“Preston, thanks, man. Thanks for having me. I was kind of shocked you tweeted something out about my book. I didn't know you. And suddenly you're following so huge. You have such a devoted listenership that I got flooded. I'm horrible at social media. I got flooded. I was like, Bridget, look, people like me. They're following me on Twitter. I'm horrible at Twitter or X, whatever it is. So I appreciated the shout out. And thanks, man. Thanks for giving me a platform to address this.”

“Eating nothing but animal-based products. Just 30. Just give it 30 days and just see what your body tells you. Just give that a try and you'll find yourself more free. Because if you're not healthy, you're not free. And your self-autonomy begins with personal health.”

“There's never been a time where the government hasn't come in and confiscated gold, even in America under Roosevelt. We confiscated the gold. Bitcoin is a decentralized way, and every time you buy a little bit of Bitcoin, the most charitable act you could commit when you're transitioning your fiat to Bitcoin because you're taking a little jab at the fiat money printer and you're hurting its ability to distort markets in our food supply, health, architecture, every aspect. I would argue most consequentially in the food supply. And that's beautiful. So you don't need to pick it. And I would recommend go find a local farmer. Like I'm fortunate enough in Sierra Vista, white white barn farms is my local rancher and they supplied me with all the meat I need. There's no shots in my cows. They're not getting vaccinated. I try to buy with Bitcoin. And every time I do that, instead of fiat, I end the distortion by just a little bit.”

“Yeah, I got to meet him in Austin. I did an event in Austin and just remarkable in breaking it down. But the short end of this. I would argue that any hard currency implemented would solve this crisis because what it does is it undermines the incentive for the federal government to obfuscate our food supply. So there's no reason for the government to want to alter the food supply to obscure the rising consequences cost of food through the rising consequences of money printing when there's no more money printing. It puts the spoke in the tire of this whole gaslighting campaign by removing any incentive to do it. So I really think Bitcoin is evident, it's self-evident that it's better than gold because gold historically goes in the banks where it can be centralized. Always government always confiscates gold.”

“And Lyndon Johnson at the time was considering reelection and eggs were going up in price to come back to eggs. Eggs were skyrocketing in price. And Lyndon Johnson, this is a true story recounted by Samuelson, who worked in debt administration in one of his books. He called his surgeon general into his office and was like, everybody's angry. Eggs are going up in price. We can't have this. And the surgeon general was like, look, it's supply and demand. I can't do anything. Lyndon Johnson instructed his surgeon general to write a phony press release saying that eggs are unhealthy, distribute it to the media. The media pushed it. The demand for eggs went down as a result. The supply stayed the same, so the price lowered. And to this day, people think that that idiotic press release, which was nothing more than a psyop to lower the price of eggs for political reasons, is legitimate science. So they'll be like, oh, you can't eat eggs.”

“So under Lyndon Johnson, even though we had a gold standard, inflation had begun because of a great society. So America was already committing a fraud at the time because we had issued so many more paper notes than we had gold in our treasury. All would have taken was a few countries at the same time to come and try to redeem, to expose this as a fraud. So while Nixon's a bad guy, he wasn't totally culpable. The fraud that was happening had been happening by prior presidents.”

Like, wow, I'm not poisoning myself and I feel better. Just ignore the noise. In essentially, your great, great-grandmother was right. I have cooked for part of my research. I bought tons of cookbooks from the 1800s. And it's interesting how everything was based on me. And plants were eaten, but basically if you were kind of starving or didn't. Afford other food. I mean, we weren't eating fruit in Arizona here in January. That wasn't how it was. And you weren't eating berries in the northeast then. You might find some berries in Pennsylvania for a few weeks out of the year if it hadn't been mauled by bears and stuff, you know.”

“In the 1940s, we shouldn't eat meat because we acknowledge that meat was really healthy and we needed to save it for the churps fighting abroad, so plant your victory gardens. Today, we're convinced in virtue signaling while eating like peasants from the 1400s. And it's always never in our best interest of the people. It's always to the aggrandizement of our leaders. Because as I mentioned, if you're only eating cereal, you don't notice the consequences of inflation. But there's a deeper issue, which I found when I began my personal journey. So I eat animal-based about 90%. I start my morning. If you could see over there, I have a ribeye. I start my morning with a steak. And I'm fortunate that I can afford these things.

“In 1970, it was a different argument, the crisis was overpopulation. And there was a book called The Population Bomb written by one of history's largest morons, a guy named Paul Ehrlich, who, if he tells you not to invest in a stock, invest in that stock because he's like the reverse Nostradamus of predictions. And he posited that we're all going to run out of food by like 1986 because we were eating too much meat and meats resource intensive. So that was why we shouldn't eat the meat.”

