  Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of the Maha Lowdown.
• 0:15
  I'm Jeff Lauterbach, and I'm a national reporter for the Epic Times and Make America Healthy Again movement proponent.
• 0:25
  And I'm going to share my story about that, how I got involved in that in this segment.
• 0:30
  Um this show, uh, which includes three 17 minute segments.
• 0:35
  And I'm going solo today because I have a variety of topics to talk about.
• 0:41
  And the overall theme of the show today is apathy and faith, wellness and plot politics slash advocacy.
• 0:50
  And that really relates to a lot of uh Maha related topics.
• 0:55
  And we're also going to talk a little bit about uh how apathy relates to voting uh today is the Ohio primary.
• 1:04
  And May 19th is the Kentucky primary.
• 1:08
  I'm covering the Ohio primary here.
• 1:11
  Uh of particular interest is the Secretary of State race between Marcel Sturbich, who's a political outsider, and Robert Sprague, who's a longtime politician, and we're going to get into that.
• 1:25
  May 19th, um, covering the Thomas Massey Ed Gallrine primary, which Thomas Massey is a congressman in Kentucky.
• 1:35
  He leads the charge on a lot of Maha initiatives in Congress.
• 1:40
  And those of you who know uh many of you who listen to this show are Maha proponents.
• 1:47
  So you know that he's a uh conservative independent, more of a libertarian slash independent.
• 1:55
  And he votes, if you look at the congressional records, he does vote with President Trump about 90% of the time, but the 10% of the time he doesn't has drawn uh President Trump's ire.
• 2:07
  And uh millions upon millions of dollars have been spent in the Kentucky congressional primary to uh really rail against Massey and build up Ed Gallrine, who is an interesting uh uh candidate, and we'll get into that.
• 2:24
  Uh, but Thomas Massey, it appears that he's going to keep his congressional seat, at least in the uh he's gonna get through the primary.
• 2:32
  So we're gonna talk about a variety of those topics, and uh I'm gonna start with something that I think I'm gonna incorporate each week.
• 2:41
  Uh Maha wins.
• 2:43
  So Maha wins over the last week, uh week and a half.
• 2:48
  And I'm going to get right into that.
• 2:52
  So um essentially uh a lot of courageous Maha warriors stood out holding placards and chanted in front of the U.S.
• 3:01
  Supreme Court last week, and their voices were heard.
• 3:05
  Uh, that was about the people versus poison rally, which uh I'm gonna provide a few updates.
• 3:11
  I had Tiffany Ryder on last week, who is a health policy advocate and uh and she was the guest um last week's show.
• 3:22
  And uh also the House passed a version of the farm bill that killed a liability shield for Big Kim, and the Prime Act pilot was incorporated into the legislative text, and also making the news uh historic hearings on the COVID cover up.
• 3:41
  And that reminds that's reminiscent of Luke 817 in the Bible.
• 3:46
  There is nothing kept secret that will not come to light.
• 3:51
  So we'll really start about uh the farm bill.
• 3:57
  Excuse me.
• 3:58
  That's uh that's a topic that complements what's going on with that goes hand in hand with what's going on in the Supreme Court, where uh the Trump administration is supporting their Monsanto's uh bid to get legal immunity and um against health-related claims.
• 4:23
  So the farm bill, they voted the house voted in favor of Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who's from Florida.
• 4:33
  She had an amendment with uh the stripped sections 10205 to 10207 from the 2026 Farm Bill, which essentially removes a liability shield for companies producing herbicides like glyphosate.
• 4:51
  And it was pretty overwhelming, 280 to 142.
• 4:55
  What's interesting is I think it was 73 House members who were Republicans.
• 5:02
  That's all who voted for it.
• 5:04
  I think it was uh 200 um seven Democrats, which is really troubling.
• 5:12
  And I'm a conservative independent personally, and we're gonna get into Maha in the midterms a little later.
• 5:19
  And I think if more Republicans don't start stepping up, uh a lot of Maha voters aren't going to be voting for them in the uh voting Republican in the primary.
• 5:32
  So um another version of the farm bill which passed includes uh Thomas Massey's Prime Act pilot, and that expands exemptions for custom slaughtered meat to allow interestate sales of local beef, pork, and lamb to consumers, restaurants, and stores.
• 5:52
  A few weeks ago, we had on Mary Joe Perry, who is a regenerative uh cattle farmer, her and her husband have a regenerative farm down in uh Mississippi, which if you uh go to my Epic Times page or go to the Epic Times and enter into the search engine, Mary Joe Perry uh regenerative farm, Mississippi, something like that, or go to my author page and scroll down.
• 6:18
  Uh she's an example.
• 6:21
  Uh I had her on a couple weeks ago to talk about the product of USA labeling, which is another uh Maha win.
• 6:30
  And uh Thomas Massey, that's his move to enhance that.
• 6:35
  So that is a Maha win.
• 6:37
  Obviously, uh also in addition, um, Senator Ron Johnson, he's uh chair of the Senate permanent subcommittee on investigations, and he I would name if I had to name the most prominent and the most uh vocal uh make America Healthy again.
• 6:57
  Legislators, it would be Thomas Massey, uh Representative Luna, uh it would be Rand Paul.
• 7:00
  Thomas Massey, uh Representative Luna, uh it would be Rand Paul.
• 7:04
  It would be uh Senator Ron Johnson.
• 7:04
  It would be uh Senator Ron Johnson.
