The agrochemical companies have their tentacles so freaking deep in our government
that it does not matter if a Democrat or a Republican is in office.
We should in all be having to live in a world where we have to be so incredibly mindful,
but everything we put in our bodies, we should just be able to go to the grocery store
and buy food that's not poisoned.
These chemicals are showing up in over 80% of Americans urine.
We're finding glyphosate and these other farming chemicals in human breast milk,
in babies placentas, in our blood, in our rainwater, in our drinking water, on our food,
in men's balls.
Oh yeah, we're finding them everywhere.
Hello friends, welcome back to another episode of the Real Food Algae Podcast.
Today I am joined by my husband Hector and we have a really awesome, super important
episode for you.
We were recording and asking anything and Hector asked me about what's happening with glyphosate,
the executive order that Trump signed, what is happening with the rally in April in Washington,
D.C., stay tuned and listen to find out all the details and where you can find us.
Also check out the show notes too, we didn't say this and ask me anything, but check out
the show notes.
There's a website that we have that people versus the poison where you can actually sign up
and let us know RSVP that you're going to be there because we just kind of want to understand
how many people are actually showing up.
We would love your support, we would love for you to come.
The more people that are there, the bigger splash we can make with the media and maybe
actually have an opportunity to reverse this horrific executive order that's happening
right now and also the Supreme Court case that's happening.
I just believe in power to the people, power to the numbers.
This is an episode all about everything going on right now with glyphosate.
What is going on?
D.F. is going on with Trump in this executive order, my thoughts on it and we just have
a really awesome conversation around it.
Please join us, check out the link, make sure the RSVP, the more people the better, bring
your parents, bring your kiddos, it's going to be a kid-friendly rally and it's going to
be a fun time.
We'll see you in D.C.
I'm going to be doing a speech.
I'm also going to be waiting.
Hector, I haven't told you this.
I did the math.
The rally is happening basically like the last week that I'm allowed to fly.
Really?
We are really cutting it close here with this pregnancy.
It's fine.
I don't say that to scare you.
We'll be fine.
I know we're good.
But we're just really, we're really cutting it close there and I think I'm giving a speech.
I just need to make sure that I'm going to be so pregnant.
I mean, we're going to be seven, seven months pregnant, right?
Yeah, I'm going to be like three or weeks, I think.
Yeah, 33 weeks, something like that.
But I will be there hopefully giving a speech and I hope to see you there.
Check out the show notes, make sure to RSVP.
Also if you're loving the episode, if you will tag me, post about it, post about the
rally on your Instagram, we need to get as many people there as possible.
We the people versus the agrochemical companies.
We got this.
It's a bipartisan too.
So love you all.
Thanks for listening.
And if you take a moment to rate and read the podcast, it means so much and it really helps
the show.
Thank you guys.
Love you.
So you have a rally coming up, right, April 27th and DC.
What is going on there?
Can you tell me a little bit more information about what the rally is about, what you guys
are protesting, what's happening?
Yeah, so like two years ago, we did a rally in Battlefield, Michigan for Kellogg's to
remove their food dyes.
And we got an amazing response from that.
We got media coverage.
We had over a thousand people show up.
We had 400,000 signatures for that.
And I believe and the people that I'm planning this with all believe that this is going to
be so much bigger and it should be because this is a much bigger issue that we're fighting
right now.
The food dyes in the food, which the food I should have never been in there in the first
place, but glyphosate is a whole other beast.
So what is happening is on April 27th, so why that date, the Supreme Court has decided
to take up the case with Monsanto Bayer.
Monsanto was bought out by Bayer a couple of years ago, so it's technically Bayer and
they are the largest producers of a glyphosate.
They are the producers of a glyphosate based herbicide called Roundup that's being sprayed
non-linear lawns, but also it's being sprayed heavily on our crops.
And it's ending up in our rainwater, it's ending up in our drinking water, it's ending
up on all of our farmland, it's destroying the soil and hence it's destroying the nutrient
density in our food because we are destroying the amazing ecosystem that lives in the soil.
It's actually creating the vitamins, minerals and nutrients that our produce needs in
order to create vitamins, minerals and nutrients for us.
It's a really big problem.
We do know that glyphosate causes cancer, the World Health Organization, named it a
probable human carcinogen back in 2015.
