A new piece from Media Matters accuses Fox News of firing Tucker Carlson because he's a "woke" conservative. Megyn and Stu Bergeer discuss why this is a bad idea. Plus, Ron DeSantis gets a new accuser.
00:11:18.220They lost on Friday in the 8.00 PM to both MSNBC and CNN.
00:11:23.400It's you have to try hard to lose to CNN.
00:11:25.660The nine and the 10.00 PM also lost to MSNBC.
00:11:30.020The 9.00 PM only went up to 100,000 in the demo.
00:11:33.060The 10.00 PM was back down to 94,000 in the demo.
00:11:36.100So what happens is they lose eight, they hemorrhage at eight, and then they never recover.
00:11:41.100The whole prime time is blown out still.
00:11:44.460This is, I mean, that is a jaw dropping number.
00:11:47.560It's hard to describe to people who aren't in this business what kind of number that is.
00:11:51.480You know, I do a radio show every day with Glenn Beck, and people remember Glenn from his time at Fox News, and so much of this is so familiar.
00:11:59.740But people don't really remember that before he was on Fox News, he did a little show over at CNN Headline News at 7 o'clock for a few years.
00:12:10.640We were doubling those numbers in the demo at CNN Headline News, not even regular CNN.
00:12:16.860And, I mean, 90,000 in the demo is catastrophic.
00:12:23.060If you look back, and it's funny looking at the Dominion text that came out, they were panicking over a few people leaving to Newsmax for a while during the post-election aftermath.
00:12:32.520I can't even imagine what is going on over there.
00:12:35.420They must be running around panicking.
00:12:37.020And maybe that explains the sloppiness of this campaign or this alleged campaign from people like Irina Briganti.
00:12:45.920And I will say alleged because I don't want negative things leaked about my children to their school newspaper.
00:12:50.460But, you know, I will say this is the type of campaign that looks terrible because they seem incredibly desperate.
00:12:59.240This is not just the number one cable news channel.
00:13:02.960This is the number one or number two overall cable channel month after month after month for years and years and years and years.
00:13:11.480And they're turning out, you know, audiences that are similar to fish tanks at pet stores right now.
00:16:18.280I mean, anyone who ever went on Tucker's show knows that the difference between appearing on his show and any other show was night and day.
00:16:26.880I mean, the first time you did it, as soon as you were done, your phone's blowing up.
00:16:31.700The only thing I could ever compare it to is like when Rush Limbaugh would read one of your columns and all of a sudden, like your uncle's emailing you.
00:18:05.320Everyone's talking about Tucker every night.
00:18:07.520And to take that audience who went through that journey with you and flush them down the toilet and not even give them an explanation is terrible.
00:18:14.040And, you know, if you did, not many people are.
00:18:16.280But if you did happen to tune in to Fox News over the past couple of weeks, if you happen to turn it on, you'd see a lot of coverage, a lot of mockery, a lot of finger waving against Bud Light for losing 16 to 20 percent of their sales.
00:18:30.840And saying, how could they not know these people screwed up so bad, Dylan Mulvaney?
00:19:45.760Irina Briganti publicly denied that she's behind the leaks.
00:19:49.540So she's spoken out saying it's it's a lie.
00:19:52.760But I take you back again to that New York Times report.
00:19:56.680Who else would have access to both Tucker's private texts that were given to the Fox lawyers in the Dominion litigation, which appeared in that New York Times report a week ago, and to two of the leaked videos.
00:20:13.640The first two showing Tucker sitting on the set could be a rogue employee doing the second thing, could be some pissed off whatever taping Tucker just because he doesn't like him.
00:20:24.320Right. Some tech guy who has access could be could be.
00:20:27.080How does that guy know what Tucker texted that he handed over only to the general counsel?
00:20:32.540Huh? Ask yourself that because the same person was undoubtedly supplying the New York Times.
00:20:37.980It didn't just so happen that someone either on the Fox side or the Dominion side provided the New York Times with those texts.
00:20:44.620And then that errant tech person just happened to pick the same reporters on the same day to forward his first two leaks before he caught on to me.
00:20:54.920That didn't happen. Use your head so she can deny it all she wants.
00:20:59.680That's her history. She's denied many, many leaks that she's done about me and others.
