Full Transcript Executive Action as Emergency Triage 0:02 Welcome everybody to the Eat Pray Faith podcast with Dr. Tracy. That's me. I am 0:07 your host and I'm so excited to welcome back my very good friend and what I
Trumpu2019s Role in Exposing and Fixing the System 0:12 would say one of the first people that I really followed on the political front 0:17 because of her Christian faith, her unbiased opinion, her incredible 0:23 research and just understanding the topics at hand. So, I always tried to 0:28 stay out of the political realm, Mary Grace, but I I jumped right into it 0:32 then. But Mary Grace, she is here. She is the founder and owner of Mary Grace 0:37 Media and also the host of the Mary Grace Show. Today, we're going to be 0:41 talking about grassroot responsibilities in the Maha movement and some other 0:46 things and some words of wisdom for Mary. So, welcome back. I'm so glad 0:49 you're here. It's a pleasure to be here. Always love uh joining up with you, 0:54 Tracy. I love what you're doing. Well, I think we are on, you know,
From Chaos to Reform: It Starts with You 0:58 different sides of the same issue, right? I mean, everything comes back, I 1:03 feel, in this health to, you know, who's in charge and who's setting the 1:09 precedent from the top down, but really, I think you and I align with the 1:14 grassroots movement and and what we can do in our own communities and what it 1:18 takes when moms and dads choose not to stay silent. So, that's a big thing. But
How Federal Power Hijacked Education 1:25 uh I want to let you talk on a few things. I know you had some, you know, 1:29 just some words of wisdom and topics you wanted to talk about. So let's just 1:32 start with the first one. Sure. I one of the things that uh that has been
COVID-19: A Crash Course in Overreach 1:40 impressed upon me in recent years I I've been deep into the political space uh 1:47 for about 10 years now as a commentator uh as an as I would say an analyst and 1:54 I've been watching the evolution of MAGA and now MA and there there's something 2:02 that I've noticed that is a prevalent attitude ude across this movement and 2:07 that is uh there's there's a tendency to want to relegate the responsibility and 2:15 the results to one or two or a group of people and I I think that is that is not
Closing Call: Stay Awake, Stay Accountable 2:23 that is not advised and and the reason for that is because each person has been 2:29 given agency and and free will and as Americans ans especially we are an we're 2:37 an individualistic society we're not pluralistic 2:41 uh but sometimes when I see people and their attitudes toward a leader like 2:46 Trump there is this tendency because because he's so highly capable and 2:52 because he's so charismatic and uh because he's he's proven as somebody who 2:58 gets results there's a tendency to think oh good now he's in office um he's going 3:05 to fix everything and and that I think that's a dangerous tendency uh 3:11 regardless of who is in office. It doesn't matter where you fall 3:14 politically. If you're looking at a person or a group of persons to to do 3:22 that to to manage you and your life and all of the things that are important to 3:27 you there, you're going to set yourself up for 3:31 disappointment and uh and maybe even heartache. And I think we're walking 3:37 through a perfect example of that right now as we see the disclosures and the 3:43 revelations of what's coming out of the Doge investigations. We have a team that 3:49 is going into all of these agencies, all of these big government agencies, many 3:54 of them uh directly tied to healthcare. And we are seeing evidence of massive 4:03 massive grifting and money money laundering and deception. And I liken it 4:09 to finding out that your longtime partner or spouse has been cheating, 4:17 adultering, drinking, gambling, uh lying to you all this time. And the 4:24 collective let down and the collective rage that people have about this cannot 4:29 go unnoticed. And uh I I think that I I don't want to sound like I'm victim 4:36 blaming because I'm not. But I but I think everybody has had a tendency over 4:41 the years to to take at face value what these organizations say that they've 4:49 been doing. for example, USID. I think a lot of people thought that we were 4:55 legitimately rendering aid overseas when that's actually not even what it means. 5:00 It's um agency for international development. Turns out it's like a front 5:05 for the CIA. Um and it's just they're using taxpayer dollars to advance in 5:11 many cases what is uh is presented as American interest. uh which could range 5:18 from anything from running drag shows in Guatemala to watering poppy fields in 5:26 Afghanistan. I I'm not kidding. and um and and paying off media and training 5:32 media to be uh to to propagate propaganda. And and so, you know, this 5:40 is an important time in our in our nation and really 5:44 worldwide because it is to me uh a a learning opportunity. It's an 5:51 opportunity. It's an opportunity to take what we're seeing at a at a massive 5:56 scale. I mean, we're looking at the 30,000 ft view and then we're being 6:01 zoomed in to a granular level. And it is so important because whether we knew it 6:08 or not, I think every one of us had that tendency to trust that our government, 6:14 that our media, that all of these agencies that we put at least a little 6:19 bit of faith in that they let us down. And and let's not forget that some of 6:23 them are churches. a lot of them church groups, church organizations. And so if 6:28 there's anyone out there who's saying, "Oh, I knew that all along." Well, no, 6:32 you didn't know. You didn't know the details. You didn't know the extent. You 6:36 didn't know how much money these organizations were getting. You didn't 6:39 know to the dollar, uh you may have suspected that there was fraud. But 6:44 going back to the point of individual and personal responsibility, I think 6:49 that this is a watershed moment in the history of our nation. We are coming up 6:54 on 250 years as a nation and we are in a a second American revolution, but and 7:03 it's a revolution against the blob, against the elite, against the the money 7:09 class, but it's also, if we choose, it's a revolution toward personal 7:17 responsibility to make sure that not only are we holding these people and 7:21 these organizations accountable, but that we are holding ourselves 7:25 accountable for being watchmen and watch women on the walls and making sure that 7:31 nothing like this ever happens again because we we were asleep at the wheel. 7:36 And I think the the last four or five years in particular has revealed that 7:42 and made people aware of that, especially on on the health front, on 7:46 the school front, what the heck are they doing with our kids in the classroom, 7:50 all of that. And this is taking it up to another level. And it's an opportunity. 