  • URGENT: Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been shot

    Alex Berenson - Sep 10th 2025 3:25pm EDT

    He was speaking today at an event at Utah Valley University. The video shows him hit either in the upper chest or neck and blood gushing from the wound as he immediately stops speaking. Nothing yet has been reported about the shooter, but posts on X show an older white man in custody. Please put […]

  • Quick housekeeping note: we’ve ordered the Founding Member T-shirts.

    Alex Berenson - Sep 9th 2025 3:00pm EDT

    Also, we semi-accidentally ordered a few too many… which means if you are a founding member (the $300/year level on Substack) you can still get one, and if you are not, you can still upgrade here to get one. We aren’t ordering more, though – when they’re gone, they’re gone! — (Last chance to dance!) […]

  • On black violence, woke lies, and right-wing rage

    Alex Berenson - Sep 9th 2025 11:09am EDT

    You’ve seen the photo. A man stands behind a woman, his arms raised in a frenzy. She sits, focused on her phone, oblivious to the danger behind her. He is about to slash her neck and leave her to bleed to death. The man is black. The woman is white. And their races are no […]

  • Free speech no longer exists in Germany

    Alex Berenson - Sep 6th 2025 4:15pm EDT

    Americans have no idea how bad the European war on free speech has become. Last week, after writing about the insane arrest of Irish comedian Graham Linehan for violating British speech laws, I asked the Substacker who goes by the name Eugyppius for his take on the situation in Germany. As many of you know, […]

  • Why are Congress, the media, and health bureaucrats so desperate to see Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fail?

    Alex Berenson - Sep 5th 2025 4:24pm EDT

    The American healthcare system is a disaster, and it’s getting worse. That truth is inarguable. With 4 percent of the world’s people, the United States spends almost as much on medicine as every other country combined1. Yet our life expectancy badly trails other wealthy countries2, and the gap is growing. The signal event of American […]

  • A piece too good not to share (on why the EU-US trade deal was so YUGELY bad for Europe)

    Alex Berenson - Sep 5th 2025 12:17pm EDT

    I’m working on my own big-think piece about why everyone in Congress and the media hates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. so much when all he’s done is make a few minor changes to the mRNA jab schedule. (It’s not quite why you think.) But first I had to give you this from Eugyppius, a wise […]

  • Substack comes of age

    Alex Berenson - Sep 4th 2025 12:45pm EDT

    Last night, the news broke that Paramount Skydance — which owns CBS — is on the verge of buying the Free Press for up to $200 million. As you may know, Bari Weiss started the Free Press on Substack after quitting the New York Times in 2020. Since then, she has turned it into a […]

  • Free speech no longer exists in Britain

    Alex Berenson - Sep 3rd 2025 12:46pm EDT

    You can be forgiven for wondering if this story is fake. It isn’t. On Monday, an Irish comedian named Graham Linehan was returning to Britain from the United States when five police officers arrested him at Heathrow Airport. His crime: three posts on X about transgenderism from April. In one, Linehan wrote that a woman […]

  • URGENT: The Covid spike protein produced by mRNA jabs can activate reservoirs of HIV in infected people, new research shows

    Alex Berenson - Sep 2nd 2025 2:46pm EDT

    The Covid spike protein from mRNA Covid jabs can cause dormant HIV-infected cells to become active, scientists found in a pre-print posted last month. The research does not prove people with HIV who received mRNA shots are at higher risk for developing full-blown AIDS, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. But it provides yet more evidence of […]

  • URGENT: President Trump demands a reckoning on the Covid mRNA shots

    Alex Berenson - Sep 1st 2025 1:34pm EDT

    This morning, President Trump demanded Pfizer and other mRNA vaccine companies prove the Covid jabs worked as they claimed. The Covid jab makers “show me GREAT numbers and results, but they don’t seem to be showing them to many others,” he wrote in a post on his Truth Social network. “I want them to show […]

  • Team UT: the deadline for “Founding Member” T-shirts is TODAY

    Alex Berenson - Aug 25th 2025 11:30am EDT

    In June, I promised founding members “UTFM shirts.” Lucky me, I didn’t set a deadline. But the non-deadline has now arrived. Precisely at midnight1, the logistics coordinator and I are ordering T-shirts. But this is a one-time only offer, people.2 Once it’s gone, it’s gone. And this is the last email I’m sending on it.

  • Why does the left keep humiliating itself?

