NY Times FINALLY Reports On Hunter Biden’s Burisma Corruption!
01:00:59 Share

Hey, come see us on tour. We'll be in Chicago, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Duluth, Georgia, right outside of Atlanta, Jacksonville, Florida, Tempe, Arizona, and Burbank, California. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for those tickets.

So guess what? This is inconceivable. Now that Joe Biden's not running...

CNN mentioned Burisma, Ukraine, and a fee company that paid Hunter Biden while Biden was vice president. So you remember all that stuff that was called conspiracy theorists and crazy in the CIA 51? They said you're lying. Well, it turns out it was all true. And now that Joe Biden's not running for president anymore, the New York Times, CNN, the mainstream news media gets to report on it.

Isn't that a warning to Biden to shut his trap? After attacking and smearing Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski, the New York Times, now a story at the New York Post and Fox News reported in October 2020. So now the New York Times is doing a story after they smeared that guy that the New York Post and Fox News reported in 2020. And then Twitter and Facebook censored it.

Wow. Here we go. Kate. And Caitlin, there's also this new reporting coming from the New York Times that Hunter Biden asked the State Department for help with

On behalf of Ukrainian gas company Burisma. Now, well, it's 2024. Now it's like, what? We've been reporting this shit for, it feels like, five years. Yeah, it's weird, right? Isn't it weird? Now CNN is like, hey, did you hear that the New York Times is reporting there's some kind of money deal? Well, I hadn't heard that. With the Bidens and Burisma, there's some kind of shady business going on?

What? You know, I had a friend ask me, do you think that Hunter Biden laptop is even real? Do you understand how far out you got to be to be on board with CNN world? They didn't even think he had a laptop that was found.

I mean, dude, this is not for you. This is for the idiots at home that are programmed to go with Kamala now for no apparent reason. That's right. That's right. Because Cenk Uygur and Kyle Kulinski and Crystal Ball say that it's cool. She's going to be better than Biden because those people are all paid for liars. Okay, here we go. Is Orfila making a back and forth punching result? I have a little piece of reporting coming from the New York Times that Hunter Biden asked the State Department for help on...

on behalf of Ukrainian gas company Burisma. And this was at a time when his father, Joe Biden, was vice president. Oh, my God. You mean that thing that Jimmy Dore on YouTube has been reporting for five straight fucking years? Oh, my God. They finally caught on over at CNN. Okay. Yeah, we're learning all of this now that his father is no longer running for a second term in office. We're learning all of this now. No, you're...

No, you mean you're not. What they mean is they're not ignoring it anymore. Yeah. That's what they mean. The embargo has been lifted officially. Yeah, we're just learning this. Apparently. I got a thousand people at the newsroom over my shoulder, but we're just learning this now. Jimmy Dore in his garage figured this out five fucking years ago. Wow.

Okay. State Department is releasing some information obtained by the New York Times that Hunter Biden back in 2016, when he was a board member at this Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, he reached out to folks in the U.S. embassy in Italy and wanted some

some help. He wanted some networking for Burisma and they, they bought pretty quickly. Hey, what's the big deal about the time tester tradition of inviting your own son into the family business of abject deceit and corruption?

Do you not believe in America? Yeah. I'll quote somebody. They all do that. Somebody who hates Trump. Yeah. You bring this up. They all do that. They all do that. Internal information that the Times was able to obtain through the...

So that's CNN reporting. And here's the New York Times. Hunter Biden sought State Department help for Ukrainian company after the President Biden dropped his reelection bid. His administration released records showing that while he was vice president, his son solicited U.S. government assistance. You didn't need him to release that info. We already knew this. Did they obtain the information from other better news sources from five years ago where they just recently obtained this? Wow.

Now his protection is gone because his dad is a lame duck. So now his protection is gone. Better not drop his gun somewhere. So Fredo Biden is looking out at Lake Tahoe right now, if you know what I'm saying. Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a potentially lucrative energy project in Italy.

Or you say Italy. I say Italy. Italy, while his father was vice president, according to newly released records. The records which the Biden administration had withheld for years. Imagine if this was Trump. Imagine if this was Trump. Could you believe he held those records? I can't believe that he didn't do something like that. What I'm the most shocked at is they didn't find something like this on him. And Trump certainly looked. I know.

So here we go. Indicate that Hunter Biden wrote at least one letter to the U.S. ambassador to Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where he was a board member who didn't have to show up for work. Am I right about that? OK, but by the way, it's OK. Now, CNN has given the all clear. We can all talk about this, Kurt.

And when they say that it's corruption, you can completely switch directions in mid-flight. No need to apologize to everyone you belittled for seeing this five years ahead of time like we did. You have clearance from your TV news network. And that's like the VIP card to the top floor. It certainly is. And I'm worried about when Joy Behar, who pronounces Italy the same way you pronounce Italy, when she finds out she couldn't go on vacation to Italy because of these hijinks with Hunter Biden. Right.

The embassy officials appear to have been uneasy. I don't feel easy. I bet you it was actually easy and they did not feel uneasy. I bet you they did feel it. With requests from the son of the sitting vice president on behalf of a foreign company. I want to be careful about promising too much, wrote a Commerce Department official based in the U.S. Embassy in Rome.