7:56 It it it's as as heartbreaking it is as it is as as much rage as it's inducing. 8:04 Uh it is also an opportunity. And we personally, each one of us, each one 8:10 listening today can take that opportunity and, you know, have a a 8:16 little come to Jesus time and think, okay, how does this affect me 8:22 personally? How was I responsible for any of it? And how can I personally get 8:29 through this and come out a better person? How can I guard myself? How can 8:33 I protect my mind? How can I control my emotions? How can I focus on the health 8:38 of my fa family and myself and my my kids, anybody that I'm in charge of? How 8:45 can I use this for good? Well, I'm going to I'm going to comment 8:50 on that because unpacking a lot, you know, with I know I went on That's okay. 8:55 No, it's all right because it it was a good summation of what we're seeing. You 8:58 know, you have this whole exposure of things. So, let's just start back five 9:03 years ago. Sure. 2020 when it seemed the whole world woke up between 2020 and 9:09 now. Yeah. I go back to prior to I've I've always been awake. I've never 9:15 trusted the government. I've always known about fluoride in the water. I've, 9:19 you know, from as long as back as I can remember. But the light bulb went off 9:25 for the 70% of Americans who considered people like me crazy. They would say, 9:31 "I'm a conspiracy theorist, antivax, you know, Bible thumping." 9:38 Like, think of all of the terms that now are like the cool kids club terms. Like, 9:43 if you say, "Yeah, I'm antiax because I know so much." Everyone's like, "That's 9:46 brilliant now. It's brilliant. You're brilliant." Five years ago, I I couldn't 9:51 get into mom groups. Like, they were like, "That's her. Don't talk to her. 9:54 She doesn't vaccinate her kids. Her kids are going to kill your kids." Right? 9:58 Here we are 5 years later. the 70% 80% whatever has woken up, you know, of of 10:04 who has chosen to wake up and they're like, "Hold on. We can't trust all these 10:09 things." And so now it's like the perfect time. It's the perfect time. 10:15 However, those people that just woke up and I'm this is not a criticism. I'm so 10:21 glad. Welcome. At one time I was asleep long, long time ago in a galaxy far far 10:25 away. But the mentality of the sit back and 10:30 take care of me is still there. So it's like I'm awake. I want to be able to 10:35 make choices for my family, but I also want you to put laws in place so I don't 10:40 have to make choices. I want you to put laws in place to protect me from having 10:43 to make choices. And it's like, I see this rolling out, right? And I don't 10:49 think we're going to see as many changes as we think we are. Now, the fact that 10:53 RFK actually got in, that that's a miracle in itself. Like I was like, 10:58 never thought it would happen. Prayed for it, like hoping for it. But at the 11:03 end of the day, he's not going to save me. You know, my choices still come down 11:07 to, okay, I'm glad everybody finally figured out there was BHD and red dyes 11:11 in cereal, which has been there for like 50 years. And why? Like I we never gave 11:18 our kids cereal growing up. and you know has have deflected that for as long as 11:22 possible. I I have a course from 10 years ago where I talked about 11:27 ingredients in food and how to read food labels. Polyorbate a BHT being an 11:33 explosive canola oil from rape seed oil which was at the EPA level and 11:39 industrial lubricant. Like I I've talked about all these things for decades. Now 11:44 they're coming to the light. But it's not because the government said so. It 11:50 was because it was the right time for people to accept the 11:54 information. Now we're at a level of what are you going to do with it? You 11:59 know it's true. And the best way to stop a market spread of anything is not to 12:07 participate in it. You don't buy it. You don't take it. You don't give it. You 12:12 just don't. at the grassroots level, you don't 12:16 participate. It It's only a product is only successful if people actually buy 12:22 into it. So, I I go back to personal responsibility and there was a post out 12:28 by actually a friend of mine who was talking about taking the jab. And I'll 12:34 just give you a little story of my husband and I, right? He's lived with me 12:38 for 16 years. He knows me. He knows me at my core, right? Recently, he's become 12:44 a journalist reporter for the local paper. And I'm always a grassroots 12:48 movement person. I, you know, stood up with all the school districts against 12:51 the masking and the vaccines and all of it. Like, anything that comes across my 12:55 plate at the local level, I'm all in. I went to our state capital. I spoke from 13:00 the steps of the state capital with the senators, the legislators. I went and 13:03 met with them. Like, I'm a grass grassroots girl. I can't wait for some 13:07 government agency to make a change. The change starts at my table in my house. 13:12 So my husband comes across this whole fluoride removal of fluoride from the 13:18 water. Now the town that I grew up in, Altuna, removed fluoride from the water 13:22 a couple decades ago. Like that happened. Um the town that I currently 13:27 live in right now has not done it yet. And actually in 2013 or 14, it came up 13:32 and through mass public comment the public saying, "Don't remove fluoride. 13:38 Oh my gosh, our teeth will fall. Like this is what happened. So they chose not 13:41 to remove the fluoride at that time. Now we have this new surge of fluoride 13:47 recognition again that it's a neurotoxin, carcinogen, all the things, 13:51 right? RFK is up there. He's talking about it, children's self-defense, all 13:54 the things. And now it's come up again. But through red tape, we have to wait 13:58 for a process to actually unplug the machine. And there's still a time for 14:03 public comment. And I'm I'm just waiting for the public comment. I want to see 14:07 what people are going to say because I'm going to be loud this time because I 14:11 actually live here. But my point is my husband wrote an article and I said it's 14:15 a neurotoxin like and he's like I want to find the truth. He's like I want to 14:20 research this. He could only get so far but he actually found out like how it 14:25 got into the water that it was never even tested that it was just an opinion 14:30 of somebody who made a correlation about some kids in Texas who had fluoride in 14:34 the water at a certain level and they didn't have cavities. But that also 14:36 found that they fudged the data, blah blah blah. Here we are all these years 14:40 later poisoning