Folks, I have a question. Why are so many millennials stroking out? We've got a new study out that says millennials are having strokes at a younger age and a faster rate than ever before in American history. We're going to explain that. And also, of course, that little that little issue that might be coming up soon later this year called World War Three.

00:00:52.820
And today, today I'm announcing that the United States will be sending 31 Abram tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion.
00:01:13.820
Secretary Austin has recommended this step because it will enhance the Ukraine's capacity to defend its territory and achieve its strategic objectives.
00:01:22.820
The Abram tanks are the most capable tanks in the world. They're also extremely complex to operate and maintain. So we're also giving Ukraine the parts and equipment necessary to effectively sustain these tanks on the battlefield.
00:01:36.780
And we'll begin to train the Ukrainian troops on these issues of sustainment, logistics and maintenance as soon as possible.
00:01:44.060
And therefore, I've said already in the last days, yes, we have to do more to defend Ukraine. Yes, we have to do more also on tanks.
00:01:52.820
But the most important and the crucial part is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game in Europe because we are fighting a war against Russia and not against each other. Thank you.
00:02:08.340
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard. Today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning Point USA.
00:02:20.560
So declares the German foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock.
00:02:27.720
The millennial or my favorite millennial foreign minister in the world.
00:02:33.320
But, you know, it's interesting about Annalena Baerbock, because if you look at her background, she's actually a member of the Green Party.
00:02:41.220
She's also one of the founders of the pan-European Green Party.
00:02:44.380
If you look at the beliefs of the Green Party, you find out that one thing that they stand for, as opposed to everybody else, is depopulation.
00:02:55.040
So apparently we're going to achieve the depopulation goals of the Green Party through nuclear war.
00:03:02.420
Then again, what is the carbon footprint of a nuclear holocaust?
00:03:08.840
But of course, here's Joe Biden, our illustrious president, weekend at Biden's.
00:03:14.280
You know, I actually said earlier today on Twitter that we, you know, somebody asked me, they said,
00:03:19.920
is this something that's going to demand that Russia put forward a declaration of war?
00:03:26.920
And I said, well, look, this isn't a video game.
00:03:37.340
It's not like you cross one line and automatically are in war.
00:03:40.420
No, these are these are human beings making human decisions, except for the United States,
00:03:44.480
where we have Weekend at Bernie's plus Raytheon and Lockheed running the entire show.
00:03:50.360
And he says, today I'm announcing that the United States will be sending 31 Abrams tanks,
00:03:55.800
not Stacey Abrams, you guys with the memes, cut that off.
00:04:04.020
But he emphasized that Germany's decision was central in his decision to authorize the Leopard 2 tanks
00:04:13.300
He also sought to emphasize, to emphasize, this is about helping Ukraine defend and protect Ukrainian land.
00:04:26.860
We're giving that they are non-offensive tanks, defensive tanks, apparently.
00:04:30.400
I didn't know that people made such a thing as defensive tanks.
00:04:33.820
If they're defensive, what do they have the treads for?
00:04:39.900
If there's no reason to go on a fence, couldn't you just plant them?
00:04:45.320
Are they going to send them over without the treads?
00:04:47.260
Maybe they're just going to take the motors out of them and just leave the gun turrets.
00:04:53.840
Obviously, they're going to be used for offenses and counter-offensives.
00:04:58.500
The problem, of course, is that Russia has over 1,000 tanks that are currently in the field
00:05:05.760
And they have the capacity to make something like 10,000 tanks per year.
00:05:09.600
So 31 Abrams tanks is not really going to make that much of a difference in terms of it
00:05:16.180
because you have to understand the fundamentals of the situation are not changed.
00:05:24.080
That's actually not wrong because you can't change the fundamentals.
00:05:28.100
You also can't change the fundamentals that one is a nuclear nation and one is not.
00:05:34.300
And I get pushed back all the time when I talk about Ukraine and people say, oh, but
00:05:38.880
Poso, you know, they're like the founding fathers.
00:05:44.340
They're trying to fight for their freedom against an oppressive imperial Russia from Moscow that's
00:05:49.860
trying to stomp their foot on the necks of the proud Ukrainian people and the people
00:05:55.300
And that's why we have to defend them, et cetera, et cetera.
00:05:57.220
And I say, okay, but there's a difference between, there's a lot, I mean, obviously a
00:06:02.480
lot of differences between this and 1776, but one of the main differences that I think
00:06:06.980
we should all, regardless of what your feelings are, that we should all understand here is
00:06:11.640
that the British empire didn't have nuclear weapons.
