In this episode, I discuss the Chinese Communist Party and their monetary influence in higher education and public health. The original on-air broadcast was heard on July 5 on WSB Radio in Atlanta, GA. WSB can be heard on 95.5FM, AM750, using the WBS Radio app, iHeart Radio app or by going to the WSB Radio website . Before getting to the subject, I spend a few minutes discussing news and how there is no longer one source for everything you need. News is packaged and marketed to a targeted audien...

In this episode, I was able to sit down with Stacey Lennox who has been writing for PJ Media since April of 2020. Prior to that, she was a writer for The Resurgent. As a new media news investigator, Stacey works incessantly at cutting through the mainstream media clutter and disinformation. She always strives for details and provides links so the reader can follow their own inquiries. We discuss the now obvious propaganda perpetrated by top public health officials, scientists and the mainstream ...

In this episode, we look at the latest revelation a large number of influential scientists did not want to investigate the possibility of a lab leak from the Wuhan Lab of Virology. Why? Not because of science or factual information. Rather, these scientists did NOT want to look like they were supporting President Donald J. Trump. Back in May of 2020, Dr. Alina Chan was pushing hard to get the scientific community to look into the Wuhan Lab. Rather than showing an interest in science, facts or in...

In this excerpt from my Saturday show, "Waking Up with Alan," I spend time discussing how the censoring of speech led to a campaign of disinformation from the top of public health and elected leadership. There is a growing body of evidence showing how public officials put pressure on private companies like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to pull content they didn't like. That is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment. What's worse, some of the information that had been squashed, is now being vali...

In this episode, I break down many of the revelations from the emails of Dr. Fauci related to the entire Covid-19 pandemic. The emails, released through a Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), confirm what may of us have been trying to say, he has not been truthful at all. We have the leader of public health in our country, saying one thing to the public at large and the opposite to his colleagues. His stance on masks, on HCQ, the virus's origin, funding gain-of-function research and overall publ...

In today's segment, Susan Delmonico of SJD Health and Fitness, joins to discuss sugar in our diet. Sugar is linked with so many health issues beyond obesity. From disease to diabetes, acne to inflammation, sugar should be limited as much as possible. To give you an idea, one 16 oz. can of regular soda has more sugar in it than the current recommended guidelines for a healthy diet. Susan also reminds us how food manufacturers will hide the term "sugar" by using other names for it. Some of the com...

Today's episode of Waking Up With Alan focuses a lot on the discussion of raising the minimum wage. There is also a lot of discussion around the term "living wage." Both of these ideas are nonsense. No one should think of an entry level job as one where you can make enough to live a comfortable life. Similarly, who defines the minimum standards for "living." It's a term meant to sound compassionate and caring without any regard to reality. You are only worth whatever someone is willing to pay fo...

I had a chance to fill-in on the Erick Erickson Show. For those who missed all or part, I am going to release each hour of each day (with commercial breaks edited out) so you can listen at your leisure. In hour three on Wednesday, I opened with a piece written by the interim Chief of Police for the Atlanta Police Department. The chief goes after both the mayor and Fulton County DA, both who seem more interested in playing politics instead of doing their jobs. This returns to the discussion of wh...

In hour two on Wednesday, I opened asking the question of the goal of the protests? What is the end-game? What is the expected outcome? Then I ask, how does mass chaos, violence and continued lawlessness help to achieve those ends? The mayor of Atlanta, in the wake of all the violence, decides to...

For those who missed all or part, I am going to release each hour of each day (with commercial breaks edited out) so you can listen at your leisure. In hour one on Wednesday, we dive into the breathless reporting of the Covid-19 numbers. The numbers are constantly being conflated with pieces of information, but not the whole picture. This leads to an article published by a life-long immunologist from Switzerland who believes Covid-19 has been...

I had the chance to talk again with the CEO of the Cartersville Medical Center, Chris Mosley, about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and how it is being handled by the hospital. We spent a good amount of time encouraging the community to not forego medical appointments or trips to the ER. There is no reason to fear being infected by going to the doctor or the hospital. With increased testing, the numbers of infections rises, but the hospitalizations remains very low and the mortality has been non-e...

I had the chance to sit down with Dr. Tim Ryan and get his thoughts about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the data and how it is affecting our daily lives. Part of the discussion relates to the mortality rate of those 70 and under versus those over 70 and how that information isn't being made more clear. In addition, we discuss how some groups are being encouraged to meet in mass gatherings while others are not. Is the virus smart enough to know which gatherings to avoid and which to target? It's...

In the first interview of the New Year, my guest, personal trainer, Susan Delmonico of SJD Health and Fitness, spent time talking about the one thing so many of us do at the start of a new year. Many of us make resolutions, but over 90% of us will not keep them throughout the rest of the year. Susan spends some time helping us find ways to keep those resolutions. She also comments on whether or not the resolutions we've made are specific and achievable. If they are not, you will always fail. How...

After more witnesses took the stand in the open inquiry, we noticed the exact same pattern as with week one. Whatever the witness prepared in their opening or were asked by Chairman Schiff would give us one set of headlines to start the day, only to be reversed by the end of the day. Schiff knows a lie makes its way halfway around the world before the truth gets out of bed and he leveraged that to his advantage. Propaganda travels faster than fact and it's to that idea the democrats have pinned ...

We always bring in a practicing physician for our "Physicians 3rd Saturday" show to discuss topics in healthcare. In this episode, we start off discussing the difference between the terms "healthcare" and "health costs." Too often they are used interchangeably. They are no where close to the same. What we are seeing is the more restrictions placed on the health insurance and healthcare industry, the more expensive it gets and the less helpful it becomes. Other areas of our economy provide better...

After two days of open hearings into the possible impeachment of president Donald J. Trump, one commonality with all of the witnesses (thus far) is abundantly clear -- no one had any direct knowledge. We have witnesses testifying to how they felt, what they thought, what they believed and how they interpreted what they had been told by others. We had rumor, innuendo and hearsay as the pillars for Adam Schiff's opening volley to be used against the president. I decided to break down those two day...

I took some time recently trying to wrap my head around the impeachment discussion related to the "whistleblower." I put that in quotes because I am still trying to understand how someone with no first-hand knowledge of a situation can possibly weigh-in on any wrongdoing? As we discover more, we are starting to see a similar pattern emerge that once surrounded the Mueller investigation. Information was planted, someone makes an accusation based on that information, senior officials are contacted...

We try to always bring in a personal trainer on the first weekend of each month. It's called a #Fitness1stSaturday! The goal is to start each month trying to inspire listeners to make health and fitness a priority in their lives. This month, we discussed the oncoming holiday season. With Halloween in the rear view mirror, we will soon be tempted with office parties, holiday gatherings, luncheons, end-of-year dinners and more. The question: how do you stop from gaining 30 pounds by the time Janua...

We were also joined by Walt Murray, my co-host of our podcast, The Wilder Ride. We spent time discussing what HRT is. Then we moved into talking about how doctors determine if you are a viable candidate for hormone replacement. There seems to be some mixed feelings within the medical community. Some endocrinologists feel it does not reall...