And that means that back then we knew that it was probably most likely causing cancer
and they said probable human carcinogen just simply because at the time they didn't have
the full data to say that they fully believe it is, but probable means that they're like,
we're pretty positive that this causes cancer.
Since then Bayer bought Monsanto in 2018 and has since been absolutely pummeled with
litigations from farmers and everyday Americans that have claimed that they have gotten cancer
from using their product and they have paid over $10 billion now to people that have gotten
cancer and now this is really important to note. They have spent over $10 billion paying these
people out because in the court of law, they have found that there was evidence that these people
got cancer from glyphosate. So that's incredibly important. In the court of law, they have found
that these people are getting cancer from glyphosate and a lot of them are farmers because a lot
of them are using glyphosate on their crops and so that's how they're getting exposed to it.
But the problem is is that over 80% of Americans are now finding glyphosate in their urine.
I'm incredibly mindful of the food that I put in my body and what I eat and how I eat in my diet
and I eat all organic and if I have glyphosate in my body, it makes me incredibly concerned for
all the people that are not as mindful and aren't paying attention to their diets. And I
don't say that with judgment. I say that with compassion that we shouldn't all be having to live
in a world where we have to be so incredibly mindful but everything we put in our bodies,
we should just be able to go to the grocery store and buy food that's not poisoned.
And so we are meeting to have this rally because the Supreme Court has decided to take up this
case with Monsanto Bayer. I know I kind of went on a tangent there but it's important to know
all this information because what's happening right now is because Bayer has spent over 10
billion dollars paying out people that have gotten cancer from their products. Instead of changing
their formulation or getting rid of this hero product theirs, it makes them a lot of money.
They have now decided to go to daddy government, to the federal government and ask for immunity.
Protection, of course. Yeah. So instead of taking accountability and going,
huh, maybe we should maybe we're the problem. Maybe we're the problem. Nope.
They are begging the federal government for immunity. You may remember that there is the
very famous immunity shield, the 1986 vaccine immunity shield that was passed to protect
vaccine companies from any sort of liability. So if you or your child gets harmed from a vaccine,
you actually can't hold the company liable. You can't sue them. And this is not about getting,
well, it is about getting justice and money. But more so than that, when you take a company's
liability away, you take away the business protections that we have in place for every single
company that exists on this planet that holds them accountable in order. It holds them accountable
for creating healthy, safe products. That's what the problem is. Is that now if they have an
immunity shield, it actually goes through which the Supreme Court has decided to take up the case
and see Monsanto Bayer. It's Bayer again, but we just keep calling the Monsanto Bayer because Bayer
bought Monsanto. But if and it's our concern is that now that the Supreme Court is taking up this
case, the judge that is on this case, very notorious with big agrochemical companies,
the lawyer that they have for Bayer is also a very well-known litigator that wins a lot of
these cases. And we're pretty positive that they're probably the government's probably going to
decide with Monsanto Bayer. So we are, I mean, it's a really, I really just, I don't understand.
It's incomprehensible. Well, let's talk about what the agrochemical companies are
claiming that a lot of people are falling for. So Monsanto Bayer, I'm going to outline all this
for you. It's also beautifully outlined in the film Common Ground. I highly recommend watching
that. It's on Amazon Prime. Okay, so they are a large agrochemical company that create a lot
of agrochemical products for our farming. Now, about 90% of our farmers rely on these chemicals
in order to grow our food, which is a really big problem. This is not a problem that we can fix
overnight. I've seen several people come out in defense of Trump's executive order saying that
if we pulled glyphosate out tomorrow, it would cause a national food security crisis. They're not
wrong. They're not wrong. Some are real quick. So how do they rely on it? Is it because their crops
are so big, they need them to spray on their entire life cycle for them to grow efficiently?
Because Monsanto Bayer and a lot of these otherygenta, Kim China, they're all paying grants to the agrochemical
or sorry, to the agro universities. So they're paying grants to these universities in order to sway
the curriculum that these farmers are taught in school. And by the way, I want to be very, very clear
here. This is not, I'm criticizing the system. I am not criticizing the farmers. I love farmers.
Of course. Love farmers. Of course. I'm in support of farmers. I'm on your side. I'm criticizing
the system. I just want to be very, very clear because I'm not criticizing the farmers here. But
what happens when they go to these agro universities, they're getting taught a curriculum that is
largely bought and paid for by these agrochemical companies. And so these farmers leave the
universities thinking that the only way, the only option that they have for farming is using
these chemical inputs. Now, what we've learned in various studies, there's one, there's the Rodal
Institute where they have done a side-by-side 40-year study where they do organic farming next to
conventional farming. They found that organic farming actually produces the same amount of food.
