Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
You know, it's important to.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Prioritize stories because if everything is the biggest story and
everything is outrageous, then it all runs together and you
lose sight of how truly outrageous and big and important
something is. This one is that big. George Sorols seeks
to destroy this country as we know it.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
We know this.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
The FCC has reportedly approved a deal that accelerates his
acquisition of over two hundred radio stations.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Odyssey is a radio company.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Our show airs on some Odyssey stations, and Odyssey is
not a bad guy.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
They're selling the stations. Apparently that's what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
People buy and sell radio stations, select restaurants, or cars
or anything else. Well, Brendan carr is a who's a
senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, is raising concerns
at how disturbing this is, because, as The New York

(01:44):
Post is reporting, the FCC gave the green light just
weeks before the upcoming presidential election, which would give George
Soros influence on over one hundred and sixty five million
Americans in forty markets at a crucial political moment.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Why would they approve the sale right before the election.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
In a time frame that expedites the normal.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Review.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
It's almost like they're trying to ensure that Soorrows has
control of these stations just before people vote, he can
flip the format. You can flip a format in one day.
You could take off all the programming that's on there
and play classical music, silencing the voice of me and

(02:46):
a number of other talk show hosts, all of them
you know, and in effect you as well, because as
you've seen, as we're going into this election, we're spending
more and more time having you tell why you're voting
the way you're voting. This is an engaging personality. You

(03:06):
and are conversation, you and I are having. It's not
just me talking, not just that my voice would be silenced.
There are three Democrat commissioners, there are two Republican commissioners.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
And guess how the three to two vote went down.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Brendan Carr is the senior Republican on the FCC commission,
and he was on Glenn Back's program, And I think
this is a really really interesting and telling conversation that
Glenn had with him.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Listen to this, Brendan, tell me.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Is do I have this right first of all about
the George Soros takeover of radio stations? And if so wide,
was there an exception made and fast tracked?

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Well, you know that Post has a story out last
week or actually yesterday that says that the SEC last
week adopted in order that effectively fast tracks Soros's purchase
of these two hundred radio stations. And I haven't commented
on that publicly because the fact is the sc hasn't

(04:16):
released a final decision to the public yet, but reporting
is that we adopted it last week in a three
to two vote. I've been outspoken on this particular issue
for the reasons that you talked about.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
We have a very clear process of the SEC that
we've set up that could take six.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Months, could take a year to go through to review
the foreign ownership that issue here, But for reasons that
are not.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Sort of plain to me, the SCC.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
Commission, for the very first time ever, has skipped that
process for the benefit of this Soros backed group. And
I'll sort of let people draw their own conclusions about it,
but again, it's an unprecedented decision for the.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Commission never happened before. That's right.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
At the commission level adopted one way that you can
buy radio stations if you have accessed at foreign ownership,
which they do in that one process is this lengthy
six to one year national security review, and it's been
skipped here. Now a lot of these stations are probably
just you know, classic rocks or news, but not all

(05:20):
of them. There don't have to be theresations that you know,
there's inversations that you're confer instance, at least three stations
that you're on that are part of this deal. Same
with Sean Hannity, same with being the Last, same with
Mark Levin. So there's at least some of these that
are you know, conservative news and talk outlets.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
I got to tell you, if this was a conservative
doing this, I doubt the FCC would have okayed it.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Any ramifications go ahead. Well yeah, Glenn, we we actually
have that example.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
So not too long that maybe a year or so ago,
there was a group of conservative buyers that wanted to
purchase some South Florida radio stations, and a number of
Democrats spoke up very loudly and said the FC cannot
allow these conservative outlets to buy these radio stations because

(06:15):
in the democrats of view, it could cost them elections
in South Florida, and amidst that pressure campaign, the conservative
buyers abandoned the deal. And so we've seen across the
board concerted efforts by Democrats to sort of weaponize the
government to go against conservative speech. There was California Democrats
in Congress that wrote letter to cable companies telling them

(06:37):
to drop box news newsmats and on because of the
editorial decisions.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
That their newsroom for making. We had a Baltimore.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Democrat prosecutor called on the SEC to investigate a local
TV station that was exposing her own corruption.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
And so this is sort of the.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Reverse side of a pattern that we've been living under
the last couple of years of weaponization of government power,
in my view, frankly, against free speech.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Most Americans do not understand how ruthless and ambitious the
left is. They have no idea. Most Americans are so naive.

