00:00:30.000 And now, a Blaze Media podcast.

00:00:34.380 So is it actually cool to be conservative now?

00:00:37.080 I mean, when you look around, the Wright's big tent, instead of just seeing a bunch of tweed suit-wearing cigar smokers,

00:00:43.480 you're seeing like hippies, but the good kind of hippies.

00:00:45.600 I have a problem with hippies, but not the new hippies.

00:00:47.800 They're good.

00:00:48.540 Influencers, and dare I say it, cool kids.

00:00:55.040 Is this just like, can we keep this up?

00:00:57.620 Because this is really, really good.

00:00:59.000 But it's Maha that plays a big role in that.

00:01:02.760 The Maha hippies.

00:01:05.380 They didn't change.

00:01:06.700 They just recognized the left changed.

00:01:08.780 And the right is changing as well.

00:01:10.840 And I hope it's real.

00:01:12.460 The suburban moms.

00:01:15.240 Those people will stick around if my next guest has anything to say about it.

00:01:19.040 She is here to talk about everything from IVF, big pharma, the causes of depression.

00:01:25.700 Is it even real?

00:01:27.820 The medicines that we take?

00:01:29.940 Food?

00:01:30.600 Welcome.

00:01:31.800 Influencer and host of Culture Apothecary, Alex Clark.

00:01:35.960 Before we get to Alex, let me talk to you about relief factor.

00:01:41.480 Are you living with pain?

00:01:42.640 If so, how bad is it?

00:01:44.080 How frequent is it?

00:01:45.600 It's the sort of thing that not only annoys you, but interferes with the very way you live

00:01:49.860 your life.

00:01:50.840 Do you make decisions based on whether or not it's going to flare up?

00:01:53.820 I have to tell you, we're going to be talking about big pharma with Alex here in a second.

00:01:59.040 The poison that we put into our bodies to try to feel better, first of all, it doesn't

00:02:05.480 work.

00:02:05.760 It just masks the pain.

00:02:07.040 You need something that's working with your body that is natural.

00:02:10.940 And Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight the pain by fighting

00:02:17.040 inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease.

00:02:21.180 It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain.

00:02:26.040 Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's quick start kit.

00:02:28.880 70% of them go on to order it again and again.

00:02:32.520 Try the three-week quick start.

00:02:34.340 $19.95, less than a dollar a day.

00:02:36.620 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:02:38.320 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:02:40.700 Relieffactor.com.

00:02:51.180 Welcome back, Alex.

00:02:57.180 How are you?

00:02:57.780 I'm so good.

00:02:58.480 I've only done your radio show before, so this is such a treat.

00:03:00.760 This is the first podcast?

00:03:01.760 Yes.

00:03:02.260 Really?

00:03:02.640 I thought you were on the podcast, not just the radio show.

00:03:04.960 No, I've only done your radio show.

00:03:06.320 I think I've done it twice.

00:03:07.440 Once just over the phone and once in person.

00:03:09.500 Yeah.

00:03:09.620 Well, we have a lot of space here to talk about some things in depth, and I'm so excited about

00:03:16.520 this because I think there is a, you know, I am last generation or last year boomer.

00:03:25.120 I've always considered myself X because I was born in 64.

00:03:29.060 65 is generation X.

00:03:31.820 And I always have hated the hippies from that other generation.

00:03:36.080 Anyway, there is something that is happening now that is happening in the conservative

00:03:47.640 movement, if you will, that is very much like, I used to be rah, rah, let's go in, let's

00:03:56.620 spread democracy.

00:03:58.020 I was an idiot, okay?

00:03:59.740 We're going to go in and spread democracy, and we're going to give, you can't, you can't.

00:04:05.200 It's a failed progressive idea that we've been doing for a hundred years.

00:04:10.480 And in 2003 or four, I started going, I don't think this is actually good.

00:04:16.280 I don't know if this is going to work out.

00:04:18.180 It was wildly unpopular to say that then.

00:04:21.740 Now I look at conservatives because I changed off of that train 15 years ago.

00:04:28.620 Now I look at that and I see people who are still big war, let's go into Ukraine and give

00:04:35.400 them all the money and let's have our troops everywhere.

00:04:37.440 And I think you are crazy.

00:04:39.560 Have you not learned your lesson?

00:04:42.600 Huge change.

00:04:44.660 I think Maha, I think the health thing is.

00:04:50.240 Exactly that kind of a change coming to conservatives, I don't know how long it's going to take, but

00:04:59.720 I know, I mean, I grew up with, you know, TV dinners, pot pies, you know, I'm the generation

00:05:07.160 that just had all big food.

00:05:09.160 Crisco.

00:05:09.860 Yeah, all of it, okay?

00:05:11.160 And now I look at big farm, big pharma, the meat processing plants, all of the stuff that

00:05:23.860 we're ingesting into our bodies, all of the disease that we now strangely have.

00:05:28.940 I could have gotten onto a plane after class covered only in peanut butter and nobody would

00:05:34.280 have had a problem when I was 20.

00:05:36.280 You know what I mean?

00:05:37.100 All of a sudden, everybody has allergies.

00:05:39.460 Everybody has somebody that they know who is autistic.

00:05:42.920 Something's wrong.

00:05:44.420 Oh, so deeply wrong.

00:05:45.580 And I love that you said that we kind of shifted in the conservative movement from this establishment

00:05:50.700 conservatism right to the populism.

00:05:53.240 Right.

00:05:53.460 And then now we're seeing this.

00:05:54.900 I like the way he said, Trump is saying it, common sense.

00:05:58.020 Yeah, exactly.

00:05:58.740 I don't care if it's popular.

00:06:00.040 It's just right.

00:06:01.420 Totally.

00:06:01.920 It's exactly common sense.

00:06:03.060 And I mean, that's the thing too, with the health standards in America, it's getting back

00:06:06.560 to common sense or what Trump is saying, gold star science.

00:06:10.180 Yes.

00:06:10.460 We totally have went away from true science, which is interesting because the left likes

00:06:14.500 to wheel that over us.

00:06:15.320 Like, you know, we don't care about the science.

00:06:17.400 Yeah.

00:06:17.840 But actually, we do.

00:06:19.440 I mean, everything about them speaks otherwise.

00:06:22.100 But I think it's your generation that is, I've heard you say, you know, we are the most health

00:06:30.400 conscious generation and the most sick generation.

00:06:35.880 So I think it's really, it's being led by your generation, is it not?

00:06:40.240 I think it is starting to be.

00:06:42.320 And that's super exciting.

00:06:43.780 When I first started talking about this in the conservative movement, it was pulling teeth.

00:06:47.880 It was pulling teeth even at turning point.

00:06:49.620 It was being like, I want to focus all of my content on health and wellness.

00:06:52.940 And at first, it was just this kind of unease of like, what does this have to do with conservative

00:06:57.420 politics?

00:06:58.440 You know, especially last year, it was like we're in an election year.

00:07:00.760 That's when I rebranded my show to Culture Apothecary and specifically focus on health and

00:07:05.960 wellness.

00:07:06.380 And it just kind of felt like this is random and weird.

00:07:09.000 And I don't understand the purpose, especially when we have an election on the line.

00:07:12.260 And I was saying, I need you to listen to me.

00:07:15.800 I am boots on the ground every day with undecided female voters and even, you know, previous

00:07:23.080 Trump voters, female Trump voters, and that are maybe like not totally sold on Trump this

00:07:27.700 time around.

00:07:28.520 When I talk about the health and wellness issue, when I talk about RFK, when I talk about

00:07:32.740 seed oils, when I talk about chronic disease amongst our children, the numbers go crazy

00:07:37.400 and they start getting excited about Trump.

00:07:39.660 If we focus on this with women, we will win the election.

00:07:42.800 So I don't want to, I, I, politics important, but I don't want to make this about politics

00:07:50.340 because I think just like, um, I've been, you know, ringing the bell on the corruption

00:07:58.600 in our system, the system that keeps the system going for so long.

00:08:03.880 Oh, well, it's nonpartisan.

00:08:04.300 Right.

00:08:05.200 But it, it is, it is so important that we don't allow it to become about partisan politics

00:08:14.340 because once that happens, it's going to be discredited by one side or the other.

00:08:20.640 And it's, it's then we're really pulling teeth.

00:08:22.660 But Glenn, whose fault would that be though?

00:08:23.980 So here's my question.

00:08:25.780 Health becoming a political issue.

00:08:28.960 I blame that on the left.

00:08:31.360 This should be nonpartisan.

00:08:33.220 During the pandemic, when they mandated us all get a certain medical product injected

00:08:37.700 into our bodies and said, you will lose your job unless you do it.

00:08:40.440 That was making things political.

00:08:42.380 They didn't have to do that.

00:08:44.360 Everything to the left is political though.

00:08:46.700 Exactly.

00:08:47.560 Yes.

00:08:47.940 And so I think what's cool and it is totally nonpartisan.

00:08:50.720 I mean, that's why you have this partnership with RFK Jr.

00:08:53.340 and Trump joining together to be like, Hey, this make America healthy again stuff.

00:08:56.900 This is for everybody.

00:08:57.720 And that's why we gained eight points with female voters for Trump.

00:09:01.440 It was interesting to me that the left was focusing on, you know, abortion, talking about

00:09:06.160 abortion rights and being pro-choice.

00:09:08.440 This is what's going to win us the election with women.

00:09:10.400 And actually it turns out that women care a lot more about, you know, their sick, unhealthy

00:09:15.680 kids and voting to put healthy food on the table as opposed to killing them.

00:09:19.880 So I think that that was, it was a, it was a way more important.

00:09:24.240 And it was exciting to me because Maha and this Maha movement, this isn't a four-year

00:09:31.100 program for the Trump administration.

00:09:33.900 Maha will transcend MAGA.

00:09:36.780 This is, it is a nonpartisan political movement to fix our food, to fix our health.

00:09:42.120 And it's going to keep going after Trump is done with this term.

00:09:45.420 So can this, I mean, I'm watching the deep state being dismantled in a way that I never

00:09:52.260 thought could have.

00:09:53.260 I've been saying for years, the only hope is that you, have you tried unplugging it and

00:09:57.960 plugging it back in?

00:09:59.020 You know what I mean?

00:09:59.760 You have to reset it to factory settings.

00:10:01.700 You have to reset it to constitutional settings, which means firing almost everybody and then

00:10:07.780 reconsidering everything.

00:10:09.240 Well, that's kind of where we're headed at this point.

00:10:12.980 So I'm, I'm, I've never seen anything like this before in my lifetime.

00:10:16.720 This is groundbreaking.

00:10:19.640 Oh, it's so exciting.

00:10:20.120 It's so exciting.

00:10:22.140 Um, and that has all kinds of money behind it, defense, you know, that are fighting it,

00:10:27.780 defense, even tech, all of this stuff.

00:10:30.680 You've got big pharma, big food, big farm.

00:10:37.180 Um, you have, you have power and money that just does not want you to be heard.

00:10:47.940 Yeah.

00:10:48.340 And you can see how scared they are based on the news headlines.

00:10:52.080 And I mean, this is with everything, but what are we seeing now currently?

00:10:56.100 Oh, well, everybody's talking about these couple measles outbreaks, right?

00:10:59.700 Everybody's like bringing up measles.

