00:00:21.000People sense that real change is about to happen, that the institutions are crumbling, that the media is falling apart, that their funding models don't work, that their advertising is collapsing, that they don't know how to cope with this degree of dissent, and it's all because of you and the great power within you.
00:01:07.000That great scar on the American psyche.
00:01:10.000We cannot talk about this on YouTube, but there's a new revelation, and if this is true, and the reporting suggests it is, this is groundbreaking.
00:01:41.000It's interesting that conspiracy theorists often talk about ideas that are not amenable to the interests of powerful elites that Joe Biden governs for.
00:01:50.000When Joe Biden told those donors Nothing will fundamentally change.
00:02:29.000yeah there's a the biden family the biden family there's every single member of the biden family seems to have some sort of relationship with ukrainian uh gas firm barisma barisma best in the business Oh, you want gas?
00:02:54.000We're talking to Dr. Shanna Swan, whose name, when written down, looks a bit like Shania Twain, but you're going to get a very different interview.
00:03:34.000Shanna Swan, a world-renowned reproductive health professor who believes the modern world is threatening sperm counts and imperiling the future of the human race.
00:03:42.000Sometimes, do you think that the human race is worth saving?
00:03:44.000Do you ever get into a state of despair and think, it's humanity itself?
00:04:00.000Christ may not have had to deal with phthalates, which are the sort of, it's a toxin in food that's getting down into what I call the sperm duct and messing with your testy juices.
00:04:09.000We're still on YouTube and I'll tell you what, if YouTube regulators, and you know that the WHO set their policy around healthcare for example, If the YouTube regulators have any idea of what we're about to say, you know, like when they put a warning at the top of all our videos, or like, you know, if you look at Joe Rogan's podcasts on Spotify down the menu, COVID advice, COVID advice, COVID advice, like, you know, like also 9-11, it's one of those subjects, isn't it?
00:04:34.000And I, out of respect for the victims of 9-11, I would never convey irresponsible Theories about what went on that day.
00:04:45.000But these revelations seems to me that they're demonstrably true.
00:05:53.000You know where Joe Biden's announced that he's gonna be running again?
00:05:57.000Through a beautiful piece of propaganda that we have analyzed, scrutinized, and debunked, essentially, because we've offered a rebuttal for many of his points about freedom.
00:06:21.000Freedom, you will let us down though, Joe Biden, because you will make all sorts of claims, whether it's sick days for workers.
00:06:28.000Well, once you've said nothing's going to fundamentally change, what you've essentially said is, I am going to manage this nation for the elites, right?
00:06:38.000One person who's been making his own... I mean, is Donald Trump some sort of YouTube maestro?
00:06:45.000His latest video, his response to Biden's news that he's running, it's like a YouTube video.
00:06:53.000There's cutaways that are the same as when we do, say if we do an advert for golden things.
00:07:07.000I would say this is Donald Trump on Stay Free.
00:07:10.000And if you're watching Donald Trump, because we know Don Trump Jr.
00:07:12.000is on Rumble, and we've been trying to organize an interview with Donald Trump for a little while, I bet you'd love to see that, would you?
00:07:18.000Would you love to see Donald Trump on Stay Free?
00:07:19.000We'd take the trip to Mar-a-Lago for that.
00:10:24.000This is a real deal, what we're doing now.
00:10:26.000Now, we have to have a macro perspective of what's going on, as well as scrutinising and analysing the minutiae of American political life, as well as trying to vivify debate with good humour and good grace.
00:10:38.000We have to understand the science of the macro narratives.
00:10:41.000We have to understand if we are a species in decline.
00:10:44.000We have to understand the molecular and the cosmic simultaneously.
00:10:49.000I'm joined now by Dr Shanna Swan, Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health under the world's leading environmental and reproductive Epidemiologist, author of, and we're going to post a link to this, Countdown!
00:11:01.000How our modern world is threatening sperm counts, altering male and female reproductive development, and imperiling the future of the human race.
00:11:09.000Could there be a more important ontological subject than the future of our species itself?
00:11:15.000Dr. Shanna, thank you for joining us for this conversation, and I apologize in advance for some of the things that have happened in the last hour.
00:11:29.000Hi Russell, it's wonderful to listen to you.
00:11:32.000I've enjoyed the last hour, actually, and I'm happy to be here and talk to you.
00:11:37.000What the hell's... Don't take this the wrong way, Doctor.
00:11:40.000What the hell's going on with the sperms?
00:11:44.000Well, I don't know about your sperms in particular, but sperms in general, actually all over the world, are not doing very well.
00:11:54.000The count is down about 50% or more and it's getting worse.
00:12:02.00050% in what time frame and to what do you attribute this radical, sudden and worrying decline?
00:12:11.000So we don't really know where it started.
00:12:14.000But in our studies, we've been looking at this for 50-57 years, other people have looked farther back.
00:12:23.000But it is Going on for a long time, and I would say very dramatically since post-World War II, with the rise of the love of science, the love of modern technology, which I believe is playing a role.
