Starting point is 00:00:05 Have you noticed that this show doesn't have any commercials? I'm not selling you diapers or vitamins or smoothies or gasoline. That's because I don't want any corporate sponsors telling me what I can investigate or what I can say. Instead, you are our sponsors. This is a production by our nonprofit, the Informed Consent Action Network. So if you want more investigations, if you want landmark legal wins, If you want hard-hitting news, if you want the truth, go to ICandecide.org and donate now. All right, everyone, we ready?
Starting point is 00:00:46 Action. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are out there in the world, it's time to step out on the high wire. I have one thing to say, we did it! What an incredible moment right here, live feed of the White House behind me. We're live here in Washington, D.C. I just ran over, hopped in a car. We were in the Senate hearing room as over an hour it took for the vote to come in on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is the new HHS Secretary of the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:01:32 And as I sat there thinking about what this meant, of course, there's so many journeys that have brought us that point. And I thought about two years ago when Robert Kennedy Jr. called me and said he was beginning a conversation about running for president of the United States. And then I thought about four years before that where Robert Kennedy Jr. and I had talked about should you run for president of the United States to bring this issue of vaccine injury to the awareness of the world. And then even before that, the release of Vaxed, the film that changed my life forever. and as I sat there in the hall, we couldn't help but think about the thousands of families whose lives have been absolutely destroyed by the risk, the known risk of vaccines. And that's really what this is about. They try to say you're an anti-vaxxer for pointing out the side effects that are listed
Starting point is 00:02:35 right on the product itself, yet thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of parents have been gaslit by this government and every health agency of the world acting as though there's some product that could be made that has no side effects whatsoever. And you're a criminal if you bring up the fact that there's side effects listed right on the package insert like every other drug we take. Why are we not allowed to talk about this? Why can we not talk about these children whose lives are dramatically changed moments sometimes after receiving a vaccine.
Starting point is 00:03:14 It's documented by doctors across the world. It has been compensated in courtrooms across the world, including our own. Every single year, people are paid out millions and millions of dollars have been spent. The VERS system, vaccine adverse events reporting system, our most powerful post-marketing surveillance system captures over 400 deaths on average every single. single year from vaccines. And now with the COVID vaccine, tens of thousands of deaths have been reported. Here's the numbers right there, 38,264 reported deaths. And not yet. Not once. Has the FDA explained where that number is coming from? Not once are they attempted to explain how it's
Starting point is 00:04:02 possible that none of those have happened from the vaccine, telling us there's no signal. While I can, And our nonprofit has brought lawsuits, winning for the public, the Pfizer data, seeing in the trials themselves that they saw that there were injuries and issues that they lied to the public about. We got you the Moderna data and gave that to the world. We got the B-Safe data, which was the database put together in an app made by the CDC to track vaccine injury. And they fought us for a year in attempting to make that public. And finally we won. But then they held back the open box detailed stuff, which would have contained all the issues of blood clotting and, you know, thrombocytopoeia and heart swelling and myocarditis and periocarditis.
Starting point is 00:04:50 And eventually after a year fighting for what is supposed to be ours as the owners of this government, as the rulers of this government, it's in the hands of the people of, for and by the people. Everything the FDA is done is owned by citizens, yet they have been gaslighting us, blocking us, sending us redacted information when we finally win it after a year in court. Thank you, by the way, for every one of you that's been supporting the high wire the most successful and ICANN, the most successful nonprofit ever when it comes to winning lawsuits against the government of the United States on issues like this, especially on transparency in science and medicine. Well, all of that, this incredible journey we've been on with you with the High Wire ever since 2017, and for every parent out there that has witnessed this incredible, horrific experience of your child regressing either into autism or all sorts of other autoimmune and neurological disease crises that are on skyrocketing as every new vaccine has been added to the schedule. Now, a person that's listened to you, one of my best friends in the world, Robert Kennedy Jr., your voice has been heard.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And now the government is going to be representing your voice. The regulatory agency of the United States of America is now led by a man that recognizes that vaccine injury is real. And we are about to spend fortunes investigating why it's happening, who it's happening to, how we stop it from happening. And we're going to look at the safety trials, what happened on the safety trials of these products. Were they proper safety trials? Can you avoid doing a placebo trial and call a product safe? All of that is going to be in the public eye for the first time in history. For over 30 hours, Democrats tried to filibuster, screaming, ranting and raving,
Starting point is 00:06:53 trying to stop this story from coming forward, trying to ignore the reality of vaccine injury. But today, the vote went down like this. The Senate will come to order. Under the previous order, the Senate will proceed to executive session to resume in consideration of the following nomination which the clerk will report. Nomination, Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., of California to be secretary. When his nomination for the role of secretary of HHS was announced, Mr. Kennedy stated,
Starting point is 00:07:26 we have a generational opportunity to bring together the greatest minds in science, medicine, industry, and government to put an end to the chronic disease epidemic facing Americans. I agree with them. We've got to get into the business of making America healthy again. Mr. Kennedy's dedication to this commitment has been apparent throughout the nomination process. The fact that we're here, right now, that we're even here right now, voting on this wildly unqualified conspiracy theorist to trust with one of the most life or death jobs, HHS Secretary, charged with protecting
Starting point is 00:08:12 the health of every single American should be an affront to every senator. And the millions of Americans that will be impacted by this horrific nomination. Under the previous order, all post-closure time is expired. The question occurs on the Kennedy nomination. Senators voting in the affirmative, Bozeman, Cornyn, Crapo, Ms. Warren, no. Mr. Durbin, no. Mr. Sanders, no. Brasso, I. Mrs. Shaheen, no. On this vote, the yeas are 52.
Starting point is 00:08:48 The nays are 48. The confirmation is confirmed. Well, I am joined right now by Zen Honeycutt, who was in the room with me. And I just thought about, you know, I just had this dramatic conversation with the audience here about the work, some of the real heart of the work we've done around vaccine risk awareness. But you've been on top of food safety such an important issue. What does this mean for people that have been fighting for food safety in this moment? This is amazing.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Actually, we brought the two together when we tested vaccines and found a very common weed killer, the most widely used weed killer in the world, glyphosate in vaccines. So we're all in this together. And this is amazing because Kennedy has been a proponent for regenerative organic agriculture and for getting pesticides out. And he sued Monsanto. He has been working for decades to get these toxins out of our environment, out of our food. He has been fearlessly putting his life on the line for us and for our children.
Starting point is 00:09:51 So, I mean, this is just a historic day. It's amazing. And I want to thank the High Wire. You guys have been the beacon of truth and hope for people. You were there when no other mainstream media outlet was going to say what you said. So thank you so much, Del, and to your team and all the moms out there who have been speaking up and marching and support, you know, going to all your rallies and all around. This is it. This is our time.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yeah. This is our time. And all the work that all these moms that have done, I just want to. to say the ones especially with vaccine damage children or that lost their children, they spoke up fearlessly for the sake of strangers and their babies sacrificing their personal relationships. Most of people, a lot of people I know, lost their sister or their brother, like they won't talk to them anymore, right, because of their views. They sacrificed their personal relationships, just as Kennedy has done.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Many of his family members won't talk to him. So this is really a movement of compassion is what I see and bravery. Yeah. I turned to my brother, Shad, who was in the room, and I just said, as we're sitting there watching every Democrat vote against Robert Kennedy Jr. And having grown up as Democrats from Boulder, Colorado, I just said the Democratic Party is voting against our way of life, which was all about natural health. Today, they just seated the entire natural health movement over to the Republican Party. I don't even know how they're going to survive it. I don't understand how they've allowed this to happen.
Starting point is 00:11:19 I don't know when they became in bed with the chemical companies, with the pharmaceutical companies, when they left science, when they left proper safety trials, safety testing. You know, it's just, it was shocking. I was stunned to see some of the senators that spoke up for GMO labeling, voting flat out, no. I mean, this is, how could you switch like that?
