[00:00:07] I wish we had a TV expert to tell us what to do today. I hate relying on common sense. The Kate Dalley Show starts now.
[00:00:16] The reason I'm sitting here before you today is because there was a patient who had early SARS-2 and she was well enough to go home, which meant I as the ER doctor could prescribe something for her. She wasn't going to go upstairs. I prescribed hydroxychloroquine and zinc and I think I gave her Zithromax as well and I didn't think anything of it. I happened to call her two days later. She was doing great. It was my first one.
[00:00:37] I got a phone call that I was going to be fired if I ever did that again and I was stunned.
[00:00:42] Who is the call from?
[00:00:43] The call is from, it came from the CEO of the hospital who told my medical director to call me and I said, what's driving this? And he said, I don't think it works. I said, no problem. Don't prescribe it then. You practice as an individual, as do I. But why do you care what I'm practicing? I'm prescribing my patient.
[00:00:59] He said, well, you know, there's a big insurance company. It was Kaiser at this hospital and Kaiser put their foot down and told the hospital not to prescribe hydroxychloroquine.
[00:01:09] The clip came from Dr. Simone Gold, who I've had on the show and Dr. Simone Gold ended up going to prison for a couple of months because of this whole fiasco thing that we got handed with COVID.
[00:01:27] And now the select subcommittee after two long years finally pulled their heads out and realized that, hey, maybe that shouldn't have happened.
[00:01:36] So, yeah, we finally get that report. But it's amazing to me that it took this long.
[00:01:41] And it's amazing that as a doctor in a hospital, she could not give her patient hydroxychloroquine.
[00:01:48] Isn't that amazing? And zinc. Yeah.
[00:01:51] I have a very similar story in my own household.
[00:01:55] So it's just so sad to me.
[00:01:57] And I hope we never forget what just happened.
[00:02:00] And I hope you never, ever give all of your faith to hospital doctors that have a very, very hard time not listening to the administration slash government.
[00:02:11] So anyway, with enough said on.
[00:02:14] But I just had to play that Dr. Simone Gold clip with Tucker because it was so good.
[00:02:19] And she was just like, I can't believe this as a doctor.
[00:02:22] I can't believe what I just went through during that whole nonsense.
[00:02:26] And as that subcommittee came out and finally gives a report saying, yeah, we did more harm than good with those vaccine mandates.
[00:02:33] You think? Anyway, welcome to the show, Melissa Smith.
[00:02:36] How are you?
[00:02:37] I'm good.
[00:02:38] Excellent. Melissa comes on every Wednesday.
[00:02:40] And so we're going to be talking drones.
[00:02:42] This will be interesting.
[00:02:43] I can't wait to hear about this.
[00:02:45] And balloons.
[00:02:46] So where do you want to start?
[00:02:48] Let's let's rephrase that.
[00:02:50] We're going to be talking about a mystery.
[00:02:52] Oh, doesn't that sound better?
[00:02:54] Yes.
[00:02:54] We're going to talk about a mystery today because nobody really knows what is going on or why or even if it is drones.
[00:03:06] So let's let's dial it back and start with this.
[00:03:10] Do you remember that those Chinese weather balloons that were flying over?
[00:03:16] Well, we were told that they were weather balloons.
[00:03:20] Right.
[00:03:21] And it wasn't until people actually like visually saw them flying over that it became a story.
[00:03:27] Right.
[00:03:28] Right.
[00:03:28] And I had to go back and look up like how long ago was that?
[00:03:32] It was January and February of 2023.
[00:03:37] So we're coming up almost two years ago.
[00:03:40] Right.
[00:03:41] 2020 January of 2025.
[00:03:42] It would be two years.
[00:03:47] Anyway, what's interesting about those weather balloons and what I didn't realize about them was.
[00:03:54] So the ones in 2023 that remember they came across like Canadian airspace or they some of them were in Alaska and then Canada.
[00:04:06] They finally they kind of traversed the whole of the U.S.
[00:04:09] And they finally shot one down over territorial waters in South Carolina.
[00:04:16] Well, there were actually documentable five of those weather balloons or surveillance balloons or whatever you want to call them.