00:21:03.120I take you back to the Roger Ailes days when she was protecting him and not the women that she was supposed to be protecting at the company.
00:21:09.120And then denying that, too. And if you need look no further than the Fox News, milk toast, threatening letters to Dominion and Media Matters like, you know, you shouldn't publish.
00:21:22.580So it's not like, you know, it's not appropriate. We don't we don't want it. We don't appreciate it.
00:21:28.140Wilson Sonsini, trust me, they know how to write a true nasty gram. That's not what they did there.
00:21:33.060So the writing is right there for anybody who's smart enough to read it. OK, we'll continue to follow it and figure out what the next move is.
00:21:40.300Speaking of leaking, Ron DeSantis had some traitor leak on him.
00:21:45.900This was from debate prep against Andrew Gillum, that guy who turned out to be a hot mess that he ran against down in Florida for governor in 2018.
00:21:55.160Now somebody leaked tape of the debate prep, which is just such a dirtbag move.
00:22:00.580If you can't trust the people in the room when you're doing something that private, you know, like, OK, let's see Andrew Gillum's debate prep tapes.
00:22:07.080And you can't, apparently. So here's a little bit of what they leaked.
00:22:10.880Once again, don't see how it makes him look bad. But here it is.
00:22:15.260Is there any issue upon which you disagree with President Trump?
00:22:21.040Obviously, there is, because I mean, I voted contrary to him in the car.
00:22:24.120I have to frame it in a way that's not going to piss off all his voters.
00:22:27.600So what I do is I do what I think is right. I support his agenda in terms of what he's been able to do.
00:22:32.980If I have a disagreement, I talk to him in private.
00:22:34.720I think when you walk up there, if you have a pad, you have to write in all caps at the top of the pad, likeable.
00:22:40.520And I do the same thing because I have the same personality. We're both aggressive.
00:22:46.960I don't know what you guys think. To me, it's a weak sauce.
00:22:51.700I think he looks good. I think that's not only does he look fine, but that's actually the right answer, even today, in regard to Trump, right?
00:23:03.080I mean, Ron DeSantis is not in a position where he can go around saying, like, Donald Trump was a horrible president, right?
00:23:08.320He's on the record saying that Donald Trump was a good president.
00:23:10.580So he has to run a campaign where he says something along the lines of Donald Trump was a very good president, but here's why I can be more effective because I have a different set of skills.
00:23:19.280That's exactly what I saw there. And I can't imagine why anybody thought that would hurt him.
00:23:24.760So Matt Gaetz was there. He was there doing the debate prep with DeSantis at the time, as was Byron Donalds, who we've had on the show.
00:23:32.960And Matt Gaetz put out a tweet that reads, I ran the DeSantis debate prep in 2018, though I prefer Trump for president bigly.
00:23:41.640The release of these videos by the person operating the camera, he names the person, doesn't name him, name him, but he identifies who he believes it was by the person operating the camera is disloyal hackery that I do not abide.
00:23:55.860Staffers who leak on the candidates they've done work for deserve the reputations they get.
00:24:00.340That's pretty extraordinary. I don't know how he knows that was the person, but now you got to worry about your tech crew right now.
00:24:07.260You got to worry about the guy who's actually shooting the debate prep so you can watch back later.
00:24:10.960This disloyalty, is this a growing thing? You know, we're taping we're taping the anchors now and they're more casual moments.
00:24:19.080We're taping the presidential candidates and these disloyal hacks.
00:24:23.180That's the right word by Matt Gaetz. Release it publicly.
00:24:26.340I think it is getting much, much worse. And and we're going to see a lot more of this, I think, unfortunately, over the next year.
00:24:34.100Right. I mean, Ron DeSantis is probably going to get into this race and his team and the people around him back in 2018 when he was running.
00:24:42.600You know, a lot of those people were really big Trump supporters, and I think the alternate is true as well.
00:24:48.480A lot of the big Trump supporters, people that I know who are huge Trump supporters have decided to decide with Ron DeSantis in the in the primaries coming up.
00:24:57.380And there's been all sorts of backroom conversations and coordination and strategy sessions between these two sides.
00:25:04.640And now they're going to go up against each other in which seems like a increasingly ugly battle.
