1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio,

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Smith with us as we talk about GMOs. You know, Jeffrey,

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: We've talked about this for years with you, and I've

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: always heard concern. Sometimes you've been a little upset with

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: the fact that they're making GMOs. This time I'm picking

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: up in your voice a concern, a real deep concern,

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: am I Right. Well, here's the thing, George. We've been

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: massively successful at changing consumer behavior. I've been doing this

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: for nearly quarter of a century, and forty six percent

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: of Americans are now seeking non GMO food, which is

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: more than we need. So the tipping point is underway

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: in the United States, and I would say that phase

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: has been a huge success. But when any individual or

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: laboratory or country can start pumping out new gene edited

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: organisms at high rates, and that's going to just get

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: stronger and stronger as the robotics in. We're talking about

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: the possibility of all future generations being basically in inheriting

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the folly because we've come to an inevitable time in

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: human history where we can easily reorder the codes of

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: life and redirect the streams of evolution, but we don't

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: have the counterbalancing ethics, morality, or deep understanding. You have companies,

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: for example, like there's a gene editing gene edited hornless cows. Right.

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: They wanted to remove the cows from the genetics so

24
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: that they can put a lot of cows into into

25
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: confinements so that they wouldn't hurt each other with their horns.

26
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: And so they used a gene editing crisper to knock

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: out a gene that creates the horns. And they called

28
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: this a magnificent success. And check out this arrogance. It

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: was so successful that no other genetically engineered animal, they said,

30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: should be subject to any regulations. Now, two years later,

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: while they were actually growing out these hornless cattle, the

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: FDA decided to actually sequence the genes. No one had

33
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: done that. They just declared it a success. And they

34
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: found guess what, guys, there's now bacterial DNA in the cows,

35
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: every single cell of the cow. And that that bacteria.

36
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: There's two genes there that create antibiotic resistant genes. And

37
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: now those antibiotic resistant proteins they might create antibotic resistant

38
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: diseases which could kill people or cause me amputation and

39
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: it was absolutely a disaster. Similarly, they found mice that

40
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: had accidentally incorporated retroviruses into their DNA. I was reading

41
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: during the break. Just now, there was a new study

42
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: that came out describing how crisper gene editing fails to

43
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: do what it's been proclaimed to be doing. And this

44
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: is something I get every week, like say, they're undercounting

45
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: errors and mutations and des and it's because they don't

46
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: even actually review the changes that are made in the

47
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: organisms that they create. They just look at what is

48
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: expected and say, ah, another success. And so given this hypnosis,

49
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: this massive hypnosis that this stuff is safe, they're actually

50
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: convincing governments to not do any oversight. Australia just pass

51
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: to law that any gene edited animal or plant or

52
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: microorganism can be introduced without any safety study. These people,

53
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: it's this huge lobbying effort. It's a massive lying effort,

54
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: and Monsanto, of course has been engaged in it for years.

55
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: And we have a lot of information about how they're

56
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: doing it because millions of documents have made public because

57
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: of these lawsuits. But it's not just them, it is

58
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: an infrastructure of this information. Years ago, I remember hearing

59
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: about a baotech meeting in East in Eastern Europe, and

60
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: the number one goal of the biotech industry was to

61
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: figure out how to introduce the new types of GMOs

62
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: and to not have human anyone the policymakers or consumers

63
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: think that they're actually GMOs, just call it breeding and

64
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: have absolutely no regulation, no oversight, and no concern. And

65
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: yet every single week or month I read a devastating

66
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: article how this stuff is extremely dangerous, and yet gene

67
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: edited crops are already approved for eating, and there in fact,

68
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: you don't even have to get them approved. If you

69
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: ask the FDA, do you have to even review our

70
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: gene edited food for introduction into the food supply, they

71
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: say no. The FDA says no, the EPA says no,

72
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: there's no one looking. Why doesn't our administration step in

73
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: and do something about this? They did any administry in

74
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: the wrong direction, George. On June eleventh, there was a

75
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: presidential executive order signed by Trump that told the FDA,

76
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: the EPA, and the USDA hands off, and not only

77
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: hands off, but to promote GMOs. And so just this

78
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: last week, the FDA announced their program Feed Your Mind,

79
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: where they're spending millions and millions of dollars to disinform

80
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: the American public, the US Agency for International Development to

81
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: announce that they were going to spend again part of

82
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: this executive order, seventy million dollars to create new agricultural biotechnitiatives.