[00:04:28] And three of them happened during the Trump administration, two of them during the Biden administration.
[00:04:34] Right.
[00:04:35] But the only ones we were really aware of were the two in the Biden administration.
[00:04:40] OK.
[00:04:41] Because after those became a thing, the DOD and all of the people, you know, the national security apparatus went back and said, well, has this happened before?
[00:04:57] And they went back and identified three previous ones.
[00:05:01] Is that a strange story to you?
[00:05:03] Yeah, that's really strange.
[00:05:04] Kind of a weird story to me.
[00:05:05] That's bizarre.
[00:05:06] Yes.
[00:05:07] I'm with you.
[00:05:08] OK.
[00:05:09] Yeah.
[00:05:09] So that's the balloon story.
[00:05:14] And I'm telling that because it kind of connects to what's going on with this other piece of this.
[00:05:20] So now we are having a rash, literally a rash of what is being called these drone flyovers.
[00:05:34] OK.
[00:05:35] Of sensitive areas, both in the United States and in the UK.
[00:05:42] And you can actually get a little bit more information over what's happened in the UK.
[00:05:47] And, you know, news is weird and we know that.
[00:05:51] But they're a little bit more forthcoming in their reporting in the UK.
[00:05:55] There's these.
[00:05:57] What they're saying is some kind of lights that are flying in formation over sensitive military zones and restricted no fly zones that are affiliated somehow or other with the United States Air Force and slash military.
[00:06:22] OK.
[00:06:25] people like these aviation hobbyists are picking up chatter because you know there's there's
[00:06:35] websites where you can follow airplanes and trackers and all kinds of stuff and some of
[00:06:40] these aviation hobbyists are also following uh frequency bands that have chatter back and forth
[00:06:48] between pilots and all kinds of crazy stuff okay and they are hearing and kind of anonymously
[00:06:56] reporting that they're scrambling all kinds of high tech um aviation resources
[00:07:10] while these mysterious lights are flying over so the they the the british press has said
[00:07:21] or at least the british military has come out and said these are not hobby drones
[00:07:27] they're not they know they're not they're flying for example the no-fly zone you're not allowed to
[00:07:34] fly anything under 2 000 or 3 000 feet above or whatever above these military these no-fly zones
[00:07:43] so most hobbyists don't have drones with that kind of capability or that kind of communication
[00:07:50] capability and these are big drones one of them was described as the size of a car
[00:07:58] that's huge traveling with a fixed wing aircraft okay there were a fixed wing aircraft that's some
[00:08:06] kind of airplane yeah right yeah and they're hovering over military bases in the uk and people are taking
[00:08:16] video of them hmm but nobody knows what they are yeah so you've got the whole well maybe it's aliens
[00:08:26] could be or maybe it's chinese drones or maybe it's russian drones or
[00:08:36] lizard in my imagination maybe it's us doing it just to create the buzz
[00:08:43] or um just a you know diversion from what we're doing so i think they love it when people come up
[00:08:49] with alien stories you know uh they're hitting they're hitting two balls with the bat right there
[00:08:54] so well you know the alien story has always been the the default position if nothing else will sell
[00:09:01] we'll sell them aliens right yeah oh gosh well it's not just in the uk though so we can go all the way
[00:09:10] back to that same time zone when they were flying the chinese balloons across the u.s okay and find out
[00:09:17] they were also reporting drone flyovers over langley air force base in virginia oh interesting
[00:09:25] so what what else what happens at langley air force base that's the home of seal team six that's the
[00:09:33] home of the cia that's the home of all kinds of military intel yeah basically you would think that
[00:09:40] somebody in our government would be really interested in figuring out what this is oh that's funny
[00:09:46] huh so same time huh that's weird in that same time frame and it continues when in one of the
[00:09:54] one of the articles that i pulled said so we don't call them ufos anymore they're called unidentified
[00:10:01] like aviation i don't know some kind of new acronym whatever there have been 757 of these things
[00:10:09] unidentified whatever's that have been seen in the skies over relatively sensitive areas they found
[00:10:19] them they've identified them flying over nuclear facilities in nevada they found them at several
[00:10:27] different locations in like i said in virginia right now most recently within the last week
[00:10:35] they've been flying over morris county new jersey what's in morris county new jersey who knows
[00:10:42] it's a bedroom community to what or to new york city trump has a golf course there right are the