00:25:10.700I wish this wasn't the case. I mean, look, Donald Trump did a lot of good things when he was in office.
00:25:14.760We've you know, Ron DeSantis has done a lot of really good things for Florida.
00:25:18.280They're both have really important messages and I think can improve the country, certainly from where we are.
00:25:23.400The fact that they're going to want to, you know, murder each other for the next year, I don't think necessarily is a positive for the country.
00:25:30.360But I mean, you look at these debate tapes and I think one thing it might remind people of is the fact that he was debating Andrew Gillum and he won that race by 0.4 percent in 2018.
00:25:42.960And then he ran again and won by 20 points.
00:25:46.560This is a guy who has a really good record.
00:25:49.480And, you know, Donald Trump was on record saying he was a good governor.
00:25:52.940He's now, you know, we're in election season.
00:26:14.840I can improve on that and I can I can further this in a way that Donald Trump can't.
00:26:18.340That's what he has to do, I think, to actually win this primary.
00:26:20.620A couple of things about the details on the report of this tape of him prepping.
00:26:26.360They say during one session, an advisor suggests that DeSantis should immediately, when he gets to the podium on the debate stage, write the word likeable in all caps on the top of his notepad.
00:26:39.000They say this is because they believe both DeSantis and Gillum were, quote, aggressive and they didn't want DeSantis to appear condescending.
00:26:46.620Now, this is interesting to me because this definitely is, I think, a problem for DeSantis when you look at his candidacy.
00:26:53.060And we could go down the list of the Trump problems, as we have for several years now.
00:27:10.100And to me, it reminds me of there was a Fox News young personality, which I'll go nameless for the purposes of this discussion, who used to write.
00:27:20.900She used to write on that like a little note to herself right underneath the camera.
00:27:53.900I mean, the fact of the matter is, in order to become president of the United States, you have to kind of jump through the TV in a way that's compelling and meaningful.
00:28:02.420And that's, you know, it doesn't matter who you talk about.
00:28:04.580Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Trump.
00:28:49.320It's I don't think he's got that in him.
00:28:52.400They are saying ABC News is reporting that he, DeSantis, and his team have already quietly begun debate prep for the upcoming GOP primary, saying that his team has been paying close attention to his facial expressions.
00:29:06.080This makes sense because, you know, he he had that weird thing in Japan where he did the like the head bobble thing.
00:29:13.580Like, I don't know if that's involuntary or what, but they're working with him on that.
00:29:18.300And they also report that he is now likely to skip announcing an exploratory committee and instead expected to launch a full campaign next month.
00:29:36.620In fact, has there ever been a candidate who's decided to explore and then the result of their exploration was, no, I'm not going to run for president?
00:29:44.040I mean, that just doesn't even happen, right?
00:29:45.760Like, you know, it's a it's really more of a you can raise money maybe a little bit that way, test the waters.
00:29:53.560But generally speaking, a guy like DeSantis is already one of the top two candidates in this race.
00:30:22.520He's somebody that people obviously the media says what they say, but people generally like him.
00:30:28.800Yes, he does things that they don't like, but his actual persona when you're talking to him one on one is something that people generally enjoy.
00:37:49.900Andy McCarthy's got a piece up over at National Review saying don't believe the hype like the Democrats want Republicans to believe that Trump can win.
00:37:57.520They they want Republicans to believe that because they're they don't believe it.
00:38:01.740They don't think the ladies in the suburbs will actually pull the lever for him, Dave.
00:38:05.680So they want the right to get excited about polls like this.
00:38:09.900Yeah, look, I mean, we've we've seen this dance before.
00:38:13.080Right. I mean, we all lived through 2016 and there was absolutely no chance that Donald Trump could win.
00:38:17.980I mean, what did the New York Times put his chances like six, seven percent, something like that.
00:38:21.460And then lo and behold, there's tears in Brooklyn.
00:38:23.200So, of course, of course, Donald Trump can win this race.
00:38:28.280And frankly, I think that for those people who support DeSantis, electability is just a bad argument.
00:38:34.560Voters don't care about electability in large part because voters tend to assume that if they like a candidate, other people do as well.
00:38:41.920And when you look at polling specifically on electability, Trump voters think he can win.