• 7:07
  He held a hearing titled Unmasked.
• 7:07
  He held a hearing titled Unmasked.
• 7:12
  How Biden Health officials purposely turned a blind eye toward COVID-19 vaccine safety signals.
• 7:12
  How Biden Health officials purposely turned a blind eye toward COVID 19 vaccine safety signals.
• 7:18
  That's a mouthful, I know, but I'm gonna talk about share my personal story a little later.
• 7:18
  That's a mouthful, I know, but I'm gonna talk about share my personal story a little later.
• 7:25
  I COVID was a wake up call for a lot of us, and um, I know I got involved.
• 7:25
  I COVID was a wake-up call for a lot of us, and um, I know I got involved into advocacy against lockdowns and mask mandates and vaccine mandates, and I poured myself into writing about it, researching it.
• 7:43
  So this is a topic that is really important to me.
• 7:47
  I firmly believe that people from that uh people who perpetrated that COVID fraud need to be held accountable.
• 7:56
  Um Ron Johnson's hearing focused on Biden era FDA officials who allegedly suppressed COVID-19 vaccine safety signals and early 2021 FDA senior medical officer, Dr.
• 8:10
  Ann Anna Zorfman.
• 8:14
  I knew I was gonna have trouble pronouncing that, and statistician Dr.
• 8:18
  William Dumochel applied an upgraded data mining method to Vare's reports, and this approach corrected a known masking flaw that allowed signals from one vaccine to be drowned out by others.
• 8:35
  And I'll go into a little bit more detail because I know this is a little complicated.
• 8:39
  Um their analysis uncovered approximately 25 new statistically significant safety signals previously missed, and that includes sudden cardiac death, heart attacks, pulmonary infarction, blood clots, bell's pose, dementia, and death, sudden death across Pfizer and Moderna and Johnson and Johnson shots.
• 9:03
  Dr.
• 9:04
  Zarfman shared these findings multiple times with senior CBER officials, including Dr.
• 9:10
  Peter Marks.
• 9:12
  She said she was told to stop producing reports with officials calling the work a major distraction that could fuel anti-vaccination rhetoric.
• 9:22
  That hearing, uh, that investigation is going to we'll probably have a show just on that as more details are uncovered.
• 9:33
  But when uh when I was talking about the 25 new statistically significant safety signals and read down the list, read down the list, uh sudden cardiac death, heart attacks.
• 9:46
  My gosh, uh that makes me think about the inserts on any vaccine, and especially the COVID vaccine.
• 9:56
  If you look at the inserts, why on earth, especially since COVID has a 99 plus percent survival rate, and the operation warp speed, which was brought in by President Trump was never necessary, and it's brought a lot of uh deaths and long-term health implications.
• 10:18
  And um I applaud Senator Johnson and everyone else who's researching this because this is something that uh should never have happened.
• 10:30
  We were told that the vaccine was safe.
• 10:34
  Uh, we were told that it would not prevent uh or it would prevent uh transmission and infection.
• 10:43
  Those were lies.
• 10:45
  Then we were told uh by the Dr.
• 10:47
  Fauci's and here in Ohio, the Mike DeWines and Amy Actins that it would not uh cause any health issues.
• 10:56
  I know President Biden said that too.
• 10:59
  That was a lie, and it's caused uh a lot of problems for a lot of people.
• 11:04
  And you know, I'm uh I I've shared my story about how I haven't had a vaccine since I was gosh, I think I was maybe 10 years old.
• 11:14
  And I had one friend, I I used to say I was not anti-vaccine.
• 11:19
  I had a friend who pointed out, well, really you are, because you use informed consent, and you know that uh the uh risks outweigh the benefits, and I'm glad that person told me that because that's true.
• 11:36
  I I just really encourage informed consent.
• 11:40
  And I I know better than to get a vaccine because there are herbal alternatives and the risks outweigh the benefits.
• 11:49
  So um, but that uh we'll be diving more into that.
• 11:53
  Senator Johnson's investigation.
• 11:56
  Another Maha win, the FDA released results from their largest and most rigorous examination of chemical contaminants in infant floor formula available on the U.S.
• 12:07
  market.
• 12:08
  That study found baby formula free of heavy metals and safe.
• 12:14
  And um RFK Jr.
• 12:16
  uh secretary of health and human services, Robert F.
• 12:20
  Kennedy Jr.
• 12:21
  talked about how the agency tested more infant formula than ever before, and the results are clear.
• 12:29
  Most products meet a high safety standard, but even small exposures matter for newborns.
• 12:35
  We will hold manufacturers accountable and give parents honest transparent data they can trust, protecting our children's health is non-negotiable.
• 12:45
  And let's go back to what he said, but even small exposures matter for newborns.
• 12:50
  How many times have we heard um to justify vaccines and chemicals and food and dyes and all that?
• 13:00
  Well, it's only a small amount, like uh, we're gonna get into the glyphosate issue.
• 13:06
  Even a tiny amount of glyphosate is is not good.
• 13:09
  And when we're talking about babies, much you know, vaccines.
• 13:13
  I know the vaccine schedule is going to be changed.
• 13:16
  That's what they're working on at uh HHS, but holding manufacturers accountable and giving parents honest, transparent data they can trust regarding baby formula, that's also critical.
• 13:29
  And um another uh Maha win that I'm really excited about is former NI AID employee David Morinz was charged with conspiracy against the United States destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment removal, or mutilation of records, and aiding and abetting, according to the Department of Justice.