(07:23):
Not you, I'm not you. I'm not talking about you.
You don't need to tell me that you're I understand.
I'm telling you, the guys at work, I'm telling you,
the ladies at work, I'm telling you people.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Around you on the highway right now. People will say
to me.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
They don't believe that the Democrats have left the border,
because why would the Democrats do that?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
That would be bad for the country.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
You know.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Can you imagine being the.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Victim of a violent crime that occurs over a long
period of time, a long rape, torture, these sorts of things.
What are the things that victims talk about later that
you read about, is that they were asking themselves the question,
why why.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Are you doing this? I don't understand why you're doing
this to me?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Because you cannot fathom that another person would derive utility, joy, happiness,
purpose from bringing all this pain to you. Because if
you don't feel this emotion, if that's not how you are,
you can't imagine anyone else would feel that way.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Right well, that's exactly what happens. That is precisely what happens.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
People can't imagine that the left wants to control and
silence you on Facebook, Google, Instagram, on every radio sipould
they do and if you're not.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Willing to wait, then to the border.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
You haven't been with Michael Barrier and I haven't been
to you.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
CBS Mornings has been traveling around the battleground stakes Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia,
North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Michigan.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
And talking to voters and Nate Burleson, who's not a
big political guy per se happens to be black. He
took a trip through Wisconsin and he said he talked
to Harris supporters and Trump supporters, but he noted there
were Trump signs everywhere.

Speaker 8 (09:34):
When we drove through those cornfields. Just about every line
at a Trump sign. Yeah, flags everywhere, billboards everywhere, Trump
campaign offices almost on every other block.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'll tell you why rural America loves Trump. If you
were to create a graph, people that have no debt
doesn't make them rich. But people that don't take on
debt to pay off their stuff, some of you are

(10:06):
nod in your head right now.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
They're Trump supporters.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
People that like my buddy, the Aggie plumber in college station,
Michael Robinson. He's not desperate to get more work and
make more money. He's a good life, good work, balance life,
good work, home life, is good, active father, great husband
who takes his wife to date night every week.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
He's there with his kids for homework.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
And he says, you know, I could run out and
get more projects to do, but I'd have to hire
more people to do it, and that's more problems and
more time.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
And I got a good balance.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
And he says, look, I'm forty years old and I've
paid everything off.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I keep it simple.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
If we have a dry spell for three months, I've
got my little packet of cash over here that I
can cover that I don't buy things I don't need.
He's got a truck with two one thousand miles on it.
I got a house that I paid off.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Those types of people that make good decisions, that take
personal responsibility.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
They're voting for Trump.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
They own a piece of property and they've got a
sign out front and they're telling people I vote for Trump.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
The people with.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Multiple divorces, multiple addictions, multiple therapists, multiple problems, instability, anger,
those people are not voting for Trump. By and large.
That's why you see these signs. When you drive along
the highways of Texas or Louisiana or Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,

(11:44):
North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
You see a family, you see a house over on
the side.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Those people don't have a grocery store close by or
an emergency room or anything else. They are very self sufficient.
Those people have Trumps. Those people don't vote Democrat. Those
people aren't waiting on the government to solve their problem.
They have to take care of themselves. And there's nothing
wrong with the fact that they don't want to have
to take care of everybody else and the rest of

(12:14):
the world. Kamala Harris was in Pennsylvania. She was asked
how she felt about the state of Pennsylvania. And I
don't know what to do with this word salad.