00:38:50.040And I think that if you try to say to Republican voters, you know, really hold them hostage and say, well, if you don't support DeSantis, Trump has has no way of winning.
00:39:19.840I'm not exactly sure what this reparations push is about.
00:39:22.300But at the city level, we've seen it in San Francisco.
00:39:24.760I think they were recommending five million dollars per person who just identified as black for 10 years and maybe had one other criteria they could, you know, box they could check.
00:39:33.980And now the state is making a similar recommendation for reparations, which is, I think, one point two million dollars to every qualifying black resident, along with a formal apology.
00:39:47.400So, I mean, that's I guess Oprah is going to get one point two million dollars and a formal apology.
00:39:54.640And Meghan Markle, they live in California.
00:39:56.600They're going to they're she's going to get a formal apology and a one point two million dollar check from what?
00:40:02.020Like the guy who drives the bus in like Oakland that he's got a because he's white.
00:40:07.280He's got to pay Oprah a one point two.
00:40:09.360Like, how's it going to work exactly still?
00:40:11.120Because I'm thinking this has the potential to be actually really divisive.
00:40:15.920Well, I'll tell you how it's going to work.
00:40:17.140I now identify as African-American and I would love please, please send me all of your money.
00:40:24.520You know, part of this, of course, I think, is the political playing to your base type of stuff we've seen forever.
00:40:31.080But this is turning into a real movement.
00:40:33.860And I honestly think these numbers are so high, it almost hurts them.
00:40:37.240I would be much more scared of this if they were giving ten thousand dollars away or twenty thousand dollars away, a number that was rational, that they could ramp up over time.
00:40:47.220It wouldn't seem like it was that much.
00:40:49.120I mean, I think you're talking about hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars here.
00:41:24.620And the fact that, you know, I'm not responsible if I had a great, great grandparent who killed somebody, who stole from somebody, who committed some terrible crime.
00:41:32.340The fact that now I'm going to be held responsible to fund multiple generations away from someone who I don't even think I have anybody in my family who did this.
00:42:12.500And I'm not cutting a check to anybody.
00:42:14.040I mean, if the Californians want to eat their own, go for it.
00:42:16.620I don't really care if they want to vote for that.
00:42:19.120That's maybe they can reconsider their leaders.
00:42:21.240But the thing is, Dave, no matter how much they cut these checks for, it's never going to stop the incessant complaints of racism from the woke race hustlers.
00:42:31.040Even when they came to this conclusion, you had the people standing up saying 1.2 million per person who's black is an outrage.
00:42:41.760The equivocal number from the 1860s for 40 acres today is $200 million for each and every African-American.
00:43:01.360If you are running for office, do not think you are going to win your election if you don't have a concrete plan for reparations.
00:43:09.020Biden, do not seek a second term unless it's accompanied by an executive order for reparations for descendants of American chattel slavery.
00:43:17.160We cannot forget or ignore the fact that we stole people from their native land.
00:43:21.600White America has turned a blind eye to this and say they should get over it.
00:43:26.080On behalf of myself, my family and my ancestors, I want to publicly apologize.
00:43:57.480I was I was tweeting about this the other day and there's there's Gallup polling that goes back to 2001 and shows where Americans thought race relations were from that point until now.
00:44:09.900In 2001, 70 percent of black Americans said that race relations were either very or somewhat good.
00:44:32.020You look at these these sort of word searches from The New York Times where the word racism, the you know, the words like wokeness, words like white privilege just spike.
00:44:42.160And it's really a shame because this is not what things were like 20, 25 years ago.
00:44:48.860And I don't know that it's I don't know that it's very clear right now how we how we get back.
00:44:53.800Hmm. I I actually do think that all of this has a very high chance of backfiring on the left.
00:45:00.740I was just talking to my dear friend this morning, Stu, and she was a lefty.
00:45:06.140Now she's a registered Republican thanks to the covid insanity.
00:45:10.460She has some kids and her one son was a committed lefty.
00:45:25.060He's he's on the right now, too, because at his super woke left wing New York school, they're shoving this stuff down his throat, the race stuff, the gender stuff.
00:45:39.760He sees that, you know, kids who've got two black parents who are investment bankers are getting a leg up on the two white kids who are there on scholarship whose parents are blue collar workers.
00:45:50.700Right. It doesn't matter to that school.
