Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are out there in the world. How about we all step out onto the high wire? All right, well, you know, we got Fourth of July here in America is coming up right around the corner. A huge celebration. We're all going to get to see all those relatives. Maybe we haven't seen a long time barbecue beer at the lake or at the ocean on the beach. I don't know if, you know, you're like me, but are you kind of wondering, how's that going to go? I mean, these are like family members that, you know, we haven't really talked to for some time.

Maybe we have some real differences of opinion on what kept us all locked down over the last couple of years. What are those relationships going to be like? I mean, we were just talking a couple weeks ago to Matthias Desmond, an amazing interview, talking about, you know, how everyone around us seems to be, you know, hypnotized in a way. It really helped me understand and have some empathy for those around me. But when we watch the news and when I look at it through that, you know, view, we still have serious issues in this country and around the world dealing with our own mental health, which is something that I'm thinking about as I'm looking at going to Fourth of July.

How are we going to deal with all of this? The peer-reviewed journal The Lancet says mental health issues were magnified by the pandemic. The report stipulates that an additional 53 million cases of major depressive disorder and 76 million cases of anxiety disorders were caused by COVID. Doctors have noted the toll the pandemic has had on people's mental health. Some have gone down the path of drug abuse. Drug overdose deaths in the U.S. topped 100,000 in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control. According to the CDC, hospital admissions data shows the number of teenage girls who have been suicidal has increased 50% nationwide since 2019.

We're seeing the devastating impacts of the pandemic on children's mental health. A new poll shows one in four parents say their adolescent has seen a mental health specialist. 41% of college students reported having suicidal thoughts in 2021. That's alarming. Huge increases in anxiety, stress, depression, an increase in suicide and suicide ideation. What we are seeing and we are concerned about is very elevated rates when it comes to mental health impacts. Children as young as 8, 9, 10, as well as through those. settled us in years. A recent survey found one in four young adults admits to abusing a substance just to cope. Five to 11 year olds, 24% more. They visited the ER for mental health reasons and 31%

of 12 to 17 year olds. We've probably done more suicide assessments in a year than we had done in five years. For too many people, the story about the pandemic will be about their mental illness. We know that COVID has wreaked havoc with our mental health. I'm interested in your reluctance to use the word lockdown. Do you think two years on that they were worth it or were they too severe? Obviously, when you do have that kind of restriction on society, there are unintended negative consequences. Well, it's amazing, isn't it, when we look around us all of these issues that we're seeing, right? And in many ways we saw this coming.

We knew this was going to be one of the side effects. crazy draconian measures that were, you know, foisted upon us all around the world. Today, though, we're going to be talking about overall mental health. And though I think a great trip to the beach and getting out some sunshine, maybe playing golf with your kid, I'm looking forward to doing that with my own son. And having some family time, I think we'll remedy a lot of this. But we don't just want to talk about the issues, which we're going to get into it today. We're actually going to talk about solutions.

And I'm really excited coming up later in the show, you know, someone I worked. with all the way back when I was producing on the Dr. Phil show and then the doctor's television show, health and wellness. I would say guru, really, Dr. Fab Mancini is in studio with me to talk about, you know, ways that maybe we can treat each other in a better way and maybe work our ways out of this sort of funk we all have and this attitude we have towards each other. I'm really looking forward to that, but first, it's time for the Jackson Report. All right, Jeffrey, you know, this, you know, we've all had our moments, right? And being locked up can make you stir crazy. But here we are. And I think one of the things that I love about this show that we do. And as I travel, I've said it before, as I travel all

around the country, been doing a lot of that, you know, one of the things that people say that I really love hearing is they say, you know, tuning into the high wire, first of all, it makes me feel like I'm not alone, that I'm not crazy. And it always gives me a sense of hope. And I'm really proud of that because we lay out some pretty heavy information. But in the the end, you know, I do have hope. I know you do. We talk about that all the time. So it's a part of this experience. But before we can get to the hope, we have to understand the problem. So what's going on in this crazy world today? Right, right. And like you said, this is about empathy. This is about understanding. We're going to lay out some information here. And just keep that in mind,

you know, we are on the other side of this pandemic and we do have challenges. And this is where we're going to go. But before we get into the most recent data, we can. continually have to caveat this data with appropriately the Great Barrington Declaration ahead of their time October 2020, these epidemiologists, three well-sighted epidemiologists saw the way the lockdowns were going, saw what they were going to do and knew the data that was going to come from this. And they penned this warning, the declaration that's been signed upon by tens of thousands of doctors now. And this is what they wrote. This was in the declaration at that time. Before we knew all of this, they said, as infectious,

disease epidemiologists and public health scientists, we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies. That's across the population. But then they went even further. They said current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. They went so far to say keeping students out of schools a grave injustice. Unfortunately, their warnings were not heated. So this is what the headlines look like. Before we get in really deep into this segment, just again, just to frame this in case anybody forgotten, 2020, these are the headlines. 48 states have ordered or recommended that schools don't reopen this academic year.

And Florida and Texas were on this. So don't think that these kind of luminary states that we look at as Liberty Beacons now back then, they were in, you know, lockstep with some of this. Oh, look, Jeffrey, we were in the middle of it right here. You know, we had defected five families, defected from the Waldorf private school. we were at and you know the you know just thinking about the Waldorf curriculum and Rudolph Steiner who made some of the earliest statements about the future dangers of vaccinations and to think that that school was masking and going pro vaccine but even here in Texas we defected with a bunch of families and started our own homeschool co-op just to make

our way through you know that lockdown on our children so though I'm very very lucky and I want to give a shout out to my wife who worked so hard while I was I was on the show making sure that that school and bringing in the teachers and making that happen were possible. But it was people that sort of went that extra step that kept their kids from having to go through this real torture. But so many, I know just didn't have the time or weren't able to really put that focus trying to just make ends meet.

So so many fell through the cracks all across this country. And even here in Liberty Beacons like Texas, you're absolutely right. Right. And let's be clear and honest, they were scary times. But looking at this data we're presenting right now, there were outlets and individuals that amplified and leveraged that fear for specific policies that did cause harm and they knew we're going to cause harm. So let's look at the Atlantic magazine. This was in August, on August 2nd, 2020, going into the fall school year. Schools were, you know, deciding we're going to open or not.

This is a headline. This push to open schools is guaranteed to fail. I mean, clear fear mongering from who? This is in the quotes, this push to open schools is guaranteed to fail, says Peter Hotez, a pediatrician and molecular biologists. He says in communities with high transmission, it's inevitable that COVID-19 will enter the schools. Within two weeks of opening schools and communities with high virus transmission, teachers will become ill. All it will take is for a single teacher to become hospitalized with COVID, and everything will shut down.

He goes on to say, we don't need additional information to make decisions. Otez insisted right now, he said, there are at least 40 states in which schools simply should not open. Remember, schools are not hermetically sealed. We need to reach containment first. It's that simple. Well, that's dead wrong, as we know now.

It never was achieved. No, Peter, it's not that simple. Yeah, well done. Destroyed our children's lives and did nothing to stop the pandemic, the transmission, or anything else. Fail. Okay.

On record, as a fearmonger. But perhaps one of the gravest injustices to use the Great Barrington Declaration language was the Teachers Union. This was the American Federation of Teachers. This was the headline in the New York Post, powerful teachers unit influenced CDC on school reopenings. This was in February 2021. All the schools were expected to reopen. And this teacher's union not only lobbied the CDC, but suggested language in a flurry of emails before this school reopening. And what that caused was a slow walk opening, like a slow motion opening.

Instead of opening them all, they slow lock this return to in-person learning, knowing that these damages are already mounting. They were doing it to protect what there was been called the laptop class, the teachers, using these. And we go over the UK, we're going to switch back and forth between the US and UK. By the way, just being those that could afford to have computers at home, you know, that group that had kids that were affluent enough to have all the bells and whistles and make that learning experience okay. Forget about those kids, single parent home,

mom's off to work or dad's off to work, they're alone, no computer, no way to do any of this. This was an absolute destruction of those less affluent classes here in America. And from the same very people that teachers and all that always say, oh, we care about these kids, school lunches disappeared. Sometimes they're only meals. I mean, I'm sure you're going to get into all that. But yeah, the laptop class may have survived, but what about those that need our help and need that schooling? And the teachers just didn't seem to care. Right. And in the COVID-19, we'll call it the pandemic response. We really saw governments max leverage fear.

And this is now a public health tool. It's always been kind of a subtle stick in the background, pushing and prodding people. They maximized it. And in the UK, we had a group called the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group. behavior so they were brought in to to give the MPs there and the government kind of ideas on how to exacerbate these lockdowns make them make people scared of the virus and be able to stay in their homes and this was the headline they they be turned whistleblower because they saw how badly it was used use of fear to

control behavior in COVID crisis was totalitarian amid scientists these are the whistleblowers they wrote a book this was the quotes in the article in March 2020 the government was very worried about compliance and they thought people wouldn't want to be locked down. There were discussions about fear being needed to encourage compliance and decisions were made about how to ramp up the fear. The way we have used fear is dystopian. They say the use of fear has definitely been ethically questionable.

