In this episode, we answer the questions you might have about common and lesser-known autoimmune diseases: whether you are more prone during menopause, how hormonal changes may impact autoimmunity, some of the easiest lifestyle changes you can implement starting today, and perhaps most importantly that you are not alone. My guest today will share his unique experience with both arthritis and something I've dealt with in clients, spondyloarthritis. As a physician and a patient of arthritis, he has a very unique perspective on autoimmunity in menopause. My Guest: Dr. Micah Yu is an integrative rheumatologist who incorporates complementary medicine with traditional rheumatology. He is triple board-certified in Rheumatology, Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. He obtained his MD from Chicago Medical School and holds a Masters in Healthcare Administration and Biomedical sciences. He completed his internal medicine residency and rheumatology fellowship at Loma Linda University in Southern California. He is a graduate of the Andrew Weil Integrative Medicine Fellowship at the University of Arizona. In addition, he is certified in functional medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. He is able to understand his patient's medical problems from a patient perspective. The foundation of his practice is to combine allopathic medicine with complementary medicine. He works with his patients to come up with a treatment plan that not only fights the disease but also is aligned with his patient's goals. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:16] What is rheumatoid arthritis vs other types of arthritis? [00:16:00] How can people use integrative medicine to help with their autoimmunity? [00:18:21] Do people have to go on medications when they get diagnosed with a rheumatic disease? [00:26:01] Is there any connection whatsoever with post -exercise soreness and autoimmune response? [00:27:24] How will a plant-based diet sustain muscle? Don't Let Autoimmunity in Menopause Hold You Back What are the different Arthritis Disease? Gout NOT an autoimmune arthritis and NOT wear and tear. It's an arthritis that's inflammatory that's caused by uric acid deposition in the joints. Usually comes out as a single joint (e.g. big toe, knee) and get repeated over time. Rheumatoid Arthritis IS an autoimmune arthritis. Can attack multiple joints (e.g. fingers, toes, shoulders, elbows, knee) Usually come up with swelling, retinas, stiffness of the joints. Predominant in females Spondyloarthritis Overall arching term of different arthritis (e.g. psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) Usually comes out in fingers, TMJ (temporomandibular joints), elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, ankles. What is the medication for autoimmune disease? Depends on the background, beliefs, and severity of the disease. Some may use medications, others may use alternative medicines, supplements and therapists. What is a Whole Food Plant Based Diet (WFPB)? Helped Dr. Micah with pain remission after 2 months Whole foods include beans, organic tofu, edamame, fruits and vegetables. No highly processed vegan protein, soy protein. Soy is included in WFPB Has phytonutrients Decreases breast cancers Use clean unprocessed soy (e.g. organic tofu, edamame) Does not include processed vegan meat Some people may be sensitive to soy. What are Inflammatory Foods? Ultra-processed foods (e.g. fast food, chips, cookies, cakes, ham, pepperoni). Food with high salt. WHO says that diet must be up to two grams of salt. Seed oils can be inflammatory when used for cooking.

“We've just created a hereditary aristocracy in this society, and it has created a populist backlash.” (David Brooks, from the episode) There's a growing chasm that divides the affluent and non-affluent in American society, and it's perhaps most pronounced in higher education. The elite meritocracy suggests that we should reward individual ability, ambition, and accomplishment. But what is “merit” anyway? What is “ability”? And how do they factor in our idea of “a successful life”? In this episode Mark Labberton welcomes David Brooks (columnist, New York Times) for a conversation about elite meritocracy in higher education. Together they discuss the meaning of merit, ability, success, and their roles in a good human life; hereditary aristocracy and the populist backlash; power and overemphasis on intelligence; the importance of curiosity for growing and becoming a better person; the value of cognitive ability over character and other skills; the centrality of desire in human life; moral formation and the gospel according to Ted Lasso; ambition versus aspiration; and the impact of meritocracy on the political life and policy. About David Brooks David Brooks is an op-ed columnist for the New York Times. His latest book is How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. He is also the author of The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life, Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There, The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, and founder of Weave: The Social Fabric Project. Show Notes “How the Ivy League Broke America” (via The Atlantic) “The meritocracy isn't working. We need something new.” Money and the elite meritocracy “Every nation has a social ideal. And for the first half of the twentieth century, and the last half of the nineteenth century, our social ideal was the well-bred man.” (e.g., Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin Roosevelt to George H.W. Bush) “Rich people rigged the system.” “Now, if you come from a family in the top 1 percent, your odds of going to an Ivy League school are seventy-seven times higher than if you come from a poor family. And a lot of schools around the country have more students in the top 1 percent than the bottom 60 percent.” “We now have this chasm between the children of the affluent and the children of the non-affluent.” Shocking stats: “By eighth grade, children of the affluent are four grade levels higher than children of the non-affluent. People who grew up in college-educated homes live eight years longer than people in high-school-educated homes, they're five times less likely to die of opioid addiction, they're twenty-two times less likely to have children out of wedlock, they're two and a half times less likely to say they have no close friends.” “We've just created a hereditary aristocracy in this society, and it has created a populist backlash.” Too much power What is “merit”? How do you define “merit”? Who has “ability”? IQ is not a good indicator of merit. “Our meritocracy measures people by how well they do in school. The definition of intelligence is academic ability.” “What's the correlation between getting good grades in school and doing well in life? The correlation is basically zero.” “We measure people by how they do in one setting, which is the classroom. And then we use that to declare how prepared they are for another setting, which is the workplace.” “Augustine said, we're primarily not thinking creatures, we're primarily desiring creatures.” Leon Kass (University of Chicago): “What defines a person is the ruling passion of their soul.” “We become what we love.” Predominant emotion of fear Curiosity, the love of learning, and getting better every day “You're plenty smart. You're just not curious.” Tina Turner's memoir, discovering her voice and self-respect. “What matters is being a grower, the ability to keep growing.” “Getting old takes guts.” (David Brooks's eighty-nine-year-old father) A sense of purpose The drive for the future, to be bold Henry Delacroix and the genius of America to drive for boldness, hard work, growth, and energy Moral materialism Vincent van Gogh said, “I'm in it with all my heart.” Paul Cézanne and Émile Zola, L'Oeuvre Yo-Yo Ma, cello, elite performance, and passionate humanity: “I'm a people person.” “Look at these creatures. They're amazing!” Ordinary people in ordinary circumstances “Social intelligence” is not really intelligence—it's an emotional capacity. Individuals and teams “What makes a good team? It's not the IQ of the individuals. It's the ability to take turns while talking. It's the ability to volley ideas and to feed into a common funnel of thought.” Project Based Learning Most Likely to Succeed (documentary, High Tech High) The Hour Between Dog and Wolf John Coates Self-awareness and adeptness reading your own body Emotional agility “The mind is built for motion. That what we do in life, we don't solve problems, we navigate complex terrains.” “We're all pilgrims. And we're all searching for the journey that will transform us. And so it's, the mind is not this computer designed to solve problems. The mind has helped us navigate through a space. And if we do it well, then we become transformed.” Applying meritocracy to the 2024 election “If you segregate your society on IQ, You're inherently segregating on elitist grounds.” “The rebellion that is Donald Trump.” Jesus's form of selection—“When Jesus was selecting his twelve, he didn't give them all a bunch of standardized tests. … He saw that each person was made in the image of God.” “And to me, what (frankly) the Christian world offers us is a re centring of the human person.” Controlling the passions of your heart Christian humanism Ecce Homo Rene Girard and mimetic desire Ambition vs. Aspiration The gospel of Ted Lasso and David Brooks's favorite definition of moral formation: “My goal is to make these fellas better versions of themselves on and off the field.” *Still Evangelical* (essay by Mark Labberton) “Am I yet evangelical?” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

The Real Truth About Health Free 17 Day Live Online Conference Podcast
In a recent article on NAPA-Net, Fred Reish opined that PEPs—pooled employer plans—would come to dominate new plan adoption in the next five to 10 years. In this episode, Nevin (Adams) and Fred explore that possibility. To make his case, Fred posed a counter-intuitive argument, supposing that if we had started with a PEP architecture—one in which most of the liability (and decisions and administrative work) was left to others—and holding forth an opinion that if we HAD started there, would plan sponsors have ever wanted to take on that “extra” work and liability. Well, regardless of what you think about that premise, the reality is that we didn't, and that might well change the outcome—or will it? In this episode Nevin & Fred will talk about PEPs' prospects, the possibilities, the potential problems, and more.
Dr. Juna, host of the MindBodySpace podcast, alongside monthly special guest, Dr. April Hirschberg, Harvard Psychiatrist specializing in Mind-Body and Lifestyle Medicine Coaching, delves into the significance of opting for a plant-based or plant predominant diet.

