From Provocateur to Professor: My Bet-David Interview Meets Journalism 101
A quick update for Just the Facts subscribers. Today, my interview dropped with Patrick Bet-David on his wildly successful PBD Podcast. I don’t remember ever covering as many big topics in a single interview as I did in this. We got in 5 hours of news and controversy in under 2.
Some highlights: (0:00:00) Intro | (0:01:54) Big Pharma & Cocaine | (0:15:40) Pharma Families | (0:28:20) Oxycodone & Vaccines | (0:38:49) Vaccine Injury Act | (0:50:44) Xanax & Panic Attacks | (0:55:26) Puberty Blockers | (1:06:10) Saudis & 9/11 | (1:23:13) Epstein & Trump | (1:31:10) JFK Assassination | (1:40:48) Netanyahu & Antisemitism | (1:55:38) Traditional Catholics & Jews
And in separate news, I will be teaching later this month an 8-hour online course—Journalism 101: How To Think Like an Investigative Reporter— for the Peterson Academy.
For any of you who are in the Phoenix area on October 27 and 28th, you can register to attend the live recording of the course. It will get you one year free access to the Peterson Academy. Register here
In the meantime, thanks to everyone for your continued support, the many direct messages, and the occasional tips that lead to new stories.




I enjoyed the show it was very illuminating especially the history of the pharmaceutical industry in the US.
The breadth of topics you coverd in under two hours is impressve. Patrick has a way of letting guests dive deep without interrupting, which seems perfct for investigative journalists who need space to explain complex narratives. That pharmaceutcal history segment must have been eye opening for his audience.
