I was behind the
0:03
scenes. I was working as a
0:05
producer on the CBS Talks to the
0:07
Doctors before I got involved with the
0:09
documentary, Vaxed. And then the success of
0:11
that ended up throwing me into
0:13
the limelight, where I was in front of
0:15
the cameras really for the first time, at
0:18
least since I was a kid and doing some acting
0:20
as a kid. And then one
0:22
day someone, you know, I was
0:25
on someone else's podcast in Hollywood
0:28
and the owner of the podcast studio walked up to
0:30
me and said, you know what, you should do
0:32
your own podcast, Del. I think it'd be great.
0:34
He literally didn't let me out. I was like,
0:36
oh, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Tony, you
0:38
know, thank you for that recommendation. But
0:40
he said, no, no, I want you to grab a slot.
0:42
I'm going to make it really affordable for you. I'll handle
0:44
most of the cost. You should try
0:46
this out. The Highwater is born that week.
0:48
I pointed at Thursday at 11 o'clock and
0:52
the rest, as they say, is history. It's
0:54
wild the things that throw us in the
0:56
limelight and change our lives
0:59
forever. Usually when I talk
1:01
to people, those life changing moments
1:03
happen because suddenly you just
1:05
state I've had enough and
1:08
I'm going to tell the truth. I'm going to
1:10
tell the truth as I see it. I'm done
1:12
playing games. And though some doors do get closed,
1:15
even bigger ones open up. That's
1:17
the story of Shannon Joy. What
1:19
threw her into the limelight was
1:22
just a little incident at a
1:24
school born hearing that a lot of
1:26
people in the news want to talk about. Take a look at this. A
1:29
local radio host is speaking out about
1:31
an alleged incident. Let's get to issue
1:34
two arrested for telling the
1:36
truth. Governor DeSantis, I was arrested
1:38
at a school board meeting for my mask
1:40
slipping beneath my nose. You show up at
1:42
the meeting and you're there doing your part
1:44
as a mom listening. And
1:46
let's just show we're going to show the
1:48
first video where someone's irritated that the
1:51
mask is not that
1:54
they can see nostril. I guess I
1:56
don't watch watch and listen. Why?
2:02
Because when you
2:04
go to the office, you think, hey, Mary, we
2:06
have places to be, Mary, okay, and other things
2:08
to do. You can't just stop meeting. Can
2:11
I get a second for that question? This
2:14
is unbelievable. This is
2:17
not leadership. You asked us
2:19
to be respectful of you,
2:21
and you can't respect the taxpayers and citizens. Mary,
2:26
can you give us a email? Mary's
2:29
getting the right emails. This
2:32
is silly. You
2:36
could have prevented it by being a grown-up man.
2:38
I've got my mask on. It's 95 degrees out.
2:43
When they called the recess, I
2:45
got this sinking feeling that they
2:48
were going to arrest. They wanted to
2:50
make an example out of me so that
2:52
other parents would never stand up and speak
2:54
out. On that day,
2:56
I was arrested, and I was
2:58
charged with trespass. Today, we are
3:01
going into court, and I will
3:03
either be arraigned. If
3:06
so, I will be not guilty,
3:09
or the case will be thrown
3:11
out. And I think either way, coming out of
3:13
this courtroom will be a win, because
3:16
we will continue to fight
3:18
for the voices of parents. Hi,
3:21
Miss John. It's
3:23
so much the DA's office. Thank you.
3:27
This is from Miss Charis, who's from the
3:29
Free Speech. This has been happening
3:31
all over the country, and I hope that
3:33
this serves as a signal who
3:36
seeks to bully parents in the future and suppress
3:39
their right to free speech on behalf of their
3:41
children. Thanks, Arcon. Thank
3:44
you so much. Obviously,
3:48
one of our favorite things to do on
3:50
the highway is celebrate those people that step
3:52
up into truth standing for medical freedom,
3:54
no matter what. It's my honor and pleasure
3:57
to be joined right now by podcast. sensation
4:00
Shannon Joy. Thank you so
4:02
much, Dal. I'm so glad to be here. It's really
4:04
good to have you here and I remember when
4:07
all this was breaking in the news but just
4:09
to sort of give me a recap what was
4:11
the I mean there was a lot of school
4:13
board hearings that have happened but what was this
4:16
one specifically about? Well
4:18
we had been advocating and activating in
4:20
New York for 12 months. As you
4:24
know New York was one of the worst
4:26
lockdown states in the world and
4:29
so it was a major effort
4:31
an enormous amount of community organization
4:33
and work to get the
4:36
schools open even part-time and
4:39
so when we got them open part-time it
4:41
was another heavy lift to get
4:43
them open five days full day and
4:46
so that took the building of organizations
4:48
across Monroe County which is the county
4:50
that I lived in and
4:52
in my own local school district so we
4:54
had built email lists of over a thousand
4:56
parents we were bringing 50 to
4:59
100 parents to school board meetings
5:01
every week and the last
5:03
step was to get those masks
5:06
off the children's faces. So you
5:08
had them in school at this point. Obviously
5:11
everyone's on a first-name basis. Mary,
5:13
come on! We all know each
5:16
other. And that's what's so weird
5:18
about these is that it's actually
5:20
just another parent right? It's got
5:23
on the school board and they're just asserting
5:25
this authority. I know you just watched our
5:27
previous segments you know in Scotland but
5:29
it's really not that much better here if
5:32
you can sit in a school board meeting
5:34
talk about masks and then
5:36
some parent can just say call
5:38
the police I want them arrested. We actually have the footage
5:41
that you shot while you're being arrested. Take a look
5:43
at this. We
5:45
all came here to hear public comment.