It's been like a weird experiment, ultimately it backfired because people became more scared. And what does fear do in a situation like this? It leads to all the things that we're going to go into, alcohol abuse, overdose and opioids. But let's look at the main architect here. It was in the montage at the beginning. We have Anthony Fauci and he has come out. These are recent headlines. He's one of the main architects pushing these restrictions. Fouchi says we may never know of costs of COVID lockdowns outweigh benefits. Here he is just sliding out the back door. Fauci again, it may never be clear whether lockdowns were worth it or too severe. So what we have to say to that is there's an article. This is an opinion piece by the heart group. This is a UK group. Now the therapists are speaking out in mass, which is great. This is Sarah Warrie. water, she wrote this. She's a psychotherapist, specializes in the effects of abuse and childhood trauma and family dynamics. She says, was the emotional health of future generations sacrifice on the COVID

altar? She writes, it is not too late to make sure these policies are never inflicted upon our children again. Using the young as human shields to protect the adults in this way is abusive and unscientific as it must never be repeated. Now, it's unbelievable. I mean, it's like the Titanic scene where they kick the kids out of the lifeboats and throw themselves in, we literally saw something we never expected where we used the children to try and protect the elderly instead of vice versa. Just really horrific, sad, embarrassing display of humanity or inhumanity. It absolutely is. And again, like you said, this is going to call upon just titanic empathy on humanity's part

now. It's going to call forward this. and let's go into the effects. And again, these are some of the recent effects. Some of these articles and the headlines are very recent, and this is ongoing. So we're just putting this out there for a public record. But let's start with the infants and the children, the toddlers. Children born, this is the headline here, children born during pandemic, have lower IQs,

US study finds. And this is the IQ study. It says impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on early childhood cognitive development, initial findings, and a longitudinal observational study of child health. And they said, leveraging a large ongoing longitudinal study of child development, we examine general childhood cognitive scores in 2020 and 2021 versus the preceding decade. They had that much data going back, 2011 to 2019. We find that children born during the pandemic have significantly reduced verbal motor

and overall cognitive performance compared to children born pre-pandemic. And this is a image that was built during an article with their data. You can see here, there's the composite scores on early learning tests. left side there in 2011 they were hovering around 100 it says here they should be around 115 to 85 we see in 2019 they just plummeted we're looking at almost 75 here for these kids for these these infants and babies three months to three years and it goes on from here now this is an article from may that again UK we're going to toggle back there COVID lockdowns left toddlers unable to speak or play properly this is the world college of speech and language

therapist they say that one in three language therapists that referrals doubled since the pandemic. And in the New York hospitals, we'll go to New York here in a large children's New York hospital. There was an ongoing study as well before the pandemic since 2017. The pandemic hits. They had this large cohort of information on children's development that they could really compare and contrast.

And this was the headline here. Pandemic is stunting babies development due to stress on mothers. Now, this is interesting because I'll read the quote and then we'll talk about this. No difference were, differences were found in scores between infants exposed to the virus in the womb and those whose mothers did not contract it. But average scores and social motor skills were lower than 62 pre-pendemic infants born at the same hospitals. So, you know, a lot of people say, well, it's the virus. It's COVID. Well, this is a direct impact of the stress on the mothers showing impact on the babies. This is a very valuable study.

And for anybody out there that wants to look at this study, it was published in JAMA, Journal of American Medicine. Association of birth during the COVID-19 pandemic with neurodevelopmental status at six months in-in-units with and without in-utero exposure to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection. Now, again, it goes back to 2017, and this is what they write when they look at this information compared with the historical cohort infants born during the pandemic had significantly lower scores on gross motor, fine motor, and personal social subdomains in fully adjusted models. They use something called Ages and Stages questionnaire to do this for these children, they had the parents fill this out. But going beyond that, going beyond the developmental

for infants, we even see an increase in weight gain. And, you know, obviously people have reported this. Maybe people personally out there listening go, yeah, yeah, I had a couple extra burgers or whatever. But the CDC's data, even the CDC's data can find some really interesting nugget sometimes. This is what they reported. It's the longitudinal trends in body mass index as BMI before and during the COVID-19 pandemic among persons aged two to 19 years in the US. So they write among a cohort of 432,302 persons aged 2 to 19 years, the rate of body mass index BMI increase approximately doubled during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period doubled.

And then it says here, persons with pre-pandemic overweight or obesity and younger school-age children experienced the largest increases. So those people that were at risk already that were overweight already or had a high BMI they were just hit down even harder and understand this BMI is an indicator of future health risk BMI is an indicator of future morbidity and death this is this is a big deal so we saddled the two to 19 year olds with with this kind of millstone of obviously future health risk and so again infants and children now the older kids and teenagers this is really where the red flashing light is in this you know as we're talking about this so this is in the UK this is

is just a recent headline COVID pandemic drove 60,000 more secondary school children into clinical depression. This was the U.S. CDC, a cry for help. CDC warns of a steep decline in teen mental health. They said in their report, one in five of the kids that they surveyed said they had suicidal thoughts. Four and ten teens said they felt persistently sad or hopeless. This all led, you know, if we remember, just a quick flashback in late October 2021, this led the leading groups to call a national emergency. So in the middle of the pandemic, they calling it a crisis within a crisis. This was the headline here. Pediatricians say the mental health crisis among kids has become a national emergency. And it still is. It hasn't gotten any

better. And this was from, this says here, the declaration was penned by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Children's Hospital Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, which together represent more than 77,000 physicians and 200 children's hospitals. And why did they do this? Well, they were seeing the referrals. They were hearing from the pediatric. saying, look, we are swamped. And they were seeing the hospitals before we see headlines like this. They heard about it behind the scenes. This is in the UK, the NHS. This was in April 2022. This is the headline. Swamped NHS mental health services turning away children, says GPs, listen to this. 95% of GPs, those are general practitioners, say that CAMHS, as their counseling

and mental health services, are either in crisis, 46% or very inadequate, 49%. Half say, that at least six in 10 referrals they make for anxiety depression conduct disorder and self-harm are routinely rejected because the young people's symptoms are deemed not severe enough even though they only refer the most at-risk cases if your jaws are on the ground people they should be then it goes on to say one in four say that 60 to 100 percent of referrals for eating disorders and addictions are rejected and the same is happening here in the united states this is article from may 24th of this year just less than a month ago a pandemic has U.S. hospitals overwhelmed with teen mental health crisis. Now, let's take a breath there

because we're going through kind of the litany of all the age groups and what this is, what's happening really out there in your communities. So let's look at the adults. Now, this is something I know a lot of people that watch this show, including myself, we have people in the communities or family members that have experienced situations like this. This is the headline here. This is out of Baton Rouge. Pandemic wiped out many recovery resources for addicts. Overdoses nearly doubled in EBR parish. So there's a recent poll and they looked at the drinking during the pandemic and even after the pandemic and it says Americans are using alcohol to cope with pandemic stress nearly one in five report heavy drinking. And I want to bring back a

study we looked at about two months ago. And this was the alcohol related mortality. This is a very important study because it ties into a story we're going to cover in just a moment. evaluation of trends in alcohol use disorder related mortality in the U.S. before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors say in this cross-sectional study, we used data from 2012 to 2019 to project 2020 and 2020-201 mortality rates and found that alcohol use disorder related mortality rates increased among all ages and sexes during the pandemic. I mean, that's, you know, we knew kind of that was going to happen, but this is the kicker in this study. The youngest age group, 25 to 44 years, demonstrated the largest increase in alcohol use disorder,

mortality 40.47% in 2020 and 33.95% in 2021 across all age groups. And you can see the chart here. It just kind of exponentially rises there in 2020 and 2021. And again, we're going to cover this, but there's the insurance deaths. We're seeing a lot of information about the insurance companies and the death rate spiking in those exact age groups. And people are saying, well, what is the vaccine? Is it how the hospitals are treating these kids when they go in? Well, this could be another explanation for that or it could be all of those things combined but one of the biggest things here in the u.s and this is a story we've covered uh you and i have covered together for probably five years back and forth because it's bouncing in the headlines but the opioid crisis first it was perdu

pharma with with their how they started that then the fentanyl came in and so that was a perfect storm for when covid hit so we have this is with the cdc data shows these are the headlines just recently again u.s overdose deaths hit record 107000 last year cdc says and that's the the most recent data. It says experts say the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the problem, as lockdowns and other restrictions, isolated those with drug addictions and made treatment harder to get. Again, we knew that. But look at this. So I started to do some research, and I was looking at the states with the most restrictions, the strongest lockdowns, the most restrictions on their people. And I thought it would be interesting and it would be kind of, I guess, intuitive to know

that are states with the most restrictions, the ones that are showing higher rates of overdoses, and this is what I found. So this is a table here. These are the states with the fewest coronavirus restrictions. It's one through 51. So this is the bottom of that table. These are the ones that are most restrictive. We have Vermont. We have D.C., Virginia, Washington, New York, California, kind of rounding those up. So I looked at the headlines of these overdoses, all this new CDC data, the most recent data. Here's what I found. Now, Vermont's the worst, according to this data. So here's the headline. Vermont leads U.S. in pandemic overdose rate, death rate. Again, D.C. in Washington on that list as well. Here's the headline. Overdose deaths in Virginia and D.C. were up more than 40% in 2020. Virginia is on the list, too. California is on that list. Let's look at how they're doing Los Angeles hits a high for drug overdose deaths. Here is the chart from that. And you can see here 2020 and 2021, just absolutely skyrocketing. 2019 to starting to go. go up, but those two years. New York on that list as well. Here's the headline, New York,

