Yeah.

The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
I appreciate it.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Well, it started when I was writing a column for National Review magazine about 10 years ago, and I created a character called David Kahane, the name of which I borrowed from the movie The Player, who's the screenwriter who gets murdered by the producer. And so I wrote the character as a crazy Hollywood leftist. And for years, no one knew who actually wrote that column.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And people were speculating and saying to NRO that you've gone lefty. And who is this person? And I finally came out of the closet as myself. But I decided that since I've been writing Kahane, I was his amanuensis. And that became the origin of my Twitter handle. Got it. And so here we are. I know it's hard to remember.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
I was just in Pasadena on Friday, as a matter of fact. Drew, I just came back from California. I spoke about Rage to Conquer over at the Lux Hotel at an event sponsored by David Horowitz Freedom and the American Freedom Alliance by Karen Sigmund. So we had a good crowd and it was nice to be back in L.A. I hadn't been back for a few years.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Well, let me just give you a little bit of background on myself. I started in newspapers in 1972. That was the summer of Watergate, and I was a young police reporter, cop reporter at the Rochester New York Democrat and Chronicle right out of college. And so we learned our journalism craft to report honestly what we saw.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
to call it as we saw it and without injecting any opinion in the process, insofar as that is possible. But there was such a thing as objectivity. I would disagree with you slightly. I will tell you that because I've known many of these guys who are at the top of the profession and still in the news right now for 50 years, half a century, they knew exactly what was wrong with Biden.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
They lied on purpose. They weren't delusional. They knew it was a problem. If you talk to them privately, as I did many, many times over the last five decades, they will tell you privately, You're right. Privately, Trump is not Hitler. Privately, Ronald Reagan wasn't a cowboy. Privately, we're not going to start World War III. But they were and are committed, committed to this cause.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And I had further experiences during the cause being what would define the cause for me. It's the leftist cause that that conservatism is Marxism.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Yeah, it's progressivism, I suppose we would call it now. But they tended to be politically liberal from the beginning. I worked at Time magazine, as you pointed out, Drew, for 16 years. And I never had a political conversation with any of my colleagues at Time. It just did not come up. But there's been a split. There's been a break.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And the old story was that if you were a political activist, you either went into the law or journalism. If you weren't smart enough to go to law school, you became a journalist. But you were still committed to the social justice cause.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And many of these men are my good friends, but I am appalled and ashamed, as I write against the corporate media in my own essay called A Higher Loyalty, that they chose to deliberately misrepresent the facts that were evident to all of us. And you were right about COVID, about the Russian hoax, all these things that men like you and me and our friends and colleagues called out at that moment.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
and were derided for. They just simply did not want to admit the truth. And what will happen with Biden is, as Tapper showed yesterday with Megyn Kelly, they'll take a certain amount of a beating and say, oops, and then they will go right out and do it again. They will not learn a single thing from this.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Well, the old joke is that all journalists deep down inside want to be screenwriters. They do. And that's because the beginnings of Hollywood, they actually were journalists who went out to Hollywood and became screenwriters. One of them famously wrote back to his partner in Chicago on one of the Chicago newspapers, you got to come out here. The money is great and the competition are schmucks.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And so many journalists feel they've got to frame this as a story. I'll tell you exactly when this started, Drew, and I can remember. It was the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan administration. Now, just by way of autobiography, between 1985 and 1991, I spent a great deal of time in East Germany, in East Berlin, and in Moscow, and in Leningrad, what was then Leningrad. I was...