ourselves with fluoride in the water. He finds all this out. He 14:45 prints the truth and says, "Hey, this shouldn't be in our water and our local 14:49 people need to do something." Which they're trying to do. So this is where 14:52 we are. My point to that was 16 years. And he would send me texts recently and 14:57 be like, "Did you know this about fluoride?" And send me a text. I'm like, 15:00 "Yes." Then he would send me another text. He'd be like, I was like, "Yes." 15:04 My point is you can live in a house with somebody, right? And I can believe a 15:09 thing and know a thing and preach a thing and it doesn't mean that my spouse 15:14 or anybody else in the house is going to get into their psyche until there is a 15:22 turning point for them that clicks it on. And that I think right now is this 15:30 administration. I think it is turning on that turning point for people. But I 15:34 also think there's a sit back and wait and take care of me that we haven't 15:39 overcome yet. There's this level of like stepping up and stepping in and doing 15:44 the hard. And it's hard when you give up your Froot Loops. It's hard when you 15:48 don't eat the sugar. It's hard when you have to learn to read labels. It's hard 15:52 when you have to pay $3 more dollars for a loaf of bread that's not sprayed with 15:56 glyphosate. It's hard when you have to get your own chickens. It's hard when 16:00 you have to grow your food. I don't know if we're ready for that. Mary Grace, 16:03 what do you think? I I don't know. I mean, you know, yes 16:09 and no. I think that I I'm thinking of this expression, when the student is 16:14 ready, the teacher will appear. And that's clearly the case with your 16:18 husband. Um, and I had a similar situation with a family member who has 16:25 been eating a certain way all her for years. and has been even just you can 16:32 look at her and see there's some metabolic imbalance and and she's 16:38 thought that she was very healthy similar to what I was doing before I 16:42 switched over to a meat-based high ketogenic highfat diet 16:47 and I I was mentioned something about it a few months ago when I was talking to 16:52 her and no interest nope no can't do that don't do that and then she called 16:58 me last week and started asking me about it. And it was it it's one of those 17:04 things where of course I I had so much grace 17:11 because you know when somebody is ready to make a change and I think this is an 17:15 object lesson for anybody for example people like you people like me who knew 17:21 that things were bad and that you couldn't trust the government and all 17:25 the big food and big pharma and all these agencies and but as people that 17:31 are coming to this awareness, the last thing we want to do is say, "Well, I 17:34 tried to tell you that um you know, 5 years ago." We don't want to do that. We 17:40 want to say, "Oh, tell me more." Um, and it's it's challenging to do that. But 17:46 going back to what you're saying about people not wanting to do the work, I I 17:50 think there there is a tendency to that. And I think what it comes down to is 17:55 that when when somebody has enough of a why, uh, then they're going to make that 18:02 change, make that leap. And unfortunately for some people, it does 18:07 come down to uh pain. If there's if there's the pain 18:13 of sickness, if there's the threat of uh losing a family member, losing a job, or 18:19 even the pain of having lost somebody, uh sometimes that's what it takes. And 18:25 hopefully hopefully we won't get to that point. Hopefully not everybody will. I 18:30 think watching what happened over the last four or five years 100% has had an 18:37 impact on people and hopefully helped them to avoid running off the road. Um 18:43 because they've watched so many other people do it and they've watched uh 18:47 trusted officials drive people into ditches uh in the name of helping them 18:53 and in the name of you know doing it for the good of everybody else. I I think 18:59 the hypocrisy and the disingenuous the disingenuous nature of 19:05 our trusted officials has become more glaringly obvious. That being said, um 19:12 look at 9/11, look at the Patriot Act, look at uh COVID, look at how people 19:20 responded when they were put in a position of fear. And that is that is 19:25 one of the biggest drivers of action and and is is a heightened state of anxiety 19:31 or fear or emotion. And that is where we have to take a step outside of what 19:41 we're seeing and protect our minds, control our emotions, and make rational 19:47 decisions. And in some cases it has to be it has to be very intentional. You 19:54 you almost have to be able to step outside of yourself and look at the 19:58 situation and say this is happening. This is what I know. This is what I 20:03 found out. And instead of going into paralysis, instead of going into that 20:11 shock state, which is somebody take care of me, somebody put me in the ambulance 20:18 and take me out of here. We have to get past that and do like a little biohack 20:25 in our brain and and realize like I am the person that has to take me out of 20:32 this situation. And that's that's a a really highlevel operation that takes 20:38 place. Um, and I I I have an example when my niece is 24 and she was she 20:44 lives in Boone, North Carolina, and she was in the hurricane. Her house was 20:50 surrounded by water. She sent us a video the night that the rain was coming down. 20:57 Uh, we immediately got on the phone with her, her mom, me, everybody saying, "You 21:03 need to pack a bag. You need a life jacket." Um, and you need to be ready to 21:09 evacuate. This is really serious. And they they they didn't they didn't have 21:16 to evacuate. It was a miracle that they didn't because the next morning when 21:21 they went out, she was with her roommate. Uh, they went out and they saw 21:27 the the utter devastation around them. houses gone, 21:33 roads looking like meteors had hit them, uh, insane levels of devastation. And 21:41 she looked at her roommate and they they had no phone, no water, no electricity, 21:47 nothing. And she looked at him and said, "Nobody's coming for 21:52 us. We got to figure this out." And I was really proud of her, you know, 23 21:59 years old at the time. Yeah. But I I think it's it's it's a really good 22:04 illustration. Um because yes, there are emergency crews out there somewhere. 