• 13:56
  And Morens worked for that agency between 2006 and 2022.
• 14:00
  2022.
• 14:03
  So what acting Attorney General Todd Blanch said as alleged in the indictment, Dr.
• 14:04
  So what acting attorney general Todd Blanch said as alleged in the indictment, Dr.
• 14:10
  Morens and his co-conspirice conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID 19.
• 14:10
  Morens and his co-conspiracy conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID 19.
• 14:23
  So that relates to Dr.
• 14:23
  So that relates to Dr.
• 14:25
  Fauci.
• 14:25
  Fauci.
• 14:26
  So I know RFK Jr.
• 14:26
  So I know uh RFK Jr.
• 14:29
  and
• 14:30
  and Rand Paul are big proponents among others of having uh Anthony Fauci indicted and holding him accountable.
• 14:39
  And that goes back to what we were talking about a little earlier.
• 14:41
  It's important that these people are held accountable.
• 14:44
  And that anyone, I mean, by now it would seem like anyone with open eyes and critical thought will realize that uh COVID was not remotely what they said it was going to be.
• 15:02
  Masks were never necessary, lockdowns were destructive.
• 15:05
  There was a lot of fraud, a lot of people with their lining their pockets because of the vaccines.
• 15:12
  And it is important that uh that this is brought to the forefront, and I'm glad to see that.
• 15:21
  And we're these are taught all topics, these maha wins that there'll be future Maha Lowdown shows.
• 15:27
  Um, and I'll bring in more guests.
• 15:31
  And I was uh excited to cover the people versus poison rally last um week, and I had, as I mentioned, Tiffany Ryder.
• 15:42
  If you have not listened to that episode, I uh strongly encourage you to um we talked about the people versus poison rally, and that was regarding Bear Monsanto's appeal and Monsanto versus Durnell.
• 15:58
  And simply put, the maker of roundup, which is Bear Monsanto, they seek to strip the American public of their right to a jury trial in state courts following injuries uh allegedly related to exposure to the toxic chemicals and the weed killer.
• 16:16
  And there are a wide variety of people there big tree, Vonnie Harry, Kelly Ryerson, who I've had on this show talking, Thomas Massey.
• 16:25
  I talked to him afterwards.
• 16:27
  Um Dr.
• 16:31
  Alejandro Munoz, all sorts of prominent Maha proponents there, and it was exciting to see because it was bipartisan.
• 16:42
  Um I don't think I've ever seen uh a more bipartisan event that I've covered, and that's what's exciting about the Maha movement is that's one of the few things that uh Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, independents um really agree on, and uh I'm gonna be back in Washington DC in June when the Supreme Court makes their ruling.
• 17:12
  So another um another Maha win, and this is going to be a future episode.
• 17:21
  I'm working on this story.
• 17:23
  Steak and shake, they appointed Michael Bose as its chief Maha officer, and Michael, who I wrote a story on for um the Maha report, he is one of the authors of the 2025 to 2030 dietary guidelines for Americans.
• 17:42
  And what's interesting about that is um will it uh lead to more restaurants doing that because that's critical.
• 17:56
  And uh, when I when I come back, I'm gonna talk more about that and go more into uh Maha news and Maha wins.
• 18:04
  You're listening to the Maha Lowdown on America Out Loud Network.
• 18:08
  Have you been looking for a healthy snack for on the go?
• 18:12
  Well, not all energy bars are soft and sugary.
• 18:16
  Bear bars are a crunchy savory bar made from just six simple natural ingredients.
• 18:23
  Bear bars are plant-based, organic gluten-free, contain six grams of protein and are low temperature dried for unique crunch.
• 18:32
  Most energy bars are based on chocolate or fruit and are held together with syrups or sweeteners.

• 18:44
  I'm Dr.
• 18:44
  Kelly Victory with the wellness company, and I know this personally.
• 19:02
  So I began asking a different question.
• 19:04
  What can we do daily to support the body before something goes wrong?
• 19:09
  That question led me to formulate SHIELD.
• 19:11
  SHIELD is a two-part nutraceutical system designed to support immune balance, antioxidant defense, and cellular health, a chemical-free cocoa mix and soft gels containing medicinal mushrooms, turmeric, green tea extract, olive leaf, berberine, and black seed oil.

  Oral hygiene hasn't changed in 50 years, but our diet and the way we eat has creating an environment in your mouth for bacteria to wreck havoc on your teeth and gums.
• 19:46
  For better oral health, get spray dental defense, an oral care line designed to combat acid-creating bacteria.
• 19:53
  The toothpaste, mouthwash, mints, and gum all contain xylitol, and natural ingredients shown to dramatically improve oral health.
• 20:01
  Sprite can be found online and at all fine natural retailers.
• 20:13
  This is Malcolm Outlaw here.
• 20:16
  Join me in pushing back against censorship, my fellow Americans.
• 20:20
  Right at the top of America Outlaw Doc News are the words.
• 20:25
  Many voices won freedom.
• 20:28
  United in the First Amendment.
• 20:36
  America outmao.
• 20:39
  Liberty and justice for all.
• 21:00
  Guy got into uh steak and shake naming Michael Bose, who's one of the forces behind the 2025 to 2020 or 2020 dietary guidelines for Americans.
• 21:13
  He is the restaurant chain's first chief Maha officer.