00:11:00.960 Every headline is measles.

00:11:01.980 Every single press conference, they're asking RFK, are you scared about the measles?

00:11:04.820 They're trying to do this gotcha thing, asking Trump that, and we've had a couple measles

00:11:09.860 outbreaks every single year forever.

00:11:13.220 Um, now it's been, we used to have chicken pox parties.

00:11:16.260 Oh yeah.

00:11:16.940 Well, and now you're seeing like a lot of these unvaccinating families.

00:11:20.380 Now they're, they're starting to bring those back.

00:11:22.600 Um, and you know, measles was already on the downtrend by the time that vaccine came out.

00:11:27.680 Um, and we always have a couple of people that get it.

00:11:30.720 And I mean, so it's interesting to me though, that you're seeing the media focus on measles

00:11:35.880 and create this absolute fear with parents on this, on this, uh, uh, disease.

00:11:43.040 But that was like before the vaccine came out, I mean, a couple hundred people were hospitalized

00:11:48.360 a year for measles.

00:11:49.680 We have hundreds of millions of people dying of chronic disease in this country, but no,

00:11:56.200 but the headlines aren't talking about that.

00:11:57.780 I mean, I just, I made a note before you walked into the studio, it used to be, well,

00:12:02.960 we got a problem because look at how fat, but that's because we're sitting around.

00:12:06.560 Our kids aren't playing outside, blah, blah, blah.

00:12:08.540 No, it's not.

00:12:09.800 It's also the food we're feeding ourselves.

00:12:12.540 Autism, allergies, cancer rates, fertility rates are, are, are going down by one to two percentage

00:12:22.820 points every year.

00:12:25.440 That's the end of all humankind.

00:12:28.680 If we don't figure that one out, if you just look at all of the things, suicide, depression,

00:12:36.420 now suicide and depression.

00:12:37.640 I want to talk to you about it as we go, but there are reasons for those, but we treat,

00:12:44.740 I mean, in Los Angeles, I heard yesterday, they're giving dogs Prozac.

00:12:48.900 Oh my gosh.

00:12:49.960 Okay.

00:12:50.380 What the hell is wrong with you?

00:12:53.440 Okay.

00:12:56.000 The, the disease and the, the evidence that something's wildly wrong is too hard to, to

00:13:05.860 miss.

00:13:06.200 You could talk to me about the measles all day long, but I'd be like, yeah, but have you

00:13:11.280 seen the rest of this?

00:13:12.740 The rest of this.

00:13:13.420 And so this is what's really juicy.

00:13:14.980 I do a lot of speaking on college campuses and, and, you know, I'll get the college kids.

00:13:19.460 So they're Gen Z.

00:13:20.680 And then I will have like people that are fans of my show that are more millennial age

00:13:24.000 come.

00:13:24.400 So there's a mix of kind of millennial and Gen Z in the audience.

00:13:27.180 And one of my favorite exercises lately is to say, okay, raise your hand, Gen Z, if you

00:13:33.140 know somebody who is, you know, morbidly obese, that if someone in your class is morbidly

00:13:38.020 obese and you, it's like four more people, four more people, every hand will go up.

00:13:42.000 Uh, raise your hand if you know somebody who has a life altering, you know, food allergy

00:13:46.940 like peanuts or something, where if they're even around it, they could die.

00:13:49.660 Every hand goes up.

00:13:50.920 Raise your hand.

00:13:51.540 If you know somebody with autism, uh, every hand goes up.

00:13:54.800 I'll do the same exercise with the millennials in the audience.

00:13:57.160 I'll say, you know, raise your hand if when you were in, in school, you know, there was

00:14:00.440 like three or four morbidly obese people, no hands.

00:14:03.240 How many of you grew up with people having a life threatening food allergy?

00:14:06.400 No hands, you know, one hand.

00:14:08.080 It was, it's, it's unbelievable.

00:14:09.560 And so you have to say, okay, cause they want to say like, oh, it's genetics.

00:14:13.060 That's not what's happening.

00:14:15.140 Something in the environment has changed that is making all of these people.

00:14:20.060 Like, how do you go from, you know, one in 10,000 kids in the eighties has autism to one

00:14:24.080 in 36, in some cases, one in 26, we are edging closer and closer Glenn to a reality where it

00:14:31.120 will be nearly impossible for children in America to marry somebody who is not autistic, to find

00:14:37.960 a mate who does not have autism.

00:14:40.320 That is the future that we are looking at.

00:14:42.240 Now imagine what that's going to look like for just like humanity.

00:14:45.600 It's very, very scary.

00:14:47.320 And that doesn't mean that we don't love, you know, people that have autism.

00:14:49.320 I'm just saying that, but that's not ideal.

00:14:51.660 I'm sure every parent would say they wish they could have a healthy child that did not

00:14:54.640 have autism.

00:14:55.060 And so we have to ask why.

00:14:58.040 And so people get very bent out of shape when they're shilling for pharma and they're like

00:15:01.960 terrified that RFK Jr.

00:15:04.060 is saying, well, I want to test for efficacy every single vaccine that's on the childhood

00:15:07.980 schedule.

00:15:08.620 Why would you be opposed to that?

00:15:10.180 Right.

00:15:10.420 And may I ask, I would like, I would like big pharma not to be involved in it.

00:15:16.880 Yeah.

00:15:17.020 Why are they allowed to pick who's doing the testing and in charge of the trials?

00:15:21.060 And we'll pay for it.

00:15:22.000 We'll just do, are you out of your mind?

00:15:24.060 That should not be legal.

00:15:25.320 Never.

00:15:25.580 And so this is when we talk about getting back to gold star science.

00:15:28.020 These are the types of things that RFK Jr.

00:15:29.480 is saying he wants to do.

00:15:30.280 Now, why in the world would somebody be opposed to that?

00:15:32.260 He's not saying, oh, we're all of a sudden going to ban childhood vaccines.

00:15:35.480 We want parents to have informed choice in America for every medical product that goes

00:15:40.740 in your child's body.

00:15:42.640 Everyone should be able to have that freedom to decide what I do and don't want my child

00:15:46.540 or myself to have.

00:15:47.500 Are you seeing the same trends in places, smaller places that have like a Mediterranean

00:15:53.980 diet?

00:15:54.620 Are you seeing these kinds of stats coming from countries and populations that don't

00:16:01.160 eat like we eat?

00:16:03.000 Oh, no.

00:16:04.000 I mean.

00:16:04.760 So it is generally a Western and American.

00:16:07.560 It's a Western thing.

00:16:08.700 I mean, you're starting to see stuff like that, you know, a little bit in places like the UK

00:16:12.280 and things like that.

00:16:13.300 But I mean, largely, we are the biggest spenders on health care and we are also the sickest.

00:16:20.240 So something isn't adding up.

00:16:21.700 We are.

00:16:22.620 It's a racket.

00:16:24.360 Yeah.

00:16:24.620 So you're not actually curing people.

00:16:26.620 We have all this access to amazing medications and services.

00:16:29.380 And let me tell you something.

00:16:30.460 Western medicine is incredible.

00:16:32.200 When you are, you know, you have like needing an amputation or you have an infection of some

00:16:38.640 disorder or something, that's when you want Western medicine, antibiotics, all those.

00:16:41.460 I get it.

00:16:43.000 The problem is in America, we are not curing anything.

00:16:47.920 We are not.

00:16:48.920 Keeping it all at bay.

00:16:50.560 Actually helping people live longer, like happily living longer.

00:16:54.460 We're actually just helping people die longer.

00:16:57.120 And that is a really scary reality to think about.

00:17:00.560 We should not be on, you know, seven to 12 medications starting in our 50s.

00:17:05.340 That's not how it should be.

00:17:06.920 Like we should be able to run around with our grandkids and enjoy life in those last

00:17:10.220 years.

00:17:10.420 And then, you know, maybe at the very, very end, you're starting to get sick and you're

00:17:14.240 older and whatever.

00:17:14.960 But like that kind of stuff should not be happening as early as it does.

00:17:20.520 My grandfather died four years older than I am now.

00:17:26.280 Wow.

00:17:26.940 And when I was growing up, that was old.

00:17:31.080 When he was young, the Social Security Administration started and guys died an average of 62 years

00:17:43.140 old.

00:17:43.380 You were never supposed to get.

00:17:45.040 It was for your wife who was scheduled to die, you know, average at 65.

00:17:51.320 So it was those who just lived a little bit longer.

00:17:54.860 We are living longer.

00:17:57.560 And I hate to throw out, you know, there are things that we have, and I don't know what

00:18:03.800 they are yet.

00:18:04.400 I really don't.

00:18:05.080 But there are things that I think, wow, you wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for that.

00:18:10.980 There was a culling because we couldn't take care of some simple things.

00:18:16.060 But I think what's happening is we're just loading up on everything and everything that

00:18:22.800 you take, you take one medicine.

00:18:24.980 Well, that's going to cause this problem because you're out of balance with the natural body.

00:18:29.500 So here's what you have to understand.

00:18:31.440 There is no such thing as a prescription drug that doesn't have one side effect.

00:18:35.320 Correct.

00:18:36.200 Every single prescription drug that we are offered in America has a side effect.

00:18:40.420 So then you've got to look at that and decide, you know, the risk and the pros and the cons.

00:18:44.640 And if you want to decide to take that, the problem is that we prescribe somebody something

00:18:49.360 has a certain side effect.

00:18:50.700 Then we say, oh, well, guess what?

00:18:51.880 We have another drug for that side effect.

00:18:53.220 And then you're going to need another drug for that side effect.

00:18:54.840 And it's this never ending treadmill of pharmaceutical intervention that we are putting people on,

00:19:01.940 you know, as young as now children, because Lexapro, which is an antidepressant, was just approved

00:19:06.420 for kids as young as seven.

00:19:07.920 They're testing GLP-1s, you know, weight loss drugs like Ozempic on kids as young as six.

00:19:13.420 So instead of looking at the problem, what are we feeding kids?

00:19:16.780 What could be causing things like anxiety and depression?

00:19:20.280 You know, are they getting outside?

00:19:21.620 What foods are they eating?

00:19:22.580 You know, we know that there's a gut-brain connection, that what is going on in your gut

00:19:26.260 is affecting how you're feeling in your brain.

00:19:28.320 Instead of asking any of these questions, which would be so much easier to fix, we're saying

00:19:33.100 let's medicalize this child at a younger age.

00:19:35.140 Now, imagine, which we're already seeing this because of things like ADHD medication and kids

00:19:39.160 that are on that all, you know, for their entire life, and then getting into their 20s and their 30s.

00:19:43.520 But imagine these kids that are on Ozempic or Lexapro, an antidepressant, a totally mind-altering drug,

00:19:50.440 as a child throughout their adult life, that it is going to be impossible for those kids

00:19:57.360 to be able to get off those drugs.

00:19:58.880 The withdrawal is, it's already deadly.

00:20:01.140 I can't imagine your entire life being hooked on that, trying to get off.

00:20:05.040 I don't think they're going to be able to do it.

00:20:06.700 Also, I mean, I'm riddled with ADD.

00:20:09.340 Riddled with ADD.

00:20:10.900 I didn't know that until my whole staff that was working with me 20 years ago went.

00:20:15.140 I was talking about ADD.

00:20:16.580 Come on!

