In the first episode of our deep dive into the disastrous California “bullet” train, we cover the inauguration of California’s new golden boy Governor, Gavin Newsom. We also talk to Ralph Vartabedian who has been covering the California bullet train for 7 years. He describes how it has gone “off the rails” through poor planning and management, and says it won’t be completed before 2040 despite the original projection of 2020! Billions have been spent yet not a single track has been laid.Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshowWebsite: www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook:  www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: www.instagram/hiddentruthshow.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC6LplGp0FMkS42uY5NVTOXg

We sit down with Producer Greg Horvath who reveals that recovery centers, such as Betty Ford, charge $30-50K a month yet have no proven success rate, do not utilize modern medicine, and rely on the 12 step program. Their only advice to those leaving: go to AA meetings. No wonder it is a revolving door…Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshowWebsite: www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook:  www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: www.instagram/hiddentruthshow.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC6LplGp0FMkS42uY5NVTOXg

Incredibly, Route 91 survivors are subjected to another mass shooting by a lone wolf with no known motive. One was among the 12 killed. We talk to The Local Malibu editor Cece Woods about the shooting, the Malibu fire that coincidentally started nearby the very next day, and the unexplained Malibu Canyon shootings which took place in the months leading up to the Borderline shooting.Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshowWebsite: www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook:  www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: www.instagram/hiddentruthshow.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC6LplGp0FMkS42uY5NVTOXg

Dr. Mark Willenbring directed the NIH division responsible for funding research grants on alcohol treatment to Universities. He found that modern, scientific treatments were not being exposed to the masses as 85% of treatment in the U.S. relies on the outdated 12 step program.  He wants to change that.Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshowWebsite: www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook:  www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: www.instagram/hiddentruthshow.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC6LplGp0FMkS42uY5NVTOXg

One of the world’s foremost experts on sexual orientation, gender identity, sex addiction, and pedophilia states that the American Academy of Pediatricians’ recently issued Policy Statement on the proper care for transgender children is not supported by the very research upon which it claims to be based.  He says it is “scary” that the AAP is telling pediatricians to “affirm” the gender that exists only in the child’s head.Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshowWebsite: www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook:  www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: www.instagram/hiddentruthshow.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC6LplGp0FMkS42uY5NVTOXg

One of the country’s foremost experts on addiction explains that we focus too much on the substances, not enough on the individual. We are not powerless over these drugs, as the 12 step program would have you believe. We just need to be aware, use common sense, and engage in worthy pursuits.Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshowWebsite: www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook:  www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: www.instagram/hiddentruthshow.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC6LplGp0FMkS42uY5NVTOXg