It produces the same amount of yield as the conventional farming does, which completely goes against
what these farmers are being taught in school by the agrochemical companies. Because the
agrochemical companies are telling them, they're telling the farmers that if you want to be able to
grow enough crops and have enough yield in order to feed enough people and also be able to afford it,
you have to have these chemical inputs. Now, I'm not saying that it's easy to farm without these
chemicals. It is hard. Pests are a big problem. And it's why a lot of these farmers rely really
heavily on things like glyphosate because they get rid of the weeds. So they're herbicides. So
they get rid of the weeds, herbs. And then they use fungicides to get rid of a lot of the fungus.
And then they use pesticides to get rid of the bugs and the pests, which I'm not saying are not a
problem. And then it's really, really easy to do it organically. But we have a lot of evidence showing
in common ground, also in the film Kiss the Ground, that there's another way to do this. So we can
actually farm regeneratively. And what happens is not only is it creating about the same amount of yield
as conventional, it's also setting us up for a lifetime of being able to actually have plantable
healthy soil. Part of the problem that we're dealing with right now, I mentioned the nutrient
density earlier. When we're spraying these chemical inputs on the land, it's killing the good
healthy soil. It's killing the really amazing ecosystem that lives in the soil. Think about our guts.
And we have a microbiome that drives our immune system. It drives our overall health. It does so
much for our bodies. This ecosystem that we have living in our bodies of good and bad bacteria
that live in this synergistic environment together that really run our health.
The soil has a very similar situation where it has this ecosystem of bugs that lives in there
that creates the food that our plants then eat. And that's what gives our plants, vitamins, minerals
and nutrients. But when we're killing off that ecosystem in the soil with all of these harsh chemicals,
we're destroying the ecosystem in the soil. And we're making this soil unplantable.
If you know me or have been listening to the show for a while, you know that I'm really
mindful about what I bring into my home, especially when it comes to products that we use every
single day. One of those is cleaning products. And conventional cleaning products can actually be
some of the most toxic things in the house. This is why I switched to branch basics around probably,
it's probably been about 10 years now. And honestly, it's become a permanent part of my cleaning
routine. I love that their products are plant and mineral based. They're fragrance free. And they're
also made safe certified. So I feel really good about using them around my home, especially with
my dogs, and especially now that I'm going to have a new baby around. One thing that really surprised me
is how simple it is. Everything is built around their concentrate, which you dilute for basically
everything. Kitchen counters, bathrooms, laundry, floors, even produce. I've been using it constantly
and it's replaced so many different cleaners under my sink. It's just such a better feeling knowing
that I'm cleaning my home without bringing a bunch of mystery chemicals into it. And here's
the good news. Branch basics is now available everywhere you shop, target target dot com Amazon. And
of course branch basics dot com tossing the toxins has never been more convenient. And for anyone
grabbing the premium starter kit, you can get 15% off at branch basics dot com with our code
real foodology. Just use code real foodology for 15% off the premium starter kit at branch basics dot
com. Again, that's 15% off the premium starter kit at branch basics dot com with code real
foodology. And after you purchase, when they ask where you heard about them, make sure you
mention to my show. So what's incredibly concerning is that we're creating all this dead soil that
were no longer going to be able to plant in. And so and then we have these agrochemical companies
saying, well, this is the only way that we're going to be able to feed the world. Actually,
if you look at it from a long term lens, there's a lot of ecologists that are theorizing now,
not theorizing. They are not theorizing. What's the word? What's the word? I don't have the word
for it, but they're essentially they're saying that we have about, God, it's got to be about 45
harvest left now, meaning that if we continue down this path, we're just continuing to kill our soil.