Starting point is 00:11:42 These are the same companies that are poisoning our food supply are allowing these toxins. to our vaccines, how can you say that that's okay? What happened to children first, safety first, health first, that's what we want to see. And we're not saying that these companies shouldn't be selling products, you know, the vaccine companies or the chemical companies, sell what you want, but make them safe. Or you're going to have a tidal wave of moms coming after you. That's exactly it.
Starting point is 00:12:09 You know, one of the things I've been saying to the press is I've been doing interviews over the last couple weeks. You know, they're like, well, what's Robert Kennedy Jr. really going to be able to do? And I say, well, Red Dye No, 3 was finally banned after 10 years. Like, well, he's not in. I was like, no, but that's the point. It's just his coming. And it's not even him. He doesn't, you know, it's not that he's there. It's that he represents the people. And I said this at the beginning of his campaign. When Robert Kennedy Jr. walks into the Capitol, of course, at the moment, I was thinking as president, I said, but he will be representing that the voice the people have finally been heard and that's what's happening is the pressure that the the nation and especially the nation's
Starting point is 00:12:49 mothers who you have been rallying Bonnie Hari too many I mean we could go on this list of really incredible moms out there that just said enough is enough we are tired of being poisoned why is there why is there food here like Kellogg's fruit loops with chemicals there we know are endocrine disrupting cancer causing that aren't in the same product in other countries 10,000 food additives that the FDA got grass voluntary. They made the generally recognized as safe program voluntary, 1997 Dell. It's the wild, wild west of food additives right now. Food companies can put whatever they want in these foods, and our children are the victims.
Starting point is 00:13:26 They're the ones with the rash and the irritability and the mental health issues and the stomach issues. It is enough is enough right now. It is a new era. It is the end of this chemical era right now, starting today with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. you're in the head of HHS. It was amazing. Every Democrat had their talking point, you know, that he's just radically unqualified for this job.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And I think about him, Javier Barbara, a lawyer that, like, you know, bump on the log was any better. And by the way, and like, he's going to be dangerous to the health of Americans. We have the sickest nation in the world. And he's a 35-year environmental lawyer. He sued the companies and the corporations 500 times to get these toxins out of our environment. Who else would you want to head up the HHS? What's in the products, he's about to be regulating.
Starting point is 00:14:15 And how the corporations work. Yes, and how they win the lawsuits and how they're getting away with it and how they're not doing their trials. He has stood in courtrooms for months going over the date of how they skip the safety trials. This guy knows more about safety trials and how they're being done in the United States of America than anyone that's ever had this job. Shame on every single Democrat who voted against him. This is egregious. Yeah, you will be remembered. They will be remembered.
Starting point is 00:14:39 as sort of the last shills for big ag, big food, big pharma, you know. And as you said, nothing wrong with those companies long as they're going through proper safety trials, as long as there's not some revolving door where you're leaving the Senate and going to work for any of those industries. But it is, this is a day that will be remembered forever. It is. I want to acknowledge the Republicans that voted for them too, because some of these Republicans did take money from Big Pharma and Big Ag. But they decided to not just vote for party lines, but for health first. And that I really want to acknowledge them.
Starting point is 00:15:14 This is something that, you know, needs to be remembered as well. And to all Republicans that, you know, just over the last couple of years, I think COVID was really an eye-opener. Should have been an eye-opener for, it should have been a bipartisan eye-opening experience. But to all those Republicans that suddenly embraced, wait a minute, you know, a free market. If you want to take vitamins, if you want to eat natural food, you don't. want chemicals and your products, you know, we want to stand for your ability to find those products and to make sure that things are safe. So just a real transformation happening in this country around politics. It's stunning. Yeah. People can change. People's perspectives can
Starting point is 00:15:51 change. I mean, it's been topsy-turvy now. It's all over the place. So, but personal choice and empowerment and you speaking up for people to be brave. I want to speak. I want to echo that with companies. We want companies that won't just try to get away. with selling us toxic products. We want them to lead the way in health. That's a good business plan as when you have a long-term viable product that is safe. And come on now, vaccines could be made safer, possibly, maybe.
Starting point is 00:16:23 And pesticides could definitely be made safer. There are pesticides out there that are non-toxic, and that's what needs to be utilized in our farms. And our science should be focusing on that. We shouldn't be on decades-old archaic products. And by the way, like no liability, to have no liability on a product that has all the side effects that you read on that label is crazy. Yes, absolutely crazy. But let's get into the reason why we really have you here.
Starting point is 00:16:49 How is this going to affect, you know, taking chemicals out of food? What will it mean when the head of our regulatory agencies and all the people that he's brought in? I've had conversations with Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Marty McAry and Dave Weldon, all of these. incredible human beings are focused now on ending the chronic disease epidemic, which they see as an environmental attack. What are they going to do about it? What are they going to do about things
Starting point is 00:17:19 that are like staples in our world like it's Girl Scout cookie time? The Girl Scouts called and said, Bill, it's that time of year again. It's officially Girl Scout Cookie Time. It's Girl Scout Cookie Time. It's Girl Scout Cookie Time. It's Girl Scout. Cookout cookie time.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Cookies, cookies, cookies. Cookies arrive by the truck load today. Scores of girls fan out across the nation. Would you like to buy a box a Girl Scout cookies? Girl Scouts all over the USA will be taking orders for chocolate chunk cookies, thin mince and peanut butter creams. Brand new pecan shorties.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Savannah smiles, Samoa's tag alongs. And my personal fave, thin mince. You're not a fan of the thin. I do not like the thin mince either. I don't like mint and chocolate together. Obviously, you're not a merit. How many did you sell last year? 2,500.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I'm also working towards the career record of 100,100 boxes. Selling cookies to serve your community, an idea that's as fresh today as it was a century ago. You're investing in your community through a girl. And you're getting a great box of cooking. Yes, Zen, you're going to make me do this. Like when you reached out to us, you're like, you know, we took a look at Girl Scout cookies.
Starting point is 00:18:44 I was like, there's nothing sacred, there's nothing sacred. I know. I'm so sorry. Everybody, your Girl Scout cookies, well, GMO science, Dr. Michelle Parrell, 45-year pediatrician brought this to us. And we said, yes, we need to partner on this. Because everybody loves Girl Scout cookies and we'll pay attention to this. That's what we need to do is raise awareness. And we want what the Girl Scouts are selling to be wholesome and safe.
Starting point is 00:19:08 And we potentially, you know, our ultimate ultimate goal here, is to have them do a badge, which would be about regenerative organic agriculture, which is the solution to this. I'm sure we'll get into it. But the Girl Scout cookies, it's a problem, Del. So what's the problem? So what did we do? How do we find out there's a problem? Just, you know, what is the process? We tested 13 different types of cookies from 25 states, and those were, I believe it was California, Iowa, and, sorry, one other states on our website, moms across America.org. And they were 100% positive for glyphosate dell at alarming levels and 100% positive for heavy metals.
Starting point is 00:19:48 And over 88% of them had all five of the toxic metals that we tested for, which is aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead. And some of these toxic metals, I mean, pretty much, almost all of them, can leave permanent lifetime damage. And so this is extremely, you know, disturbing. And it's not just the Girl Scout cookies. widespread across the nation. We just want to point out that it is in the Girl Scout cookies as well. Right. And some of these levels, like for instance, over 80% of the Girl Scout cookies had levels of lead
Starting point is 00:20:21 that were higher than what the EPA allows. And the aluminum was anywhere up to 300 times higher than what is supposed to be, people are supposed to be exposed to. And we honestly don't know where, I'm sure you're going to ask like, where is this coming from? But we do suspect that the aluminum, because it was such high levels, it was parts per million, like 29,000 parts per billion, so 29 parts per million, we're suspecting geoengineering because aluminum is sprayed through trying to manipulate the clouds to create rain. So we're not sure, but further testing needs to be done on that. We hope that. Something is dumping down on the plants themselves and then it's just getting harvested. And when you look at wheat with glyphosate, and one of the things that's so interesting
Starting point is 00:21:06 about that is it's not actually even used technically as a weed killer. It's being used as a desiccant. So it's the last thing is to dry out to kill the wheat so you can harvest it early before there's any snow or anything. So it's the last thing just coated all over the wheat. Then it's ground up. And I think one of the things, we haven't talked about it for a while, but glyphosate, I mean there's so many things that's wrong with it.