Speaker 9 (12:22):
Feeling very good about Pennsylvania because there are a lot
of people in Pennsylvania who deserve to be seen and heard.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
That's why I'm here in Johnstown.

Speaker 9 (12:33):
And I will be continuing to travel around the state
to make sure that I'm listening as much as we
are talking. And ultimately, I feel very strongly that.

Speaker 10 (12:43):
We've got to earn every vote.

Speaker 9 (12:45):
And that means spending time with folks in the communities
where they live.

Speaker 10 (12:49):
And so that's why I'm here.

Speaker 9 (12:51):
We're going to be spending a lot more time in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Wait what, Steve is a Democrat from Pennsylvania. He's voting
for Trump. He was on Fox News wanting to be
seen and heard.

Speaker 11 (13:09):
One voter already sold on the former president's message on Israel,
he joins us now. Steve Rosenberg is a Democrat from Pennsylvania.
He has told us then he plans to vote for
President Trump this time around.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Tell us why, well, Dana, as the President just said
to me, and I spent a lot of time thinking
about this. If you're a Jew, if you're pro Israel,
there's only one candidate here.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Actions speak louder than words.

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Kamala Harris has surrounded herself with some of the worst
Jew haters that there are, Maharbitar, you know, Philip Gordon,
Elon Goldberg's got a nice name, but if you look
at their records, they are pro i Ran.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
They are not pro Israel.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
And to me, all the other issues that are on
the table, whether you be climate oriented, abortion oriented, whatever
your orientation is, if you are not focused on being
Jew and being proiser right now, we are in the
fight for our literal lodge and all those issues won't
be there if we're dead in four years.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Ye about trying to kill us.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
He's pretty clear, he says, it's a clear choice if
you're Jewish. He talked about Kamala Harris's plan to end
the Gaza War.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Kamala Harris would leave Jews to die.

Speaker 11 (14:25):
She would here's what he said, talk about an actual
existential crisis. Indeed, here's Kamala Harris talking about her policy
kind of with some specifics on Israel Gaza war.

Speaker 9 (14:37):
We need to get this zeal done, and we need
to get it done immediately.

Speaker 8 (14:42):
But in the way that we said weapons, in the
way that we interact as their ally, are there specific
policy changes.

Speaker 9 (14:47):
It's one of the things that we have done that
I am entirely supportive of is the pause that we've
put on the two thousand pound moms, and so there
is some leverage that we have had and used. But ultimately,
the thing that is going to unlock everything else in
that region is getting this deal done.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
What do you make of that, save I don't know
what deal she's talking about. If she's talking about the
two state delusion, as I call it, she's out of
her mind because that's been on the table since, you know,
nineteen forty eight and has been rejected time and time again.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
In fact, Dana, you know, because you're a student of this.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Prime Minister Sharon pulled out of Gaza in two thousand
and five and left them the most gorgeous possible reason
that they could have that Dubai of Israel, and they
immediately the Pala Satians immediately voted in Hamas to be
their leadership. Then they dismantled Gaza and use the materials
to dig tunnels back into Israel to kill Jews. So

(15:46):
I don't know what deal she's referring to, referring to.

Speaker 11 (15:49):
A hostage deal, although she didn't mention that six of
the hostages were killed at killed by gun right before
they were going to be rescued.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
Here's the deal on the table, us bringing the hostages
back Israel, will happily leave Gaza and go back to Israel.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Powerful line he uses here, as Steve Rosenberg, a Jewish
Democrat from Pennsylvania who's voting for Trump, there's no proper
being on the last train to Auschwitz.

Speaker 11 (16:17):
Wow, what do you think of the reporting that he
and I don't see the full context.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
I might have said to jest that.

Speaker 11 (16:23):
He will if he doesn't win, the Jews would be
at fault.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Could be a lot of people with foulard.

Speaker 11 (16:28):
I don't Yeah, I think it was a little bit time.