And it's dead. It's becoming dead. Then they're having to move to other places to plant because
you can no longer plant in this soil. And if we keep doing that, we're going to run out of soil
that's habitable and they can create living life in it because we're killing it all. And they're
saying we have about 45 years left if we keep going down this path. So not only are we making
the soil unlivable for plants to grow in, it's also decreasing the nutrient density of the soil
for the plant. So they're not getting the food that they need. And then what are we seeing in the
news all the time? We're talking about how our vegetables that we buy at the grocery store have,
I don't know the exact stats, but let's say a third of the nutrients of what our grandparents
ate and the vegetables that they were getting back then because they weren't spraying their soil
soil, like they are now. So we have created a generation of farmers that are completely dependent
on these fertilizers, pesticides. They've also, it's very expensive to farm. They buy these
really expensive machines that are over a million dollars that they use to spray with all the
pesticides. So then they're in debt. A lot of them get loans out with the federal government in
order to forward all of the farming machinery that they need. A lot of them are in debt with
Monsanto Bayers. I got to remember back in 2018, so many farmers coming out actually against this
because they felt like they were essentially on welfare with these large agrochemical companies
because they would in order to plant their genetically modified seeds. So the corn, the wheat
that we see a lot in our, sorry, not the wheat, sorry, the corn and the soy that we're seeing in a
lot of our ultra processed foods. In order to grow those, they have to have a contract with
like Monsanto Bayers, for example, because they create the GMO patent seed. And what we were
finding is these conventional farmers that have this contract, they would plant these seeds,
and then the seeds would blow over to an organic farm, and then Monsanto would come in and they
would sue the organic farm because they'd say you have our patent seed, you have our product,
you give us money. And so they're also taking out the good guys. I'm not pitting farmers against
each other, but just like taking out the farmers that were genuinely trying to do better by our health,
by creating organic food. So these agrochemical companies are these giant monolith companies that
have so much money. If you think big pharma is scary and intimidating and has all this money and
power, the agriculture companies probably have equal or greater than power and think about it from
us. So they own, they own the education, they own the school curriculum, they own the product,
they own the farmers, they own the farmers, they own the politicians defending them.
Wow. Well, think about it like this. So big pharma has done a great job of convincing most of us
that we cannot live without pharmaceuticals and most people are on average a couple pharmaceutical
drugs each. But think about food. Humans can't live or survive without food. Every single one of us,
it is we have to rely on our food system. That alone is such a large money maker when they have
a corner of the market. They own these agrochemical companies own a large majority of our food system
through these seeds and through the chemicals that they're spraying on our food because of how
ubiquitous they have intertwined themselves in creating this whole system that is relying on them.
Wow, this bullshit. It is a major bullshit. Okay, that's wild and then they cause cancer to
these farmers and then don't they own the solution to the problem that they've caused as well? Don't
they own cancer drugs? So Bayer bought Monsanto like I said in 2018, Bayer before that was just known as a
I don't know if you'd call them a farm, I guess it would be a pharmaceutical company but you know,
they're well known for like their aspirin, for example, it's a German company. They bought out
Monsanto in 2018 and so bought their whole agrochemical business and so now Bayer is in the medicine
and the agrochemical business, meaning that when a farmer gets cancer from using their products
like glyphosate and they get cancer and then they get put on chemo, guess who creates the chemo
drugs too, Bayer. So it is a full circle. You create the problem and then you sell the solution.
Create the problem, sell them the solution. It's a great business model. Yeah, I mean, it's brilliant
on their part. We are the ones that get fucked. They're the best. God, have these people. That's
insane and it's just all very confusing too because that executive order I was really confused about.
Let me be very clear. I'm not a fan of this executive order. In fact, I was incredibly pissed
and I feel yeah, I just I feel very line-sided by this. The reason why people are coming out and
saying and why Trump did this executive order is because it is true that if we were to pull glyphosate
out tomorrow, we would actually we would have a national security food crisis on our hands because
so many farmers depend on glyphosate. So this is not something that we could pull out tomorrow
and the reason that Trump signed that executive order is because his thinking is one that if we
get rid of the glyphosate, we're going to have a national food crisis on our hands. And then also
we get a lot of these chemicals from China, which could be considered an active bioterrorism.
If you think about it, I mean, they're poisoning the people and they're poisoning them at the very
source. 100%. So his executive order from what I understand is also making it to where they are
promising that they're going to create more of these chemicals in America. All of this is
bullshit, by the way, and I do not support it in any way. What he is saying is true and those are
all facts. However, however, what we should be doing and that we're not doing is we should be
also creating an off ramp to get our farmers off these chemicals so that they're not so dependent
on the chemicals. Yeah, we cannot do this tomorrow. We wouldn't be able to pull the rug out from
under them. But what we need to be doing is we need to start funding regenerative farming
education in school so that farmers come out of school knowing how to do it. We need to give
them resources. We need to give them money to get them off the chemicals so they're not dependent
on these chemicals. So they start farming regeneratively, start putting money and resources and
education into the farmers to teach them how to do it another way and start moving our whole system
over to another system that's not so dependent on chemicals. And if there was a promise that there
was an executive order where that was put in place and said like, okay, we recognize we can't get
them off the chemicals tomorrow. Yes, that's true. And we're also adding money into all this to get
these farmers that to be not so dependent on these chemicals. That would be the perfect solution.