00:06:29.420
So this is why that when you're dealing with a nuclear power, every single presidential
00:06:35.720
administration throughout the entire cold war, and this is why the cold war remained
00:06:41.840
a cold war, because we understood that you must have rapprochement, that you must have
00:06:48.880
diplomacy with a country that has the ability to destroy all of humanity.
00:06:57.860
So it would be in their interests to sue for peace.
00:07:02.980
And it would be in the interest of the families that are caught in the middle of the fighting
00:07:18.760
We have to send more tanks, more bombs, more missiles, more guns.
00:07:22.000
Which is funny because the war on terror ended just a year ago.
00:07:26.720
And then suddenly the war in Eurasia turned on.
00:07:33.600
I wonder if somebody would ever write a book that included the line, we've always been
00:07:39.880
We must defeat Eurasia because we've always been at war with Eurasia.
00:07:43.000
I can't think of any references that that would point to.
00:07:46.840
But folks, there once was a man who went around the country and explained that we could make
00:07:53.580
deals with these powers, we may not have to like them, but we can go to diplomacy and
00:08:01.900
But the establishment hated this man and they hated the color of his skin, which was orange.
00:08:08.120
And yet there are some people who still say that this man and his ideas may return.
00:08:20.020
America could use this policy of diplomacy, of steady handed, right, power.
00:08:36.680
And for some reason, we don't seem to understand that anymore.
00:08:41.140
We don't understand that that was the true power of America.
00:08:43.860
Always maintain a credible threat, but be willing to talk with these regimes, be willing to talk
00:08:53.260
with foreign powers, meet them where they are so that we don't have to get into a third
00:09:01.220
The public is already looking for their hand-picked judges to deny relief to those hard-working
00:09:09.340
They will not succeed, in my view, but that's what they're looking for.
00:09:12.540
And finally, with a straight face, Kevin McCarthy says that the American Republic is going to
00:09:19.760
As we say in my faith, bless me, Father, for I have seen.
00:09:31.680
Niagara Republic has refused to accept the results of the 2020 election and the will of the people.
00:09:38.440
81 million people voted Democrat for President Weissner.
00:09:43.220
Even though they lost court case after court case after court case after court case after
00:09:52.740
court case, even in front of Trump-appointed judges.
00:09:58.300
And recount after recount proved the results were accurate.
00:10:02.980
It's become a litmus test in their party to pledge loyalty to Donald Trump by buying into
00:10:09.900
So Fulton County, Georgia, where an interesting situation is unfolding, because if you look
00:10:17.320
at the national level, there's this question of whether or not President Trump is going
00:10:23.640
to be indicted prior to the 2024 election, where, of course, he's already a named candidate
00:10:31.780
But there was this big deal over the summer because of the rate of Mar-a-Lago, and we were
00:10:37.100
told again and again, classified documents, classified documents.
00:10:44.680
And then suddenly they come out and it turns out that President Biden also mishandled classified
00:10:51.860
He's got classified documents coming out of who knows where President Biden does.
00:10:57.860
And who knows whether Hunter Biden had access to them and who knows whether Hunter Biden
00:11:03.320
We can find out now why Hunter Biden was making all that money for Burisma.
00:11:17.020
The litmus has now changed because there's no more onus on Garland to indict President
00:11:21.620
Trump because the deep state has come out and played this game of saying, well, Biden also
00:11:29.820
And then, of course, Mike Pence, the dork, comes out yesterday and saying, well, I had
00:11:35.080
And now he had to go back into his punishment closet because of that.
00:11:40.840
And when he gets out of the punishment closet, he'll be able to he'll be able to explain to
00:11:44.120
us in full, but down in Fulton County, Georgia, down in Fulton County, Georgia, there's a was
00:11:51.020
a Tuesday afternoon hearing and Fulton County D.A., another one of these woke prosecutors
00:11:56.280
said that she might seek indictments on multiple people in connection with the special purpose
00:12:01.500
grand jury's investigation into, quote, possible criminal interference in Georgia's 2020 election.
00:12:09.480
Well, according to an analyst and lawyer down in Georgia, Philip Halloway, he states that
00:12:18.720
his sources are telling him that this D.A., of course, he's going to use the grand jury
00:12:24.200
as a front, is planning to indict former President Trump and possibly others in Trump world, in
00:12:32.500
He wrote, we have to be mindful of protecting future defendants rights.
00:12:39.560
Philip Halloway notes, note the plural defendants under Georgia criminal procedure.
00:12:44.620
He continues, defendants do not get to take depositions as part of pretrial discovery.
00:12:50.360
They generally do get a copy of the prosecutor's entire case file and have access to physical
00:12:57.160
But there's not wide open discovery like in criminal cases.