Academic Research Researchers Use GPT-4 To Generate Feedback on Scientific Manuscripts https://hai.stanford.edu/news/researchers-use-gpt-4-generate-feedback-scientific-manuscripts https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.01783 Two episodes ago I shared the news that for some major scientific publications, it's okay to write papers with ChatGPT, but not to review them. But… Combining a large language model and open-source peer-reviewed scientific papers, researchers at Stanford built a tool they hope can help other researchers polish and strengthen their drafts. Scientific research has a peer problem. There simply aren't enough qualified peer reviewers to review all the studies. This is a particular challenge for young researchers and those at less well-known institutions who often lack access to experienced mentors who can provide timely feedback. Moreover, many scientific studies get “desk rejected” — summarily denied without peer review. James Zou, and his research colleagues, were able to test using GPT-4 against human reviews 4,800 real Nature + ICLR papers. It found AI reviewers overlap with human ones as much as humans overlap with each other, plus, 57% of authors find them helpful and 83% said it beats at least one of their real human reviewers. Academic Writing with GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT): Reflections on Practices, Efficacy and Transparency https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3616961.3616992 Oz Buruk, from Tampere University in Finland, published a paper giving some really solid advice (and sharing his prompts) for getting ChatGPT to help with academic writing. He uncovered 6 roles: Chunk Stylist Bullet-to-Paragraph Talk Textualizer Research Buddy Polisher Rephraser He includes examples of the results, and the prompts he used for it. Handy for people who want to use ChatGPT to help them with their writing, without having to resort to trickery Considerations for Adapting Higher Education Technology Course for AI Large Language Models: A Critical Review of the Impact of ChatGPT https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/machine-learning-with-applications/articles-in-press This is a journal pre-proof from the Elsevier journal "Machine Learning with Applications", and takes a look at how ChatGPT might impact assessment in higher education. Unfortunately it's an example of how academic publishing can't keep up with the rate of technology change, because the four academics from University of Prince Mugrin who wrote this submitted it on 31 May, and it's been accepted into the Journal in November - and guess what? Almost everything in the paper has changed. They spent 13 of the 24 pages detailing exactly which assessment questions ChatGPT 3 got right or wrong - but when I re-tested it on some sample questions, it got nearly all correct. They then tested AI Detectors - and hey, we both know that's since changed again, with the advice that none work. And finally they checked to see if 15 top universities had AI policies. It's interesting research, but tbh would have been much, much more useful in May than it is now. And that's a warning about some of the research we're seeing. You need to really check carefully about whether the conclusions are still valid - eg if they don't tell you what version of OpenAI's models they've tested, then the conclusions may not be worth much. It's a bit like the logic we apply to students "They've not mastered it…yet" A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis of ChatGPT in the Medical Literature: Concise Review https://www.jmir.org/2023/1/e49368/ They looked at 160 papers published on PubMed in the first 3 months of ChatGPT up to the end of March 2023 - and the paper was written in May 2023, and only just published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. I'm pretty sure that many of the results are out of date - for example, it specifically lists unsuitable uses for ChatGPT including "writing scientific papers with references, composing resumes, or writing speeches", and that's definitely no longer the case. Emerging Research and Policy Themes on Academic Integrity in the Age of Chat GPT and Generative AI https://ajue.uitm.edu.my/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/12-Maria.pdf This paper, from a group of researchers in the Philippines, was written in August. The paper referenced 37 papers, and then looked at the AI policies of the 20 top QS Rankings universities, especially around academic integrity & AI. All of this helped the researchers create a 3E Model - Enforcing academic integrity, Educating faculty and students about the responsible use of AI, and Encouraging the exploration of AI's potential in academia. Can ChatGPT solve a Linguistics Exam? https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2311/2311.02499.pdf If you're keeping track of the exams that ChatGPT can pass, then add to it linguistics exams, as these researchers from the universities of Zurich & Dortmund, came to the conclusion that, yes, chatgpt can pass the exams, and said "Overall, ChatGPT reaches human-level competence and performance without any specific training for the task and has performed similarly to the student cohort of that year on a first-year linguistics exam" (Bonus points for testing its understanding of a text about Luke Skywalker and unmapped galaxies) And, I've left the most important research paper to last: Math Education with Large Language Models: Peril or Promise? https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4641653 Researchers at University of Toronto and Microsoft Research have published a paper that is the first large scale, pre-registered controlled experiment using GPT-4, and that looks at Maths education. It basically studied the use of Large Language Models as personal tutors. In the experiment's learning phase, they gave participants practice problems and manipulated two key factors in a between-participants design: first, whether they were required to attempt a problem before or after seeing the correct answer, and second, whether participants were shown only the answer or were also exposed to an LLM-generated explanation of the answer. Then they test participants on new test questions to assess how well they had learned the underlying concepts. Overall they found that LLM-based explanations positively impacted learning relative to seeing only correct answers. The benefits were largest for those who attempted problems on their own first before consulting LLM explanations, but surprisingly this trend held even for those participants who were exposed to LLM explanations before attempting to solve practice problems on their own. People said they learn more when they were given explanations, and thought the subsequent test was easier They tried it using standard GPT-4 and got a 1-3 standard deviation improvement; and using a customised GPT got a 1 1/2 - 4 standard deviation improvement. In the tests, that was basically the difference between getting a 50% score and a 75% score. And the really nice bonus in the paper is that they shared the prompt's they used to customise the LLM This is the one paper out of everything I've read in the last two months that I'd recommend everybody listening to read. News on Gen AI in Education About 1 in 5 U.S. teens who've heard of ChatGPT have used it for schoolwork https://policycommons.net/artifacts/8245911/about-1-in-5-us/9162789/ Some research from the Pew Research Center in America says 13% of all US teens have used it in their schoolwork - a quarter of all 11th and 12th graders, dropping to 12% of 7th and 8th graders. This is American data, but pretty sure it's the case everywhere. UK government has published 2 research reports this week. Their Generative AI call for evidence had over 560 responses from all around the education system and is informing UK future policy design. https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/generative-artificial-intelligence-in-education-call-for-evidence One data point right at the end of the report was that 78% of people said they, or their institution, used generative AI in an educational setting Two-thirds of respondents reported a positive result or impact from using genAI. Of the rest, they were divided between 'too early to tell', a bit of +positive and a bit of negative, and some negative - mainly around cheating by students and low-quality outputs. GenAI is being used by educators for creating personalized teaching resources and assisting in lesson planning and administrative tasks. One Director of teaching and learning said "[It] makes lesson planning quick with lots of great ideas for teaching and learning" Teachers report GenAI as a time-saver and an enhancer of teaching effectiveness, with benefits also extending to student engagement and inclusivity. One high school principal said "Massive positive impacts already. It marked coursework that would typically take 8-13 hours in 30 minutes (and gave feedback to students). " Predominant uses include automating marking, providing feedback, and supporting students with special needs and English as an additional language. The goal for more teachers is to free up more time for high-impact instruction. Respondents reported five broad challenges that they had experienced in adopting GenAI: • User knowledge and skills - this was the major thing - people feeling the need for more help to use GenAI effectively • Performance of tools - including making stuff up • Workplace awareness and attitudes • Data protection adherence • Managing student use • Access However, the report also highlight common worries - mainly around AI's tendency to generate false or unreliable information. For History, English and language teachers especially, this could be problematic when AI is used for assessment and grading There are three case studies at the end of the report - a college using it for online formative assessment with real-time feedback; a high school using it for creating differentiated lesson resources; and a group of 57 schools using it in their learning management system. The Technology in Schools survey The UK government also did The Technology in Schools survey which gives them information about how schools in England specifically are set up for using technology and will help them make policy to level the playing field on use of tech in education which also brings up equity when using new tech like GenAI. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/technology-in-schools-survey-report-2022-to-2023 This is actually a lot of very technical stuff about computer infrastructure but the interesting table I saw was Figure 2.7, which asked teachers which sources they most valued when choosing which technology to use. And the list, in order of preference was: Other teachers Other schools Research bodies Leading practitioners (the edu-influencers?) Leadership In-house evaluations Social media Education sector publications/websites Network, IT or Business Managers Their Academy Strust My take is that the thing that really matters is what other teachers think - but they don't find out from social media, magazines or websites And only 1 in 5 schools have an evaluation plan for monitoring effectiveness of technology. Australian uni students are warming to ChatGPT. But they want more clarity on how to use it https://theconversation.com/australian-uni-students-are-warming-to-chatgpt-but-they-want-more-clarity-on-how-to-use-it-218429 And in Australia, two researchers - Jemma Skeat from Deakin Uni and Natasha Ziebell from Melbourne Uni published some feedback from surveys of university students and academics, and found in the period June-November this year, 82% of students were using generative AI, with 25% using it in the context of university learning, and 28% using it for assessments. One third of first semester student agreed generative AI would help them learn, but by the time they got to second semester, that had jumped to two thirds There's a real divide that shows up between students and academics. In the first semester 2023, 63% of students said they understood its limitations - like hallucinations and 88% by semester two. But in academics, it was just 14% in semester one, and barely more - 16% - in semester two 22% of students consider using genAI in assessment as cheating now, compared to 72% in the first semester of this year!! But both academics and students wanted clarify on the rules - this is a theme I've seen across lots of research, and heard from students The Semester one report is published here: https://education.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/4677040/Generative-AI-research-report-Ziebell-Skeat.pdf Published 20 minutes before we recorded the podcast, so more to come in a future episode: The AI framework for Australian schools was released this morning. https://www.education.gov.au/schooling/announcements/australian-framework-generative-artificial-intelligence-ai-schools The Framework supports all people connected with school education including school leaders, teachers, support staff, service providers, parents, guardians, students and policy makers. The Framework is based on 6 guiding principles: Teaching and Learning Human and Social Wellbeing Transparency Fairness Accountability Privacy, Security and Safety The Framework will be implemented from Term 1 2024. Trials consistent with these 6 guiding principles are already underway across jurisdictions. A key concern for Education Ministers is ensuring the protection of student privacy. As part of implementing the Framework, Ministers have committed $1 million for Education Services Australia to update existing privacy and security principles to ensure students and others using generative AI technology in schools have their privacy and data protected. The Framework was developed by the National AI in Schools Taskforce, with representatives from the Commonwealth, all jurisdictions, school sectors, and all national education agencies - Educational Services Australia (ESA), Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), and Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO).

Another thinks he is no worldling, because he hath some thoughts of heaven and is loth to be damned when he can keep the world no longer, and prays often, and perhaps fasts with the Pharisee twice a week, and gives alms often, and pays tithes, and wrongs no man.-25 But the Pharisees were covetous for all these, Luke 16-14. The question is not whether you think of heaven, and do something for it-- But whether it be heaven or earth which you seek first, and make the end of all things else, which all are referred to-- Every worldling knows that he must die, and therefore he would have heaven at last for a reserve, rather than hell.

KEVIN ESTRELLE - Pyramids on Mars - Pyramids on Mars is music that really sounds like it's from Mars!! Every once in a while there comes along a band that is so different or unique, you would think they were dropped on Earth from another planet. Pyramids on Mars is one of those bands. What first catches you, is that they are an instrumental band. A combination of elements such as hard rock, industrial, metal and psychedelic rock. And then... the lead guitar comes soaring in. Well crafted, beautiful, melodic phrases so catchy and memorable they will be stuck in your head the rest of the day. The guitar has become the "vocals" of the music. It is the solo project of guitarist Kevin Estrella. He wanted to do something musically different that would stand out from the crowd. "Pyramids on Mars is the embodiment of who I am, really. My musical influences, my philosophies on life, the universe and our place in it." Kevin went on to say, "I have always been attracted to space, and a lot of my sound is influenced from my childhood growing up in the '70's. Some of my favorite TV shows back then were Star Trek and Space: 1999. Plus I am a huge Rush and Pink Floyd fan! Thus I use a lot of analog synthesizers like the Minimoog and Oberheim Polyphonic. Predominant of the '70's era and used exclusively by those bands. They are just so warm and mysterious sounding, they resonate with me." - http://www.pyramidsonmars.com