[00:10:50] chinese really like maybe they're picking up some hot golf pro tips i think if they're saying chinese
[00:10:55] it has nothing to do with the chinese and i think if they say it's some sort of spy balloon it's it's
[00:11:00] i don't think it is i think it's something completely different or it's a total distraction to something
[00:11:05] else they're flying it has to be because whatever they say is opposite bill it's how it always is
[00:11:09] with these guys the interesting part of this is that nobody seems to be able to muster enough courage
[00:11:16] or interest to like oh yeah we're tracking it down we got it mostly it's people who are observing this
[00:11:23] right who are like what the heck is that well now they just within the last little bit within the last
[00:11:28] month they arrested a chinese national who admitted that he was flying a drone over the uh norfolk
[00:11:39] where they build all the ships the shipyard and he said he was doing he was flying over with a drone
[00:11:46] and he was arrested as he boarded a uh an airline outbound from california to to mainland china
[00:11:55] right so he's a so and he's been charged with espionage so he's the patsy so well whatever
[00:12:01] they're covering up i mean it's just so funny to me it's like it's kind of like the um underground
[00:12:06] booms nobody seems to know what that is either those underground sonic booms that go off right it's
[00:12:14] the same thing it's like up and underneath it's like nobody can come up with anything cohesive
[00:12:19] in an answer so what makes one wonder right well what it makes me wonder is if if nobody in the uk
[00:12:27] had their cell phone out was taking pictures of it would we even hear about it now if nobody in the
[00:12:33] united states was saying looking up and saying what is that would anybody be talking about it and i
[00:12:40] suspect maybe not however they have scrambled jets like fighter jets that have all kinds of like cloaking
[00:12:47] capability we'll be right back more with melissa smith when i and local fundraisers the canyon media
[00:13:02] gives back program is one of the many ways we support southern utah if you would like this is the

[00:15:06] we're gonna move on back past the mystery because there's just not much else we can say about it right
[00:15:12] something nefarious but okay but you know this is a mystery that i'm gonna kind of put on the front
[00:15:20] burner of my like start watching for news on that because there's more forthcoming about this yeah you
[00:15:27] know there's a reason why over in the uk and germany they're telling people like hey you need to be ready
[00:15:34] for nuclear war here real soon and we're not hearing that but it looks like somebody's poking around and
[00:15:43] probing maybe it's just to see what kind of i can imagine that some agent out there wants to know
[00:15:50] how we would respond and they're they're they're drawing people out aren't they they're drawing f-16s
[00:15:57] out to come and look hard to say okay so let's go from a mystery to a certainty so australia as we know
[00:16:07] has not been performing very much like a free western sort of place of late and now they have passed um
[00:16:18] a very tough social media ban for um that will stop or prevent their under 16 age people from accessing
[00:16:31] social media platforms so if you're under 16 you will not be able to get onto facebook instagram
[00:16:38] snapchat reddit or x i don't know about twitter or excuse me about tiktok um but perhaps tiktok is
[00:16:48] already banned i don't know i don't know i don't i don't see much difference i see a little more freedom
[00:16:53] to speak um on tiktok a lot of people are i'm sure there's there's lots of screwy things too but
[00:17:02] people do get a lot of good information too on tiktok and then of course instagram kind of
[00:17:08] bans because it's all owned by um same same corporations behind meta and behind facebook and
[00:17:14] and instagram they're all it's all kind of network together by the same so they're all you know
[00:17:20] infused with censorship and things like that but um how do you feel about the spam well
[00:17:29] i have lots of thoughts about parental responsibility to start with so you gotta know how was how are
[00:17:37] these things always sold we're just trying to keep our children safe right well i just don't know why
[00:17:46] the government's doing it i mean parents should parents should do it but it's bizarre to me when
[00:17:51] the government steps in but then i understand that you i mean having kids off social media would be a
[00:17:57] total blessing don't get me wrong right total blessing right because it's not doing them any favors
[00:18:03] right um you know this is a discussion we had a while back at my house my oh my both my kids are
[00:18:12] quite a bit older than this now but uh my kids didn't have phones as long as like way until i
[00:18:22] think my oldest son was in high he was a senior in high school before he had a phone and my youngest i
