might decide have a right to access your identifiable information.
- 51:13Um, and so um so then you all the what we were talking about before the break, all this DNA testing that's supposedly covered by HIPAA.
- 51:23What is that actually?
- 51:24No, actually, the governments, that's the interesting part about it, is the governments are not a covered entity, and they're typically not a business associate.
- 51:32So the governments themselves are not covered under HIPAA, and of course, there is no protection under HIPAA, but the governments are not in there except that there are 12 national priority purposes in HIPAA for which data can be shared.
- 51:48And the public health is one of them, law enforcement, certain law enforcement, certain administrative proceedings, certain judicial review, uh organ procurement organizations can have access to your information or your loved ones' information as they're dying without your consent.
- 52:05I mean, there are 12 national priority purposes like that, which give the government and others access, even though they're not a covered entity or a business associate.
- 52:17Who writes these things?
- 52:19Who puts, I mean, you know, every time I talk to you and we talk about things like this, like the massive amount of fraud, the massive amount of of lack of protection for the people.
- 52:30I mean, who dreams up these things and puts these things in place?
- 52:35Well, you know, if people choose to get my book, uh Big Brother in the Exam Room, I uh uh according to uh somebody at the Minnesota legislature whose job is all data, who doesn't necessarily isn't necessarily on our side with where we want to bring privacy back, but uh he said it's the best history of how it happened, and so there's an actual group called the work work group weedy work group on electronic data interchange, and they worked hard long and hard, even to do something like to get into George W.
- 53:10Bush's um State of the Union address, one sentence that said they were moving to electronic health records.
- 53:19Um they worked long and hard on that.
- 53:22And so this is the data industry.
- 53:25This is the healthcare industry, these are government officials who want your data and they want to have access to your data, they want to share your data, they want to use your data.
- 53:34These are the researchers, these are everybody who can stand to benefit off of the gold mine that your data is because your data in that medical record, and now the electronic health record has lots more than the paper record ever had.
- 53:49Um, it includes you could they can link it to your family, they can look at one doctor and all the patients that that doctor effort took care of, and they can tell the doctor you can't do XYZ anymore.
- 54:00Oh, we saw that you gave 10 ivermectin prescriptions.
- 54:04Now we know that about you, right?
- 54:06I mean, these are the things that they can do with our data.
- 54:10And so these are all the people who wanted to have access, and it was the department who wrote the regulation, the HIPAA rule.
- 54:19But of course, they had lots of input from those who wanted it to be to take away your consent rather than giving you any power over it.
- 54:28So which department wrote it?
- 54:30You said it's in the department that wrote it.
- 54:31US Department of Health and Human Services, and it was uh Secretary Donna Shalela during Clinton.
- 54:38Yeah, well, that's who wrote that recommendation.
- 54:40That described that explains everything just by knowing that she was behind it.
- 54:44And you guys really should get this book, big brother in the in the exam room because it really is like eye popping.
- 54:50And like I said in the introduction, it was it's gotten 18 awards and it's um eight awards and was written in 2018, right?
- 55:00And it's more important now than ever.
- 55:02And I would say the last oh, just glancing through there about the last hundred pages is footnotes and references.
- 55:09And so you can find this in our bookstore where we put all of our authors in there that at bookstore.dr10penny.com, which is bookstore.dr10pany.com.
- 55:18We'll make sure that it's in there because everybody should have one of these because it's the it's it's actually a really good read, but it's also a reference manual.
- 55:27It's something that you will refer back to over and over and over again because of all the great things that are in here.
- 55:34Well, Twilight, we got about one minute left in our time today.
- 55:37We could talk for hours, as you know.
- 55:39What would you like to leave us with here today?
- 55:42Um, I guess uh I guess what I would say is I'd love to talk to you next time about what's happening in Medicare, but I will say that if you get the book, it is a reference book, but the judges, the judges wrote comments when they gave us gave me the awards.
- 55:58And one of the things were they just couldn't believe it.
- 56:00Just couldn't believe it.