5:48
The school board staffed the meeting. They
5:50
limited it to ten individuals and they
5:52
stacked it with pro-mask individuals so they
5:55
kicked out all of us who were
5:57
anti-mask and here come the cops. And
6:00
so I'm just going to ask, hi, hi,
6:02
how are you? My name is
6:05
Shannon. Nice to meet you. Thank you for coming on. I know
6:07
you don't want to be here today. So
6:09
there are about 20, um, pro masters here
6:11
who are applauding the cops here, who
6:13
are now going to, I suppose, arrest us
6:15
for. Okay.
6:19
So, so they have their hands on
6:21
me now. And
6:24
I guess this is the way it is now. I
6:26
can't believe this is happening. Guys,
6:29
these are the officers. Okay.
6:31
Um, Monroe County Sheriff. And
6:34
I can't believe this is happening. I really, there, oh,
6:36
no. There's a new trainer back on the phone. We'll
6:39
get it. My phone. I should be ashamed of
6:41
your phone. I can't. So
6:43
what is my crime? What is my crime? Unbelievable.
6:51
Unbelievable. There's
6:57
a lot about that. That's amazing. And I don't think,
6:59
uh, you know, I've done some reporting. It's actually hard
7:01
to sort of stand up and go in. I know
7:03
people think I do that all the time, but you
7:06
know, it's very rare that I would
7:09
sort of stand confront police certainly, but
7:11
you're, what I think makes that really
7:13
unique is you're surrounded by all of
7:15
these peers, people, you know, parents that
7:18
are applauding you being arrested as
7:21
you're being dragged out. I mean, it's those things that,
7:23
I mean, I'm sorry, I know we get in trouble
7:25
when we do it, but it just,
7:27
I reflect on Nazi Germany, right? I
7:29
reflect on being turned in by our
7:31
neighbors for what? For a product that
7:33
you and I knew then, no, now
7:35
all science backs us up. Doesn't
7:38
even do the job that it said to do.
7:40
This was just straight up a
7:42
compliance test. What did
7:44
it feel like in that moment though? Was it,
7:47
was there, what inspired
7:49
you? Did you go there thinking this was
7:51
going to happen? Like how do you prepare
7:54
to stand your ground in that moment
7:56
the way you did? It's interesting
7:58
you asked that question because. the
8:01
meeting before that, right? Like
8:04
where did I find that in
8:06
me to confront law
8:09
enforcement? The
8:11
meeting before that one, there
8:14
was a bus driver that spoke up
8:16
and we were bringing, as I mentioned
8:18
to you, 50 to 100 people to
8:20
every meeting. We were gaining a lot
8:22
of ground. It
8:25
was in the summer. The
8:27
school bus driver stood up and
8:29
spoke for about five minutes, weeping
8:32
to the school board and to
8:34
the entire community. And it was online as
8:36
well. And said, you know,
8:39
talked about a story of a young
8:41
five-year-old girl on a hot summer day
8:43
driving home on the bus and wearing
8:45
her mask. And this little girl was
8:47
not feeling well. And
8:51
it was hot. And she vomited
8:53
in her mask on the
8:55
bus. And the bus driver told her, you can
8:57
take your mask off. You can take your mask off.
9:00
And that little five-year-old girl was so terrified
9:02
to take her mask off
9:04
that she sat for 20 minutes on that
9:07
bus in a mask full of
9:09
vomit before she would take it off. And
9:11
that was the meeting before the meeting that I was
9:13
arrested at. We were that, I
9:15
mean, there was not a dry eye in
9:18
that room. The board knew that what they
9:20
were doing to the children was wrong. They
9:23
knew that it was harming children. And I
9:26
think that's why they laid that trap for
9:28
me at that time. That's why they didn't
9:30
want any more public comment. They wanted to
9:32
make a mockery of what
9:34
we were doing. And they wanted to teach other
9:36
parents that lesson. If you stand up and speak
9:38
out, this is what we're going to do to
9:40
you. And so when I
9:42
decided to FaceTime live my arrest, I was
9:44
taking back that power. I know they wanted
9:47
to tell that story. They had
9:49
news out there ready to go to
9:51
tell the story of my embarrassment and
9:53
being arrested and handcuffed. And
9:55
I decided in that moment, if this is
9:57
going to happen, I'm going to
9:59
take back this power for parents and I'm going to
10:01
tell the story in my way and that's why I
10:04
did the FaceTime Live. And,
10:08
but it was for the kids. It's always been for the kids.
10:11
My kids too. How many people were
10:13
in support? I mean somebody else obviously started finding
10:15
a camera and they took yours away. So how
10:17
many people were there sort of in that sort
10:19
of support group? So it was slightly
10:21
misleading because the camera that picked up
10:23
the applause was
10:26
right by a group of people who
10:28
were brought to that meeting for the
10:30
express purpose of hackling and
10:32
they had been regulars at the meetings before.
10:35
The majority of the room was
10:37
utterly silent and appalled. There were
10:39
some loud mouths that were brought
10:41
in, right, that were rabid
10:44
pro-maskers and pro-lockdowners and pro-vaxxers and we
10:46
know all of those people and that
10:49
you know that was their
10:51
role. And so unfortunately in the
10:53
video it sounds like the whole room was clapping
10:55
but it was not like that at all. In
10:57
fact, when people stood up after and comment, people
11:01
were very, very concerned about
11:03
what had happened and ultimately
11:06
as you can see I was
11:08
vindicated. Parents were vindicated. The
11:10
court case was thrown out and
11:15
you know it was one step in
11:17
the right direction but New York State is the belly
11:19
of the beast for a lot of these things. So
11:22
let's get into that a little bit because
11:24
I think one of the things people think,
11:26
well, you stood up, you
11:29
had that moment, it's sort of
11:31
launched you into probably a new
11:33
career that you hadn't seen coming,
11:35
lots of people tuning into your
11:37
perspective. But what's
11:40
it like? You still have children in school, right?