saw record overdose deaths in 2020, health officials say, and then the WHO switching over now, COVID-19 pandemic triggers 25% increase in prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide. These are adults as well. And we have a first look out of Israel. So now, you know, as we're sitting here, people are saying, well, that was then, you know, clearly this, you know, that was a terrible time. We're going to heal and we're going to, we're going to help people. But out of Israel, there's a first look study showing what's called post-pandemic or post-lockdown depression. So as these restrictions are lifted, how fast, how well do people go back to their routine lives? So here's the headline, or the study title, if anyone else look this up, post-lockdown depression,

adaption difficulties, depressive symptoms, and the role of positive solitude will return to routine after the lifting of nationwide COVID-19 social restriction. They looked at middle-age and older adults, and it said this. About half of the responders reported moderate to high levels of return to routine adaption difficulties. These difficulties were positively correlated with depressive symptoms. So clearly, again, even if people are fine, getting back into your normal routine is not as easy as just a snap of your fingers. This is going to take a global effort and an effort in communities and families to really

nurture the health of humanity back after what we just went through of these restrictions. Well, and I can't help but think when you look at the size of these numbers that probably all of us have family members that probably slid into some of these issues, they're not going to tell us, right? These aren't the types of things that you just come around and say, oh, by the way, I developed a real addiction problem over the last two years. They're going to be hiding it. So I think we've got to be really sensitive to the fact that some of these family members we haven't seen for a while, maybe really dealing with things. And we've got to find ways to sort of listen and be there and maybe help them open up and coming around. around to this because it's not going to be on a billboard over their heads. This is something that's the type of life and issues that you hide from everybody.

So hopefully everyone will be sensitive to that. You know, I can't help us sit here. We've talked about it before, but when I see just it's like carnage, carnage of our society, total destruction of the fabric, the torn apart, the fabric that holds us together in this country and I'm sure felt in every nation around the world. And then I think how you open this up, the great barreness. The Washington Declaration, world-renowned scientist in Dr. Martin Koldorf, Dr. Sinatra Gupta, and Dr. J. Badacharya, that told us they didn't have a crystal ball, but it sure seems like they

did. They warned us, this is exactly, you're going to cause more problems than you're going to alleviate that, yes, we're infectious disease specialists too, but these lockdowns are going to be destructive. We've got to find a better way. They had a better way. They said, let's take care of those. They're in the high-risk categories while letting the rest of us live normal lives so we can hold this whole thing together, not destroy the world as we know.

And here's what I've got to say as I sit here, the fact that these three scientists and doctors are still being censored by social media, are still having difficulty making their way into the mainstream and being respected for having predicted all of the issues that we are having here and those that attacked them, including those in our own regulatory agencies, are still in control of this whole thing. I mean, wouldn't it seem that an intelligent population would say, okay, we went with the group that doubled down and said lockdowns are the only way. They're going to get us out of this pandemic.

They never got us out of this pandemic. We still have issues that we're talking about in time where new variants may be coming. You know, we're all having to learn to live with it. And you destroyed our children's lives. You destroyed the education. You're costing us a fortune. We lost so many to drug and alcohol abuse and addiction, all the things you just listed. So at what point do we say, get off the throne.

You're done. We followed you. You were wrong. The people that were right. Let's bring them in and give them jobs leading us forward since they were the ones that showed they knew how to do this. When I think back to the fact that the Great Barretton Declaration, which we celebrated on this show from day one, it was the position that we took on the highwire when everyone else in mainstream

media went with these jokers that got the whole thing wrong and destroyed the world as we know it. They actually attacked and went after the Great Barrington Declaration. We had proof of that in FOIAID emails of the head of the NIH that did exactly that. There needs to be a quick and devastating takedown. Emails show how Fauci and head of NIH worked to discredit three experts who penned the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for an end to lockdowns. In fact, it was between Francis Collins. Here it is, his own email head of the NIH.

Hi, Tony and Cliff. This proposal from three fringe epidemiologists, yeah, Oxford and other high-ranking institutions who met with the secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention. And even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Levitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. I don't see anything like that online yet. Is it underway? You know what?

we need to have a quick and devastating takedown is these morons that have destroyed our lives. Yes, you, Francis Collins. Yes, you, Anthony Fauci. I'm tired of having to look at these jokers on our television when they destroyed the world. Those that were right, we need to start celebrating them and get them into positions where they get to make better decisions for us going to the future. All right. That's it. I had to just get down on my chest. Thank you, Jeffrey. Let's get back to the rest of what you have to say. Absolutely. I have well said. These people would have monuments built to them in any other generation or these three these three epidemiologists. So there's a, there's some major updates to a story that you covered several months ago. And just to bring viewers

up to speed, let's look at, this was what kicked off this information in the public. This is the CEO of One American. It's an insurance company. And he was on a Zoom call, an investor's call, I believe. And this is what he had to say. Take a look. We offer group life and disability insurance to employers. And we are seeing right now, the highest death rates we have ever seen in the history of this business, not just at One America, the data is consistent across every player in that business. Now this is primarily working age people, 18 to 64 that are in employers like all the employers on the screen here.

And what we saw just in third quarter, we're seeing it continuing to fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pans. Now, just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-and-two-hundred-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic. So 40% is just unheard of. And what the data is showing us is that the deaths that are being reported as COVID deaths greatly understate the actual death losses among working age people from the people from the pandemic. It may not all be COVID on their death certificate, but deaths are up just a huge, huge

numbers. I mean, I know, I remember when we reported on that, we've continued to sort of, you know, touch on it. So shocking. And one of those things that, you know, we've been saying all along, braced for it, braised for it, we're going to start seeing all cause mortality is going to be the place to look since they've contaminated all the other data to get to the facts. But you cannot manipulate all-cause mortality. And yeah, sure, some of it's going to be all that depression, all the drug use and things that we saw there. But how many are the vaccine injured? The VERS numbers through the roof. I mean, all of this, it just feels like when we keep reporting, that was back in December, how is it everyone in the world is not aware of the situation we're

currently in? And so, so that was then, where are we at now? How is this story shifting? Yeah, well, at the time, essentially dead silent in corporate media, non-corporate media did did cover it. It was really big on social media as well. Here's the headline at the time for, does the local papers, Indiana life insurance CEO says death rates are up 40% among people ages 18 to 64. Then several months later, the Wall Street Journal picked up kind of just the story, the premise of the story, rise in non-COVID19 deaths hits life insurers. And remember, the one America CEO said, we're seeing this across all players in the industry. It's interesting that he spoke up. So hats off to him. But there was kind of a lull. You're thinking, where are the other players

in the industry. Why is anybody talking about this? And you had Edward Dowdon. He was the Black Rock, a former Black Rock portfolio manager. He talked about this extensively. He's a number cruncher guy. He was looking at even funeral home numbers and saying that those are skyrocketing as well. But we have new information in this now. So thanks to a reporter, veteran reporter, writer Margaret Menge, she has a substack account and it's called the Crossroads Report. And she broke this story. Incredible story. Here's the headline. fifth largest life insurance company in the U.S. paid out 163% more for deaths of working people ages 18 to 64 in 2021. Total claims benefits up $6 billion. So before we go into the quotes, just to put

this in perspective, one America's 40 death rates were up 40%. Yeah. This was the this this insurance company, it's the payouts are 163%. So there are two different, two different, two different things we're looking at here, regardless, still along the same lines. And this is what she writes. I can report that a much larger life insurance company, Lincoln National, that's number five in the country in the U.S., reported a 163 percent increase in death benefits paid out under its group life insurance policies in 2021. This is according to the annual statements filed with state insurance departments, statements that were provided exclusively to crossroad supports in response to public records requests. So she did something very, very veteran and wise.

there. She looked at the state insurance departments and received the information from there instead of going and knocking me on the door of the insurance companies because they're not going to give up anything. And so this is what she writes. This is what she reports. Here are the precise numbers for group death benefits taken from Lincoln National's annual statements for the three years. 2019, basically $500 million, a little over $500 million. $20, a little over $547 million. But here we go. 2021.445 billion. And let's look at the actual state. that were provided to her from these state departments. And here is the annual statement for the year of 2021

for Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. You can see here that's red asteris. There's that $1.445 billion. That's the group payout benefits. But if you look on the far right side, the highlighted column, that's a little over $28 billion for total payouts of direct claims and benefits. Now, if you go to the next slide,

this is the, here's where the big payout, the big number comes from. This is from 2020, the previous year, same form, same format. And you can see the total benefits paid out were only $22 billion, just a little over $22 billion. So there's where that $6 billion increase comes from. And this is what she also has to write. Beyond the group policies, which are typically working class people, she says the statements for the three years also show a sizable increase in ordinary death benefits. those not paid out under group policies, but under individual life insurance policies.