00:20:17.280 And people were like, are you kidding me?

00:20:20.720 You don't know?

00:20:21.580 You are riddled with it?

00:20:25.160 Okay.

00:20:26.060 I went, just for the show purposes, I went, got the diagnosis.

00:20:29.960 But that's what made me me.

00:20:31.900 Yeah.

00:20:32.240 You either, you're born a certain way, and you either learn what that means in your life

00:20:39.920 and learn to manage it in your life, and it could be any disability, anything, could be

00:20:46.160 a great gift if you go, oh, this way I am, so I got to work this way.

00:20:52.160 That's why people with ADD, traditionally, before we started treating kids for it, you either

00:20:58.700 lived under a bridge or you were very successful.

00:21:01.360 I love what you're bringing up, because this is super important.

00:21:04.520 We have now medicalized the human experience, what is supposed to be the normal human experience.

00:21:09.440 To go throughout life and experience super high highs and low lows, experiencing feelings

00:21:14.800 like grief and sadness is normal.

00:21:17.720 It's normal.

00:21:18.360 But we've been now told that it's not okay to feel any variation besides a certain just

00:21:24.980 regular level.

00:21:26.860 Like, you should never feel super high highs or low lows.

00:21:29.180 Like, we just all need to be on one note all the time.

00:21:32.080 That is a horrible way to exist.

00:21:34.100 That is not how God created us.

00:21:35.580 Like, God gave us emotions to be able to feel these incredible things and be able to feel

00:21:40.880 joy.

00:21:41.320 We are seeing, like, 24, 25-year-old men saying things like, I don't know.

00:21:45.320 I just, I feel nothing.

00:21:46.420 Like, I have no purpose.

00:21:47.380 I don't understand what I'm supposed to do.

00:21:48.680 Like, I don't know.

00:21:49.360 I just, like, kind of just go through life every day.

00:21:51.820 Like, we're zombifying an entire generation of people and then wondering why do all these

00:21:56.400 young people say, like, I don't know.

00:21:57.720 I feel purposeless.

00:21:59.100 It's because you're all medicated.

00:22:00.980 And then, you know, we wonder, like, why can't people make clear decisions at the voting

00:22:04.140 booth and things like that when you're totally, like, messed up on all these medications

00:22:08.320 and then the chemical food?

00:22:10.520 That's why.

00:22:11.180 Like, nobody, everybody is, brain fog is real.

00:22:14.180 Like, nobody can think clearly.

00:22:15.760 Everybody's seeing life through black and white when it should be full color.

00:22:19.020 And then, we're wondering why everybody is seeing such high rates of anxiety and depression

00:22:23.420 and nobody feels happy.

00:22:24.960 Like, you have to ask yourself, like, what are we doing?

00:22:27.800 I remember when they said, yes, you're real with ADD.

00:22:33.940 Try this.

00:22:36.020 And I started taking it.

00:22:37.740 I took it for, like, two days.

00:22:39.440 And I was like, oh, dear God.

00:22:41.480 No, no, no, no.

00:22:42.180 I don't like this.

00:22:43.720 Because it was flattening everything out.

00:22:45.920 And I remember saying to my wife, never, never should any child ever be given any of

00:22:55.020 this kind of medication.

00:22:56.540 Because at least when I started taking it, I was like, oh, no, that's bad.

00:23:00.200 That's changing.

00:23:01.700 I know what's good and bad about me.

00:23:04.220 And the doses of good and bad in me.

00:23:06.880 You know, I've learned how to navigate in it.

00:23:09.600 As a kid, you don't know who you are.

00:23:12.040 You don't know what's good and bad.

00:23:13.760 You don't know what's a tool, what's a learning experience.

00:23:16.240 You don't know any of it.

00:23:17.380 Well, there's a reason why.

00:23:18.360 And it flattens you out.

00:23:19.260 Hormonal birth control does the same thing to women.

00:23:21.840 And there's a reason why young women finally decide to get off birth control.

00:23:25.460 And they're like, oh, I met me.

00:23:27.860 Because it completely numbs our personalities.

00:23:30.460 It affects the type of mate that we're attracted to.

00:23:33.240 So I don't know if you know this, but a lot of research has been done.

00:23:36.060 A woman on hormonal birth control is actually more attracted to a feminine looking man than

00:23:41.840 a masculine man.

00:23:43.180 Unbelievable.

00:23:43.760 It's very fascinating.

00:23:44.920 And so what happens is a lot of women are put on this as teenagers.

00:23:48.020 We're not really given true consent about this drug.

00:23:50.040 Then we decide, you know, mid to late 20s.

00:23:51.940 Okay, we're married.

00:23:52.520 We're ready to have a family.

00:23:53.460 We're going to get off of it.

00:23:54.480 And then we wake up and we're like, oh my gosh, who am I married to?

00:23:57.900 I'm not attracted to my husband at all.

00:24:00.000 Because they married them or met them when they were on birth control.

00:24:03.120 And so then they have to relearn being attracted to their spouse, which is terrifying and a horrible

00:24:08.640 experience for them.

00:24:09.480 But that's something that like none of us are told in a 10 minute wellness checkup when

00:24:13.720 we're just prescribed birth control because your period as a woman, it's too complicated

00:24:17.480 to figure out.

00:24:18.060 You don't need to worry about it.

00:24:19.040 A period's overrated.

00:24:19.980 We don't need it.

00:24:21.060 Let's put you on this pill.

00:24:22.580 Women need to have a period, not to like get into a health lesson, but you know, a lot

00:24:27.520 of men don't realize this.

00:24:28.400 I always tell like young guys in college, which is very countercultural.

00:24:31.760 I say, tell your girlfriends to get off birth control.

00:24:33.560 Now that doesn't mean, you know, there's other conversations we have there, but tell your

00:24:37.060 girlfriend to get off birth control, especially if you're serious about marriage, because you

00:24:40.440 need to make sure she's actually attracted to you for you.

00:24:42.720 Um, and a lot of them are really shocked by that.

00:24:45.680 And also that when you're on birth control, you don't have a true period.

00:24:49.000 And that's kind of like a, an extra special vital sign as women to kind of be in tune

00:24:54.060 with our bodies and our personalities and kind of understand what's going on hormonally.

00:24:57.340 So we're supposed to have four fluctual.

00:24:59.960 We're supposed to have as women, four hormonal fluctuals.

00:25:03.460 I'm sorry.

00:25:03.760 Let me say this again.

00:25:04.400 We're supposed to, as women have four hormonal fluctuations throughout a month.

00:25:08.560 So we are, we do have a week where we're like a little more creative.

00:25:11.920 We have a week where we're going to be a little more irritable.

00:25:14.680 Um, we have a week where we're really going to want to have sex for a man to understand

00:25:18.880 those fluctuations and for her to be able to feel those different things because she's

00:25:22.880 not on birth control that can totally make or break your relationship.

00:25:26.640 Like if a guy understands that that is the secret hack to understanding women, but nobody

00:25:30.880 is teaching men how to understand a woman's cycle.

00:25:33.440 Like they should be learning those lessons just as young women should so that you can have a

00:25:38.080 more successful relationship because that's a huge, important thing.

00:25:40.820 There's a reason why men can have a fight with a woman and then wake up and be like,

00:25:45.340 okay, I'm over it.

00:25:45.960 Let's move on.

00:25:46.620 And a woman can't.

00:25:47.640 It's because it takes us 28 days for hormones to restart and it takes a man and takes a man

00:25:52.500 24 hours.

00:25:53.760 So that's a total difference that guys aren't taught.

00:25:56.260 So I always tell young guys when I'm talking to them about these like health issues and things

00:26:00.280 like you need to understand a woman's hormones and her menstrual cycle.

00:26:04.000 And that is really the secret to understanding women.

00:26:06.660 And wow, that's worth the price of admission just there.

00:26:11.040 Wow.

00:26:11.660 That's incredible.

00:26:13.560 So where did this start?

00:26:15.880 I mean, when my father was young, wheat was this high in the fields.

00:26:24.040 Now wheat is about that high because we improved it so we could have all of that energy instead

00:26:32.560 of going into the stock, into the wheat and we could feed the world.

00:26:38.420 When did this start?

00:26:39.560 Did it start with big food?

00:26:41.740 Did it start with us messing around with the food?

00:26:46.180 When did that go bad?

00:26:47.740 Because I think early on America fed the world.

00:26:53.980 We fed the world.

00:26:54.960 People were starving like crazy in the world.

00:26:59.620 And we changed the world, but we did it by altering nature.

00:27:05.640 Correct.

00:27:06.480 So is that the beginning of this, do you think?

00:27:10.140 It is to a certain extent.

00:27:11.640 If you want to get really specific, this really, I think, can be taken back to John D.

00:27:17.020 Rockefeller.

00:27:18.340 I love you.

00:27:19.460 I love you.

00:27:21.020 Which is everything.

00:27:21.980 I mean, there's so much that we can tie back to him.

00:27:25.580 But really, quite even, people don't know, he's the guy who designed modern medicine.

00:27:31.540 Exactly.

00:27:32.000 So what happened was that really led us into this path because, so he was seeing this,

00:27:37.840 he was seeing an opportunity for his oil byproducts.

00:27:40.680 Like, what can I do with these?

00:27:41.600 Whatever.

00:27:42.180 Kind of created this idea for pills, a pill for an ill.

00:27:45.380 That's how we got to this culture.

00:27:46.560 And he was like, ooh, you know, because at the time, like 50% of medicine in America,

00:27:53.260 I mean, we had a lot of, we were using herbal remedies and we had chiropractors and a lot

00:27:58.580 of natural ways to heal.

00:28:01.420 And he kind of saw that as like taking away money from him.

00:28:05.920 He wanted to create all these pills.

00:28:07.060 And so he's like, let's start putting it out there with the Flexner report.

00:28:11.120 Let's start putting it out there that these people are quacks.

00:28:13.380 They have no idea what we're doing.

00:28:14.560 We're going to create, you know, pharmaceutical drugs.

00:28:16.480 And this is going to be like the problem solver for everything.

00:28:20.080 Better living through pharmaceuticals.

00:28:21.760 Yes.

00:28:22.220 And so when he did that, you know, he had all of this extra waste.

00:28:26.920 Again, it was putting oil byproducts there.

00:28:28.660 And then he kind of saw this need of like oil byproducts and let's get rid of animal

00:28:33.100 fats and cooking with animal fats and cook with oil byproducts.

00:28:36.300 So that's how we get seed oils.

00:28:37.580 And Crisco was like the first big thing on the market that they were promoting, you know,

00:28:41.380 baby formula, all these different things.

00:28:42.940 So we start to see these changes really with the, also the industrialization of food.

00:28:48.420 So what happened was we started seeing all these people move into the city, leaving the

00:28:53.640 farm life.

00:28:54.240 We needed to bring food into the city.

00:28:56.240 Well, what were people doing?

00:28:57.140 This is how then we get milk pasteurization.

00:28:59.500 We start bringing cows into the city where they're not supposed to live.

00:29:02.180 We're housing them in huge warehouses where they're eating trash.

00:29:05.520 They're eating these terrible diets, living in these terrible conditions.

00:29:07.980 They start getting sick.

00:29:08.820 People start getting sick from the dairy.

00:29:10.240 Oh, well, guess what?

