Chapter 1: Who is Dr. Simone Gold and what is her background?
I give specific examples why I'm pretty alarmed. at the infrastructure of tyranny that we really do have in our nation. And thank God we have a change in administration, but that infrastructure for tyranny is still there.
When you read how the FBI came and broke down my door, and you read how I was sent to a maximum security prison, these things couldn't have happened if we didn't have really an infrastructure for tyranny that's already here. So it's very eye-opening, but it reads rather like a John Grisham novel, quite frankly. You can't believe it's real.
So you need to make it into a movie so people or a documentary or both. I'm guessing that's coming.
I think, yeah, a lot of people should be a movie. It's kind of an Aaron Brockovich, you know, David Goliath thing. I went up against the federal government after me hard. I was attacked by the California Medical Board. I was attacked by the New York Bar. I was attacked by Congress. And a very interesting chapter relates how the federal government tried to plant narcotics on me.
Which would be the best way to take me down. And I have all the receipts. It's quite something.
And so what are your remedies for all this? And so you have your personal remedies. And then what do we as a citizenship need to do?
I wrote the book so that people can be armed with information. I don't want people to be depressed. We don't yet live in China. There are resources and one of them is just starting to being awake to the situations around us. One of my pleas in the book is that the ordinary American citizen doesn't comply with things when they seem bizarre.
It's heart wrenching that the FBI officers who were breaking down my door, once they got there, they clearly realized this was over the top, right? So I want an officer finds himself in that situation. to pause and to say, is this right? I want people to think in the moment. This was on the heels of my noticing during COVID that doctors and nurses were not doing the right thing.
They were just following orders. And so part of this is just kind of a wake up call so that you in your own life, no matter what job you have, a neighborhood you live in, when you see a tyrannical kind of infrastructure taking hold is to push back on that. So we do have recourses.

Chapter 2: What is the premise of Dr. Gold's book 'Selective Persecution'?
There you are. There you are.
Hello? Is this thing on? Okay. So I still disagree because if it was a couple of knuckleheads from the United States with the union mice and they let it leak by accident, it would be all over the news. It wouldn't because they made up this story about the pangolin. It makes me suspect China even more.
Look at the list here. Kelly Victory Noon on Thursday. And then we're going to try to switch to 2 o'clock because so many other shows are on at 3, so we're going to be at 2. Romeo Gendra and Sabine Hazan in here. It'll be very interesting. Salty Cracker coming back. What's that, Susan? Oh, yeah. I'll do that in a second. But...
I want to talk about our friends at Paleo Valley just a second before we wrap up. But there's a lot more coming. I'm really looking forward to that 26th show. Tom Renz has got some updates for us as well. And we have some updates about our friends at Paleo Valley. We'll talk about that very quickly. Of course, I just had bone broth for the show. It really helped me with my hunger.
And of course, we just had a grandchild born. It reminds me that during our days, Susan... sleepless nights, brain fog when our triplets were infants. Paleo Valley's protein products at the time could have been very helpful. I was living on Dove bars, if you remember that at the time. This is much, much, much better nutrition. Much.
The processed meat sticks, like the venison chicken, beef, the venison and... beef are grass fed, the chicken is pasture raised. The company is a unique method of fermentation that is chemical free. Again, they're exquisitely careful with everything they provide. Susan and I also would love the chocolate and the salted caramel grass fed bone broth.
Yeah, we mentioned our bottomless coffee, which is three pots a day, something like that. Yeah, we put Palo Valley into it. Palo Valley's bone broth protein powder is made from bones, not hides. And of course, not only us, but my son and daughter-in-law swear by it as well. It is delicious. It is a great source of protein. It's collagen. And we can't give this a little one just yet.
Go to dotdrew.com slash pay the value for 15% off your first order, 20% off when you subscribe, which we highly recommend. Again, collagen, high quality protein.
And it tastes good too.

Chapter 3: How does Dr. Gold describe the response to COVID-19?
No. Hang on. No. Dude, I'm Googling it.
It's drdrew.com slash shop.
I mean, you could probably get to it from all of those, Susan, but... Oh, shop is for the bobbleheads. She just put it up on the website.
No, drdrew.com.
That will give you the bobblehead.
And you get 12, a case of 12 for $35.99. If you want to go to the shop, let's see if that's... Okay, hold on.
We're looking at everything. Uh-oh. Okay.
Yeah, if you want to go to products that we have, all our good products, you know, CWC and all the great products, then you go shop. Dr. Drew.com. It's very confusing. And I don't know why it ended up like that, but we have to, we have to get rid of some of these bobbleheads.
Well, this is great radio by the way, because we can't hear Susan.