Strap in as we venture into the dynamic and divisive world of the Kennedy dynasty, the Pharma industry, and a Twitter showdown that shook the Internet. Last week, we stepped into a sci-fi universe as we resurrected John F. Kennedy through the power of AI. Now, the drama deepens with the flesh-and-blood Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. His recent Joe Rogan appearance sent shockwaves through the community, and today, we're going to unpack it all. The Adams archive. Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. This last week has been a wild ride. If you didn't listen to our last episode, it kind of ties into this a little bit. Uh, and basically I interviewed John F. Kennedy using several AI tools that I put together about his assassination, about his alleged affair with Marilyn Monroe and several, several other topics, but we had a great discussion. Now, the very following day after I posted that podcast, Joe Rogan interviewed Robert F. Kennedy, the nephew of John F. Kennedy, and the son of Robert F. Kennedy Sr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is under the Democratic ticket for the 2024 presidential campaign, and he went on Joe Rogan for three straight hours, spitting nothing but facts about the pharmaceutical industry, about big pharma, about vaccines, about the assassination of his father, um, about so many different topics, wifi, radiation, uh, like so many different things. And we're gonna touch on all of it. All right, so I have a few timestamps here. We're gonna walk through each of those and we're also gonna discuss a few other things, including what led to an explosive breakout of Heavyweight Titans going after each other on Twitter, between Elon Musk and Joe Rogan and Dr. Hoz, or however the hell you pronounce this little, uh, man's name. And even Mark Cuban jumped in on Twitter, so we'll discuss how we got to that point. All right. I believe it's Peter Hoz, Dr. Peter Hoz, H O E T Z. Apparently I'm not very good at pronouncing names. Peter Hoz, um, is a vaccine expert who's been on Joe Rogan before, and you might recall that name if you listened to it during the pandemic. Um, he was a bit of an alarmist, and you know, Joe Rogan kind of broke it down, you know, broke down some of his arguments in the original conversation that he had, but it came back around full circle because Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Uh, had mentioned something about debating this Dr. Hoz, and we'll talk about all of that in a minute, but it turned out into this huge, huge explosion of of conversation on Twitter. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Just destroys the pharma industry, destroys the vaccination, uh, fan boys, and breaks it all down. Talks about autism, talks about the mercury poisoning, leading into aluminum poisoning. Then he goes into, um, the glyphosate on your food, leading to like all of these things that, that come together. So, again, like I said, it's gonna be a good conversation. We're gonna listen into a few of these clips, we'll discuss some of it. And last but not least, he even mentions the fact of what everybody has made fun of. Alex Jones for so long, saying the frogs are gay. Or however his voice is. That was my best, Alex Jones. All right. So, and we will even look at Alex Jones's response. All right? So all of that and more. But first, I need you to hit that subscribe button. Leave a five star review. All right? Not all of us are Joe Rogans of this world, and every single one of you that is here listening, I truly appreciate you listening from the bottom of my heart. You are just as much a part of this podcast as I am. So if you are listening and you are not yet a subscriber, hit that subscribe button. It means the world to me. It honestly does. I love doing this for you guys, and I appreciate all the conversations I have with you. If you're already subscribed, I need you to leave a five star review. It takes 10 seconds of your time. Just write something quick. Tell me what you love about the show. Tell me your favorite episode. Tell me your favorite flavor of ice cream. I don't care. Just leave a five star review. I would appreciate it if you think it's a five star podcast. So thank you so much. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. And without further ado, let's jump into it. The Adams archive. All right, robert F. Kennedy Jr. Went on to Joe Rogan just a few days ago, and it has caused an uproar on Twitter, on, uh, you know, all of the craziness that is going around the country right now. Now, some mainstream media companies won't even discuss this, like I was just looking at the Hill, and they won't even have this on their front page, which is again, we already talked about the hill going to the dark side. So we already knew that, but many people are just not even, on mainstream media not even bringing this up. Joe Rogan brings on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And he starts the discussion by kind of talking about how he thought he was a crazy anti-vax conspiracy theorist. So let's see him kind of just bring up his point about what he thought until Robert f Kennedy's book came out called The Real Anthony Fauci, which broke down Fauci s career of essentially killing. Americans per profit from the a Z t scandal all the way till now with the Covid vaccine. So let's watch him break this down for us. It's very frustrating for me when with letting you say things to, and they have problems with some of the positions that a lot of people have problems with. I was one of those people. So when I had heard of you in the past, before I had read your book and before I'd met you, I had no information on you. But there was this narrative, and this narrative was you were anti-vax and you were, you believed in pseudoscience and you were kind of loony. I didn't look into it at all. I just took it at face value, cuz that's what everybody had said. And in my mind, vaccines have been one of the most important medical advancements in human history. Save countless lives, protected children, and I, I thought very strongly that they were important. I didn't have any information on that either. This is also just a narrative I've adopted from cursory reading of news articles and, you know, not really getting into the subject at all. Then the pandemic happens. And I had quite a few very reasonable liberal people, rational people, people that I, I, I trusted their mind, recommend the real Anthony Fauci your book. And I'm like, Robert Kennedy wrote a book about the, about Anthony Fauci. Like what is this gonna be about? Like this is my initial reaction. You've got this what I perceive to be a kind of fringy thinking, you know, almost conspiracy theorist type person that's not based in fact what their argument was. And he had written a book on Anthony Fauci, and this was right around the time where I was, you know, I was very concerned with the way things were going, that people were just blindly trusting that there was only one way out of this that was, that was kind of bothering me, particularly when I had known that so many people had gotten the virus had been fine. So I'm like, well, what is, what's the reality of this? So then I read the book. And I've talked about it multiple times on the podcast, but if what you were saying in that book was not true, I do not understand how you are not being sued. You, you, you would instantly, immediately be sued. The book was very successful. It sold a lot of copies, but it was mysteriously absent from certain, certain bestseller lists. People were not promoting that book at all. But through word of mouth and through the time that we live in, through this time where there was so much uncertainty and people were very confused and also suspicious, there were suspicious that they're being told a very, a narrative. And they were starting to remember that, hey, this has happened in the past. These kind of narratives about medications, these, they have happened in the past, they just never happened. Where this is like the whole country is being convinced that this is the way to do it. So I read your book and. By the end of the book. It was so, it was so disturbing that sometimes I had to put it away and just read fiction for a few days. I was like, I don't want this in my head right now. You know? Cause a lot, I listen on audio and a lot of times I'm listening in the sauna, so I'm listening while I'm already getting tortured. So it's, it's 185 degrees and I'm listening to this, this book that if it's telling the truth just about the AIDS crisis. So what I wanted you to listen to that for is that Joe did not start off this conversation by saying, I agree with everything that you say. He said, I was so skeptical of you that it took several of my liberal friends to come to me and say, Hey, you need to read this book. And even when he was given it or he bought it, he still was skeptical. And then he started to listen and then he started to figure out and unravel some of the narratives that many of us have found to be true, which he just mentioned, which is that this is C O V I D was not the first time the pharmaceutical industry did this. Going back to the AIDS scandal, the AIDS epidemic. Fauci was behind it all. He pedaled A Z T A pharmaceutical medication, which killed people faster than AIDS did, which killed people faster than cancer. Did. So much so with cancer that they pulled it from the shelves cuz it was killing people within two weeks and then repurposed it to be used for aids, killing massive amounts of other people causing protests around the entire country. So, no, this is not the first time that it happened and people started to realize that, especially when the same name Fauci came up under several of these situations. So he points that out. Now where the conversation starts to spiral from from here is they go on to discuss vaccines for the next. S hour, entire hour of this. He just comes with every study, um, every situation, every litigation that he's, he's actually gone through. So Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Started as an environmentalist in, in law and started litigating against, companies like Monsanto who were pouring massive, massive amounts of, chemicals into the water supplies. And so he started litigating all of these large companies and, and winning. Then he starts to have people come up to him and, and, and if you've listened to this podcast, and I hope that you have, and if you haven't, you should who start talking to him about vaccines. And they say, I, if you think that this is a problem, you should really look into this, because this has affected my life in a huge way. And they start to look in into the vaccines, and what he starts to discuss is the amount of mercury that was contained, which is methyl mercury, which he distincts, says a distinction between, uh, a different type of mercury. Which he, you know, was kind of how they write off the mercury situation when it comes to vaccines. But he starts to lay out and, and pin this spiderweb of thread showing that it can all be traced back to the vaccines. So that was how it started off. Then he starts to get into some other topics. Now, I'm not gonna go into all these vaccine information studies with you. I'm, I know a lot about it, but I'm not nearly as educated. So go listen to them. It's a tremendous conversation, but I do wanna get into some, some of these other points. Now, one thing that I would like to point out about this situation in general is nobody ever has had a platform the way that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Was just given one by Joe Rogan to discuss something that was so, so conspiratorial, so against the grain. Now, I love this, after doing the, the John F. Kennedy podcast last time, now, now I'm starting to see the, the lineage, uh, coming down from John F. Kennedy To Robert F. Kennedy. To Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Like I, I am, fanboying at this point at, at this, this family because of the way that they've stood up to so many institutions, right? Jonathan Kennedy with the cia, um, Robert F. Kennedy, following in his shoes. Obviously, both of them eventually being assassinated, which is horrific. But also just the, you know, there's, there's something about somebody who understands the consequences. Of freedom of speech and doing the right thing and doing it anyways. Not bowing down, not self-censoring, not not cutting the conversation off when they know that people are gonna maybe start to question their, uh, validity or just if you have a belief and you believe that somebody or something, or some entity is doing something wrong, regardless of the outcome, doing the right thing, especially if you're somebody who, who has abilities, who will allow them to speak to that power and cause a movement around it. Now, today, thankfully, we have social media and we can have so many people out there that are doing this on Instagram, on, on TikTok, on Twitter, on uh, YouTube, on rumble, on, on podcasts, all of these, you know, tremendous people that are out there. Um, but the Kennedy family has been doing this for a very, very long time. On the largest of platforms in, in the, the most powerful positions in the world. So again, I just love seeing him on this podcast and being given this, this platform by Joe to just talk Joe Rogan the most that he talks the entirety of this podcast was what you just listened to almost the rest of it. He's just sitting and listening to Robert F. Kennedy Spout fact after fact, after fact about all of these different topics that we're gonna touch on. So, Again, like I said, I just, I, I love the way that this went down. It's incredible today that we have these platforms, that we have such a large platform for freedom of speech when at the same exact time we are being, you know, actively silenced and, and our, our mainstream media has positioned itself in a way where absolutely nobody believes what they say. But to have an alternative, to have an alternative like Joe Rogan, who, who CNN and Fox News combined perish compared to the amount of, of viewership that Joe Rogan gets, which is just incredible in a country like ours where freedom of speech is the number one amendment, the very first thing that they wrote, right? The freedom of speech. And so to have a, a continuation of a platform in a world that was so far gone from that, that would just propaganda arm for the governments with every mainstream media company that was out there. All of them, every single one of them. So to have Joe Rogan. Allow Robert F. Kennedy to speak about the most controversial topics in our society today. Until you get into the real deep conspiracies that Alex Jones type people start to touch on. Um, you know, the, uh, and, and even if, I bet you, if you let Robert F. Kennedy talk for long enough, he would be bringing up the Build Bird group, the, the World Economic Forum, the, you know, then you can take it another step further. And we've gone into those conversations before about the, the, you know, it can get dark and deep, but as far as mainstream narratives that he, who should not be named the number one on the list in today's society's vaccines, that is the Voldemort of topics. You may not say anything negative about vaccines. It's literally written in the bylaws of YouTube. I was reading it the other day. It says, if you say anything about vaccines not being helpful, anything about, uh, vaccines causing autism, anything about, like this is in the regulations of YouTube, that your, your channel will get. Strikes or will get completely pulled off of their platform if you mention anything negative about vaccines. So in a time where that is happening, for the very single largest person in entertainment to just let him talk for three straight hours was just incredible. All right. So let's touch on one of the first topics here that I really enjoyed listening to that kind of opened my eyes a bit. Now, this is something that I've heard before, but I haven't heard it spoken about on a large enough platform to bring it validity. And that's, that's something that you see throughout this entirety of this conversation is, is there's several of these things that you've probably heard before, right? We're gonna talk about glyphosate, we're gonna talk about, uh, you know, the Spanish flu. We're gonna talk about assassinations. We're gonna talk about radiation coming from wifi. Um, You've probably heard a lot of those things before, but to hear it on such a platform that, that brings validity to it, to the mainstream, not just, you know, the Reddit threads you're on, not just, you know, listening to Alex Jones or, uh, you know, Sam Tripoli talk about these things and the Tim Foyle hat pod, like the, the, the validity that it brings by him discussing this and the fact that he's running for president simultaneously is amazing. So let's, let's listen to this very first clip here, and this is gonna be on wifi radiation. All right? And this timestamp starts at one hour and 10 minutes. What we can say is most of it started in 1989 and there are only a certain, there's a finite number of culprits that you can point to and say, this tox, it has to come from a toxic exposure cuz genes don't cause epidemics. You, they can provide a vulnerability, but you need a toxic exposure. What is it? Is it, you