Speaker 6 (16:30):
A lot of things President says. Trump says a lot
of things. But I would ask you this question, Danny.
You know a lot of people like you. Great reporters
often asked, are you better off today than you were
four years ago? I would phrase that question differently. Who
is better off four years ago than they were today?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
And you know who is? The Mols and I ran.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
The Chinese, the North Koreans, They're much better off. And
I don't want to live in a world that the
Moles wake up happy every day. I don't want to
wake up in a world that capitulates to who I ran.
Who is the greatest sponsor of terror in the world.
The Abraham Accords proved that there is a deal on
the table, and that's through economic cooperation through the great

(17:09):
Sjunie Arab countries. The next one to come in should
be Shaudi Arabia. Could you imagine the transformation that would
happened with Israel and Saudi Arabia making a deal together.

Speaker 11 (17:18):
I actually can't imagine it. I can't imagine it because
I think it was going to happen. Hey, I'll tell
you what, Steve, I'd love to stay in touch with
you and my greatest wish is that I would have
been on your text thread when the pager started exploding,
because I think that would have been some good content.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
We could make that happen. Can I leave you one
last thing of French?

Speaker 6 (17:36):
There is no prize for being on the last train
to Auschwitz.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
What I appreciate about him is being a prominent Jewish Democrat.
That part of his identity is being a Democrat. For
many Jews, from any blacks, that is the case, and
for many gays. And to say, yeah, but this time
they're going to take us over a cliff and kill us.

(18:03):
I've got to vote for the Republican and I'm willing
to do it.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
That's brave. I would like to see more Americans do that.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
They remain scared to death of you, and they remain
scared to death of Trump.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
Michael shows, You're not going anywhere even if Trump does.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
You're not.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
We've shared this clip I'm about to play for you before.
But what we've been doing, we're calling them our greatest hits,
is we've been culling through things we've talked about since
this summer and the things that are most important. The
problem I think for us and for you is there's

(18:47):
so much craziness going on every day. In an attempt
to talk about it and try to make some sense
of it, we have a tendency to talk about hundreds
and hundreds of things, and we lose the ability to
prioritize and pull out just a few of the key components,
the key things to remember, right, And so I'm going
to try to do a better job of that between

(19:08):
now and election day, of focusing on what's important, you know,
the top tier, the top line, as they say in
the boardroom, staying focused on the important stuff and not
just all of them. Many people will ask me, and
why don't you talk about this and whyn't you talk about?
Because I can't talk about.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
All of it. I want to talk about what's most important.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
So I think this right here strikes a real chord
with people, especially people like you, who are fed up
with the constant focus on identity politics.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
It's a horrible, horrible thing for everybody.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
For whites, for blacks, for gays, for straights, for immigrants.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
For long times, it is.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Very divisive, very negative, and it spurs people to dislike
other people. And we do a good job in this
country of creating nationhood, and there are people who job
it is.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
They get paid for this. They get paid by people.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Who want dissent, to see to spur descent, and you
need to know that's what they're doing before they capture
you in their in their guiles.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
This is a young woman by the name of Jade Gillham.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
She ended up as a result of some of the
things she'd been saying in posting online, she ended up
being invited to speak at a Donald Trump campaign event
earlier this summer, and she says, unlike Kamala Harris, I'm
a real life black woman. It's an interesting perspective because
I think as more blacks, and we've really seen this

(20:38):
of late, more blacks are saying I'm done with it.
Stop with all the identity politics, because guess what, I
want a good job, I want a good return on
the investment. I want to be healthy, I want to
have opportunity. I want to be safe in my home.
I want other people to stop invading this country. And
being black doesn't change all that. I just like the
rest of you. But here's what she had to say.

Speaker 12 (20:55):
My name is Jade. I am a former Democrat. I'm
like Kamala Harris. I'm an actual, real black woman, and
I'm a former Democrat who is currently registered Republican. I
stand here before you today because I'm tired. I'm tired
of the Democrats using the generational trauma of my people

(21:18):
to garner votes. They invoke fear. They tell me I'm oppressed,
they tell me I'm less than They tell me I'm
not good enough, and they tell me that my white
brothers and sisters in Christ are my enemy.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
No, no, they are not.

