A discussion with Matt Ridley on his book Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19, written with Alina Chan, touches mostly on how the lab leak hypothesis is now an officially accepted explanation but how the mainstream media and academia are slow to admit it. The orthodoxy began with the excuse that they wanted to protect science, but they have done, and continue to do, the opposite. Matt Ridley is an eminent science journalist. Writer of books "The Red Queen"; "Genome"; "How Innovation Works"; "The Evolution of Everything"; "The Origin of Virtue"; "Nature via Nature" and his latest "Viral: The Search for the Origins of Covid-19". All are available on Amazon. His personal blog is here Here, he also discusses the importance of "citizen journalists" and scientists in uncovering the suppression of evidence supporting the lab leak hypothesis of COVID-19.

In this fascinating episode, I talk to historian C.J. Killmer about progressivism in the US. He makes a strong case for how the US is currently an oligarchy of progressive elites and this is why they hate Trump so much.

"Trump is a populist, and populism is a real democratic impulse asserting itself against oligarchy."

"Kellie-Jay Keen is a global non-feminist women's rights advocate who founded the #LetWomenSpeak movement. She’s unapologetic and unafraid. She believes that language is the key weapon in the arsenal of those who wish to erase women."

In 2018, under the pseudonym of "Posie Parker", Kellie sold stickers and t.shirts printed with the dictionary definition of a woman "Woman, noun, adult human female" to fund a billboard poster in Liverpool with the same text. This was in protest of a local councilor who had expressed support for transgender ideology. After complaints of the billboard by trans activists, Kellie was interviewed by UK police under caution of committing a "hate crime".

Here, Kellie talks about this time and her development into one of the world's most ferocious women's rights activists against an insidious and radical transgender ideology that many feminists support.