00:45:52.760One's oppressed. One's not all based on skin color.
00:45:55.240So I actually think like this next generation generation has a shot of seeing how wrong this is because they're being forced to live it firsthand.
00:46:05.240Yeah, I think you're totally right on that.
00:46:06.980I think there's an actual chance here, and it's only because they're so insane, right?
00:46:10.280Like if they were actually being mildly sane, I don't know what we would do.
00:46:14.040But they've gone so far so fast with the transgender issue and the CRT issue and all these things.
00:46:20.080I mean, I think there's a uniting principle for most people never make a decision of any sort based on skin color.
00:47:09.080And I just don't think the American people connect with that.
00:47:12.800If they do connect with it, we are already lost.
00:47:15.640Yeah, I saw your tweet, Dave, that you wrote, I don't think people under 40 understand that there was actually a time, albeit short-lived, when basically everyone stopped caring about race.
00:47:58.600All right, we'll be right back with Darren O'Lean, and you're going to want to hear this.
00:48:04.900There are many, many things in modern life that make our lives easier.
00:48:09.120From technology to personal care products for every need.
00:48:12.580Well, our next guest is here to share with us why we need to pay a lot closer attention to those conveniences and how they are impacting our health.
00:48:21.020Darren O'Lean is a superfood hunter and co-host of the Netflix docuseries, Down to Earth with Zac Efron.
00:48:28.560He is author of the new book, Fatal Conveniences, the toxic products and harmful habits that are making you sick and the simple changes that will save your health, which is out next week, but available for pre-order now, Fatal Conveniences.
00:48:52.620I basically have concluded from your book that I need to throw everything out of my entire medicine cabinet and my makeup drawer as well.
00:49:02.720I should be dead before the end of the program based on the number of things I am putting on my body that are toxic.
00:49:08.520You know, it's so funny because you take these measures, right?
00:49:11.680You're like, oh, don't use the plastic food containers, use the glass and, you know, don't have this kind of carpet, have that kind and whatever, like try to go organic on your cleaning supplies.
00:49:21.980And then you realize you are swimming in a toxic stew all over your body before you ever get to any of those.
00:49:29.580And you're trying to sound the alarm on this.
00:49:31.400So let's just start on whether we should be hopeful right now or we should be scared right now.
00:49:35.940100% hopeful because we have the numbers on our side because having these conversations, you and I and your listeners who want to be better and want to do better, that once you become aware of something, then you can actually take action and then change as possible.
00:49:56.500So there's 8 billion people on the planet.
00:49:59.920So I'm incredibly hopeful that once you face things, you can actually change things.
00:50:07.240And I'm bummed that I had to write this kind of book in this day and age.
00:50:13.720I'm bummed that our regulatory bodies, you know, aren't doing an adequate job.
00:50:19.540There's good people in those organizations, but but, you know, it's time to just not wane around for somebody and and and kind of do it ourselves.
00:50:29.160Right. And they don't make it very easy.
00:50:31.320You know, it's like you figure out something's bad.
00:50:33.500Like there was news right before Easter about was it Red Dine number 40?
00:50:38.340One of those that was appearing in the pink and the purple peeps.
00:50:42.840They were like, don't let your kids have those pink and purple peeps, but they could potentially have a lot of peas in the yellow peeps.
00:50:49.940It was like, what if I didn't just happen to see this article while scrolling one day, my kids would have been downing all the pink and purple peeps.
00:51:22.500Why would we be allowing an ingredient in a very common child's food and candy and drink that's contributing to the very thing that we want to medicate them on and for?
00:51:35.080So it's just, you know, again, I look at all of this as foundational stuff that we may not know we're being hijacked and and and affected.
00:51:46.180And so if we aware of that and minimize, you know, listen, like, of course, you can go into the overwhelm of I've got got to get rid of all of this stuff.
00:51:56.820But you kind of you have to take it just with life and life is you become aware and you take one thing at a time and you keep kind of getting better.
00:52:07.280I think that's that's the credo of living a great life.
00:52:10.180So you don't have to get go crazy and throw everything away.
00:52:13.600You know, I'm kind of an extremist, too, but I would probably do that.
00:52:18.020But but then it's overwhelming to try to figure out what you know, what are the safe products?