• 21:17
  And steak and shake didn't stop there.
• 21:19
  They announced they're going to be serving grass fed beef.
• 21:19
  They announced they're going to be serving grass fed beef.
• 21:22
  Um it's interesting because uh uh Michael Bose, he worked with.
• 21:22
  Um it's interesting because uh uh Michael Bose, he worked with the USDA on developing the new food pyramid as a senior advisor and the office of the assistant secretary of health.
• 21:38
  So since uh Robert F.
• 21:41
  Kennedy Jr.
• 21:43
  during his presidential campaign and when he was named HHS secretary, one of his core platform points was making food healthier, eating real food, removing chemicals from food.
• 21:58
  Obviously, there's nothing, or a few things less healthy than fast food.
• 22:04
  So uh steak and shake is really stepped up uh to really focus on Maha Maha uh issues and uh what RFK Jr.
• 22:19
  has espoused.
• 22:21
  Uh steak and shake.
• 22:22
  I know over recent years they've struggled and they've had don't have as many locations, but they have 400 across the country.
• 22:31
  And uh the uh CEO of the owner of steak and shake talked about how appointing a chief maha officer is a sign of our continuing to continue commitment to make steak and shake the great differentiator in fast food.
• 22:46
  I think that's more than a statement.
• 22:48
  I mean, from covering the Maha movement and writing about these topics.
• 22:54
  There are some really coming to the forefront, and it'll be interesting to see if if they are uh more follow suit.
• 23:02
  Uh Michael Bose, when I interviewed him, he said he had his opportunity to impact the regulatory side, and now he has an opportunity to prove not only there's a regulation component, but also Maha can be the cornerstone of a brand.
• 23:17
  That's what's the fascinating part because can stake and shake.
• 23:21
  Uh, they've uh Michael Bose talked about how they've over the last year, they've had a 10% increase in sales.
• 23:28
  They implemented tallow, uh, making making their fries with tallow, uh, making their or serving real milk, whole milk.
• 23:39
  Um he talks about how, and this is so true.
• 23:44
  Fast food doesn't have to mean processed, complicated or artificial.
• 23:48
  It used to mean real simple and delicious, and it can again.
• 23:52
  And he talked about how when he was with HHS, he spoke to many industry partners and would ask them if there is a way they could work collaboratively collaboratively with the agency and reform the food environment.
• 24:05
  And they were saying, uh, well, our customers aren't demanding this.
• 24:09
  And he said he uh Michael Bose said he didn't believe that to be true, and how stick and shake is challenging the narrative.
• 24:17
  So we're really going to see that.
• 24:19
  This is a test uh whether there's a consumer demand for it.
• 24:25
  I know uh, and I'm gonna have him on sometime in the near future.
• 24:28
  Will Harris of White Oak Pastures, he's one of the pioneers of regenerative agriculture down in rural Bluffton, Georgia.
• 24:37
  I recommend visiting his place if you get a chance.
• 24:40
  And he was telling me when we were going around the farm, he was telling me ultimately it's going to be the consumer who makes the change because they're food makers, food manufacturers, food companies, restaurant companies, they're not going to implement these changes unless we as consumers demand it.
• 25:01
  And that's why the Maha movement is so critical.
• 25:04
  Um Michael Bose was talking about over the last 50 years, how many large food corporations have steadily replaced traditional ingredients with cheaper substitutes like processed oils, artificial additives and preservatives.
• 25:23
  These changes were rarely made to improve taste.
• 25:26
  Michael Bose said instead they often reflected pressure to reduce costs and maximize short-term profit margins.
• 25:35
  So again, steak and shake is essentially going to what they're doing.
• 25:44
  Uh, if if there's a big enough response, people are going to choose.
• 25:47
  You go down the road, like you go, say you're traveling or you're in a local metro area.
• 25:53
  Every exit has dozens of fast food places.
• 25:58
  People, uh, hopefully a growing number of Maha conscience people will see that steak and shake, that black and white sign, and and say, I'm gonna go to steak and shake.
• 26:08
  And steak and shake has restaurants in 23 states and 292 cities.
• 26:16
  So we shall see if uh if that leads to uh to more increase in sales.
• 26:25
  Obviously, steak and shake is those changes.
• 26:29
  I I think uh well, we've seen a lot of, I'm sure those of you listening or have researched this or have seen on social media how McDonald's used to have used to make their French fries and tallow and now has a laundry list of ingredients, um, none of which are healthy.
• 26:49
  So steak and shake last year made news because it they announced their fries, onion rings, and chicken tenders will be cooked in 100% beef tallow with no additives and preservatives.
• 27:00
  The chain also offers cane sugar coke to customers who prefer that over soft drinks containing high fructose corn syrup.
• 27:11
  Again, that's a uh key maha issue, and that is a that's a maha win.
• 27:19
  I I think that's uh really exciting.
• 27:24
  So um I'm gonna go on to some other topics.
• 27:32
  I think uh I think this is a good chance time to further the move to go away against glyphosate.
• 27:44
  Um glyphosate is pretty much everywhere.
• 27:47
  I know uh in February, February 18th, President Trump signed an executive order that propelled the domestic production of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate based herbicides.
• 28:00
  That's a mouthful.
• 28:00
  That's a mouthful, but uh what he did was invoke the Defense Production Act when he signed the executive order.
• 28:02
  But what he did was invoke the Defense Production Act when he signed the executive order.
