Episode's summary

When President Biden won the 2020 election, the Left ridiculed anyone who questioned the security of electronic voting machines and the strange irregularities in vote tallies. But when Trump won in 2024, suddenly the “hacked voting machines” theory wasn’t so ridiculous anymore. A new bombshell report has both sides furiously blaming the other. This week, a ProPublic report claims “a few months into President Donald Trump’s second term, political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security made an unusual request of its agency focused on cybersecurity: Secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it.” Buried in the report: the request was never actually fulfilled. “Though not acted on, the request shows how the Trump administration has tried to use the agency for its own ends while draining it of resources for one of its critical missions: protecting the nation’s voting systems.” But if electronic voting machines are allegedly so secure, why is the Left so concerned if the US government’s cybersecurity…

China-Made Parts Found In USA Voting Machines: Can They Be Hacked? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 678

When President Biden won the 2020 election, the Left ridiculed anyone who questioned the security of electronic voting machines and the strange irregularities in vote tallies. But when Trump won in 2024, suddenly the “hacked voting machines” theory wasn’t so ridiculous anymore. A new bombshell report has both sides furiously blaming the other.

Dr. Drew is joined by French journalist André Bercoff and French-American actress Beatrice Rosen to discuss the ongoing riots and violence in France. Reports estimate nearly 1,800 people have been arrested and 500 law enforcement officials have been injured, with Fox News reporting estimates of “more than 550,000 people” participating across France. As historical French landmarks were being vandalized and burned, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte were filmed dancing at a Celine Dion concert in Nanterre, just west of Paris. In Limoges, a fire authorities say was deliberately set gutted the city’s historic town hall, built in 1883. The local prefect called it “a catastrophe for heritage.” Beatrice Rosen is a French-American actress known for roles in major films including The Dark Knight (2008) and Chasing Liberty (2004).

Green Beret Confronted Fauci In Person, Says Military mRNA Vaccine Mandate Broke Federal Law – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 676

A federal judge ruled that the US military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate broke the law, after service members were ordered to take the mRNA shots under Emergency Use Authorization. Ivan Raiklin – retired Green Beret, former intelligence officer, and attorney – joins Dr. Kelly Victory to break down the landmark ruling and to tell what really happened in his hallway confrontation with Dr. Fauci over funding of the Wuhan lab. Raiklin is now being sued by Dr. Terry Adirim, the Pentagon official who wrote the September 2021 memo implementing the vaccine mandate. He says he is using her own lawsuit to dig into how the mandate was rolled out in the first place. A summary-judgment hearing is set for October 30 in Alexandria federal court. “The mandate broke federal law, and now they have to answer under oath,” says Raiklin. Dr. Kelly Victory, MD is Chief of Emergency & Disaster Medicine at The Wellness Company, a residency-trained and boarded trauma and emergency specialist with over 30 years of clinical experience.…

Cheap Drug Has 97 Percent Plague Survival Rate, So Why Are Militaries Developing 21 Plague Vaccines? – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 675

A researcher at an anti-plague institute in Russia died after breaking a test tube containing live bacteria. As headlines stoke alarm over a possible aerosolized pneumonic plague outbreak, epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher reveals that governments and military biodefense programs – including the USA’s Department of Defense – have been quietly funding more than 21 experimental plague vaccines spanning mRNA, self-amplifying RNA, and viral-vector platforms. “Why were governments and military biodefense programs already investing so heavily in plague vaccines before the current plague hysteria erupted?” asks Hulscher. The U.S. DOD alone has committed over $44 million into clinical trials for an aerosolized plague candidate, alongside programs in the UK, Israel, Russia, and China. But as Hulscher points out, pneumonic plague is a bacterial infection, not a respiratory virus like COVID-19. “I would not take an experimental plague vaccine. I’d rather take my chances with doxycycline and its documented 97% survival…

The Cornell 7: Ketamine, Consent & A Trial By Internet Scandal w/ Attorney Viva Frei – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 674

In the Cornell 7 lawsuit, a female student has accused seven Chi Phi fraternity brothers of drugging and sexually assaulting her in October 2024. The men have denied wrongdoing, saying the encounter was consensual. One of the men now alleges that because he was intoxicated on ketamine at the time, he was unable to give consent – and thus legally, Jane Doe may have assaulted him. The NY Post reports that Matthew Ingalls “told Cornell University police that he was the one too intoxicated from booze and ketamine to consent” and Jane Doe “was the one who therefore assaulted him during the debauched and drunken night and not the other way around…” Attorney Viva Frei joins Dr. Drew to separate what is illegal and prosecutable from what is immoral, and to explain why the district attorney first declined to bring charges. Rob Rosen, producer of “Reasonable Doubt” and author of “Crimes of Omission,” discusses how the media is covering the case. Dr. Drew, an addiction specialist, explains what ketamine is, what…