Who was tasked with responding. This is a Ukrainian company and purely to protect ourselves, USG should not be actively advocating with the government of Italy without the company going through the DOC advocacy center. Okay. Let's do some lines and see what happens, man. Let's go out tonight, do some blow, and we'll work it out.

So those, what do you call those acronyms? The USG and DOC, they refer to the United States government and a Department of Commerce program that supports American companies that seek business with foreign governments. Wasn't Ron Brown in the Department of Commerce with those other people in that plane that crashed? So I think so. Yeah. So what's the big deal? I mean...

Isn't that always the way that he did that? He tried to get some state officials with a conscience. Isn't that the way it always is? You're trying to get your government to do a little favor for a no-show job you got in the Ukraine because your dad's vice president, and then some state official with a conscience is stepping in and ruining your plans. Yeah.

I don't think it's a conscience, Jimmy. The way I'm reading that, Department of Commerce, when you have Whitney Webb, I'm talking about the bizarre thing of having Ron Brown go through the Department of Commerce. It sounds to me like they're going, hey, there's an established criminal organization to go through. Is this officially sanctioned by the mob? That's how I read that. Because he's not going, that's illegal. He's going, hey, I want to be careful. Hey, this looks like mafia talk.

I mean, that's the whole point of sending you all the way over there. You don't have to act that ethically when you're that far away from home, right? Go to the DOC. Go to the DOC who normally handles the criminal shit. Yeah. So, I mean, how...

So Abe Lowell, a lawyer for Mr. Biden, said his client asked various people, including the U.S. ambassador to Italy at the time, John R. Phillips, whether they could. How do you get to be ambassador to Italy? What do I got to frickin do?

To become the ambassador to Italy. You don't want to know. You don't want to know. Maybe you're right. And I bet he asked various people while high-fiving over a hooker that they were spit-roasters. Okay. So they asked this guy, John Phillips, who was the ambassador to Italy at the time, whether they could arrange an introduction between Burisma and the president of the Tuscany region of Italy where Burisma was pursuing a geothermal project. Okay.

They're known for not being corrupt in that region, too. So it's actually, do you know how corrupt that is? That area already that he, it's already like weird that he, this is crazy. So guess what, though, Kurt? No meeting occurred. No project materialized. No request for anything in the U.S. was ever sought. And only an introduction in Italy was requested.

Mr. Lowell said in a statement, calling the outreach by Mr. Biden a proper request. It probably was. This isn't the State Department announced proudly. I held the money. So, right. Well, just an overall observation here, Kurt. How blatantly corrupt do you have to be to get rejected by a regional political figure in Italy? Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. That's exactly right. Exactly. Exactly. The State Department did not release the actual text of the letter.

Oh, thank God. If they do release it, I will assume it's fake and out of the Putin playbook. A White House spokesman said the president was not aware when he was vice president that his son was reaching out to the U.S. embassy in Italy. I didn't know. Just reaching out.

Pedophile Peter and his son's phone. Pedophile Peter. Pedophile Peter. Pedophile Peter. No. The department's release of documents to the New York Times came shortly after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race. Isn't that quite a timing? And as his son prepares to stand trial next month on charges of evading taxes on millions of dollars in income from Burisma and other foreign businesses. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Get ready for a pardon coming. Yep, right. I bet he does pardon. Biden's going to get his brain together to get that pardon. I bet he gets that pardon. Mr. Biden's outreach to the U.S. Embassy in Rome on behalf of Burisma, which has not been previously reported, echoes other episodes for which he has been criticized for implicitly leveraging his father's political clout to try to advance his foreign businesses. Wow.

The embassy outreach was revealed in emails released by the State Department to the Times in response to a request for the public records from officials at the United States Embassy in Romania related to efforts by Mr. Biden and other Americans to assist the real estate developer. Right?

The request was initially filed under the Freedom of Information Act, or a FOIA, in June of 2021. After nearly eight months, the State Department had not released any records. About 18 months later, the department moved to close the case after releasing thousands of pages of records, none of which shed light on Hunter Biden's outreach to the United States government. Really? Really?

The Times challenged the thoroughness of the search, noting that the department had failed to produce responsive records

contained in the cache or cache of files connected to a laptop that Mr. Biden had abandoned at a Delaware repair shop. No responsive records, Kurt. Is that your way of saying that the porn was wasn't freaky enough for you? Is that what you're saying? Is that how jaded you are? The department resumed the search and periodic productions.

but had produced few documents related to Mr. Biden until the week after his father endorsed his reelection campaign and ended his reelection campaign and endorsed Vice President Harris for the Democratic nominees. Isn't that something, how that works? Or the guy who was wearing a Joe Biden skin mask endorsed her? Is that what you're saying? The guy eight inches taller than him? Or the AI? Or the whatever? And whenever somebody tells you that the timing is completely coincidental...

squeak right that's code for them being directly involved with it occurring that's what i think the department said he see they said it was just coincidental the state department official said it was coincidental kirk i mean really really how many of these coincidences are going to pile up over the course of your whole fucking life before you notice it's not a coincidence a person familiar with the timing or the timing

Said the release of the Italy documents was planned by the State Department weeks before the president announced his decision. I bet it was. I bet it was because they prepare way ahead of time in case they got to do what they just did. These mother efforts. These mother efforts. It's not incompetence. It's malice. It's not incompetence. It's malice. I like how they say a person familiar with the timing.

