Starting point is 00:00:00 Bird flu has an interesting other dynamic that a lot of people aren't talking about, and that is our food supply. Take a look at this. All right. Now to a story that impacts farming in Minnesota, as well as what you buy at the grocery store. As bird flu spreads in lower Michigan, poultry and cattle, farmers are becoming more concerned about food supplies. Millions of chickens are facing the chopping block after bird flu hits an Iowa farm. The nation's top egg producer says more than four million chickens will be slaughtered after bird flu was detected at a large egg farm.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Some 23 million birds have been killed in Iowa since 2022. Just to put in perspective, we've probably called in the United States alone between 90 and 100 million birds in the last year, a year and a half due to H5N1 flu. The World Health Organization is investigating a man in Mexico who died of a type of bird flu known as H5N2. Now three farm workers in the US have been infected mildly. with that virus. What is the level of concern right now
Starting point is 00:01:04 about that potentially becoming a pandemic? I'm really concerned because we're making the same mistakes today that we made with COVID. We should be testing every cow weekly. You can do pooled PCR. We have the technology. We could be pool testing every dairy worker. I do believe that there's undetected cases in humans
Starting point is 00:01:25 because we're once again only tracking people with symptoms. US is taking steps to develop or acquire vaccines for at-risk farm workers. We're really prepared to not only test the current vaccines that we have in the stockpile, but also to really develop specific vaccines. Get ready, folks. Does that sound familiar? I mean, we're making the same mistakes we made during COVID. I really believe there are people infected asymptomatic carriers. She didn't say it, but asymptomatic carriers that now have bird flu,
Starting point is 00:01:58 and they're spreading it across the country because of, the cows because of the chickens and we better start killing all of those. I mean, this is a level of insanity, Jeffrey. And what happens to, I mean, to our food supply? I know you're going to get into it, but what a shocking, terrifying news montage that was. They really want their hands on the cows. You can see Dr. Deborah Birx. They're coming out of, you know, out of retirement, I guess, or whatever,
Starting point is 00:02:24 and saying we need to test cows. Every week, we need to test them. Every week, every cow, we have the technology. Oh, my God. So let's go into these headlines here because it tells the story of what's really happening. It says with 100 million bird flu dead, or birds dead, poultry industry could serve as example as dairy farmers confront bird flu. It says there's been earlier bird flu outbreaks in the U.S., but the current one started it in February of 2022
Starting point is 00:02:47 and has forced to slaughter of nearly 100 million chickens and turkeys. And you go to the USDA and it has flock data. And you can see the chart here, this map of the United States. So you can see these are the detections by month. And they're detecting flocks. So these aren't actually one bird, their entire flocks of birds when they detect this. You see Minnesota, South Dakota, California, Iowa.
Starting point is 00:03:09 These are the large producers. In fact, Iowa was the largest egg producer in the United States. These are large commercial farms. So you're getting a lot of outbreaks there. Also some in backyard farms, but the commercial farms are the ones that are doing the big testing at right now. But this isn't the first time this happened. This is the biggest outbreak.
Starting point is 00:03:25 But in 2015, there was another bird flu outbreak where they had to kill 50 million birds at that time. This is NPR during that time, 2015, NPR, millions of chickens to be killed as bird flu outbreak Puzzles industry. And even the Iowa governor declared a state of emergency due to that bird flu outbreak at the time. So these aren't the first time these shock headlines happen. But now let's look at the advantage the industry is looking at here and the United States government's looking at and all the other governments around the world.
Starting point is 00:03:54 So we have the USDA is putting in the federal register. It just has. And when something is published in a federal register, whether it's vaccine-related or this next story, there's 180 days until its implementation. So what are we talking about? This is it. This is APHIS bolsters animal disease traceability in the United States. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:04:17 Here's another headline to break it down easier. The USDA may soon implement RFID burden of electronic animal identity. will fall in independent ranchers. So there's no other option in 180 days. They've been trying to do this for over a decade. They were pushed back legally in 2021. They had to back off on this, but now they're coming back and trying to do this.