00:29:10.980 Now we're going to pasteurize milk.

00:29:12.180 That's going to zap all of the good ingredients from the milk, but it will make it safe to drink,

00:29:17.320 which is true.

00:29:17.840 People were getting sick from dairy, but it wasn't because it was raw.

00:29:21.040 It was because of how we were farming.

00:29:22.920 It was a 19th century problem.

00:29:25.880 Yes.

00:29:26.200 We don't have that problem anymore.

00:29:28.780 Correct.

00:29:29.200 You can keep the cow clean before you milk the cow.

00:29:34.240 And so that's what everybody likes to bring up, you know, because I talk about raw milk

00:29:36.700 a lot and how I'm a huge advocate for raw milk because it's a superfood and it's what

00:29:41.660 our ancestors always drank.

00:29:42.900 And so they always like to bring that up like, well, it's safer.

00:29:45.360 This is why people don't get sick anymore.

00:29:46.540 And they don't understand the history there.

00:29:48.020 But, you know, we go from the industrialization with our food to then, you know, the Vietnam

00:29:53.540 War.

00:29:54.240 Well, when the Vietnam War ends, we have all of these extra chemicals like Agent Orange

00:29:58.460 and all these things.

00:29:59.100 Well, what are we going to do with all of this?

00:30:01.060 Well, what if we use it on our crops and we're able to keep bugs off of our crops?

00:30:07.320 Well, we know when we spray it on a bug, it explodes its stomach.

00:30:10.080 But surely it'll be fine for human beings.

00:30:13.480 So we start, you know, making these different variations and that's how we get glyphosate.

00:30:18.040 And we start spraying our crops with a neurotoxin of glyphosate.

00:30:22.020 So that's happening to our food.

00:30:23.680 And then, yes, we kind of get into this like we need to feed the world.

00:30:26.760 This is America's responsibility, which I totally disagree with.

00:30:30.520 Yeah, no, but I'm not saying it was America's responsibility.

00:30:33.600 I think I think a earlier generation thought it was thought not only it was their responsibility,

00:30:39.660 it was a privilege.

00:30:40.920 Yes, we could produce what the rest of the world could not.

00:30:45.700 And I will say, I don't think that everything was malicious.

00:30:48.400 I think there was a intent here.

00:30:50.020 But no, Rockefeller.

00:30:51.500 Yeah, and certain people all along the way.

00:30:54.000 Yeah, of course, they're going to see opportunities to make money and, you know,

00:30:56.840 they're going to take advantage of it.

00:30:58.020 But the thing is, is that we, I think, wanted to do what's right.

00:31:03.340 OK, we can feed more people.

00:31:04.720 We can make cheaper food that'll make it more accessible for poor people.

00:31:08.480 Right.

00:31:08.580 And I think like with anything in culture, you get away from God's design and there are

00:31:14.680 consequences.

00:31:15.840 There are consequences to making man-made chemical food as opposed to what God made for us to

00:31:23.020 eat.

00:31:23.300 OK, that's fine.

00:31:24.660 You can do that.

00:31:25.480 Sure, more people have access to food, but it isn't food.

00:31:29.160 It's fake.

00:31:30.160 It's dead food.

00:31:31.260 It's killing you.

00:31:32.860 It's creating, you know, chronic disease and things like that.

00:31:35.280 So there's going to be consequences to that.

00:31:37.280 Sure, you have more access, but like, what are you eating?

00:31:40.140 But the problem is, I mean, because if you're starving, you'll take that dead food over no

00:31:45.840 food.

00:31:46.840 You will.

00:31:47.340 Well, of course.

00:31:47.960 Yeah.

00:31:49.480 And so the problem is not necessarily the person who's like, I'm sorry, but I want to eat.

00:31:55.500 And if you will provide this for me, I will eat.

00:31:57.620 The problem is, it's without understanding or consent.

00:32:01.680 It's we don't tell ourselves, let alone others.

00:32:05.620 Well, the government is dangerous.

00:32:07.480 The government is telling with our current SNAP and WIC programs, they're telling people

00:32:11.900 that are poor, this is the food for you to eat.

00:32:15.120 Now, this is a huge thing that RFK Jr. wants to work on with HHS, is we need to totally

00:32:20.980 revamp what is on our WIC and SNAP programs, is that we are subsidizing and incentivizing

00:32:28.900 people to eat crap food and junk food.

00:32:31.440 Why are we making it more accessible and cheaper for a poor family to drink soda than

00:32:36.480 it is, you know, milk and different things like that?

00:32:39.980 Or to get, you know, a rotisserie chicken or fruits and organic fruits and vegetables.

00:32:44.280 Why are we making that harder, but we're making it easier to get Pringles and Coca-Cola?

00:32:48.240 So why is that?

00:32:49.720 Because these industries have been corrupted.

00:32:52.480 So you will remember this because you were on Fox and different stuff when I was little.

00:32:58.160 So I remember like watching you and watching these news programs.

00:33:00.600 I know.

00:33:01.300 Sorry.

00:33:01.820 That's all right.

00:33:02.320 That's all right.

00:33:02.700 So what I remember is being younger and seeing conservative networks talk about things like

00:33:09.320 getting rid of soda on food stamps as a freedom issue.

00:33:14.340 Well, this is an infringement on freedom to take away our pop.

00:33:17.880 I'm from the Midwest.

00:33:19.980 I'm just saying that era of news anchors.

00:33:23.280 And so this was like a huge talking point.

00:33:24.940 Well, what was really going on was big food.

00:33:26.740 Coca-Cola was sending lobbyists to Capitol Hill.

00:33:29.380 They were telling the conservatives, hey, this is like a huge infringement on freedom.

00:33:34.900 You don't want to take that away.

00:33:35.780 Like people need access to these things.

00:33:37.060 Like we can't tell people they shouldn't eat, you know, sugary stuff.

00:33:39.360 And so they're like, oh, well, if you put it that way, that makes sense.

00:33:42.720 That's like a conservative value.

00:33:45.020 But it's really the opposite of that.

00:33:46.920 Like we're the whole system is rigged.

00:33:48.760 And that's the freedom issue is that we're not even given informed consent to make the

00:33:52.500 choices.

00:33:52.760 So that is.

00:33:53.300 So let's focus there for a second.

00:33:56.120 Because.

00:33:57.280 I mean, even the food pyramid is wrong.

00:33:59.700 Yeah, it's totally fake.

00:34:00.660 What we grew up with was fake.

00:34:02.180 OK, explain that.

00:34:03.260 So different industries were buying bigger sections of the food pyramid.

00:34:09.140 What does that mean?

00:34:10.700 Like big ag was, oh, if you want to shill, you know, certain wheat products or you want

00:34:15.260 to shill, you know, dairy, you know, the dairy industry.

00:34:17.660 Like they were all able to just kind of buy their portion of the food pyramid.

00:34:21.680 And then that's what was then promoted by the government to be put in our curriculum and

00:34:27.320 school.

00:34:27.640 I mean, this is what I grew up with.

00:34:28.700 So when I testified at the Senate with RFK Jr.

00:34:32.980 and Senator Ron Johnson in September of 2024, and we focused on chronic disease, I focused

00:34:37.580 my speech on millennials were made to be guinea pigs to an experiment that we never consented

00:34:45.320 to.

00:34:45.620 Every single aspect of nutrition and health that we were taught as the millennial generation

00:34:52.000 was completely fake.

00:34:54.000 It was completely bought and paid for from the food pyramid.

00:34:57.720 The vaccine schedule exploded under us.

00:34:59.880 GMOs were invented and put into the to the food system under us.

00:35:03.320 We were all the women were put on birth control at 14, 15 like clockwork with no informed consent

00:35:08.700 about what that would do to our bodies.

00:35:09.840 And then, you know, now what's happening is millennial women were the age group starting

00:35:14.260 to want to have families.

00:35:16.020 Now we're all told, oh, we have a great solution for that IVF.

00:35:18.860 So the whole thing, like we've just been created to be a commodity.

00:35:23.140 Like every aspect of millennial women is just let's manipulate you for this.

00:35:27.360 We're going to use you for this.

00:35:28.340 We're just a product to these people.

00:35:30.300 So let me get let me get to.

00:35:32.820 So how do you then stop that?

00:35:34.660 Do you know who Edward Bernays was?

00:35:36.240 No.

00:35:36.500 So you're going to love looking into Edward Bernays.

00:35:39.920 Edward Bernays is the father of propaganda.

00:35:42.920 OK, he was during the Wilson administration.

00:35:46.280 Propaganda was advertising.

00:35:48.600 They only changed it to advertising after the Nazis got good at propaganda.

00:35:54.280 And they were like, oh, yeah, we don't do propaganda.

00:35:56.260 It's advertising.

00:35:58.640 He's the guy women smoke because of him.

00:36:02.160 Um, we the reason why we have the right American breakfast is a couple of eggs, some bacon and

00:36:10.120 some orange juice and a piece of toast.

00:36:12.740 That's Edward Bernays.

00:36:14.580 He had cattle.

00:36:17.740 We're starting the cattle prices were starting to come down.

00:36:20.640 So more and more people were eating beef.

00:36:23.900 Ham was what everybody used to have because it was cheap.

00:36:27.540 As beef prices came down, the ham producer said, we're going to go out of business.

00:36:33.240 So he came up with an idea.

00:36:36.060 Ham for breakfast, bacon, ham for breakfast, couple of eggs, maybe some orange juice.

00:36:42.480 It was the average person had for breakfast every morning a piece of toast and a cup of coffee.

00:36:50.880 That's it.

00:36:51.640 OK, Edward Bernays within two years, because unbeknownst to the rest of the country, he

00:36:58.860 was trying to sell bacon.

00:37:00.640 He wrote a scientific letter and sent it out to every doctor in America that says science

00:37:09.160 now shows that the most healthy breakfast is a couple of eggs and some bacon or some ham

00:37:15.780 every morning.

00:37:16.780 Unbelievable.

00:37:17.300 OK, so this has been going on forever.

00:37:22.320 And I think here's what's juicy for me.

00:37:24.620 I understood this like manipulation when it came to every other industry as a conservative.

00:37:30.020 I understood big tech.

00:37:31.600 I understood, you know, education, corruption, Hollywood, all these different ways.

00:37:35.560 You don't think anybody would do this with medicine?

00:37:38.040 Never.

00:37:38.520 So this to me, and I think for most conservatives who are now all of a sudden you see conservatives

00:37:43.020 caring about health and wellness when we never did before.

00:37:45.080 This was really the last like true piece of institutional trust that we still held when

00:37:50.320 it came to our government.

00:37:51.720 You know, for some reason, and we were able to put the pieces together for all these other

00:37:54.560 things, but we couldn't do it with this.

00:37:56.200 And it wasn't until the pandemic.

00:37:57.840 The left is so stupid.

00:37:59.240 If they wouldn't have mandated the vaccine, conservatives would still be, oh, he home,

00:38:03.180 who cares about organic food and GMOs?

00:38:05.160 Now, all of a sudden, we really care.

00:38:06.880 And this is, you know, this is like one of the biggest talking points.

00:38:09.180 And now we're gaining ground with their voters because we're willing to now care about

00:38:13.280 this issue.

00:38:13.740 And now they're backing away and saying it's right wing extremism.