know, it could be glyphosate, it could be neo oid pesticides, it could be pfoa, which are the flame returns that became ubiquitous, you know, around that same timeline. It could be cell phones, you know, it could be, uh, you know, on wifi, uh, um, uh, radiation. So there's a certain That's unlikely. What? Isn't that very unlikely though? It could be ultrasound. Yeah, yeah, of course. Well, I, you know, I think the, the wifi radi, uh, radiation is a lot worse than people think it is. But, you know, I don't think it's, how so? Well, wifi radiation. Is, uh, does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer, wifi, radiation causes cancer. Yeah, from your cell phone. I mean, there's cell phone tumor tumors, you know that, I mean, I'm representing hundreds of people who have cell phone tumors behind the ear. It's always on the ear that you favor with your cell phone. Oh. Um, and you know, we have the science, so if anybody lets us in front of a jury, they, it will be over. You know, we, so what is the, what is the number? Cause a lot of people use cell phones. There's a lot of people with it. Their glioblastomas. That's the kind of cancers that they get, but cancer's not the worst thing. They also, you know, it opens up wifi ra radiation opens up your blood-brain barrier. And so all these toxics that are in your body can now go into your brain. How does wifi radiation open up your blood-brain barrier? Yeah. Now you're gone beyond my, uh, my okay. Expertise. I, I, but what? There are, there are. I'm gonna use a number here and you're gonna think it's hyperbole, but, but it's not. There are tens of thousands of studies that show the horrendous danger of wifi radiation, and So this is wifi, like that's in this room? Yeah. Cause we have wifi, wifi routers. You should not be asleep and you should not let your kids. Carry their cell phones on their breasts, particularly a woman because they're associated with braco, you know, they shouldn't be holding in the breast pocket. If you have to call, put 'em in your, you know, butt pocket. You should not be, uh, having 'em near, near your head when you're sleeping. You know, you need to get away and you should never put one next to your head. You, he said, oh, I, like, I will never put this next to my head. I put, so how many times have you heard somebody say that you shouldn't ha you shouldn't have your phone in your pocket? Like the, the amount of sperm count with males when you put your phone in your pocket consistently has dropped tremendously. Right. And then he talks about the blastomas that are happening within the, the, the ear on the side that you hold your cell phone to. So there, there's actual, some scientific studies that we can point to. And I pulled one up here for us, just so we're not. Reiterating exactly what he said here. Um, and this comes from science direct.com and it's a study done, done by Martin Paul, um, with the name. Wifi is an important threat to human health. So here's the abstract, and it says that repeated wifi studies show that wifi causes oxidative stress, sperm testicular cancer, neuropsychiatric effects, including EEG changes, ptosis cellular, D n a, damage and dorin changes, and calcium overload. Each of these effects are also caused by exposures to other microwave frequencies, EMFs, with each such effect being documented in from 10 to 16 reviews. Therefore, each of these seven EMF effects are established effects of wifi and other microwave frequency EMFs. Each of these seven is also produced by downstream effects in the main action of such EMFs voltage gated calcium channels. And so what this also goes on to say, Is, and I'll give you the kind of, uh, the highlights of it. It says that seven effects have been repeatedly reported following wifi and other e MF exposures, established wifi effects including EP, ptosis, oxidate stress, and testis slash sperm. Defuncts. Neuropsych DNA impacts hormone changes. Wifi is thought to act via voltage gated calcium channel activation. One claim of no wifi effects was found to be deeply flawed. Um, so just there is scientific studies to back up all of this. And, and Jamie, uh, the, uh, guy that helps Joe Rogan on his podcast, uh, do the technical aspects of it, uh, pulls up one of these such studies and discusses it here. But let's, let's finish out this segment. Put it on a, i, you know, I put it on speakerphone or use earphones, but, you know, I won the case in front of, on this issue of suing FCC and FDA about it. And, um, and, you know, and the court sided with me, so now they're gonna have to go back to the drawing board and do it. But the Russians, you get, Russians know more about wifi radiation than anybody. They, they developed as a weapon and a lot of the really good signs came out of Russia. And, uh, you know, the Russians won't let kids use cell phones. That was kind of a small touch that I haven't heard the Russians developed wifi radiation as a weapon. Now that was one statement that I didn't look into. Let's see if we can find something about that. Interesting, cuz just that one little statement, uh, is, is, uh, Quite, quite an interesting statement there. Let's see if I can find something on that. But in the meantime, I'll let you continue listening. Phones in kindergarten or you know, in, in grade school, a lot of the schools in Russia don't let cell phones in there cuz of the danger and the levels of radiation that they allow from cell phones is like one, 100th of what? And I don't know exactly what it is, you know, so that's the number people shouldn't hold me to. But it's, it's, it is a tiny fraction of what we allow in this country. So the, the wifi radiation is obviously different than cell phone radiation. So you're talking about people that are just in a room with wifi are being exposed to something that's dangerous. Yeah, people, and, you know, people have different sensitivities to it. Some people are extremely sensitive. They become completely debilitated from it. And, um, really. All right, so here's something that I just found on that. It says, 68 years of Russian microwave radiation attacks on Americans with impunity. And this comes from the Washington Times, and it says, some 200 American diplomats, inte, or intelligence and military officers have been harmed, severely disabled, and perhaps even killed by apparent microwave radiation attacks over recent years and decades, probably using weapons the Russians bragged years ago they were developing. Americans have been targeted and harmed by these attacks in Moscow, pecking Shanghai, Havana, Vienna, some American cities, and now even outside of the White House. All this raises a major concern. Why do US officials who are investigating this matter act like they're unaware of the nature and source of these mysterious attacks this month, secretary of State, and this comes from an article in 2020. Anthony Blinken trying to reassure his implements about the microwave aggression stated in a memo that the government does not know what is happening or how to stop it. Most of the reporting on the subject has portrayed the apparent attacks, inaccurately or completely, uh, or incompletely as a new phenomenon and of certain. Or uncertain origin. For example, the other day, a Pentagon correspondent re uh, reported that these attacks began in Cuba five years ago. Has the media forgotten its own reporting from just a few years ago? This says, in fact, it has been widely and accurately reported. The attacks began in Moscow 68 years earlier in 1953. Furthermore, the Russians have privately admitted this justifying it because they were simply jamming listening devices on the US embassy's roof as the New York Times reported some 45 years ago. As correspondent Bernard Gman wrote on a February 26th, 1976. After 15 years of denial, the Russians have privately admitted to using microwaves to counter the array of listening devices on the US Embassy's roof. They have claimed some people think they use microwaves to at activate their own surveillance devices hidden in the embassy. Um, he went on to write that the Russians action had irritated. Administration officials and produced diplomatic protests because of possible damage to the health of American personnel from long periods of exposure to low level radiation. According to administration and congressional sources, the Russians have been beaming the microwave emissions into the American Embassy for 15 years. At first, the waves came from a nearby building, but after the structure was torn down, the waves came from across Chaikovsky Street, the large Boulevard, the embassy faces. But in recent years, reporting by the newspaper of record headaches ignored its earlier groundbreaking revelations. The July 16th, 2021 issue of the New Yorkers, a well-researched story by Adam tus, made it clear that many American officials suspect that Russian operators and technology are responsible for Havana Syndrome, but quoted, I've heard of that before. I think we've even talked about the BEF that before the Havana Syndrome, but quoted a senior Biden administration official as saying, we have not yet determined intent or motive. We do not have a view on that yet. Interesting. Um, it says over the years, uh, diplomats in Russia repeatedly protested the possible damage in health of American personnel from long periods of exposure. Uh, so interesting. Even just that small little statement, right? They've been using this as a weapon, uh, to see the validity in that and just this conversation here is pretty wild. Interesting. So wanna do more research into that? Look into Havana Syndrome. Oh, yeah, we have a woman from wifi. Yeah, we have a woman who, uh, who was, uh, um, who developed an, an allergy to wifi. She was in the, uh, Israeli defense forces, and she was in their cyber warfare unit. Oh, she was in a room with it all the time, and suddenly she developed a art. And she's a brilliant lawyer. Um, and she's one of the leaders of, you know, uh, in this movement to get, to make sure that they don't put wifi antennas on elementary schools, which they're doing now. There's no control over where p people put these antennas. And if you think the radiation poisoning from wifi is bad, just wait till you start to research. The next Voldemort of, of conversations within our society and actually the Department of Homeland Security, which labeled anybody who discusses this topic as a potential domestic terrorist, and that is 5g. You heard me right? The Department of Homeland Security said, if you ha say anything negative against the health effects of 5g, you can be labeled as a domestic terrorist. So if you think WiFi's bad, literally outside of the street homes and, and along the highway that you drive every single day, you will see a 5G tower. Now, I don't know about you, but I know since 5G towers started popping up every quarter mile that I drive my car, my phone has not gotten any faster. That has done nothing for me. Right. And, and I also ha have heard that the people who go up and work on the 5G towers actually have to put on an entire lead suit because of the amount of radiation being leaked out of those towers. So if you think wifi poisoning is bad, just wait until we see the effects of 5g. Now, I, again, I have not done a deep dive into 5g, so I'm not saying with, uh, uh, an amazing amount of research that this is to be true. But if, if they have to stand in front of those 5G towers with lad suits on to not poison the people who are working on them while sitting in front of them, what do you think that's doing to you on a daily basis all of the time? Right. And this kind of like goes back to the conversation of like, if you went back a hundred years ago, every piece of technology that we have today from the lights, the camera that you're viewing this on, or the, the frequency of wavelengths that you're listening to me from, from the vibrations that are going across the air in this magical, weird little way. All of that was magic. It was, it was nothing that was founded upon some scientific evidence that we would've known that there is a way for us to, I don't know, uh, fricking pull up your phone and FaceTime with somebody and cross the entirety of the, the world so that they can see your face at the exact same second as you move it at the exact same time, across the entirety of the world. Right? It was all magic. This, the, the, the, the way that we went from zero to one over the last a hundred years. And I think this gives some sort of validity to the idea of, uh, you know, alien technology and, and, and UFOs crashing and, and us reverse engineering some of the technology that we found within those, or getting Dr you know, little care package type technology drops from whatever entities have visited our planet. I, I do not see how one person on this planet. It took us from every, every invention prior to it being physical, there was no radio frequencies, there was no video, there was no internet, there was no, all of these things that, that we just, we just take for granted that we cannot see how they work with our eyes. This is the very first time in history that we've had technology like that, and it's just in the last a hundred years. And, and if you break down society and, and, and history into a, a, a 24 hour clock and, and you look at the amount of time that we've had this type of technology over the last a hundred years, right? The 300,000 years that we've been from, you know, our, our wars with, uh, Neanderthals now that, that we are the homo sapiens and, and the 300,000 years from the time we invented fire to when we invented 5g fricking cell phone tower networks is, is a pretty crazy jump. And almost all of that happened in the last a hundred years. So the idea that we actually understand the outcomes of our actions or the outcomes of these technologies or the effects on, on our bodies or our brains, or our mental health or our physical health. When we've only had these things for a hundred years, 50 years, in some cases, 30 years or, or five years, like 5g, three years even, like not, not that long of a time period. We don't know what's happening with these. Just like we found out about asbestos, just like we found out about pfoa, just like we found out about seed oils, we are finding out all of these tangible things are literally poisoning you and your children. What about the non-tangible things? What about the things that you cannot see with your eye? What about all of those frequencies that are literally beaming between your eardrums from the microwave that you use? To cook your food to the, the cell phone that you're holding in your hand to the radio that you take, you know, took for granted for so long. Like those are vibrational frequencies and, and there's an antenna on your car, on your phone and your computer in, in this camera so that it can pick up these frequencies. We don't know if we have that type of antenna in our brain where we're, or, or even just what the effects are when those frequencies are passing through our head as they're getting to our devices or our spouse's devices or across the entirety of the world. Like how many people are having a discussion right now, and maybe I'm just ignorant to how this stuff works, but where, where those frequencies are passing through my house, passing through my skull right now as I'm talking to you. And, and, and what effect does that have on your brain? What effect does that have on your mental health? What effect does it have on your body? What effect does it have on your DNA that you pass to your children? We don't know. So when he brings up wifi, that unloads a whole host of other issues that we now have to potentially address and good, because all of these things that we've found out about the nutrition that we've had shoved on our, our throats, the, the, you know, the, um, Nutrition, the, the, the food industry, big, big, you know, conglomerates like Nestle and, and all of these companies that are out there pedaling, uh, lucky Charms to your children with, you know, red Dye 40 in it, that causes your children to have ADHD like symptoms. So you feed them that to make them be happy because they want it, and then they act crazy and, and because they're acting crazy now, you get them put on Ritalin or Adderall, it's so that they can focus in school, even though you gave them cereal for breakfast before they went to school to give them Adderall so that they can focus, which causes them to have anxiety. So you give them, you know, Lexapro and, and, and so now they have Lexapro issues. So, you know, like it's just this vicious cycle of profitability for these corporations. And just to have somebody on this type of platform question, even just wifi, who, and Joe challenged him initially on that. He go, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What is the likelihood? He said that it's wifi. No way WiFi's hurting us. It's just this magical frequency that helps me be able to learn the recipes and watch porn. Like, it's like it can't be bad for you, but it is, and these are questions that we have to start addressing as a society is like, to what extent is, is the, uh, is the positive outcomes of these devices or of these, you know, the, the amount of pleasure you get from eating a, a piece of sour patch kids, but the, the effects that it has on your body and your mind for the next however many days or weeks or hours or minutes, right. To what, to what extent are you willing to accept that trade off because it's all a trade off. Now, if you're willing to accept the idea that you have a cell phone and now you can have access to unlimited knowledge, but, but you also understand that when you hold that thing up to your ear, it could give you cancer or, but when you put it in your pocket, it could lower your sperm count. Or also cause cancer, or when women put it in their shirt, in their breast pocket, it can cause breast cancer. Like all of these things have shown to be true. So to, to what extent are you willing to make that sacrifice? To what extent is it worth it for you? For me, I've learned eating a ton of candy is not worth it for me. I feel like shit. But then you wanna start to address some of the technology issues, right? So, so, so, but we're starting to get the information and you're now gonna have the opportunity to look at these things objectively and go, is this worth affecting my body? Is this worth affecting my mind? Is this worth upping the percentage likelihood that I, that I have cancer in my ear now that I'm on my phone six hours a day talking to clients, whatever that is. Right? So there's one topic that he touches on. Now the next topic that he touches on that I found to be interesting is how many people talked about the Spanish flu, right? Throughout Covid there was this narrative of like, oh, well everybody used to use masks back in the Spanish flu days in 1918. So everybody wanted to use Spanish flu as a way of, you know, pointing to another pandemic in, in human history and going, but wait, this, you know, we, we did things right back then we can do it right now. And to say that these types of things has ha have happened before. So, Robert Def Kennedy Jr. Mentioned something that I haven't heard before when it comes to Spanish flu, and here is that. Just that. And they, you know, there's, there's good evidence that the Spanish flu, there's, there's, you know, not, not a definitive but very, very strong evidence. Uh, the Spanish flu was vaccine induced flu. The, the, the deaths were, uh, vaccine induced. But the, the death, originally they said it was a flu, but when they've gone back and actually they have all the, the samples from thousands of people, they died from bacteriological, uh, pneumonia. So they died as a consequence of something that you could cure today with they antibiotic, with ampicillin. Okay. So when we say, but they still, so what was their, so they, you're saying they had a compromised immune system already, but why? Well, but, but a lot of the, you know, bacteriological illnesses can kill you. Yeah. It's that a lot of the viral illnesses, you know, if you're super healthy, it's pretty hard for them to kill you. I mean, I, and I'm just saying this not on any individual basis, but on a population basis, if you look at populations that are well-nourished, you don't see, uh, infectious disease mortalities anymore. So, so, and that's across, you know, I don't think anybody would argue with that. So what are you, what are you saying that the Spanish flu was, and like, what is the, the documentation? Well, the, you know, I, you said that Fauci has publicly admitted that it, it's not a flu. Fauci wrote an article in 2008 and uh, that I'm pretty sure it was 2008. In which he acknowledged that it was not the flu that was killing those people. It was a bacteriological infection. And a bacteriological infection. These days you could a hundred percent cure all of it with an antibiotic. But so, but something was making them ill and to make them vulnerable to back to your infection. That's unclear. And you know, I read an article recently and, and you can look up these articles pretty easily, but there, the, the article that I read made a very strong case that the illness came from testing a new vaccine in Kansas at a military base in Kansas. And I, again, I'm a little hazy on the details, but this is important to cover. Right. So let's see if we can find this predominant role of bacteria, pneumonia as cause of death in pandemic influenza implications. Yeah. Of, uh, pandemic influenza preparedness. So what this is saying is that bacterial pneumonia was the cause of death, but these people, obviously, w w they were saying that they had, they were sick before this correctly. Correct. Is that true? You know what, I, I, you know, I shouldn't talk about this, Joe. Okay. See, this is, let's, I don't remember enough about it. Let's, let's read what he says. The results post-mortem samples were examined from people who died of influenza during the 1918 to 1990. 1919 rather uniformly exhibited severe changes indicative of bacteria, bacterial pneumonia, er logic, and histo histopathologic results from published autopsy series clearly and consistently implicated secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory tract bacteria in most influenza fat fatalities. Yeah. And, and some people have suggested that came from getting people to wear masks. Oh Jesus. So I, but I, you know, I don't know. How would that be, that the mass became the bacteria I I media for bacteria. Conclusions. The majority of deaths from the 19 18 19 19 influenza pandemic likely resulted directly from secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory tract bacteria. Less substantial data from the subsequent 1957 and 19 60 68 pandemic are consistent with these findings. If severe pandemic influenza is largely a problem of bacterial viral bacterial co pathogenesis. Pandemic planning needs to go beyond addressing the viral cause alone example, influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs. That's hilarious. Yeah. Prevention, diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment of secondary bacterial pneumonia, as well as stockpiling of antibiotics and bacterial vaccines should be high priorities for pandemic planning. Yeah, he didn't remember that. Yeah. So it looks like this was a hss, uh, public access study, um, that was called Predominant role of bacterial pneumonia as a cause of death in Pandemic Influenza, implications of Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, which was co-authored by Fauci. Um, so that's the name of the article if you wanna look it up. Uh, I won't bore you with all of it, but it's pretty, it looks about 12, 14 pages or so, but there, there's the name of of it, if you want to dig into the research of that. All right, so I found that to be interesting. How many people cited the Spanish flu, uh, when it came to Covid, and now to find out the validity of that maybe coming down to bacterial in infections or pneumonia, uh, potentially even being caused by masks.

All right, so my favorite subject discussed during the entirety of the Joe Rogan podcast with Robert F. Kennedy was having to do with frogs. Now we all know the Alex Jones meme, where he talks about the waters turning the frogs gay or however his voice is. Um, but I have the clips here and we will look at that. Uh, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Sites a study that was done with 40 frogs where there was a compound called uh atrazine. An atrazine is a high percentage of it is in the water supplies that we find ourselves drinking. If you don't have a water filter, you should get one, a good one. You can get the same one that I got on. Uh, Amazon for like $120 or so, but it's probably one of the best purchases you'll ever make. Uh, you don't want that stuff in your water or anything else that's in there, including, you know, if you think some of these things they're talking about, about is, is crazy, you know, everybody's been talking about fluoride for long enough to, maybe you should second guess that too, but maybe it's a topic that we'll dive into later. Um, but there is a longstanding meme of Alex Jones talking about the water supply turning the frogs gay. You've heard that, I know you have, but Robert F. Kennedy gives some validity to that argument here on the Joe Rogan show. Um, so let's listen to him briefly touch on that. Then we will listen to Alex Jones's response to that, which I found to be quite interesting as well. Um, so here is Robert f kinda these quicks statement on that. And then we will jump over to Alex Jones's. Response. It's an endocrin disruptor. So, um, you know, similar to phthalates, phthalates are an endocrine disruptor. Probably the most disturbing endocrine disruptor, and this is something we should all be looking at, is atrazine. Yeah. Because atrazine, which is now ubiquitous, it's everywhere. But you can take atrazine and there, you know, there's, you, you, what is his name? Jamie. Jamie Young. Jamie. You can look up, you can look up this study. I think the guy, the scientist's name is Tyler, I think, and that might be his first or second name, but they took. Oh, it's loading. They don't want us to hear about the gay frogs do they? Uhoh. Oh, let's refresh this page here and see if we can get back to it. It sounds so crazy. You know, Alex Jones is talking about the, the water supplies turning the frogs gay. And, uh, for so long that it's just been one of the claims to fame for why Alex Jones is crazy is for talking about the water, making the frogs gay. And again, here we have validity to it. And they put it in a tank with 40 frogs for, yeah, three years. They put it below the exposure levels that EPA considers acceptable to humans. And 30 of those frogs, they were all male frogs and they were double Z, you know, male frogs. So they were super males and 30 of those frogs were chemically castrated. Four of them turned into females and produced fertile eggs. So they took male frogs, gave them atrazine, 10% of them turned into female and produced fertile eggs. And we're subjecting our children to exposure to that every day. What is atrazine? It's in the water. It's a, it's a pesticide. Here it is. Report toxic herbicide found in many Texans drinking water. That's it. That's from 2018, November 20th. Yeah. And why, you know, what does this dude is sexual development and children, nobody knows. Cause we, we know what it does to frogs. Yeah. But, um, you know, nobody knows what that does to, you know, what it's doing. Those kind of persistent exposures would do to our children. Yeah. It's terrifying. So atrazine, um, microplastics, all those things are having an effect, a similar effect on, and Joe just must not have caught on to the gay frogs. Alex Jones correlation at this point. Yeah, we had, uh, Dr. Shanna Swan who wrote that book, uh, countdown, that's all about this cause he segues out of it. But let's go ahead and listen to Alex Jones's response to the idea that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Agrees with him to some exer certain extent, right? That, not that the frogs are gay, but that the frogs were chemically castrated by the water supply and even turned into females. And here is his response, Lee recognized as the Alex Jones Gay Frogs rant. Do you understand that? Turn the freaking frogs game crap. Corporate media has attacked me thousands of times for it. Literally, there have been dozens of times that late night comics have made it. Their central joke. I don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the frigging frogs gay. Do you understand that Serious crap? Wow. If he is that upset about a governed conspiracy that is not happening, just imagine how upset he's gonna be when he finds out about one that actually is like this explanation as to why men are gay. The reason there's so many gay people now is because it's a chemical warfare operation. Here's the inside of this juice box. And if you, and if they zoom in anymore, see that thin plastic? It's got it. So after you're done drinking your little juices, well you, I mean, you, you, you're ready to go out and have a baby. He's saying the chemicals are making people, gay folks. It's making the frogs gay. Two thirds of the frogs down in Houston are bisexual. Great show Alex. We sold a lot of super male vitality formula. Soon all of your listeners will be transformed and okay, I love it. My dad. Fun side note. Pinterest also took down their Infowars page, which is bad news. If you were planning an autumn wedding with a theme, gay frog chemtrails tap water is a gay bomb and that they are putting chemicals in the water that turn the frigging frogs guy, Matt Brain Fighters, is how the lesbian conspiracy has maintained its vice grip on our nation's chia seed supply. All right, that's how they reproduce. Alex Jones is a fake. Which by the way, people have a right to be. Remember that gay frog clip at the start? He did a follow up show explaining how chemicals were being placed in the water to feminize society and reduce the population, and then immediately segued to this, we sell five different brands of the very best water de uh, water filtration systems out there. They're amazing. They cut out 99.99% of the glyphosate, the herbicides, the pesticides, the fluoride. I mean, to an untrained eye, it sure seems like he was using the idea of a gay frog to sell his products, which incidentally is the same mistake the WB network made on Infowars. One of his most famous statements was saying that tap water is turning the frogs gay and will turn you gay too. First off, gay people are awesome. I don't think that's a problem at all. That's the problem with a guy like Alex Jones because he got them to believe that the gay frogs were based on studies and facts. But it's not a laughing matter. Endocrine disruptors. Phalates and other chemicals in the water supply are gender bending, not just frogs, not just birds, not just monkeys, but humans. Every species on earth is becoming sterile and is also confusing. Its sexual preference. We know from studies over a decade ago that Mercury makes birds gay and people go, yay. Gay's cool, except now there won't be any more of those birds. They're going extinct. Many species of frog and toad are close to going extinct because the majority of the males, when they come in contact with atrazine and other chemicals are becoming attracted to other males and trying to fertilize other male's eggs that don't exist. Then when you pull back and you study books like Eco Science written by Obama's Science. Now as he's going through this, there's studies flashing over the screen here the entire time with the things in references to what he's discussing. Um, so I'll give you some of them when he is talking about the birds. It's a, a news digest, uh, article that says mercury poisoning makes male birds homosexual from 2010 as you go on. Except now there won't be any more of those birds. Um, the next article that starts to pull up is coming from the Scientific American, which says frog's mass extinction on the horizon. The deadly, uh, citrated fungus is blamed for the most, uh, for most of the 200 recent amphibian disappearances with more to come. The next article comes from, uh, The p n a s Scientific journal, um, which has Hermaphroditic de masculinized frogs after exposure to the herbicide atrazine at low ecological relevant doses goes on to discuss that. Um, following that, the next article is Atrazine Exposure Alters Frogs Sex. And that's coming from the Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy. So he, there's receipts here. He is not just saying crazy stuff as everybody wants to make it seem. There's validity that to everything that he's discussing here. So here you go. Then when you pull back and you study books like Eco Science written by Obama's Science, are he admits to plants, John gender bending chemicals in the water. So this isn't just an accident, this isn't just runoff that is taking place. This is being in the article that he references there we can get into too, but let's just move forward. Done by design as a program of depopulation, they have picked formulas for fuel and formulas for other products like plastics that create the leakage and the leaching of these chemicals into the environment. When I've talked to top chemist, uh, top developers and they say it's very easy and inexpensive to have safer fuels, safer plastics, and other products, the system made a decision back in the fifties and then the sixties when microwaves came