Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Wherever you are out there in the world, all I have to say is happy new year.

And thank you for joining us here on the High Wire. I hope to hangovers of Warren Off. We're all ready. We're alive. We're ready to charge forward.

My staff and I are still currently on vacation preparing for a brand new season of the High Wire with all new issues and brilliance coming your way.

But while we're planning on that, I want to air one of my favorite shows. Where else would you get Bobby Kennedy Jr., Jenny McCarthy, JB Hanley, and Ralph Hazelhurst all in the same room on the High Wire in New York City.

This episode was called the Brave Ones and I think you'll know why we call it that right now. Enjoy.

A brand new book by JB Hanley came online. It's called How to End the Autism Epidemic. It's selling out all over the country. And JB Hanley, whether you know him or not, you may remember him on television because he made a splash with this appearance on the Doctor's television show.

This is JB Hanley. From 1994, we added eight vaccines to our schedule. It doesn't take a brain surgeon or an ER doctor to figure out there might be a correlation.

Vaccines have been studied. I'm so sick of doctors who don't read the studies who don't know the details sitting here telling parents and reassuring them the vaccines don't cause autism. It is irreversible.

And this is the biggest problem and the reason that the doctors in this country are frustrated because listen, all you're doing is you're antagonizing a medical community that wants to help these kids.

You're antagonizing me. You're antagonizing Dr. Sears. Why would you do that?

JB Hanley. You obviously lit it up on the Doctor's television show. You're famous for. We play that clip every time we talk to you. Every time.

It's a lot of fun because someone that I've never really seen I worked with Travis Stork so often I never really saw him get rattled like that. It was a rare moment.

But I think for those of us watching when we see that video we see what looks like a father against the doctor. A father who apparently haven't an injured child yourself.

But you are so eloquent and so clear. Tell me about your story. How did you get into this and why were you so effective in that moment on television?

The first thing I would say is that I think that Travis hit a nerve in a lot of people because there's a flippancy and an arrogance about the average physician and it really manifests on this vaccine issue where so many pediatricians they shut parents down.

And he let everybody see that on a national stage. And what was different in that situation was that I had literally just gotten done reading every bit of science on this topic that existed to that point.

And I was astonished when I realized that all this talk about the science has been done on vaccines and autism. There was one vaccine, a MMR and one ingredient, Thymyrusol, that had actually been studied.

To me, that's not a comprehensive study of whether or not vaccines cause autism.

Not only 16 vaccines we get to our children.

My son goes into a two-month point but they line up six vaccines, they give them two in ten minutes. You say, well MMR doesn't cause autism. Guess what, Del?

The MMR didn't come till 12 months of age. At the two, four, and six-month appointment, they have no idea whether or not they might be causing autism.

In my book, Dr. Pocken reveals that DTP and autism have never been studied. He actually concedes it. One of the titans of the mainstream vaccine world.