In 2019, the baseline year, that number was $3.7 billion. In 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, it went up to $4 billion. But in 2021, the year in which the vaccine was administered to almost 260 million Americans, it went up to $5.3 billion. And you would think Lincoln Financial would say, well, it's a big deal. We're going to have to really address this publicly. look at their first quarter results this is their press release and this is what they have to say the first quarter of 22 results they say group protection reported a loss from operations of 41 million

in the quarter compared to a loss from operations of 26 million in the prior year quarter this change was driven by non-pandemic related morbidity that's what they're calling it including unusual claims adjustments their injuries um what's causing them uh so just to add to this and to really cap off this segment, we have BMJ head editor, Peter Doshi, Dr. Peter Doshi, and he's come out with a new study, a new analysis of Pfizer and Moderna's phase three clinical data. This is making the rounds everywhere. And it is the title, serious adverse events of special interest following MRNA vaccination in randomized trials. And he says this, looking at, re-looking at this data. He says, combine that mRNA vaccines were associated with an absolute risk

increase of serious adverse events of special interest of 12.5 per 10,000, the excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest surpassed the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalizations relative to the placebo group in both Pfizer and Moderna trials, 2.3 and 6.4 per 10,000 participants respectively. Surpassed it by a long shot, I would say. And this is just an incredible reanalysis. This is why we can't rely on press releases or the word of a regulatory agent. saying we'll get the data further down the road when it's put out to the public. This is, we have people out there like Peter Doshi and tens of thousands, if not more, of others who have this, this knowledge that they can comb through this data and find

information like this. That would have been extremely vital during the rollout of these vaccines. Well, I mean, here's what's so amazing as we talk about the FDA approving these vaccines with like some of the worst data that the world's ever seen. We now know for a fact that the FDA was well aware of this data. This is the data they were trying to hide from this. This is the data, not Pfizer, but the FDA was trying to hide for 75 years. They didn't want us to see what they looked at when they approved this vaccine.

And now, once again, we are at a position we've never seen before. We've talked about the childhood myocarditis issues. The studies coming out of Israel showing us a three to six times the rate of myocarditis, swelling of the heart that put them in hospitals' children, three to six times the amount of kids going to the hospital first. that versus those that went to the hospital for COVID, meaning we know for a fact, we've known this, we've been saying this on the high wire, that we know that this vaccine is more dangerous to children than the virus itself. And now Peter Doshi is giving us the adult perspective on that,

showing us that the rates of hospitalization from the vaccination now are higher than the rates of hospitalization from the virus itself. This is game over. This should be it. This should be the final nail in the coffin. This isn't some Yahoo. This is an editor of one of the most important. important medical journals in the world. So people share this article. It's so important for anyone that tries to, you know, at the Fourth of July party, just tell you, you know, you're wrong. Just say, then how do you explain this study?

I mean, just take a look at it. You know, these are the numbers. This is what Pfizer knew before you took this vaccine. Anyway, just incredible work, Jeffrey. And thanks for just laying out all of that to take us through the years, you know, that we've been looking at with this. issue around depression so important as we try to wrap our heads around, you know, where we're at and how we move forward. Just incredible work. So keep it up. All right, Del. Thank you so much.

I'll see you next week. Have a happy, happy Fourth of July, would you? Yeah, absolutely. You too. All right. Awesome. So look, you know, I know we lay out really heavy, you know, material here on the show, but maybe, you know, what you should recognize is sort of what this show represents. We have to look this hard data in the face and then recognize that all of this can lead us to a better world. This is the way that we're going to wake up our friends, our neighbors, our family members, and saying, look, just take a look at what the reality is versus what we've been being told. This is hard data. There is no other show like this that I know of that sits here and lays out that entire timeline that Jeffrey just did

and we'll put that in your inbox on Monday. On Monday, all you have to be is signed up to our newsletter, and you will get all of the information that just appeared in the show, the highwire.com. There it is. Just go down, just scroll down. It takes a little bit of effort. Put your email in, click subscribe, job done. You're on your way. We don't share that data with anybody, but it makes it possible for you to use the greatest tool we have. We don't just have international scientists and lawyers working at this so that we can sit here and tell you what we think. We want you to be able to look at it yourself. this data. I know we cover so many different parts of this conversation that when you're talking to loved ones that you're trying to bring around. And I'm not saying bludging them with data, but you know they all come from a different place. One thing may really affect one person you know, whereas a different piece of information is good for them. All of it's available to you if you're signed up to our newsletter. But I want to say this. You know, we need to get this information out further. I am really worried about a dark cloud that I'm seeing out there in the future that is making its way here,

whether it's a variant, whether it's monkeypox, or whatever the rest of these insane people are going to try to do to us. It's going to be intense. And at this point, we really are going to need the Army for Truth standing up. And we need your help now more than ever on the high wire. It's great. We're all here. We're a community. There's six million of us. You know, people say, Del, that's amazing. Those are better numbers than you did when you were working at CBS. Yes, that's true, but $6 million isn't going to get this done, folks. We need to be reaching $100 million, $200 million, $500 million, $500 million, a billion people around the world. Sure, maybe I'm just an optimist, but here's what I've recognized as I think about this.

Do you realize what the high wire is providing here? This is literally the most important commodity on Earth. You want to talk about a precious metal that will be worth something when everything else comes collapsing down. It's going to be the precious metal known as truth. truth is what we are giving you here when everyone else in the world is lying. And I'm going to even say on social media there's other great voices out there, but they're not doing the work we're doing. They're not making sure they've triangulated the idea.

They'll throw you every new crazy idea that's out there. It will end up being wrong. And then what did you do when you stated something that didn't end up being true? That's never happened to you here on the high wire because we take what we do so seriously. You can't imagine how hard we comb through this stuff. I've said it to you before. I really need you to understand this. We're not here to get the story first and break the story and say, look at us.

We told you before anybody else. What we want you to always know is when you hear the story here, you can bank on the fact that is based in facts. And we have multiple resources that bring that truth to us so that you never get caught having to retract what you're saying. And by the way, it's my own self-protective mechanism there too. I really hate eating crow. So I make sure my team gets it right before I sit here. want to be Rochelle Walensky apologizing constantly for the stupid statement I made a couple of weeks ago. But all of this is so important now. We need to expand this audience. We need your help.

Both in sharing the videos everywhere you can, we're cutting these videos down in smaller pieces. We have teams doing that. We're now translating that. We're starting to fund translators around the world to get translations so that this information can get out there. We want to start putting up billboards like everyone else in the news does. How are they going to find this? But all of this work on top of the legal cases that we're bringing, whether it's going to be California, if they decide to do something crazy with one of the laws there, we will be there with our legal team. No matter what's happening, our legal team is running in first and right behind them is our media team making sure we get the story right. You're not getting this anywhere else yet.

You are funding. Many of you out there are funding all of these liars that are lying to you on a daily basis, whether it's Fox or MSNBC or wherever else you think you're getting the news. you're letting it drone in the background, yet you're coming here and saying, I really love the Highwire, but are you invested in what we're doing? Please become a recurring donor. I can't say it enough. You are changing the world when you help us. So go to thehighwire.com, hit the donate to ICANN. That's our nonprofit that makes all this possible. And right now in 2022, we're just asking for $22 a month. That's less than any other cable bill you're paying for. And it really makes a difference. If you can do more, please do it.

But we are not going to change this world if we are not all invested. What matters to you? Where is your money going? We vote with our dollars. Where are all of your dollars going? If you are complaining about the world and you're part of this sea of depression that's out there feeling like there's no hope, maybe it's because you're not doing things that make other people hopeful. Maybe it's because you're not a part of the solution.

Be a part of the solution. Help us bring you that information and the solutions, which leads me to this awesome opportunity I have right now. You know, speaking of CBS and working on the doctors and the Dr. Phil show where I learned everything that I know now, only I get to do it my way. I dragged many of my teammates over from those productions at CBS to make this show everything we dreamed it would be. And, you know, I won't speak for those shows. They had their moments.

but every once in a while ran into somebody that I thought, you know what, that's a really good person with really good information. And now our show is big enough, I guess, that we're starting to attract those people. And so I'm very honored to be bringing to the stage today. One of the great health and wellness icons of our time, a beautiful human being to help us understand maybe how we can all communicate a little bit better.

I'm talking about none other than Fad Bancini. Let's give a warm welcome to Dr. Fabrizio Mancini. Dr. Fabrizio Mancini. We're joined now by Dr. Fab Mancini, a healthy living expert. I'm here with chiropractor, Dr. Fab Mancini. Healthy living expert, Dr. Fab Mancini. He's an internationally acclaimed inspirational speaker. He's an author.

He's an educator. He's a philanthropist. And he's the president of Parker University in Dallas, Texas. I became a chiropractor by profession. Then I studied acupuncture. Then I started studying all the healing arts, energy medicine, nutrition, and I started understanding that there was so much to the story that I was never told in school.

Our bodies are self-healing and self-regulating. So that means that we're already born to heal naturally. Our relationships is really very important because we're all meant to be connecting with each other. But the key thing is how do we keep that relationship in the moment? See, I find that most people are either living too much into the future or too much into the past. Carropactic is a healthcare profession that is aligned with nature. in a way to remove interference so the body can actually function the way it was designed to function. Pain is not the problem. The problem is the fact that the body communicates through the nervous system

and it just lets us know that there is a problem inside. What could be causing this pain? That's the first thing I want every single person to ask themselves. We have been solved a lie that says that our bodies only heal from the outside in. That unless I take this prescription, unless I get this injection, unless I get this injection, unless I get a get this surgical procedure, my body cannot heal naturally. I have found that to be absolutely opposite to the truth. Your body can heal anything. Well, years ago, I met Dr. Fab while producing the Dr. Phil Show and then later on the doctor's television show. And it's my honor to get to introduce him for the first time here on the high wire. So, Dr. Fab, it's really a pleasure to see you.

