Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Michael Berry Show. Welcome to the weekend broadcast. I
had some dribs and drabs of stories I didn't get to,
but I thought we're worth taking a moment to discuss,
and so rather than roll them to Monday, we'll discuss
them today. We start with Bill Gates. And you know,

(00:21):
Bill Gates was up until relatively recently last twenty years
or so, he was a guy that had had this
kind of public image of this sort of frumpy, nerdy
goofy but insanely financially successful. Yeah, and then little things

(00:45):
started to dribble out that he's not a good guy.
He's not a good person.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's a bad guy.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
And then and then he began this foray he was.
He was very concerned with overpopulation. And people who worry
about overpopulation always make me nervous because what they really
want to do is kill a bunch of people. In Houston,
we had an issue with with Houston has a chip

(01:16):
on its shoulder, and they always want to have whatever
New York has, even though people are fleeing New York,
that's what they want. So they wanted a subway, and
there was the city planner types, and they were the
ones that are all going to get paid off.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
This.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
They wanted something called a light rail. Oh good, We're
going to get everybody out of their car and into
the light rail. And one of the reasons they love
big public projects. But the other reason is they love
the idea of people not having their own car, because
if nobody has their own car, then these people can
drive in their car on roads that don't have any
traffic on them, and in big cities, traffics big issue.

(01:50):
And I always said, don't trust the people who want
to take away your car if they're not giving up
their own right. So the idea is is they've got
something to gain from this, and it's not high minded,
it's not noble. Well, Bill Gates is one of these
people that is very concerned with overpopulation and I think

(02:11):
wants to kill half the world or more and subjugate
the others. This is a guy who has a god complex.
This is a guy who enjoys exerting power on a
mass scale. And it really is like a bad sci
fi novel or movie. This doctor evil, horrible, horrible person

(02:33):
who does horrible, horrible things. What he did during COVID,
what he has done in Africa, it's a wonder he
can set foot in Africa. As much as they hate
that man or what he has done, the things he's
put into people's bodies, the actions he's taken, and all
the while he finds ways to make money off of it.
That's the worst. So with that in mind, why would

(02:56):
anybody take any nutritional or health advice from Bill Gates?
But that's what has happened. We saw a story on
CBS News of them hyping Bill Gates's new fake butter
made from You ready for this? Made from carbon? Yeah,

(03:17):
fake butter made from carbon. Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Bells and tastes like the butter we're all familiar with
bothout the farmland, fertilizers or emissions tied to that typical
process and this butter breakthrough. It's happening right here in Batavia,
in the middle of an industrial park in a suburb
west of Chicago. Something unprecedented is happening.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
So you're using this gas right now to like cook
your food, and we're proposing that we would like to
first make your food.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
With that gas.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
The company is called Savor, and you better believe it.
They're pioneering tech uses carbon and hydrogen to make the
stick of butter you see on this plate.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
This is pretty novel to be able to make food
that looks and tastes and feels exactly like dairy butter,
but with no agriculture whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
And no long ingredient list the average person can't pronounce.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
It's really just our fat, some water, a little bit
of less than as an emulsifier, and some natural flavor
and color.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
How fats are made up of carbon and hydrogen chains.
The goal here replicate those chains without animals or plants.
And they did it. They tell me to simplify. They
take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water,
heat them up, and oxidize them. The final result.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
It looks like a wax, like a candle wax at first.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
But they're fat molecules like the ones in beef, cheese
or vegetable oils.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Sustainability is why we are here.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's all done releasing zero greenhouse gases, using no farmland
to feed cows.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Not at full capacity in this facility.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yet, and even though we're standing in a factory setting.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
And in addition to the carbon footprint being much lower
for a process like this, right, the land footprint is
like a thousand times lower than what you need in
traditional agriculture.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
You know, butter was doing fine, tastes good, good for you,
It's a good fat. My wife has taken us off
of all of the seed oils, and it turns out
a lot of things are seed oils that I had
no idea were seed oils. And we think seed oils

(05:40):
are bad for you. We're not crazy wacky, you know,
we don't live on a commune or in an earth.
But if we can take minor measures to do what
we think might make our family a little healthier without
being weird about it or talking about it all the time,
then we do. And so she switched over to olive oil,

(06:01):
and I I've really grown to like it. I never
I grew up on safflower oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil,
and I gotta tell you, I think those things are delicious.
I also see that there are a lot of problems
that go with that. But do you remember when they
when they came out with the I can't believe it's
not butter. Remember that four years we had a love affair.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Then we found out the butter we loved it had cholesterol.
But now hearts are sorry once again, as people are
discovering the fresh butter taste of I can't believe it's
not butter. I can't believe it's not butter. It is
the name of a new spread flavored with sweet cream buttermilk,
so it really tastes like butter, but without the cholesterol
to spoiled the romans. I can't believe it's not butter.

(06:46):
I never thought it could be this good again. I
can't believe it's not butter. The taste you love without
the cholesterol.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Cholesterol's not your problem. Cholesterol's not a problem. Big Pharma
convinced you that cholesterol was going to kill you. Cholesterol, cholesterol,
and everyone dutifully parroted it. Yes, cholesterol bad, honey, go
get your cholesterol checked. So they did. They rushed to
the doctor because doctors are people you can trust. And

(07:14):
the doctor did the blood work, send it to the lab.
The lab came back, Oh, he's got high cholesterol. But
what's my level. I don't know what's high or low. Well,
you've got high cholesterol. You're probably going to die. We're
going to put you on a statin. Okay, please do
because I don't want to die. Yes, go, go immediately
to the CVS or the Walgreens and get this statin

(07:37):
and start taking this statin. So they did, and they
ended up with dementia. And that's what happened. And if
you think I'm crazy, that's okay. I don't care. We're
not friends. I don't know you. If you read with
just a slight bit of skepticism, what a variety of

(07:58):
people from a variety of back rounds and studies and research,
and you use your brain and you recognize that you
live through COVID and all the lies that were told
about that. You start to recognize, Wait a second, here's
what they first tell you is bad, and then they
offer you the solution. So we have problems we didn't
know about, but we have a solution that we can

(08:21):
buy from them. And statin's, my opinion, status are the
death of this country. They are absolutely positively awful. Yeah,
I think that's good. We'll stop there on that one.
I'm gonna say some stuff now that you make you
think I'm crazy, and I really don't care. In fact,
I don't even need you to agree with me. I'm

(08:43):
not here to tell you what to think. I'm just
here to urge you, encourage you, cajole you into thinking,
not how to think, but just think. Just question. Don't
trust pharmaceutical companies. Don't just trust your doctor who may
be getting a commission because he puts fifty people a

(09:05):
day on statins. It happens, you know. If you like