11:42
You still have to go back to school board
11:44
meetings. You're still standing
11:47
side by side with the people that had
11:49
you arrested, those that were clapping while you
11:51
were arrested. What
11:53
are those relationships like now? How do
11:56
you handle those people now when you're
11:59
arrested? run into them and
12:01
is anyone apologizing? So
12:04
I've never received an apology. The
12:07
judge did throw the case out,
12:09
so that was vindication. It's really
12:11
interesting. I mean, it goes to
12:14
show how evil and wrong the
12:17
COVID era lockdowns and policies
12:19
were and how it
12:21
divided families, it divided communities,
12:24
it divided friends. And
12:29
that's what happened in our community. The
12:31
stand that I was taking, let me tell
12:33
you, I raged against lockdowns from the very
12:35
beginning. I had a platform. I was on
12:37
AM talk radio at the time. So
12:39
I was well known in my community. And
12:43
everything about it, just my spirit
12:45
just raged against it because I
12:47
knew that this was wrong. And
12:52
what's so interesting is that my kids are
12:54
still in the same school district. They have
12:56
amazing teachers in the school district. I'll have
12:58
sentries come up to me or teachers when
13:00
I call into the school and administration, Shannon,
13:02
we've got your back. We're so thankful for
13:04
the things that you've done. The
13:07
administrators are bad. They
13:11
put these policies in place and they did
13:13
so recklessly when they didn't have to. But
13:17
I even see the superintendent at games
13:19
and I'm like, hey, Brad, how are
13:21
you? And
13:23
the kids are resilient. My kids were
13:25
in high school. They were mortified when
13:28
it happened. But
13:30
they have become resilient as
13:33
a result of this. And I
13:35
said to them the day after, I'm like, sorry, mom, we got arrested
13:37
at the school board. I'm
13:39
like, I promise one day you'll laugh at this. We'll
13:42
laugh about this. And today we laugh about it all the time.
13:45
So I want this, part
13:47
of me does this because I want other parents
13:50
to see you can stand up at
13:52
school board meetings. And yeah, there
13:54
are consequences. You might lose some friendships. You
13:57
might get some funny looks. You might even be arrested at a
13:59
school board meeting. meeting, but
14:01
you'll be OK. And if
14:03
parents did this and if
14:05
citizens in the US did this all
14:07
over the country, from the local level,
14:09
when bad things are happening, when our
14:11
federal government or the World Health Organization
14:13
or any big governing body comes in
14:15
and tries to do things that
14:18
our spirit rages against or our
14:20
Constitution, the founding of our country,
14:23
it is our job to stand up and
14:25
to speak out and to try to stop
14:27
that in our community. And if even 10%
14:30
of the communities did that, this country
14:32
would turn around. I fully believe that.
14:34
I totally agree with you. And I think that
14:36
I say a lot of times when I'm out speaking
14:38
live, people will come up, I'm praying for
14:41
you, thank you for your sacrifice, and as
14:43
though I'm on some sort of pedestal. And
14:45
I just say, will you please take me off the
14:47
pedestal and just realize I'm standing with you and I
14:50
need you to do the same thing? Everyone
14:52
needs to speak out. If you're just thinking, wow,
14:54
go get them, Del. What am I going to
14:56
do? What am I going to
14:58
do by myself? I said before, if I'm the only
15:01
one standing on this stage, then nothing is going to
15:03
change. We've got to start building
15:05
a body of humanity, especially
15:07
in this country, especially in the United
15:09
States of America that's founded on this
15:11
principle of being able to speak freely
15:15
and the ability to, I mean, look at
15:17
how attached our founding fathers were to those
15:19
things. You need to be able to say
15:21
whatever you think about the government. You need
15:24
to be all assembled and have those statements
15:26
and have those conversations with each other freely
15:28
without being shut down. You need to have
15:30
a press that can say whatever it wants,
15:32
whenever it wants, and distribute that
15:34
information wrong or right
15:36
to whoever wants to read it.
15:39
I mean, this is literally the
15:41
very first amendment of the United
15:43
States of America, really basic stuff.
15:46
And yet, I would say almost
15:48
every topic we've covered here today shows
15:51
that that very way of life
15:53
is completely under assault. Now, I
15:55
know because of this moment, you
15:58
had a background in. Media you
16:00
two have found the internet you've got
16:03
a show you're you know Interviewing
16:05
all sorts of experts and specialists
16:08
when you look at sort of the things that I was talking
16:10
about today when we look at We got we're on I
16:13
would think I mean we just reported that
16:15
we're about to you know Go ahead and
16:17
push NATO into Ukraine Which
16:19
has been known as the trigger for a potential
16:21
third war since like I was a kid third
16:23
world war We got that on
16:25
the precipice. We have this transgender issue That
16:28
is is happening schools. It looks like
16:31
that maybe shifting and some awareness coming
16:33
around this AI thing Pfizer courts censorship
16:36
the ability to you know to Break
16:40
down our door and arrest us of
16:42
those things. You know as a mother as a parent
16:44
is there one that sort of stands out as the
16:47
Probably most existential threat. I know
16:49
I was pretty heavy on AI.
