Hello, everybody. This is Lou Dobbs. The Russian forces surrounding Kiev are digging in preparing defenses against increasingly successful counterattacks and assaults by the Ukrainian military and resistance 100,000 Ukrainians remain trapped in Maripol and the situation is grim for the survivors of near constant Russian bombardment of the city and President Zelensky is calling on Pope Francis to do everything in his power.

To persuade Vladimir Putin to meet Zelensky and talks aimed at calling a ceasefire. The White House and Pentagon have been warning that President Putin is prepared to use bio weapons and chemical weapons against the Ukrainian forces that have held off his army for weeks now.

President Biden today said if Putin does use bio Kim weapons, the United States will respond as he put it in kind.

Welcome to the Great America show. Thanks for joining us in other developments today to Pentagon says Biden still wants a nuclear deal with Iran, but won't acknowledge the central role Russia has in negotiating that deal.

President Biden is truly playing with fire and is committing constant constitutional overreach whether at home or abroad as he is now and at home Senate hearings for the judge nominated to the Supreme Court is clearly far outside the mainstream and her record for eight years as a district court judge reveal a radical leftists and there is hardly a record at all of her appellate court tenure, which amounts to little more than half a year.

Judge Katanjee Brown Jackson has apparently intimidated the Republican senators in her confirmation hearings because they haven't addressed her lack of experience, but not Senator Holley and certainly not Senator Cruz.

They've made it clear she's not mainstream in her conduct as a judge associates herself with CRT and is unquestionably an activist left wing judge.

As we've discussed here on the Great America show, there's no legitimate fact based scientific reason for President Biden to keep the enormous extraordinary powers that were declared to deal with the COVID pandemic in 2020.

And it's clear President Biden is intent on retaining those powers despite the Senate's passage of a bill to end the national emergency Biden obviously believes those extra powers will be helpful in the midterm elections and he has threatened to veto any legislative effort to strip him of those extra ordinary powers.

And it's no accident that Dr. Fauci was back out in front of television cameras to talk up the new Omicron variant to talk up the surge he now says he expects and to warn us of course that we may have to go back to old restrictions.

Even Fauci figured out that didn't play well with the American public because it's plain we don't have an appetite for anymore authoritarian rule or nonsense.

No, the question is will our new world order president understand fully that he has now overplayed his Marxist hand joining us here on the Great America show is one of the leading doctors in the country whose knowledge is a physician and his courage as a citizen.

Awaken millions of Americans to the threats of big pharma and our big government to our freedom and the limits and dangers of vaccines medical orthodoxies and bureaucratic authoritarianism and the importance of treatment when it comes to the virus with this now is Dr. Peter McCullough internist cardiologist epidemiologist and host of his own podcast called America out loud.

Great to have you with us doctor and thanks for all you've done for this country and for all of us so here we go let's start with the topic that is dominating the new space but but really not with any great context or explanation and that is the B a to variant president Biden telling us it's bad in Europe and it's going to get worse here.

We'd like you to answer the question just how bad or dangerous is B a to I can tell you I think almost all people following the virus and media doctors have learned to be cautious about making predictions of these waves.

The Omicron variant which is the highly mutated form of the virus it's gone through the sequence of wild type alpha beta gamma delta and now Omicron Omicron can be divided into two sub variants one is B a one and the B a one variant is so mutated that actually one of the primers that the PCR test picks up it's called the S gene primers missing.

The B a to sub variant is a and actually a less mutated form of Omicron where the S gene is actually present so a PCR test that test for that primer could actually tell B a one versus B a to the measures of infectivity come from in vitro studies and they're actually hard to interpret because so many people have had the virus now.

If someone with the B a to runs up against somebody who previously had B a one they'd already have immunity wouldn't pass it to them and so it's hard to calculate that it's clear though that the B a to sub variant is finding pockets of susceptibility particularly in Asia Hong Kong and I've been following the story in South Korea which is interesting South Korea is having far and away the largest rise in cases and deaths right now and they're 93% fully vaccinated and boosted.

But fully 90% and they're having the worst experience right 93% yeah fully vaccinated boosted and having the worst experience and I think it speaks to the observation that the virus is mutated to be on the reach of the vaccines.

There are there are two concurrent developments and one involves of course the president himself maintaining that this is an emergency and persisting in the national emergency that he declared then put into effect or an emergency through an executive order.

The pharmaceutical company the former companies coming out and in the case of Pfizer saying that we're suspending our request for approval for their vaccine for children five and under and Moderna which is seeking emergency use authorization for theirs.

Can you explain what that's about.