83
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: They're going to spend twenty five million dollars creating new

84
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: GMO seeds in Cornell. And as part of this executive order,

85
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: Trump ordered all these regulatory agencies, plus the Secretary of State,

86
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: plus the Trade Representative to put a maximum pressure on

87
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the rest of the world so that they also do

88
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: not require any oversight on US gene edited products. And

89
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: they just they have a negotiation underway with the UK

90
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: after Brexit where it looks like they're going to try

91
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: and reverse all of the food safety laws, especially the

92
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: GMO is in gene editing. They've already had that on

93
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: the table with the EU. They've got China to fast

94
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: track approvals. So they're trying to pressure and successfully come

95
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: countries around the world. And so if we are not vigilant,

96
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: if we don't create a counterbalancing movement, which is what

97
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: our Institute for Responsible Technology is trying to do, then

98
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: we are facing a potential catastrophe. Now you brought up

99
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: Monsanto anything with all these lawsuits that have been pending

100
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: against them. Oh, that's been fun, George. I've gotten close

101
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: to some of the lawyers that have been suing Monsanto

102
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: and on our side at Responsible Technology dot Org. You

103
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: can watch a five part interview that I do with

104
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: a brilliant, brilliant attorney, Brent Wisner. I was on The

105
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: Doctor's TV show with him for a full hour and

106
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: he talks about what was exposed in the Monsanto papers.

107
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you just a taste, George, because

108
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: this is I've been talking about Monsanto, exposing Monsanto for

109
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: years in terms of their dirty dealings. But there's a

110
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: couple of things that I was never aware of, and

111
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: I just loved collecting these stories. So when they were

112
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: producing Roundup and they wanted to get it approved by

113
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: the EPA, there's a test to see about human skin absorption.

114
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: So they take cadaver skin and they apply Roundup and

115
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: lo and behold, it was over three times more absorption

116
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: into human skin than was legally allowed. So what did

117
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: they do? They hid that evidence, never told the EPA. Instead,

118
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: they cut out the cadaver skin, baked it in an oven,

119
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: then they froze it. Then they took the result in

120
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: leather like human skin and applied roundup, and lo and behold,

121
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't absorbed. So they said, hi, see, look, there's

122
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: hardly any absorption in human skin. They never told the

123
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: EPA that they had baked it and overbaked it and

124
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: overcooked it and overcooked it, and then they froze it

125
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: before they tested it. As They also had hired one

126
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: of the world's experts at termiting whether their roundup would

127
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: cause cancer the DNA mutations, and they were hoping he

128
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: would come to their defense, and lo and behold, he didn't.

129
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: He said, actually, there's demonstrations that does cause cancer, according

130
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: to what you've sent me, And so they buried his report.

131
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: They were legally required to turn over to the cigarette companies,

132
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: and they ghost wrote a review paper with the exact

133
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: opposite conclusions that was used as the basis for approvals

134
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: by the EPA and the other regulatory agencies around the world.

135
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: There was also an industrial biotest labs they were They

136
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: were responsible for the toxicology tests of about a third

137
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: of all the chemical and pharmaceutical companies in the country,

138
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: and it was an entire bogus lamb It was complete fraud.

139
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: And in fact, one of Monsanto's executives went over to

140
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: work there to oversee the Monsanto fraudulent studies, then went

141
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: back to Monsanto and when the whistle, when the whistleblowers

142
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: came forth on this laboratory, three people went to jail,

143
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: including the Monsanto executive. And that was the original study

144
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: that was done un round up, proving that it was safe,

145
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: and it was done fraudulently. We have an instant in Germany,

146
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: there's a laboratory that had done more than a dozen

147
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: studies on round up fraudulently. So this is we now

148
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: have a pretty substantial amount of information showing that these

149
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: guys have been lying from the beginning and that every

150
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: time evidence comes up that there's links to cancer, they

151
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: bury it. Do you think Bear, the German conglomerate which

152
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: bot Monsanto, is kicking themselves? Oh my god. In fact,

153
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: I am actually invited to speak at their shareholders meeting

154
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: and bears Bear, not by Bear, but by some disgruntled okay,

155
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: at Responsible Technology dot Org. I was going to say,

156
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Beer would have sent you an invitation.