Speaker 12 (21:33):
As a follower of Jesus Christ, Ephesian five eleven tells me,
I must expose the works of the enemy, and the
enemy is telling me that don't worry that I can't
pay my bills, that I'm working six days a week
this week, and I'm tired, and I went to school
and I have a career. I'm doing worse under this
administration than a Donald Trump's administration. But I'm told to
be afraid of a man who made my life better.

(21:54):
How does that work?

Speaker 6 (21:56):
Make?

Speaker 2 (21:56):
It makes sense? During COVID, I knew more.

Speaker 12 (21:59):
Of my wife guy friends that lost their jobs then
me and my black girlfriends. We are the same in
this country. All these Americans want the same thing. We
want safety, we want prosperity, we want peace, and the
Democrats keep going back and look, check it out right.
I honor my ancestors and the people who fought for
us to be in this one here today, no one
is discounting what my people went through, but honor them

(22:21):
by getting past and voting forgiveness. In this culture, I'm
so tired of being told I need to be afraid.
I'm so tired that I need to be told all
the time that I have to vote for the Democrats
who have done nothing positive.

Speaker 10 (22:33):
For my life at all.

Speaker 12 (22:35):
My life is totally worse than it was during the
Trump administration, yet I kept having you must vote for
the Democrats. We're told this as black people since we
were a child. Let's honor our ancestors by doing better
and honor them because they're rolling over in their graves
hearing the fact that Kamala Harris is having megan the
stallion work and showing our bodies as these like.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Just vessels of lust. That's not cool.

Speaker 12 (22:57):
The stive women out here are being told that Donald
try is like their enemy, when really Kamala Harris opening
up the border. Look what happens to Lincoln Riley. She's
a woman, she was a woman, just like I am.
No woman in black or white wants that to happen
to her. All these people whose kids are dying, the
black moms, the white moms, they don't cry the same
color tears.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yes, So let's move past this.

Speaker 12 (23:18):
Let's vote for Donald Trump's We can all be prosperous again.
Let's get out of this fear, this rage, and this anger,
because it comes from the devil. So hear me, Black folks,
hear me, white folks. We are so much more like
than we are different. We need to forgive each other.
We need to help each other. And I don't owe

(23:40):
the Democrats anything they owe me. They're to serve us
their public servants, not putting them on a padest but
make them work for us.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
That is strong. Make America healthy again. I agree.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Here was RFK Junior talking about his role in the
Trump administration, and I like this.

Speaker 13 (24:00):
Hey, everyone, I'm here today to tell you how we
can make America healthy again. And the first thing you
need to do is to get one of these hats.
And we need everybody walking around and wearing it everywhere
they go.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
But that's not going to be nearly enough.

Speaker 13 (24:14):
That's why I'm partnering with President Donald Trump to transform
our nation's food, fitness, air, water, soil, and medicine. Our
big priority will be to clean up the public health
agencies like CDC and ih FDA and.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
The US Department of Agriculture.

Speaker 13 (24:33):
Those agencies have become sog puppets for the industries that
they're supposed to regulate. As in a Trump and I
are going to replace the corrupt industry captured officials.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
With honest public service.

Speaker 13 (24:45):
We're going to steer resources to meet our nation's biggest
health challenge, chronic disease. We're going to identify its root cause,
and we're going to help eliminate those exposures. We're going
to get toxic additives and pesticide residues out of our food.
We're going to support the tens of millions of Americans
who choose alternative and complimentary medicine. We're going to become

(25:07):
once again the healthiest nation on earth. That's what we
mean by MAHA make.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
America Healthy Again.