What is that supposed to mean? You mean like a comedian? Familiar with the timing? Because the whole thing sounds like a comedy bit. It's unreal, man. It really is unreal. A person familiar with the time. The records are likely to fuel suspicion among Republicans or anybody who's got a thinking brain. Why would you write that? Just because Republicans...

Oh, people are probably going to say this thing looks like a crime and obviously because they're Republican. Do you understand how suspicious it is to write that sentence? Yes. Hey, your shit's missing. You're probably going to say I stole it just because I was in your house when you weren't here. Because you're a Republican. That's unbelievable. Unbelievable. The records are... Kurt, get this. This is an amazing paragraph. The records are likely to fuel suspicion among Republicans...

I'm not a Republican and it's fueling my suspicion. I don't believe in America and it fuels my suspicion. Republicans who had spent years spotlighting the younger Mr. Biden's foreign business

as a blotch on his father's career. They just validated every, so they did know every single thing and they're validating it by saying that. That's what that means. What does it take to put a blotch on a politician's career? How about advocating for genocide, funding a genocide, advocating for every war in my lifetime and being wrong about it? How about making it illegal for us to get rid of your student debt?

in a bankruptcy how about crushing railroad strikes how about how about plagiarizing other politicians speeches so you could run for president what does it take to get a fucking blotch

uh telling the truth one time when you've been a liar and they liked you like when you're trumping yeah whatever you're supposed to and then you told the truth like a couple of times at most how about bringing our how about bringing our economy into being a third world status how about starting more wars than the nation could ever possibly support how about funding genocides across the globe is that not enough he must have some wash and wear no stain slacks i mean if anybody needed him right

So, Kurt, guess what? The Republicans claimed validation when prosecutors hinted at Hunter Biden's exposure last week. Why? Just because they were validated?

This is, I think, the biggest political corruption scandal in our history's lifetime. Representative James R. Comer, a Kentucky Republican and the chairman of the Oversight and Accountability Committee, said on Newsmax last week, I don't know, I think probably COVID and the vaccine rollout, lockdowns, masking children. I think all that, lying about the COVID origin, funding the COVID. I think that was probably the biggest thing.

That's probably way bigger. How about the Iraq war? I've already moved on. Sorry, Jimmy. How about 9-11? How about 9-11? Oh, it's in the past. Okay. Let bygones be bygones. That's what Martin Borman used to say.

So who said this? A Kentucky Republican and the chairman of the Oversight and Accountability Committee. He said on Newsmax last week after the prosecutor's filing about Mr. Biden's outreach for his Romanian client.

I'll bet you it's not the biggest scandal. Well, while Mr. Comer's committee had released a number of reports chronicling Hunter Biden's work for foreign companies, it did not produce any evidence related to his outreach to the USA. Maybe because it's all hidden. You think? No, I don't think at all or do research. Wow.

A businessman involved in the project said the outreach was undertaken at the request of Burisma when the company or its partners were having trouble securing regulatory approval for a geothermal energy project in Tuscany.

That's a weird thing. Tuscany is known for its access to geothermal power, Kurt, creating brisk competition for companies seeking to enter the space. It is not clear whether the U.S. Embassy went to bat for Burisma. The project fizzled before it ever began. Drilling in Tuscany, according to the person involved in the geothermal power. Like any good businessman, Hunter Biden was merely pursuing a way to harness the energy coming straight up from hell.

So that's just one little, Hunter Biden has millions of dollars in corruption with China, with Ukraine, with Italy, with Romania. The guys, I mean, the whole family is a corrupt family.

Did he screw up a slam dunk corruption deal, by the way, by doing it wrong? Did he screw this up? I think he did. Why wouldn't this deal go through? Somehow he screwed it up.

I'm not an expert on any of this. I'm not a biologist. I'm a comedian. But there was more nuance to this latest thing in the Olympics, right? Because that boxer was born. Let me just tell you what I think and then you can tell me. Okay, great. So she was...

I was my understanding was that she is a very narrow category of person that has an XY chromosome, but also has a vagina and has testes inside. And she was raised as a as a girl and all that stuff. But.

She tested high for testosterone, not high for a woman, but actually in the range of a man, testosterone. She wasn't trans-feminine.

It wasn't one of those situations. So it's a little more nuanced then, but she was XY chromosome, and that typically means you're a male, but there was a little bit of nuance. So go ahead, tell me what- It's true. That's almost 100% correct what you just said. So-

Do you remember Castor Semenya? No, I do not. Okay. Castor Semenya was a track and field athlete, same condition that these boxers have. Has Olympic gold medals, is now no longer permitted because World Athletics, which is the international governing body for track and field, has said, if

If you're an ex, you have to be XX to compete in women's sports. That's their determination. It's governed by each of the individual governing bodies. So Caster Semenya does not have to give back her or his medals. I don't know what the person goes by at this point. The person is married to a female and the person has fathered two children. So male. What?

Yes. So here's what this person has. And here's why it's linked to the trans ideology, because the language was brought to us by trans ideology. So there's a category of.