22:10 Yes, there is government. But that whole situation in North Carolina is a 22:16 microcosm of what we need to understand as human beings. We have God, we have 22:21 our faith, we have our faculties that God has given us, and we have good sense 22:28 if we're going to use it. Uh but in her case, I think it's a good it's a good 22:33 extreme example because had she sat there, had she gone into a state of 22:38 shock and sat there and waited for government to show up, they would have 22:43 starved. They would have died of thirst. And so they had to figure out what to 22:49 do. And and many people are in that uh situation. Right. Um many people are in 22:58 that situation. And so, you know, we um we have to be aware 23:05 of that. We because what we don't want is another Patriot Act. We don't want a 23:12 nutritional Patriot Act. We don't want more regulation. We don't want to give 23:16 up more of our freedoms because now we know about fluoride. We we want less 23:23 regulation rather than more. And it's a little hard to square with what Trump is 23:31 doing right now with all of the executive orders because it looks like 23:35 he's doing the opposite. However, I think 23:40 that we have to be careful about uh judging that as the standard because 23:48 he's encountering a situation where the patient is bleeding out and he has to 23:54 stop the bleeding. That's that's what he's doing. So, it is extreme, but I 23:59 don't think a lot it's not all forever. And that's that's an important 24:03 distinction. But for individuals, um, we have to avoid the temptation of 24:10 saying we want that executive order having to do with food, that executive 24:16 order having to do with healthcare. We don't necessarily want all of that 24:21 written into law, right? We want common sense, especially federal law. We want 24:27 solutions at the personal grassroots level. like I want to be able to choose 24:33 what kind of milk I buy. I want to be able to choose what kind of eggs I buy. 24:39 All of that. Um you want to have the ability to have chickens in eggs. I mean 24:46 the regulations that were put in place over food that he is over anything that 24:51 he is overturning were things that took away freedoms at 24:57 the level and put the choice at the federal government level and said this 25:02 is what we say you choose. So that's dictatorship. That's not democracy, 25:06 right? And I think what I see him doing is saying these things are gone. Like we 25:11 got to put back to the people. You know, it's the same thing with Roie Wade, 25:15 right? People flipped out when Roie overturned. And I'm like, I can't 25:20 believe these people got so upset. I'm like, they just put it back to the state 25:24 level. You have power now to vote. If you want to kill babies, you can go vote 25:29 for it now at your state level. And that's what I yeah that's what I 25:34 want to say is I want people to understand the difference that that he's 25:39 not ruling by edict he's actually reversing like he it looks we have to be 25:45 careful that we don't conflate the method with the outcome is is I think 25:51 what I wanted to say uh because if we it's it's a slippery slope and we 25:59 don't want we don't want to be a people who are governed by executive fiat. We 26:05 don't. So, we have to be very careful about that. As much as I'm applauding 26:09 the things that he's doing, again, stop the bleeding. I mean, he is in he's in a 26:15 major we're in a our country is in a a major like level one trauma with mass 26:23 potential mass casualties already casualties that have happened. And so he 26:29 really I mean he's you know he and his team if you're looking at a wartime 26:33 scenario they are at they are on the front lines pulling wounded and bleeding 26:40 uh to safety. That's what they're doing. And and so I would just caution people 26:47 from taking this phase of of President Trump's operation and thinking that it's 26:55 a long-term solution. It things have to change at the local state uh grassroots 27:03 level. Education, for example, that's a perfect example. He's not doing away 27:07 with the Department of Education because he hates education. He's actually doing 27:11 it because he loves education and values it and and he wants to kick that back 27:17 that responsibility back to the states and to the localities which is where it 27:22 always should have been and also shine a spotlight on the on the degradation that 27:29 has occurred whenever the federal government gets their hands into any 27:34 institution. Uh there there's so much waste, there's so much fraud, there's so 27:39 much abuse. During CO, children were forced to wear masks well beyond when 27:47 the rest of society stopped doing it. And a lot of people don't realize that 27:52 it that that it is directly tied to federal government money that was given 27:58 that was granted to the schools. the federal government, the HHS had uh had 28:05 the schools handcuffed to doing whatever they said to do around COVID for fear of 28:12 losing that money. The HHS would have clawed back that money that the schools 28:17 had already allocated had the kids not kept wearing masks. People I don't think 28:22 people realize that. Yeah. I mean, Pennsylvania, exactly what you're 28:27 saying. So we had an u you know a mandate of masking the January after the 28:33 entire world was amassed. That's when I went in and fought. And basically what 28:37 happened is they had to have a care plan in place when this all happened. And if 28:40 you established a care plan then you received the federal funding which you 28:45 had to abide by your care plan regardless of what the mandates were. 28:49 Yeah. Story short, the care plan in our state was like, "Oh, you had to wear a 28:52 mask all the time." Yeah. No, that wasn't happening. So that's where I went 28:56 and I'm like I mean we got pushed so hard at the state level in our school 29:01 that they tried to make a child saying no to wearing a mask a 504 disability 29:08 which isn't in the violation of the Civil Rights Act. So I was like if you 29:12 don't want a civil case y'all are going to step down. You're going to back up 29:16 because Interesting. Yeah. They tried to make it they tried to make an opt out 29:22 form a medical issue. a disability. So, it's it's it would be like me saying, "I 29:29 have allergies to pollen, so therefore I don't want to sit next to the window in 29:33 the classroom." And the teacher would be like, "Oh, okay. Move over here." There 29:36 was no special accommodations made that I to another classroom. I didn't have a 29:43 disability. But what they tried to do when I said my kid's not wearing a mask, 29:48 they actually had the um special education director call all the people 29:55 and push it to a 504. This happened. I was like, "No, no, no, no, no." So that 30:00 was how far they tried to take it because they didn't want to lose their 30:03 funding. And I they would actually they would have gotten more funding if it had 30:07 been a 504. It was so ridiculous at the time. I look 30:11 back now and I'm like, every person that was involved in that at our school level 30:16 locally should be ashamed