0:00.0	And welcome everyone. I'm very excited about today's guest. He's one of my very favorites, Jay Batacharya.
0:04.5	Jay is a, uh, a academic beyond, uh, reproach at Stanford University, where he's taught medical school
0:12.6	for many, many years. Uh, he is someone that, uh, was a close ally of the likes of Anthony
0:18.4	Fauci and those at the infrastructure at the NIH and the
0:22.0	National Institute of Allergy and Immunology. And when he dared to step forward and just

1:19.6	Fentanyl and heroin.
1:21.6	Ridiculous.
1:22.6	I'm a doctor for a sate.