I guess they're called DSDs and they're sort of differences in sexual development. And there's a whole range of them and they impact very small percentage of the population. This one is called 5-ARD, 5-ARD. So they're genetically male now. And keep in mind, the boxer, Imani Khalif is Algerian. So probably not like the most advanced medical situation in that country. Right. Yeah.

Probably not. So but I think even people in more advanced countries don't know when they're born, because it appears to your point, like they have a vagina, basically, they have underdeveloped male genitals, and the testicles are inside and the penis is underdeveloped, and it appears to be a vagina. But here's the thing, they don't end up getting their period and they do go through male puberty. And at that point, they do develop

Male genitalia. Oh, so you're saying that that boxer didn't go through puberty as a female? She went through puberty? Well...

They're being very cryptic. But what it seems like, and there's been more information that's come out in the last few days, is that these boxers, the international, the IAB, which is the governing body for boxing, did testing at world championships last year for these two boxers, the Taiwanese boxer and the Algerian. And they both tested for XY chromosomes.

Now, there's additional information coming out that their trainers knew and that, you know, when they were boxing in Spain at some major competition, they were always paired for sparring with males because they were injuring all the women. This has all been reported in various publications. So, you know, my suspicion is and again, everybody's being very cryptic, is that

They were not necessarily born female, but they were raised probably until 12 or 13, believing they were female. I have a lot of empathy for these people. It's a really difficult thing. But at a certain point, they did know that they were male and they continued to.

to box or chose to box against women because they have an advantage. The Olympics, the IOC does not test for sex. They say there is no reliable test for sex eligibility. Well, that is a chromosome test would be right. I mean, that's what I would think.

Yes, they say that's no longer reliable. The science has changed. So this is why I say it's brought to you by trans ideology, because trans or gender ideology, they brought us if you say you're a woman, you're a woman, it's vibes. If you feel like a woman you are. And so the IOC is saying we're not doing that testing, because the

There's this other science, which none of us are aware of, that says if you feel like a woman, you are. It's astonishing. I mean, that is what the corruption of language is. It leads us down this path. You know, it's why I will no longer say trans women are women. I don't really think I ever said that, but they're not. They can be trans and they can be whatever they want to be and they can dress however they want, but they are not women. It's not the same.

So I had, I mean, you know, I've always been a supporter of LGBTQ and you shouldn't be discriminated against when it comes to, you know, housing or marriage or.

or employment and any of that thing, and that you should be given the same dignity and respect to a trans person as you want for yourself, right? And I think that attitude makes me an ally of the LGBTQ community. But then when you get into the area of sports or what is people not being able to define what a woman is,

It starts to get into, it starts to be absurd.

Yeah. And the problem, because I am in your camp, look, I, you know, lived in San Francisco for 35 years. I worked in the fashion industry. You know, most of the people I knew in San Francisco are gay. I fought for gay marriage. I marched in the streets for it. You know, yes to all of that. But if you give in on the language and you acknowledge or you say you're willing to kind of concede this point that trans women are women, then how do you say, but they can't compete in women's sports?

Right. I don't understand what's wrong with being a trans woman. I don't understand why that's so... Just be that. I do know, I did see a video of a gentleman went to a pride parade and went up to...

women and called them trans and they're like, I'm not tram a real woman. So they got he kind of got them on their at their own game, which was kind of interesting to see. Yeah, that but women born biological women and don't want to be called trans.

So that is different. Well, I wish I wasn't 5'3". I don't know. Like, you are what you are. Like, I'm short. What are we going to do about this? Let me tell you one other quick story. In the same Olympics with all this controversy over these two boxers who did win gold, they didn't lose a single round leading up to the gold medal match. They didn't lose a single round in the whole thing. There was also a female boxer who says she's a trans man, Filipino. Guess what category that person boxed in?

The women's? Yeah. She says she's a man. Why does she box in women's? So there is a corruption of, I will admit there is definitely a, you know, but I think it's, I didn't know that. I only knew about this, the one Albanian. I would try to say the name, but I can't pronounce it. I didn't know this. It's a Filipino boxer. I read about it in an

an LGBTQ publication. She says she's a man. She doesn't take testosterone. That would not allow her to compete in the women's category because they do test for testosterone. But he says, I consider myself a man because my heart says so. Oh, but physically, that person is a woman, right? So they don't have tired testosterone and they have XX chromosomes.

Yes. So I'm fine with this person competing in women's. That's where they should compete. Just like the male boxers should compete in men's. Okay. Yes. That's, um, I mean, I, I definitely have, you know, uh, sympathy or empathy or whatever the real, the word is that applies that I have, you know, my heart goes out to that, that boxer who was born X, Y and, you know, but at, at the same time,

At the same, you have to, someone has to defend women's sports. That's a reason why they have different categories. Yeah. I mean, there's a reason to your point in 1972 that Title IX passed so that women could have equal opportunity. If women had to compete against men, they would never make the team. They would never make the squad. They would never get a scholarship. They would never make anything. So there is a reason, but even,

Title IX is on the chopping block at this point because it's been rewritten by the Department of Education. You know, I think you raised Riley. So Riley did have to swim in the 2022 NCAA Championships against Will Thomas, formerly Lee, sorry, against Leah Thomas, formerly Will Thomas. Now here, this demonstrates the advantage. As a male swimmer, Will Thomas was ranked 462nd in the country. It's pretty comical.

