Glyphosate & the Future of Food: What This Moment Means for All of Us

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.