Starting point is 00:21:30 It's carcinogenic to begin with, which Robert Kennedy Jr. One of huge case, obviously, against Monsanto and more going on. but it's an antibiotic. And I think this is what people just are not thinking about. When you're trying to end the chronic disease epidemic, more and more neurological issues, autoimmune disease, we know that your gut biome, your gut health is so critical to your overall health, your immune system. And if you get a leaky gut where now toxins aren't, you're supposed to have sort of a coated stomach. So if you get aluminum, it goes right through.
Starting point is 00:22:04 But once you have a leaky gut, now it's getting into your body. body it's getting into your bloodstream and that's what's happening when you have antibiotics killing the good bacteria in your stomach so I mean it's just one of the cookies but your bread so many of these things we're constantly eating antibiotics that are destroying the the gut health of children and adults across this country and we're like why do we have the sickest kids in the world you hit the nail in the head if you weaken your immune system you're gonna have sicker kids and also when you disrupt the gut microbiome you're going to have
Starting point is 00:22:36 more mental health issues and you're also going to affect the hormones and we have a mental health, physical health and reproductive health crisis in America today and glyphosate is the major contributing factor because of the many ways that it functions. One is antibiotic, one is a key later, it makes our food nutrient deficient. At Dell, we just had an ag advisory, Michael McNeil just told us that the exposure, drift level exposure of glyphosate onto a plant, that means 140th of the regular amount can decrease the nutrient uptake in the shoot of a plant by 80 to 95 percent. Just drift. So our American farmers, if any glyphosate is being used, are growing junk food, food that has 10 percent, about 10 percent less nutrients than it should have. So not only is this
Starting point is 00:23:27 glyphosate and the heavy metals, you know, a major problem in our Girl Scout cookies, but if we were able to do further nutrient testing, not just on Girl Scout cookies, but across the board, we would find severely nutrient deficient food that Americans are eating. And that's part of the reason why people are getting obese, because they're starving of nutrients. So their bodies are, they're driven to eat more. And then, of course, the process food is made to be addictive. So we know exactly why we have a health crisis in America. And thank goodness that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is, you know, he's clued into a lot of this, and so he's going to be looking more closely at the science and we're going to be doing something about this. In the meantime, we would
Starting point is 00:24:09 urge the Girl Scouts to do what they originally intended to do, which was to bake your own cookies with Grandma and Mom. Learn how to make your own cookies. Do your own Girl Scout cookie sale, bake sale. Is that how it started? Does it start is just like, you know, as a home-ac moment, let's learn how to cook and then go out and learn how to sell those cookies that you made. Exactly, exactly. And then big companies said, oh, let's bank on this and let's have, you know, have you sell the cookies basically for us. And now it's an $800 million business. What? 200 million cookie boxes are sold each year.
Starting point is 00:24:45 800 million dollars. Yes. These CEOs make anywhere from 750 to 450,000 top CEOs, dozens of them. And what we did from the math, now this may not be entirely accurate, but from the math, we found on the internet out of the 800 million, you divide that up times the numbers of Girl Scouts. There are each Girl Scouts getting about $35 for all of their effort and their energy. You know, it doesn't go directly to them.
Starting point is 00:25:09 It goes to their troop to invest in their programs. We don't think that's fair. We think the Girl Scout group can do better. It's a child labor. You have a corporation sending these little girls out to sell this toxic, you know, these toxic cookies. It's so sad. And speaking of children, there was a beautiful little girl,
Starting point is 00:25:27 Alicia Serados, who back maybe 10 years ago, yeah, she's adorable, she petitioned the Girl Scouts for non-GMO cookies. She just says, we want one version of a non-GMO cookie. And she got, I think it was 47,000 or 50,000 something signatures on this petition. That's not a small feat. She was about nine years old.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And then she actually got an appointment with the Girl Scouts in New York, flew from California to New York, and in this movie, need to grow. They show her in the lobby waiting and they refused to meet her. It looked like she was going to cry. That I just think is reprehensible. And it's something that the Girl Scouts really need to take a look at is how they interact with the public on this
Starting point is 00:26:14 and the responsibility that they can choose to take on. They can do, for instance, a regenerative organic badge where they educate the girls on the importance of farming and non-toxic farming and nutrient density. and their girls could lead the way in this health revolution in America and be leaders for change and for health and for safety. So I'm hoping the Girl Scouts will take that on. I think so, and I think it would be a great, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:39 teachable learning moment as the Girl Scouts right now watch as they transform, this is what the cookies used to have in them. Now we've got Robert Kennedy Jr. in there. We're all getting together to make America healthy again. We're changing the product. Imagine what a learning moment that would be for the, you know, future mothers of America and just the amount of health care costs that would save just in that learning moment.
Starting point is 00:27:02 I just want to take a moment very quickly before we move on. Just talk about glypacate because we haven't done it for a while. Just sort of the short story is this. There was an industrial chemical that was being used to clean industrial boilers and pipes. This product glyposate has like almost a magnetic ability to draw all the rust and metal and things that were corroding pipes, it sort of collects it all and would pull it out of those pipes and clean them essentially.
Starting point is 00:27:30 So when Zen was saying a key later, essentially that's what this is. It's sucking all the metals and attracting it taking out of the pipes. What is it doing in your body? All of those healthy minerals that you have is it also collecting those things and pulling them out of your body? But here's what happened.
Starting point is 00:27:50 They've got this industrial pipe cleaner. Someone spilled it on the ground, and it killed everything in sight. And they thought, oh my God, this is a great weed killer. And that's moved on and suddenly we've got this great glyposate weed killer. Then some genius started sitting in a laboratory saying, hey, what if we could change the form of plants and somehow find something that rejects this deadly weed killer and doesn't allow the plant to die?
Starting point is 00:28:17 Then we can have this mutant vegetables and crops that grow up, cover it in this deadly chemical, everything else will die except this mutant product that then will ship off to every, you know, and by the way, it's like 80 to 90% of our crops in America. So when you see GMO, it's not just the fact that it's a mutant product being made that isn't coming from nature in any way, but that it's allowing it to be covered in this deadly chemical. So we have a totally genetically different product than God created on this earth that we're eating covered in this deadly chemical that wipes out everything in sight. And no one can imagine why it could possibly hurt you or cause cancer.
Starting point is 00:29:01 I mean, it only sucks the rust out of pipes and kills everything in sight, and you're eating it every single day. But guess what? They want to make a protection so you don't know about it. So tell me about this. This is crazy when you reached out to us. I cannot believe this is happening. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:29:18 What's happening right now is everybody knows that Bear was. sued, right? And they lost... Bear being, the bear-assbred, bought Monsanto, you know, one of the worst, I think, business decisions. Yes, ever. So they were sued and... Mergers, and law firms and Bobby Kennedy and Michael Baum and Wissner, you know, Miller law firms, all sued 144,000 plaintiffs, won $12 billion. And then also their shareholders, which were really annoyed about this, you know, deal, they sued in one, I think it was another $12 billion. So they sued in one. I think it was another $12 billion. So they, They don't want that to keep happening. So you know what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:29:54 This German, and also they've teamed up with ChemChina, Syngenta, right? Chinese company. So this German and Chinese companies teamed up, and they are now presenting 21 bills, we suspect, where they have seven in states all across the country. And what these bills do is take away the right for farmers, pesticide applicators, backyard gardeners, anybody,
Starting point is 00:30:15 any citizen of that state to sue them. Dell, they want the same immunity as that. vaccine companies have. They don't want to be sued ever again, except it's even worse because they're not going to have a special fund like vaccine damage people have or a special court system. It's just no lawsuits ever. So we have foreign companies pushing, using our civil servants, our state senators, to pass laws to protect them from immunity. This has to stop. On a product that is now lost in court multiple times for having been proven to cause non-Hodgians lymphoma, an issue that they knew it,
Starting point is 00:30:51 when we see their emails, when we have their internal, like all of the conversations they were had, they knew they had this issue. There's proof that they knew. Back in 85. And they're lobbying our politicians to protect them forever. And by the way, I just want everyone to recognize, this is what happened with the vaccine program too. It wasn't because it was just this amazing product. They were losing so much money for death and injury cases. They said, we're going to stop making, you know, these products for you unless you protect us from liability. They scared our senators.