But just riding this executive order and then just saying we need the chemicals or dependent on them.
Sorry, there's no other solution is bullshit. And all it's doing is creating a protection for
the agrochemical companies. Yeah, it's also creating mass confusion in chaos for us, the consumers
and supporters of Maha as well. Yeah, it's incredibly confusing and it feels I know a lot of people,
it'll be really interesting to see what happens in midterms because a lot of people feel very
snubbed by this and this is a big deal. It's a huge deal. This is probably the biggest deal that we
that we have when it comes to Maha in the health of our country because this is these
source. Like I said earlier, Americans have to eat every single day. It is a non-negotiable. We
can't get around it. This isn't something that we can avoid. And if it's happening on such a
level with our food, we can only avoid it so much. You can only buy and afford so much organic
and it's even showing up in the organic food because it's so ubiquitous. It's crazy. They also
have a so hooked on their product that if we stop using the product, we will all die from starvation.
I know. We've created crisis. Does China spray with their own products on their farming?
They do. I know that they use glyphosate, but this is a great question actually. So
periquot and I believe it's die-quot too. Let me just double check so I get this correct.
Our band in China, but him China sells them to us and we use them on our farmland here.
Classic. That is bananas. So it is it's a form of biotericism. Yep. So China banned the
sale and use of periquot in 2017. And periquot is another one that's incredibly concerning.
It's up there with glyphosate. And let me see and I believe. Same companies. I believe
die-quot is also banned in China and we use that a lot too. Oh, I'm sorry. I stand corrected.
So die-quot is not banned in China, but periquot is. Okay. But periquot is similar to glyphosate
where it's wreaking havoc on our hormones, causing infertility, it's causing cancer,
and it's created by by Kim China and they sell it to us and we spray it on our food here.
Oh, boy. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I'm laughing because what else can you do? I mean, it's just
what's a really important rally on April 27th at 9 a.m. 9 a.m. Tell your boss, just, hey, I'm
going to go, I'm going to go protest against these evil corporations. Yeah. They will understand.
They will they will let you leave work to go protest. I guarantee it. Well, I hope so. Or maybe
just take a day off. A sick day. Yeah. Yeah. Take a sick day. I'm sick from the glyphosate and I
will take a day off and then your boss sees you at the rally in photos. Oops. Yeah. No. This is
going to be incredibly important. The more support we can get out there, the better.
The Kellogg's rally, part of the reason why I got so much media attention is because we had over
a thousand people show up and we are hoping for tens of thousands of people to show. That would be
awesome. That would be great. At that point, the media can't ignore us. And this is part of the
problem too is the media is largely ignoring this conversation. They're talking about it a little
bit, but you know, these companies fund these networks too. And so there's only so much of their
bosses allow them to say, but the louder that we get, the less that they can actually ignore us. Exactly.

I mean, when it was probably like a couple of weeks ago it was all over social media,
it was all over X, all over Instagram. It was delightful to say everything, which is awesome.
People are finally waking up to it and there's one more thing I want to say because this is
I have been very frustrated about how the conversation has been going online about this.
As someone who, if you're a new listener to the podcast, you may not be aware of how long I've
been fighting this. But I have been fighting this fight since 2011,
alongside people like Vani Hari, the food babe. I don't say that that's not like I'm not trying
to brag. I just want to give you context is what I'm trying to give you is like a timeline,
so in 2011, when was Obama and I just want to make sure that I get the timeline right? When did
Obama get voted in? Because I think that and I'm bringing this up because it's not to make excuses
for people that are in power right now. I am fucking pissed off about what's happening right now
and I am not giving anybody an excuse for who's in power right now. The only reason why I can
continue to bring this up is because people need to understand that this is not a situation that
we can outvote ourselves. I fell for that trap. I thought that we could vote our way out of this
depending on who we voted for and I have been on both sides of the aisle where I have voted for both
people. I voted for Obama twice because Obama was talking about GMOs and he said that he was going
to address this. What symbol are you making right now? I'm just playing with my fingers.