Man, I'm so excited to be here and congratulations and being able to share all this amazing information and probably make sure that people understand there's a lot of truth out there that most people are not aware of. Yeah, I mean, just before we even get started, I just want to say what's so amazing about the work that you've done through the years is in many ways, I always say I was sort of a Trojan horse inside of like this medical talk show space, the doctors and then Dr. Phil. And you as a chiropractor, which tends to sort of be looked at outside of mainstream medicine, you somehow have had this incredible. career where you've been invited into that space, you know, recurring, you know, person, entity coming on to the Dr. Phil show and the doctor's television show, how is it you've managed to sort of bridge like what we would call alternative medicine and mainstream medicine so successfully together? You know, one of the things that I've been very careful of is to not necessarily

negate anyone else, but actually speak my truth based on my research, based on my research, of my experience. So many times people want to put me in an adversary position and I always talk negative about somebody else, but that's not my expertise. Why would I spend any time disparaging anyone else when really what people really want? They want to know what I know. So it's based on a couple of things. Number one is common sense. I use a lot of common sense with people where they get to all of a sudden recognize, you know what? Managing this system has never solve a problem or an illness. But if I get to the root cause of a problem,

if I get to really understand what behavior I'm undertaking that is getting me sick, now that makes more sense to me. And the other one, and we talked a little bit about in the past, is evidence. We have to be able to show people

that there is plenty of evidence, even though it may be suppressed by others, there is plenty of evidence not only in the United States, but around the world, but we have seen that a lot of these conditions have been solved, reverse,

if you want to use that word. Yeah. And in the United States, they're now celebrated. And that's where I usually have a lot of success because I lead a lot of my stories and a lot of my segments with evidence that they can't refute. Right. And that's been working really well.

So today I was thinking, you know, there's so many things that we could talk about. But, you know, what I really want to talk about is because you do so much work traveling the country as I do, coaching big CEOs, you know, how to run companies better, how to work better with people. But I feel like right now, and my wife and I are talking about this a lot, it's like so many people are carrying like an inner rage almost, just a frustration with, and I don't know that we even know exactly what is.

We've come out of these lockdowns. We've come out of this time where we've been separated. Our news is tearing us apart. So I really sort of wanted to get into how do we get it? out of that. And I don't just mean for, you know, this show tends to, you know, look at a perspective that, you know, we didn't celebrate wearing masks. We weren't really down with that. You know, most people watching this show probably didn't get the vaccine. But the truth is that our loved ones did, you know what I mean? So many, and we're having this just, this impact. So to begin with,

you know, do you, do you have a sense that our society is, you know, until really? Yeah. Well, Well, I mean, if you look at the numbers of the stress levels that are happening in the world right now, I don't think there's been a time in history where the stress levels have been as high for many reasons, right? During the pandemic especially because there was so much confusion, there was so much lack of trust, etc. But there were two primarily behaviors that I believe were forced on us that created this rage, this uncomfortable feeling that many of us are having every day. The first one was isolation. Yeah.

Isolation. When you look at the isolation mode, that is actually considered torture in some places. It's one of the worst things you can do to a human being because as a human being, we're meant to be connected with others. If you want to punish a child, you can yell at them. You can even spank him if you believe in spanking. But if you really want to punish them, put them out there by themselves to spend the rest of the day in their room without talking or seeing anyone else.

That is torture. The second thing is fear, you know? We know that one of the things that keep us from truly being at peace and joyful and fulfilled is to be able to live in peace. When you're living in fear, all of the sudden now, you're being told to be careful, to be always on the defense, to be guarded. And then that fear, unfortunately, caused a lot of people to recognize that none of that was really necessary. And now they're angry about it because they were people that did not get together with their loved ones during a holiday. I have met parents that did not get to walk their daughter down the aisle because they had to do a virtual wedding. They waited all their lives for that moment in life.

I have had individual friends that lost their loved ones in a nursing home and they were not allowed to go in. That will make somebody angry. And I think that those emotions are the ones that people are now trying to see, how do I express? How do I get back to feeling good again? Because they're justified emotions. I mean, in some ways, you know, I think we talk a lot about like unjustified, right? Like you're taking things too seriously. But these are serious problems, right?

These are serious things. Not being allowed to be with your loved one when they're passing away. I mean, when I talk to people, I don't know what to tell someone in that situation. Like that's wrong. It's just wrong. How does someone deal with truly being wrong versus, it's not in your head, you're right. That shouldn't have happened. So one of the things that when I wrote the book, The Power of Self-Healing, one of the things that I did is I interviewed about 50 people that were able to heal of a terminal condition. And I asked them, what are some of the things

that helped you? And then I went into the science and started to figure out, is there science behind this? And there was once a specific emotion that I think is important in this case, because I believe it starts there, and that is forgiveness. In this type of case, the behavior might have been wrong, but if you take that negative charge, resentment, anger, that changes the chemistry in your body that now produces, like cortisol levels that are very high, that destroy the body, that create more stress in your system.

So don't forgive, perhaps, the behavior, but forgive yourself for buying into that behavior. And that's where the magic is. Because I get angry at myself, right? And that's why I'm angry. But I cannot change any behavior external of me. But now I can forgive myself for buying into that behavior and make better choices today and move on.

Instead of hanging on to the fact that I lost my business because none of my clients could have come in for six or eight months and I couldn't afford it anymore. Right. Or all of the sudden, you know, I... Are you saying you think? think that a lot of this rage that we think we're putting it on other people is really towards ourself, that there's this self-hatred that's going on?

Because we're the only ones that can allow ourselves to give permission to actually have an emotion impact us negatively. You know, I can have somebody, like I give you an example, you know, I think I share with you in the past that my brother was killed at 27 years old. I was angry. He was my older brother, my closest brother. So, I think I shared with you. I cannot change that behavior, but I was angry at my brother for being so naive and hanging around somebody that would do something like that. And then I realized that why am I so angry? I spent three months in therapy and none of it was helping me. I couldn't sleep. I lost a lot of weight until the day I realized, you know what? I need to forgive him and I need to forgive myself for all this anger, right?

And even though the behavior still took my brother away, it was until I started forgiving myself for buying into that anger and disrupting my health, disrupting my life, disrupting my studies, that all of a sudden I was able to release it. And ever since that day, I don't feel anger anymore when I think about that. There's a lot of people. I'm going to go to a much harder place here, I think, and it's sort of because you brought it up. There's so many people we know now whose loved ones are done. dying or having serious injuries, you know, in some cases saying they believe it's after the vaccination, which then puts you onto this. The government forced my loved one or made us believe of the televisions we watch like

this, you know, but when you lose something, it's so young, I mean, we're just seeing so many of these people dying so young. And, you know, how does someone, do you have to allow, because we hear about the stages of depression, right? Do you have to allow yourself moments? of anger and rage or do you push it down and hide it? Like what, you know, what is the appropriate way to deal with an immediate moment of real tragedy and travesty in this sort of world we're talking about?

Well, in my experience, I've learned that it's important to embrace that emotion first. That's how we begin the process. You embrace it and then you take a look at it and then you go through the emotional grief or the emotional pain or whatever you have to go through. don't stay in that place too long. That's the key. If you stay in that emotion too long, that's where it starts staring down the body. I will make you sick, right? And then the next step is learn from it and then do something different about it. In your case, for instance, you've stood up and said, you know what? I'm going to use my platform in order to bring awareness

to people. But look at all the millions of people that have supported you, including myself, because now we recognize that we have a voice out there that we can support. So take an action step that is a constructive action step towards changing the future, not necessarily trying to change the past because we have no control over what happened. Yes, I'm angry and yes, I want these people to pay, but how much control do I really have about that? Now, what I can do is what can I do today to ensure that I never find myself in that position again, emotionally or physically, et cetera. And that's why it's so important that people not only take this great knowledge right now,

but begin to change the way they think and the way they behave towards the future, because there will be other pandemics coming our way. There will be other viruses that will be introduced, and there will be more information that is misconstrued that will not allow us to really live life the way we were destined to live life. Yeah, I mean, you know, when you say that, I've done a lot of work with parents whose children regressed into autism after vaccination. And I was talking about I was riding with a father once.

And people will come up to me and say, you know, Del, thank you for getting involved in this topic. I mean, you have no skin in the game, you know what I mean, as though I have some altruistic mission. And the truth is, is I say, but my kids are healthy. And I'm looking at a world that's trying to give them products that I want control over that. I'm not here to tell people how to live their lives, but I want, these are my children, I want control over my children. So I always say that's my skin in the game. I have the most obvious human nature, which is to protect my children, right?

That's, I think the most true and simplest fatherly instinct there is. But I was in a car riding with a father who's done a lot of great work, and I said, you know, I think you people, you parents that have gone through this incredibly devastating situation, It doesn't go away. You're working constantly at home, you know, trying to deal with a child. Many times you can't even bring the child out in public because it's just too dramatic a situation. I said, yet you come out and you are trying to warn other parents. That to me is the altruistic characteristic because it's not going to change what happened to your child. And, you know, he said something.