Starting point is 00:31:20 But here's what's so shocking. Get a different product, as you said. Reformulate. Make a different herbicide. Instead of all that money you're spending on lawsuits, how about spending that on reformulation? That's all you need to do. I mean, we can't change it.
Starting point is 00:31:33 We have to poison you, and so we need to be protected from liability. It's really horrific that we live in a country that thinks like this. And there are other nations, right, that don't allow glyphosate is that right? Oh, there's 60 other countries around the world that have restricted or banned.
Starting point is 00:31:49 How do they eat? How are they able to make food without this deadly chemical? How do organic farmers and regenerative organic and biodynamic farmers farm? You can farm without glyphosate. We have to stop it with this hogwash, that it's an essential tool. We need to transition to the non-toxic farming. And there are, I believe, Kistagrown says 30 million acres that are being transformed to regenerative. We want it to eventually be regenerative organic, which means no glyphosate and no toxic
Starting point is 00:32:11 chemicals at all. But we're on our way to that. Is that a term just because I get asked this a lot? Like, is organic the best thing I can do? Is regenerative? And organic together. Is there a label that says regenerative organic? Oh, yes, there is.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Regenerative Organic certified. Absolutely, yes. Now, it's small right now, but we want people to keep asking for it and keep requesting it to be in your stores, absolutely. How important is it for people to buy organic? How does that put pressure on, because I'm always saying you vote with your dollars? Well, first of all, since we started Moms Across America, the organic, and I'm not saying it's all us, but we've had a part in this, the organic industry has grown from 20 billion
Starting point is 00:32:47 to 70 billion a year. So buying organic shifts the marketplace and sends the message to the food producers that we don't want to have this anymore. But I have to go back to the pesticide companies again for one second. So it's a two-pronged approach. One is they're going through the states and they're trying to take away our rights. And by the way, if one bill passes, they're going to use that to pass federally for across.
Starting point is 00:33:09 So we cannot let even one bill to pass. So our call to action on moms across America. Because they'll say, right, well, I mean, we can't have this monkey system where they're allowed to grow there. That's not fair for us. That's what they did with GM only. We can't have a patchwork system, so they will use it to pass federally. So we have to stop every bill.
Starting point is 00:33:25 We've killed Wyoming already. And next up is Mississippi, Iowa, Tennessee, Florida, and there's several more. Nebraska, we're very concerned about. There's more on our website. So please go to Moms Across America.org. And you can call no matter what state you're from. We've got the petition up right here. You can scan that QR code.
Starting point is 00:33:42 This is the second one. Oh, this is a second one. This is a petition. They're trying to cover all their bases. And this petition, the state's, that the the the the label is the law and so that the federal label that you know the EPA federal label will negate any state and local pesticide regulations so if your state like New York that banned POE round up 40 years ago that will go away
Starting point is 00:34:08 because the EPA because EPA label the federal one is the law and also if you sign up for a pesticide notification for spraying in your community because your kid is chemically sensitive that will go away If you worked hard, if you spent thousands of hours to get your school to stop spraying glyphosate around, that will go away. Dell, we've had 100,000 people download the document on our website that's 10 alternatives to round up. That means at least tens of thousands of people, at least maybe half of them, right? Have tried to get glyphosate out of their city and their towns. And there's places like Miami and Sedona and I believe, you know, lots of cities in California that have banned it.
Starting point is 00:34:47 those laws would all go away. So we need to stop this we have until February 20th to comment on that EPA petition and tell them that they do not have the jurisdiction to take away local and state rights. And this is where the EPA is obviously fast-tracked products through. So the industry is basically saying, since the EPA is allowed it on the market,
Starting point is 00:35:09 they're saying it's safe. Yes. They're saying it's safe. That should protect us across the entire country. Exactly. Did the EPA do real safety studies? Have they come out unequivocally and said this is a perfectly safe product and should be sprayed on everything you eat. In fact, if you want to brush your teeth with it in the morning, we highly recommend that.
Starting point is 00:35:27 That's a great question. In our fourth visit with the EPA, because our moms have harangued them, like 10,000 moms have called the EPA when we found glyphosate and breast milk. Well, in one of the visits, I asked the Pesticide Review Board Director, do you have any long-term animal studies with blood analysis on the final formulation of Roundup? He said, which one? There's hundreds of variations. I said any of them. He said no. I love it when they ask which one,
Starting point is 00:35:53 and then when you say any of them, well, yeah, none of them. Then why ask me which difference is what they're saying? How is that safe, though, right? And then in addition, they cherry pick. They ignored 67 of the studies that the International Agency for Research on Cancer reviewed and found glyphosate to be carcinogenic.
Starting point is 00:36:10 REPA did not look at any of those. They ignored them. That's, by the way, and people keep asking me, What's Robert Kennedy Jr. going to do? That's one thing I know for sure he's going to do, which is you're no longer as an industry or a regulatory agency allowed to just pick the trials. Cherry-picking. You know, cherry-pick the ones that gave you a favorable outlook.
Starting point is 00:36:29 We're going to see it all. And you can make arguments. You can say, well, those 20 weren't done right, and here's why. We're going to have to defend it. And the entire country is going to see it. Here it is, folks. Here's all the failed trials, not just the ones that got them the – because they're allowing this.
Starting point is 00:36:44 They're allowing an industry to keep running. trials, let's change how we do it, let's change how we do it. Oh, we finally figured out a way to run a trial that make the product look safe. And that's the only one the public sees. That's the only one that gets printed. It's the only one the EPA looks at. Those days are over. I mean, that's transparency and science.
Starting point is 00:36:59 That's scientific integrity. And that's why Bobby Kennedy is the most qualified person to be in that role right now. So let's bring it up. You got to, you know, this is one of the most active audiences there is out there. folks, you need to get this petition, get in there and say, I absolutely reject this. We cannot allow an EPA to determine the fate of the entire nation. And by the way, this is a state's rights issue. It should be a city issue. It should be a block issue. I should know if something is being sprayed on my block. Absolutely. Part of what you got you into this is you have a child that's
Starting point is 00:37:36 fairly sensitive to. Yes. Yes. Yes. I have three sons, and all of them have had autoimmune issues, one had autism symptoms, asthma. One almost died from food on Thanksgiving from a pecan and the stuffing. Now all of them, and they did have vaccines, but the one that's the least vaccinated and ate the most organic food is the one with the least health issues. So go figure with that. But yeah, my kids were exposed to these chemicals and, you know, it's time that this stops. You said something, are there people to get a warning when they are spraying?
Starting point is 00:38:07 You can, in many places. How do you that? So you contact your, I believe, it's your county commissioner or your parks and wrecks and you can sign up for a 24-hour pesticide notification. Not every state may have this, but many do. And you can sign up to be notified 24 hours in advance if they're going to spray, which is very important if you want to protect you. I mean, DEL, pets are affected by this. 50% of dogs have cancers now that they never had before. It is Roundup. I'm telling you right now, it's Roundup that's being sprayed on the sidewalks
Starting point is 00:38:36 and the parks and the playgrounds. So you want it all pet lovers out there, you should be pet lovers, you love your pet you should be taking action on this too zen you are one of the warrior moms we're calling the maha moms yeah um you have just been a voice of reason really for moms for so long i mean this moment right now does it feel like you know does it feel like there's a change coming that there's there's this support coming it feels like um finally all the work that we've done and are, you know, millions of moms across the country and dads have done is finally coming to fruition. Mostly moms.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Mostly moms, yeah. And I'm so grateful. You know, I'm so grateful for all of the support that people have given moms across America, you and the tireless, I mean, there are moms out there who have read more science than most doctors probably, I know, and who have, you know, petitioned and called and just spent so much time online sharing this with people so generously.