Are you flaggons of symbols there? Sorry. I voted for Obama twice because he promised that he was
going to do something about Monsanto because back then there was a small subset of activists that
were really, we were starting to get a lot of traction and we were all learning about glyphosate
and how it was being spread on our food and we all were promised that Obama was going to address GMOs
and GMOs and glyphosate are very intricately connected and he did the exact opposite. He signed
the Monsanto Act which only protected Monsanto further and the reason again that I'm bringing
this up is not to make excuses for the current administration. What I'm trying to paint a picture
for everybody to understand is that this is not something that I'm seeing all these posts online
that are like, oh, you did this. I can't believe that you voted for the people administration that's
doing this to us. Y'all can go on for so long. It has been going on for so long and it's so entrenched
with the swamp. It is so the agrochemical companies have their tentacles so freaking deep in our
government that it does not matter if a Democrat or a Republican is in office. This was happening
under Obama both times. Yes, it happened under Trump under the first administration. It was
happening under Biden. Kamala's campaign manager was an ex-Monsanto lobbyist, you guys. So even
if we had voted Kamala in here, it just would have been status quo. Honestly, you just would not
have been hearing about it. The only reason that it's glaringly in our face right now and why the
agrochemical companies are kicking and screaming and looking for immunity right now is because this is
the first time they've actually really been challenged. They've never been challenged under the other
administrations because it was just status quo. People didn't know enough about it so there wasn't
enough of a public uproar about it. Even though people like myself feel like we have been screaming
into a void since 2011 and many people before me, many years before me, but we were screaming
into a void for so long and the general public was not aware of it and making a big deal out of it.
And then we also didn't have somebody like Bobby Kennedy on stage saying, we're going to attack the
chemicals in our air food and water. Trump even said it on camera. He said, we're going to get rid
of the chemicals in our air food and our water and we're going to make America healthy again.
This is why the agrochemical companies are coming out in full force right now asking for
immunity. Yes, if Kamala had won, they would not be asking for immunity because they wouldn't
need it. It just would have been status quo. It would have been business as usual. They would have
been spraying more chemicals on us. It would have gone under the radar. Nobody would be fighting
about it publicly besides like a small subset of activists, but it's become the forefront
of the conversation because so many people are aware of it now because people like Bobby Kennedy
had a stage and a platform to talk about it. And now these agrochemical companies are feeling
incredibly threatened and like they are pushed into a corner, which when you think about it from
that regard, I guess it's a it's a good thing in the sense that we are shining a light on the
true evil and darkness in this country and it's finally coming to light and they're thrashing
and screaming and they're throwing everything they possibly can at it right now. They are going
state by state right now trying to get this immunity bill passed, meaning that like if each
state were to pass it then eventually it will it will make it much easier to make it into a federal
bill, a federal law eventually. They're also trying to slide it into our farm bill right now,
which they have had some success on and then they're also doing this case with the Supreme Court.
So they are trying every angle they possibly can to get this voted in and to try to get this
immunity. And the only reason they need the immunity is because we finally are aware of it and
people are are fighting back. Otherwise it just would have been status quo. So it's the only
reason I bring that up because I think Americans need to know this that this is not a left versus
right issue. This is an American people versus the agrochemical companies situation. And this is
not something that we would have outvoted. You nailed that. Thank you. It was a great monologue,
Court. Thank you. It was incredible. Yeah. So passionate. I was so right. Man, this is
it's hard to come like hard to comprehend and you feel so powerless against these these companies
right. They are so rich. They are so powerful. How do you even how do you even start? I mean it's
it's incredible work with you and Alex Clark are doing. Alexandra Kelly Ryerson. Bonnie Hari.
Bonnie Hari. Thank you all for standing up and speaking the truth on this. This is incredible
what you're all doing. Thank you. It's I'm exhausted y'all doing this for a long time. I'm exhausted.
And I'm bummed. I have to be honest. It's a big bummer to fight against this and then and then
pote us to not just say something about it but sign an executive order against it. It did hurt.