00:13:01.000
That means, and I reached out to Halloway and he responded to me, the D.A. can sit on
00:13:06.560
this until 10 days prior to trial if they want to.
00:13:15.120
They've stated that this all goes back an eight month long investigation, apparently, into
00:13:21.740
criminal meddling with Georgia's 2020 election by former President Trump and has subpoenaed
00:13:26.960
people like Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to former President
00:13:31.060
Trump attorney, even Rudy Giuliani and Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
00:13:36.040
They will then have to decide whether or not to indict based on this is based on the phone
00:13:41.100
calls that supposedly were being made after the election conversations that were being had.
00:13:45.200
So basically, they're going to try to indict, if Holloway is correct, they might be trying
00:13:51.560
to indict over a phone call, over a phone call that was made.
00:13:56.160
So buckle up, folks, because even if at the national level, we may not see indictment of President
00:14:05.980
Trump, they're seeking potentially to indict President Trump in the state of Georgia in
00:14:12.100
a criminal trial, as if that's somehow going to get people to turn on him.
00:14:18.760
Do people not understand how we got in this situation in the first place?
00:14:25.360
There are and there is a massive group of people in this country that doesn't trust the process
00:14:46.880
He said, you know how I know the game is rigged.
00:14:59.660
Well, it looks like the corruption is coming back because do you really mean to tell me?
00:15:07.940
Do you really mean to tell me that some prosecutor in some county of Georgia is going to shut down
00:15:15.400
this entire thing when people looked at this over and over and realized that these politicized
00:15:28.580
President Trump at this point is probably the most investigated person in modern American
00:15:36.500
There's a whole cottage industry of like wine moms and cat ladies who sit at home watching
00:15:43.160
Joy Reid, watching Rachel Maddow, watching Dick Tapper, all those women's shows.
00:15:56.360
Oh, it's going to be Mueller, but, but, but, but, but, but, but they podcast about it and
00:15:59.820
It's this whole ecosystem that exists for the sole purpose.
00:16:04.820
And of course the left feeds into it with these cases, but there's other people, conservatives
00:16:11.360
and independents, by the way, who are sick of it.
00:16:14.400
And they say, can't we just move on because our country is facing real problems.
00:16:20.060
Again, we're looking potentially at world war three with a nuclear power.
00:16:24.900
Remember, we fought two world wars already without nuclear weapons.
00:16:33.660
And yet Meersheimer has come out and pointed out that we're escalating with China while we're
00:16:40.580
And meanwhile, you guys are running around chasing your wine coolers, thinking that this is the
00:16:50.480
stuff that we, we should be spending our time on.
00:16:55.900
Nobody's going to care what phone calls were being made in 2020 when there are nuclear missiles
00:17:06.500
So what is this link between influenza, infection and stroke?
00:17:13.920
Yeah, I didn't know about this either until last year, but it turns out that after flu season,
00:17:19.880
about three or four weeks later, there is a stroke season.
00:17:24.040
And like you said, most of Canada is getting down off of a, of a big hump of flu.
00:17:32.420
And a friend of one of my colleagues actually mentioned that at work the other day said,
00:17:36.360
have you noticed how many strokes we're seeing?
00:17:40.400
So anecdotally, we're starting to see that stroke season.
00:17:44.160
Are we in stroke season because of cold weather?
00:17:47.000
Are we in stroke season because people are eating too many eggs?
00:17:50.560
Sorry to all the slunkers out there who are eating raw eggs.
00:17:56.300
Thank you again for your copy of the eggs Benedict option.
00:18:03.300
However, there is a new story from Real Clear Science by the great Ross Pomeroy.
00:18:13.380
The average age for the devastating condition in which blood supply to part of the brain is blocked
00:18:17.060
or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts is usually between 71 years age in men and 76 in women.
00:18:23.700
Millennials, however, are starting to bring those averages down.
00:18:27.060
Now, ranging in age from 27 to 42, millennials are suffering strokes at a higher rate than their forebears ever did,
00:18:37.040
Between 2003 and 2012, there was a 32% spike in strokes among 18 to 34-year-old women and a 15% increase for men.
00:18:47.580
So, over double the percentage increase in women compared to men in millennials.
00:18:55.200
So, not only is there an increase, but there's an extreme increase in female millennials stroking out, apparently.
00:19:03.100
When Scientific American further parsed the data, they found that the hike was mostly centered in the West and Midwest,
00:19:10.340
where stroke rates among young people rose, listen to this, 70% and 34%, respectively,
00:19:17.660
with particularly sharp increases in urban areas.