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
in moscow and i was in leningrad when the chernobyl blew up uh i left russia just two weeks before the coup against gorbachev i was in berlin in 89 when the wall came down and i have pieces of it here in my house in in rural new england so i was already used to seeing state-run media and how the disparity had opened up in both of those societies between what was true and self-evident
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And what was official. And that is now has now come to the United States as far as our media is concerned.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Oh, it was Charles Corral. No, it wasn't Charles Corral.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
I don't think that's the right name. Yeah, Mike Wallace was part of that. There was a whole group of very distinguished. Yeah. Yes.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
That is absolutely correct. In my time in Eastern Europe and in the Soviet Union, you're generally accompanied by a translator or a babysitter, someone to watch, make sure you don't get into trouble. And in my private conversations with them, they were very frank about the true state of affairs. I like to tell people that in the Soviet Union, when I was there between 86 and 91,
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Literally, almost literally, every man was bribable and every woman was a freelance prostitute. Almost within a certain age group. So you could get your way by moving in the black interstices of that country. And that's how people flourished. They listened to all the rock music they could get. I had a friend there who basically bootlegged rock albums in the 80s from our American 60s and 70s.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And so just to say one last thing about this, I came back in the 80s. I went with Vladimir Horowitz, the famous great pianist. And President Reagan had us to the White House. And that was the episode where Nancy Reagan fell off the stage. But that's a whole other story. I went on the Lynn Samuel show in New York. And she was a leftist, liberal talk show host on WABC, I think. And I said in 86...
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
germany will be reunited within five years and everybody laughed at me and i was way off because it was three years that germany was reunited but if you this my point is if you're a good journalist or an honest journalist you go in objectively without preconditions and you could see these countries were doomed they were collapsing they had collapsed morally
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
but nothing worked the place was a mess it stank to high heaven there's a smell about communist countries you never get out of your nose and so when when they both came down i i wasn't surprised it's just that we were so committed and i must say our government uh especially the cia was so committed to the notion that the soviets were our antithesis another first world country with nuclear weapons
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And I said, you've got to be kidding. It's a third world country of peasants with nuclear weapons, which actually makes it more dangerous than you think it is. So I would just say, you know, to the point about the media, just tell the truth for God's sakes. It's not that hard. And don't let people badger you into framing it into some kind of overarching narrative, as you discovered on CNN.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Well, I think being 75 has taught me that wishes and reality sometimes don't coincide. But what we did in this book is I asked 40 other writers, many people of color,
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
very distinct uh distinctive and honorable bylines to attack the media from all sides so we did it as political entity we did it as an entertainment medium a number of us were critics i wrote a piece uh the two pieces that i wrote for the book one was about my experience as a music critic and functioning in the media. We did it about propaganda. We hit it from all angles that we could.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Not so much to say, how can we improve? Because that's the beginning. Objectivity. That's been thrown out now, Drew. It's interesting for me to hear some of my old colleagues at Time Magazine who are on Morning Joe regularly and have large Twitter followings and have been in the State Department. say, there's not two sides to every story. There's only one side.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And they were literally coming out during the election and saying, you cannot write anything good about Donald Trump. That is a violation of journalistic ethics. There is only one story to be told here. And when journalism gets to that part, then what's the difference between it and Pravda? That was my question. Nothing.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Yeah, well, there were two newspapers in the Soviet Union, Pravda and Izvestia. And Pravda means truth and Izvestia means news. And people would say there's no news in the truth and there's no truth in the news. And that was pretty much how they viewed their own state-run media. And the sad thing now, Drew, is that a lot of the European media is is turning into that.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
I live in Ireland half the year. I rebuilt my great-grandmother's birthplace. My whole family is there now. And the media in Ireland is entirely state-controlled, almost entirely. There are a couple of independent voices. But all you hear is the EU, EUSSR propaganda line. Untrammeled immigration is good. National borders are bad. Nationalism is bad.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And you see this struggle going on in Europe that, frankly, we saw in Eastern Europe in the late 70s and into the 80s. It's distressing to watch. But as you pointed out earlier, we never really do learn. We just get to keep doing the same dumb things over and over again.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Yeah, I hope not. I hope the EU falls. It's been very, very bad for Ireland. It's destroyed. As I like to say in Ireland, we were a slave state for 800 years under the British. They took our language. They took our property. They destroyed our homes. They starved us to death. They put us on coffin ships and sent us out.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