It did hurt. I was a little confusing too. So I get the part where you have you know if we got
off this project we stopped spraying we would be in some serious in a really tough position overnight
right. We stopped using glyphosate. What I don't understand is why are they trying to give them
an immunity from are they trying to slide that in as part of like their package that they're
negotiating. So if you know how you can stop using the product but if you get poison if you get
poison from it you get cancer you you still also can't see us. Why are they trying to slide that
in there because their sick of being sued. Yeah well so they're making the same argument that the
vaccine company is made in 1986. So when they made the case for their argument for the vaccine
shield and the reason I'm comparing this is because it's the only other example we've ever seen
in play and the vaccine liability shield actually got passed and the reason why was because
the vaccines were causing a significant amount of harm. We were actually seeing a lot of side effects
and a lot of harm and the companies were getting sued and essentially they went to the federal
government and they just said look these vaccines are life saving and if we don't get some sort of
protection from the federal government then we're going to we're not going to be able to
stay in business and we're going to have to stop making these vaccines so we need protection
which is so fucked up because why didn't they go back to the drawing board and go huh how can
we make these safer so that we're not harming so many people as we look back at like the I talked
about this on the podcast with Aaron Siri and I think we also talked about it with Del Big Tree
where the detap vaccine was notoriously causing so much harm that they had to redo it they reformulated
it so that it wasn't causing so much harm but again instead of just going to the drawing board
and going back to the drawing board and reformulating it so they didn't cause so much harm
they went to the federal government and they just said hey we need to keep making these vaccines
and if you don't protect us from being sued then we're going to be sued to oblivion and we're
not going to have the money to make these life saving vaccines anymore okay sounds good in theory
right but what's fucked up is that then you are not you're taking away the guardrails that every
company should be required to have in order to hold them accountable to create safe and healthy
products for people because when you when you take that immunity when you give them that immunity
then they have no reason they start getting a little sloppy on their product they start adding sketchy
ingredients they don't have as much you're in the account of exactly they don't have any reason to
create anything else other than they can just look at their spreadsheets and go wow we're making
a money viox is a perfect example that viox killed over 50,000 people gave them heart attacks
it said in the emails they knew that it was going to cause side effects but they knew they're
going to make so much money that they were they were willing to have that be a business cost of course
that was just calculated in part of the investment if you're going to make 50 billion dollars what
it's going to cost you 10 billion dollars to do it you're doing that all day oh so sick it is sick
so that's what's happening with the agrochemical companies is they are going to the federal government
and they're saying look their case is that we can't feed the world we can't continue to farm and
we can't continue to create food for Americans if we get sued to high hell and we lose money because
we can't keep functioning as a business so once again I'm going to say instead of them going
back to the drawing board and going huh how could we actually make this product safer so that
it's not killing so many people they're factoring this into their overall business model which is
we're willing to have X amount of harm in order to continue using this product moving forward
with it and so instead of trying to reformulate making it safer we're just using a different product
or I mean look these agrochemical companies maybe there's a time and a place a little bit here
in there in certain situations and scenarios and I would love to talk to Will Harris about this
of farmer but in my understanding and extensive research that I've done on regenerative farming
there's very little situations that you actually truly need these chemical inputs and think about
how crazy and hubris this is on on these humans part that decided to start spraying these chemicals
on our food some of these chemicals are very similar in chemical makeup to what they were using
as Nazi nerve agents in World War II and they were also using them in the the chambers the gas
chambers which is incredibly heartbreaking they're very similar in chemical composition and they
had so much of these chemicals left over after the war that they needed somewhere to place them
and they started spraying them on our food oh naturally let's just put them on our corn and fruit
thank you let's put this on stuff that we're going to consume and eat great great idea
respectively what the fuck literally what the fuck yeah so when you think about it like that
why did we think that it was smart to spray these chemicals on things that we were going to be
eating and now we're in a situation where yes we rely so heavily on these chemicals but we know
that these chemicals are causing severe harm birth defects into current disruption what are we
seeing that so many people are struggling with now even younger and younger and younger infertility
infertility is intricately it's an it's intricately connected to our endocrine systems which create
our hormones and regulate our hormones we are absolutely seeing a infertility crisis we're seeing
a cancer crisis and I think that it is pregnancy brain is so crazy I'm losing so many words and
I'm forgetting so many words I think that it's multifaceted as the word that I was looking for
I'm not saying it's only the chemicals but I think it's an assault in many different areas
and one of them being that we can no longer avoid these chemicals these chemicals are showing up in
over 80% of Americans urine we're finding glyphosate and these other farming chemicals in human breast
milk we're finding it in babies placentas we're finding it in men's balls we're finding it
oh yeah we're finding them everywhere we're finding these chemicals everywhere we're finding it in
our urine in our blood we're finding it in our rainwater we're finding it in our drinking water we're
finding it on our food this is not of oh the dose makes the poison good luck avoiding any of those
things it's impossible yeah it's no longer dose makes the poison kind of situation
because we can't avoid them.