00:38:16.560 It's just bizarre.

00:38:18.520 But it wasn't just that they mandated.

00:38:23.500 That was horrible.

00:38:24.940 But they mandated in the name of science, all of these things which were not scientific.

00:38:31.280 And you can see, I'm sorry.

00:38:34.680 I know you say this is normal, but I've never seen so many teenagers drop dead of a heart

00:38:40.120 attack.

00:38:40.720 Correct.

00:38:41.080 I've never seen this.

00:38:42.640 I've been around for a while.

00:38:44.140 You can't tell me that's normal.

00:38:46.400 I mean, it was one of those George Orwell things of like, you know, don't believe what

00:38:49.040 your ears hear and your eyes see.

00:38:50.700 Yes.

00:38:51.020 And so that was very scary to a lot of people.

00:38:53.280 That was the change in RFK.

00:38:54.960 At least that's what he told me.

00:38:55.980 Oh, 100%.

00:38:56.600 And the other thing I like to bring up is because mainstream media, NBC News and all

00:39:00.480 these people, you know, they like to say all this health and wellness stuff is all fringe

00:39:04.520 conservatism.

00:39:05.260 This is right wing extremism and Christian nationalism, which give me a break.

00:39:08.520 What the hell are you even talking about?

00:39:10.080 And, you know, because of me talking about it now, all of a sudden, it's this conservative

00:39:13.560 right wing thing.

00:39:14.180 And I'm like, you guys are so dumb.

00:39:16.120 It was not conservative Christian suburban moms who weren't vaccinating their kids.

00:39:21.440 It was Hollywood.

00:39:22.480 Yes.

00:39:22.780 It was Hollywood for decades.

00:39:24.000 Yes.

00:39:24.360 You and I both started in pop radio.

00:39:25.820 It was it was, you know, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey or whatever talking about not

00:39:31.440 vaccinating children.

00:39:32.440 It wasn't Melania Trump.

00:39:35.200 Right.

00:39:35.500 Like so.

00:39:36.060 So we are the last people on board your side.

00:39:38.680 We're the ones that were trying to talk about this.

00:39:40.760 And when we finally said tail between our legs, guess what?

00:39:44.200 We were wrong.

00:39:44.940 You were right on this issue.

00:39:46.220 And then they said, oh, we don't want anything to do with you.

00:39:48.340 So who really is almost all of the issues I keep saying to people on the left?

00:39:54.740 You're right.

00:39:55.820 You were right about big war.

00:39:58.980 You're you're right about health and food and and don't trust big pharma.

00:40:04.220 I was wrong for years.

00:40:07.840 Now I'm like, oh, my gosh, how wrong have we been?

00:40:11.380 And now I don't even understand how it works.

00:40:16.120 And so that is how a lot of Democrats are feeling is, you know, what's interesting about

00:40:20.560 being a part of the Maha, the official Maha coalition and getting to do all this activism

00:40:24.120 that I've been invited to do and stuff.

00:40:25.580 The people that like I testified at the Senate with, for example, like not everybody there

00:40:29.020 was a conservative.

00:40:29.720 I would say most probably weren't or like this is the first time they were ever willing

00:40:33.380 to vote Republican in their life, like Jillian Michaels.

00:40:36.160 These were people that would never have voted Republican, but they felt completely left behind.

00:40:40.680 Like, what the heck do you guys even believe?

00:40:43.160 Like, I was told these were our core principles to care about pharma and food and health freedom.

00:40:48.160 And now all of a sudden you're turning your back on me like, so what the heck?

00:40:51.100 The whole time it was a lie, like you don't actually care about it.

00:40:53.900 The right now cares about it.

00:40:55.520 Will you do something?

00:40:56.140 I think this administration actually cares.

00:41:00.220 I know Donald Trump very well.

00:41:02.380 He cares.

00:41:04.460 He believes.

00:41:06.100 He may not believe.

00:41:07.100 He's told me this.

00:41:08.320 I don't believe everything that RFK believes, he said, but he at least is right about the

00:41:14.860 direction.

00:41:16.060 There's something wrong and we need to find out what it is.

00:41:20.840 Might be things that he says it is.

00:41:22.700 Might not be.

00:41:23.680 We don't know.

00:41:24.400 And RFK Jr. himself has said, and I'm open.

00:41:26.640 I'm willing to be wrong.

00:41:27.680 If I'm wrong and it's not what I think it is, then great.

00:41:29.480 Then we're going to focus that on what the truth is.

00:41:31.420 But nobody's been willing to get to the truth.

00:41:33.140 So is this, do you think in the conservative movement that this is real?

00:41:41.220 Or do you, I mean, I know it is with Trump.

00:41:43.320 I know it is with me.

00:41:44.880 Or is it another one of these games where the machinery of Washington is like, yes, we're

00:41:53.540 just like you, we're whoop, ma, amen.

00:41:56.260 Oh, well, you can tell who some of them are.

00:41:58.260 I mean, some of these people are like completely grifting, like did not give a crap about any

00:42:01.800 of this till now.

00:42:02.860 All of a sudden, you know, Trump is saying like, no, this is like important to me.

00:42:05.200 Oh, yeah, I totally care about this.

00:42:06.920 I mean, I'm just seeing like senators and stuff that just raise their hand like, yeah, ma.

00:42:10.020 I'm like, you've never talked about this once in your life.

00:42:11.920 Yeah, but there is, we can't be, you could have said that about me.

00:42:16.600 Right, and me too, a couple years ago.

00:42:18.420 I mean, I didn't care either.

00:42:19.420 So hopefully minds are just being changed and they're on board and they're going to

00:42:23.500 continue this.

00:42:24.060 But yeah, so I believe also, and I like to say this because the left always, you know,

00:42:29.080 one of their negatives about Trump is like, well, I hate his ego.

00:42:32.080 And I'm like, okay, fine.

00:42:34.580 How can we use his ego to our advantage?

00:42:37.520 What does President Trump want more than anything?

00:42:39.200 He wants to be liked.

00:42:40.640 Anyone, all sides can agree on this.

00:42:42.820 I know.

00:42:43.060 Keep this to yourself.

00:42:43.780 I don't want the left to ever figure this out.

00:42:46.480 He wants to be liked.

00:42:47.540 Yeah, everybody does.

00:42:48.360 He knows that the one thing that nobody can deny writing a positive headline about is if

00:42:54.160 he is able to really truly reverse chronic disease within two years.

00:42:57.060 If he's able to start seeing a downtrend in two years.

00:42:59.160 Do you think you can?

00:42:59.620 Do you think he can?

00:43:00.420 Oh, yes, we can.

00:43:01.080 Because one of the first things that RFK Jr. is going to do is focus on fixing the school

00:43:04.880 lunches.

00:43:05.300 Okay, that's a huge thing right now.

00:43:06.600 We get this crap out of the kids' food.

00:43:08.080 Food, you're going to see a huge effect with that.

00:43:10.860 I thought Michelle Obama already did that.

00:43:13.040 So fun fact about Michelle Obama.

00:43:14.400 I love when people bring this up.

00:43:17.060 When Michelle Obama focused on food, well, let me start this over.

00:43:21.900 When Michelle Obama said that she wanted to focus on getting kids healthy, that was a

00:43:26.000 really noble thing that she wanted to do.

00:43:28.240 Everyone could agree on that.

00:43:29.540 At first, she focused on the food.

00:43:31.740 She was like, let's talk about what are we feeding our kids and the food companies.

00:43:34.740 And there's something really fishy going on here.

00:43:36.400 And then guess what happened?

00:43:37.320 And oh, here they come.

00:43:39.180 Heinz catch up.

00:43:40.020 And all these people.

00:43:40.360 I mean, think about Monsanto.

00:43:41.440 All the people who were wrapped up in the Obama administration, they said, get out of

00:43:44.800 here.

00:43:44.960 You will not touch this with a 10-foot pole.

00:43:47.080 You better pivot fast.

00:43:49.300 Focus on physical activity.

00:43:51.520 So what happened?

00:43:52.540 Michelle Obama starts renaming this campaign to Let's Move.

00:43:56.240 It becomes all about getting kids to run faster and jump roping.

00:43:59.480 And you're just not moving enough.

00:44:00.620 You know why you're a fat, stupid kid?

00:44:02.380 It's because you're not moving.

00:44:03.960 So you have all these fat kids in suburban America.

00:44:06.300 Well, I'm jogging after school and I don't understand what's going on.

00:44:09.060 I'm not getting well.

00:44:10.100 And then she's on the same time.

00:44:12.340 She's doing commercials with Subway.

00:44:14.260 She's promoting Subway.

00:44:15.680 She's promoting ultra processed foods, which are creating the obesity epidemic and causing

00:44:20.120 these problems.

00:44:20.680 And then the kids are saying, well, I don't understand.

00:44:22.560 I'm doing what the first lady is telling me.

00:44:24.600 Why do I still have man boobs?

00:44:26.840 That's why.

00:44:28.060 So she, it was-

00:44:29.580 I wish you were passionate about something.

00:44:31.400 It was smoke and mirrors from the Obama administration.

00:44:34.520 You know, Obama also campaigned on, we need to label GMOs in our food.

00:44:38.100 Completely abandoned it.

00:44:39.120 Started padding, you know, Monsanto people within the administration and the FDA and all

00:44:42.380 this.

00:44:42.800 So everything that they had promised, they really, that family went back on.

00:44:46.760 And so all of these Democrats that love Obama, I'm like, if that was your issue, here you

00:44:51.380 have Trump.

00:44:52.060 He's saying he's willing to do it.

00:44:53.880 Like, so, so you either cared about it then or you were lying or you're going to, you know,

00:44:57.500 care about it now.

00:44:58.280 Here's the thing that is amazing to me.

00:45:01.020 I've never seen a politician ever.

00:45:04.120 I mean, I'm, I'm a, you know, quasi historian.

00:45:07.880 I know history of America.

00:45:10.200 I don't think anyone has seen a president who is like, yep, we're going to do it.

00:45:15.100 I don't care if anybody likes it.

00:45:17.280 I'm going to do it.

00:45:18.080 But that's anything with him.

00:45:19.120 I know it is.

00:45:19.920 I know it is.

00:45:20.960 So I'm not worried about things when he's here.

00:45:26.760 I know.

00:45:27.660 It's, he's only has four years and he, he's told me, Glenn, it's going to take 12 to turn

00:45:34.620 this ship.

00:45:35.260 That's why J.D. Vance.

00:45:36.720 That's why, I mean, he's building a movement to try to take those other eight years when

00:45:43.360 he's not there because we, we could do this for two or three years and it's, oh, we're

00:45:50.120 just going to be able to touch the surface and it's going to be amazing, but it's just

00:45:53.160 going to be the start.

00:45:53.940 And so that's why, when I said earlier, Maha transcends MAGA.

00:45:57.980 Yes.

00:45:58.260 So the, the idea behind this whole coalition that RFK Jr. has started with Make America

00:46:03.060 Healthy Again is not that it has an expiration date of 2028.

00:46:06.860 It's that this is going to keep going and keep going and keep going.

00:46:09.900 So all of us that are in the Maha coalition, we are going to be doing this activism and fighting

00:46:14.140 for years to come.

00:46:16.080 It doesn't end with the Trump admin.