• 28:10
  Shortages of phosphorus and glyphosate would create a risk to national security, he said in the executive order.
• 28:10
  Shortages of phosphorus and glyphosate would create a risk to national security, he said in the executive order.
• 28:17
  And elemental phosphorus is a key ingredient in glyphosate.
• 28:17
  And elemental phosphorus is a key ingredient in glyphosate, and the White House said it's essential to maintaining food security.
• 28:22
  And the White House said it's essential to maintaining food security.
• 28:27
  There's a lot of people who disagree, and I'm among those people who would disagree.
• 28:27
  There's a lot of people who disagree and
• 28:32
  I know in an earlier segment, I had John Clark on.
• 28:36
  He's an attorney, turned a regenerative cattle farmer in Vermont.
• 28:40
  He has several books, and uh he has the coming food crisis coming out.
• 28:46
  He's written a small farm republic and the war on farmers, how corporations activists and climate alarmists are fueling a global food crisis.
• 28:55
  So he was talking about how more people are becoming educated about glyphosate, and that's a silver lining to Trump's order.
• 29:06
  He told me the more people learn about it, the more they seek to avoid it and scrutinize their food labels, the more they avoid it, the more they purchase trustworthy organic alternatives, therefore, or thereby increasing demand for those safer offerings.
• 29:23
  And I know I've talked about uh glyphosate.
• 29:26
  I'm going to give you the glyphosate 101.
• 29:29
  Glyphosate is used to kill weeds and dry car crops before a harvest.
• 29:34
  Glyphosate tolerant clops crops account for a significant majority of the corn soy and cotton acreage on American farms.
• 29:44
  Through its subsidiary Monsanto, bear is the only U.S.
• 29:48
  producer of glyphosate.
• 29:49
  And again, that's the key ingredient in Roundup.
• 29:53
  And it's the most widely used herbicide in history, according to glyphosate, global glyphosate study.
• 30:00
  Another interesting fact today, 280 million pounds of glyphosate are sprayed on 285 million acres across the United States on farmland every year.
• 30:11
  That is, according to the nonprofit center for food safety.
• 30:31
  And that is what's key to developing alternatives to educating consumers and giving more money to regenerative farmers.
• 30:52
  And that organization has exposed, been focused on exposing the truth of what's in our food supply and informing the public about the benefits of organic food.
• 31:03
  She told me in an interview that the glyphosate, she called the glyphosate executive order a love letter to Big Pharma or Big Ag, which I believe to be true.
• 31:17
  And but she was saying the glyphosate executive order increased awareness of the chemical, much like COVID vaccine mandates escalated knowledge about the side effects of shots.
• 31:29
  And she talks about uh we will keep raising awareness of glyphosate and focus on solutions that include regenerative organic food, learning how to grow your own food organically and not waiting for or relying on the government to improve our health.
• 31:47
  I think that's a uh that's a key point because we can't wait for the government to improve our health.
• 31:57
  There's no savior uh, you know, it's not going to be President Trump, it's not going to be RFK Jr.
• 32:05
  even, even though he's doing a lot to raise awareness and to try to give more money.
• 32:12
  Uh, there was an initial 700 million dollar regenerative pilot earlier this year to help uh RFK Jr.
• 32:20
  talks about help farmers transition, have an off-ramp to regenerative farming.
• 32:27
  So that leads back to the Monsanto versus Dernell, the case now before Supreme Court.
• 32:39
  And demonstrators there warned a ruling in favor of bear could create a sweeping legal shield for manufacturers whose products receive EPA approval, and that would make it far harder for future victims to sue.
• 32:55
  Uh Bayer bought Monsanto in 2018.
• 33:00
  They have paid more than 10 billion dollars to settle roundup related cancer claims and still face tens of thousands of pending cases.
• 33:11
  If Bayer prevails, the protesters at uh People versus Poison Valley uh rally argued the precedent could extend far beyond Roundup and reshape corporate liability for generations.
• 33:25
  I'm gonna be uh writing a story and having uh Vonnie Hari on in the near future on the show.
• 33:34
  She's known online as the food babe, and she was one of the most or one of the events organizers, and she is one of the most uh prominent voices about uh the dangers of glyphosate.
• 33:48
  And she was talking about how, and this is so this was a point brought up by a lot of people there.
• 33:57
  You cannot claim to care about health while protecting poison.
• 34:01
  You cannot tell Americans to eat real food while protecting cancer-causing chemicals sprayed on it.
• 34:08
  And that is such a that's a simple statement, but so true and often overlooked because we could go to organic, or we could go to farmers, we could shift to eating beef, uh, the carnivore diet, which uh RFK Jr.
• 34:27
  is espoused, focusing on beef and ferment foods.
• 34:31
  We could get our focus on eating high protein meat and eating real food uh produce, but it doesn't matter if uh if it's sprayed with uh chemicals, if it's sprayed with glyphosate because it's not going to be healthy.
• 34:53
  And uh what is encouraging is that more people are aware of it, more people are speaking out about it.
• 35:00
  Speaking out about it.
• 35:02
  Uh Congressman Massey, as I mentioned, I'm covering his primary, which is May 19th.
• 35:02
  Congressman Congressman Massey, as I mentioned, I'm covering his primary, which is May 19th.
• 35:10
  He stepped to the microphone and I also talked to him afterwards, and he talked about how he's working with Shelley Pingry, a Democrat from Maine on legislation to block immunity efforts.