In one year, less than one year, same training, same school, same everything. He was ranked in the top three across a variety of races. Now, of course, people say, oh, trained really hard. Anyone who's been an athlete knows you don't leap 450 spaces because of tough training in one year. Right. I mean, you know, um,

And Serena Williams talks about this on the David Letterman show about how it's a totally different sport, female tennis and male tennis, and that the most mediocre of men tennis pros could beat her. Yeah. Go ahead. Does she still say it, though? She said that a while ago. I don't know if she'd still say it. Well, I know that she decided to challenge...

a male who was ranked like 214th or something. And he beat her while smoking a cigarette and drinking beer. So after he played 18 rounds of golf that morning or 18 holes of golf. And so that's a, and that's a, you know, that's a story that I've reported on this show. So yeah,

that it doesn't make it, you know, it doesn't serve anybody to deny biology. And that's so, so now you have this clothing and it's called XXY. And look, you even, it looks like you got Kanye West to do, that's not Kanye West, but it looks kind of like that. I don't know, but yeah, probably I would avoid that at this point. So you, yeah, right. So you have, so you, so that's, so how is that, how's that going?

How's your clothing company going? It's good. We just launched about four months ago. So we're brand spanking new. Um, but given, you know, I think that the, um, attention on this issue in particular, you know, with the Olympics and the rewrite of title nine has really caused people to lean in. You know, I think a lot of people wanted to sit this one out, but now they're going, wait a minute, this is really unfair. I want my daughter to say, have the same opportunities I had. So, um,

Yeah, they're leaning in and we're experiencing tremendous support. We're kind of way ahead of our projections. And it's also a really good product. You know, it's the performance product, the leggings, the moisture wicking, all of it, the tanks and tees. I mean, our return rates are like under 5%, which is crazy. And apparel online shopping, it's usually 25%. So I think people come for the mission and the message, but they stay because the product is actually good. Okay. Yeah.

All right. And it said it's xx-xy.com? xx-xyathletics.com. But you could also go to thetruthfits.com. Okay. All right. Well, Jennifer, it's great to talk to you again. I wish you good luck with your new venture. And we'll see you soon. Thanks for having me, Jimmy. Have a good one. All right. You too. This is The Great Cholesterol Scam.

You've been scammed. Remember you were scammed on skin cancer. It turns out sun's actually good for you. And if you, if you don't get enough sun, you get the kind of cancer that actually kills you. And the kind of cancer you get from the sun is not as deadly. So anyway, so this is from Pierre Corey. He says to sell statins. We were told cholesterol damages arteries. In reality, it repairs arterial injury.

Yeah, it's not the cholesterol that damages your artery. It actually repairs when your artery has a rupture. Statins, statins, they want everybody on statins, don't prevent death and give 20% of its users muscle, liver, and nerve damage. Dog creation. Did you know that? If you know someone on a statin, please read this. This is from Midwestern Doc Substack.

So Robert F. Kennedy actually tweeted out, brave dissident doctors like Pierre Corey can help clear away the smoke of corporate profiteering so that we can see clearly the causes and solutions to the chronic disease epidemic. The great cholesterol scam and the dangers of statins. That's what this is called. Get this. So in the 1960s and 70s, a debate emerged about what causes heart disease. One side said,

On one side was a guy named John Yudkin, effectively argued that sugar being added to our food by the processed food industry was the chief culprit of heart disease. On the other side was someone named Ansel Keys, who attacked Yudkin's work, argued that it was due to saturated fat and cholesterol. And now we know the rest of the story, don't we? Yeah.

that it's actually sugar and fat and cholesterol aren't bad for you, but let's read on. Wait, it says a case can also be made of mass adoption of vegetable oils. A case can also be made that the mass adoption of vegetable oil leads to this increase in heart disease. Well, that's what we were just talking about, seed oils. Ansel Keys won this debate.

the guy who said it was fat and cholesterol. Youngkin, the guy who said it was sugar, he was largely dismissed, and keys became the nutritional dogma. What are they, the president of fucking, if something causes a heart, are they the president of that? Why are two guys debate the end-all, be-all?

Well, let's read on, Kurt. A large part of Key's victory was based on his study of seven countries. He studied Italy, Greece, former Yugoslavia, Netherlands, Finland, America, and Japan, which showed that as saturated fat consumption increased, heart disease increased in a linear fashion. So there was that correlation. They made it into causation. However, what many don't know is

And as this study is still frequently cited, is that this result was simply a product of the country that that guy chose. If that guy would have chose different countries like Finland, Israel, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France and Sweden, the opposite would have been found. So he just chose the countries that aligned with his hypothesis. If he would have chose those countries, it wouldn't have showed up.

What, another one of these stories? This is the story of every single thing. So fortunately, Kurt, it gradually became recognized that Ansel Keys did not accurately report the data he used to substantiate his arguments in the first F in place.

For example, recently an unpublished 56-month randomized study of 9,423 adults living in state mental hospitals or a nursing home, which made it possible to rigidly control their diets, that Keyes was the lead investigator on, was unearthed. So this guy Keyes did this study of 9,423 people in hospitals,

And the study inconveniently found that replacing half of the animals, meaning saturated fats, they ate with vegetable oil, meaning corn oil, it lowered their cholesterol. So if you replace the saturated fat with corn oil, it lowers your cholesterol. But get this. And for every 30 points that their cholesterol dropped, their risk of death increased by 22%.

