In the middle of Dr. Hooker's interview, Gary played Florida Congressman Bill Posey speaking on the House floor about a CDC whistle blower exposing deception at the CDC. This happened in July 2015. After the 5 minute clip, Dr.Hooker and Dr. Null spoke about Congressman Posey's speech.
Here is a link to the video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGRjn_gIJw0
After the Dr. Hooker interview, Gary let everyone listen to Brian Deers, a journalist, who while walking into the
General Medical Council hearings was confronted by parents with children
who had Inflammatory Bowel Disease and told them they were wrong and
basically crazy. Watch the whole film below from You Tube or just listen
to the audio that we provided of the parents and Brian talk outside the
General Medical Council hearings

TITLE: Brian Deer and The GMC, Selective Hearing. BMJ Journalist
DESCRIPTION:
Brian Deer, a journalist writing for News Internationals Sunday Times,
was the only person in the world to complain to a regulatory body about
the work of doctors at the Royal Free Hospital in London who diagnosed
children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which their parents suggested
had occurred following MMR vaccination.
In 2003, after 10 years
work, legal aid was withdrawn from over 1,000 parents claiming damages
in a suit in which Dr Andrew Wakefield was to appear as an expert
witness. In 2004 Deer wrote an exposé of Wakefield that was full of
concoctions, half truths and fantasies and which claimed that the
children examined by the team at the Royal Free were not ill. Deer's
distorted pharma--imaginings became the basis of over 80 charges leveled
against Dr Wakefield and three other doctors to be 'tried' by the
General Medical Council (GMC). The hearing took place over three years
between 2007 and 2010 and became one of the longest regulatory hearings
ever held in Britain. Brian Deer, the centre of the whole plot, did not
give evidence.
In bringing the fitness to practice case against
Dr Andrew Wakefield, Professor Simon Murch and Professor John
Walker-Smith, the GMC listened to journalist Brian Deer and excluded the
views of hundreds of parents of vaccine damaged children. Who is Brian
Deer? Vigilante for truth or front man for Big Pharma? Selective Hearing
covers Deer's part in the heartbreaking betrayal of vaccine damaged
children by the medical profession, the pharmaceutical corporations and
the British government.
With the full power of the government and
pharmaceutical industry behind him, few people were brave enough to
tackle Deer. Alan Golding, however, is a Welshman, a very independent
filmmaker and a man of considerable principle. Alan Golding gave himself
completely over the three--year duration of the GMC hearing, to the
cause of the parents of vaccine damaged children. Selective Hearing
features clearly honest personal testimony from parents, an analysis of
Deer's faulted case and unique material of him holding forth for the
pharmaceutical companies in a heated exchange with parents outside the
GMC building. If you see this film you will want to do something about
Brian Deer.

Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss is an American Haredi Rabbi, human rights and religious activist and the spokesperson for Neturei Karta (Net-oor-ay Car-tah) – also known as Orthodox Jews United Against Zionism -- in Brooklyn and Monsey New York. Neturei Karta is a Jewish group opposing the state of Israel and the Zionist agenda that pretends to be representative of the spiritual values in religious Judaism and the Torah. It was founded in Jerusalem in 1938 when a group of Orthodox rabbis refused to recognize the authority of what would later become the state of Israel. Rabbi Weiss is the son of Hungarian Jews; both of his grandparents died at the Auschwitz camp during the war. He is also a sharp critic of Jewish and Israeli efforts to use the Holocaust as a weapon to increase sympathy for political and economic advantage. He is highly respected within the Muslim and Palestinian communities for his efforts to advance interfaith dialogue between religions. The rabbi’s writings can be found on the Neturei Karta website at NKUSA.org

TITLE: UK Jewish MP: Israel acting like Nazis in Gaza
DESCRIPTION: "Israel
was born out of Jewish Terrorism" Tzipi Livnis Father was a Terrorist"
Astonishing claims in the House of Parliament. SIR Gerald Kaufman, the
veteran Labour MP, yesterday compared the actions of Israeli troops in
Gaza to the Nazis who forced his family to flee Poland. During a Commons
debate on the fighting in Gaza, he urged the government to impose an
arms embargo on Israel. Sir Gerald, who was brought up as an orthodox
Jew and Zionist, said: "My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis
came to her home town a German soldier shot her dead in her bed. "My
grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering
Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government
ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles
over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their
murder of Palestinians." He said the claim that many of the Palestinian
victims were militants "was the reply of the Nazi" and added: "I suppose
the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been
dismissed as militants." He accused the Israeli government of seeking
"conquest" and added: " They are not simply war criminals, they are
fools."