00:12:53.000But I like to kind of dismiss the things that I'm not going to focus on, right?
00:12:58.000So it's not going to be genetics, it's not going to be evolution, because it's too fast.
00:13:03.000That's two generations, it's not going to happen that much.
00:13:06.000Okay, and then there are very important things about how we live How we live.
00:13:12.000So our smoking, our alcohol use, our marijuana use, our stress, our obesity, and so on and so forth.
00:13:20.000These are all really important things.
00:13:22.000They're, I call them lifestyle factors, and they're going to, you know, they do play a role for sure.
00:13:29.000But there's a whole other category of things, which are chemicals in our environment.
00:13:36.000And that's where I focus my attention, although I have published on these other lifestyle factors as well.
00:13:42.000The lifestyle factors, I suppose, ultimately come down to individual freedom of choice.
00:13:49.000But if there is an epidemic toxicity within our food sources, for example, phthalates in fast foods, then that seems to me to be an immersive and corporatized, if not deliberate, then It's still a detrimental and incredibly destructive and avoidable problem that literally threatens the future of our species.
00:14:14.000The more conspiratorially inclined members of our viewership might think that this is part of a process of diminishing our potency.
00:14:24.000But approaching this from a data-oriented conversation, what do you think is the problem with our food and toxicity within our food?
00:14:35.000So, food is definitely a major source of the chemicals I worry about.
00:14:41.000One of the things that's really serious in our food is plastics.
00:14:48.000Believe it or not, plastics, chemicals in plastics, and now we're hearing more and more about micro and nanoplastics, which can be measured in food.
00:15:16.000So you can blow that up and talk about that in all kinds of food.
00:15:21.000And then you can talk about phthalates that come in when you wrap the food, when you ship the food, when you store the food, when you cook the food.
00:15:48.000It's not just sperm, which is a problem enough in itself, I would contest, but also testosterone is being diminished.
00:15:56.000Now, without wishing to overtly signal to a portion of our beloved viewership, Does the ideological attack on masculinity extend to a kind of chemical warfare against sperm and testosterone if we're seeing decline of this degree in such a short time frame?
00:16:17.000Does it amount to a kind of chemical castration of the portion of the A population most likely to become radicalized and rebel against institutional corruption.
00:16:27.000Now this is wild conjecture, and of course beyond the remit of your study.
00:16:30.000But it's curious, isn't it, to ponder, Doctor, that we are being denied the biochemical impetus for the kind of priapism that could lead to revolutionary change.
00:16:44.000That we're becoming neutered at the same time as the culture appears to be diminishing the Disobedient traits that likely might lead to meaningful change.
00:16:56.000What do you reckon to all of that then?
00:17:03.000We have less evidence on that, but we have quite a bit and we see not only measured in studies, you know, showing testosterone declining, but also reports and data from physician's offices where more and more younger men are coming in for testosterone replacement therapy.
00:17:22.000More and more men are being seen for erectile dysfunction.
00:17:27.000These are, Of course, related to testosterone.
00:17:31.000And let me tell you, it's not just the men.
00:18:17.000I don't know how much you want to talk about them, but the book is... Countdown emphasizes sperm, and I've been emphasizing sperm, and I've been studying sperm primarily, but I've also studied the female side.
00:18:29.000So it's not just a male problem, and it's not just a human problem, by the way.
00:19:28.000And to make it worse, the damage has already been done when we're adults.
00:19:36.000Okay, so the worst hit is the fetus in the womb, because there's the rapid, very rapid cell division that's going on, that's extremely sensitive and will govern how that organism develops.
00:19:53.000So if you mess that up, you cause damage, which is not fixable.
00:20:12.000I just had a question about the kind of, I guess, the political environment around all of these things, because I guess one of the big issues is when you're talking about the...
00:20:27.000One of the big issues around this is that, for example, with the FDA, I mean, these are an organization that's meant to regulate these things.
00:20:36.000And when you have a big food industry that gives so much money to the government to kind of keep these, I'm guessing, profitable endeavors when it comes to plastics in food packaging going, Is that a massive issue that we're going to have moving forward?
00:20:50.000The kind of developments we need to make and the changes in packaging and things and the way that we're going to change this in the future won't be able to occur because of the huge amount of lobbying that goes on within the government.
00:21:01.000Of course, people like, for example, people who work for the FDA are obviously extremely compromised by the kind of money that they receive.
00:21:23.000If you walk around your kitchen, if you walk around your house, and just take a little inventory of what's made of plastic, or what has what we call barrier chemicals, these PFOAs in them, it's everywhere.
00:21:35.000And we're not We don't know where they are.
00:21:38.000We, individuals, consumers, should not have to figure this out.
00:23:14.000If you put on a face cream or something, you know, aftershave, that gets absorbed into your skin.
00:23:20.000And one of the things that helps that get absorbed is phthalates.
00:23:23.000Phthalates not only make plastic soft and flexible, they also increase absorption.