Starting point is 00:39:45 They're the most amazing people I've ever met, all across the country and around the world, by the way. We've got supporters in Japan and New Zealand, Australia, Europe. This is an unstoppable movement. And it really, at this point, I don't want to say it doesn't matter. But even if Trump and Kennedy aren't able to do what we want them to do, this is an unstoppable movement. We have collaborated with groups. We've got groups working on school.
Starting point is 00:40:09 lunches, we're going to be working on that together, hopefully. Yeah. You know, we've got farming solutions that will blow your mind. Go to our mom's connect call for the first of the month in January. Mind-blowing solutions for farming, non-toxic, boost nutrient density. We've got people working on children's studies, coming together, studies on children with autism that eat organic. All kinds of things that are happening right now. There's a whole group that's basically creating a new NIH, you know, 25 scientists that are getting together
Starting point is 00:40:35 once a month in D.C. to protect children from toxic chemicals. It's called the Institute for Preventative Health. This is happening right now all across the country. And Democrats and Republicans and people from any parties, they're all going to benefit from this. When we get these neurotoxins out of our food supply, endocrine disruptions, you know, cancer-causing, liver disease causing. When we get these out of the food, you're not only going to be healthier, you're going
Starting point is 00:40:59 to be happier too, no matter what party you're from. Incredible Zen, thank you for taking the time. Thank you, I so appreciate it. This is so great to be sharing this incredible moment. you. You know, as Zen talked about, the high wire has been one of the places where, you know, warriors of all sizes and race and issues have come to state their issues. Scientists that are calling out whistleblowers, this has been that venue that you've been tuning into and getting the information firsthand. It's a triumphant moment right now, but it would not
Starting point is 00:41:33 be possible without you. I think about the Margaret Meade quote, never doubt that a small group of passionate individuals can change the world because indeed it's the only thing that ever has. That's you. We just pulled off a miracle today. Not Bobby Kennedy by himself, not Del Batesree, not Zen Honeycutt. Every one of you that has been talking to your friends, has been sharing videos, has been sharing websites like moms across America, we, you know, that rising tide lifts all boats, we
Starting point is 00:42:02 lifted all the boats and just made history today for the first time ever. An environmentalist that cares about what's in our air, our water, our food, our drugs, our vaccines, is now in the most important job in the entire world. But we are not going to stop here. There is so much work. And by the way, believe it or not, Robert Kennedy Jr. needs us to continue bringing FOIA requests and lawsuits against the government. And guess who we're going to be suing?
Starting point is 00:42:31 It's going to be really trippy. It's going to be a lawsuit against HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. Only now we think we're not going to get redacted documents when we win. This guy's going to make sure that you see everything. And so that pressure is how we got here. It's how we're going to finish this job. It's how we're going to transform our world. It's how we're going to get the chemicals out of our world and become the healthiest nation in the world.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Robert Kennedy Jr. has two years, he said, to pull that off. That Donald Trump's giving him two years to show that he can reverse the chronic disease epidemic. Well, it's going to take all of us. working together. It's going to take, I can't continue to do that work. So I hope you will donate to this incredible work. We've proven what we can do when we put our minds to it. Let's not give up now. So for a 2025, we're asking for $25 a month, becoming a recurring donor. That helps us know how many lawsuits we can take on, what we can do. And by the way, some of those lawsuits are personal. We bought and, you know, one for the military. And thank God we kept a lot of the military,
Starting point is 00:43:36 kept their jobs. We're going to make it easy for you. Just type in the word donate and text 7202 and we'll give you a link. We are trying to make more content. We want to benefit those of you that really engage, that vote with your dollars, that are supporting the work that we're doing. And so we've created High Wire Plus. And this week we have a brand new episode of Jeffrey Jackson investigates. It's super fascinating. Talk about a world. We just discussed it. The mental health crisis that, again, is the highest in America compared to everywhere else in the world. Why are we having so many issues? Well, Jeffrey got to the bottom of it, and it's coming out this week. Take a look at this. Mental health. Mental health crisis.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Regardless of your gender or how you identify, mental health is important. mental health is affecting all of us. A recent CDC study finds American teens are in a mental health crisis. What do you say to someone who is happy with what they do, lives a fulfilled life, exercises, and is still depressed? Government's top doctor is warning about the effects of TikTok and other such sites on young people. The way that your brain functions as a physical matter can be changed to make you more controllable. We're in a mental health crisis, right?
Starting point is 00:45:03 mental health crisis right now. Mental immune system is deteriorating even faster than ever. We're messing around with something we really don't fully understand. There's loads of patients I've had who say, look, I've been on opiates in the past. I think it often has to try it's harder. What was mental health leading into the COVID pandemic? It was really bad. Things were falling apart before COVID from somewhere around 2008, 2009, to 2010.
Starting point is 00:45:30 The rates at which people from their teens, the edge of tertiary were saying that things weren't right. I'm seeing more patients that kind of just can't handle life. The resilience is not. Yes. For campus, it's actually the center of our mental immune system. Its function is to maintain our psychological resilience. The WHO said depression was basically one of the largest causes of not being able to work.
Starting point is 00:45:53 I ended up being an insider with people from the pharmaceutical companies. The SSRI group of drugs, they're only antidepressants from a marketing point of view. And the famously Prozac here in America was one of the biggest blackbuster drugs of all time. That's when I became aware that the SORI could make people suicidal. Well, I'm joined right now by Jeffrey Jackson, in studio here in Washington, D.C., just very quickly, some of the scientists and experts that we rely upon, we have them pre-screen this, and we are just getting rave reviews. People are saying some of this information has really never been given to the public in this way. Do you ever get nervous?
Starting point is 00:46:41 I mean, you are covering, you are going into the deep, dark, secret places that have been hidden really for decades. Not at all. I mean, I geek out on the information, so it's fun, and I know what's riding on getting this information out. I mean, we've been a testament to hear at the Highwire about the change that can happen when, you know, scary information gets out there or hopeful information gets out there. And we were sitting here because of that in respect. So it was really cool because I got to talk to Dr. David Healy. He's written 25 books. He has over 250 peer-review papers.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And he is a pharmacologist, a researcher, a scientist who did the early work on the serotonin system for some of these drug companies. And that's the system in your body that these SSRIs work on. And he said, look, we really don't know what this thing does. And these companies were looking, and they were looking at SSRIs for maybe heart disease. And they just happen to settle upon mental health for these SSRIs. And he then turned as he turned into a whistleblower against these companies. He got access to all their data. And he said, I'm seeing stuff in there that the public doesn't know.
Starting point is 00:47:49 And that's what we talk about in this episode. It's absolutely mind-blowing. And then we go into solutions because this has been a mental health crisis that was already kind of ramping up. We've talked about that. And then COVID just supercharged it. And here we are. We need real answers. So in part two, I talked to Carlos Tanner.
Starting point is 00:48:05 He's run one of the longest running nonprofit organizations on plant medicine. And he's working with the Heroic Hearts Project and some of the leading medical professionals in the world to do research around that, showing that it changes genetically. For PTSD, it helps these soldiers that don't really have the Veterans Associations that are not really giving them these big choices that they can even get in there. They're finding genetic changes, not just covering the symptoms or masking them. They're real changes and super hopeful for this new paradigm. Super exciting. Well, this is a very unique day. Right behind you is the White House that's a live shot.