00:52:25.180And and that's why a fourth of my book or a third of my book was all based in solutions.
00:52:30.300So people don't have to, you know, freak out too much about it.
00:52:34.340So let give us an overview of what what are fatal conveniences.
00:52:38.800Yeah, well, you know, these are these are things that are lurking in our everyday life that we're doing that that unfortunately, the bodies that be aren't necessarily protecting us.
00:52:53.180It could be deodorants with aluminum salts in there that's contributing to breast cancer and, you know, dysbiosis of our immune system.
00:53:06.280It could be the clothing that we're wearing, the electromagnetic fields putting up to your head.
00:53:13.900Many of these things is the PFAS that's lurking into the to the non wrinkled, beautiful shirt that you just bought.
00:53:22.480You don't have to wrinkle when you travel or, you know, the the the slippery packaging around food that the food doesn't stick to.
00:53:32.260All of these things are been created in the lab and they they expose themselves not only to us, but to the food we eat, to the drink we have, even even the fatal convenience is water.
00:53:46.040Right. So it's amazing, like that we can be 330 million strong in the US and all the in, you know, you know, side note, 2.2 billion people on the planet don't have water and don't even largely understand that there's clean water.
00:54:02.220But that said, many of us have a tap, but we're being exposed to things that that we we've done the very bare minimum in terms of the the water treatment plants.
00:54:17.000We're not dying of typhoid or dysentery or diphtheria, you know, so we're not acutely dropping dead from these things.
00:54:28.180But over time, our one of our biggest exposure of PFOS and that's a per or pro floral alkalized substances.
00:54:37.460It's a forever chemical. It's it's everywhere.
00:54:42.480And that's we're getting exposed via water.
00:54:45.540So if we're not filtering properly, this is a massive fatal convenience.
00:54:50.060So so these fatal conveniences are things that we're not even spending time on because I just buy the laundry detergent.
00:54:58.540I just buy my moisturizer. I like the smell of my shampoo.
00:55:04.000I like the shirt. And on the one hand, you think, hey, you know, how harmful is all that?
00:55:10.820And it seems as though that this exposure doesn't really persist.
00:55:17.840It's pervasive, not in our homes, on our on our bodies, what we consume.
00:55:25.200And and and added up over time, it it poses some some big risk.
00:55:33.080I'll tell you two examples I had in my own life just thinking about this segment over the past few days.
00:55:38.140I was downstairs and I was working out in my house and I thought I should get like a case of bottled water down here, you know,
00:55:45.520so I don't have to keep hiking up to the gym. I should just keep like a and then I'm like.
00:55:49.720I don't I probably shouldn't just get a case of bottled water, the plastic water balls.
00:55:54.300I know they're now saying that that's not great. Don't drink out of those.
00:55:57.220I'm like, what do I get the alternative out there? You could get that, you know, boxed water.
00:56:01.480That's more like in a paper type container. But then I looked online that had a lot of negative comments.
00:56:07.240Then how about the aluminum cans with water? Well, how is aluminum good? That can't be good.
00:56:11.540And I'm like, well, I'll go to my tap water. Well, I don't know.
00:56:13.840I have concerns about the tap water for the very reasons you said.
00:56:16.840So right now I'm just thirsty. It's probably not the solution, Darren.
00:56:22.700So I would love to give you a comment on the water. But then let me just give you another one quickly.
00:56:26.600I went for my teeth cleaning the other day and at the end it was a normal teeth cleaning.
00:56:31.660But at the end, the lady put fluoride all over my teeth without I did not know she was going to do this.
00:56:37.300She like shoved it all over. By the way, it was disgusting.
00:56:39.960It felt like having like paste on your teeth. And she said, keep it on for at least an hour if you can and then brush it out.
00:56:46.380It was like caked in there. When I flossed my teeth, you had like big chunks of paste.
00:56:50.860I don't recommend it. But then I'm reading in your book like fluoride danger, danger.
00:56:55.480You probably definitely don't want to be sucking on it for an hour like I was.
00:56:58.760So that's just two examples that's in everybody's lives.
00:57:01.720So what are your thoughts on those two things?
00:57:04.220Yeah, water is a big one. And like you said, so I have an easy solution for you.