of theirelves. You should be embarrassed to show your 30:20 face because how silly the government made them look. And they just bowed down 30:26 to it. Every single one. And I I mean I I am I live in this town. I honestly 30:33 don't care what people think of me. I mean, I think that's true all the way 30:37 around the the world, but in my own I was and I mean, my kids lost friends 30:44 because parents wouldn't let my kids be with their kids because they were so 30:48 upset that I was taking such a stance. I'm like, you don't realize what you're 30:53 giving up by doing this. You have no idea what this is going to do to our 30:58 community, to our children, to our society, to our state if you bow down. 31:05 And yesterday I was at a basketball game and I walked into the school and I'm 31:10 like, I've been here before. And I was like, oh, this is the school where I 31:12 almost got arrested when I came in. They called the police on me because I didn't 31:17 wear a mask into the meeting. And I'm like, what are you arresting me for? 31:20 There is no mandate in the United States for masking. It's only in this state and 31:27 it's not even a mandate, which a mandate is not even a legal term. It was made 31:32 down this rabbit hole. I'm sorry to digress. No, no, no, no. I I had that 31:36 same thing. I had that all the time. And you you tell people, first of all, this 31:41 was this was never voted on. There was no law passed. When people would say, 31:45 "Oh, it's the law." No, it's not. There there there is no law. There is no law. 31:50 Let me do you understand how laws get passed? This is not it. That's the 31:54 problem. And and they look at you and they're just they're just doing their 31:59 job. And this is the key that I think and this is the attitude. Let's let's 32:04 let's bring this wagon back around to the original attitude, which is I just 32:10 want somebody else to do it. And this is a this is a dangerous attitude. I you 32:16 know we think about we think about our revolutionary ancestors. We think about 32:21 the settlers who came to this country and and broke new ground in in the west. 32:27 And you know if they had had that attitude we wouldn't have a country 32:32 literally if they sat back and said this is somebody else's job. Let somebody 32:37 else do this. Uh because it was life or death. And I think that we need a little 32:43 bit more of an understanding of that as a as a young nation that's about to turn 32:49 250 years old. That's a young nation. And if we're going to survive, I think 32:54 that people have to get a little bit more of a taste of what it means to keep 33:00 a nation alive. And it doesn't involve sitting back and outsourcing your common 33:07 sense and your medical decisions. That is the worst thing you can do. The other 33:13 thing, the other part of that is outsourcing your medical decisions to 33:18 what an insurance company says they'll pay for. That is one of that's one of 33:22 the stupid I'm just going to go out there. It's one of the stupidest 33:26 decision making matrix matrices ever. It's a decision made on fear. To your 33:32 point, ask a person why they have a health insurance. You know what they'll 33:36 say? Just in case. I did an entire podcast on health insurance. Do you know 33:42 the top six reasons that people choose health insurance are the least amount of 33:48 claims on a health insurance policy? The top six. So if I say, well, just in case 33:53 I get into a car crash, the the the likelihood of you needing health 33:58 insurance from a car crash is so small. It's not even on the top. It's like it's 34:04 like at the bottom percent of why people would put a claim on health insurance. 34:08 You know what they claim for? Mental health number one. Gastric health number 34:13 two. Like people that have too much stress because we're overworked. Because 34:18 we don't have enough nutrition for our brain because we eat we drink fluoride 34:22 in our water and we poison our neuroplasticity of our brain because 34:27 we're self-killing ourselves and self-poisoning. So we need these things. 34:32 Why are we on gastromeds? Cuz we don't eat the right food. We eat processed. We 34:36 eat fast food. We eat red dyes, you know. And it's I don't want to lose 34:41 choice either. But the issue that has come upon us is in our 34:49 society, we like easy and convenient. And if it's not those two things, people 34:55 don't want to do it. And people don't like to suffer. I mean, nobody likes to 35:00 suffer, but so much so that we have a drug to repress every single thing you 35:07 might suffer with. Oh, I got I got heartburn. Here's a pill. It'll take 35:10 care of it. Oh, I have a headache. Pill, take care of it. Instead like, why do I 35:16 have a headache? Could it be the fact that I'm dehydrated? Maybe I'm 35:20 magnesium. Like, let's not tap into the physical discernment of our body that 35:24 God gave us. Let's repress it and keep doing the same thing that we've always 35:29 done so that we can get sicker and sicker and sicker so that we can 35:32 actually use that wor disease management policy that we all have. I don't have 35:38 health insurance. Never had it. Don't want it. Will never pay for a system 35:42 that waits for me to get sick so they can ride on the amount of money I paid 35:47 in and everybody else's to repress my symptoms or cut out organs, which is 35:51 their only solution that they have. never to guarantee me that I'll be any 35:55 healthier. It's a racket. It is such a racket. It's one of the worst things we 36:00 ever did. I mean, the Department of Education was established in 36:05 1979. What did we do all the years before? You know, we're kids were 36:10 smarter then. They knew everything. They they learned every subject. They knew 36:13 Latin. They they knew how to They knew how to write. They um you know, how to 36:18 write an essay, right? Um you know, how how to do mental math, how all of it. It 36:24 was all there. And you know, it's it's and they knew how to think. I mean, 36:29 people could think critically. And that is just that that's a 36:33 really it's it's hard to see the way people are now. Um, you know, we saw 36:39 this when when my dad was in the hospital back in September and October. 