Starting point is 00:48:46 And as it turns out, the reason we've sort of flipped this whole show around, as you know, is I have been invited to go into the Oval Office here literally just within the next hour to watch Robert Kennedy Jr. get sworn in. So I'm going to hand over the lead seat here and let you finish out with the Jack All right, wonderful. So very... Let's throw two, it's time for the Jackson Report. All right, ladies and gentlemen, there he goes.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Del Bigtree on his way to the White House to help confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Camtoo as Secretary of HHS. So there goes Del Bigtree. As we're speaking, this is going to be happening right now. Historic Day. It's an honor to be here in Washington where literally a stones throw away from the White House where this confirmation would be happening. And so I want to keep the momentum going.
Starting point is 00:49:49 This is the Jackson Report on the high wire, and we're going to move right into the information. So we have at the state level, now we know Biden, his parting shot was he gave a pardon to Anthony Fauci for doing nothing. No crimes, just gave the pardon out. And so what is happening right now is that pardon was a federal. pardon, but it doesn't stop state-level legal actions going towards Anthony Fauci, and that's exactly what's happening. So we have 17 state attorneys generals are looking to prosecute Fauci despite pardon. We look at the letter. This letter was given to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and then also Senate Majority Leader John Thune. And we look in here and it's talking about what they're going to be investigating. This is kind of just a heads up for those guys saying, hey, we're coming after this gentleman, Anthony Fauci, for accountability.
Starting point is 00:50:40 not give this up on the American people. And so they're talking in this letter and they say, to say we are troubled by the scope and timing of the pardon on the heels of the subcommittee's final report would be a gross understatement to ensure that former President Biden's shameful pardon does not frustrate accountability. We urge Congress to consider using all available tools at its disposal. As you are aware, a pardoned by former President Biden does not extend to preclude state-level investigations or legal proceedings. And a Of course, they're looking at that pardon there. I'm sorry, they're looking at those legal proceedings there for Fauci's role in really hiding some of the potential origins of COVID, possibly also to the, speaking, to hiding those to the Congress and also his efforts to obfuscate vaccine, the push on the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:51:32 A lot of medical professionals were questioning that push before it came out, and they were kind of pushed to the side, J. Badacharya, among them. people in the Great Barrington Declaration, obviously Fauci led one of the hit pieces on them. So all this is being looked at. This is super momentous and it's positive because we must, we really must have accountability if it's there, if justice, it's going to be served as, if nothing else, a lesson to future people in positions of power. So now we're going to move on to really a pledge for this next story. And if people don't remember this, it was in 2020, there was no vaccine available for COVID. And pharmaceutical companies who really do, didn't have a lot of integrity in the public's eye generally, came out and said, we are going to
Starting point is 00:52:15 make you a promise. They said, vaccine makers, nine of them, sign a safety pledge in the race for COVID-19 vaccine. Safety pledge, transparency. We're going to do it all right because we trust you with the world's eyes on us. Well, if we want to take a look at that safety pledge, we go to Moderna's website and where to go? It's not there anymore. That's right. It's been memory hold. The pledge is gone. You were taken for a ride. And as we know, all the work we've done here, we've shown how hard it has been to get transparency and data we've had ICAN, sue these manufacturers to get the data of Pfizer trying to install for 75 years to get this data. And so what's happening right now is there's a move at the state level to ban MRNA technology.
Starting point is 00:53:03 And this is happening in several states. Montana has just left committee. It's now going to the House for a vote, for my understanding. We have Idaho as well. And why are people doing this? So if you're watching the show for the first time, you're saying Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Maybe you'll check out what the high wire is doing.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Well, here's the Open VERS reporting. This is the vaccine adverse event reporting system. These are all the COVID-19 alerts that people, doctors and citizens, have filed. Now I want to show people one part of this, particularly the deaths. 38,264 have been reported. Now remember, there's two sides to VERS. One side was verifiable. Harvard Pilgrim did a study and they said less than, they automated VERS. They said less than 1% of actual adverse events are actually being captured. And then the other side, people that are that defend VERS will say, well, it's a passive system. It's not meant to really provide causation.
Starting point is 00:54:02 So, okay, well, it may be if even just a little bit of those 38,000 people actually died because of the COVID shot, we have a problem. And this is the conversation that a lot of, that's happening in state houses across America right now, and it's continuing to do so. And I want to bring people's attention to a study. There's actually a study published in a medical journal analysis. Last month, calls for market removal of COVID-19 vaccines intensify as risks far outweigh theoretical benefits. And there is a chart in here. And this is a fascinating chart, because these are all of the recalls from vaccines and drugs. So look at this.
Starting point is 00:54:38 The Cutter incident was the first one, 1995. It took only 10 deaths for this polio vaccine to be pulled off the market. 1976, the swine flu shot. 53 deaths. It's out of the market. Then we have meridia. It's a weight loss drug, 1997. 94 deaths gone, then post-a-core, heart med, and goes on and on.
Starting point is 00:54:59 But see, Vioxx, you start getting these bigger biocytes. at the bottom. You have Vioxx down there. That's when they pulled that one. It took a couple years for that, obviously. But that huge bar at the bottom, those are the VERS of reporting events for the COVID vaccine deaths. So this is what we're talking about when people say, this is promising technology. Sure it is, but it was rushed out during an emergency use authorization with captured agencies that rubber stamped it. And it's still out there right now. COVID's not a problem. Biden extended the prep act until 2029 to provide legal viability protection to these manufacturers.
Starting point is 00:55:34 So states are moving on their own to do this. This is, for a lot of people, a lot of the public, this is an exciting venture who are dealing with some of these injuries from these vaccines. And so moving from kind of the COVID conversation, because that's beginning to be put into the rearview mirror a little bit, I want to go to really the global battleground as we sit here right now. And that's the fight for free speech and transparency and privacy, public individuals. having their own privacy from their governments
Starting point is 00:56:03 and be able to speak what they want despite what the government wants them to say. We saw a horrible precedent that happened during COVID of censorship across the world and in the United States. And so one of the things that we're talking about here is surveillance. And remember, we had the pharmaceutical companies, all nine of them pledged during COVID vaccine manufacturing
Starting point is 00:56:23 saying we promised to do the right thing. Well, Google is not even giving you lip service. they're throwing it straight in your face. Google erases promise not to use AI technology for weapons and surveillance. So they just omitted that section of their promise. We're just not going to do that anymore because, I don't know, I guess it's such a great market opportunity for weaponization and surveillance and other companies, big AI companies are doing the same thing.
Starting point is 00:56:52 This is something we really have to watch out. The public needs a voice in this conversation. It cannot just be big companies. But now let's go across, because this conversation, is in flux across the world. Let's take a trip around the world to see what's going on. First of all, we'll start in the UK. And this is interesting because this is a Washington Post headline.
Starting point is 00:57:11 This reads something like would have been coming out of alternative media 10 years ago. UK orders Apple to let it spy on users encrypted accounts. It says security officials in the United Kingdom have demanded that Apple create a backdoor allowing them to retrieve all the content any Apple user worldwide has uploaded to the cloud. People familiar with the matter told the Washington Post, the British government's undisclosed order issued last month, undisclosed, it was not disclosed to the public until now because the whistleblowers,
Starting point is 00:57:40 required blanket capability to view fully encrypted material, not merely assistance in cracking a specific account, and it has no known precedent in modern democracies. So we're talking about the blanket removal of encryption, thanks to these nameless whistleblowers. And encryption is just a way to protect your digital data. So, you know, anybody, hackers, or, or governments can't see it.
Starting point is 00:58:02 So they're saying, we want this all gone. And what's interesting about this story, besides the fact that is jaw-dropping authoritarianism through a digital back door, is that we have just two months ago, here in the United States, Chinese hackers breached telecommunications systems. And we have this headline here.