I covered a lot of corruption in my time as an investigative reporter, but I'd always assume that they had the best interest at heart as long as it didn't conflict with their own agenda. This changed me. And watching these people, like these doctors get on, and during COVID, you saw a lot of fat, overweight, obese doctors giving health advice. And I could not. Then you look at something like Dr. Sean Baker, who's a heretic in health. Wait, so Dr. Sean Baker is telling me not to get a weight loss drug and he looks like Zeus.

Right? Like she's undermining that. And that's something that I found throughout. You're supposed to ignore your common sense.

Government used to not tell us what to eat. In 1980, they began. They said, oh, eat more grains, eat less meat. 1992, which we discussed briefly, was the dietary food pyramid.

But in 1971, when we shifted our money from a gold-based currency to fiat, meaning now the government prints as much as they want, they began an incentive structure through fiat to conduct a gaslighting campaign that actually saw the food supply shift. not the shift that we saw from 1910 to 1970 with corporate influence and the influence of this religious group, it really shifted notably then. And where in 1970, the average person ate around 155 pounds, you might want to fact check this. That's off the top of my head, pounds of red meat a year, that got more than cut in half by 2010.”

He gave the date. And everybody waited for the end of the world. And it became known in history as the great disappointment when the world did not end. All these people sold all their things.

But what I understood was that it's a statistical tautology, right? Because it's like these food studies, it's just marketing where when CPI was first brought into the picture in America during World War I, it was a pretty good reliable barometer because it covered stable goods that people bought. It'd be like steel, me, and they didn't change. You could see what the price of a pound of beef was. One year ago and what it is today, a price of beef one year ago, price of coffee, one year ago, and then today, and you can measure it. The problem with CPI initially as constructed was that it was a reliable barometer and that people could then see the rise in prices. And that was problematic for governments. It wasn't as problematic when we were on a hard currency.”

“1971, Nixon decoupled from gold up until that point, the American people weren't able to redeem their promissory notes for gold, but foreign banks could. So this provided a powerful restraint on the ability for the government to just keep printing money, which kept inflation relatively modest. But when Nixon decoupled completely in 1971 and August 15th in a speech known as the Nixon shock, he knew, and all government leaders knew, and I have this from several FOIA requests that came through, they were very aware that food prices were going to rise extensively. So they began a campaign. What amounted to a 55-year gaslighting campaign not to come clean with the American people on the consequences of decoupling the monetary inflation that would ensue, but to change the entire trajectory of the food supply.”

“This is when governments get overthrown. You saw in 2022, according to American University, there are 12,500 food and energy-related riots in Europe alone just in 2022. Same year in Sri Lanka, Riots over primarily attributed to the rising cost of animal based products escalated to such an extent that hundreds of thousands of people went into the Sri Lankan government and the leaders had to flee. So governments are very, very aware of the link between government instability and rising food prices. So when Nixon decoupled from gold, so I want your audience to stay with me. I know I'm throwing a lot at it.”

“When I chronicle in the book is industry, science, and its religious group, they all had this interest in removing meat from the American diet. But still, in 1970, Americans ate meat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So they heard these arguments, but the diet that for thousands of years humans have eaten, they continue to eat, and it hadn't been swayed. 1971 rolls around in a very powerful player emerges into this debate and is the federal government. I mean, this is, I think, where a lot of your audience is going to find it intriguing. And this is where I found it most intriguing was the government motivation in altering our food supply. What you'll discover when you look at governments historically is that governments can survive endless war. You see it all the time. Like we keep electing these people in America. We've been in war every year but five since 1971. Governments or the people accept corruption. But what you don't accept, what people won't accept is rising food prices.”

“In higher cholesterol was associated with better outcomes and lower mortality rates. So how could this be? It was the exact opposite of what Anselke Keys and the Die Hart hypothesis had hypothesized. That's why it was called a hypothesis, right? It was an educated guest. They didn't know. Now they knew. And one of the researchers, Gary Tobbs, who is a fantastic science journalist, asked, well, why didn't you release this data earlier? And his response was very telling. He said, There is nothing wrong with the study. In fact, a study was great, but, quote, we are just so disappointed in the results. And you got to understand that these scientists had their entire reputations built on this hypothesis. There was an infrastructure. But what happens is...”

“How many decades It's a long time. Yeah, it's like four decades. Somebody from, once again, I hate to give credit to the Times, but truthfully, they did great work on this. Somebody from the Times was like, what happened to that study? I remember hearing about it when I was a kid and it was a huge deal and nobody ever said anything about the study. So we was able to get a hold of one of the researcher's sons, Ansel Keys was one of the lead researchers. Another researcher's son who said, you know, their father had died, but they had all the boxes in her basement. And they went through the boxes. And it revealed that not only did the study not validate Ansel Keese's hypothesis, it actually indicated that the opposite was true, that lower cholesterol was associated with poorer health outcomes.”

“We begin to formulate, we assume that Ansel Keys is correct, although there's no evidence. Dietary guidelines move forward based on his premise. In the, I think it was 2014, it became revealed.”