36:44 Uh, when he had uh uh his when he had the stroke, he was getting high blood 36:52 pressures and it was we had this constant back and 36:58 forth with the doctors with these highly quote educated people. They they just 37:03 wanted to medicate him every single time they come in, his his pressure is high. 37:06 let's give him this. And then we had to we had to tell them we had to talk them 37:11 off the ledge every time and say, "Okay, well, how about we get him lying down, 37:17 get his feet elevated. Uh, let's make sure he's hydrated." Like, we had to we 37:21 had to go through the checklist with him every time. Let's review. Even though 37:25 like they're the professional, we're not. We have to review with them. These 37:30 are the things that tend to spike his blood blood pressure. How about we do 37:34 some things to mitigate that and get it down and then make a decision about, you 37:39 know, let's wait 15 minutes, let's check in 20 minutes, a half an hour, come 37:44 back. And it was it was constant. The same thing when he would get anxiety, 37:49 they they just wanted to medicate him constantly. And then one day when he was 37:55 at the fac at the uh rehab facility, his blood sugar very soon after a meal was 38:03 200 and something. And I won't even get into what they were feeding him, but 38:09 they called my nephew was there and I got a call and they said his blood sugar 38:13 is uh like 2011 or something and we have to give insulin when it gets to a 38:20 certain point. And I said, "You're not giving him insulin." when did he last 38:24 eat? And they said, "Oh, he ate like, you know, 30 minutes ago." I said, 38:28 "Well, what do you expect? Why why would you not expect a type somebody with type 38:33 2 diabetes to have a sugar of at that rate, especially given what you're 38:38 feeding him? That that's just normal. Um, he's not active. Uh, he's probably 38:45 not hydrated enough. And so, I need you to wait at least an hour." And first of 38:51 all, he doesn't even take insulin. Like I had to tell them all that. And I had 38:56 to tell I had to tell the nurse, "No, you're not giving him insulin. He is not 39:00 an insulin dependent diabetic. He's never had 39:04 insulin." Crazy. And so, yeah. So going back to you know just the the critical 39:11 critical thinking that's my point is I am constantly in a state in a place of 39:19 walking people through the exercise of critical thinking uh people who have 39:25 advanced degrees who are more trained than I am in the specialty that we're 39:31 supposed to be relying on them for. I'm the one that's walking them through the 39:36 process of critical thinking. And it's just, you know, my sister had a 39:41 situation like that, too, where all the machines were going off and in in in my 39:46 dad's room during the night and she was standing there uh, you know, trying to 39:50 get him calmed down and everything. 30 minutes into it, the nurse walks in and, 39:56 you know, she let him have it. She said, "Well, it's about time you got here." 40:01 And he said, "I'm busy." and she said, "You have two other patients." And she 40:05 said, "By the time you hear these machines, it's too late. You should be 40:08 checking on him because a machine is a lagging 40:11 indicator." And it just like that was our life the whole time he was in the 40:17 hospital. And um but but it's it it's it's indicative of where we are as a 40:25 society. And let's go back to where we started this conversation, which is 40:31 people have to take personal responsibility. People have to think 40:36 critically. They have to work out for themselves a and and use wisdom. The 40:43 Bible says if anyone lacks wisdom, ask for it and and God will freely give it 40:48 to you. That's right in the book of James. So all we have to do is ask. But 40:54 the worst thing we can do is to put our complete and total faith in a system or 41:01 a person whether it's Donald Trump or Elon Musk or whatever flavor of 41:06 politician you think is going to save you and your family. Uh that's your 41:11 first mistake. And we have to learn, we have to get, we have to go back to a 41:18 mentality that our founders had, which was, I'm here. I have the God-given 41:26 abilities that got me here, and I'm going to apply them day in and day out, 41:31 not only for my survival and for thriving, but for the survival of the 41:36 generations to come after me. And that's that's really how God wants us to think. 41:41 He wants us to think generationally. And that that's another issue. People are 41:46 selfish. They're very self-centered. All that matters is them. What they want, 41:51 what their immediate comfort is, what their immediate need is. And this may be 41:56 a little um a little aside that may hurt some people's feelings, but I think a 42:02 big indicator of that attitude is the number of fake service dogs that we see 42:07 nowadays in the store. Um, I mean, people want to bring their dog with them 42:13 and they've come up with a way to fake it so that they can pretend that they 42:20 have a service dog. Like somebody's some lady's dog jumped up on my leg today in 42:25 a store and it had a little service dog vest on, like an Amazon service dog 42:30 vest. And I'm just thinking, you know, I if you want to bring your dog, fine. But 42:37 don't be so selfish that you have to pretend and lie to everybody that it's a 42:43 service dog. It's not. It's a pet. It's a companion. And that's okay. But to me, 42:49 it's very selfish. it it's indicative of the attitude that people have today 42:54 which is everybody has to cater to me because of whatever madeup thing I have. 43:01 Um and that's a small it may seem like a small one but again it's like 43:05 everybody's doing it and all the Yeah. And it's not even I mean I I see it all 43:11 the time. I'm a dog lover. I'm a huge dog. I have three dogs. Yeah. We we love 43:15 dogs. I love her. And just to make sure everybody knows that you and I are both 43:19 Trump fans. We love Trump. We think what he's doing is awesome. I don't want this 43:25 to come off like we don't I mean, my goodness, my my son gave out little 43:29 Trump Valentine's ducks to all of his Valentine's in school. That's what he 43:33 got. That's what he wanted. That's what he wanted. He asked He's like, "I want 43:37 Trump ducks for Valentine's Day to give out at the Valentine's party." And I was 43:40 like, "Love you so much." I was like, "I hope you don't get expelled, but here 43:44 you go." So, we ordered those. Um, but I mean I even with that said, I agree with 43:49 you. I personally love watching what Trump's doing right now. Love it. Love 43:54 it. Don't want or need him to do it forever for me. But you're right. You 43:58 put it better than anyone I've heard. You got to stop the bleeding. And then 44:02 once you stop stop the bleeding, which is the catastrophic, right? It's the 44:06 alopathic stop the bleeding, patch it up. You don't just send that person off 44:10 and be like, "Good luck to you. I hope those wounds heal." No. There is a care 44:15 plan put in place. So, everyone needs to be thinking about, all right, Trump 44:19 stopped the bleeding, everyone's stopping the bleeding. What is our care 44:22 plan that we put in place now at home now that there's these things on the the 44:29 movie theater screen that everybody knows