Starting point is 00:58:20 US officials say they still have not expelled Chinese telco hackers. It says US officials said Tuesday, they have not been able to expel Chinese government hackers from telecommunications companies and internet service providers, warning concern users to turn to encrypted messages and voice calls and giving no timeline for securing carriers. They're saying the systems are breached that you're using,
Starting point is 00:58:42 they're still in there, and you need to encrypt what you're doing. And it even goes so far as the CISA, this is the Cybersecurity Agency under Homeland Security. They put out a memo to network administrators. And they literally said in this memo, these administrators should ensure that traffic is end-to-end encrypted, to the maximum extent possible.
Starting point is 00:59:04 So here you have the UK government literally saying, we want zero encryption for users worldwide. And the American side of this is saying maximum encryption for your data because of these hackers. The two do not meet. And this is the conversation we're having. There's this push-pole happening right now. And we know in the UK the government has been frothing
Starting point is 00:59:25 at the mouth to stop citizens' free speech and also to end their private. And we have some of these examples, going back already to 2016. It started early at that point. Arrests for offensive Facebook and Twitter posts soar in London. Hundreds of arrests, 625 arrests for Facebook posts. And then it goes on, this was just last year. We reported on this during some of the unrest there.
Starting point is 00:59:48 UK Police Commissioner threatens to extradite jail. US citizens over online posts will come after you. And then first jail terms, this is BBC, handed down for social media, posts during unrest. Jail terms for a post, that's what's going on in the UK. And so there is a breath of fresh air here because the UK is really going hard in on this, ending the free speech clearly and then also just demanding full access to people's information, which is a violation of human rights at this point. So we have this conversation here. The Trump administration has entered this conversation in a very interesting way. UK willing
Starting point is 01:00:28 to negotiate online harms. This is the telegraph. Online harm laws to avoid Trump tariffs. This is Keir Starmory saying he's prepared to alter the social media safety act to accommodate the U.S. President, and it says his tech bros to secure a favorable trade deal. So it's interesting here because now you have, you know, we had those pictures of like Mark Zuckerberg and all the tech people at the inauguration with Trump. But it's interesting because it seems like they're using those tech personalities that have crawled under the wing of the White House for whatever reason as a bulwark against other countries who are trying to censor speech because of their online safety act like in the UK. So this is an interesting development. And if Trump can leverage
Starting point is 01:01:14 tariffs to get countries to release some of their restrictions on speech, I don't see how that's a bad thing. And so let's move over now to Australia. Australia has the public there has had a hard time during COVID. One of the hardest crackdowns outside of China on the citizens there during the lockdowns and the mandatory vaccinations. They've recently amended a criminal code there. And this is the headlines coming on of Australia. Federal mandatory sentences for terror offenses displaying hate symbols in new hate crimes law pass. And then another one new hate speech bill. A dangerous and arbitrary expansion of state power. It says under previous legislation, prosecutors were required to prove intent, meaning that individuals,
Starting point is 01:01:57 words had to be deliberately aimed at inciting harm. Even that's nebulous. What's harm? However, the newly passed Criminal Code Amendment hate crimes bill 2024 drastically lowers this threshold. Now individuals can be jailed for so-called reckless speech. In other words, if the government deems that your words might lead to violence, even if that was never your intention, you could face criminal prosecution.
Starting point is 01:02:24 This is terrifying. And I don't know how this stands. And I really hope there becomes this kind of groundswell of a movement back to valuing free speech as a global aspect, a cornerstone of human civilization. Because these governments are really becoming somewhat out of control and unhinged. And you think about that. Thoughts inspire language. Language inspires culture. And it goes both ways.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Culture inspires language and thoughts. and for controlling regimes or people in power trying to abuse that power, they can't control thoughts just yet. And their ability to control culture has lessened with a lot of people moving away from corporate media. So where they can drive that stake in hard to try to still have influences right in the middle there in speech. And that's what they're doing. They're trying to narrow speech. So this is super dangerous because it leads the sweeping effects that sweep out from there
Starting point is 01:03:23 are very dangerous for cultures. So now let's go back to America because there's some raise of hope here. And remember just last year, we had the Brazilian Supreme Court. They moved on X, on Elon Musk, and they also moved on the video streaming platform and YouTube competitor, Rumble.
Starting point is 01:03:40 And what they did was they sent takedown orders for specific creators on Rumble. The Supreme Court said, I want you to take these creators down because whatever, we don't like what they say, because they're saying things that we think is unexceptive. Well, in Rumble's defense, they stood for liberty when it was unpopular.
Starting point is 01:03:59 And this is Chris Pablowski. He is the CEO of Rumble, and he took to Twitter at that time. He said, I will not be bullied by foreign government demands to censor Rumble creators. My statement on turning off Brazil. Completely turned it off at that point. If you're a Rumble user in Brazil at that point and you tried to get on Rumble, this is what you saw. Completely gone. Notice to users in Brazil, you're done.
Starting point is 01:04:22 We can't do it because your government does not want you, does not want you to see this information. Well, just recently, Rumble Video Platform, this is a spectacular announcement. This is a ray of hope. Rumble video platform is reactivated in Brazil after more than a year offline. And then just after that announcement, Rumble has announced that the White House is officially having a channel on Rumble. So this YouTube competitor seems to be now running in front of YouTube, especially after to the last five years of what YouTube did to its content creators after they datamine them and they use their consciousness to build their brand. They viciously censored people, including
Starting point is 01:05:03 this show, took us off YouTube for basically doing the reporting we're doing right now. So there's a lot of content creators that are moving to Rumble for good reason right now. And I want to show something that's also hopeful coming out of the current administration that's in the White House. we have perhaps one of the highest government officials in J.D. Vance, the vice president in the United States. Over the last five years, this is some of the strongest rhetoric we have heard from him come out of a government official. Take a listen. The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, we're going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump, who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States.
Starting point is 01:05:48 So what America should be saying is, oh, if NATO wants us to continue supporting them and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don't you respect American values and respect free speech? Excuse me, it's insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn't going to be pro-free speech. I think we can do both, but we've got to say American power comes with certain strings attached. One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Like, look, I'm not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives, but European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech. Now, those were the ideologies. That was from September 11, 2024. So obviously, before he was brought into as vice president. But those are the ideologies that brought people like Vance, like Trump, and now like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., into their positions,
Starting point is 01:06:45 is this kind of genuflecting to the Constitution, this showing that there are ideals that we must stand by. It's interesting because Vance is saying there, we're going to leverage our military alliances around free speech, our ability to collaborate with NATO around free speech. These are gigantic words and gigantic ideas. And if this can hold through, I think we're seeing, I think we're seeing like the dawn of something really beautiful here.
Starting point is 01:07:15 And this is one of the things that a lot of people are hoping for. So I want to move on now to USAID. So we're going to stick with the US government here, but we're going to go to this aspect. And now, over the last week, we've been discovering the excess government waste. The US AIID has been involved in with their international funding. We've also discovered how there's this inter-network
Starting point is 01:07:35 of media organizations around the world that are pushing similar narratives funded by USAID, especially in Ukraine and other countries. But I want to bring people's attention to an aspect that I don't know if a lot of the public knows. And it starts with a 1982 memo from this agency, USAID, and it's literally called, it's a policy paper on population assistance. And they say USAID policy governing the use of agency funds for sterilization
Starting point is 01:08:00 provides that the USAID funds can only be used to support voluntary sterilization activities if the following six conditions are met. And they go on to say, you know, we have to give informed consent, you can't pay people to do this, there has to be other available, options for them. They have to have the best medical treatment available for them. And these are kind of pie in the sky ideas. But when you start, you start using government funds and you're literally in your policy paper and talking about sterilizing foreign, the people of foreign countries, this gets into a very slippery slope. And this is exactly what happened.