00:46:17.500 So whoever is president, Democrat, Republican, our job who are involved in this, we are going

00:46:23.260 to make sure that this keeps being, you know, top of conversation and all political movements

00:46:28.040 and all administrations going forward.

00:46:29.940 We can't just, it doesn't end with Trump because yeah, we will miss such a huge opportunity

00:46:34.580 if we stop with Trump.

00:46:35.820 So, you know, this is an exciting time to get on board and get bought in because we're going

00:46:40.360 to have so much fun in these four years, but then, you know, get involved and stay involved

00:46:43.460 going forward as well.

00:46:44.680 Um, how, um, how much does, um, the local farm matter versus Bill Gates farmer?

00:47:01.120 Well, incredibly, I mean, we were never supposed to have our fruits and vegetables and things,

00:47:09.040 you know, shipped across the country or from overseas.

00:47:11.160 And then you're waiting.

00:47:12.080 I mean, I just had a farmer, uh, Paul Grieve, who's the owner of pasture bird on culture

00:47:18.640 apothecary.

00:47:19.140 And he was talking about how, like, you know, your tomato, for example, like how it looks

00:47:23.820 so perfect and shiny and like it's chemicals that are how every tomato looks the same.

00:47:28.360 Like that was something we did as a marketing scheme.

00:47:31.300 You know, your tomato being perfect to ride in a truck all that time to get to you.

00:47:35.220 Like it's losing nutrient density as opposed to just picking it off the vine and eating

00:47:39.160 it within a day or two.

00:47:40.160 We were never supposed to wait that long to eat our food.

00:47:42.780 You know, bread, like you're sliced, but we always say like the best things in sliced

00:47:46.940 bread, like sliced bread was a terrible invention.

00:47:50.680 Your bread should not be mold free sitting on your counter for months.

00:47:54.960 It should get moldy within a few days.

00:47:57.360 There's something wrong with your food.

00:47:59.140 My chiropractor, Glenn, has a container of ultra processed muffins that he bought in like

00:48:05.140 2017 or something that sits out in his office.

00:48:07.220 There is not even a speck of mold on these things.

00:48:10.680 They look brand new and he bought them in 2017.

00:48:13.480 That is not food.

00:48:15.940 It's not food.

00:48:17.100 Food expires.

00:48:18.680 Food molds.

00:48:19.860 Food goes bad.

00:48:20.780 Food has imperfections.

00:48:22.340 If your food doesn't, it isn't food.

00:48:25.360 And so when I realized that 90% of what is in a grocery store today isn't food, it actually

00:48:32.240 isn't.

00:48:32.600 That's wild to think.

00:48:33.660 But what's in a grocery store, none of it is food, like only a few things and really

00:48:37.520 on the peripherals there.

00:48:38.840 That's the only food there is.

00:48:40.280 That will really change your life.

00:48:42.340 We are supposed to know and connect to who our local farmer is.

00:48:46.160 If we have another pandemic and we have food shortages, we will run out of food completely

00:48:51.780 in three days.

00:48:53.000 Almost all of America is fed by Walmart.

00:48:55.800 If Walmart, if a food supply issue causes Walmart to run out of food, there will be no food

00:49:00.200 in as little as three days.

00:49:02.220 That should absolutely terrify you.

00:49:04.160 The only way to solve that problem is to grow your own food, have access to some of it,

00:49:09.080 and know your local farmer or rancher.

00:49:11.020 We have to know who our local farmers and ranchers are.

00:49:13.260 I live in a town half the year up in Idaho.

00:49:15.980 I have a ranch and raise my own cattle, grow some of our own food and everything else.

00:49:23.780 And I live in a town of about 400 and I would say 450, but it's actually 448 because I can't

00:49:31.860 count my wife and I are farmers.

00:49:33.940 Okay, I'm just kind of like the guy who shows up and goes, yeah, that cow looks good.

00:49:38.860 Let's eat him.

00:49:41.140 The every farmer that I know and I live around, they are poor.

00:49:47.160 They are barely keeping their head above water.

00:49:50.980 The regulations that are coming down, they know the land.

00:49:56.600 They it's most of them, if not all of them are generational farmers.

00:50:00.960 They know the land, they know how to take care of it and they're being told what to do.

00:50:06.100 And then they're being squeezed by a big food and, and quite honestly, all these processing

00:50:11.780 plants.

00:50:12.400 So they're just putting them out of business.

00:50:14.500 I firmly believe food freedom is a human right.

00:50:19.760 That should be an American right to buy or sell or grow whatever food you want.

00:50:25.500 And I don't think that our founding fathers thought to include that because they thought

00:50:29.860 it was assumed.

00:50:31.160 Yes.

00:50:32.040 They didn't think they would need to say anything about that.

00:50:34.200 They didn't think that there was going to be different companies controlling seeds and

00:50:38.000 you know, what you can and cannot grow and, and all of this.

00:50:40.420 I mean, to do the idea to just drink what milk you want or whatever, it's like, duh.

00:50:44.580 So that's why I don't think that that was included because it just, they just figured it.

00:50:48.640 Well, of course, you know,

00:50:50.380 we find these truths to be self-evident.

00:50:52.460 They weren't for the rest of the world, but food that was self-evident to everyone in

00:50:58.760 the world, everyone, everyone.

00:51:03.160 So you, as somebody who is the, the healthiest time in my life was growing up.

00:51:13.940 My dad was a baker and generational.

00:51:16.520 I'm the first Beck, as far back as we can track that did not go into baking.

00:51:23.200 Thank God.

00:51:24.360 And, um, my father used to say, cause I, I used to trade my dad's sandwich bread for

00:51:32.760 wonder bread because you could roll it up in a ball.

00:51:36.380 I mean, it was like everything awful about wonder bread as a kid.

00:51:40.080 If you're only getting that, you know, the good bread, you, you look at, well, that comes

00:51:46.180 from a store and that's gotta be better.

00:51:48.480 It's special.

00:51:49.100 Yeah.

00:51:49.680 Um, but my father used to always say no chemicals, real butter, real cream.

00:51:57.540 Yes.

00:51:57.940 You might get fatter because you're eating too much of it, but that's what it has to be made

00:52:05.960 with.

00:52:06.560 We are so far away from that.

00:52:08.780 And we're also, most people don't have any idea that the meat that they buy isn't already

00:52:15.880 ground up, that it's actually a cow and cows have nothing to do with a styrofoam or the

00:52:21.120 plastic over it.

00:52:22.220 They have no idea where their food comes.

00:52:24.640 The only way to truly stop this is if people, and right now a lot of people can't, if people

00:52:31.940 grow their own fruits and vegetables as much as they can, they can from a local farm, they

00:52:41.160 buy everything local.

00:52:43.280 Yeah.

00:52:44.040 That's the only way you're going to stop this.

00:52:46.320 It's the only way.

00:52:46.920 And so this is the problem.

00:52:49.480 We are prioritizing and glorifying convenience over health.

00:52:53.120 There is a cost to that.

00:52:54.140 If that is the most important thing to you is that, well, I just need to eat a quick

00:52:57.160 meal, you know, on the way to my son's soccer practice.

00:52:59.840 Okay.

00:53:00.420 Well, then that's your choice, but there is going to be a cost.

00:53:03.440 It's going to be health.

00:53:04.400 Now, is it a little bit more work to make every meal at home?

00:53:07.920 Yeah, it is.

00:53:09.260 Then going through Chick-fil-A drive-thru, but there is going to be a price to pay.

00:53:13.300 So you have to figure that, figure out in the moment, is it time?

00:53:16.360 Is that the price I'm willing to pay?

00:53:17.400 Is my time and the convenience?

00:53:18.700 Or is it, you know, years in the hospital and hospital bills down the road?

00:53:22.620 So a prime example of this is my own dad.

00:53:25.560 My dad just passed away in December.

00:53:28.260 He was addicted to ultra processed food.

00:53:31.500 My dad had multiple heart attacks starting in his forties.

00:53:35.700 He was a type two diabetic, which we used to call, remember, adult onset diabetes.

00:53:42.800 You know why we call it type two diabetes now?

00:53:44.800 Because kids are getting it.

00:53:46.340 So it's not adult onset.

00:53:47.780 It's kids because now kids are eating just as crappy and horribly as adults.

00:53:53.340 And then my dad developed brain cancer.

00:53:56.880 He was diagnosed with glioblastoma last January.

00:53:59.660 Oh, my God.

00:54:00.100 So all of these things were happening completely lifestyle choice induced.

00:54:06.420 Growing up, I mean, my dad was such a picky eater and everything like, oh, let's go to White Castle, whatever.

00:54:11.200 We had removed his brain tumor.

00:54:13.340 And on the way home after brain tumor surgery, he said, please, can we just stop at Chick-fil-A?

00:54:18.020 Please, I need to stop at Chick-fil-A.

00:54:19.140 I'm like crying, begging, please, like I'll make you exactly the same thing at home.

00:54:24.980 I'll make you chicken nuggets.

00:54:26.200 I'll make you pizza.

00:54:27.040 But I will do it with real ingredients and I'll do it at home.

00:54:30.140 Nope, nope, nope.

00:54:30.660 I got to have it.

00:54:31.140 I got to have it.

00:54:31.500 Just let me have this one time.

00:54:32.560 Get home a couple hours later.

00:54:33.620 Oh, can we just please go to pizza?

00:54:34.960 Please let me go to pizza.

00:54:35.880 It was an addiction just like anything else.

00:54:37.800 Just like drugs, alcohol, people don't understand.

00:54:40.080 The food is engineered.

00:54:41.460 And this is why it's so hard when people say, I don't understand why I can't lose weight.

00:54:44.700 It's because it's working against you.

00:54:46.620 The food is chemically engineered in such a way it is nearly impossible to stop eating it.

00:54:52.140 The reason why, Glenn, you and I sitting here right now, if I say the word Chick-fil-A sandwich,

00:54:55.820 know exactly what it tastes like, it was engineered that way.

00:54:59.060 Yes.

00:54:59.520 Our brains are hijacked.

00:55:00.540 I know exactly what a Jiffy pancake tastes like.

00:55:04.560 I know exactly what a Wendy's chicken nugget tastes like versus McDonald's.

00:55:09.160 It was designed that way so that you crave it.

00:55:10.980 And then I have to have it.

00:55:11.780 I have to go to that place.

00:55:12.580 It's the same every time.

00:55:14.180 And what's scary is, no matter where you are in the world, with few exceptions,

00:55:19.240 a McDonald's burger tastes exactly the same.

00:55:22.260 Yeah.

00:55:22.720 Where I go and have a street taco in Texas and have one in Mexico City,

00:55:28.740 the meat doesn't taste the same.

00:55:31.260 Same cities, McDonald's does.

00:55:34.080 Yeah.

00:55:34.820 And so I was like spending this last year, you know, of my dad's life just asking him,

00:55:40.140 like, please let me buy you some.

00:55:41.420 I knew he was going to die.

00:55:42.620 I mean, it was, glioblastoma is the most deadly brain cancer.

00:55:45.200 Also, he was in heart failure.

00:55:46.480 So what actually ended up killing him was heart failure.

00:55:48.980 His heart just stopped.

00:55:49.680 He needed a heart transplant, but with having brain cancer,

00:55:52.240 they won't allow you to get a organs transplant.

