“We have a problem, just generally, that the scientific community is not actually set up to protect the public from the risk of accidents in labs.”

Dr. Bryce Nickels is a professor of genetics at Rutgers University and the co-founder of Biosafety Now, an organization that aims to reduce the public threat of lab-generated pandemics.

“Like any person that’s trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes, occasionally, what you‘ll do is you’ll say things that are technically correct, but it’s used to deceive. And that’s what’s been going on for this use of the term ‘gain-of-function,’” says Dr. Nickels.

In this episode, we discuss the Risky Research Review Act—legislation that, if passed, would establish an independent review board to assess whether the benefits of gain-of-function research outweigh the risks and determine whether that research should be done in the first place.

“They believe that what they’re doing is so important that it’s okay to lie,” says Nickels, referring to how scientific and government leaders hid critical information about the origins of COVID from the public. “We want to make there be incentives to tell the truth, not to hide the truth.”

It has been six years since Warren Farrell and John Gray published their groundbreaking book, “The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It.”

A prominent feminist for many years, Farrell shifted his focus when he started noticing major gaps in the conversation about men and women’s issues. He’s written multiple books, including “The Myth of Male Power” and “Why Men Earn More.”

In “The Boy Crisis,” the authors detailed how boys have been falling behind in many key metrics of success and happiness. Boys dropped out from school at higher rates, died from suicide and drug overdoses at higher rates, and committed school shootings at higher rates than girls.

In this interview, I wanted to get an update from Farrell on where things have progressed since they wrote their book.

We also dive into some key wisdom for strengthening relationships and communication from his latest book “Role Mate to Soul Mate,” in which he compiles his findings from decades of counseling couples.

Hans von Spakovsky is a former member of the Federal Election Commission and a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He is also the head of the think tank’s Election Law Reform Initiative. He has been looking at election integrity issues for years.

In this episode, he breaks down what he sees as key vulnerabilities in the U.S. election system, from ballot harvesting to outdated voter rolls to lack of citizen verification processes.

“The biggest problem across the country is that we have an honor system for registering, so states are not doing anything to verify that you actually are a U.S. citizen,” he says.