00:57:08.980So buy a reverse osmosis water filter for your home and that pushes through a membrane which doesn't allow those small particulates and compounds to get through.
00:57:21.820Now you've cleaned your water. You can add a pinch of unrefined electrolytes or salts back to it.
00:57:29.940No problem. And now buy a bunch of glass bottles, put that down there, fill them up, put them in your workout studio.
00:57:38.100So everyone's got their own. The kids got theirs. The husband, the you, everyone's got your own glass bottles.
00:57:46.800Boom, done. No more plastic and you have clean, good water.
00:57:50.680So and that that's for everybody. So these things are expensive.
00:57:54.900These things are their reverse osmosis unit is a couple hundred bucks.
00:57:59.940And the savings you get. So let's look at the savings.
00:58:03.760The savings is, of course, there's a money savings because you're not buying plastic.
00:58:09.500You're not buying water that's surrounded by plastics that's chelating without a doubt.
00:58:28.360So it's adding to endocrine disruption, binding estrogen in your body.
00:58:35.780So your body perceives there's more estrogen than what's actually natural, which creates a whole cascade.
00:58:42.380The whole endocrine system works on minute changes.
00:58:48.400And so when you introduce any chemical exposure that's mimicking that, it has a has a downstream effect that's really bad.
00:58:55.480And then that's a whole nother discussion of leading to things like endometriosis, having periods earlier than necessary menopause, having disruptions and menopause either earlier or more painful endometriosis, men's sperm counts plummeting.
00:59:13.920So, so, so, and then think about, I, I, I looked at this really interestingly and it just kind of dawned on me that, you know, we are a micro organism.
00:59:25.600So if I'm exposing myself to there's pesticides, there's herbicides, they act as kind of antibiotics in our good microflora.
00:59:35.740So that's a whole nother thing, glyphosate, rips, creates a lot of digestive disorders and things like that.
00:59:44.740So now, now with that one water tweak, you've cleaned up your water, you've lessened this exposure.
00:59:51.360And I think of all of this stuff, Megan, is going from the inside out.
01:00:46.400Um, so, you know, there was some studies way back in the day, a few dental researchers, uh, was discovering fluoride and they realized, yeah, there is some cap potential cavity, uh, support there.
01:01:02.620But, but, but what, what, what they didn't take into account is naturally occurring fluoride, uh, or really it's called, it's fluorine.
01:01:12.480Um, they, they, they saw that in the dust bowl, that when the dust off of the, uh, central United States blew over it, landed up in this one kind of town and they had mineral rich soil and they had a lot of these naturally occurring minerals as well as fluorine.
01:01:33.900So there was these researchers on the one hand, this other kind of anecdotal research that they started to research and see that it was good for the teeth.
01:01:43.140And then they adopted and the thing that they take a left turn and every, every fatal convenience, Megan is a left turn.
01:01:50.880You're saying, okay, there's some evidence.
01:02:26.600And then the research was alarming because it's absolutely connected in children to lower the studies in my book, lowering IQ with that exposure.
01:02:37.340So, so it really was showing as a neurotoxic compound.
01:02:42.340And so, you know, in our water, in our toothpastes, uh, promoting it to kids, uh, is just, what should we be doing with?
01:02:51.400I mean, should we be using toothpaste?
01:02:53.020Should we be getting like the whole foods toothpaste, which doesn't have fluoride in it?
01:17:14.720Cause I know there's a chapter on red meat, poultry, those kinds of, uh, protein sources.
01:17:20.720I, for me personally, I've kind of like, um, I've eliminated the middleman and the middleman of, of needing to get, uh, uh, protein or amino acids from, from the flesh of, uh, of another animal.
01:17:37.200I just don't need so, you know, better part of 20 years running around the globe, looking at nutrient dense food.
01:17:43.840I was like, well, why would I need to kill anything in order to, to eat it?
01:17:47.700So my point of view is you don't need it.
01:17:50.120Um, however, in the book, I did say, if you, if you must, I have many suggestions of, of complete proteins and everything else.
01:18:01.920Um, but I do have suggestions for people to find better versions of, of conventional grown meat and poultry and eggs and all of that stuff.
01:18:12.640Cause there's, there's some massive, massive dangers to that, that whole conventional growing process for sure.