00:23:28.000When you put something with a nice scent, That's going to contain phthalates because phthalates hold, help a product hold its scent.
00:23:37.000And if your partner puts on lipstick or nail polish, that's going to contain plastic phthalates because phthalates add, you know, make the thing hold the scent and the color.
00:23:50.000So those are just, you know, wherever we look in every phase of our life, we're getting this stuff in and we haven't agreed to this.
00:24:11.000Somebody might, like me, does a study.
00:24:13.000We say, ah, there's an association between an exposure and this bad outcome, and then eventually it goes maybe to the regulatory branch, and then they consider whether they should change the regulations, and then they have to retool the industry and make a new product.
00:24:31.000You can see that this takes a very, very, very long time, right?
00:24:35.000And so meanwhile we're all exposed and our sperm count is going down and our fertility is going down.
00:24:41.000Oh man, this isn't good news that you've given us there, because a lot of that stuff's unavoidable.
00:24:46.000We're gonna have to just use glass, we're gonna have to get into organic farming.
00:24:52.000How many times do we have to be reminded that we ought remain within the remit of our anthropology?
00:24:57.000That, in a sense, the miracle that plasticity provided in terms of our ability to generate consumer goods has been immediately countered by a You know, medical consequences.
00:25:12.000It's something that has to be not only addressed, but plainly reversed, it would seem.
00:25:21.000It actually is possible, but it will take, based on animal experiments, take three generations.
00:25:27.000So that's good for the animal, because a rat has a two-year lifespan, so three generations, six years, right?
00:25:35.000But for humans, it's going to be A much longer time.
00:25:41.000So, meanwhile, before these things are totally cleared up, we have to limit their invasion, I call it, invasion of these chemicals into our bodies by educating ourselves and educating our friends and our neighbors, like talking on this show, which is what I'm trying to do.
00:26:02.000And, you know, Turning to, I have to say, alternative means of conception.
00:26:18.000Listen, we're watching the chat right now, Doctor.
00:26:23.000People, whilst they are not plainly enjoying being informed that there is immersive toxicity being absorbed through our skin, through numerous products, through everything that we touch, and that it's having such an evident and observable, detrimental, deleterious effect on our productivity and procreative capacity, there's a lot of love for your communication skills and for your message.
00:26:47.000Imaginary Coffee, for example, saying simply, she's brilliant.
00:26:50.000And people, Commending you for popularizing the idea that that which we absorb for our skin is being absorbed more broadly into our systems and people are sending you love and people are sick and tired of the regulations.
00:27:06.000A lot of people think Gareth's question was childish and ineffective.
00:27:10.000And they're very happy that I pressed that button that played the French horn sound.
00:27:15.000Dr Shanna Swan, thank you so much for joining us.
00:27:19.000Thank you for giving us this important information.
00:27:21.000I'm going to take that laptop right off of my lap.
00:27:30.000Thank you for the polite and appropriate way you've conveyed these difficult messages.
00:27:36.000It's clear that there's a political component to this, a consumer component to this.
00:27:40.000Ultimately, it will become about being conscious about what we're doing to our bodies and the way that we're consuming products and probably challenging the ideology that sees our roles primarily as consumers is going to be a big part of this.
00:27:58.000You can read more about Dr. Shanna's book, actually by getting it, and then read the book.
00:28:05.000Read that, get it, and read it, and then do what it says in there.
00:28:08.000It's called Countdown, How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race, or as an acronym, I've reduced it to an acronym.
00:29:05.000No, Gareth, I gave myself such joy when I... when I...
00:29:10.000Because I'd forgotten what that button did, it just says Gareth's question.
00:29:13.000When I pressed that while you were asking a really insightful, brilliant and on-message question for the type of framing that we like to offer on our show.
00:29:23.000Yeah, that's what I was trying to do, yeah.
00:29:24.000Well you did do that, and then when I heard this.
00:29:30.000And like, also with Dr Shadder Swan, who's obviously such a good sport, but plainly Like anyone doesn't understand what the hell's going on.
00:29:39.000I think it's only you that does, to be honest.
00:30:13.000You can join this community, by the way.
00:30:14.000Press that red button on your screen and join a beautiful group of international folk who are interested in progress, tolerance, acceptance and love, innovative ideas.
00:33:00.000You use language as a kind of royal road for the deep unconscious pre-linguistic mind, actually, and respiratory practices as well.
00:33:08.000Now, over time, if not mastered them, learned a great deal about them by meditating with some of the best teachers currently alive who themselves are passing on a
00:33:17.000great heritage, a forgotten knowledge that has been disavowed and forgotten and replaced with
00:33:22.000apparently phallates, ignorance, propaganda and nonsense.
00:33:26.000Well we must return to this golden age and in order to do that we must first acknowledge
00:33:31.000there's a problem, believe it's possible to change and then make a deep vow to ourselves
00:33:36.000and one another to bring about the necessary revolution.