I said, is it a rage? Is it just a getting even in a rage that drives you? He's like, no, that's not what drives me. It says what drives me is I need to make it mean something. I need what happened to my child to not just be just a life lost. I need to say that that happened to inspire me so that I can make a difference and save other children or this is all meaningless, that life is meaningless. And so I guess that that's really what you're saying is we need to take that energy and then make it mean something in our lives and those around us. and be able to support the causes that are actually moving the world towards a better understanding and better behaviors.

You know, I often find that a lot of people want change, but they're not willing to invest in a political action committee or somebody that is actually out there fighting the bills that are trying to change the way we do life every day. And I asked them, and I said, well, why don't you, even though you have no ability to maybe you're not an attorney, you're not going to go out there, the bill yourself, why not just donate to a cost that is doing that for you. And a lot of times people prevent themselves from supporting something. So that is one easy way to do it. Support a cause that is actually moving things forward. The second one is recognized that even though your child may not have been impacted, maybe their friends are being impacted.

So now not only you're trying to protect that child, but you're more importantly trying to protect that child from the feelings and experiences that their friends are struggling with. I mean, I have had some of my kids' friends that are really going through some devastating issues, and that's impacting my children, and even though they said that, why are we so fortunate?

Why are we not going through something like that? I always say, well, let's be grateful for that, number one. But number two, let's be compassionate and let's be loving because your friend needs you today more than ever. So I think a parent can actually support a child by really asking the child the questions of how is your life being impacted? Because so many times as parents were so wrapped up in our lives, you know, we're the provider, our business is impacted, our relationships are being impacted.

Look how many divorces happened during the pandemic because people were so stressed out. They just couldn't have the bandwidth to make a relationship work. So that has an impact on that child. So now that child is going through so much. And that's one of the challenges that I'm seeing. like, I just read a statistic yesterday that said that teenagers overdose, right, for opio, for the pain they're going through, double in the last two years. Wow.

That means that they're dying, double death, right? They double in two years because they're in so much pain. Suicides in teenagers, as you know, are the highest that they've ever been in the history of teenagers. We need to really be empathetic. We need to be patient. We need to be caring and loving. and we need to be still.

I always said that our children will respond on the way that they see their parents respond. If you freak out, their child will freak out. If you be calm and you're going to look for information and watch shows like this that bring very much the facts behind a lot of the things that we are not previewed to seeing on regular media right now,

that's important. Invite your child to watch our shows so that way they can actually be informed at the same time we have a slide about this we take a look at them there's a slide on child depression this is effects of the pandemic on teen mental health percent of parents noticing a new problem or worsening of an existing problem I think simply put it's how many people believe the anxiety is worse in teen girls 36 percent of parents believe their teen girls

anxiety has gotten worse 31 percent teen girls depression sleep issues 24 percent Withdrawing from the family, 14%. Then on the boys' side, anxiety, 19%, depression, 18%. Sleep issues, 21%. Withdrawing, 13%. Aggressive behavior is 8%. You know, I think about boys. You know, we always look at the girls,

and I look at those stats, and I think about, you have his son now, he's getting to be 13 years old, and he's getting quieter, getting more withdrawn, you know. And you start remembering, oh, my God, that's what I did. And so how much, like, just specifically, with boys, it always, you know, I think girls in some ways show their depression. Is it possible that those numbers are higher in boys, but they're just not? We kind of just shove everything down.

I think that for whatever reason, we've given permission for girls to be more expressive in their feelings. Boys a lot of times don't know how to sometimes share their feelings because they don't want to be laughed at by their friends. They perhaps don't think that their parents want to hear it. because they see their parents struggling with their own issues. So I think it's important, especially when you have a boy, to make sure that you're making the extra time to engage. But one of the things that we've learned is that a lot of these conditions can be changed by simply engaging in activity rather than thought.

See, the problem is when you're going to isolation, you have too much time to think. Depression, fear, anxiety, all of that is a thought process. So when you switch the behavior and said, hey Johnny, why don't we go fishing today? Let's take the dog for a walk and let's have a, you know, let's talk. Let's catch up. I want to see what's going on in school. Or, you know, hey, kids, we're cooking tonight.

Why don't we all, you know, cook this meal together? You do the pasta. You do the water. You do the sauce, you know, and engage them. But the key thing as a parent is engage them in activity rather than thought. And then you'll see how that child now begins. Sitting and just, you know, wanting to have a conversation, not as good as getting them up moving, doing something.

Difficult. Difficult. because a lot of times they don't know how to properly express those feelings. They don't even understand them. Let's take this for instance, you know. We know that right now there is a tremendous amount of depression and anxiety. We're seeing some of the statistics, but it's alarming. In many of our schools, right, depending on where you live in the country, where you live in the world,

the schools created policies that some went one way and others went a different way. Now, your child is right now. they have to adhere by those rules even though they may not agree to it in order for them to go to school. So whether it's the masking issue, whether it's the isolation of six feet, whether there's any of those issues, now that child has had their work completely disrupted. I still remember when my child was in college, right, and he had just started the fraternity, the dream of him to be there learning school, being part of the fraternity, and then all of a sudden the new mandate started in the that university and he said that they send us all home to do online schooling I'm coming home

right now for a year they weren't able to go back and he said you know that I thought this college was going to be a whole different experience for me he said his friends were getting so depressed and they were playing with you know painkillers and opioids and drinking too much and experimenting maybe with some drugs and why is it because they're coping with something they don't understand. So we have to be engaging with our children and they, we need to make sure that we truly understand what's going on underneath it because I think that's what's driving a lot of the destructive behavior. It's the fact that they need to let it out and they don't know how to do that. I was, you know, and I think in some ways I was out of my league, I was, I mean, because this

isn't this area of focus, but I was talking to a parent just in one of my speaking engagements And she said, my child's going into college. That college is now wanting vaccination records, things like that. We haven't done that. I'm trying to work my way through. You know, he's worried about the potential of future lockdowns. And I've also been dealing with parents and some really close friends of mine, where I spoke to their college-age students, a really good friend up in New York through all of this.

She's, you know, NYU, things are going well, actress. And then all of a sudden, you need vaccines, you need all these things. and you know she there's a real conflict that I said look you know I think that you should take some time off I would I would say just step out of that system for a little while and I remember at that age in college everything seems so immediate like it has to happen now I've got to graduate by this date and you know we're so driven by goals and ideas of where we're going to be and when we're going to be there and you know I don't know if this is I'm going to ask you is this good advice I'm saying to this mother now because he's going in I said I think we have to start teaching you teaching our teenagers, especially those going to the college where we're not going to be there anymore, we can't protect them, to start accepting that these timelines in the world are not going to run the way they have all the way up until this point. There may be other lockdowns in the future. There may be things that derail your education for a little while. You've got to start recognizing that you have so many years ahead, so much time out there. And we need to start helping our kids get out of this sort of clock-driven, you know, end, you know, and, you know, you know, you know, end result-driven, you know, expectation because there's going to be so many things really outside of their control. I think that especially this generation has been known as the ones that want instant gratification. They set a goal.

They set that goal. They want to achieve that goal. My oldest son, he finished graduate school, got his dream job. And because of the pandemic, the company folded and had to close their offices. Wow. Imagine that all these years working towards that dream. And what I said to him, I said, understand that it's only through change that we grow. So embrace change.

You know, there was a book that I read many years ago called Who Moved My Cheese? That changed my life. Who Moved My Cheese? And it's one of the best-selling books in corporate America to invite people to understand. It's a very simple book that you can read in one day, but it gives you the four different ways to respond to change. And when you embrace change and you realize that. that change is only there to push you in a little different direction that is going to be better for you in the future.

Now all of a sudden you embrace that you look forward to it instead of resisting it, which is where a lot of people end up getting depressed and anxious and frustrated. Let's look at those stats. You sent over a slide I think is really interesting on adult anxiety and depression. Brio, pandemic causes spike in anxiety depression. Look at this, folks. The dotted line is where we were in 2019, you know. An average of 10%.

Right, average right around 10% in all these issues. Symptoms of anxiety disorders, symptoms of depression disorders, symptoms of anxiety or depression disorders. And you can look at as these bars are going, the gold on the left there, that's June 2020, December 2020, it's going up, June 2021, down a little bit. But I mean, we're just, we're at, you know, three to four times the level of anxiety. And it's coming from so many different places. So, you know, we've talked about the children.

Now our children are watching us, right? They're viewing us. And how can I help my kid if I'm a freaking basket case myself? And, you know, these statistics, the thing that was alarming to me is that this is all happened, you know, between 12 and almost 32% increase in anxiety and depression over the last two years alone. Experts are now predicting that that's going to only get worse. Because as people are now trying to figure it, out how am I going to adapt to this new lifestyle when we don't even know what to expect in the

future? There is so much uncertainty about the future, you know, that we don't even know what's coming in the next six months, right? A lot of times in the beginning I was telling people, oh yeah, we need to just learn to live in the new normal. Well, there is no new normal because the new normal means it's going to constantly be changing. And that's why with my kids, what I try to do is share what I'm going through as an adult, in my businesses, in my relationships, in my relationships, in my life. So that way they see how that is responding. So you're transparent about like the issues you're having in every aspect. Is there an age at which that starts? Because there must be some age.