So lowering your cholesterol, according to this, doesn't make you less likely to die, which roughly translates to 1% drop in cholesterol, raising the risk of death by 1%. So for roughly every 1% you drop your cholesterol, it raises your risk of death by 1%. So what I'm hearing, what this is saying, I'm not saying it, what this is saying is that

This study that was never published says that lowering your cholesterol is actually bad for you. Oh, well, thank God they take their time with vaccines and really do a thorough job because this is scary. Likewise, recently, one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world published internal sugar industry documents, internal sugar industry documents.

They showed the sugar industry had used bribes to make scientists place the blame for heart disease on fat so Youngkin's work would not threaten the sugar industry. You're kidding. Scientists are just as corrupt as every other motherfucker in any other place in the world? Yes. I view them as the clergy of our rational modern society. They are not. So in turn, it is now generally accepted that Youngkin was right.

But nonetheless, our medical guidelines are still largely based on Key's work, saying that fat and cholesterol are the culprits. However, despite a significant amount of data that now shows lowering cholesterol is not associated with a reduction in heart disease, the need to lower cholesterol is still a dogma within cardiology. I had a doctor try to get me on statins to lower my cholesterol. I refused it.

Before I read this article, I knew what to stay away from statins. For example, how many of you have heard of the 1986 study which was published in The Lancet, which concluded during 10 years of follow up from December 1st, 1986 to October 1st, 1996, a total of 642 participants died.

For each one MMO increase in total cholesterol corresponded to a 15% decrease. So if you increase the cholesterol, it decreased the risk and mortality. Wow, they knew this a long time ago, huh? They knew this in 1996.

Well, it's good I'm hearing it now. I've never watched my cholesterol, so I guess I did good with that. By the way, let me tell you something. I've been eating three, four tablespoons of butter for breakfast since, I don't know, 1999. And I don't watch any of my fat or anything. And I had my heart checked with echocardiograms and CTs. And after my vaccine injury, and my cardiologist said, you have zero blockage.

Zero. So do you know why I don't eat a lot of sugar? One of the consistent patterns I've observed within medicine is that once a drug is identified that can beneficially change a number, meaning change the number of your cholesterol or your blood pressure, that...

that medical practice guidelines will gradually shift to prioritizing treating that number. And before long, rationales will be created that require more and more of the population to be subject to that regimen. Yeah. In the case of statins, Kurt, prior to their discovery, it was difficult to reliably lower cholesterol. But once they hit the market, statins,

research rapidly emerged stating that cholesterol was more and more dangerous and hence the more and more people needed to be on statins. So once statins hit the market, they went out and created these studies that said cholesterol is really dangerous and you got to lower it because we found a drug that lowers it. Do you remember, um, what's her name from a three's company that had the thigh master? I saw Larry King talking about statins. Suzanne Summers. You're like, yeah, statins are good. She was talking about blood pressure with him on, uh,

Later on that time. As you would expect, similar increases also occurred in the United States. For example, in 2008-2009, 12% of Americans over 40 reported taking a statin, whereas in 2018-2019, that number had increased to 35% of Americans are taking statins. With just in 10 years...

Given how much these drugs are used, it then raises a simple question. Well, how much benefit do they produce? I've got to see their books at the pharmaceutical company. Hold on to your balls. As it turns out, this is remarkably difficult to question, the question to answer. Why? Because they keep the data hidden, Kurt.

Proprietary. Because the published studies use a variety of confusing metrics to obfuscate their data. Nonetheless, when independent researchers looked at the published trials, which almost certainly inflated the benefit of statin therapy, they found that taking a statin daily for five years resulted in you living, on average, three to four days longer.

What? How can I not be on it? Sadder still, larger trials have found this minuscule benefit is only seen in men.

Not women. In short, most of the benefit from statins is from creative ways to rearrange data and the cause of death, not any actual benefit. This sounds like misinformation. In circumstances like these where an unsafe and ineffective but highly lucrative drug may be sold, the next step is typically to pay everyone off to promote it.

I wonder what did that happen during COVID? I don't know. For example, to quote chapter seven of doctoring data, the National Cholesterol Education Program has been tasked by the National Institutes of Health to develop guidelines that everyone uses for treating cholesterol levels, excluding the chair who was by law prohibited from having financial conflicts of interest. The other eight members on average were on the payroll of six statin manufacturers.

In 2004, the NCEP reviewed five large statin trials and recommended aggressive LDL lowering for high-risk patients. Primary prevention with lifestyle changes and statins. Well, if six of the eight members were all on the payroll, if eight of the members were on the payroll of six statin manufacturers, huh. In 2005, a Canadian division of the Cochrane Collaboration, who were not paid off,

Reviewed five large statin trials. Three were the same as NCEPs, while the other two had also reached a positive conclusion for statin therapy. That assessment instead concluded statins have not been shown to provide an overall health benefit in primary prevention trials. Oh, my God. We got to get we got to pay those guys off.