out to buy design. Allow lining in the plastic containers where the food would then be cooked to leach massive amounts of phalates and other chemicals that again, on record in utero, if a woman is eating food that was cooked, heated on those plastics, not just in microwaves, but also in conventional ovens, that it would then lease those chemicals and in utero in the first trimester lower the level of testosterone, penis size, number of sperm, you name it, that her child, when he grows up, will be able to produce. This is all been done by design. Don't microwave their food in plastic containers. And the reason for this is pretty simple. The American Academy of Pediatrics warns families to avoid this practice because when plastic containers are heated up, They can release harmful chemicals into that food and kids are the biggest concern, of course. Why? Well, these leash chemicals may interfere with the child's hormones, override big tech sensors. All right, so there is a little bit of his response to that. Let's see if he has any more about this specific topic. Just one example. My father owns property with sterilized fish on it with just a few drops put into the water when they were developing as eggs, as embryos. This is everything, ladies and gentlemen. This is how the globalists have emasculated us. Our sperm counts are down more than 50% in every industrialized country, and as soon as other countries that weren't industrialized like Brazil, adopt the same chemicals, the same policies that are used in the Europe, in Japan, in the us, in Canada, in Australia, we're seeing similar numbers and not just sterilization, not just feminization. We're also seeing skyrocketing cancer cases. Kind of a jungle electric green I would call it. Uh, they're great shirts. These came in about a month ago before they went on sale. Say save the frogs. Everybody around the office wants one infowars.com and people have been loving them. People process whole soybeans and leave the, all right, so there's your Alex Jones. The frogs are gay segment coming from the validity brought to it by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Now, now, if there wasn't a presidential candidate, Andre Rogan validating what Alex Jones was discussing. You've seen recently at Joe Rogan has like kind of positioned himself a little bit away from Alex Jones since the Spotify deal. So the fact that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Just in a roundabout way, and it wasn't even addressed on the actual podcast itself, brought back the topic of the frogs being gay emasculated and, you know, but, but there's true validity to the things that he's talking about. There's a lot of validity in my vocabulary today. Um, but it's valid, right? There's a lot of valid things being discussed. So, uh, but, but it's crazy to see how, in a different setting, in a different format discussed in a different way by a different person. Joe Rogan's open to the idea that that's not so crazy in all of this. Scientific studies back exactly what Alex Jones is discussing here, just as if that, that one little sentence by, by R F K said that Russia used microwaves as, as a. A weapon against us. And you start to dive into Havana Syndrome and, and the things that have happened to over 200 politicians regarding Havana Syndrome in these certain, uh, offices and, and places that they went to where they were, uh, attacked with that microwave, uh, weaponry. It's crazy, right? So, so the same thing with Alex Jones is you almost have to take a, a three to four words that he says and like go do research on it and, and see that maybe there's some validity to it, and maybe he's off some of the time. But the amount of times that Alex Jones has been right compared to Ben, wrong in his main narratives that he's, he's ta discussing is, is pretty consistently on, uh, uh, uh, a more accurate, um, than false narrative. And, and things like, you know, we could get all the way into the Sandy Hook stuff about his, you know, $12 billion or whatever he got sued for, which is wild. Um, but anyway, so let, let's, let's go back to the discussion at hand here, which is that, uh, the water and atrazine. So, so a few things. Let's just discuss what you can do about what we've discussed so far when it comes to wifi poisoning and radiation poisoning. Coming from your cell phone, you should turn your phone on airplane mode every single night. It should not be by your bed, especially next to your head. Use speakerphone or headphones, just and turn off your wifi at night. If you're not using it, it shouldn't be on. You're emitting, vibrational, you know, frequencies throughout your household for no reason. If it's on at night, no reason at all. All right, so turn your wifi off at night. Turn your phone in the airplane mode. Some people have been discussing more recently not using Bluetooth headphones and using regular headphones. I've seen some discussions around that, I believe by, uh, might have been even Andrew Huberman, who discusses that there's not enough EMFs to justify not using them. I believe it. I forget who it was. I believe, I believe it was Andrew Huberman, but it might have been somebody else. Um, so maybe research that a little bit more on your own. But, but again, if it's not natural, I, if it wasn't around a hundred years ago, and, and it has to do with some sort of wizardry, sorcery that's been going on in the world over the last 30 to 40 years. Maybe you should second guess using it all the time, right? Whether it's your cell phone next to your ear or in your pocket causing testicular cancer, whether it's, you know, Any of these things that we, we've discussed today, right? So, so, and then when it comes to the water supplies, you should absolutely have a filter. Now, people discuss the Burkey filter being the best filter. You can get a, a replacement for the Burkey filter or, uh, like an off-brand burkey filter. I believe I got mine on Amazon for $120, uh, which most people are moving towards that model anyways. So, uh, go find it. It's this big silver jug. Um, you put it next to your sink for $120. You can have obviously, the peace of mind knowing that the government isn't controlling what chemicals go into your body. You are, when you go to this grocery store, start to turn it over and look at the labels, right? All, all of this comes with awakening and figuring out that, oh, these institutions do not have mine or my children's best interest in mind. So when you realize that you have to start to question everything from the technology you're using to the food that you're consuming, to the, the water that you're drinking and everything in between, So start to ask those questions and, and, and some of these things start to unravel. All right. Now, um, let's go into one of the, the, the more controversial parts of this discussion, which turns into, um, where Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Mentions, uh, Dr. Peter Ho hoes, H o e T Z will probably find out here how to actually pronounce it, because I'm probably doing a terrible job when he brings it up here. So let's bring up that portion of the conversation, because that's going to bring us into the rest of our discussion where Twitter starts to explode with Joe Rogan calling out this physician, this doctor, this vaccine scientist. To debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Because he starts to tweet out about this conversation between the two of them. Um, and so well, let's dive into the details, but, but let's, let's hear the intro here where, uh, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. First discusses this, uh, man at two hours and 26 minutes. Um, so let me find that timestamp for you in two hours, 26 minutes and 30 seconds, judge on many, many debates. And I've asked Hotez Hotez many, many times, so I was completely wrong, Hotez. And I think you've asked him here, why don't you debate Robert Kennedy? And he said, cuz he's a cunning lawyer or something like that. But, um, yeah, but I've debated hotels on the telephone with. Uh, you know, with kind of a referee. And, you know, I, his, his science is, is, is just made up. He cannot stand by it. He can't cite studies. Well, he was trying to tell me that vaccines don't cause autism. I said, yeah, his daughter has autism and wrote a book. Yeah, that, but I asked him, my daughter doesn't have that, didn't get her autism from a vaccine. But I've read that book and there is no science cited in that book. It's just him saying, you know, it didn't happen. And listen, I, I wouldn't wish that on anybody. And I, and God bless him, and God bless that little girl and, you know, I wrote, have nothing but, um, you know, good energy going to them and, you know, but it's not, he's using her as a leverage to tell people, you, you know, there's no problem here. But this is my point that I, I asked him what does, and he said, there's a, a few, there's environmental factors they're aware of. I go, what are those? And you couldn't cite them. Yeah. Like how can you be so sure to say this definitely doesn't, but you're telling me there's a bunch of environmental factors that do cause it, and we're aware of those factors, but you're not aware of 'em and you're an expert in this. Yeah. How is that possible? You're a, I mean, that that's the main, he's a health expert. That's the big question that anybody who says it's not the vaccines, I'm like, okay, fine. But they don't want, if you say, tell me it's not the vaccines, people go, oh yeah, good. That's, that's what I wanted to hear. That's what I want to hear. What is it when you say it is the vaccines. People go, oh my God, I don't want to hear that. They don't want to hear it. And they get angry. They get angry at you and they go, oh, tin foil hat, conspiracy theorist, and. Yeah, but the fact that no one will debate you speaks volumes, especially now, they can't say now that you're not popular. And what's, uh, crazy is that Biden now has decided he's not even gonna debate anybody in the primary. I, I, I and I, I had, um, I'll just tell you one story. The Connecticut State legislature was debating, okay? So there is your entry into the big explosion of controversy that came out from Dr. Peter Hotez, as we now know his name is pronounced. Uh, gosh. I just feel like there's been a few names. Oh. Oh. And I would like to make one correction from my last podcast. So, um, somebody, somebody pointed this out to me as, as in the last podcast where I was interviewing John F. Kennedy and discussing, um, the. Actual shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. Um, I, I mixed two characters up in this tale, which is that, um, Lee Harvey Oswald was actually, uh, assassinated by Jack Ruby. Um, the person that I mixed him up with was, uh, Mr. Ferry. I forget Mr. Ferry's first name, but Mr. Ferry was actually supposed to be allegedly the, the getaway man who was the director or some position above Lee Harvey Oswald, which shows the connection between him and Lee Harvey Oswald of the, uh, civil air patrol or some, some sort of, uh, uh, you know, institution that he was a part of that had to do with flight. And so, um, that was the mix up that I made. So, uh, correction for my last podcast, it was not Mr. Fairy who assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald. It's basically everybody knows who's done any research on that or was around during the time. Um, it was actually. Uh, Jack Ruby, which is the famous, you know, individual, but there was mafia ties between, uh, Mr. Fairy, which I, I I correctly discussed, which showed that there was mafia ties, but potentially between him and Lee Harvey Oswald, as well as the cia, he was the CIAs as well. So, um, all of that holds true. It was just the naming that I got wrong, so I did wanna make that correction, uh, but. Now let's jump into this because you know, I'm talking about misplaced names, Mr. Peter Hotez. Dr. Peter Hotez, uh, is a foremost scientist when it comes, it comes to vaccine studies. He was actually at one point, uh, potentially going to take over the position of, of, uh, Fauci. Um, but the reason that he's discussed on this podcast between the two of them is that he was on Joe Rogan's podcast and Joe Rogan was during interviewing him goes, okay, okay, so I, I get that you wanna bring up vaccines or whatever, how he entered in this conversation, but, but let me ask you some questions. Do, do you go outside regularly? And the guy says, well, you know, not, not as much as I should. And he goes, okay, do you eat healthy? Like, how often do you eat junk food? And he goes, well, you know, I, I, I like junk food. And he's this, you know, kind of overweight older gentleman who's a absolutely not in the type of shape that Robert F. Kennedy Junior is in. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is like pretty jacked for being as old as he is. Um, In great shape. And I guess there's a video floating around of him doing like a back flip recently, uh, on Instagram or Twitter or something. But, um, pretty wild. Anyways, so this sparks a response from Peter Hotez and Peter Hotez is I'm gonna trickle back over to, uh, Joe Rogan's, uh, Twitter account where we start to see some responses to this situation from Peter Hotez. So Professor Peter Hotez, MD PhD said Spotify has stopped even sort of trying to stem Joe Rogan's vaccine misinformation. It's really true. Uh, Anna Melon just awful. And from all the online attacks I'm receiving after this absurd podcast, it's clear many actually believe this nonsense. And then he quotes a fricking vice article like an idiot. So Peter Hotez comes out and, and makes fun of the Joe Rogan podc
Following the Supreme Court's decision Thursday in Allen v. Milligan, which rejected Alabama lawmakers' 2022 congressional redistricting plan by claiming it violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins JT to explain more.
With millions of individuals burdened by student loan debt for two decades or more, the Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) waiver has the potential to offer much-needed relief. However, it may also morph into a significant political issue as a substantial number of older voters struggle with loan repayments. In this discussion, I examine the questionable financial choices made by colleges, such as allocating large budgets for non-essential expenses, and delve into the increasingly lavish nature of higher education costs, such as the growing focus on luxury amenities rather than educational quality. I also explore the amount of long-term student loan debt and the profound impact it has on the lives of many Americans. In today's episode, you'll find out: How the IDR waiver can potentially reform bankruptcy regulations for student loan debt The probability of a student loan tax bomb impacting borrowers in 2030 Factors contributing to rising college costs The shift towards upscale amenities and programs in higher education to attract students The government's role in student loan debt and its evolution as a political issue The societal impact of the Grad PLUS program Predominant methods Americans use to finance higher education The average age of student loan borrowers The amount of student loan debt held by borrowers and why they hold it for so long Like the show?

This week Shane Page and Fr. Rossi discuss knowing ourselves to follow closer with the Lord.
So many of us are looking more closely at our beliefs - especially around culture and race. While we're looking for "answers", personal experience is causing many to feel defensive in their lack of understanding of broader issues. Then there are those who are certain they know the answer - and that there is a larger problem that is "someone else's" (probably those people who don't get it, or are being defensive). This energy is particularly curious for me because I want to know the thoughts, opinions and predominant beliefs of all those around me. We ARE different. How much of us are creating the larger dialogue and present reality while claiming to want to dismantle it? The most outspoken can often be the most guilty. Predominant ideas circle and return again each time society has changed as people continue to hold to stereotypes because of fear fed by messaging that sets us apart. Yes, we're different, but we're also all human and we won't be able to see that unless we increase our power by seeing ourselves in our experiences and allowing ourselves to tell the truth in intimate conversations. We cannot continue to fear "the other"; self-honesty must deconstruct our limiting beliefs and cease the payment of buying into false walls. Take what you like in finding the value in those who are not like you. Learn about others, make friends, open up, seek to understand and identify from the inside out.