157
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: It's true. But if if people want to send me,

158
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: we're actually raising the few thousand dollars to send me

159
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: to Germany, how are you going to get in well,

160
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: because people who are shareholders are given a speaking slot

161
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: and they're proxying me as the speaker. So what happened is,

162
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, I tried to warn Bear shareholders in twenty

163
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: sixteen by publishing a seventeen page report showing eight categories

164
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: of undisclosed risks, including the cancer thing that caused them

165
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: tremendous amounts of money. Now, when I talk about tremendous

166
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: amounts of money, they may be paying twelve billion dollars

167
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: in settlements. They've lost three trials so far. The jury

168
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: has awarded over two billion, but it was taken down

169
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: to about one hundred and ninety million. But there's between

170
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: fifty and one hundred thousand plaintiffs. To put it in perspective,

171
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Bears capital of price. Their stock price went down like

172
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: thirty five or forty percent because of these trials. The

173
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: chairman just decided to retire, to resign because he's embarrassed

174
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: and he's being blamed for this. So at that same

175
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: meeting where I'll be speaking, he's going to step down.

176
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: There's disgruntled Bear shareholders that are suing Bear. And now

177
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: we have millions of pages of documents showing that Monsanto

178
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: has been engaged in covering up and lying and ghost

179
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: riding and attacking scientists. It's there in black and white.

180
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: And so all this will drive up all the punitive

181
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: damages that juries will give, and so they're not like

182
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: there was another set of are you aware of the

183
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: of the dicamba trials that went on in Creevecorps, Louisiana

184
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: where I mean Missouri, right next to Saint Louis. Yeah,

185
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: you used to live around there, didn't you. I still

186
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: doing so. Just on February fifteenths there was another Bellweather

187
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: trial against Bear and Basf, another chemical maker, where a

188
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: peach farmer he lost all his trees, Yeah, thirty thousand

189
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: peach trees, and he claimed that he had lost twenty

190
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: million dollars in damages. He got fifteen million in compensatory damages,

191
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: but the punitive damage, which is where it really hurts,

192
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: was two hundred and fifty million dollars because when they

193
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: showed a lot of peaches. It's true. The thing is

194
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: they had documentation that secretly they knew that introducing this,

195
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,359
Speaker 1: this genetically engineered plant that was resistant to this herbicide

196
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: die camba, was going to result in massive crop damage

197
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: because die camba wants it's sprayed, can rise up into

198
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: the air, move several miles and land on crops to

199
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: kill them. And so now four percent of the entire

200
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: soybean acreage in the country is damaged because of di cama.

201
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: What if you breathe this stuff in? There is evidence

202
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: that die camba is linked to hypothyroidism and cancer, and

203
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: we don't have enough evidence like we did and round

204
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: up to drive trials, but absolutely, because it's in the air,

205
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: you can breathe it in. And also if it gets

206
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: on the crops, you will be eating it. And so

207
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: whether it's through digestion or inhalation, we're being exposed. And

208
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: now what's happening is that Cortiva, which is the combination

209
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: of Dow chemical and DuPont. They now are introducing two

210
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: four D resistant crops, so that you'll be eating part

211
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: of the component of agent orange which was causing cancer

212
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: and birth defects, as well as gufacinate resistant crops, which

213
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: is linked to birth defects. Now, well, we know that

214
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Monsanto wanted these GMOs in order to have a market

215
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: on the seeds because with these kinds of seeds, you

216
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: don't you know, as farmers would always every year hold

217
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: back their own products seeds from the plants. These you

218
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: have to buy every year, right, And what happens is

219
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a combination of seed chemical. You see, in two thousand,

220
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: glyphosate the chief poison and round up was going off

221
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: of pen and Monsanto had a global juggernauts selling roundup.

222
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: They had lied about its safety. Everyone was convinced it

223
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: was safety. Everyone was buying it, right, and it probably

224
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: creates more than thirty diseases, we know that now. But

225
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: they convinced everyone it was safe and they were making

226
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. And so what they did is they

227
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: genetically engineered seeds so that it would withstand the spraying

228
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: of roundup and they had to buy Monsanto's version. So

229
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: after went off patent, the farmers who bought the round

230
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: up pretty seeds still had to buy Monsanto's roundup and

231
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: not the Chinese Glype of Saint knockoffs. Because the seed

232
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: chemical combination was created by Monsanto as a marketing ploy

233
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. Unbelievable. Listen to more Coast to Coast AM