    Alex Berenson - Aug 24th 2025 5:28pm EDT

    Culture me harder, daddy. That seems to be the Democratic party motto these days. The left keeps finding exciting new ways to show how out-of-touch it has become with average Americans — particularly men. Voters are returning the favor. — A quick and hopefully amusing Sunday read for your pleasure. But first, two quick housekeeping […]

  • Okay, this is your last chance to get a free* Founding Member T-shirt

    Alex Berenson - Aug 22nd 2025 9:54am EDT

    To founding members (and soon-to-be founding members) – Back in June, I decided to offer you a free “UTFM” T-shirt available to you only.1 Turned out a lot of you wanted it – and I’ve been pretty busy this summer (three days playing poker in Las Vegas was as close as I got to a […]

  • How Covid lies radicalized so many of us

    Alex Berenson - Aug 21st 2025 7:26pm EDT

    A couple of years ago, waiting for an appointment, I found myself at an outdoor bar in downtown Manhattan. It was a warm summer weekday. The place was crowded with twenty- and thirty-somethings, flirting and drinking, rich and carefree. And suddenly I found myself thinking, I might be the only person in this place who […]

  • BREAKING: Donald Trump wins, New York lawfare loses.

    Alex Berenson - Aug 21st 2025 12:53pm EDT

    Justice at last. A New York state appellate court has thrown out the $464 million civil penalty1 a Manhattan judge had imposed against President Trump in February 2024. The appeals judges said the fine was “excessive” and violated the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishments. They tossed it entirely, a stunning rebuke […]

  • URGENT: The mRNA wars are heating up – fast

    Alex Berenson - Aug 20th 2025 12:37pm EDT

    The elite legacy media is suddenly fighting hard to keep taxpayer money flowing into the mRNA biotechnology black hole. The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times have all spent the last week talking up the supposed wonders of mRNA, the greatness of mRNA Covid jabs, and the need for endless “support” — […]

  • Another Covidian tells on herself

    Alex Berenson - Aug 19th 2025 2:52pm EDT

    Five years later, the Covidians keep telling us how selfish they were – and are. The newest, ugliest example comes in the wretched person of Molly Jong-Fast, and her wretched memoir mocking her 83-year-old mother, the novelist Erica Jong. Jong-Fast is the lefty media talking head who spent 2020 demanding lockdowns and refusing to leave […]

  • The view from medicine’s front lines on drugs and psychosis

    Alex Berenson - Aug 15th 2025 10:30am EDT

    I LOVE when you tip me to information, studies, or articles I didn’t know about. After yesterday’s piece on how random, psychosis-driven crime is driving fears of violence, a UT reader wrote, “Here’s another perspective from front line health care.” She linked to an article by Dr. Edwin Leap, who writes a Substack called Life […]

  • On cannabis, mental illness, and (fears of) random crime

    Alex Berenson - Aug 14th 2025 7:00pm EDT

    Since 2022, violent crime has plunged in the United States. Murders are down 49 percent this year compared to the same period in 2021 in Chicago. In Philadelphia, the drop is 60 percent (!) year-to-date compared to 2022. The trend is not confined to the biggest cities. New Orleans, St. Louis, Baltimore — the troubled, […]

  • URGENT: More mRNA, more disease.

    Alex Berenson - Aug 14th 2025 11:43am EDT

    People who received booster shots against Covid had a sharply higher risk of becoming ill with flu- or Covid-like symptoms, a new study has found. The study builds on earlier data from the Cleveland Clinic and provides the strongest evidence yet that mRNA shots make people more likely to suffer repeated respiratory illnesses over time […]

  • And the effort to blame mRNA skeptics for the CDC shooting begins

  • Pfizer’s chairman is increasingly desperate to cozy up to President Trump

    Alex Berenson - Aug 12th 2025 3:08pm EDT

    My, how Pfizer chairman Dr. Albert Bourla’s views on President Trump have changed. In October 2020, Pfizer sat on data that could have helped Trump win millions of votes against Joe Biden. In November 2022, Bourla called Trump (though not by name) an “agent of evil.”1 But now that Trump is back in the White […]

  • EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: How Dr. Jay Bhattacharya hopes to transform the National Institutes of Health (and just maybe all of science along the way)

    Alex Berenson - Aug 11th 2025 11:27am EDT

    (NOTE: The Jay Bhattacharya interview is exclusively paywalled for subscribers for a week. Sign up to hear it now!) Four months ago, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya left the academia version of heaven on earth — a tenured professorship at Stanford University — to run the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. The cross-country move gave […]

  • URGENT/Update: Good news… and bad

    Alex Berenson - Aug 10th 2025 12:17pm EDT

    Big weekend for the American media-medical-industrial complex. First, happy news. Yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration reinstated Dr. Vinay Prasad as the agency’s top regulator for vaccines and complex “biologic” drugs. Just weeks ago Prasad was forced out — in retaliation for demanding a drug company stop selling an unproven $3 million per-patient treatment that […]