Composers of tonal music, from the 17th century through to the latest jazz tune or film score, think mainly in terms of how their chords succeed each other, rather than taking chords in isolation.We will investigate the most important succession of chords in Western music, the cadence. Cadences are a kind of punctuation, dividing music into sentences or periods. They are also responsible for creating a sense of relief or suspense.A lecture by Marina Frolova-Walker recorded on 26 January 2023 at LSO St Luke's, London.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/musical-cadencesGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Today, we're continuing the conversation with mark McQueen, City Manager, Panama City, Florida. Last week we discussed Mark's leadership journey from 2nd Lieutenant to Two Star General in the United States Army. This week Mark is talking to us about Hurricane Michael. He had been on the job less than two weeks when Hurricane Michael came ashore in Panama City. [00:00:09] Tommy Thomas: On October the 10th, 2018, Mark's life along with countless thousands of lives on the Florida Panhandle was changed forever. Hurricane Michael made landfall! [00:00:21] Tommy Thomas: Rather than get in the way with too many questions, I'm going to let Mark walk us through Michael's approach, landfall and recovery. [00:00:29] Mark McQueen: Thank you Tommy. That certainly was a a fateful time in this community October 10th, 2018. And what was interesting about that on that day is Nobody really saw it coming. [00:00:39] Mark McQueen: It the formulation of the storm happened exceptionally rapidly. I can remember it was coming back from Auburn on Sunday afternoon after attending my niece's wedding on Saturday, on Sunday afternoon, my wife and I were driving back home in on the radio as we were coming through Dothan. We heard, hey, there's a little tropical wave down in off the coast of the Yucatan. I was like, okay, that's interesting. No big deal. Tropical depression, excuse me. Down off the coast of the Yucatan, no big deal. Nothing to really think of. By Monday there was of a little bit of scuttlebutt. It might turn into a hurricane category one. didn't think anything much of that because, this community's gone through storms after storm, just like most of Florida has. [00:01:20] Mark McQueen: Then by Tuesday it was like, okay, this is going to be a hurricane, might be a two, could grow to a three. And so that starts getting folks attention. And I can remember it was that Tuesday morning we had a a commission meeting. It was my very first commission meeting and there it was. Very few people there. By that morning, . Sure enough, it was growing very rapidly. And the county our county government had declared a state of emergency and evacuation. So it, it had gone from this little tropical depression on a Sunday afternoon by Tuesday morning. It was mandatory evacuations and multiple places within the city and Bay County here in the panhandle of Florida. Sure enough the next day we had Hurricane Michael hit us and hit us pretty hard. And it was it was mostly a wind event, although there was a significant tropical or excuse me, significant rain and storm surge that took place particularly to the east of the eye of the storm hitting our dear sister, city of Mexico Beach very hard with about. 17- or 18-foot storm surge and wiped off the face of the earth that entire city. And they're having a, they're doing a phenomenal job of rebuilding. But the point I guess I'm trying to make is that for, it was like an F five tornado that sat on top of the city for about four hours and we lost all water, all sewer, all power, all communications. It was total blackout and that lasted for at least two weeks before we got power restored. In the interim what was interesting Verizon is the. Predominant cellular carrier in the area. I think they had it somewhere between 85-87% of the market share for this area. And they took it on the chin because they're a fiber based type of communication system. And we found out that there was a. At and t and some of the others sprint and T-Mobile had some ability to continue to operate, but very few people had those phones. So communicating with citizens, communicating with staff, communicating with each other, and other governments other city governments and county governments was very difficult. [00:03:29] Mark McQueen: Extremely difficult. And like I said, it was just pitch black at night and no water, no sewer, no nothing. And a as we emerged from that storm we had about a million trees that were da uprooted and all over the city. And we're talking large trees, a hundred, 150, 2000-year-old pine trees that were here and a hundred year old Oak Century Oaks all over the place. [00:03:53] Mark McQueen: And we had trains that were laying on their side, railroad trains that were laying on their sides. It was just massive destruction to. . And as I shared earlier that it felt like for me being on another deployment, in a war-torn country, and that was okay. We've gotta get on with this. We've got to find a way. First and foremost is meet the needs of our citizens. Safety and security, getting them food and water helping them in their current condition because their homes were decimated. Their lives were totally. Different than they were just four hours earlier. And that became the focus of what we did to meet the immediate needs. But as you're meeting the immediate needs of your citizens, the same thing as you've got to start charting simultaneously and unparallel, where are you going? What is your future direction for how you're going to recover the city? [00:04:45] Mark McQueen: And working out of a very grateful to Verizon that gave us a a emergency trailer that we could work out of. The mayor and I and a couple of the staff, we started banging out what our vision would be for the city is we wanted to emerge from the storm. And so eventually the whole point was to create this strategic campaign strategy for how we were going to rebuild the city while simultaneously meeting the immediate needs of our citizens. That was very difficult. Very difficult because our city employees were. also harmed by the storm. And so for the city employees that are essential workers, you depend on all of your city employees. Doesn't matter what your municipality is, but for your water lines, your sewer lines, your police, your fire all of the functions that city government does. All of those employees were, their homes were destroyed and uprooted and lives were forever changed. And so helping them, To get in temporary lodging so that they could help the citizens was so important so that we could start the recovery efforts and clearly very fortunate Governor Scott at the time. And then within a few weeks we had a statewide election and Governor DeSantis, who is just in a phenomenal job of helping us in recovery from Hurricane Michael. There was an enormous commitment from the state to bring in outside resources to help. So please fire emergency services and then the benevolence of nonprofits organizations, faith-based organizations that would pour it into this community. [00:06:17] Mark McQueen: To help us in our great time of needs. It was classic neighbors helping neighbors and doing it for the absolute right reasons. Not for attention, not for any notoriety, not for any game. It was just people coming from all over the United States coming to this community to help us in our darkest hour. And so as a result of that, it was just a, it was really. Transformative time for the city and forever changed the direction that the city was going on going in pre-storm to post storm. Coming out of the storm we had the desire to become the premier city in the Panhandle of Florida. [00:06:56] Mark McQueen: That's our stated objective. And why not? We're the largest city between Tallahassee and Pensacola. We have attributes going for us in terms of the industrial base, the intercoastal waterway, the medical capacity, financial institutions, education institutions commerce corridors, and nonetheless are citizens, the great asset of this community and And so from that we focused on four things, and this is very akin to a lot of the campaign strategy that we used in the military. So, number one, priority, safety and security of our people, their property and the environment. We worked really hard to maintain that safety and security, and we continue to do to. [00:07:33] Mark McQueen: So to this day, the second thing we focused on is the infrastructure, the key and vital infrastructure, the water, the sewer, storm drain systems, the roadway networks all of those things that are vital to create the connective tissue and support of the essential services in support of our citizens and businesses. The third thing we're focusing on is the economy. Making, rebuilding an economy to make it more robust and resilient, to be that creating that irreversible momentum of the economy to continue to grow in. The fourth is gonna be quality of life that which knits people together, enriches people's lives and all the dimensions of that, whether it's parks and recreation to marinas, to walkability, bikeability, the arts, the history, the culture houses of worship, all of those things are necessary to set the conditions for becoming the premier city in the panhandle. [00:08:22] Tommy Thomas: As you think you had to deal with FEMA and the federal and state government drawing back on your military experience what was the lessons that you brought forward as you had to go make your appeal for the funding and probably face rejection? I'm sure two or three times along the way before you begin to get it. [00:08:42] Mark McQueen: Yeah. The US Congress established through the Stafford Act, the funding mechanism for FEMA to be able to exist, and I will tell you that FEMA is full of great Americans that are committed to helping rebuild communities after an emergency declaration. What's interesting, I did learn is that there, there are roughly about 50 to 60 federally declared disasters across the United States and all of its territories every single year. And so, it's a massive effort that FEMA has to deal with. Every year to support the citizens of this great nation, and they are great citizens. I think that over time the bureaucracy has just grown to become such a behemoth that it's not very efficient or effective in getting things done nimbly. and with agility. You asked what was the difference between this experience and my military experience? And in many cases, you could rebuild foreign countries faster than you can build, rebuild your own community in the United States of America. And it's not because of anything else other than the massive amount of bureaucracy and review and process that has to be employed by FEMA to ensure that. correctly and appropriately being good stewards of the federal taxpayer's dollars. I'm not throwing a rock at them, it's just, it's massively bureaucratic, which, here we are four, four years post storm and we're clearly still in recovery and will be for probably four or five more years to be able to rebuild our city. [00:10:22] Mark McQueen: And it's, wildly expensive. But with, again, if the people have no vision, they will perish. And we had to strike that vision. That's why we're gonna be the premier city in the Panhandle Florida. And the four lines of efforts of everything we're doing is pouring into rebuilding our city to be that premier. [00:10:42] Tommy Thomas: What was the nearest thing in your military experience that, that approximated Michael? [00:10:47] Mark McQueen: Just been in three areas. Certainly Bosnia. After to implement the Dayton Peace Accords. So you had the warring factions there. Been over to Afghanistan, certainly Iraq very much very akin, very different environment. But nonetheless, when you have communities that have been destroyed through war. or through natural disasters, the end result is chaos and disruption of life. And there's a lot of parallels there. Fortunately, bullets aren't flying here in the United States and certainly not in Panama City. What we're doing is we're fundamentally rebuilding, and that's a very akin to what I experienced being in those deployments Additionally, I shared earlier about one of the things we were involved in was humanitarian assistance operations. And that was very formative in my military career and certainly coming out of Hurricane Michael. Certainly, in the initial months it was about humanitarian assistance. How do you meet the immediate needs of people in their greatest time of need? And how do you help? International organizations now non-profit organizations, private volunteer organizations, faith-based organizations to help them to get resources to people in their time of need. It's it was challenging to be sure but clearly the experience in the, my journey, my walk, my experience in the United States Army certainly helped me personally to be aware of some of the issues that may come up and how you can help better meet the needs of your citizens, not only their immediate needs. [00:12:17] Mark McQueen: Their long-term needs, which would be having a society in a city that would be able to help them to get their kids back in school, help them to be able to get their businesses back up and running. Help them to be able to get their homes reestablished, getting their lives back to a sense of new normal that they would be experiencing. [00:12:38] Tommy Thomas: So, is there a playbook now or anything that y'all have developed post mihael that that you would turn to? the next time [00:12:46] Mark McQueen: around. It's it is funny you asked that, Tommy, because just about five or six weeks ago, our dear neighbors to this in South Florida were hit by Hurricane Ian, an incredible storm that had catastrophic damage to the peninsula of the southern p southwest corner of the state of Florida and certainly the peninsula. And went on up into the car, Georgia and the Carolinas. And the mayor and I were asked to go down to Fort Myers Beach and help that community. That got hit pretty hard because of Hurricane Ian. And that's exactly what we did, Tommy, is we took our playbook and said here are lessons that we've learned. Here are things that we're recommending that you look at doing that worked well for us that will help you to set the conditions for your success in recovery. And we spent a lot of time helping them in those initial weeks and have continued to do so in the in. Lee County area. In fact there was a team from my police department that here we are, like I said, six weeks after the storm, I think it may be seven weeks. And we're still sending folks down there. We sent a team of our law enforcement teammates to go on down to Sanibel Island to help them as they opened up the island to allow citizens to start getting on with recovery on of their homes and their businesses. Yeah, there is a playbook and it establishes a framework for how to rebuild after a catastrophic event such as a hurricane. And not that it's a cookie cutter, but it sure gives you a framework and some general guidelines of how you may want to consider recovering. And we absolutely wanted to share that with our dear neighbors to the South that suffered so badly from Hurricane Ian. [00:14:23] Tommy Thomas: I can relate to Mark's comments about have we, we're not expecting a huge hurricane. My wife, Nancy and I had moved to the beach a couple of weeks before. For hurricane Michael hit. I remember Nancy coming in one afternoon saying we should evacuate. At first, I didn't take her very seriously, but as we listened to the radio and talk to people in the area, we decided that was best. The nearest pet friendly accommodations were at the Hampton Inn in Auburn. So we packed up a few clothes. But Bella and snowball into the truck and drove north. Words can't describe what we returned to. The Florida Panhandle is four years into rebuilding from Hurricane Michael. There are still scars from the damage that Michael inflicted on the area, but we are recovering. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Mark and the other government and civic leaders who stepped up big time in the aftermath of Michael. Next week we continue the subsidiaries. The Coaches in my Life our guests are Dr. Linda Livingstone, the president of Baylor university and Shelby Livingstone (her daughter) who is the Assistant Volleyball Coach at Liberty University. Both women excelled in intercollegiate athletics in their undergraduate days, they will be sharing with us some of the life and leadership lessons they learned from The Coaches in Their Lives.

