A man after my own heart, this guy.
Appalling statistical fact after appalling statistical fact regarding the abysmal state of American health — and the culprits behind it.
Any remaining façade of legitimacy by these two horrendous industries — pharmaceutical and processed food — is now lost forever. This, I believe in my heart, is a sea-change moment as Americans have slowly begun to realize what’s been done to them for decades now.
Obesity, cancer, autism — all laid directly and explicitly at the feet of a highly orchestrated and well-funded corporate machine that lies for a living and colludes with the government to push its products for cash and social control, and directly.
Seventy-five percent of Americans are overweight or obese. We spend twice what we spend on the military budget (which is already extremely bloated and wasteful as it is) on treating chronic disease. One in 22 Californian kids is autistic. The devastating stats go on for days.

Shoutout to Chris Queen for putting the entire transcript together:
We're about 79th in health outcomes behind Costa Rica and Nicaragua and Mongolia and other countries. Nobody has a chronic disease burden like we have. And during the COVID epidemic, we had the highest body count of any country in the world. We had 16% of the COVID deaths, and we only have 4.2% of the world's population.
And CDC says that's because we are the sickest people on earth. We have the highest chronic disease rate on earth, and the average American who died of COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So these were people who had immune system collapse, who had mitochondrial dysfunction, and no other country has anything like this.
Two-thirds of American adults and children suffer from chronic health issues. Fifty years ago, that number was less than 1%. Oh, we've gone from 1% to 66%. In America, 74% of Americans are now overweight or obese, and 50% of our children. A hundred and twenty years ago, when somebody was obese as they were, they were sent to the circus.
There were literally case reports done about them. Obesity was almost unknown. In Japan, the childhood obesity rate is 3%, compared to 50% here. Half of Americans have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. When my uncle was president, and I was a boy, juvenile diabetes was effectively nonexistent.
A typical pediatrician would see one case of diabetes during his entire career, a 40- or 50-year career. Today, one out of every three kids who walks through his office door is diabetic or pre-diabetic, and the mitochondrial disorder has caused diabetes and is also causing Alzheimer's, which is now classified as diabetes, and it's costing this country more than our military budget every year.
There's been an explosion of neurological illnesses that I never saw as a kid: ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, Tourette syndrome, narcolepsy, ASD, Asperger's, autism. In the year 2000, the autism rate was 1 in 1,500. Now, autism rates in kids are 1 in 36, according to CDC, nationally.
Nobody's talking about this. One in every 22 kids in California has autism, and this is a crisis: that 77% of our kids cannot or are too disabled to serve in the United States military. What is happening to our country, and why isn't this in the headlines every single day?
I’ve never been more hopeful than I currently am that we’re going to get some real traction on this most critical issue of our poisoned food, water, and drug supplies with a Trump-RFK Jr. alliance.