I think that the early, the better. I've always had that trust that our children are wiser when they're younger than they are when they're older. They can receive more information. They have an ability to adapt. Why? Because the brain is much more active. And the word is plasticity. Neuropasticity is the highest when you're younger between the ages of zero to seven. That's why that age is so critical when we're trying to teach new behaviors and thought patterns to our children. So I would say be transparent. I give you an example. One of my companies, I have four companies. One of my companies is a public speaking company. I do about 70 lectures a year. We went from booking the whole two years in advance to zero after March 1st.

Right. Completely nothing. Yeah. So that company financially was a huge. Now, what I did is I started pivoting and I started trying to figure it out, would these companies be willing to bring me online? A lot of my friends that are public speakers, especially the elders, felt very uncomfortable trying to deliver a speech online and they stayed behind.

And they got depressed. Some got suicidal because they didn't know how to shift the fact that they've been a public speaker for 35 years. All they do is public speaking in front of an audience, a live audience, and they didn't know how to turn it into a virtual audience. Right. You know, so with my kids, I told them, I said, look, this is what dad is doing. What do you think? And I engaged them. So now they were part of their solution.

Why? Because they know better social media than me. They know better their online world than me. And they were like, dad, why don't we open this account? Why don't we, you know, when you do that speeches, there a way we can do mini reels or TikToks. I mean, I never heard of TikTok. Right. And they were actually taking what I was doing on an adult basis to protect my business, my income.

They were actually helping me and they felt very good about it. But that taught them that they could do the same if they were ever in a situation like me in the future. That's great. You know, I think for a lot of people, we may not know we're actually expressing. I think we've gotten so good. I'm one of those people. Like, I just power through. I will say I'm starting to feel like everything's like, oh, my God, I'm so busy.

I can't seem to get on top of all of it. That's probably my own doing. But I mean, I think when we really check in, you sent over this slide I think is really important. How to really analyze our stuff? Take a moment to figure out if maybe we are sort of stifling something. So signs that it's time to pay attention to your mental health. So take me through this a little bit. Like what is it you're looking for?

These are the signs that most people, and this is based on a lot of surveys, are now beginning to recognize that they actually may be struggling during this pandemic when it comes to their mental health. And actually, even the word mental health now, I'm trying to invite people to consider mental well-being or maybe even mental fitness, somewhere that, something that they can do positive about it. But if you look at the slide, you notice that most people have been expressing a lot of low energy. They say, I don't seem to have the energy to be able to move forward. Or perhaps the sleeping component. If you look and talk to people in your own family

or even people in your friends and colleagues, they will tell you that they're really having a lot of difficulty with sleep. Or perhaps that they're having difficulty, you know, being able to deal with a plan that they have for themselves and all of a sudden that plan changed and how do I respond to that? I mean, there are so many things here that I wanted people to be aware of. But the most important thing is that any time you feel that you're experiencing something that does not feel right for you, you know, that doesn't allow you to feel a state of peace, a state of joyfulness, a state of happiness, that's the time to actually begin to recognize. That's your body trying to tell you, hey, we need to do something here. You know, I often come to me because, you know, I'm a doctor. I've been very successful in dealing with pain in my life. And people say to me, you know, I just want to get rid of this pain.

And I give the example. Think of pain as a smoke alarm. So visualize this for a moment. You're in your house. You have a smoke alarm. What is the purpose of a smoke alarm? Let you know there's smoke in the house. Right?

And why is the smoke, right? Because of the fire, right? So all of a sudden what happens is that the pain is the smoke alarm. It's the alarm system of the body telling us, hey, there's something going on that you need to pay attention to, right? because otherwise the price may be a burn house, a burned body. So what happens is most people take that alarm and I take that... Oh, battery out. They put the battery out.

So that's the symptom, right? So you put the battery out. But before they put the battery out, they're going to put some kind of tape in the speaker. So you're going to numb the symptoms. That's what pharmaceuticals do. They numb symptoms. But did it do anything to change the smoke? Did it do anything to change the potential of fire?

Right. No. And if you take the battery out, now all of a sudden you have complete numbness. So those are the surgeries. People cut out the nerves so that way they could actually not feel, you know, anything. But what does that do for the smoke and the fire? Nothing. Now you put yourself and your body in a more vulnerable position because you shut down the communication channel of the body to be able to perceive danger. Right. So now you are really susceptible to actually die, to have the worst chronic illnesses in the world, because your body can even tell when it's suffering or not, because there is no sensitivity to alarm your brain that there is a problem. And that's what I want people to understand. When they're going through a lot of these individual opinions, and I call it opinions,

I tell my patients always, don't think that the surgeon went to school to try to harm you. That is not. They just were trained to do surgeries. Don't think that the medical doctor is trying to harm you when they prescribe medication or even perhaps to do the vaccine. You know, the problem with that world right now is that the consumer has lost trust on the medical establishment. Yeah. Because they discovered that there was another way of handling this. I could have built my immune system. Right, right.

That's what I did. I built my immune system to the point that it doesn't matter what virus of a cancer. I'm going to be exposed on. I know my body has an immune system capable of dealing with that. Right. I've studied it for 35 years. But the average person, unfortunately, they said, no, I have to do it. Okay. So I did it. Yeah. Some have side effects. Some didn't have side effects, right? Yeah. The challenge is that you're still dealing with something that you were not willing to do. Right. And you were stuck with that. That's where you have to deal with it. So now, what do you do? There's ways to purify some of the toxicities that are in. inside these vaccines or pharmaceuticals or whatever you're taking. If you were in a long term, you know, let's say that you have a heart condition and they give you, you know, a medicine

that you're going to have to take for the rest of your life. Well, as you know, that's toxic to the body. Yeah. But why not do a cleansing? You know, why not try to find alternative ways to lower blood pressure? To be able to lower cholesterol in your system. To be able to prevent a stroke naturally. That's been the world that I wanted to be a part of. Yeah. Why? Because it empowered. the person to take responsibility for their health instead of being dependent on somebody else's opinion. Yeah. I don't want my health to be at the hands of anybody else. Right. True. Right. Yeah. So yeah, maybe not everybody wants to be a doctor like me, but they should at least know enough of their body because you know what, this human body is the only one you're going to have for the rest of your

life. Well, and I think just like you've said, you know, whether it's just a pain and your life didn't go the direction you wanted to go or it's actually a feeling. physical pain because of something going on, we can treat those as our enemies, or we can say these are turning points of change in our lives. I always say, you know, I, you know, look back at those really difficult moments or break up in a relationship or some catastrophic incidents. I've had houses burning down. And, you know, you can look back at those moments. And usually when you look back of them in your rearview mirror, you say, I'm, I found what I was looking for, or my life really transitioned because, and I would always say the most, you know, the most,

most transitional moments, the most guiding moments are the most painful ones. I've tried to, you know, and my wife and I, because we, you know, meditate every day. And when I find myself in the middle of conflict and pain now, I say, I don't want to look at this in my rearview mirror and say, wow, that was a blessing. Let me experience it as a blessing now and see what it's trying to teach me and be more open to it. I want to go through. You sort of, we've talked about the anxiety, depression in adults, how we sort of see that happening with ourselves. You have some a really nice slide on solutions, right, on things we can do. So this is key ways to take care of your mental health.

Sort of like we used to do with the kids participate in physical exercise, like get up, move around, you know, so tell me just, you know, what is it I can do? Coming out of this, and as I said, there's so little time in the world. I think for some of us, we just keep shoveling away because I don't have time to take care of myself. I got my kids, you got the dogs. I'm trying to hold two jobs together. The house is falling apart. you know, the pipes furrows this winter, you know, whatever it is.

Well, one of the things that we have to recognize is that our health impacts every area of our lives. If you don't take care of your health, if you don't put that as a top priority in your life, you are not going to leave your potential in life. So, for instance, we know exercises the new medicine. If you can bottle all the benefits of exercise from producing endorphins, which are so good for the body, be able to produce oxytocin, which is one of the healthiest hormones, that are the happy hormones, etc., increased circulation, which allows your body's blood flow

to actually be flowing from top to bottom properly. Then you also have some of the other things that you can do that you can actually create. There's more sleep, a huge one. Begin to really organize your sleep. You know, one of the best things that you can do for your children and for yourselves is to teach yourself to go to bed as early as possible.

Because a lot of times people are doing, watching TV before they go to bed, And we know that that's going to stimulate the brain that is going to keep you up at night. So why not do perhaps a meditation of 15 minutes? I use a device called Brain Tap. Brain Tap is a headset that also has LED lights and over 1,500 meditations on sound. I love it. And the reason for that is because they call it mental fitness.

It lowers my brain so I can use delta waves that are going to put me into a deep sleep instead of using television that is going to make me a wait. So it's important to do that or perhaps sit in prayer. You know, when I wrote my book, The Power of Self-Hilling, I wrote about the power of prayer and meditation. But a lot of my friends were like, don't talk about prayer. That's more spiritual. And I said, no, because I use prayer.

And there's plenty of science behind prayer. And there's a lot of people that believe in using prayer. Right. So there are some people that don't do meditations because they feel that may not be, you know, their values. But there are other people that would rather do the praying. So then some of the other things that I also think is important is the connectivity with other people.