• 35:10
  He stepped to the microphone, and I also talked to him afterwards, and he talked about how he's working with Shelley Pingry, a Democrat from Maine on legislation to block immunity efforts.
• 35:22
  Uh, they they proposed the no immunity for glyphosate act, and
• 35:23
  They proposed the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act.
• 35:28
  And Shelley Pingry talked about how any farm bill that protects chemical companies over American families is not pro-farmer.
• 35:38
  It's not pro health.
• 35:39
  It's not pro-America.
• 35:41
  It's a big giveaway to big or it's a giveaway to big chemical.
• 35:45
  And that relates to the Supreme Court case too.
• 35:50
  Massey called out Susie Wiles, who's the White House Chiefs of Chief of Staff for working.
• 35:57
  She worked for a lobbying firm that accepted money from Incent Santo Bear, and that is wrong.
• 36:02
  Massey told demonstrators.
• 36:04
  That's why we have an executive order that we are fighting.
• 36:09
  Massey talked about how the federal government, particularly the executive branch, does not have the power to issue what he described as get out of court free cards.
• 36:20
  And that is what he claims or what he's espousing for.
• 36:26
  So that's a big issue.
• 36:29
  That's uh and at that rally.
• 36:33
  You had uh Thomas Massey, you had Democrat Corey Booker, Democrat Shelley Pingry.
• 36:41
  Um former Democrat Congressman, and he ran for president a few times.
• 36:48
  Dennis Kucinich, he was also campaign manager of RFK's campaign.
• 36:52
  They were all there.
• 36:55
  And uh what's interesting is uh a reporter asked uh Alex Clark if she believed there is still room for Maha inside the Republican Party.
• 37:08
  Alex Clark uh, she's a podcast host, and she was talking about that's uh she said that's up to the Republicans.
• 37:16
  If you're asking me yes, and I'm doing everything I can fighting tooth and nail to make sure that happens.
• 37:23
  But she added, I don't think the entire Republican Party is on board with that.
• 37:27
  And that is a costly mistake if you're asking me.
• 37:30
  And that is what I alluded to earlier how uh with the farm bill.
• 37:36
  It was uh 270, uh 207 Democrats and 73 Republicans.
• 37:43
  There needs to be more Republican support.
• 37:45
  And in the last segment, um, we're gonna talk more about Maha wins, and I'm gonna talk about my personal story and how this all relates.

  I covered the RFK Junior presidential campaign.
• 39:19
  I'm going to talk about my personal story.
• 39:20
  I talked about how this all everything we're talking about all relates to apathy, whether it's in faith, wellness, and politics slash advocacy.
• 39:31
  And I'm gonna uh talk about my personal story.
• 39:35
  It's been about a year ago that I stepped on the scale at a local gym.
• 39:40
  I'm six foot four.
• 39:42
  And uh most of my adult life, I've been between 215 to 220 pounds, but that started changing over the last five years.
• 39:49
  278 pounds is what I was uh a year ago at this time, and I was impacted in a good way by RFK Jr.
• 40:00
  and the Maha movement covering it.
• 40:02
  It's become my lifestyle.
• 40:04
  I eliminated processed and fast food, minimized sugar, started regularly walking and hiking, and that's how I lost the weight.
• 40:14
  Eating real food, that's why I'm a I'm a strong proponent of the dietary guidelines and the eat real food movement.
• 40:22
  Um, I'm gonna be talking to RFK Jr.
• 40:27
  Up in Huron, Ohio.
• 40:28
  He's touring a regenerative farm and gonna talk to him about that.
• 40:33
  And my body fat's lower, my energy levels are higher, I'm healthier, I fill fueled with momentum, and I'm back to between uh 215 and 220.
• 40:46
  And I'm at my next stage because I want to uh add muscle tone and muscle mass.
• 40:52
  I want to be more between 210 to 215 regularly.
• 40:57
  But the key is I have momentum and I've changed my habits.
• 41:01
  I'm eating real food.
• 41:03
  And I talked about, and I'm gonna share this in the article that comp accompanies this uh segment.
• 41:14
  I talk about how uh an article earlier this year.
• 41:18
  Usually a reporter avoids becoming the story.
• 41:23
  Um, but we're only human, and the stories we cover can affect us and aspires personally.
• 41:29
  And I talked about how covering RFK Jr.'s presidential campaign from start to finish, writing about the Make America Healthy Again movement and telling stories of regenerative farmers.
• 41:41
  That is really made an impact on me.
• 41:44
  And uh during uh I from April, I was trying to make sure I got the dates.
• 41:53
  April 2023 to August 2024, my epic Times beat took me around the country.
• 41:59
  I think I was in 28 states chronicling uh Kennedy's presidential campaign.
• 42:00
  In 28 states chronicling uh Kennedy's presidential campaign.
• 42:06
  And I joked that I heard his message of the need to address the U.S.
• 42:06
  And I joked that I heard his message of the need to address the U.S.
• 42:12
  chronic disease epidemic so many times that I could have delivered the speech for him.
• 42:12
  chronic disease epidemic so many times that I could have delivered the speech for him.
• 42:17
  But I wasn't living clean eating and healthy lifestyle and a healthy lifestyle weren't consistent priorities until last May, and I regained my momentum.
• 42:17
  But I wasn't living clean eating and healthy lifestyle and a healthy lifestyle weren't consistent priorities until last May, and I regained my momentum.