Starting point is 00:04:36 This is the only option you have for cattle. You have to have RFID chips on there for tracking, for interstate commerce. And you're seeing this not only here, but you're seeing this across in Europe as well. This is the telegraph. Chicken keepers must register to beat bird flu. Owners who fail to register
Starting point is 00:04:53 register their birds face a maximum fine of 5,000 pounds or six months in prison, although penalties depend on an assessment of harm caused. So let's take a big leap here. Maybe not a big leap. We have the C40 cities. So why all this control over people's food, they're animals, their chickens, their cows, their poultry? Well, the C40 cities are basically this, this agreement between the largest, the mayors of
Starting point is 00:05:21 the largest cities in the world. here in the United States, others in Europe. And they're elected for one thing, but then they're agreeing with the C40 cities on another thing. And what is that? Well, here's one of their white papers, the future of urban consumption. They've all signed on to this in a 1.5 degrees Celsius world.
Starting point is 00:05:39 This is their report. And the future of food consumption is this. Let's look at this chart. By 2030, they're claiming their ambitious goal that these C40 mayors are driving aggressively towards is zero kilogram. of meat consumption, zero kilograms of dairy consumption, so none, and 200, 200, 500 calories per person per day. And it says on this report right under it, adopting dietary changes
Starting point is 00:06:07 of the consumption intervention with the greatest potential for emissions reductions. Adopting a healthy diet, i.e. lowering meat and dairy intake would contribute 60% of the emission reduction, 43% and 17% respectively, while the remainder is likely associated with reduced calorie intake. So So this is the question, the open-ended question, is if a bird flu is here and there's traceability on these animals and these poultry, wouldn't these people that are trying to have ambitious targets, wouldn't this be a supercharging, helpful experience for them to eliminate dairy and meat consumption in any way they can do it because of these climacals? It's almost benevolent from their mind.
Starting point is 00:06:44 So these are what we have to be thinking about because the mayors of certain cities, largest cities in the U.S. are gunning towards this. They're trying to get to these goals, and they're going to use any means necessary. Wow. I mean, it's really scary, and it's obvious. And frankly, as you and I both know, first of all, PCR test. I mean, how many cycles? Is there anything really there?
Starting point is 00:07:05 And if Deborah Birx wants to be testing every single farmer and every cow, just the cost of that on farmers, what's that going to do to the cost of production? How are they going to stay up with that? And then what's the lightest, you know, all of a sudden you get an overly magnified PCR? test, you just start killing all of the cows. And then imagine, I mean, clearly they're stating that. Clearly, that's what they want to do. So look how easily it would be. I mean, you can see it, 100, would it say 100 million chickens have already been killed. I mean, that's got to be nearing 10% of the chicken population or somewhere in there. I mean, I'm not sure what the exact numbers are.
Starting point is 00:07:38 But if you start doing that then to your cows, first of all, the cows that remain are going to get more expensive. You're going to price everybody out of the ability to eat meat. You know who'll be able to afford it? Bill Gates, the people on their jets, they'll still be eating steaks, because the only ones that can afford that sort of, you know, supply and demand issue, what happens when you start killing off the livestock. And we've seen this across the country. And then we see them going after, you know, chicken, you know, people that just have a couple of chickens in their backyard in Europe. You know they want to do that here because so many of us are moving into having our own gardens, our own chicken cubs around our houses. They want to come after
Starting point is 00:08:14 that, too. They don't want you to have any way or any access to the food you believe, your medicine. Food, let food be thy medicine, as Apocchonis said, and now they're going after that. This is, this is just, I mean, folks, if you, if you're tuning in, I get it. Like, we're all, you tune in, and it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's alarmist. This stuff is really happening. I mean, turn off the CNN because it's, you know, in the MSNBC and Fox. I mean, they're just, they're pushing it so often on so many stupid things. But what we're telling you right now, this is in real time, folks. Imagine if they wipe out your food supply, what are you going to be eating? How are you going to be able to afford a steak? If they start killing cows across
Starting point is 00:08:53 this country and chickens, where your eggs, and remember when they tell you, we want you to have zero steaks, zero chickens. That's where we're at. Jeffrey, very alarming, but at least we're on top of it. And at least we're seeing a move in Europe. Maybe we'll see similar moves here in America where people start, you know, winning elections because they actually care about our borders, our sovereignty, our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights.