16:51
I felt like yeah everything. I'm
16:53
doing what difference does medical freedom
16:56
make if Computers
16:59
are now the authorities of the world that
17:01
I live in but what do you think
17:03
stands out? I think AI
17:05
is obviously Concerning the threat
17:07
of World War three and nuclear
17:09
war is concerning the collapse of
17:12
our economy is concerning medical freedom
17:14
the idea that We
17:17
still haven't even had a reckoning Regarding
17:19
what happened in 2020 or 2021? It's
17:23
the ultimate gaslight that we're in
17:25
an election year and both major
17:27
political parties won't even touch it
17:30
Which is is you know? Insult
17:33
upon injury. Yeah, so
17:35
I think all right there. I mean that's
17:37
so fascinating because you're right We
17:39
haven't had a reckoning. No, we haven't had
17:41
a like come to Jesus moment Can we
17:44
all admit wrong or right what happened here?
17:46
We had we were told we needed to
17:48
lock down Now we were
17:50
told that the virus I mean the biggest one
17:52
to me the virus only had a death rate
17:55
of point three five percent Which puts it right
17:57
smack in it. You know a bad flu season
18:00
So can we all just at least
18:02
at the very least say this is
18:04
a massive overreaction? Yes. Yes, elderly took
18:06
that number in much higher numbers. And
18:09
maybe we could have handled that
18:11
better, but then your top liberals
18:13
in states across America like Cuomo
18:15
literally made it illegal to protect, you
18:18
know, retirement communities,
18:20
where he forced people that were
18:22
sick to be allowed into those
18:24
communities. So that didn't like it.
18:27
Where is this reckoning and how are we going to
18:30
reunite our communities under these circumstances?
18:33
Well, I think, you know, what
18:35
I'm really advocating for my audience,
18:37
my mission over the next seven
18:39
months, I see the medical freedom
18:41
community so that you are a
18:43
part of, right? Brownstone Institute and
18:45
Children's Health Defense and ICANN and
18:47
all of these people who saw
18:49
COVID for what it was early
18:51
and stood up against it. This
18:55
is a large community. It's a
18:57
very diverse community, Republican, Democrat, old,
19:00
young, every socioeconomic
19:02
genre you can imagine. And
19:05
political years always have a
19:08
way of absolutely obliterating liberty
19:10
movements. It's not just in the
19:12
US as well. In Canada, the
19:14
Netherlands, in Japan, they just had
19:16
150,000 people turn
19:19
out in opposition to the
19:21
World Health Organization amendments that are going to
19:23
be voted on in May. You
19:26
have rolling protests throughout Europe
19:28
and the Netherlands. And
19:30
so there is enough
19:32
of humanity awake right now, but
19:34
we have to push through this
19:36
election season here in the US
19:38
and not allow ourselves to be
19:40
distracted by the circus sideshow
19:43
that is going to happen. And I tell my audience,
19:46
listen, on November 5th, vote
19:48
for who you vote, your conscience. But
19:50
within the medical freedom community, we have
19:52
to keep the movement alive, regardless
19:55
of what happens in
19:57
November, because it's the bottom up. organization,
20:00
it's the grassroots organization and the
20:02
local organization that I think will
20:05
be the contributing factor to changing
20:07
things. But the politics always follows
20:09
the culture. And
20:11
we are right at the
20:14
precipice of the next new
20:16
cultural, I think, revolution. And
20:19
I hope that it's for liberty, but we're
20:21
fighting it right now. We're fighting that battle
20:23
right now. And so my mission is to
20:26
keep this medical freedom community together as
20:28
much as I can, or as
20:31
much as we can, and then grow
20:34
it. Because the medical freedom
20:36
movement is the liberty movement worldwide,
20:39
globally. It's the difference between being
20:41
slaves in the 21st century and
20:44
we can talk about all the things
20:46
that you just mentioned, right? The AI,
20:48
the transhumanism, the transgenderism, global
20:51
war, the erasure of our
20:53
borders, our language and our culture, the
20:56
erasure of national sovereignty, individual
20:58
sovereignty. All of that is on the
21:01
table right now. And so
21:04
we need to understand that the power is from the
21:06
bottom up. People can exercise their
21:08
power in their own communities and
21:10
still vote because voting is important. You put
21:12
that in a way that
21:14
I hadn't really thought about, because I
21:16
hadn't thought about how you would think
21:19
politics or a political
21:21
year would be good for
21:23
movements. But you're right, it really, in many
21:25
ways, tends to destroy a movement. And I
21:28
suppose thinking out loud, part of
21:30
that is we're united around, we all see what the
21:32
problem is, like we'll stand and march those of us
21:34
that are getting it. I don't want to
21:36
be locked down. I want to be, you know, but
21:38
then when it comes to the moment where we
21:41
have to now agree on a solution. That's
21:44
right. All bets are off. Right. All bets are off.
21:46
Like how do we get out of it? We can
21:48
all recognize the problem. That's easy. Yeah. Let's stop it.
21:50
Let's stop it. Anyone want to take a crack at,
21:52
you know, how? Yeah. How about, you know, I'll run
21:54
for blah, blah, blah. Right. Do you know what he's
21:56
done? Do you know what he said about, I mean,
21:58
and just for all. Often politics gets
22:01
ugly and then slowly we're arguing over
22:04
the person, the solution, and
22:06
the whole thing versus staying
22:08
focused on what really
22:10
matters. Because
22:13
you're talking about medical freedom.
22:18
These other topics, like the high wire, we're starting
22:20
to really diversify. People are like, where's it going?
22:22
We are starting to talk about Putin
22:24
and World War. And we thought about, how
22:26
do we talk about it? Is that medical
22:28
freedom? Is that all that the high wire
22:30
represents? We went to
22:32
our mission statement, dedicated to
22:34
eradicating manmade disease. Well,
22:37
certainly nuclear fallout would have diseases
22:39
that we wouldn't want to deal with. But
22:44
how do you think the medical freedom movement is
22:46
connecting these dots? You keep using this word
22:48
liberty. Is it the
22:50
heart of the liberty movement or was
22:52
it the thing that really gave the
22:54
liberty movement something to focus on? How
22:58
do you see that? I
23:02
became aware of the medical freedom
23:04
movement about four
23:06
years prior to 2020. So
23:09
on my show, I was using your work and
23:11
the work that you guys made. So
23:13
we've been, I've been reporting on this
23:15
and all of, in the vaccine genre.