Starting point is 01:08:36 The slope was slipped and fallen and people slipped off it. This was in the late 90s going into 2000. And here is the headline. The U.S. The U.S. government led a program that forcibly sterilized thousands of Peruvian women. It says an unsettling aspect of the entire Peruvian campaign is the involvement in the U.S. government. The specific agencies that were involved in Peru sterilization campaign were the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, the United Nations Population Fund, and the Nippon Foundation, a Japanese nonprofit. It is known that UNFPA donated 10 million for the forced sterilization campaign. And we have some media that came out at that time, investigations, a journalist showing investigations into this. Take a look.
Starting point is 01:09:21 In recent years, journalist Melissa Goitizolo has reopened the story, gathering new accounts of forced sterilizations from women around the country. I didn't know the magnitude of the case and that it had occurred in all corners of Peru. There's too many sterilized women who lived through the same patterns in the coast, mountains, and in the jungle. It was directed towards poor indigenous women who couldn't read and write, many with a very low level of education. Goetizolo uncovered documents, including this 1997 letter from a regional health official to a hospital director. It announced a campaign to carry out 250 sterilizations over a four-day period in coordination with the National Family Planning Program. Now, it's thought there's over 200,000 people that were affected by these four-state. sterilizations in Peru, mostly women. And this is obviously a bombshell story. Because we hear
Starting point is 01:10:20 stories about, you know, in India, Bill Gates is brought up on criminal charges, potentially. We hear these stories or even in Africa and Kenya, we hear about sterilization programs. But to try to really stamp down the facts on that, it becomes a little slippery. This is, this is factual. This actually happened. And so this gives a window into some of the things that USAID has funded and this is one that we kind of know about as as an international community and it's even to the point where the united nations human rights commission said this Fujimoro that was their president at the time who actually served jail time alberto fuji morro's government's forced sterilization policy violated women's rights u.n committee says in landmark ruling so this this
Starting point is 01:11:05 happened and this is an ugly an ugly part of american funding USAID was doing in populations across the world in Peru especially here. And so I want to expand this conversation a little bit. We go to the Government Accountability Office, a GAO, and we have this document because they look at some of the funding USAID is doing. And you can see here in this box, federal funding, and it goes in, you look down,
Starting point is 01:11:33 International Plan Parenthood Federation, 2.03 million, and then you see four domestic regional organizations, 107.74 million. And it says these abortion, advocacy groups receive 1.89 billion in federal funding. Most federal funding was dispersed through the Department of Health and Human Services and the United States Agency for International Development. So that's a conversation here. Now, I want to pause. We're hitting on some topics, abortion, Planned Parenthood. Obviously, there's are extremely charged topics, and it polarizes
Starting point is 01:12:07 the conversation when you bring these topics up. I want to ask the audience to just hold off on that for a second and let's take a little wider view on this whole conversation and and consider there might be two parallel conversations ideologies moving along the same lines that it's neither in either or but a both and so I want to bring this conversation to margaret sang her market singer started planned parenthood in her first abortion clinic was in brownsville new york brooklyn new york 1916. And she wrote a book in 1920 called Women and the New Race. And in this book, she writes this, birth control itself often denounced as a violation of natural law is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit of preventing the birth of defectives
Starting point is 01:13:01 or of those who will become defectives. Who decides who's going to become defective? I guess the government. I mean, so, and a lot of people may say, oh, okay, look, she was young. Those were just some musings of a young woman who was just getting this conversation at the time in the 1920s, eugenics in America was raging. This was before Hitler gave it a bad name. So this was an actual thing happening in the United States at that time. Well, let's catch up with Margaret Singer in the late 1950s in an interview with Mike Wallace and see if her thoughts changed. Take a listen. You believe in sin? When I say believe, I don't mean in believe in committing sin.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Do you believe there is such a thing as sin? I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have diseased from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically. Delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things, just mark when they're born. That to me is the greatest sin. The greatest sin. So, again, how do we know these people wind up like that? nature, is it nurture, is the environment they're brought up in? There's a lot of open questions there. And so Margaret Singer dies in 1966, and Planned Parenthood obviously moves on. And that brings us
Starting point is 01:14:16 to 1969 because people may say, well, Planned Parenthood, that was early Margaret Sanger. Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with that. She passed away, she passed on this organization. Well, we have Frederick Jaffe. He is the vice president of Planned Parenthood, 1969. And he sends a memo to Bernard Burleson and Marr-Burlison is the lead of the population council that's Rockefeller funded and the nature of this memo was basically kind of collating all the ideas at the time of family planning of you know what planned parenthood is really into at that point all the ideas that people were kind of spitballing around and putting it in just a memo and just a one-stop shop and here it is this is the original memo and it literally at the top it says
Starting point is 01:15:00 proposed measures to reduce fertility by universality or selectivity of impact in the U.S. And there's four categories there across the top. You have social constraints, and you can see there compulsive, encouraging, I mean, just is mind-blowing. Educate for family limitations, fertility control agents in the water supply, encourage women to work at the bottom there. Then you have another one, economic deterrence and incentive,
Starting point is 01:15:25 so, you know, not as aggressive of putting stuff in the water, but you have eliminate welfare payments after the first, to children, require women to work and provide few child care services. So you're seeing just making it uncomfortable for women to have more than a couple children. Then the next column, social controls, compulsory abortion of out-of-wedlock pregnancies, confined childbearing to only a limited number of adults. I mean, we see that, we see China doing that. And then the final column, there measures predicated on existing motivations to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
Starting point is 01:16:04 abortion and sterilization on demand, improved contraceptive technology. Some of these things people wouldn't argue with. And the detractors of this memo will say, look, that was a memo. They were just speaking between one another. None of that was implemented. There's no evidence that that was implemented. But you look at those ideas, that thought process that's going through a lot of these conversations in this memo.
Starting point is 01:16:28 And some of it was implemented. China was having a one-child policy. So it's interesting looking back on that from the 60s to now what some of these things moved into. So that is one of the most bombshell documents I've ever seen in my life when it comes to this conversation. And again, it's a polarized conversation, but we've got to look at the roots of it, where it's grown out of. And just last week, I had a lot of people tell me that the segment that we put together with environmental malfeusiasm, this idea that you should have less children because it's the environment, because we're all going to die because of global warming. so you need to have less children. You can see this idea continually weaving into modern day conversation.
Starting point is 01:17:06 So it's not this old idea that died with people like Margaret Singh or Francis Galton. It's actually the spirit of it is alive today. And this is what I'm trying to point out, as opposed to just focusing on the individual polarization of this conversation. So I want to take a moment today is today to celebrate. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is probably just around now getting sworn in at the Oval Office with, I would imagine, family, our host, Del Big Tree, and this is a day, really a monumental stay for a lot of people. But I also want to take the time to honor and thank
Starting point is 01:17:42 the parents, the parents that you'll never know their names, you'll never know their faces, you'll never even hear about them. For decades, they stood, and they demanded justice and accountability for the vaccine injured kids against impossible odds. And also to the medical professionals and the doctors who went against the grain to try to find a way to heal the public outside of the current paradigm who lost their careers, lost, you know, in a lot of times
Starting point is 01:18:12 their families and their lives seeking this pursuit. And finally, the activists, I mean, they're everywhere now, but before this became popular, there was a small, tight group of activists and, you know, really just a select view in the media who would step out of line when it was unpopular. to bang this drum and never stop banging this drum to this day. And this is what this movement stands on.
Starting point is 01:18:37 This is what the energy of this movement was provided to them. And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is more than just a man. He's a symbol of an idea whose time has come. And that time is now. And we enter today a new world of unique possibilities of hope and specifically change of what people voted for, what people wanted to see the majority of people in this country. And so I want to say that we're moving in now at the high wire.
Starting point is 01:19:07 We're going to be doing business as usual here, trying to help make this idea of a golden age of medical freedom, a golden age of informed consent, and a golden age of justice for anybody who has suffered at the hands of the pharmaceutical industry and the unjust ability of the government to protect them when it comes to their vaccine injured kids. So I will see you next week. This is Jeffrey Jackson from the Highwire, signing off.