00:55:55.060 So it was a lot of things going on and I knew he was going to die,

00:55:58.120 but I was just like, if we could just buy you like a couple more months.

00:56:00.400 And I was telling him, I need you to tell the nutritionist at the hospital to put you on a keto diet.

00:56:06.260 I knew from everyone that I'd interviewed, all of these different functional medicine doctors and integrative cancer specialists,

00:56:12.260 that keto diet is one of the most life-saving things that you could do for brain cancer.

00:56:16.580 He goes to the hospital nutritionist and says, okay, my daughter, she's very into health.

00:56:22.460 She says I should do keto.

00:56:24.360 The nutritionist says, oh no, that's like a terrible idea.

00:56:27.160 Like you don't want to, you know, all these like animal fats and different things like that.

00:56:30.680 Like stay away.

00:56:32.240 This would be a terrible idea.

00:56:33.440 Were they putting chemo into his body at the same time that she's saying this?

00:56:36.640 Yeah.

00:56:37.000 Yeah.

00:56:37.300 Okay, good.

00:56:37.800 Yeah.

00:56:37.980 He was doing the chemo pill and he was doing radiation and everything.

00:56:41.920 We're also telling him you're definitely going to die.

00:56:44.120 You have about 18 months to live, but also we need you to do.

00:56:46.120 And I kept saying, okay, will anyone answer the question?

00:56:49.080 Why, if he's dying anyway, we know he has 18 months or so because of his heart and all this anyway.

00:56:53.140 Why does he need to do the chemo pill and wreck his body?

00:56:55.200 Like what is the point?

00:56:56.320 Nobody could answer that question.

00:56:58.020 And my parents were so scared because, and I understand I'm their baby.

00:57:01.340 I'm not a health professional in their eyes.

00:57:02.920 They're like, are we going to listen to our daughter who just got into this a year and a half ago?

00:57:07.040 Or what the doctors are telling us, you know, in Indiana.

00:57:09.640 And so the doctor said that's a terrible idea.

00:57:11.960 Now it just came out a week ago.

00:57:13.600 So patients with glioblastoma who do a keto diet, they buy months of time, months of time.

00:57:20.160 Sometimes are you living years longer on a keto diet than without.

00:57:24.820 And so it's very frustrating.

00:57:26.300 And so my thing is like now I couldn't save my dad.

00:57:29.840 Okay.

00:57:30.320 And I tried, but I can maybe with the information that I share on my show, I can help save someone else or someone else's loved one.

00:57:39.380 And so that's kind of become my mission now is that I wish so bad I could have saved him.

00:57:44.160 But kind of understanding this process and, you know, watching him be in the hospital, literally waiting surgery for a brain tumor.

00:57:51.940 And the nurses were bringing in cases of soda.

00:57:55.220 And I said, hey, my dad has a brain tumor surgery scheduled tomorrow.

00:58:00.900 Do you think he should maybe have water?

00:58:03.480 Or, oh, that's maybe a good idea.

00:58:06.080 Sure.

00:58:06.980 You know, the high fructose corn syrup jam that they're bringing him in the hospital bed were literally, you know, the Coca-Cola machines in the hospital.

00:58:15.400 Has it occurred to anybody that you're feeding patients the food that got them there in the first place when we're sending people to the hospital?

00:58:23.040 The hospital, it seems more and more, is not even the place we send people to get better.

00:58:26.560 We send them to get worse.

00:58:28.520 I mean, so the whole thing was so frustrating.

00:58:30.760 So I'm like, I have to talk about this.

00:58:32.400 I have to alert the masses.

00:58:33.940 This is so important to me.

00:58:35.440 I mean, good grief.

00:58:36.740 And so that is now going forward, you know, in honor of my dad.

00:58:40.240 I couldn't save him.

00:58:41.240 I hope I can save other people.

00:58:43.540 And I'm not the expert, by the way, Glenn.

00:58:45.740 I tried to say no to testify at the Senate because I said, what the heck are you asking me to do this for?

00:58:50.980 I dropped out of college.

00:58:52.420 I have no idea what I'm doing.

00:58:53.840 Like, I'm interviewing the experts.

00:58:55.520 I'm not the expert.

00:58:56.560 I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

00:58:58.240 I'm learning something new every day.

00:59:00.560 But Callie Means actually convinced me to do it.

00:59:04.860 And he said, like, you don't need to be the expert.

00:59:06.920 I just want you to be the voice of the audience that you speak to every day.

00:59:11.080 The, you know, how hard it is to raise healthy kids in America.

00:59:13.840 The different hoops that you have to jump through to get, you know, clear nutritional information and navigating the vaccine schedule.

00:59:19.640 All those things.

00:59:20.420 Just say what you hear in your messages every day from your audience.

00:59:23.840 And so that's how I wrote my speech.

00:59:25.580 And it ended up going, I call it triple platinum viral.

00:59:29.020 And I said no to doing that a couple times.

00:59:31.420 I was just, like, so scared to do it.

00:59:33.140 But I'm so glad I did.

00:59:35.240 And it was just, it's so bizarre.

00:59:36.780 Like, my dad was watching that and sharing it on his Facebook and being like, yeah, make America healthy again.

00:59:42.020 And, like, he understood what I was doing, but he just, like, couldn't quite do it for himself.

00:59:46.660 Yeah.

00:59:47.380 So, yeah.

00:59:48.980 Hey, Richard.

00:59:49.820 Great to speak to you.

00:59:53.820 Yeah.

00:59:55.860 Ever wish your office came with a quiet button?

01:00:01.220 That's what it feels like to step inside a soundproof office booth.

01:00:04.800 Like putting on noise-canceling headphones.

01:00:06.720 Except you can still take a call, run a meeting, or focus without distraction.

01:00:12.340 Soundproof?

01:00:13.140 Private.

01:00:13.920 Ready when you are.

01:00:15.480 Search Bureau office booths or head to withbureau.com.

01:00:19.460 I want to talk to you about something that is deeply personal to me.

01:00:28.640 And I just want to understand your point of view.

01:00:33.080 Suicide runs in my family like a pack of wild elephants.

01:00:36.720 Um, I lost my mother to suicide, lost my brother to suicide.

01:00:42.020 Um, uh, everyone in my family, except maybe two, has, has, had serious bouts of depression.

01:00:56.220 There is a difference to me of depression and familial, I see the cycle, I can watch it, I can see it happening to my children, I can see it in me.

01:01:09.400 And I've, when I got married to my wife, I said, these are the signs you look for.

01:01:13.020 Yeah.

01:01:13.320 Okay.

01:01:14.360 Um, because I've watched my family kill themselves.

01:01:17.940 Um, and you, you've come out and you've said on depression that these drugs don't work.

01:01:26.380 And that might be true.

01:01:29.420 And I know nobody knows how they work, but we're so arrogant to think we'd know how this body works in the first place.

01:01:36.960 But I know, I have seen, we over, again, dogs, Prozac, we over-medicate on everything.

01:01:45.100 But are you, are you, do you really believe that true clinical depression that is not caused from a sad day, okay, um, doesn't exist and you can't, and these drugs do nothing?

01:02:07.860 Yes, there is true clinical depression.

01:02:10.080 What's interesting to me, and I talked to, you should have on, Dr. Roger McFillin.

01:02:16.480 He's a clinical psychiatrist who specializes in, in this, and SSRIs and antidepressants and what's wrong with them.

01:02:23.660 So when you look at the studies of putting someone on an antidepressant and a placebo and like how they do, the placebo effect, the antidepressant is, is basically the lines are exactly the same.

01:02:35.780 Like it is a placebo drug.

01:02:38.140 This is what we're seeing.

01:02:41.060 All?

01:02:42.240 Yes.

01:02:42.620 Medicine?

01:02:43.800 So with antidepressants, with SSRIs.

01:02:46.140 Okay.

01:02:46.620 So you're seeing that people that are given a placebo versus antidepressant, it's like exactly the same.

01:02:50.540 Oh, I'm like so much better taking this pill.

01:02:53.300 And they're neck and neck.

01:02:54.500 It's like barely above, which is very interesting to me.

01:02:57.720 And what I also think is interesting is that one of the main side effects of an SSRI, an antidepressant, is anxiety and depression, serious depression.

01:03:09.500 So we're taking this pill to cure this, but it also causes it, which is weird.

01:03:17.220 And we see better effects with changing things like food, diet, environment, movement.

01:03:26.420 Those are the true antidepressants that we see time and time again.

01:03:30.640 That's when people are really, it's showing more of a positive effect than the antidepressants.

01:03:35.900 Do you believe that it's genetic in any way?

01:03:38.260 I haven't heard anything about that from anyone that I've interviewed.

01:03:44.300 Okay.

01:03:44.700 So that would be something very interesting, especially with your family, because you have multiple generations dealing with that.

01:03:50.620 Yeah.

01:03:50.760 So I would be curious, like, okay, is there a genetic component or is it habits, familial learned habits that like your mom did this, your mom's mom did this, your brother.

01:04:00.860 Like, it's just like learned things or like ways you eat or places that you live.

01:04:04.940 So I will tell you, it's weird, because I don't know if you're right or wrong.

01:04:08.620 I'm not sitting here saying, you're wrong.

01:04:11.080 I don't know.

01:04:11.900 I don't know.

01:04:14.100 But I do know that I went through a period of life in my 20s that I cannot logically explain to where the world just closed in on me.

01:04:28.240 And I went to, finally, a friend, because I kept saying, it's me.

01:04:34.720 It's me.

01:04:36.080 And a friend said, I'm taking you to the hospital.

01:04:40.780 And the drug at the time was Elavil.

01:04:46.140 And Elavil would just put you, I mean, you just, you slept.

01:04:50.560 And they put me on Elavil.

01:04:53.000 And I was out foggy for a few days.

01:04:56.720 And then the first day, I don't even remember how many days it was.

01:05:01.380 But the first day that I was really back aware, I remember walking into the bathroom and looking at myself in the mirror and thinking, where have you been?

01:05:13.780 I mean, it was night and day.

01:05:17.600 Yeah.

01:05:17.900 No, it's so interesting.

01:05:20.200 I mean, it is like people that are dealing with it in the severe levels.

01:05:24.140 I think that would be such a good conversation to have with him.

01:05:27.460 Because, yeah, it is a little bit unexplainable.

01:05:30.340 So maybe there is something to it.

01:05:31.700 And maybe that even that little smidge above placebo, like maybe that is still helpful in some cases.

01:05:37.300 Yeah.

01:05:37.680 I don't know.

01:05:38.220 And I don't know, and I do, we do not have a issue of depression in this country at the rate that it's happening.

01:05:53.820 No.

01:05:54.060 That is environment.

01:05:56.820 That is, I mean, you can tie this curve going straight up or a very steep curve of depression going up with teenagers with the introduction of the iPhone.

01:06:09.960 Exactly.

01:06:11.960 You know, and I'm not saying that's the only thing, but there are things you're like, oh, that was introduced and look, that watched up.

01:06:18.320 And then that was introduced and that notched up.

01:06:20.580 We are, there are reasons, but I'm not sure it's always that way.

01:06:27.280 Have you heard of something called PSSD?

01:06:30.940 No.

01:06:31.620 Post-SSRI, sexual dysfunction.

01:06:35.000 This is one of the most disturbing side effects that has come out.