Yeah. I think right now a good way to be mental health is to surround yourself with the most loving people in your life. Yeah. So if you're a young man, pick the two or three friends that make you always feel the greatest. Don't pick the two or three that always make you feel bad about yourself or you're comparing yourself to

and wish you have more money, better looks, you know, or we're skinny. You know, and if you're an adult, do the same thing. Be selective of who you spend time with because there's a lot of studies that have shown that when we spend time with other people, we begin to vibrate at the level of the person that we surround ourselves with. So if they're negative, you're going to start being negative. If they are all of a sudden individuals that are unethical or perhaps playing in illegal

behavior, then all of a sudden that's going to seem okay to you because you're surrounding yourself with that. So the best thing that I can tell you is surround yourself with the most loving people in your life. And even if your family, it's a family that is not as connected, begin there, because they're the closest people to you. Spend more time with your significant other. Spend more quality time with your children. If you have aging parents, please make time for them because studies have shown that the loneliness and the isolation for an elderly person is actually leading them to not only depression and anxiety, but to also have an early termination in life

because they don't have a reason for living anymore. Well, Dr. Fab, we could go on for days and days. I think that's such a, you know, and I think we've just come on, it's Fourth of July, we're spending time, hopefully we're spending time with our family, our loved ones. Such great advice,

key and tune in with our children. Let's get up and move around. Let's have someone get physical. I think is a huge part. We've all sort of been locked down. Don't, I think, let our kids just sit there behind, you know, the laptop or the iPad. You know, get them up. Let's have some fun.

You've got some great books here. I just want to talk about it. You know, chicken soup, chiropractic soul, love this. The power of self-healing. Look, all of this, everything you've seen here, the slides, as always, will be available with this show. The hyperlinks. And if you were just simply part of our newsletter every Monday, you'll receive links to everything we've discussed and ways to get a hold of these books.

and some of the books we've discussed. Dr. Fab, you know, you just bring such a great energy to everything. You know, what are your last thoughts? Is we, you know, are you hopeful for humanity right now? Because I think there's so many people that are really fearful that there's just no reason to be alive. I don't know if they want to have kids. I hear people say, I don't bring kids in the world.

What are your thoughts on? So during times like this, I think of a quote by Albert Einstein that he said, you can't solve the problems. of today with the same level of thinking that created them. So my message is begin with your thinking, begin to think about things differently, begin to question things more than ever. Why? Because otherwise you'll be making decisions based on wrong information and that's when we beat ourselves up. I should have known better. I should have done my research. Before I

accepted to do that, I should have found out if there were other alternative. out there. That's been my world for all these years. So that's the first one. And the second one is another principle that I live by that says, do not let the circumstances in front of you define you. The only thing that defines us is how we respond. So pay attention to your response. It doesn't matter whether in your work they're forcing you to do certain behaviors. You can always change your work or you can do something about it and make a complaint, an official complaint. You know, if all of a sudden you have family members, right, that you just met with for July 4th and they're trying to force their opinions on you, just kindly, you know, be saying, hey, I agree to disagree, you know, I'm not trying to force yours. Don't try to force your opinion on me. I'm going to let you leave your own opinion. But at the same time, I'm going to still love you no matter what your opinion is because you're of my family, right? So be kind, be patient. And also, you know, understand that people are struggling today more than ever. This is a time not to be judgmental.

This is a time to be loving, empathetic, you know, and impatient. Yeah. Because especially the people close to us, because when they're struggling, if all of a sudden they feel that we have no bandwidth or interest in listening to their struggles, they're going to pull away and they're going to go somewhere else. We want to make sure that they come to us no matter how stressed we are. Yeah. Because we don't want to ever disengage to the point. that that's going to create a challenge in our relationship. So, and for you to treat yourself well, you know, you start with you first. Before you can help anybody else, and I'm talking to the moms right now,

they want to help everybody else and then they suffer themselves. Take care of you. Make time for yourself every day before you give to your husband, your boyfriend, you know, your children, whatever. Make time for yourself every day so you can feed yourself and have enough resource to give to somebody else. that you love. And that hopefully will allow them to be happier and healthier. Fantastic. Dr. Fad, thank you for taking the time to join me today. It's such an honor. Well, look, I mean, part of what we're talking about is getting with people that are of like

mind that you can actually enjoy being with, that your conversations, you know, make you feel good instead of attacked. One of the best ways to find your tribe is to let people know I'm here, I'm your tribe. Go to the high wire merchandise store to check out what we got there because when you're wearing that on the beach, guess what? We're that big now.

and join the thousands of Highwire insiders who find their tribe simply by being brave. Hashtag how I highwired. All right, I love it. Just another way to find your community over the holidays here on 4th of July. You know, it's already been a huge show, but there's so much information where I was trying to figure out, you know, do we go there? I'm going to go there right now. And especially because, you know, one of the things that I hear a lot about, you know, as I travel around is, you know, I can't get my husband to really. like sit down and look at this or look at this information.

Many of you come up and say, thank you for the high wire. My husband is now listening. But for those of you that are still struggling, you know, with the husband he's out there and, you know, he needs the facts. He needs something that grabs his attention. I think this latest study might just be the thing that does that.

Here it is. COVID-19 vaccination. That's the Pfizer temporarily impairs semen concentration and total multi-counts among semen donors. Here's what it says. Repetitive measurements revealed a negative 15.4% sperm concentration decreased on T2. That's the time period it was looking at, leading to total multi-count, 22.1% reduction compared to before, T.O. being the time period before they did this study.

I think this is alarming. This was their conclusion though, and I want to sort of have you focus on it. Systemic immune response, systemic immune response after the Pfizer vaccine is a reasonable cause for transient semen concentration and TNC decline. Long-term prognosis remains good, sort of a however. But let's actually look at the data, shall we? It sounds like, oh, I guess it's just a temporary deal, but let's look at what the data that they show in this study.

Here it is sperm concentration, and T-O is before you get the vaccine. You can look below T-1 is 15 to 45 days into the study. T2 is 75 to 150 days and then T3 is the 150 days or more. So that's that T122. So sperm concentrations, you know, it's fine at T0. It drops down 14% in that first 45 days, then down to 15.4% in the 75 to 150 days and then down to 15.9% in the 150 days or longer. And remember they said, you know, but it seems to resolve itself.

it ends up being okay. Really? Because look at this conclusion of motility. I mean, here it is. At the very bottom, total multile count. T1 is down 2%. T2 is down negative 22%. And this study ends after 150 days and it's still down 19.4%. I don't see any correction there. That looks like a problem, man. Your sperm is having an issue there, guys. You know, I mean, look at this is normal. This is like, you know, happy day in the park. And now we've got, definitely. devastation. This is it. Behind door number two, this could be yours. All right, folks. I want you to have a lot of fun this Fourth of July. It's so important to get out there and be with family. Let's sort of put a lot of this aside. I get it, you know, and we've got to

forgive each other. We've got to find balance. I want to thank Fat Mancini for just bringing this such a beautiful light to humanity and understanding that we are above all this. We've got turn our televisions off. You know, the only thing you should be watching right now is the high wire. You get the facts and then a sense of hope and maybe some solutions to add to it. I want to let you all know that I've got a great speaking opportunity and an opportunity for you to see me live in an event. You know, one of the things that I've said to you that I feel guided is that we're constantly trying to grow our audience. I'm not here to preach to the choir. I want to keep getting new voices, new thoughts, new minds to look at what we're talking

about. So I'm really excited that we've been invited to be a part of the Freedom Fest. Turning the Tide. It's in Las Vegas, July 13th through the 16th. I'm not just speaking there where I'm going to talk about the COVID crime. We're going to be doing a live show from there on that Thursday, live show July 14th. So right there in the middle of the event where you can meet all sorts of great, I guess, libertarians and freedom thinkers, liberty people. To me, it's not about politics is just about the truth. So we're going to be doing a live show that you can watch there and look at you get a discount if you register. Just use the discount code high wire 50. This is going to be a lot of fun and I think you really enjoy all the people that will be

involved with it. Oh, and by the way, I'm doing a panel with Richard Urso, Robert Malone, Pierre Corey. I'm hosting that. We're going to do this right in front of all these brand new hearts and It would be great if your energy was there because you may have been at this a long time. This event, we're going to open up some eyes with this. And the fact that we have those three guys answering the hard questions and really getting into what's happening in this world and how we're moving forward. I'm really excited about it. Okay.

It's all about freedom. We're celebrating freedom this week. It's the 4th of July here in the United States of America, but all around the world. I know that freedom is important to you too. We see ourselves as the beacon of light and hope here in America. Our Constitution is like no document that has ever been written before. To me, it is the greatest attempt at a way for a society to move amongst each other with limited amount of government interference and the maximum ability to be ourselves

and celebrate the individual. Let's remember that that's what this is about. Let's make sure our conversations talk about how fantastic we are as people. endowed by God with our rights, not by some government that thinks it's in control. It has no power over us. It is simply our dog. It should be on our leash. Let's get back to what it means to be free.

That means I control my decisions, not my government. You don't get to tell me when I can and cannot work. You don't get to tell me when I can and cannot breathe. You don't get to tell me whether I get to have a cocktail on the beach or not. This is America. And for the rest of you in the world, we plan on represent. sending ourselves well this weekend. I know I'll be out there. Have a great time and we'll see you next week.
