Y’all meet Peter Tontonoz, MD, PhD. He sold his myocarditis research data for $14M. Pfizer bought it and buried it! The DOJ was tipped off in 2022 by an auditor/whistleblower

"permissive immigration. . . sent an incentive to people of the world that they can now come [to the U.S. and] abuse asylum laws"

You know they're not refugees, because, where are the women? 

The full 3-hour and 42-minute interview is here.  Rogan hosts Coleman Hughes.

The full unfolding of it goes back to the 1930s.  New York State made a constitutional amendment to the state constitution that required the state to provide housing for the homeless.  It was vaguely worded, so in the 80s and 90s, the courts in New York began interpreting that law more and more strictly.  Almost no other state I'm not sure if other states have something in its state constitution requiring that kind of a thing . . . .  The original purpose of this was for citizens of New Yorker state, but the judges began interpreting it so strictly that when the Republican governors in Texas and Florida begin sending a few thousand migrants up to New York City as kind of an f*ck you to liberal cities that have declared themselves sanctuary cities without actually having to actually deal with the border crisis does that Texas does.  The first few thousand found that legally New York had to house them.  And then word got down to Mexico that if you make it to New York City, you will not be turned away.  Legally, you don't even have to be a citizen before the state amendment to apply to you.  So what began as a few . . . let's say 10 or 15,000 were sent by the Republican Governors as a kind of political tactic has now become tens and tens and tens of thousands coming of their volition to New York City, and it's the only state in the country that mayor Adams has no legal recourse to send people elsewhere he actually cannot do it he's tried to do executive orders but he legally can't because it's in the state constitution.  It's above his power.  And now it's taken on a life of its own way over and above what the Republican governors started so this is why he's going to the National media and literally saying you know I can't do anything about this I'm trying to do something about this but I can't and we are putting people up in Airbnbs for $100 a night years if we don't find a solution to this.   

I was looking at a video of the Roosevelt Hotel which is no longer a hotel.  The state has essentially said that this is now a center for housing migrants, and they've said the restaurant is no longer a restaurant.  Sorry, that's just how it is now.  What do you do if you own the Roosevelt Hotel and you just want it to be a hotel and now the state just says nope?

3:33. Look, I don't blame any of these people.  If I was born in Mexico, . . . and we'd all be doing the same thing.  It's the smart thing to do from their perspective, but that doesn't mean from our perspective that we should just put out the bat signal to the whole world and say you can come to New York City and we have no legal recourse to move you anywhere else.

3:57. It's not just New York City, it's other parts of the world.  It's strange that recently it's become this crisis where migrants are coming en mass to these places and just letting them.  Is this orchestrated?  Is this just the fact that they found out that they can do it and it's better than where they are, and if they go there these places that are charitably minded, who want a house people who are down their luck, but now people are taking advantage and just swarming?  

4:33. I think that's what it is I think the whole Western world has become much more open to immigration recently.  Obviously, America was open to immigration in the 19th century, but we were the outlier.  In all the other countries in the world, the default was that they had closed borders.  So I think the whole world out of empathy for the poor and struggling has wanted to have more permissive immigration but that sent an incentive to people of the world that they can now come that they can abuse asylum laws and again I don't even blame people for doing this because it's exactly what I would do if I were born in Guatemala or Syria this is my story and I would probably lie about it in order to get a better life than the one I had.  These are just a side effect of these compassionate laws.  People abuse them.  You get immigration pools that are vastly proportionately male, which is how you know that they're not refugees because, you know, where are the women?  It's a side effect of the intended compassionate immigration policy.  That's how this works.  Thomas Sowell's great quote, "There are no solutions, only trade-offs." It's more compassionate, but it also leads to, in the case of New York, what could be a serious fiscal crisis. 

By repeating the harms, . . . the common good delusion is normalized and the people become desensitized to harm and to Evil

Excellent discussion on the evil of the greater good idea.
 

What about this argument that  we have to lose our freedoms for the common good?  Individual and societal evils cannot justify the greater good.  They are fundamentally opposed ideas but individuals and people, even churches, can be diluted and scared and traumatized into believing that the harm they do is for the greater or the common good.  

Now I have to say that the churches that are demanding vaccine passports cannot be following the same Jesus I follow; they've got to be following some other Jesus because Jesus went out into the crowds touched the lepers and healed them.

By repeating the harms, for example, loss of our freedoms and liberties, the common good delusion is normalized, and the people become desensitized to harm and Evil. 

For example, in 1930s Germany, the Nazi party member, Hans B. was writing to his sister in France,
In our nation, the priority is not on the individual and what benefits him, but on the common good, the Volk and Germany. 

This is what it led to.  Two posters from Nazi Germany " for the common good."  Which can easily be interpreted that if there is something about you that is uncommon, or possess a trait that is uncommonly not German, then you belong in another social category.

A Nazi-era high-school biology book warns that “a hereditarily ill person costs 50,000 reichsmarks on average up to the age of sixty.” From the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C.

The one on the left has this healthy, or vaccinated you might say, German guy, holding, as if it is a burden, the disabled on his shoulders.  It reads, "A genetically ill [meaning unvaccinated, since the "vaccines" are genetic shots] individual costs approximately 50,000 Reichasmaks by age of 60."  Of course, this was eugenics propaganda.  On the right, 

The Toronto Star employed Ernest Hemmingway when he went to Paris as the Toronto Star correspondent.  But now it has become a corrupt woke organization that carries headlines like
"Unvaccinated Patients Do Not Deserve ICU Beds." 
and
"I Have No Sympathy for the Willfully Unvaccinated.  Let Them Die." 

As a physician, I've got to ask, what about the willfully obese?  What about the willful smoker?  Do patients with alcohol cirrhosis deserve ICU beds?  Obviously, they do.  As physicians, of course, we tell

The surge in property taxes has turned his rental from nicely profitable to being in the hole monthly. And he has a 2.25% mortgage!

While Poland may have just thrown instead to into a very horrible situation with their elections, Switzerland just stood strong for their country, their people and their future!
