The Megyn Kelly Show
Deep Dive
Why are there mysterious drone sightings in multiple states, and why is the federal government dismissing them?
The mysterious drones, spotted in New Jersey, New York, and Maryland, have sparked concern due to their large numbers and coordinated movements. The federal government, including the White House and military, claims there is no threat and that the sightings are unconfirmed, leading to frustration among officials and the public. Some speculate the drones could be a Chinese intelligence operation, while others suggest they might be a test of U.S. airspace security.
Why did ProPublica attempt to smear Pete Hegseth over his West Point admission?
ProPublica, a left-leaning investigative group, tried to discredit Pete Hegseth by claiming he lied about being admitted to West Point. When Hegseth provided his acceptance letter, ProPublica defended their actions as standard journalistic practice, but critics argue it was a politically motivated hit job aimed at weakening his credibility as a Trump nominee.
What is the link between statins and heart disease according to Dr. Aseem Malhotra?
Dr. Aseem Malhotra argues that statins, while effective for some high-risk patients, are overprescribed for those without prior heart disease. He claims that the focus on lowering LDL cholesterol is misguided, as high cholesterol in older adults is not a significant risk factor for heart disease. Instead, insulin resistance, caused by diets high in sugar and processed foods, is the primary driver of heart disease.
How can people reverse the effects of insulin resistance and heart disease?
Dr. Malhotra recommends a low-refined carbohydrate Mediterranean diet, rich in olive oil, fish, nuts, and vegetables, to combat insulin resistance and reduce inflammation. He also emphasizes the importance of reducing chronic stress through meditation, which can help reverse arterial blockages and improve heart health.
Why are medical journals criticized in Dr. Malhotra's documentary 'First Do No Pharm'?
Medical journals are criticized for being heavily influenced by pharmaceutical companies, which fund drug trials and pay for favorable publications. This creates a conflict of interest, as journals often exaggerate the benefits and downplay the harms of drugs. The documentary highlights how this corruption has led to overmedication and harmful medical practices.
What are the risks associated with the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, according to Dr. Malhotra?
Dr. Malhotra cites evidence showing that the mRNA vaccines, particularly Pfizer and Moderna, have a serious adverse event rate of at least 1 in 800, leading to hospitalizations, disabilities, and life-changing conditions. He also warns that the vaccines may accelerate heart disease and increase the risk of cancer due to long-term immunosuppression.
What should people do if they have already received the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine?
Dr. Malhotra advises optimizing metabolic health through lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet, stress reduction, and immune-boosting supplements like high-dose vitamin C. He emphasizes the need for further research and acknowledgment of the vaccine's risks by the medical establishment.