• 42:29
  And it's all about willpower and discipline.
• 42:32
  And I talk about apathy.
• 42:39
  What's different this time?
• 42:41
  I uh was raised in a non-denominational church, and I've been a Christ believer all my life, but there's a difference between being uh Christ believer and Christ follower.
• 42:51
  I've been lukewarm and I've not wholeheartedly honoring God, and I fully committed to my pay faith last year.
• 43:01
  And when I saw that 278 and knew I need to make a change, I prayed that God would restore the lost years when I hadn't been the man he intended.
• 43:12
  And a big part of that is being the disciple Jesus calls us to be.
• 43:17
  And a big part of that includes taking care of the body he has given us and the blessings of having health, mobility, and five senses.
• 43:26
  We hear about uh our bodies our temple in the Bible, and that's why uh uh I'm confident that I mean I have a renewed purpose because of my faith.
• 43:41
  And it talks about it takes willpower, discipline, and a commitment.
• 43:47
  I talk to people about giving yourself a season.
• 43:52
  We we live in a society that sells quick fixes, and there's no magic pill that's going to improve your health.
• 43:59
  I talk about uh in that article, wellness is an odyssey with a destination that is not reached overnight.
• 44:05
  It takes time, it takes discipline and willpower, and it takes commitment, and that requires a first step.
• 44:13
  So when I say give yourself a season, that's a sports analogy.
• 44:19
  I'm uh I'm a big sports fan.
• 44:22
  And what uh the simplest way to describe it when your team's in the middle of a losing streak, it has to be has to first win a game to stop the skid, and to start a winning streak, it must win a second and third game in a row and then develop some positive momentum.
• 44:39
  And that's what I started.
• 44:40
  I started giving myself a season three months, addressing inflammation in the body, uh consuming whole foods and herbs, and covering Kennedy and the Maha movement and regenerative farming revealed to me that our food supplies laced with chemicals.
• 45:00
  You go to the grocery store.
• 45:02
  I I never really paid attention to it.
• 45:05
  You go to the grocery store and then the produce section, and well, grocery store, all the items you can't pronounce the ingredients, and then you uh go to the produce section and the meat section, you don't know what's in that.
• 45:24
  That's why uh it's it's really critical to develop a network.
• 45:30
  Ultra processed foods have a long list of ingredients that even a writer has trouble pronouncing and spelling, and it's essential to know how our food is raised and where it comes from.
• 45:42
  And that is a message that as I alluded to earlier, and I think well, people like Zen Honeycut, John Clark have talked about how it's important to address what's going on with the glyphosate issue in the farm bill, and uh and um the Supreme Court, but it's also important to educate.
• 46:05
  It's important to educate uh farmers and educate consumers about where the importance of knowing where your food's raised and where it comes from.
• 46:18
  For me, I've been inspired by people like Joel Salatin and John Clark, Food Independent Summit co-founder John Miller.
• 46:27
  That event, uh, gonna have him on.
• 46:28
  That event comes up July or June 17th and 18th up in Ohio's Amish country, and that's called the Seed to Spoon Summit now.
• 46:37
  And that is what uh motivated me to source all my food locally, beef, chicken, and produce that was raised by regenerative farmers, free of chemicals and pesticides replaced unhealthy food from the grocery store.
• 46:51
  And I've been able to abide by that for the most part.
• 46:54
  Um, organic ground beef and eggs cooked with butter or beef tallow instead of seed oils, they've become everyday staples.
• 47:03
  And plants and herbs are among God's gift gifts to us.
• 47:07
  So I talked about how I personally don't take vaccines because of the long list of side effects, and it's been years since my last vaccine.
• 47:17
  I know I also avoid over-the-counter medicine for the same reasons.
• 47:21
  Um holistic health practitioners and naturopathic physicians are my go-to resources regarding medicinal herbs and remedies.
• 47:30
  Right now, it's interesting.
• 47:34
  Uh I'm going to talk about the victory garden in a second.
• 47:38
  Uh, this same guy who had never planted a vegetable until two years ago is now making or we're learning to make, I still have a long way to go, oregano oil and chloidal silver.
• 47:50
  I um bought a capsule maker and uh have prepared my own supplements like turmeric, ginger, cloves, cayenne pepper.
• 47:59
  I've incorporated intermittent fasting, which is a 16-8 model where eating only within an eight-hour window, and I've uh do occasional 72-hour fasts, which uh reduce inflammation.
• 48:14
  So um that um this this all interrelates to getting out of apathy.
• 48:24
  I mean, it's important to take that step and to keep educating yourself.
• 48:31
  And um, the Maha lifestyle is is my lifestyle now.
• 48:38
  You know, you can't uh you can't out train a bad diet.
• 48:41
  Uh if you're eating Big Max fries and milkshakes, that'll erase hard work in the gym.
• 48:47
  Heck, you can't, I mean, it's a good thing that steak and shake is doing what it's doing, but if you go to steak and shake every day, you know, that's not gonna get you to where you need, but consuming whole foods and herbs and incorporating walking and hiking will lead to favorable results.
• 49:00
  And incorporating walking and hiking will lead to favorable results.
• 49:04
  So down here, I'm in the Appalachian Foothills of Southern Ohio.
• 49:04
  So down here, I'm in the Appalachian Foothills of Southern Ohio.
• 49:11
  We have a nonprofit called Strangers Helping Strangers that is addressing food insecurity.
