• 0:42
  Speaker 3: great role in music.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks and loom I got a little pino so smart he goes,

  Speaker 1: you got a doctor on the follow Let's give him
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: some doctor song from Jackson Brown. So thank you that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It's really great to have you, Brian. I love all
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the work all you guys. Bobby was on this show
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: last week, doctor Oz two weeks ago. Now we get
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you and having a back and forth with my news
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: guy this morning.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: He's a very smart guy. You'd like him, Brian, a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: nice guy.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But he said, look, there really is no evidence, none,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that these vaccines cause autism.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I said, what are you talking about. There's loads of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: stuff over.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The years where you can connect some of these childhood
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: vaccines with autism.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: We went back and forth, but like five minutes. So
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: what's the real answer.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Brian well I Saya said, what we saw yesterday with
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: President Trump signing that executive order, with Secretary Kennedy in
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: the office with him. You know, that's another win for America.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: It's another win for making America great again, and another
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: win for making America healthier than she's ever been. Because listen,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: when we at HHS back in January of this year,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: we did a study and we looked at peer nations,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: for instance, European nations and peer nations looked at their
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: childhood vaccine schedules, and we give so many more vaccinations
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: to our children than other countries. Do you know there's
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: a group of about eleven vaccinations, things like things like
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: you know, polio and things like measles, mumps, rubell of
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: things like whooping cough or pertussis, tetanus, giftheria that countries
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: agree upon, But we have so many other vaccinations that
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: are poured into our children. And I think what you're
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: seeing with this is we say, listen, let's take some
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: common sense. Let's give parents the maximal control to be
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: able to decide what is right for their children, because
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: that's what the way it should be. And listen, Yes,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: there is a concern about vaccines and about autism. There's
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: no question we need to bring gold standard science to
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: figure out exactly what does cause autism. People have such concerns,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: we need to study it. There are some who say, well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: it's proven that the vaccines don't cause autism. I say,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: we study it more. You can't ever harm doing that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: We break these vaccinations up for kids. We do what
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the President says, we make America healthier than she's ever been.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: That the greatness of President Trump and Secretary Kennedy. That's
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: how I feel about it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I totally agree with everything you just said. I really do.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I love President Trump deally. In fact, I'm going to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: see them on body here on Long Island.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I love all you guys.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You guys are doing great work making us healthy again.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: There's no question about that. I don't know how you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: could possibly argue that. You know, you look at some
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of the vaccines that these kids are taking. I mean,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: how can you make an argument for a little baby
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to ever take a hept bee vaccine. You have to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: acquire that you're not born with HEP b ORSB. I mean,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: some of these vaccines that our babies are infants are getting,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it's ludicrous.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Brian, Yeah, no, no, listen, I agree with you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I mean in terms of you know, you know, in
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: terms of the hepatitis you're talking about. We know that
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: if the mother has that could pass it on to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the child. Okay, if the mom doesn't have it, do
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you need to vaccinate the child? I would say no,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: you can get it through sexual contact. We know no
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: babies having sexual intimacy. So, you know, what you're saying
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: makes complete sense. Again, we want parents to have the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: control they should have. What we want is to be
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: able to protect our children, to do what's right. And yes, vaccinations,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: vaccinations are a great tool to have in our armamentarium,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to have in our toolkit to promote health. But that
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean every vaccine is the same. That doesn't mean
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: you have to pour you know, a bunch into a
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: little baby at one time. I mean, that's what the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: president is saying. I agree with him one hundred percent
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: of me.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Two you know how to buddy. His name is Alex Sadan.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: He wan for Senate. He was funny against el Corey Booker.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He lost the primary. He did a good job, he
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: lost the primary, and he was all about freedoms what
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you're talking about right now, Brian. You know a bunch
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of people around him that I've had on this show
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: many times, from Mary Holland to the great writer and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: attorney Aaron Sierrie, to Victoria cape Ish. I mean, all
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: these great people, and all these people do is fight
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: for freedoms. They're in New Jersey, whether it's parental freedom,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: which what we're talking about right.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Now, whether it's religious freedom.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why the United States of America, which
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is built on that one great abstract, why aren't more
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: people like this, like us, like we're talking about that, John,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Why not give the parents the choice?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I agree? I agree one thousand percent. You know, so
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: my practice, and before I got had the privilege of
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: being nominated by the President, I practice for about thirty
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: five years as a eurologic surgeon, the urologist with a
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: real focus on men's health. And listen, I would have
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: patients would come in and they would have something going on,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: and I would give them counsel and give them my
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: best judgment. And then the person makes the decision, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: you have to be respectful of that. And so you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: let parents make the decision what's right for their kids.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: And listen, Americans are reasonable people. We're going to do
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: what's right for our kids. But when you try to
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: start forcing us to pour vaccine after vaccine after vaccine
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: after vaccine into our kids, listen, we're going to push back.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And I think I understand that. And let's face it,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: then when we see people like Anthony Fausci, we lose
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: conft evidence and what healthcare practitioners are telling us. So listen.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: One of the things that we want to do here
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: at the Department of Health and Human Service is certainly
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: one of my primary one of my primary missions at
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: the time that I get to wear this uniform and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: serve this amazing president, is to help bring back confidence
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and trust in our health care system and in our
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: higher institutions that formulate health care policy. There's been such
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: damage in the last administration. Look at my office, my predecessor,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: a man wear an address, Rachel Richard Levine. Right, he's
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: going to trust that person, and that person didn't. Again,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think he cared at all about a lot
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: of the things he talked about, except he cared about
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: transitioning kids, telling little boys they could be little girls,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: little girls they could be little boys. That's all he
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: cares about. But no, we have to bring back confidence
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: and trust. Secretary Kennedy, President Trump, Doctor Oz Jay Botchari,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and myself, I think we're the right people to do that,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I think the number right now it was seventeen, right,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and President Trump, we do set number to eleven in
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: terms of the recommended vaccines.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Is that the right numbers? Brian?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So you know the way it thinks as of
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, for instance, you know in the United States,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: all right, so you've got eighty four vaccine doses at
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: least fifty seven different shots for seventeen diseases. And then
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: if you throw in RSV, respiratories and issue virus, toss
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: another one in eighteen diseases. So these numbers far exceed
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: other peer countries. Not even close.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So the model that President Trump is looking to move
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: closer and closer too, if I'm reading this correctly, is Denmark?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know, said, I don't know specifically if it's Denmark.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: But again, these other countries, they do have these eleven
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: routine vaccines that we agree upon and then give parents
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the ability to decide whether the others are right for
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: their kids.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So what do you think happens he signed the executive order?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: There's been pushback already from obviously Democrats, because no matter
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: what Trump says, they don't want any part of it.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But even a bunch of Republicans that always disappoint me,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I love it. You know, Republicans pushback. I can't stand it,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: but you got it. You know, Bilcacidis one of them.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: What do you think happens after Trump signs this EOC
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the future?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: What do you think happens here?