23:19
I believe that my kids were vaccine injured.
23:21
That's how most parents get into this discussion.
23:25
So I think
23:27
that the, that
23:30
movement is based on, I
23:32
mean, the ultimate expression of
23:34
liberty is bodily, body sovereignty,
23:36
right? Like if
23:39
the government can force you to be
23:41
injected against your will, carers you to
23:43
be injected against your will or undergo
23:45
any medical intervention against your
23:47
will or quarantine you against your will, then
23:50
everything else is off the table. It's over. Right.
23:53
Right. So I think that's where
23:56
the, the, the, the, the, the social economic
23:58
issues that we talk about, we argue about
24:00
politics. So that's
24:02
been on the table. I mean, we
24:04
know back into the 19, you know,
24:07
late 80s and 90s that pharma has
24:09
been expanding their power, capturing federal government
24:11
and the agencies. And so
24:13
I think that this has just
24:15
metastasized over the past 40 years.
24:18
And we're now at the crescendo.
24:20
And COVID was the moment when
24:23
we actually, the mask came off and
24:25
we actually witnessed, especially people who lived
24:27
in New York or California or
24:30
Italy, witness the full
24:32
scale martial law power of
24:37
the federal government or the
24:39
global government to propagandize,
24:43
indoctrinate, lock us down, arrest
24:46
us at school board meetings. And so I
24:49
think that had the effect of
24:51
waking people up who
24:53
were close to that, but they weren't where we were, right?
24:56
And so yes, the
24:58
Liberty movement is all
25:00
wrapped in your right,
25:03
your natural, God-given natural right
25:07
to think what you wanna think and say what
25:09
you wanna say and live the life the way
25:11
that you want to live it. It's all wrapped
25:13
up in our constitution. I mean, it's all right
25:15
there. And in the
25:17
spirit of the Declaration of Independence, which if you
25:19
were to look at the Declaration compared to what
25:22
the government is doing to us right now, we
25:24
should be revolting. We
25:26
should be doing what Netherlands is doing, but in the US,
25:29
the resistance is tempered because
25:32
we're so divided politically, right?
25:34
So we're so afraid of the other team that
25:37
we continue to elect these leaders
25:40
that are actually on the same team, both
25:43
political parties. And then
25:45
we just, it's a power sharing arrangement that
25:47
we go back and forth every four years
25:49
and we shuffle off to the voting booth
25:53
and we reelect the same people.
25:55
They've amassed way too much power.
25:58
The Vision of this country was a bottom up. Contrary,
26:00
it was. can. it was governed
26:02
by the people. That rotary. That's
26:04
local government, that's your immediate municipality
26:06
and in the states. So I
26:09
see the answer. There.
26:11
Are No Answers regularly Fight. Of that
26:13
life would probably be an ideal loose
26:15
shared devolution of power from the central
26:17
government and really just going back to
26:19
the states and it's gonna be messy
26:22
and you know to your point with
26:24
like that the packages that guys ran
26:26
on the A I is absolutely terrifying
26:28
Ai and and the to any of
26:30
the push for the the the transgender
26:33
as on but I think that the
26:35
consumer has an enormous amount of power
26:37
and as we begin to conversations about
26:39
a. The. Consumers
26:42
and and decide whether they want
26:44
that are not Rate Humans have
26:46
an amazing ability to survive your
26:49
and advances in technology and so.
26:51
You know, You. Just look
26:53
at the uptake of vaccines right now.
26:55
Culver nineteen vaccine single digits was never
26:58
supposed to be like that. Were opposed
27:00
to be getting jobs yet somehow do
27:02
all the propaganda. The majority, like the
27:04
vast majority of the American people, were
27:06
like we don't want those anymore. And
27:09
they're not taking on you. Look
27:11
at the the boycott of Bud
27:13
Light in Target over that issue
27:15
of transgender Lm. Very quiet but
27:18
powerful consumer decision is happening there
27:20
and people are talking about it
27:22
to they don't want to be
27:24
called a you know, a big
27:26
Ed or a homophobe are trans
27:29
folks, but with their dollars and
27:31
with their feet, they're walking. So.
27:34
I think our can are
27:36
you know the American populations
27:38
ready but we gotta eraser
27:40
these are very divisive issue,
27:42
party, political. Little. And
27:45
make it about Constitution, liberty, Freedom, and
27:47
all of the founding principles that I
27:49
tell you Most Americans can agree on.
27:52
are you know i've said before the when
27:54
when i look at the united states of
27:57
america i really question if we're being governed
27:59
from within out of our borders now.