[00:18:30] think he was about the same it was you know it was at the point at which they were starting to drive

[00:21:17] melissa back to this back to this topic that you brought up because it is interesting it's a mixed
[00:21:22] bag because um when government gets involved um i don't like it so i don't like that aspect at all
[00:21:28] um but we need to get kids off social media this is it's hurting them it's gross it is and the
[00:21:36] exemptions in australia are very interesting so they're saying no kids under 16 allowed on social
[00:21:45] media with the exception of health and education services including youtube messenger kids whatsapp
[00:21:54] kids helpline and google classroom i would guess any amount of money that those are places that are very
[00:22:05] heavily propagandized in certain areas so we're not going to give unfiltered access but we're going to
[00:22:14] give you access in these places where they're going to drive kids using social media to government
[00:22:22] approved sources and you know i've seen that here you know that means nothing like the government
[00:22:30] the government approved okay tell me what it means like from what you saw well the school like when my
[00:22:36] kids were in high school and they had to do a research paper they couldn't use internet resources
[00:22:42] they had to go through school approved sources and those school approved sources only had one point
[00:22:50] of view on many issues like my son did a oh he did something on you know second amendment rights
[00:22:58] and if you only are going through the school approved sources you can't find anything that defends the
[00:23:06] second amendment okay and so think about it that way so what in google classroom or on youtube what is
[00:23:17] available that might not be what you want your kids to look at and so for me where the rubber really hits
[00:23:27] the road is these are parent issues and struggles i'm not saying that it's great for you know i i don't
[00:23:35] approve of putting young children on the internet and just like woohoo you know have fun right but i think
[00:23:41] it's a parent issue too and i think parents have really abdicated a lot of responsibility
[00:23:48] for monitoring and controlling some of this um you know parents need to step up and say
[00:23:55] you know you don't really need a phone you don't really need access to any of this stuff
[00:24:00] not in our house right i'm with you it it's better better that way well anyway i'm i'm with you though
[00:24:08] on that i think it's better that way the parents need to need to not leave it up to the schools and and
[00:24:14] you know schools should be wise enough to say these are you know inside the classroom in public
[00:24:20] government schools you know they should say these are the parameters right so we don't i yeah i bet but
[00:24:27] these are the same schools that are putting in porn books and saying it's fine so do i trust the
[00:24:32] schools no get your kids out right but you're much better interestingly enough in the netherlands
[00:24:38] they do not have any law regarding a minimum age for social media use but they have banned mobile devices
[00:24:47] in classrooms which i think is brilliant yeah i would really like to see not necessarily even
[00:24:58] by government policy but just by school policy you cannot have a cell phone in a classroom
[00:25:06] and i understand and many parents give their kids phones because there are safety issues my kid is
[00:25:12] going home to an empty house they need to have access whatever but there is no reason for any student
[00:25:21] you know if you have to have a phone leave it in your locker during the daytime when you're in class
[00:25:25] you don't need a phone when you're in in class yeah i don't like them in class i don't yeah i'm with
[00:25:31] you the odd thing about this whole you know what age do they let somebody on to um the the bad side of
[00:25:38] that i remember when they were first trying to do this was the government being in charge because the
[00:25:44] government then was creating data mining of our youth so a kid who is not an adult but now you have
[00:25:52] a footprint of this kid um and know a lot more details about this kid because then you have to
[00:25:58] create these profiles to go online right or um answer questions it was just more linking of data
[00:26:04] and more data on our youth which i didn't like so that was kind of the bad side of what of also
[00:26:11] besides it being government because government sucks but but but anything they touch it falls apart and
[00:26:17] is a mess but but that was kind of the other thing that they were trying to do which is curious right
[00:26:22] yeah it is the other thing is the social media companies themselves have established the uh over
[00:26:31] 13 rule they facebook will tell you you have to be over 13 a lot of places in the world have gone to a
[00:26:40] well you have to be over 13 it's a drop in in minorship right so that age of 13 just like the