and more to come. Now that I am 44:34 aware, although it's going to be hard, although it's going to be different, 44:38 although I' 44:44 I've long-term success for our country, for our children, for our own personal 44:51 health. How do we start at the home level with the changes that we want to 44:56 make spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically without saying, "Oh, 45:01 government, I need you to make a law." So, it's illegal for this because 45:06 anytime Congress makes a law, we lose a freedom. It doesn't matter which side 45:10 it's on. When there is a regulation put in place, there's a freedom taken. And 45:17 that's my personal belief of like we don't need the government putting their 45:23 hand into our living room. I don't care what you what side you're on. I had my 45:28 son in a school one time. It was a Christian school and the teacher took it 45:33 upon herself to say to the whole classroom in not so many words, "If your 45:40 parents are telling you that Santa Claus is real, they're lying to you. and I 45:44 won't lie to you. Now, it was a Christian school and I understand that 45:48 they wanted the children's eyes on Jesus as it should be, but I called them up 45:53 and I said, "I don't care who you are. Don't you ever cross my living room 46:00 ever." Like, don't ever do that. You don't have the right to do that. Or have 46:05 a say on how I raise my children. And I will correct it with the Holy Spirit. 46:11 Not you. You're not my Holy Spirit. like I don't care who it is. So I I really 46:16 think parents need to get tough in that area of don't violate my rights in so 46:21 many ways, but we got to toughen up as a society. You know, we do. We do. We also 46:27 have to remember this. This is I I taught kindergarten and one of my rules 46:33 of thumb when I was out sourcing things for the classroom, toys, puzzles, things 46:40 like games, uh I always went to the least 46:45 common the the I I always had to picture the child who was most likely to destroy 46:51 it whether they meant to or not. So I had to there was always a litmus test. 46:57 It if so and so touches this will it break? Yes. Not buying it. And it was it 47:04 was partly you know because you don't want that child to feel bad. But also I 47:08 mean you you have to apply that. And how does that apply to what we're talking 47:12 about right now? It has to do with the fact that there is always going to be 47:18 regardless of how good you think a law or regulation is. There's always going 47:23 to be somebody that messes it up. There's going to be that HOA president 47:28 that has a that has no ability to think critically or logically that is on such 47:34 a power trip that there there's no gray area. There's no wiggle room. They will 47:41 they will just go on a search and destroy mission when they're given a 47:45 little tiny bit of power. And when it comes to passing laws or regulations, I 47:51 would encourage everybody always to picture that HOA president in with with 47:58 that law in their hands and how would that person interpret it? How will that 48:04 person manage that power? Because when you pass a law or a regulation, you you 48:11 are always opening yourself up to the eventuality of that person being in a 48:17 position of interpreting and applying that law. And it's funny when we talk 48:23 about an HOA president, but now let's bring it down to uh what your kids have 48:29 to put on their face, uh what they might be asking them to put in their bodies, 48:35 etc., etc. When you have a person who thinks like that in charge of 48:40 interpreting a rule, where there is no wiggle room, where they have a a p a 48:46 tendency or a penchant toward control and ruling with an iron fist and overall 48:53 destruction, and then you bring an ideological viewpoint in. If they don't 48:59 agree with your politics, if they don't agree with the bumper stickers on your 49:04 car, that is a recipe for disaster. And that is that to me is a good rule of 49:10 thumb when you're thinking about legislation, when you're proposing a 49:16 rule or a law. Just always think what is the worst case scenario in the hands of 49:22 the wrong person because it seems right now but what happens if that HOA 49:28 president gets a hold of it and anybody that's ever dealt with an HOA knows what 49:32 I'm talking about. I mean we're talking tyranny at a level that you that that 49:36 makes Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff look like Mr. Rogers. But then there's the 49:44 level that for the convenience, for whatever reason, people are willing to 49:50 sign into that HOA. They're willing they in there and 49:55 they're like, you know what, I will sacrifice these freedoms because I want 49:59 this. We have to stop doing that. Yeah. So, in 50:06 our time that we have left, we have a few minutes. Can you give us your words 50:10 of wisdom over some things that we should be doing? Looking at maybe like a 50:15 one, two, three, or even just high level, please. 50:21 Yeah, I I would be I would be in prayer. Um because we we're in a we're in a 50:29 place as a nation. Um maybe you're not American. Maybe you're listening to this 50:35 and you're thinking, "Well, not us." But stay with me. Uh, America is in a place 50:40 as a nation, we are in a watershed moment where, especially if you're a 50:46 Christian, you have an opportunity to see this through on a generational level 50:54 and to to take part in a transformation that is not only going to 51:02 help you walk into your destiny, but will help your children and their 51:07 children and their children after them. And one of the most important keys to 51:13 that is is your own health. Uh if you've been putting off getting healthy, if 51:19 you're thinking again, let's wait until RFK fixes things. No, that that's that 51:25 that's at such a macro scale that it may never trickle down to you. Some of the 51:30 things he's doing may never actually even have an impact on you for a few 51:35 years. So I would say apply the uh break glass in case of emergency scenario to 51:43 your own life and look at the attitude that Trump has. He is working as though 51:49 every day is his last term uh his last day in office. And so for you yourself, 51:57 what is it that you know you need to do and how can you apply that mentality? 