CardioNerd (Daniel Ambinder) and series co-chairs Mark Belkin (AHFT Fellow, University of Chicago) and Karan Desai (Cardiologist, Johns Hopkins), join fellow lead, Dr. Pablo Sanchez (FIT, Stanford) for a discussion with Dr. Ryan Tedford (Professor of Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina) about Right Ventricular (RV) predominant cardiogenic shock. In this episode we explore risk factors, pathophysiology, hemodynamics, and treatment strategies in this common and complex problem. We dissect three cases that epitomize the range of diagnostic dilemmas and management decisions in RV predominant shock, as Dr. Tedford expertly weaves us through the pathophysiology and decision-making involved in managing the “people's ventricle.” Audio editing by Dr. Gurleen Kaur (Director of the CardioNerds internship program, CardioNerds academy fellow, and IM resident at Brigham and Women's Hospital). The CardioNerds Cardiac Critical Care Series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Mark Belkin, Dr. Eunice Dugan, Dr. Karan Desai, and Dr. Yoav Karpenshif.

Pearls and Quotes - RV Predominant Cardiogenic Shock The degree of RV dysfunction and failure are modulated by stretching its capacity to tolerate insults from deranged afterload, preload, and contractility.Afterload insults are MUCH LESS tolerated than other insults and broadly comprise the most common pathophysiologic cause of both acute and chronic RV failure.RV and left ventricular (LV) function are anatomically and physiologically connected. Progressive derangements in RV function can lead to the deadly “RV spiral,” in which poor RV function causes lower LV preload, leading to hypotension, and thus worsening RV perfusion and function.In RV failure/shock, some basic tenets including treating reversible causes, optimizing preload and afterload, and using inotropes and/or temporary MCS for as limited time as possible.Many acute RV failure patients can recover, but multiorgan injury plays an important role. Therefore, thoughtful and expeditious use of mechanical circulatory support is important. Show notes - RV Predominant Cardiogenic Shock Notes drafted by Dr. Pablo Sanchez. What is the basic difference between RV dysfunction and failure?Dysfunction: Abnormalities in systolic/diastolic function of the RV, but not necessarily to the point of leading to end-organ perfusion defects. RV dysfunction leads to poor outcomes regardless of mechanism.1Failure: Clinical syndrome of inability of RV to maintain adequate output despite adequate preload. 1 How is the RV different from the LV and what impact does it have on pathophysiology and hemodynamics?The LV and RV originate from different embryologic “heart fields.”1,2The RV wall is thinner and more compliant and has only two layers (instead of 3 like the LV).3 Furthermore, unlike the LV which has a significant proportion of endocardial and epicardial transverse myocardial fibers, the RV myocardial fibers are aligned in a longitudinal plane for the most part. Thus, a more significant proportion of RV systolic contraction is longitudinal – base of the ventricle moving towards the apex.The RV is crescent-shaped and has a large surface-to-volume ratio meaning smaller inward motion ejects the same stroke volume. 1Hemodynamically, the RV takes blood from a low-pressure venous system and gives it to a distensible system with low impedance (the normal pulmonary circuit at baseline typically has a resistance one-tenth of the systemic resistance). Therefore, volume loads (preload) are much better handled...
Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a complex, multifactorial syndrome associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The CardioNerds Critical Care Cardiology Series tackles this important syndrome in a series of several episodes including: LV-predominant Shock, RV-predominant Shock, and Bi-ventricular Shock. In this episode, we review the definitions, pathophysiology, evaluation, and contemporary management, including use of inotropes and mechanical circulatory support, of left ventricular (LV) predominant CS. Series co-chairs Dr. Eunice Dugan and Dr. Karan Desai along with CardioNerds Co-founders Dr. Amit Goyal and Dr. Daniel Ambinder were joined by FIT lead, Dr. Vanessa Blumer, the recipient of the AHA 2021 Laennec Fellow in Training Clinician Award and currently pursuing Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic.

Pearls and Quotes - LV Predominant Cardiogenic Shock LV-CS is complex! It is important to recognize that the pathophysiology of heart failure-related cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) is distinct from that of acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CS), and also crucial to differentiate between LV-dominant, right ventricular (RV)-dominant and biventricular (BiV)-shock.The SCAI SHOCK Stage Classification provides a unified and standardized vocabulary when assessing severity of CS, and facilitates communication about the diagnosis, presentation, and evolving nature of CS.Norepinephrine is considered the initial vasopressor of choice in most CS patients; the initial inotrope choice is a bit more nuanced!When considering mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for LV shock, high-quality data to guide therapy is lacking but one must always consider “the right patient, for the right device, at the right time” and remember that “pumps pump blood, decisions save lives”.Multidisciplinary, team-based care is paramount to improving survival of the critically ill patient with CS. Show notes - LV Predominant Cardiogenic Shock 1. What tools do you use to define LV CS? CS is a hemodynamically complex and multifactorial syndrome, one of the most common indications for admission to a cardiac intensive care unit, with short-term mortality ranging from 35-50%.It is defined by systemic hypoperfusion and tissue hypoxia due to a primary cardiac insult or dysfunction.Clinical criteria used to define CS typically include evidence of hypotension (classically defined as SBP < 90 mmHg for 30 minutes and/or use of vasopressors, inotropes, or MCS to maintain systolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg) AND evidence of end-organ hypoperfusion (for example, serum lactic acid > 2 mmol/L, acute kidney injury, acute liver injury, altered mental status) in the setting of acute coronary syndrome or acute decompensated heart failure.Laboratory markers, including serum lactic acid, liver function tests,
Why are up to 70% of the world's CEOs considering quitting their jobs? According to Caren Kenney, head of the Premiere Executive Leadership program at Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute and co-author of the book Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy, most of the world's C-Suite executives are not trained in sustainable practices for overall wellness.

In episode 274, Kestrel welcomes Michelle Zhu, the CEO & cofounder of Huue, to the show. In an effort to replace toxic chemical dyes in apparel, Huue are developing biosynthetic dyes — their initial focus is to provide an alternative to synthetic indigo. “We are creating a biosynthetic solution that is a one-to-one drop-in replacement into the textile supply chain. We're creating these bio-identicals that can minimize the footprint of production of these dyes and pigments, but without disrupting the supply chain process that is required to make the authentic look and feel of denim that everybody knows and loves.” -Michelle Zhu Are you familiar with biosynthetics? If so, do you understand what they are or how they operate? So often terms like this get thrown around in the *sustainability* space, without a lot of context or definitions. They are assumed to fall into the good box or the bad box, when yet again – there is a lot more information needed to understand the bigger picture. So, here's the super basics – biosynthetics are made of renewable materials, instead of being petroleum based. We often hear about them from a fiber stance, so fabrics made up of biopolymers from corn or sugar or other ingredients. But on this week's show, we're diving into more on how biosynthetics are being used for textile dyeing. Today, the majority of our clothes are colored with synthetic dyes. If we look back, the first synthetic dye was accidentally discovered in the 1850s when an 18-year old chemist was searching for a treatment for malaria. And since then, they've gradually taken over due to their speed and efficacy. But take indigo – the color that we align with denim. Today, every kilogram of synthetic indigo produced uses 75x the amount of petroleum. And it involves the use of dangerous chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde, and sodamide. This week's guest cofounded a company that's leveraging biosynthetics to address the extreme toxicity across the textile dye industry. They've started with indigo blue, and are building one-to-one solutions that can be inserted directly into the current manufacturing infrastructure.

Show notes Dr. Charol Shakeshaft is a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University who studies educator sex abuse towards students prevalence and prevention. Subscribe to the Cybertraps Newsletter How much abuse of kids is happening and has it gotten better? Why has there been so much scandal around the catholic church and so little around The power of grooming students, colleagues, parents, etc. Uninterrupted and unobserved time with students. Much still occurs in the school fact to face. We don't know how much this is happening, nor do we know whether it is increasing or decreasing. UAWW data surprisingly showed that students had been touched inappropriately by adults, when the study was looking for peer interactions. 10% of kids People don't want to fund research in this area. Why the discrepancy between the catholic church and schools doing this. Predominant genders involved Districts are very closed when these things happen and don't allow much to be said. Organizational decisions that get made about Structural issue rather than an individual issue. Challenges of a school system: not judging a colleague, closed rooms, nobody Did you see the signs? Why didn't you say anything? The culture is such that they don't feel safe saying something. SESAME Organization 133 superintendents - Too much passing the trash. We took care of the problem so “our” kids would be safe. By not saying anything, we are giving people permission to expand a predicliction Schools don't just allow this to happen, schools help people find this in themselves. “It must be OK” if adults aren't calling it out. Pay attention to how a student reports. Kids don't say it straight up. Think of addictions, and what sets people up for doing that addiction. Start out being lonely and then it leads to another thing. Prevention - look at the organization - Policies (do they follow them?), training (not just mandatory reporting), hiring practices (not calling references), Presidium training

Have you ever found yourself playing the “If/then” game? Like, “If I could only (do this better), then they wouldn't get so upset with me”? That can be due to experiencing gaslighting, and Sarah is here to deconstruct that for you so that you don't fall into it anymore! If you're listening for the first time, Sarah works with people in a variety of ways to understand gaslighting, shift the power, and heal from the effects gaslighting has had on them. If you'd like to learn more, please visit her website https://www.sarahmoralescoaching.com/ (here). Word of the day: Concession: the act of conceding or yielding, as a right, a privilege, or a point or fact in an argument; something allowed or given up, often in order to end a disagreement. One of Sarah's biggest passions is to help people awaken to how they are making concessions in their lives and relationships. Jeannie's story is the perfect example of how this sounds, AND plays out in our lives… Storytime: Sarah and Jeannie discuss the recurring experience with Jeannie's ex-boyfriend, where she was told to make choices, but when she did, she experienced a variety of gaslighting behaviors that were basically consequences (unless her choice was the same one her ex wanted, too). They talked about the role of the “non-choice choice”, or what ended up being a mirage of having choice… Jeannie's ex only made it LOOK like she had a choice, but she didn't. They talk about the role of making concessions in their dynamic; how she would sacrifice her needs/safety in order to benefit him/his needs. Deconstruction Zone: The main point: the Ex's end game; It jumped out at Sarah when she read Jeannie's words: “I quickly learned that he wanted to know what I wanted, as long as that was what he wanted too.” Predominant gaslighting pattern: Mind games: make it look like he gave Jeannie a choice > only okay when it's what he also wanted; when not what he wanted – “dealer's choice” (including combinations of the following): Exaggerate his wounds, highlight her “flaws”, refuse to accept answers, give in and then be resentful/find something to be upset about and then blame her (DARVO). All = undermine, break down and control Combined with coercion Effect = Break down of independence = “conditioned” The combination of Jeannie trying to see things from other's perspective + seeing/doing the work of trying to anticipate/meet needs/balance his moods filters into the Empathy and Negotiation traps… put these two together, and it's the perfect recipe for making concessions: “they feel this way because ____, and IF I can _____, then ______ (Negotiation). Set Your Alarm: Two things to pay attention to: Concession vs compromise Pause vs discard Remember – it's not about becoming who you want to be, it's about awakening all that you already are!