[00:26:48] tickets to disneyland everything's becoming about 13 13 13 instead of 18 right the shift
[00:26:54] yeah maybe making our kids adults early yep but there there a lot of places are saying okay you have
[00:27:00] to be over 13 and if you are under 16 you still have to have parental permission
[00:27:05] but you know in in the world of online activity you know how do you police this how is the government
[00:27:15] going to police this that's what i'm talking about is those creating of um the digital files of people
[00:27:21] that way they've got a lot more data on our youth but um i yeah it's it's a it's a weird it's a weird
[00:27:28] thing that that the government is so insistent it's like this in mental health they're very insistent
[00:27:34] on getting their claws in and i don't like that because anytime government wants to get their claws
[00:27:38] in um they just make a royal mess out of everything and it's usually um treasonous illegal or you know
[00:27:47] unconstitutional and usually always unconstitutional at this point well i i would definitely say to all
[00:27:53] the parents out there you know you can get your if your child needs access to communication with you
[00:28:00] through the day get them a flip phone those are still available you can do that i'd say every child
[00:28:05] does not need does not need access to the internet at every moment wouldn't it be funny though if
[00:28:11] parents just got walkie talkies if they really have to talk to their kids they can talk on a walkie
[00:28:18] talkie walkie talkies have limited act you know they have limited area coverage so
[00:28:23] yeah that would be fine i used to do that with my kids i used because i was like i want my kids to
[00:28:29] have the experience of being able to go out of my house without me and we had a little play area
[00:28:34] in our neighborhood and i would send them with a walkie talkie that's exactly what we did be right
[00:28:40] back cape daly show see we got all the answers be right back cape daly show cape daly radio.com
[00:28:45] this is the cape daly show
[00:29:10] you know what's amazing is that baby it's cold outside was a problem
[00:29:15] then listen to the lyrics of all the other music
[00:29:20] mother might be standing at the door you know what i mean like that is our biggest problem
[00:29:25] oh gosh we're in we're in we're in a world of hurt people um and let's just hope we can get rid of that
[00:29:30] nonsense now that was that was prevalent with uh king dingaling and his little sidekick um hormala
[00:29:38] so you know let's just hope right let's just hope that that kind of stuff goes away i have a feeling
[00:29:43] it will actually um which is nice which is nice we got bigger fish to fry but it's nice welcome back
[00:29:48] to the show and of course melissa you gotta you gotta study yeah i want to hear this i've always wanted
[00:29:53] to be someone's sidekick can i be your sidekick sure it'll be my sidekick okay oh gosh i want to be a
[00:30:00] sidekick okay go ahead uh you have a study i want to hear this well the last thing we'll talk about
[00:30:06] today the brookings institute has just put out a really interesting uh report on yet another impact
[00:30:15] from covid like we haven't heard enough about this already right apparently there's what they're calling
[00:30:22] an urgency gap now yeah it is the gap between students declining performance on standardized testing
[00:30:34] and their relative stability of their grade point averages so what that means is the same percentage
[00:30:42] of kids are getting a's same percentage getting b's c's d's whatever but their performance post covid
[00:30:50] on standardized testing is declining which means mostly well we can attribute this to a lot of
[00:30:59] different things our teachers curving their grades are teachers teaching easier topics or have they
[00:31:08] eliminated harder subjects so you can expect that at some point here in the very near future we're going
[00:31:15] to see standardized testing kind of take a dip too yeah because and i don't mean the scores from the
[00:31:23] testing i just mean the actual criteria for the test is going to take a dip because well we don't want
[00:31:29] our students to look dumber than they ever have been so they just keep lowering the bar they're going to
[00:31:34] lower the bar on testing effort as if it's not lowered enough so yeah right how gross yeah if you go
[00:31:42] back and read those like this is what eighth graders could do in 1906 compared to now and you're just like
[00:31:49] oh my gosh it's crazy but yeah we need to be aware of that and parents especially need to be aware that
[00:31:57] this this report points out that most parents judge what their their their children's success
[00:32:05] based on their report card what grades are they bringing home if you're bringing home a straight
[00:32:10] day report card you're doing fine right and what brookings is pointing out is maybe not so much