28:01
I mean, when I, you know, I
28:03
remember I played a video early on
28:05
with the Build Back Better statement, you
28:07
know, and the great reset. And
28:09
I remember my team was putting it all together and I
28:12
knew all these people were saying Build Back Better. But
28:14
when I saw the video at the
28:17
end that Joe Biden said it like while
28:19
campaigning, and it came
28:21
from Klaus Schwab and a globalist
28:23
international consortium, not from a slogan
28:26
about being American, that
28:30
was the moment I felt like we turned the
28:32
corner. And now we
28:34
have got to be very conscious of whether or not
28:36
the leaders that we're looking at, I'm not trying to
28:38
be political here, I'm not telling anyone who to vote
28:40
for, but all of them, we should look at all
28:43
of them, you know, are they globalists? Do they believe,
28:45
you know, that there should be no
28:47
borders? Do they believe that anyone should just be able
28:49
to rush across our border as we're seeing right
28:52
now? And amazing, amazing that you
28:54
can watch the same administrations that
28:57
are fighting to, you know, have FISA,
28:59
you know, court ability to just
29:02
search my home at any moment, to
29:04
be able to track my cell phones,
29:06
which is part of what we know
29:09
they're doing, all saying to protect against
29:11
terrorism or domestic terrorists, while
29:13
people from the Middle East, Africa,
29:15
you know, Europe, China are just
29:18
flooding across our border without being
29:20
tracked at all. Yeah, right, that
29:22
hypocrisy or flooding across our border
29:24
without being vaccinated at all,
29:26
for what it's worth. I rarely get in
29:28
that conversation because I'm never going to fight
29:31
to vaccinate, you know, immigrants because it would
29:33
be absurdly against what I believe in.
29:35
But the fact that my kids are being forced, they
29:37
want to go to school, but you can just walk
29:39
in this country from another country, we're not even going
29:41
to look at it. That level
29:44
of hypocrisy. But my question
29:46
is, is it just
29:48
seems so obvious now, right? It seems we're
29:50
so obviously off track. Is
29:52
it happening just to make us
29:55
fight each other? I mean, are these
29:57
topics transgender? Are they just? You
30:00
know designed to like jab me and then I want and
30:02
this is really a question I want to ask you in
30:05
media I get is that Are
30:07
we doing exactly what they want us to do
30:09
by showing people these things and getting you excensed
30:11
and and and and getting you? Hyper
30:14
afraid afraid right? Yeah, we just
30:16
playing into The
30:18
goal which is get everyone afraid get everyone
30:20
confused running around with their hair on fire
30:22
scared of everything around them Yeah, and then
30:25
we can just dictate what we want That's
30:28
something I wrestle with all the time on my show
30:30
right because there are Existential
30:33
problems that we are dealing with
30:35
today, and they are very scary things right
30:37
um and So
30:40
you know I decided during
30:42
COVID that I just wasn't going to
30:44
be afraid It was just basically a
30:46
decision right and that my platform in
30:48
my show I was never gonna leave
30:50
my audience afraid ever yes,
30:53
so you want to Address these
30:55
problems, and you can't sugarcoat
30:57
them you have to slap them on
30:59
the kitchen table Address them,
31:01
but never be afraid of them And
31:04
so that's why I always try to move
31:06
people towards I've always been looking for solutions
31:08
right and I was the same as everyone
31:10
else I was you know on in my
31:12
own political camp for the majority of my
31:14
life, and then I started paying attention What
31:18
I realized is that you can't put all
31:20
of all of your hope into that political
31:22
basket because from
31:25
my perspective I
31:28
don't even know that either of the
31:30
two party political candidates have agency
31:33
or if they are Power once
31:35
they're right, and so I think
31:37
that DC has become so corrupted that
31:41
You know we really have to do business with the
31:43
family like you know I? Think
31:45
it's becoming obvious to a lot of people that
31:48
that the decisions are made well let
31:50
me just put up you know As
31:53
I've said you beforehand we're a nonprofit. I'm not
31:55
choosing sides on anything, but you know when I
31:58
look at Donald Trump right to me I
32:00
think we could all agree is probably the
32:02
most radical sort of
32:04
outsider that's taken office. And
32:07
when you watch someone like that, to your
32:09
point, just the things that just triggered me
32:11
when we watch him go in and say
32:13
he doesn't care about any of the system,
32:15
clearly it's kind of mayhem in there, but
32:17
there are people that love that, people that
32:19
are terrified of it. But
32:21
whatever the case, I think it's about
32:24
things like had he really focused on
32:26
China and the Wuhan lab, which he
32:28
was suspicious of, why didn't he really
32:30
just nail that to the wall? It
32:33
seemed like I think it came
32:35
from there. I'm going to put my own people.
32:37
I'm not buying into this. We're going to go
32:39
ahead and investigate that. Why didn't that happen? It
32:41
would have played so well into his messaging. Call
32:44
it nationalist, call it racist
32:48
or whatever you want to call it. That
32:52
was right there for the picking. And
32:54
he probably would have been right had he gotten in there
32:56
because now we know actually does look like it did
32:59
sort of come out of that Wuhan lab. Or
33:02
when I look at hydroxychloroquine and we looked at
33:04
he used it, why did he let go of
33:06
fighting for it? Things like
33:08
that. When you
33:10
could have really decimated Fauci with
33:12
that. Or simply he said, when
33:14
I get in office, I'm going
33:16
to release the JFK files, which is
33:18
something that I mean, every one of us wants to know.
33:21
Right? What is it that you're possibly
33:23
hiding? He goes in and then doesn't
33:25
do it. And I'm not meaning this
33:27
as any mark. I'm saying I sent
33:30
a guy that looked to me to
33:32
not care what the system thinks
33:34
and to your point goes in and it doesn't
33:36
look like much can be done there. Why are
33:38
those things not happening? And
33:40
look, Donald, if you're out there, you
33:42
come and sit in this seat. I
33:44
really would love that in this conversation
33:46
and know why you had didn't
33:49
sort of follow through in the places that could seem
33:51
like would. But we just imagine is this thing is
33:53
just such a behemoth. It's unstoppable.
33:55
There's nothing you can do. That is the
33:58
tragedy of this election season. And that's my second.
34:00
Second goal of my show is to shove this
34:02
issue of 2020 and 2021 into the political arena.
34:07
I want to hear from Donald Trump as
34:09
to why he did those things. I think as the
34:12
American people and as the electorate, we
34:14
deserve to have those questions
34:16
answered along with Biden. What
34:20
we have here is we have
34:22
the worst atrocities committed against American
34:25
citizens in the history of the founding of this country.