• 49:11
  We have a nonprofit called Strangers Helping Strangers that is addressing food insecurity.
• 49:19
  And I've talked to on the Mahalo Down, Jacqueline Capriati, who founded the Victory Garden Alliance, and it's all about regenerative produce.
• 49:19
  And I've talked to on the Maha Low Down, Jacqueline Capriati, who founded the Victory Garden Alliance, and it's all about regenerative produce.
• 49:30
  That's something that uh that I'm promoting.
• 49:36
  So that uh that's exciting because right now we're uh about in planting season, and I'm about to plant a victory garden, which became popular in after World War II.
• 49:50
  So um those uh those lifestyles that's uh that that essentially again removing removing apathy, that is the key, and that's all part.
• 50:10
  That's those are the exciting things about the Maha winds.
• 50:15
  And another Maha topic that uh I had Max Moran on, and he is uh in charge, he's one of the co-founders of We Are Mason County in Kentucky.
• 50:30
  I uh wrote about how two farmers, a family, Ida Huddleston and her daughter, Ida is 82, and Delja Bear, her daughter, they have uh over a thousand acres in Mason County, which is northern Kentucky.
• 50:48
  And this is going to be subject uh I want to talk about this for a few minutes before our segment ends and our show ends, and we'll explore it further.
• 50:58
  I had Max Moran on data centers, how data centers are impacting farmland.
• 51:07
  Uh Ida Huddleston and her daughter Delshaber were offered 26 million dollars for around a thousand acres of the farmland that has been in the family since the 19th century for the development of a hyperscale data center just outside of Maysville.
• 51:23
  And so to their surprise, uh the developer or representative who knocked on Ida Huddleston's door and Delja Bear's door.
• 51:36
  Uh they said thanks but no thanks.
• 51:39
  Uh the land is priceless.
• 51:41
  It's been in the family for generations.
• 51:44
  The Huddleston family has farmed that land for more than 200 years.
• 51:48
  And over generations, they've raised cattle, grown soy soybeans, planted corn on the property during the Great Depression when jobs disappeared and families lined up for food.
• 52:01
  The Huddlestons grew wheat.
• 52:04
  And uh they talked about how Ida Huddleston talked about her late husband.
• 52:10
  He built the farm, and there's a lot of memories there that 26 million dollars even can't uh replace.
• 52:17
  And a lot of the farms there families trace their landownership back to Revolutionary War land grants.
• 52:25
  And this is a Maha issue, and I hope there's going to be Maha wins related to this.
• 52:31
  RFK Jr.
• 52:32
  has talked about the importance of studying data center impacts.
• 52:38
  There's a lot of communities across the country that are fighting back and getting moratoriums and wanting to get uh or fighting to get more transparency, and that's the problem because residents are in the dark.
• 52:53
  The company that made the offer in Maysville or Mason County is unknown.
• 52:57
  Uh local officials describe it as a Fortune 100 technology firm that owns and operates large-scale campuses around the world.
• 53:07
  So the county planning commission unanimously and unanimously approved the development plans with conditions on April 22nd.
• 53:18
  And but uh we are Mason County is filed fighting back.
• 53:24
  They uh essentially Mason Mason County, and I was there, it's a beautiful area, hill after hill, farm after farm, cattles grazing all over.
• 53:33
  And Max Moran was talking about how, and he again is the co-founder of We Are Mason County, which is a grassroots organization of farmers, residents, and business owners.
• 53:46
  Uh what's happening in Mason County is a microcosm of what's going on around the country.
• 53:52
  Tech companies approach cash-strapped rural counties, they dangle the promise of economic development, and they require local officials to sign non-disclosure agreements.
• 54:04
  I've done tons of research on this, uh, writing more stories about it, and that is happening all over.
• 54:11
  NDAs are legal, but they show a lack of transparency because parties are making deals with local governments without residents knowing what's going on.
• 54:20
  That is what Max Moran said.
• 54:24
  And these data centers, they require a significant amount of land, water, and electricity, and they fail forever require the landscape of rural communities.
• 54:37
  Talked about earlier eating real food and knowing where your food comes from.
• 54:43
  Well, you're you can't get food, uh healthy food at least, if uh it's surrounded by uh data center.
• 54:52
  Uh these hyperscale data centers are escalating utility rates, shrinking farmland, create creating noise pollution, impacting air quality, and they take up massive amounts of water consumption and also contaminate the water.
• 55:11
  We already in 2025, 2.5 million acres of farmland were lost, 15,000 farms were lost, according to the USDA.
• 55:21
  And as Huddleston and Bear talked about, they measure their wealth and how well they can feed America with the food raised on their property.
• 55:31
  So that's an issue that we're gonna dive more into.
• 55:37
  I could go on talking about this for another hour, but we're coming to the end of this show.
• 55:44
  And I hope that you go to the uh Maha Lowdown page on America Out Loud Network.
• 55:54
  Also go to Maha Action and learn more about that.
• 55:59
  And uh hope you come back next week.
• 56:00
  Hope you come back next week.
• 56:02
  We're gonna have Katie Talento who's gonna talk about um her role in the Trump administration and how she uh impacted RFK Jr.
• 56:02
  We're going to have Katie Talento, who's going to talk about her role in the Trump administration and how she uh impacted RFK Jr.
• 56:14
  being on a vaccine commission and and how she's become a Maha advocate.