So this is crazy.
This stuff makes me so depressed.
Let's talk about something fun.
I know, I'm really sorry.
Are we backstating our kids?
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
I feel like I kept going on tangents
and there were a couple things that I wanted to say
and I can't remember.
Did I hopefully I wrapped up all of it?
Yeah, yeah, you did.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting
how this plays out here in the next
what, a few months with the Supreme Court
and Monsanto Bayer and all that stuff going on.
I think it's going to be a huge pivotal part of Maha
right before the midterms.
Oh, yeah, this is.
I mean, they have a good plan for us
and things work out because you're going to be pissed.
We are pissed, we're pissed.
Yeah.
And I just don't want to vote anymore.
I'm over it.
I just want to wrap this up really quickly
because you said something that I always like to speak to
because I get that this is all really heavy.
And it makes people feel scared,
it makes people feel depressed.
Look, I know all of this
and I have made it my life's mission to fight this.
I really feel like this fight is one of the main reasons
that I'm here on Earth at this very time.
I just can feel it because this is a fight
that I'm not willing to give up.
And for some reason, it's,
I just feel like I was given the tools to fight it
and not let it depress me.
And it pisses me off,
but the anger actually fuels me and it doesn't scare me.
But I understand that it is very scary
for a lot of people to hear this.
And I think it makes people want to put their head in the sand
and just put their hands up at the air and say,
fuck it, like we're being poisoned.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Look, there's a lot of hope in the world.
There's a lot of, I really believe
that we're also living in a time of truth.
I think a lot of why all of this is being put so much
in the forefront and we're all being bombarded with it
is because we're meant to see it.
The truth is meant to come and rise to the surface.
We're shining light on the darkest parts of society
and of the world.
And if you can hang on, I really believe
there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
I do believe that this is going to be resolved.
I pray that it's going to happen in our lifetime
and our kids, we owe this to our kids to fight this fight.
Yes, it's scary, but there is also a component
where I have resolved to myself
that there's only so much that I can do.
Yeah.
You buy organic, you're very mindful,
but this is why a lot of my page and my message
is around empowering and empowering you
to make good choices with the food
and the things that you buy and bring into your home,
the things that you put on your body,
where you're eating out,
it has never been more important to be mindful of these things
and not from a place of fear,
but from a place of empowerment,
where you are making decisions that you feel good about,
that make you feel good in your body.
You know, sauna, exercise,
make sure that you're sweating,
take something to support your liver health,
take something like body bio PC
that will help your body get some of the glyphosate out
and then you just have to pray and give the rest of God
because there is really only so much control that we have
and there are certain things that we can do
and then there are certain things that are out of our control
and the way that I make peace within in my mind
is I feel as though I'm doing the absolute best
that I can and I'm giving the rest of God.
And that's it, like there's only so much we can do
and we can't live in fear
because living in fear and anxiety is also not good for you.
And I get questions from people all the time
or judgments, I'll see all these comments that are like,
oh, like you live in fear all the time
and you know, must suck to be scared all the time.
I don't, I don't.
I know all this and I'm able to metabolize it
and like live and move on with my life.
I just am very cognizant and aware of it
and I take the right steps in order to protect myself
the way that I think is gonna have the biggest impact
and then I give the rest of God truly.
So we don't have to live in fear
and it's not good for you to live in fear.
We control the things that we can control.
There's a lot of things out of our control
but we're gonna do the little things daily
that are within our control, right?
Yeah, exactly.
So I just wanted to say that
because it is not my intention to cause fear in people.
It's just incredibly important that we're aware of all this
because the more people that stand up and speak out
the better opportunity we have to actually fight this.
And I'm still hopeful, I haven't lost hope yet
even though it feels like it is the biggest uphill battle.
That's so freaking annoying.
But we're fighting the good fight
and I'm a true believer that in the end,
the truth prevails, good prevails evil
and I'm gonna hold on to that.
So...
Reach, amen.
Hallelujah.