01:06:39.700 People that are on an antidepressant or SSRI, as little as a week, it's basically instant, can have lifelong debilitating genital numbness, no ability to climax experience sexual pleasure at all, completely ruins their life.

01:06:55.280 Also, things like experiencing joy and euphoria in any way, even non-sexual.

01:07:00.700 And we are seeing people come out of the woodwork, like had no idea that this was a side effect.

01:07:04.980 That's super scary.

01:07:05.580 So I think that is, that goes back to, I mean, I remember when, this is 40 years ago.

01:07:13.640 And I said to the doctor, how exactly does this work?

01:07:17.720 And he said, we have, I could give you a bunch of gobbledygook.

01:07:22.400 He said, but the truth is, we have no idea.

01:07:24.040 Right.

01:07:24.600 We have no idea.

01:07:25.660 And I don't think we have any idea on most things in our body yet, especially the brain.

01:07:32.320 What we used to be told and whatever, and everybody, you know, it's like normal.

01:07:36.040 It's part of the like everyday, you know, lexicon is there's a chemical imbalance in the brain.

01:07:41.060 These people have a chemical imbalance.

01:07:44.620 Saying that there is a chemical imbalance in the brain that causes depression was a marketing tool, slogan created by big pharma.

01:07:52.960 Think about it.

01:07:55.220 How do you test for a chemical imbalance in the brain?

01:07:57.300 Is there, is there a blood draw?

01:07:58.860 There's nothing.

01:07:59.800 And then you go and you try to figure out, well, how do we know if somebody's depressed?

01:08:03.960 Well, you, you make a, uh, uh, an appointment with your general practitioner and they give you a little sheet of paper.

01:08:08.700 This is what they do today.

01:08:09.500 And you do this like 10 question questionnaire and, you know, they're asking you questions like, uh, have you experienced, uh, you know, feeling worthless in the last two weeks?

01:08:19.380 Have you experienced being sad in the last two weeks?

01:08:21.720 I mean, every, yes, yes, yes, yes.

01:08:23.100 Of course.

01:08:23.320 Yes.

01:08:23.480 And then you look at the very bottom of the paper and it's like sponsored by, or, or whatever by Pfizer and some friends, something like that.

01:08:33.660 The entire 10 question questionnaire that we give out to every single doctor's office is another marketing tool funnel, like flies to honey to bring people in, to get everyone on an antidepressant.

01:08:45.640 So that's super scary.

01:08:47.020 It doesn't seem like anything has changed since the days when somebody was told to eat ham and bacon for breakfast.

01:08:54.880 Nothing has changed.

01:08:55.920 And so that is what has to change is that nothing has changed.

01:09:00.000 Um, I would love to have you back because I'd, I'd actually like to, um, I'd actually like to go through like my life.

01:09:09.000 Cause I think I'm pretty normal bad eater, you know?

01:09:14.220 Uh, you want me to go through your grocery list?

01:09:16.480 I would, I would, because I don't know.

01:09:19.000 I'm at this place.

01:09:20.100 I'm super, super busy.

01:09:22.180 Um, my wife is on this track, but I don't, I don't know.

01:09:27.600 And you know, look at me.

01:09:30.900 Well, let me give you one.

01:09:31.680 I mean, how much longer am I going to be able to live if I change all of the food?

01:09:35.180 I mean, you really think I got, I get an extra 10 minutes.

01:09:38.900 Still, but 10 minutes is 10 minutes, right?

01:09:40.760 To see your grandkids again and your kids and your wife.

01:09:43.240 So, so one little nugget, not a chicken nugget that I'll leave you with is it's as simple as real food.

01:09:50.040 If God made it, eat it.

01:09:51.860 If it's a single ingredient item, eat it.

01:09:54.340 That's beef, eggs, uh, you know, uh, even flour, sugar, sugar itself.

01:10:02.120 Isn't bad.

01:10:02.660 If it's organic, non GMO sugar, um, you know, real sugar is good.

01:10:06.780 It's, but isn't that processed and refined?

01:10:09.500 No, real raw, organic sugar.

01:10:11.520 There's nothing wrong with sugar.

01:10:13.120 Isn't that a cane?

01:10:14.420 A sugar cane?

01:10:15.080 Yeah.

01:10:15.620 High fructose, high fructose.

01:10:17.720 Yeah.

01:10:18.240 Engineered chemical sugar is what is hijacking your brain and you can't stop eating.

01:10:22.140 So like ice cream can be a health food.

01:10:24.760 If you're only, you know, there's like three ingredients.

01:10:27.620 If there's three ingredients in ice cream, Glenn, have ice cream, but the ice cream now

01:10:31.300 that you get at Walmart or, uh, other big box stores, do an experiment, get a, get a little

01:10:37.800 nutty buddy or one of these, you know, fudge bars or whatever, set it on your counter, see

01:10:42.400 how long it takes to melt.

01:10:43.500 They don't melt.

01:10:44.560 Now, why isn't the ice cream melting?

01:10:47.520 Because it's not ice cream.

01:10:48.900 So real food, like I said, should expire, should go bad.

01:10:52.300 And, um, shopping the peripherals of the grocery store.

01:10:54.660 If you're, if you're on those aisles and you're not going in the center, then you're going

01:10:58.140 to be able to find real food.

01:11:00.200 And so if you are to look at a box, um, cause you know, I do like cookies and things like

01:11:04.820 that occasionally.

01:11:05.180 I know the brands that are seed oil free and, and, and better for you.

01:11:08.120 So if I'm looking at a box of cookies and every single ingredient, like, oh, I could have

01:11:12.240 those items in my pantry and make this.

01:11:14.180 I know it's real food.

01:11:15.240 If there's like monodiglycerides and things like that, and they're like, what the hell is

01:11:18.640 that?

01:11:19.040 Then that's, then don't buy that.

01:11:20.500 Um, so a monodiglycerides, by the way, if you ever see that on something that's trans

01:11:24.420 fat, which they banned because they know that it causes heart attacks, but now they're sneaking

01:11:28.020 it in through monodiglycerides.

01:11:29.420 So stay away from that ingredient.

01:11:30.700 Um, but that's, what's in all those ice creams that aren't melting.

01:11:33.760 So, um, you know, looking for real food, it's very simple and you don't need to overwhelm

01:11:37.620 yourself by like, oh, I have to memorize what every single thing, like artificial food

01:11:41.120 dies in and seed oils.

01:11:42.760 And what is this on the label?

01:11:43.720 And what does this focus on one thing?

01:11:45.560 Like, I want to learn what seed oils are.

01:11:47.580 I want to know exactly what to look for.

01:11:48.880 I want to be able to spot that on a food label and avoid it.

01:11:51.340 Then you can get really confident and expert level on that.

01:11:54.220 And then you can move on to the next ingredient.

01:11:56.220 So what is the, um, uh, when you look at the food, that sounds really easy.

01:12:05.380 Um, when you look at, uh, the oils, what is the difference between the oils?

01:12:12.420 So, I mean, I mean, I always think like milk, you can't, if it doesn't have a, a teat, that's

01:12:20.380 not milk.

01:12:21.360 Well, that's true.

01:12:22.720 Yeah.

01:12:23.020 You're thinking like almond milk and oat milk.

01:12:24.560 Yeah.

01:12:24.860 So what is the difference in the oils?

01:12:28.320 So you want to avoid these industrialized seed oils, which are things like canola oil,

01:12:35.340 vegetable oils, not from vegetables, uh, rapeseed, grapeseed.

01:12:39.980 It's not from vegetables.

01:12:41.700 No.

01:12:42.420 This is like, I mean, basically like you could clean jet engines with it.

01:12:45.940 And we, this was not made for human consumption.

01:12:48.280 Uh, it's oil byproducts.

01:12:50.900 Like you are.

01:12:51.880 None of that is, that's all from the ground and not from a vegetable from the ground.

01:12:56.660 That's all from pumping oil out of the ground.

01:12:59.220 It's.

01:13:00.100 I don't.

01:13:00.820 A byproduct of that.

01:13:01.480 Yeah.

01:13:01.840 Yeah.

01:13:02.160 It's nasty.

01:13:02.900 Like watch it, watch a video of like how canola oil is made.

01:13:05.880 You're going to throw up.

01:13:06.520 Like you're gonna be like, what the heck have I been eating?

01:13:08.240 This is disgusting.

01:13:09.620 Olive oil.

01:13:10.480 Okay.

01:13:10.800 Olive oil is good.

01:13:11.180 So, um, yeah, you want to avoid soybean, um, sunflower.

01:13:15.940 You want to avoid it once in a while.

01:13:17.840 If you have like a, like a cookie or something and they use sunflower oil, that would probably

01:13:21.680 be the best out of all of them, but you don't want to use it.

01:13:24.340 Um, what you do want to cook with is just grass fed butter.

01:13:28.960 It's really that easy.

01:13:30.400 Olive oil, uh, and ghee, you could do ghee, beef tallow, you know, your animal fats.

01:13:36.720 And then occasionally, um, sometimes people can use avocado oil, um, that's fine.

01:13:43.440 But just, that's kind of a gray area because avocado oil could be mixed with other oils or

01:13:48.200 rancid.

01:13:48.880 We're finding a lot of avocado oils are actually rancid on the shelves.

01:13:51.980 So I, I kind of stay away from avocado oil, but, um, yeah, olive oil and, you know, make

01:13:57.080 sure it's single origin.

01:13:58.640 So it, and it'll say on there, like in cut with other oils.

01:14:01.060 That means it's got seed oils in there.

01:14:02.360 It's canola oil and olive oil.

01:14:03.620 Like you want 100% organic, extra virgin olive oil.

01:14:06.940 That's it from one place.

01:14:08.420 What is it?

01:14:09.180 When you look at the labels and it says GMO, I don't believe, I don't non GMO.

01:14:13.400 I don't believe labels anymore.

01:14:14.700 It's all 100% organic.

01:14:16.420 I don't believe that anymore because everybody found loopholes to everything.

01:14:20.960 That's true.

01:14:21.540 So I still, if I'm buying something at a grocery store, I still will buy the organic or non GMO

01:14:26.180 thing, but also knowing that the only way you can truly know how clean your food is,

01:14:32.400 is to know your farmer.

01:14:34.220 So that's that.

01:14:35.080 I mean, you know, I can pick up organic asparagus.

01:14:37.120 Is it really 100% organic?

01:14:39.700 I'm taking a gamble.

01:14:40.780 I mean, we know for sure there's some different like pesticides and herbicides and stuff not

01:14:43.680 being used, but if you want to be 100% sure you have to grow it yourself or you have to

01:14:47.880 know who your farmer is at your farmer's market.

01:14:50.040 And also when you're at the farmer's market, ask the farmers, what are you spraying on your

01:14:54.660 crops?

01:14:55.040 What are your, what are your animals eating?

01:14:57.760 You know, well, how do you farm?

01:14:59.040 Can I tour your farm?

01:15:00.060 If they start giving you a bunch of weird answers or like, oh no, we don't do farm tours and

01:15:03.480 all this, like run.

01:15:04.640 What you're seeing a lot now is people at the farmer's market are going to Costco and stuff,

01:15:08.660 buying like bags of green beans and then dumping it out and being like, oh yeah, buy my green

01:15:12.800 beans.