We had freedom for 100 years, and we couldn't wait to give it away to Brussels. Not if it ain't, I'd take London again compared to Brussels. But it's become a slave state of the EU, and it's very sad. But you're right. Hungary is a good example. I spent a lot of time in Hungary, and that's a wonderful country under Orban. And yet our media treats Orban like he's the second coming of Hitler.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
It's really disgraceful. I just think there's not enough honest people in journalism anymore. I think they're all activists now and they're taught to be activists and they think that's the job. And I come back to, so what's the difference between you and Pravda? In the end, there isn't any.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Yes. As a matter of fact, I wrote a review of it for some academic publication. I think that's Helen Pluckrose. And is it Lindsay? Yeah. Yeah.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Well, I wrote a book 10 years ago that turned out to be very influential on the right. It's called The Devil's Pleasure Palace, and it's about critical theory and the Frankfurt School. I mean, that's a whole other subject, but those people applied cultural Marxism, a phrase they deny that cultural Marxism exists, so you know it must exist. And they took it to every aspect of our lives.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And it really found root in academia. It started at Columbia and it moved all across the country. And we're dealing with the end stage of that now with what's going on at our major universities. They're collapsing under the weight, just as communism did, of reality eventually overtakes theory and reality.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Oh, it does. I'm pessimistic about the media as it's currently constituted.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
I think that's right. And that's what's cracking the media finally. And it's why they're collapsing. And it's why Tapper, who, by the way, used to be the press spokesman for Chelsea Clinton's mother-in-law. So Tapper goes back as a Democrat activist all the way back to Marjorie Margolis, Ms. Vinsky. These guys are folding under the pressure. He'll try to get away with it.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
He'll say, you know, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, and go on. But I think the audience is on to them. You know, as an author and a screenwriter, you make your living because of your audience, the way you do. And if your audience abandons you, there's nothing you can really do. You've done the damage or you've attracted the audience, and they depend on you to deliver what you believe is the truth.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And I think in that sense, the truth will out. But this media, as it's constructed, won't survive that because it can't. The New York Times and The Washington Post are too deep into it now.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Yeah, I hope so, too. I mean, he's friends with Jordan Peterson, whom I've known for a long time and respect. And, you know, you're seeing this with someone like Bill Maher, who I met 20 some years ago at the Aspen Comedy Festival. In fact, it was when Cadet Kelly came out. And I said to myself and to others, you know, Bill's not really a hardcore leftist.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
He's really kind of conservative in his own personal beliefs. He's a libertarian who wants to be left alone to do this and that. And he now feels, as he says all the time on his show, that I didn't leave the party. The party left me. And Dave Rubin is the same way. And there are a lot of those guys. We welcome them.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
under any circumstances they want to come and say yes this is the truth this is propaganda this is fantasy
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
You're absolutely right, Drew. And obviously, you've made some journey from X to Y over the course of your life. I mean, in many ways, I still am a 60s liberal kid. You know, I went to college at 87. Yes, me too.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Yes, right. Well, COVID was obvious to me that it was a scam. The Russia hoax was clearly an op that was foisted on the public via the media.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
and you say these things people look like you're like you're the crazy person and then later on when all the truth comes out and you say you know joe biden is a rutabaga and has been since god knows how long now and he's not a nice man and if you've spent any time around washington you know he's considered one of the stupidest and nastiest people in congress which is really saying something and we all knew this so we're sitting here going
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Yeah, okay, well, finally, everyone sees that the emperor has no clothes. But it's just about honesty and perception. And as a writer, I tell the truth. That's what I do. Whether it's in fiction or nonfiction or the books that I edit, I stand behind what I write. And I think that's the only way to approach life.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Well, that's a sequel to a book called Last Stance, which came out four years ago and was a big bestseller for Macmillan. And they immediately commissioned a second one and now a third one. It's about warfare and it's about masculinity. Chrissy was talking about Dylan Mulvaney. And so masculinity, having grown up in the Marine Corps, as I did, which is an odd way to

Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
It's not a question because it is who a man is. And in A Rage to Conquer, I take 12 battles throughout history and the commanders who led them and say, what characteristics do they share in person as men, as thinkers, as warriors?
