Aaron Siri: Lawyer Fighting For Health Freedom Receives One Of Nation’s Highest Honors (A NYT Hit Piece) + Ryan Millsap on His Movie Studio’s 4-Year Battle With Antifa Arsonists Near Atlanta’s “Cop City” – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 549
Aaron Siri was RFK’s personal campaign lawyer and continues to fight for people who were injured by vaccines, mRNA, and government mandates. After filing FDA petitions for stronger Tylenol warning labels, he was the subject of a hit piece in the New York Times – one of our nation’s highest honors.
Georgia studio founder Ryan Millsap says Antifa-linked activists waged a four-year campaign of arson, vandalism, and harassment after his land swap deal near Atlanta’s “Cop City.” Millsap, who built the famous Blackhall Studios, says Antifa’s pressure derailed his projects and endangered his family. He now applauds President Trump’s move to designate Antifa a domestic terror group, calling it long overdue.

Peter Navarro, a senior advisor to President Trump, has little sympathy for James Comey and John Bolton after they were indicted for allegedly lying to Congress and mishandling classified information.

Brad Thayer joins Navarro to discuss prison system corruption, tariffs, and the CCP’s brutal economic warfare with the USA.

Del Bigtree: Henry Ford Health Files Cease & Desist Against “An Inconvenient Study” Alleging Suppressed Evidence That Vaxxed Kids Have More Chronic Diseases w/ Matt Palumbo – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 544
Del Bigtree’s new documentary “An Inconvenient Study” alleges Henry Ford Health suppressed a 2017-2020 research study suggesting vaccinated children develop more chronic diseases.
The Detroit-based heath group issued a cease-and-desist against the film, claiming the vaccine study wasn’t published because it failed their scientific standards, not due to a cover-up. But Del Bigtree – a multi-decade children’s health advocate and RFK advisor – disagrees, and premiered the film on October 12 anyway.
Del Bigtree is an Emmy-winning producer, journalist, and filmmaker. He is the Executive Producer of “An Inconvenient Study,” CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), and host of The HighWire. Bigtree previously produced “Vaxxed” and served as Communications Director for the Kennedy 2024 campaign.

New York Attorney General Letitia James Sued Trump, Now Faces Similar Charges, Just Found Out “No One Is Above The Law” w/ Viva Frei – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 543
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued President Trump for financial fraud, now faces similar financial fraud charges herself. AG James infamously posted “No one is above the law” on May 30, 2024 – leaving many to wonder if she was referring to President Trump or to herself.
From 2019 to 2024, AG “Tish” James investigated the Trump Organization for financial fraud, alleging inflated property values in a lawsuit targeting President Trump, his children, and multiple businesses. The suit culminated in a $364 million penalty which was later overturned in an appeals court.

Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring: Is Rising Violence Fueled By SSRI Drugs Meant to Fix It? + How Leland Vittert Tackled Autism & Became A NewsNation TV Anchor – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 541
Is the mental health crisis fueled by drugs meant to fix it? Despite a 450% surge in antidepressant use, mental health outcomes are worsening especially among young adults. Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a psychiatrist and expert on drug-tapering, warns SSRIs may be linked to rising violence.

Later, Leland became a foreign correspondent and anchor at Fox News before getting his own show on NewsNation.