Speaker 13 (25:14):
And if you want to support this vision, you can
buy MAHA merge or donate to our website at MAHA
now dot org.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
O the.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
Worst president, the worst vice president in the history of our.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Question, the Michael Berry. We can't afford four more years
of this. We've been talking about Robert F.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Kennedy Junior and his Make America Healthy Again plan. This
is something that he's been committed to for a long time,
and I have to tell you I find this very exciting.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I really do. I find this thrilling. Talk about our
nation being healthy again.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
This isn't Michelle Obama telling our kids they can't have
candy or cake. This is about restoring goodness to our
food supply, restoring decency to our pharmaceutical products, restoring common sense.
Because when you love somebody, I love my wife, I
love my kids.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
I want them to be healthy.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
I'm not going to tell them what to eat and
what not to do, but I want to make sure
that every opportunity they have to be healthy is available.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
And this needs to be done.

Speaker 10 (26:28):
So.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Fitness guru Jillian Michaels was at a guest was at
a roundtable discussion where she was a guest speaker called
American Health and Nutrition, hosted by Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
She gave a very powerful speech. We've edited it down,
but we're going to go to the break with it.
I really really like it. I don't normally play clips
this long, but I think it's wonderful, and I hope

(26:52):
you'll listen to it, and I hope you'll share it
with other people.

Speaker 7 (26:54):
The entirety almost of my generation, along with the two
generations that fall, would have fallen victim to America's unchecked
obesity crisis and over all one hundred and seventy comorbidities
that go along with it. I don't know about you,
but I've watched my friends jabbing themselves every day with
fertility drugs, praying for a pregnancy, my friends getting up

(27:15):
at the crack of dawn to get raided.

Speaker 10 (27:17):
Where the lump was found in their breast.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
My friends swallowing fistfuls of pills to manage their debilitating
anxiety and depression. The decades between nineteen eighty and now
didn't beget a genetic quantum leap in which our DNA
inexplicably mutated to make American bodies expand and fall ill
at an unprecedented pace. And while Gen X millennials and
Gen Z have our problems, seventy five percent of us

(27:40):
are not stupid, weak, or lazy. So hopefully you are
wondering what has happened to us, and we're here to
tell you. In the late seventies and the early eighties,
a sinister series events converged to change food and subsequently
health in America indefinitely, a plague that crept like a
fog while we slept literally and figuratively, blindly trusting that

(28:04):
the powers the beat would never betray us. I mean,
it seemed unthinkable to question whether a corporation would poison
us for profit. I mean, the widespread assumption, at least
when I was a kid.

Speaker 10 (28:15):
Was that they were acting on our behalf.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
They wanted to make food more affordable and more convenient.

Speaker 10 (28:20):
But it was this.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
Betrayal of trust that allowed them to insidiously infiltrate every
part of our lives. Home cooked meals became fast food
value meals. Libraries and bookstores with no food or drink
policies installed cafes selling five hundred calorieffee drinks. Some pastries,
eggs became heart disease cholesterol bombs, and honeynut cheerios got
labeled heart healthy. The default human condition in the twenty

(28:46):
first century is obese, by design. Specific traceable forms of
what's referred to as structural violence are created by the
catastrophic quartette of big farming, big food, and big insurance.
They systematically corrupt every institution of trust, which has led
to the global spread of.

Speaker 10 (29:07):
Obesity and disease, to functional.

Speaker 7 (29:09):
And destructive agricultural legislation like the farm Bill, which favors
high yield, genetically engineered crops and corn and soy, leading
to the proliferation of empty calories saturated with all of
these toxins that we've been talking about today for three hours,
and it seems like we can never sit enough about it.
And then this glood of cheap calories provides a boon

(29:31):
to the food industry giants.

Speaker 10 (29:32):
They just turned it into a bounty.

Speaker 7 (29:33):
Of ultra process factory assembled foods and beverages strategically engineered
to undermine your society and foster your dependence, like nicotine
and cocaine. So we literally cannot eat just one and
to ensure that you don't, added measures are taken to
inundate our physical surroundings. We're literally flooded with food and

(29:55):
we are brainwashed by ubiquitous cues to eat, whether it's
the taco bell average on the side.