34:27
And just because I think, I mean, just to
34:29
be fair, Robert Kennedy Jr., Biden, Donald Trump are
34:31
up there. Yeah. Phil Stein, if
34:33
you can get enough votes, I mean, I just want
34:35
to be clear, not choosing sides. Yeah.
34:38
We should have real debates. We should see
34:40
these people being asked the hard questions. Why
34:42
did you make the decision if you were
34:44
there? Or what did you would you make
34:46
in the future? And instead, we seem to
34:48
be avoiding that entire debating system right now.
34:50
Not on my watch. I mean, I'm doing the best I can
34:52
on my show every day to like shove it back into the
34:55
four. But
34:57
there were only two candidates that had
34:59
the power of the executive office during
35:01
the atrocities of COVID-19. Trump
35:04
initiated it, initiated apparition,
35:06
warp speed, put Fauci in
35:08
control of everything. In fact,
35:12
even in 2018 and 19, laid
35:14
the groundwork by lifting the ban
35:16
on gain of function research that
35:19
was put in place by the Obama administration. He
35:22
also formed SISA via executive order.
35:25
That was in 2019, I believe, during the Trump, and I could
35:27
be wrong on that. But it
35:29
was prior to COVID. So
35:31
Trump initiated everything and then
35:33
Biden continued it and doubled
35:35
and tripled down. So this is
35:37
the best example that people have
35:40
of a uni-party system. I
35:42
always think about Biden
35:44
mandated a Donald Trump
35:46
product. Yes. Like,
35:49
I mean, just to say, are we
35:51
really that far apart? And
35:53
why not? We're not going to be able to go
35:55
into your job unless you take the product of the
35:57
man I said is evil. cronies
36:00
make for him and rush speed. Now you
36:02
all have to get it. So you are.
36:04
You're just like, what is going on? Well,
36:07
there are liberals on the record saying when
36:09
Trump was initiating Operation Warp Speed, I will
36:11
never take any vaccine that ever came up,
36:13
and then fast forward once
36:16
the Democrat president is in there. So that's
36:18
like the heart of what I'm saying about
36:20
the political divide. Like we are, George
36:23
Washington warned us of factions, right? That
36:25
when you're so afraid of the other
36:27
faction that you let evil
36:30
metastasize and corruption
36:33
metastasize, eventually making
36:35
a lesser of two
36:37
evils choice and then just
36:39
plain evil. You descend to a point
36:41
where it's just plain evil. So
36:44
I'm so glad there are more voices on the
36:46
political stage this year. I think that's a great
36:48
thing. And with my
36:51
audience, I am giving that I'm
36:54
too often in political contests we
36:57
hammer our guy and we
36:59
we end friendships
37:02
and relationships and even working professional relationships because you're not
37:04
going to vote for the guy that I want to
37:06
vote for. I just want to take everyone a step
37:08
back and say, hey, go for vote for who you
37:10
want to go vote for. Vote your
37:13
conscience. And maybe there's
37:15
something good they can do from the executive
37:17
office. I mean, Washington D.C. is pretty corrupt,
37:20
right? But they need us from the
37:22
bottom up. There's so much we can
37:24
do in the next seven months. We
37:26
have the World Health Organization that's going
37:28
to be voting on these nasty, nasty
37:30
amendments, securing more power for themselves. The
37:33
African nations are rising up. I
37:35
had two great interviews with the
37:38
African freedom fighters. Dr. Sanchata Chetty
37:40
was on my show
37:42
two days ago and I
37:44
had Dr. Herman Edeling, both
37:46
from South Africa. And
37:49
they are mobilizing
37:51
to smash down these amendments. And if the
37:53
United States can't do it, we might have
37:56
to depend on our brothers and sisters in
37:58
the great continent of Africa. do it
38:00
like they did in 2000 and the
38:02
best health record really when it comes to
38:04
the vaccine wasn't able
38:06
to make that case of dealing with the Bill and
38:09
Melinda Gates Foundation and Bobby and they
38:11
learned this is not their first rodeo. They know
38:13
they know what's going on. So
38:16
there's there's just so much we can do. Right.
38:19
So don't get, you know, wrapped up because
38:21
again, you know, if your guy
38:23
doesn't win, they're going to be depressed for a month.
38:25
And you know, even if he does win, is he
38:28
really going to do what he says he's going to
38:30
do? You know, go in and vote, put politics in
38:32
its place, elections in their
38:34
place and then let's let's
38:37
reimagine and reinvent civics. Right.
38:40
Like getting involved in our own communities. The
38:43
Liberty Movement. What do you when you say that? How
38:45
big do you think it is? I
38:48
think it's big enough. Big
38:50
enough. It's big enough. There are enough of us. It
38:55
was precarious for a while. I think
38:57
the 25 percent of
39:01
Americans who refused
39:03
covid-19 vaccine, despite
39:06
the coercion, the propaganda
39:09
and everything was billions of
39:11
dollars, billions of dollars
39:13
of marketing propaganda just dumps on
39:16
the American people. Yeah. That was
39:18
I always say it's about 30 percent, but we could
39:20
maybe 30. Yeah. But somewhere like
39:22
25 to 30 percent of America. I say the same
39:24
thing. I rejected. Yeah.
39:27
Stood. And look, that that has to
39:29
be a passionate group of people. Oh, yeah. Because
39:31
we were under assault. We were being told you are
39:33
like the end of the world. You're evil. You're
39:36
dark. You're killing your neighbors.
39:38
So 30 percent took that
39:40
for two, three straight years.
39:42
That assault. Yeah. On
39:45
every screen they walked by every newspaper they
39:47
read and they said, yeah, still no. Yeah.
