"As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous," says a CIA spokesperson – words that would have gotten them banned from social media just a few years ago. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES: https://drdrew.com/5142026 」•• The CIA's admission was published after a 20-year CIA veteran dropped a bombshell under oath: Dr. Anthony Fauci intentionally influenced intelligence agencies to cover up the COVID-19 lab leak. Even worse, whistleblower James Erdman testified that the CIA illegally spied on the very investigators trying to uncover the truth. Salty Cracker @SaltyCracker returns to the show to rip into the deep state, the massive propaganda machine, and the long-awaited vindication for the medical freedom movement. Dr. Drew and Salty also react to the latest cultural insanity, from Gavin Newsom’s multimillion-dollar “free diaper” scandal tied to his wife’s nonprofit to TMZ's attempted hit piece about Spencer Pratt living at a hotel (because Karen Bass let his house burn down). Salty Cracker is an uncensored clown world commentator known for breaking the left with satire, shame, and ridicule. He is active on Rumble as TheSaltyCracker and on YouTube.