That's a terrible mistake. We have to pay these guys immediately. So get this, the American college of cardiology then made a calculator that

to determine your risk of developing a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years based on your age, blood pressure, cholesterol level, and your smoking status. In turn, I've lost track of how many doctors I saw proudly punch their patients' numbers into that calculator and then inform them that they were at a high risk of stroke or heart attack and urgently needed to start statins. Given that almost everyone

Ended up being high risk. Everyone needs a statin. And you qualify for TRT. I was not surprised to learn that in 2016, Kaiser completed an extensive study which determined this calculator overestimated the rate of these events by

By 600%. Sadly, that has not at all deterred the use of this calculator. For example, medical students are still tested on it for their board examinations. Wow. Tom Cruise is less crazy than people that trusted their doctor. That's right.

Presently, we believe cholesterol somehow gets into a blood vessel and then damages it, leaving an arthrosclerotic plaque. Kendrick, this other doctor, in turn argued that a competing model that the medical professionals largely buried provides a much better explanation of the actual cause of heart disease. So that's what we think now, that cholesterol gets into your blood vessel and then damages it.

But here is the new theory or the theory they've known for a while. Blood vessels get damaged. The body repairs those damage with clots. As clots heal, they are pulled inside the blood vessel wall and a new layer of endothelium, which is blood vessel lining, grows over that clot.

As this occurs multiple times in the same area, the damage or the plaques under the blood vessel becomes more abnormal. In short, a good case can be made that our entire heart disease model is based on a variety of correlations that were erroneously assumed to demonstrate causation.

Was your clue when they said somehow it damages and that was the only explanation? Yes. Sadly, while the correlation is not causation mantra is frequently used to dismiss anything which challenges the orthodoxy, you will frequently find overtly false correlations that support the medical industry's bottom line by being treated as unquestionable dogmas. So...

They use that term correlation is not causation to dismiss something that doesn't go along with the establishment orthodoxy. But when you can use it to dismiss something that is the establishment orthodoxy, they ignore it. Okay. Yeah, well, remember that guy who said maybe we should wash our hands before we stick them inside of people for operations? Yeah, that's right. I think he ended up in an insane asylum or something.

So this is what they make you think is happening inside your arteries. That it just gets clogged with cholesterol. That's what they make you think is happening. Well, what's actually happening is you get an injury from your, your blood vessel has an injury, like a burst or something. So then it sends cholesterol there to fix it. So then it, there's a clot and then the inside of it grows over and

And when that leaves, it leaves cholesterol behind because it fixed something. So that's totally different. What they tell you is cholesterol gets there and hurts you. No, cholesterol is there to fix something.

And then there's this, this is the headline on this part is called the statin damage crisis. My primary issue with statins is not the fact that we waste billions dollars each year on a useless therapy, approximately 25 billion per year in America alone, but rather it's the fact that they have a very high rate of injury. For example, the existing studies find between five and 30% rate of injuries in

And Dr. Mel Horta, who I've had on this show, the leading cardiologist from the UK, having gone through all the existing evidence, estimates that 20% of statin users are injured by the statins. That's worse than cocaine. That's worse than cocaine.

I can't vouch for the veracity of what Kirch has said. Likewise, statins are well known for having a high percentage of patients who discontinue their drugs due to the side effects. For example, one large study found that 44.7% of older adults discontinued the statins within a year of starting them, while another large study of adults of all ages found 47% discontinued within a year.

So here's Dr. C. Mel Horter. He tweets out this video of himself. He says the lack of transparency in the prescription of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs in relation to side effects is a public health scandal.

There are solutions to making medicine great again. So let's, so here it is. Can I stop you for a second? Yes. Is it because those, those side effects, fatigue, muscle soreness, things like that were fairly mild. Is that why they were underreported? Great question. So now we know the reason. So first and foremost, when I ask a patient, the patient complains about side effects, I ask them, is this interfering with your quality of life?

So if they say yes, by definition, from their perspective, it's not mild. It's something that's really just making them feel pretty, pardon my language, shitty. But the reason, Joe, that they were not reported, and that came up later on, this is something I didn't know as a medical student, as a qualified doctor, as a specialist, is until then, is a lot of the clinical trials that are conducted

the drive guidelines these randomized trials where you give patients, you know one group gets the Statin and one group group gets a dummy pill and you they don't know whether they're getting the dummy pill or the statin and then they're followed up and you see whether they have less heart attacks and what side effects they get is that there's something called the pre-randomization running period so before the trial actually starts people are enrolled and then if you get side effects

you are taken out of the trial before it starts. So what happens is, yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, so what happens is the end result of those trials is therefore biased towards people who didn't get side effects. Who's running this, Mr. Beast? No shit. Here's another one. You really couldn't make up how the University of Oxford was making money from both sides of the statins controversy. Here we go. You really couldn't make this up. 2016. So he's campaigning saying side effects almost non-existent.

I get a phone call from the Sunday Times journalist, a guy called John Ngo Thomas, great guy.

And he said, Asim, you won't believe what I found out. Because the reason this came out in 2016, they decided to republish. So what Colin said, he says, there's a lot of discussion about statins and side effects. We're going to reanalyze our own data again and look into this. So they published this piece in The Lancet in 2016, and they basically said the same thing again. Side effects, statins are rare, less than 1%, maybe get some mild muscle aches, that kind of thing. A week later, this journalist calls me, and he says...