39:50
That's a pretty passionate group of people. Oh, yeah. Liberal
39:52
and conservative. Right. And conservative
39:55
media was hammering it. Right. So
39:58
that was uniquely American. Yeah,
40:00
that didn't happen anywhere else in the
40:02
world agreed. It was uniquely American
40:05
So that core group if we can
40:07
keep it together Yeah through this election
40:09
season right regardless of what happens that's
40:12
going to be the new cultural liberty
40:14
movement That I I hope
40:16
and pray Is
40:18
going to lead the rest of the world out of this darkness? And
40:21
then we'll figure out how to face all of the
40:23
other things that are coming the financial. Yeah Um
40:26
the the global conflicts, but
40:29
we can do it i'm ever an optimist
40:31
So am I so am I i'm still trying to think of
40:34
how to end this show because she's like, you know I was
40:36
on an end on a positive note. Yeah With
40:38
you know the ai and things like that are happening,
40:41
but I I agree with you It's something i'm looking
40:43
at a lot right now is how big is that
40:45
movement? I always think about ed griffin You
40:48
know who wrote creature of jekyll island
40:50
has this amazing interview years ago with
40:52
the kgb defector
40:54
that Totally predicts the exact
40:56
world that we find ourselves in where we're
40:58
going to infiltrate you We're going to infiltrate
41:01
your universities and we're just going to create
41:03
mayhem. We're going to create Cultural issues that
41:05
will have you all fighting with each other and in
41:07
the end We're just more patient than
41:09
you are. We're going to take over america We're
41:11
going to win and I and I think about
41:13
you know those those moments, but he would always
41:15
say Right about 13
41:18
percent of a very
41:20
passionate Uh portion
41:22
of society has made every
41:25
change national change every sort of
41:27
system change that we've ever seen And
41:30
I have to believe that in that 25 30 percent We
41:33
are really strong in there. There is definitely, you
41:35
know 13 in there I
41:38
think it could be that 25 or even 30 And
41:41
then we see that only as you pointed out 90
41:44
of america aren't even going near
41:46
the booster shots Which means they've
41:48
at least the sort of the
41:51
the Trying to think
41:53
of the best way to say this the herd if you will Is
41:56
even moving in our direction and to me that's a
41:58
huge sign, right? How powerful is
42:01
that smaller group? Well, how much of
42:03
that middle that just don't ever stand
42:05
up for themselves a fight? They're being
42:07
there the tug-of-war between these two sides.
42:09
What direction are they heading? It
42:12
looks to me like they're all moving our direction
42:14
whether they've admitted that or not Right and how
42:16
we message to them or not. Yeah, but I
42:18
think that I agree with you It's
42:22
a really interesting revelation to
42:24
follow the work that you're doing. What's your podcast? What
42:26

42:54
your work. I mean you guys When
42:57
I was when I was doing my
42:59
deep dive and trying to
43:01
figure out this whole vaccine issue
43:03
It was children's health defense and
43:06
you the high wire I can't
43:08
Aaron Siri Bobby Kennedy It
43:11
was a whole new world for me and
43:13
you guys I've been watching you for many
43:15
many many years Consistency is unbelievable and I'm
43:17
really honored to be here. It's really great
43:19
having you and it's always I'm always so
43:21
excited to see More and more voices, you
43:24
know people like you have a lot more
43:26
competition Dallas I thought was always the goal
43:28
like I feel like you know, we started
43:30
watching Tucker Carlson and some other Reporters
43:33
out there, you know podcasters Joe
43:35
Rogan. You're the You're
43:39
like I kind of we laid our claim
43:42
but we're happy To
43:44
have all those other people out there. So well,
43:46
thank you for coming in. Thank you for the time
43:49
and thank you for this really I
43:51
don't usually you know talk to other reporters and
43:53
I think that what people don't understand when they're
43:56
watching a show is There's a lot of thinking
43:58
on how how should I present? I
44:00
don't want everyone fighting. I don't. I'm trying to
44:02
create, you know, how do we reach out to
44:04
new hearts and minds? I can't insult them just
44:07
because they maybe made a different choice
44:09
and you know How do we stay
44:11
unified and especially coming to this political
44:13
season? You raise really good points. I
44:16
would say What I think
44:18
about right now is we should probably say as
44:20
Americans How about a moratorium on
44:22
yelling at each other? There we go. How
44:24
about six months? We can all
44:26
start yelling How about the last month yell and
44:28
scream all you want and try and force me
44:30
to vote for who you think I should vote
44:32
for But I've been filled in. Yeah, why don't
44:34
we all sit and have some really honest conversations
44:36
and recognize that Nobody we have
44:38
voted for over the last several decades ever
44:40
did much of anything They promised they were
44:43
gonna do and let us down in a
44:45
major way and have made it almost impossible
44:47
to say that they're anything But some sort
44:49
of duopoly. That's right. And why don't we
44:51
just honestly talk about How
44:53
we would ever change that and who we think
44:55
but put it all on the table and recognize
44:57
that we're in this together and America's
45:00
really needed. I've had so many people that come
45:02
in here now that are guests from other countries
45:04
and they just say Dell We
45:07
are really terrified because America we need
45:09
you, you know, just recently Canadian lawyer
45:13
came in and and Said
45:16
we are looking to you to like
45:18
lead the world and you
45:20
are having a tug-of-war with a Constitution that's
45:22
the last one of its kind and
45:25
you're about to tear it apart. Yeah we
45:27
really have to do something about this yes, we do and It's
45:31
a blessing to be able to do it
45:33
though, right? We live an extraordinary time. Absolutely
45:35
Shannon. Thank you so much Keep up the good work.
45:37