Speaker 10 (30:01):
Of a boss as you drive to work.

Speaker 7 (30:02):
Or a vending machine at your kids' school. There is
no place we spend time that's left untouched. They're omnipresent.
It's with mega celebrities eating McDonald's and loving it. Sponsored
dietitians paid to promote junk food on social media, utilizing
anti diet body positivity messaging like derail the shame in
relation to fast food consumption. Time magazine reasonly issuing a

(30:25):
defense of ultra process foods on their cover with the
title what if ultra process foods aren't as bad as
you think? And when people like us try to sell
the alarm, they ensure that we are as swiftly labeled
as anti science, fat shamers, and even racists. They launch
aggressive lobbying efforts to influence you our politicians to shape

(30:50):
policy secure federal grants, tax credits, subsidy dollars, which proliferates
their product and heavily pads their bottom line. They have
created a perfect storm in which pharmaceuticals that cost hundreds,
if not thousands per month, like ozembic, that are linked
to stomach paralysis, pancreatize and thyroid cancer can actually surge.

(31:12):
This reinforces a growing dependence on medical interventions to manage
weight in a society where systemic change in food production
and consumption is desperately needed and also very possible. These
monster corporations have mastered the art. I'm distorting the research,
influencing the policy, buying the narrative, engineering the environment, and

(31:34):
manipulating consumer behavior. So given all of this, the question becomes,
how did I escape? I mean, I still remember the
lunches my mom would pack me as a little kid
at such innocence and love, and she had no idea
that my kindergarten lunch box contains at least fifty Now
I'm thinking it's far more carcinogens, solvents and mulsifiers. Color
is preserved as adoles. I'm going to skip it because

(31:56):
we did it already. Frank in foods like juice boxes
with no juice process, lunch meat held together.

Speaker 10 (32:02):
By meat glue.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
I mean, as a tween, I would sit it on
the couch after school, just numbingly inhaling Cheetos.

Speaker 10 (32:10):
And Oreos in front of the TV.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
There was no such thing as meal times, and it
could stuff myself endlessly and.

Speaker 10 (32:14):
Never feel full.

Speaker 7 (32:16):
Buckets of KFC at night for our family dinner because
it was quick, convenient, affordable, and I remember I would
lay in bed comatos. It was a lifestyle equivalent to
a death sentence, but we never questioned it because we
were just a family that was simply attuned to the culture.
So she comes no surprise that by that tender age

(32:36):
of thirteen, I was obese, failing in school, and becoming
increasingly depressed and despondent, and my mom began to feel helpless.
She spoke to my pediatrician and a child psychiatrist, both
of whom suggested she medicate me on prozac and Riddlin,
but she was watching many of her friend's kids on
this exact same protocol and they weren't improving. My mom

(32:57):
was becoming progressively desperate to help me, and then face intervened.
She met another mom whose child had been thriving since
joining a local martial arts studio.

Speaker 10 (33:05):
And she signed me up the next day. And my son,
Say was smart.

Speaker 7 (33:09):
Enough to recognize the ways in which America's youth were
being routinely poisoned, and he cared enough to create an
environment where myself and the other students under his wing
were educated, insulated, and nourished to become our best selves.
I went on to get my black belt, and I
become a trainer and a nutritionist myself, with the intention
of waking up the others and giving them the same

(33:32):
tools that he gave me.

Speaker 10 (33:34):
And while I have been fortunate enough to pull many
back from the edge.

Speaker 7 (33:38):
Over the course of my thirty year career, I have
lost just as many, if not more, than I've saved.

Speaker 10 (33:43):
I have watched them slip through my fingers.

Speaker 7 (33:46):
Mothers that orphan their children, husbands that widowed their wives.
I have even watched parents forced to suffer the unthinkable
loss of their adult children. There are not words to
express the sadness I have felt in the fury knowing
that they were literally sacrificed of the altar of unschecked
corporate ecoment.