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Listen? I think what he's doing is saying to the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: American people by signing this order, we want gold standard
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: science to guide our childhood vaccine recommendations. We want states
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: that you know that that require kids to go to
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: school to be vaccinated. We want states to bring their
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: policies in line with what the gold the gold standard
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: child vaccine recommendations are. That's what we want. I think
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: that's going to roll forward. And you're right, it doesn't
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: matter what President Trump would say. You know, he could
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: be Mother Teresa and they'd say he was evil. He
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: could be my Monodies and they'd say he was stupid. Right,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: it's never some people you're never going to please.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Now, we'll screw him cares.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: The American Academy of Pediatrics just put out a statement
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: against all of these new standards.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Is what I'm being told.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: By one of the folks there on New Jersey who
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: fight for these parental and medical and religious freedoms every day.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That's correct to yeah, and that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: You know, and that again, I didn't say that, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: that may well be true. But let's face it, there's
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of these entities, these professional organizations, these societies
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: that will come out against President Trump and Secretary Kennedy.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And some of these are the same societies that said, yeah,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: we should tell little boys they can be little girls,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: and we should castrate them and give them chemicals. Little
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: girls can be little boys. You know, that's the kind
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: of people you got.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Well, that's you did a great job with that, Brian.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I got to give you credit for that. Then nothing
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: makes me more nauseous, Well maybe nothing, but serdly, a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: lot of things don't make me more nauseous than this
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: gender transition stuff. And I know that you worked very
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: very hard to block that federal funding. So in that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: one space right there, I consider you a hero.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I listen, Sid, I appreciate that because I think again,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I think I know that Secretary Kennedy, President Trump, we
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: know that our children are future are most vulnerable children,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: those children who are confused. What they need is compassion
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: and counseling. What they don't need is castrating, mutilating surgeries
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: and chemicals doing these things to them that cause harm
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: for the rest of their life. That's not at all
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: what they need. They don't need that kind of thing.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: They need counseling, They need care, they need love, They
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: need the kind of things that people like you and
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: me and the President the Secretary would give them.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: What do you think on the way out, Because I'm
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a big, big fan of these personally. I've taken them
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in the past, and I know how much they help,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: whether it's actually they almost serve said this to Bobby
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Kennedy last week as at GLP these days, but also
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in terms of injuries, get you heal much quicker, and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: your skin is better and you feel better. It's almost
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: like a growth home. And I'm talking, of course about peptides.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: You have any real opinion on the future of that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I personally to do. And you know what's
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: happened now, of course, is with that recent meeting that
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: was at the FDA where there was the vote of
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the committee to take these peptides, I think seven of them,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: and to say, yeah, listen, we need to make these
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: available through compounding pharmacies as they're being studied. Because remember,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: we never recommend anything in this administration without gold standard
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: science behind it. Let's let these peptides be studied, but
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: let them be produced by pharmacies in America so we
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: know what we're getting. We're not getting garbage from China. Personally,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I believe that peptides can have a real benefit. I
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: have used peptides in the past myself. I have certainly
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: had patients on peptides. I personally believe they can be
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: a benefit. I'm really hopeful that what's going to happen
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: through the FDAs. We're going to move forward in that
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: process and get those peptides in that list rescheduled so
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: they can be produced here in America safely, safely here
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: in America, so we can have access while they're being studied.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I'm a believer.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Final sixty seconds. My friend Gordon Chang comes on this
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: show quite a bit. He's always pushing the red button.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It's all over for us, and every day the Chinese
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: figuring out new ways to kill us. And he is
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: completely convinced that as we speak right now, Brian, you
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and I that they're in a lab somewhere in China
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: figuring out the next virus which will make COVID look
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: like kids play. I know you worked once again in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the response to the Hunter virus outbreak. You agree with Gordon,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Do you think that our enemies are hard at work
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: right now on the next virus created in a lab
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: doctor Fauci that can harm us it's in a big way.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I certainly believe that China is someone who is
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: going to advance their own agenda at the expense of
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the United States. There's no question about that. You know
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: when it comes you know when it comes to what
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: happened with doctor Fausci. I think as we're seeing these
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: texts come out, we see a man who sits and
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: takes the fifth what one hundred and sometimes that's going
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: to tell you something. Right, those things are telling you something.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I think we have to always be vigilant when there
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: are countries like Russia, or there are countries like China,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: they don't have our best interest at heart. We always
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: have to be always, always, always America first and stand
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: by our true allies wherever they may be.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Brian Christine, that's an excellent job. And I appreciate you
