John Leake

N-I-C H-U-L-S-C-H-E-R.

And I also have a Substack with Dr. McCullough and John Leake, thefocalpoints.com.

Amazing.

Well, people have to follow that Substack.

What's amateur radio? Never heard of it.

So I listened for a while, and then eventually I realized that one of the guys who was a, a local amateur, G3KEP, who'd been licensed three or four years earlier, uh, I was at school with him.

And, uh, there was a radio club at the school, so I joined the radio club at the school.

Probably I was 12 or maybe 13 at that stage, 14, something like that, and, uh, met this guy who I am still friendly with, G3KEP, and, uh, we, we meet each other every now and again and go out for a meal and have a chat.

And, uh, I couldn't, uh, see the charts for membership lists and things like that, so I had to go.

But with the, the, the, with the...

Some nice guys have taken over, so I, I'm very pleased about that.

Tony was the membership secretary for a while, uh, and then he had to give up, and, uh, Daphne does it now, and Daphne's wonderful.

substack called Focal Points is the vice president of the McCullough Foundation, a New York Times bestselling author, his new book, Mind Viruses, America's Irrational Obsessions.

Ladies and gentlemen, my favorite lovable contagion, John Leake, everybody.

John Leake's in the house.

Hey! Johnny Boy is here live from his hotel room.

Had to get all those strippers out behind him, but he's here with us today.

So I'm going to pick up on this on the other side.

We're going to take a quick break.

We're talking to John Leake.

We've got a really interesting show in line, and we're going to be talking about mind viruses.

Our guest that is going to be joining us in a few minutes, his name is John Leake, and he wrote a book.

Well, he's written plenty, but his latest piece, let me get it up over here.

Where are we? Hold on.

I get it up on his website over here.

It is called Mind Viruses, America's Irrational Obsessions by John Leake, New York Times bestselling author.

That's quite the cover.

It is.

Anthony Rispo is coming on that night.

We're going to have a phone call from John Leake.

John Leake is a guest I found through Dr. Peter McCullough, who will also be coming back on the show at some point later on, either in October or November.

Every time I think of November, I'm thinking there's going to be a new, there's a baby.

There's going to be a baby outside of Lauren at that point.

This is something else entirely.

But anyway, Peter McCullough, he'll be coming on at some point.

He said, you should talk to John Leake.

So no two doctors agree on anything.

Uh, our investigation in this, and I work with bestselling author John Leake, and we looked at this very carefully, 300 years of vaccines.

Virtually every vaccine introduced for a disease, that disease was essentially going away or gone, and mortality go, uh, you know, 99%, you know, reduced before the first dose of vaccine was ever given.

Wow.

Today's topic, the role of mind viruses behind America's obsessions.

My guest today to share this insight is John Leake.

That's L-E-A-K-E. He's via Zoom, and John is a author, mainly of nonfiction work.

He has a lifelong interest in medical history, psychology, and criminology.

People are finally being forced, because the economic crisis and over 205 million Americans are in, to stand up, find their voice finally, and push back.

So John, we're out of time.

John Leake's my guest, L-E-A-K-E.

And, uh, John, we'd just gotten into this conversation.