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
So I start with Achilles and then Alexander the Great and Caesar and some generals most people haven't heard of, such as Aetius, the last of the Roman generals who fought Attila the Hun. Napoleon gets a big chapter. And then the third book, which I'm writing now, is called The Wrath of God. Give me one of the traits that they share. Give us a taste. Yes, I'll give you a taste.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
They know when they're in a battlefield situation what the other guy did a thousand years before. That they have a kinetic sense of the battlefield. This is really the important thing. Alexander had it. Napoleon had it. Which is, they know as they look at a battlefield,
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
that what's going to happen 10 minutes from now they know where the enemy is going to be and they're there and they nail him and alexander did it to darius three times in a row in his conquest of the persian empire napoleon did it most famously at austerlitz against the russians and the austrians um
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Caesar, what he did during the siege of Alesia, Beaumont of Toronto in the First Crusade does the same thing to the Turks and the Egyptian Fatimids during the siege of Antioch. So you find these common characteristics. They take command. They're not afraid.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
and they fight to the end sometimes they lose napoleon eventually lost but you know you've been to paris you know where he is he's right on display for the entire city to see at the uh so i found it very illuminating and now the third book's about religious warfare and how the most brutal fighting we have is over god

The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
um it's not i'm not going to argue that religion is the cause of war which is not the truth uh one might equally argue that war is the cause of religion when you start with the greeks and the ancient hebrews and from our common shared from 800 bc on but they are battles that are very very nasty because they are civil in a way civil wars uh among sex

Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And here you impose a narrative. I mean, as a writer, you're allowed to do that with these big books because you have to have a framework. Why am I talking about this? But once it gets going, it's hard work, but it's a lot of fun. And the readers have responded very well, I'm happy to say.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
The press believes, and this is kind of simple, that whatever they tell you is for your own good. And that you're a troglodyte and a Nazi and a whatever if you question what they do. Because their virtue... like Calpurnia is beyond, you cannot question it. And they've been in this business, I mean, I've been in it 50 years off and on. I did a 25 for real.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And they believe they're sort of a priest class to government. And they really are the handmaiden of the state. And I would hope that the young reporters who start way too early and get public platforms because of the internet far too soon so that they embarrass themselves with silly positions when they're 25 that Even years later, they're ashamed of. I wish we had a better media.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
I wish that reporters started the way my generation did, which was as a police reporter in a small or medium-sized city. So you saw violence. You saw social problems up close. You couldn't just read about it. It actually had to be there. When you see your first...

corpse when you see that when you smell the first house fire and and you'll never get that and you have this visceral reaction to these things if all you know is what you read on the internet you don't really know much at all unfortunately the-pipeline.org is that like a sub stack what is that Yes, that is. It's a website. It's moving to Substack. And it was for four years.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
I had a number of writers writing every day, mostly about energy issues, climate change. We did a lot on the COVID hoax from the beginning, which I'm assembling into a book. But it's now become more or less my personal website. So you can see the-pipeline.org or Michael Walsh at The Pipeline on Substack. And I'm writing once a week there.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And then I'm interviewing people that I think are interesting once a week as well. So maybe we'll talk again in that form at some point soon. I'd love it.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
Yes. Yes, I'm calling it After the Journal of the Plague Year, just like Daniel Defoe's fiction book.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
You know, it was the only movie that I've gotten actually produced and made. I've sold enough scripts to be a lifetime WGA writer now. But that was the easiest project in the world. My writing partner, Gail Parent, brought me on because I knew something about military stuff. And we wrote the script and Disney approved it.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
And the only hiccup in that movie was at one point, our creative executive said, well, we have a little problem with standards and practices. I said, what was it? Now, the movie's done, the script's done, everything's done. She said, I don't think we can use guns in this movie. And I said, it's about a military school and a drill team. That's what they use.
Ask Dr. Drew
The Deep State Media Is Still Lyin’ For Biden w/ Comedian Chrissie Mayr & Author Michael Walsh – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 485
So there is a disclaimer on this movie that says no actual guns were used in the making of this movie. But it was, and Hillary was great. And it was the highest rated movie and the highest rated show of any kind on the Disney Channel when it came out in 2002.
Ask Dr. Drew