52:04 Today is my last day in office. What am I going to do today to get my house in 52:10 order uh so that I can be everything that God chose me to be on this planet 52:16 in this time for this generation? And what impact is it going to have for the 52:21 generations after me? That's that's what I would do. I would mirror his his uh 52:28 attitude and his actions right now, meaning President Trump and his team. I 52:33 don't think he's sleeping in the white in the um Oval Office, but I I'm pretty 52:37 sure Elon is like sleeping on a couch right next door. Um because of the 52:42 urgency. It's it's there's an urgency right now. We're in a season of grace, I 52:48 think, where God is is allowing our intentions and our actions to manifest 52:55 and magnify. And so, don't don't sleep on 52:58 this. Don't wait until next year to get your house in order. That would be my 53:05 exhortation. I didn't give you a one, two, three, but I think that I think 53:10 that it it really is an exhortation. Pay attention to what God has given you and 53:16 take the take the reigns of your own life and and and take that 53:21 responsibility and do it one at a time. Don't get 53:25 overwhelmed. You don't have to change everything. You know, I always tell 53:28 people You didn't get sick overnight and you don't get healthy overnight. It's a 53:33 process. Um, of the, you know, people have health goals and I always try to 53:39 break that right off at the beginning. Your, your health goals are always going 53:42 to change. My health goals when I was 20 are so much different now that I'm 50, 53:46 right? But you are a you are a consequence or a product of your habits. 53:55 So it is the habits that we uh embrace every single day that result in the life 54:03 and the health in the mental capacity in your walk with the Lord. That's what 54:09 determines it. Not a goal. I can have a goal of reading my Bible every day but 54:13 if I don't have a habit of doing it, I'm going to fail every day. I have to like 54:18 make the habit. So, you know, create habits of instead of saying our goal is 54:24 to clean out our pantry of every processed food, have a habit of having a 54:30 fresh organic salad with each meal rather than, you know, trying to 54:35 establish this goal of overturning everything. Sometimes goals can be 54:39 overwhelming, but habits can be sustained. And that's what you're 54:43 talking about generations, right? I always go back to the scripture, train 54:47 up your children in the ways of the Lord, so when they are older, they do 54:50 not depart from it. I think that has to do with everything. You know, your kids 54:57 are the expression of your best and worst qualities and they're thection of 55:02 your best and worst qualities, usually public. So, you know, yeah, what you 55:08 say, um, all of a sudden things come out of their mouth and you're like, that is 55:13 so me. I'm so sorry about that. Yeah. 55:19 So, as you said, start with your house. I always say start right at your own 55:23 table, you know, and and tell your kids, we're going to start right here and show 55:27 them. And it doesn't have to be it can just be one thing at a time. Like when 55:31 my kids leave our home, they will leave knowing they were loved. That sometimes 55:36 mom wasn't always the best housekeeper. But we loved animals. We gave freely. We 55:42 always invited people in. We grew our own food. We raised our own food. We 55:47 tried to do the absolute best they we could. And every once in a while, they 55:51 were allowed to have some crappy food that made mom's head spin. Like that's 55:55 that's what they'll take out of it. And I those habits and that grace will carry 56:02 on for generations. You know, if raised differently, that's what would carry on. 56:07 And that's what we're seeing. We're seeing our generation, right, Mary 56:11 Grace? The fast food and diet coke generation. We're seeing the fruit of 56:16 that. Wow, we got a microwave. Wow, we got fast food. Wow, we got aspartame. 56:21 The fat free. Yeah, the fat free snack oils were delicious, but they weren't 56:25 healthy. So yeah, you know, now we have to produce new fruit and that's a good 56:32 way. Yeah. The generations down from us. And I think for for us 56:38 personally, you and I, uh, we may have the the wisdom, but we got to make sure 56:43 it carries on. And moms talking to daughters and daughters calling moms 56:48 rather than the pediatrician when little Jimmy has a fever. Like, let's get back 56:52 to that. Yeah, that's a good one. Exactly. Yeah. 56:57 And and just having a network whether it's the mom or the auntie or the friend 57:04 like you know I've called you before like ah I don't know what to do. 57:08 Um Christ. That's what's supposed to happen. Yeah. Yeah. It's so important 57:13 and I I read a lot of historic fiction and you you see just how intertwined and 57:21 interdependent people were in community. Uh because there was no mass 57:27 communication. I mean like if you didn't talk to your neighbor, you didn't talk 57:31 to anybody um or your family, right? There was 57:36 there was that that was it. And but it was 57:41 so valuable. Love it or love it or hate it, that's what you had, you know. Um, 57:47 so I I think there is we're we're in such a good we're in 57:53 such a good place as a country. We're we're we have so much potential 57:59 and I want to be here for it. I I want to be here. Like I was thinking about 58:04 Baron Trump. Love that kid. He's going to be president one day. And I was 58:09 thinking, you know, I'd like to be alive for that. I want to see that. I want to 58:13 see him walk into the White House. Yeah. And it's that's going to be another 20 58:18 years. So I'll be 60 next month. And um that's possible. It's possible that I 58:23 could see him become president. Yeah. Um if it'll be 20 years, but I hope we make 58:30 it right, you and I. And we're gonna we're going to be sitting on the porch 58:34 swing together saying remember when we talked about this on a podcast and then 58:38 we're going to eat a donut just because we can. 58:41 And it's going to be not made from glyphosate laden wheat at that time. 58:45 Yeah, it's gonna be fried in tallow, so we'll be fine. Fried in tallow with pure 58:50 organic sugar. Like, you know, so Oh gosh. Yeah, I see it. It's going to be 58:56 so good. It's going to be so good. And our animals are going to live longer 59:00 because they're not going to be poisoned with glyphosate and vaccines. Yeah. So, 59:05 I'm I I'm hopeful. I'm very hopeful for the future. And and we're we have more 59:11 We have people like you. We have practitioners who are committed and who 59:16 are finally getting their day. Um, which is which is fantastic that that our 59:24 functional medicine and naturopathic uh healers are are getting recognized 59:31 and um and being given a platform. It's it's amazing. It's really really neat 59:38 and it's going to be amazing for the people who are open to receive it 59:41 because it's a whole new world of not having to suffer but not being 59:48 repressed. It's just freedom. Well, and having a doctor who prays absolutely and 59:54 and and doesn't worship at the altar of science. That's that's big. It's a big 59:59 deal. It is. So, yeah. Yeah.