[00:32:16] maybe your child may look fine on paper on that report card but what they actually know compared to
[00:32:25] what they should be able to do at this point may be in decline so they're asking parents like please
[00:32:35] take advantage of some of the the tutoring services that are available apparently yet again the government
[00:32:43] has funneled a pile of money into getting students that were caught by covid caught up and back to where
[00:32:52] they should be but we think that covid had no impact or there are those who want us to believe that
[00:33:00] right who would have guessed this impact well i'll tell you i have i have a son who's in working in
[00:33:08] education and he sees it all the time and i've had conversations with him and with other people involved
[00:33:15] in education are students really different post covid than they were before and everybody says yes
[00:33:20] yeah they are different they're they're less responsive to instruction
[00:33:26] their love who knows why i don't i don't have a theory about why that is but there's a whole host of
[00:33:34] things that have happened to students who are caught in the school system with co not with covid they
[00:33:43] weren't sick but during those covid years during the lockdown years and they still have not recovered
[00:33:49] academically yeah yeah it's terrible it is terrible it's terrible what they did and now that that's
[00:33:56] select subcommittee gosh of government is coming out uh um and saying that yeah what we did uh uh not
[00:34:06] supported by science at all and yeah more harm than good and think about what they did in the schools
[00:34:11] to those kids think about how parents had to beg beg the schools and this is how horrific the school
[00:34:19] boards were and they just wouldn't even listen to the parents they were like nope this is what our
[00:34:24] our health department said so therefore we don't care didn't even didn't even matter if it made sense
[00:34:28] and they put our kids through utter hell they they well separated them at lunch i mean it was just utter
[00:34:34] hell for them one of the things that brookings is suggesting is we don't know all of the reasons why
[00:34:42] that account for this decline in standardized test scoring but they are suggesting that one of them may be
[00:34:50] increased student anxiety that students are skittish about you know things in general right that um it may
[00:35:02] not be so much knowledge gap as it is a performance anxiety problem which is also very interesting if you
[00:35:10] consider what covid did to a lot of people right um even if i think about my own experience it kind of
[00:35:17] changed my frame of reference even in in many cases about what i was willing to do and what i'm not willing
[00:35:24] to do now and it i think generally speaking i think it it agitated anxiety in many many people
[00:35:33] yeah for sure so undoubtedly teachers have also adjusted post covid they have they had to do more
[00:35:42] review which means less content is being covered because there was this big two-year gap for a lot of kids
[00:35:48] yeah yeah so i had a boy graduate in 2020 and it was such a joke of a year and uh it was just such a
[00:35:57] joke and the parents acted like complete nimrods about covid and the schools acted even more moronic
[00:36:04] and it was a sad sight to see everybody act without a brain like just no brain at all it was just whatever
[00:36:12] somebody told them was true and therefore don't think about what you're actually doing and they put
[00:36:16] they just put the kids through hell my my son's um senior year was just awful it was horror it was
[00:36:22] horrific and um i i wish my my biggest fondest wish as a as a as a person sitting now i just wish i
[00:36:31] would have taken them out and put them in um and just homeschooled them i really if i could go back
[00:36:37] in time that is the one thing i would probably really change without a hesitation well brookings also
[00:36:44] points out here in this report we have to tread very lightly on this because we have so many students
[00:36:50] with so many mental health problems that if we if we don't do anything that we're just going to
[00:36:59] exacerbate their horrible mental health issues oh my gosh yeah so you know read the tea leaves here
[00:37:06] it'll it'll be about that i mean i know we have to go to the end of the hour but you know what it'll be
[00:37:12] more and more about everything will be done for the sake of mental health they're going to actually
[00:37:16] turn them mental because of what they're going to do with all of these little things um thank you
[00:37:22] well mental health is going to be the big excuse to lower the bar further 100 great observation
[00:37:28] thank you and of course uh yeah i i go to kate dally radio.com and share this with people you know
[00:37:36] please all right thanks melissa checked now is the time to get your furnace tuned up and for only 79
[00:37:48] you will get it done right