00:19:21.320
Now, for the first time ever in American history,
00:19:24.560
about 1 in 10 people who has a stroke in the United States is under the age of 45.
00:19:30.800
This should be the top news in the whole entire country, right?
00:19:43.380
There are many potential explanations for this.
00:19:45.580
Stress, failing activity levels, fewer doctor visits could all play a role.
00:19:50.100
Cigarette use in the United States declined from the 1950s to just about 12% in 2020.
00:19:55.660
And Americans collectively reaped the benefits of less smoke.
00:19:59.400
At the same time, since the 1970s, the public health benefits from reduced smoking were eroded by rising obesity and its related health complications.
00:20:11.220
So, childhood obesity is particularly noxious in regards to early stroke.
00:20:15.780
And millennials were the first generation to be truly affected by this alarming trend.
00:20:20.100
The rate of childhood obesity has more than tripled from 5% in 1978 to 18.5% in 2016,
00:20:29.540
leaving many more children burdened by additional conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, which can lead to strokes.
00:20:45.660
One thing that my wife, Tanya Tape, always talks about, and remember, she's not from this country, okay?
00:20:50.520
I know I mention that every time, but for here we have a point, is that she always says,
00:20:57.160
and something that even for the kids when, you know, when we're purchasing food, she says,
00:21:01.160
if there are too many ingredients on the box, I don't want it.
00:21:07.440
So, when you look at some of those stuff out there that says organic, whole food, plant-based,
00:21:15.080
Okay, yeah, there might be some plants in there, but what else do you got in there?
00:21:18.720
And if there's too many chemicals, you should get it out of your house.
00:21:22.900
We're seeing this in survey after survey, not to mention from Grit Daily.
00:21:28.480
Survey finds most millennials take at least one prescription medication every day,
00:21:36.500
And, of course, we've all talked about millennial women on SSRIs.
00:21:41.280
61% of millennials in the U.S. say that their mental health has suffered since 2020.
00:21:47.680
In all, 68% of millennials take at least one prescription medication daily,
00:21:53.680
and one in five take multiple prescriptions every day.
00:21:59.060
Now, I'm at the older age range of millennials, but I got to tell you, I ain't part of the 68%,
00:22:07.420
Count me as part of the 32% in terms of that, because no, I do not take a prescription medication
00:22:14.800
I take vitamins, I take supplements, I do fish oil, I do hydrolyzed collagen every day.
00:22:24.040
There's some more that I've been looking at, multivitamins.
00:22:26.240
Tiny tries to get me to the multivitamins more often, but no.
00:22:28.960
The other one, people who are glued to their screens may have an increased risk of stroke.
00:22:35.660
Philadelphia Voice printed this out, and it says that too much leisure time and screen
00:22:41.380
time may increase the risk of stroke among adults under age 60, according to a study published
00:22:48.140
The researchers found that eight hours or more of daily sedentary leisure time quadrupled the
00:22:54.040
So, it's not necessarily the screen time itself that's causing this, but what is causing it
00:23:00.240
is the combination of sitting in front of a computer screen at work, then driving home,
00:23:05.900
still sitting, then sitting in front of a computer screen or a TV screen at home.
00:23:10.180
It's the sitting, but constant sedentary lifestyle.
00:23:18.940
Walking desks are even a thing if you want to do that.
00:23:21.220
Or if you want the real American dream, as more and more people are doing, find out a
00:23:26.420
Find out a way to work from anywhere in the world if you can, if you can get a job like
00:23:38.840
Find a way that you are not locked into a cubicle for eight hours a day.
00:23:43.280
There's so many ways to do this now with our, with modern technology, with the internet,
00:23:54.120
We've done this show from three separate continents already.
00:23:58.520
We will been around for about a year and a half.
00:24:01.600
I think we're up to something like a dozen countries.
00:24:08.680
Think outside the box and make sure that you are adding daily health regimen to your schedule.
00:24:17.160
Because as we become more, shall we say, meta in our, in our thinking, everything's meta
00:24:23.800
You have to understand that if you just have the TV on every day in the background and you're
00:24:30.860
sitting there staring at it, instead of actually going out, doing something, getting active,
00:24:35.900
you are losing your health benefits and you only get one health.
00:24:45.140
God wants you to take care of it, but you only get one chance at it because the minute
00:24:51.660
By the way, podcasts are a great way to go through and listen to while you're working out.
00:24:58.480
So I highly recommend if you have not done so yet, subscribe to this podcast, get the
00:25:03.020
notification, hit the bell or whatever the plus sign is, whichever podcast app you use,
00:25:07.180
and you will be able to listen to this every single day at the gym.
00:25:10.760
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
