Returning to The Brian Nichols Show today is Dr. Patrick Moore (Author, "Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom") to discuss how most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs. Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists - all of whom have a huge financial ...

"A normal regular gasoline vehicle has somewhere in the region of 800 to 1000 semiconductors. An EV has more than double that."

"The word freedom is very important, because it's not discussed freely and openly and courageously in academia."

Why does a new study suggests that almost half of those hospitalized with COVID-19 have mild or asymptomatic cases?

Government mandates and the long-term harm done to behavioral development of kids might have something to do with it.

Why has medical care become so complicated—and expensive?

Freedom makes sense because not freedom is not only nature... freedom is science!

What if the Science shows that lockdowns, masks, and government restrictions were actually anti-Science all along?

What are the two emotions that drive buyers into action? Love and...? Fear. Knowing that, how is fear being using to sell us on massive government policies with price tags ranging from the billions and even trillions of dollars. Dr. Patrick Moore is one of the co-founders of Greenpeace and joins the program today to outline how easily fear can be used to motivate policy, actual science be damned, and how the contemporary environmental movement has focused less on saving the environment than it is being anti-humanity.

The data, facts, and realities of COVID were far away from what the media and public health institutions were presenting to the world at the advent of the pandemic. And while the controlling narrative was that of lockdowns and fear in response to COVID, organizations like PANDA have been working with some of the top minds in public health, focusing on the hard data and analytics of the pandemic to help *save lives*. Returning to the program is Nick Hudson, co-founder of PANDA, who just gave an amazing talk at the inaugural BizNews Investment Conference where he crushed the common myths and misconceptions promoted by pro-lockdown, anti-science politicians and unelected bureaucrats. What do epidemiologists and immunologist think of Dr. Fauci? What's the story about the COVID variants? Are asymptomatic people a danger to others? All that (and more) discussed on today's special BONUS episode.

"We needed to lock down out of an abundance of caution. We didn't know what the virus was going to do." Ya'll have heard that before, right? Well, believe it or not, some of us have been raising the red flag from the very beginning that the government response to COVID (like the government lockdowns) would lead to more unintended long term consequences versus simply letting people/the market adjust. Today's episode is a highlight of four guests from The Brian Nichols Show who were raising the alarm from the beginning. (April 2020)109: COVID-19 vs. the Economy: Could A Crumbling Economy Cause More Death than COVID-19? -with Economist Daniel J.

With the recent shutdowns in Texas due to the massive winter storm and associated power outages, the idea of energy independence is back at the top of people's minds. So, how do we juggle the pursuit of energy independence while also being conscious of our greater impact on the environment? Jack Kerfoot is a scientist, energy executive and author of FUELING AMERICA: An Insider’s Journey, and joins the show to make his case that climate change and energy independence requires us removing government roadblocks to the development of new renewable energy projects, and providing incentives to attract the people and resources necessary.

COVID-19 is a threat. Yes, it's a very real disease that kills lots of people. However, the government lockdowns and the related intrusions on civil liberties pose a serious threat not only to lives, but to civilization itself—a threat must be resisted. At this juncture, the science is quite clear on what key policy responses should be—or should have been. But this is no longer about the science, if it ever was. What is required now is a mobilization against what is essentially an enormous public relations machine that is fuelling fear and removing agency from people’s lives the world over. Today's guest is Nick Hudson from PANDA (Pandemics ~ Data & Analytics). PANDA is a collective of leading scientists, actuaries, economists, data scientists, statisticians, medical professionals, lawyers, engineers and businesspeople working as a collective to replace bad science with good science.