I found something really interesting. What is it? He said, in the United States, there is a genetic test called Statin Smart, which is the company, Boston Heart Diagnostics is a company that is marketing this, has a license to market this product. And on their website, the genetic test, the co-inventor of this genetic test is Professor Rory Collins.

and on their website they're selling this test to basically try and figure out who's likely to get side effects so you do this test and it tells you whether or not you like to get side effects from specific statins or not and it says 29 of all statin users are likely to get significant muscle symptoms or side effects from statins and he did a freedom of information request to oxford university i published on this with john abramson actually we did this in one of the paper we wrote later on

And Oxford University came back and basically said that, he asked them, how much money have you taken from selling this device? And it was something in the order of, the university had received 300,000 pounds and Professor Collins' department had received about 100,000 pounds.

it doesn't make any sense. So in one sense, he's saying side effects are non-existent. Yeah, he's co-invented a test to try and detect who's like to get side effects. And on the website, it got taken down after that, interestingly. You know, we published it and we highlighted this.

But it's like, hold on, they're kind of making money from both sides here. And for me, it just highlighted, you know, this was all really, for me, like a symptom of a system failure where, you know, there are all these concealed conflicts of interest. People are being selective with the information they put out. And ultimately, at the root of the problem, Joe, is that these big, powerful pharmaceutical companies, these corporations have

more and more control and unchecked power over these institutions or conflicts of interest, but people don't know about it. Right. Yeah. It doesn't make any sense that it only costs a hundred grand for them to do this. That's what don't make sense. I know the parts make sense. A hundred grand. That's all it takes you to kill people.

So here's what's that. Mass murder is 100 grand. So the cause of statin side effects. So statin, there's this thing called acetyl and whatever the pathway. So it blocks this. The statin comes in and blocks it here. And so then all this other stuff that it's supposed to do, it doesn't get done. And so one of those things that you don't have because of a statin is this thing called COQ10.

which turns out is really important. I mean, if you don't have it, it has bad side effects. Some of the common energy-related side effects of statin COQ10 deficiency, so if you take statins, it blocks this chain of events and then you don't have these COQ10s, and here's what happens when you don't have the CO, you get myocondrial damage, you get lack of energy. - Myocondrial. - Myocondrial, yeah, mitochondrial damage, you get lack of energy, chronic fatigue syndrome,

congestive heart failure, and fluid retention. You get shortness of breath. You get gout. Some of the side effects of statin COQ10 deficiency weakening the cell well integrity include hepatitis.

What? Yes. Pancreatitis. Nice. Another thing I can't pronounce, but it has something to do with skeletal muscle tissue. Rhamdomyolysis? Intended ligament inflammation and rupture. Wait, Jimmy, how many people quit after taking statins? Did it say 47%? It said almost, it said, oh, I think almost 45%. Okay, so I'm going to go out on an even further limb and die on this hill that also cocaine, that is not the case. Yeah.

So this is the place that is the compromised center that does all the studies on statins, right? It says the cholesterol treatment trial is collaboration. So they're incentivized to say it's bad and statins are good. And here's what they, I went to their website and this is what they actually say. Updates, March 2024. This is their update.

Yeah, statins can cause a small increase in blood sugar levels, so people at high risk may develop diabetes sooner. Well, that sounds inevitable. So remember, this is the place that's in bed with them. This is on their front page.

Well, Jimmy, wait, I like that they're making a test to see if you're going to get side effects from it. So that way they can give it, people could just take it for no reason and hopefully we'll just get these side effects. So here in August of 2022, a new study shows muscle pain is not due to statins in over 90% of those taking the treatment. Now, do you see how they phrase that?

It's not causing muscle pain in over 90%. So you know what that means? Here's another way you could say that. Statins cause muscle pain in 10% of the people who take them. Oh, the glasses have full. That's another way you could say, yeah, it turns out it does cause muscle pain. Turns out it does. That's another way. It's another way of saying that. By the way, I'll bet it's more than 10%. I would bet too.

In July 2022, a large review of statin clinical trial data could soon end remaining uncertainty on possible statin side effects. Oh, I bet it won't. This is from their own, the pro people. It says collaboration on the goddamn page. It says it right on it. So many statin victims say they abruptly, almost in the blink of an eye, they have become old people when they started taking statins.

Dwan Graveline, MD, was started on a statin and has soon developed global amnesia, which is really scary. Just amnesia. He decided to stop the statin and he recovered. He lost his memory. When I suggested on the basis of my 23 years as a family doctor that perhaps my new medicine was the cause of my amnesia, the neurologist replied almost scoffingly that statins don't do that. He and many other physicians and pharmacists were adamant that this does not occur.

Were they all counting a big fat wad of cash while he's at it? Just like when I went to the neurologist, when I had my, uh, acipital neurology, which I got from the vaccine damage. And I went to a neurologist and I go, yeah, I got, uh, an acipital neurology from the, he goes, I didn't get that from that. He didn't, that didn't come from the vaccine. He just said it like that. And at the same time, my producer at the time had the same thing. Steph had the same thing.

And you get it on the same side that you got the vaccine. I got the vaccine on this side because I got a flu shot on this side. It's like six years ago. Still hurts.
