Donald Trump is once again the President of the United States. Thanks in no small part to a growing coalition I never expected to find on our side of the aisle. And me going, I like this. I like these people. I had the opportunity to sit down with a woman on the forefront of the Maha movement. She is one of many former Democratic voters asking herself, what the heck happened to liberalism? Since when are the Democrats in bed with big pharma, big food, big business? While the Republicans are embracing the message of a man like RFK Jr. I think we all recognize that something is wrong with our nation's health, physically, emotionally, politically, even spiritually. So the right joined forces with some of the most brilliant people on the left that decided to leave everything else behind. People like Tulsi Gabbard, RFK junior Elon Musk, and my next guest, the former Vice presidential candidate, entrepreneur, philanthropist and champion for America's health. Today on the podcast, welcome Nicole Shanahan. But before we get to Nicole, let me just talk to you about a couple of things. First of all, American financing, the average American is still finding it difficult to pay expenses every single month. In most cases, there's nothing left to cover the, you know, the cost of everything else, let alone any extras. This is a problem because we're not getting big raises and with expenses being up so high, it's hard to imagine paying for everything without grabbing a credit card or two from time to time. And if you are a homeowner and you have high interest debt on those credit cards, I urge you to call American Financing today. Just take a couple of minutes and call them. You cannot carry that credit card balance each and every month with an interest rate in the 20s or even 30s, American financing can show you how to put your hard earned equity to work and get you out of debt. Their salary based mortgage consultants work for you and they're saving people in our audience right now, people just like you, an average of about $836 a month. That's a $10,000 raise. Do it right now. There's no upfront costs, no hidden fees. Call American financing.net at 906-2440. That's an 800 number. 906-2440 or go to Americanfinancing.net also I want to talk to you about relief factor. And then we're going to get to Nicole. Relief factor changed my life during a period when I didn't think anything would or could. And it turned days of constant pain into weeks, months and years that I've actually been able to enjoy again. And I love talking about it because I think there are a lot of people just like me that you're probably thinking I was too. It's not going to work for me. Maybe you wake up every morning dreading the day ahead because you know you're going to hurt. I was just like that. Just try this. I tried it because my wife told me to. And my wife is usually right. But I wouldn't have tried it if it wasn't for her. Please let me be that, that prompt in your life. Just try it for three weeks. 100% drug free, developed by doctors. 70% of the people who try it for three weeks and take it as directed, order again month after month after month because it works for them. See if it'll work for you. It's less than a dollar a day. 800 for relief. 800 the number four relief or relieffactor.com.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Nicole it is always great to talk. I think about our conversations a lot. I mean, we've talked a couple of times, maybe three times. And, and I can't believe that how much we have in common as people. But also I can't, I can't believe that I'm talking to RFK's running mate about health. I mean, look, I'm not, you know, I'm not the picture of health. But I agree with, I think almost everything you guys are doing and I'm baby stepping it. You know what I mean? You guys are teaching me. But I have had this feeling for a long time our lifestyle is not good. Our food is not good. You know, you go over my, my wife's family is from Italy and they just eat differently and they're healthier and I just, there's something wrong, there's something wrong with our pharmaceutical companies. And I've, 25 years ago, 30 years ago, I was better living through pharmaceuticals.
Nicole Shanahan
Wow.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
We're, it's weird how you've kind of come towards the conservatives, and so many conservatives have come towards you. And we're not in separate corners anymore. We have so much we agree on.
Nicole Shanahan
And, you know, I think one of the core principles of health too, is vitality and truth. Truth to yourself, truth to God. And that is something that I will say that Maga and the conservatives talk about very, very successfully. And Maha has something to learn from Maga, because spiritual vitality, and I'm learning more and more about it, is a foundation for health as well, as much as food and soil is. And they go together.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
They do.
Nicole Shanahan
They really go together. The Bible is a handbook for how to work with soil.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
I think. I gotta tell you, I think looking at the Bible as a handbook, you understand now why at least men aren't reading it. Because we don't read handbooks on anything. But it is. It is a handbook on all of life. Really. How do you mean for soil? I've never heard that.
Nicole Shanahan
Well, you know, Genesis talks about tilling, that over tilling is not good and that you should not till. And those who till are not going to be in favor with God. I mean, when we really think about the Bible as both a handbook and a contract.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah, yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
There's so much about nature in it. And my partner and I, Jacob, fiance and I, we just watched the Passion of Christ for the first time last night.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Wow. And are you. Were you religious? Are you religious?
Nicole Shanahan
I've always loved understanding spirituality and religions. I wrote my college thesis on constitutional religious freedoms in India and China, and I compared the two because these were both promulgated in the 50s, and, you know, they had never had formal government laws around religion in a constitutional way and enshrined on behalf of the people. And so I was always fascinated with the fact that there's so many of these religions out there in the world. And I backpacked around in college and tried to learn about them all.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah. My father used to say, study all of them and where they intersect. That's true.
Nicole Shanahan
That's true. You know, you talked about your father in one of our earlier interviews. He sounds like a really extraordinary person.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
He was.
Nicole Shanahan
He was the bakery story with the woman that came in with a food stamp.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
And accepting it and the. The, you know, the full big guy coming in with a food stamp.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
And your father is like, these are different.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right. I didn't understand why he was treating the. The healthy guy.
Nicole Shanahan
Yeah.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Differently than. Because he was angry at the healthy guy and the old lady. He wasn't. And I'm like, they're spending the same food stamp. And he's like, one, one can work, one can pull their own weight, chooses not to. The other one cannot.
Nicole Shanahan
Yes.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
And those are the people that this is for.
Nicole Shanahan
And one is preying on the system and one is actually in need.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
And how do you discern?
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
So that lesson of discernment, you know, it's interesting. I've thought about that a lot as well because I've really been trying to understand what is the spiritual illness in our country and particularly with the Democrats and liberalism, like what happened to liberalism. And it really is, they're, they've lost that discernment.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
You know, do you think, do you think that. I mean, I believe you. You have to be tethered to truly understand America. You have to either intellectually understand the Judeo Christian values or spiritually. But you can't. You. The whole thing falls apart because it requires the individual to be responsible. And I know, you know, I know Penn Jillette. I'm good friends with Penn Jillette, love him. He's, you know, an atheist or agnostic, but he self regulates. So I don't have a problem with Penn and he doesn't have a problem with me. But if you don't self regulate, it just, you just spiral, spiral out of control. And all of society does.
Nicole Shanahan
Yeah, yeah. And it's what I'm learning about, the Bible in particular. And you know, you asked me like, have you always been a religious person? I've always been a deeply spiritual person, a loving person, a person who's always cared about solving misery and suffering, which is how I ended up getting, you know, really deep into what spiraled into wokeism. You know, it was, it was because I cared so much. I cared about injustice, I cared about helping people out in need. I wanted to fix the criminal justice system because I didn't want innocent people or people who could be rehabilitated, treated like animals. And so that's how I got wrapped up in this. And I will say a lot of what I talked about today on stage was how that emotional manipulation or blackmail, it has been co. It has been co opted by these very odd forces in America that prey on people who care so deeply. And they're like, well, you need to care about this. And now you need to care about this. And they're pointing people in ways to group them and clump them and control.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Them at the same time, controlling them by saying, you can't make it without us. You, you have to be with us. And you can't make it out in the world without they.
Nicole Shanahan
And nobody else cares about you, especially those Malaga people. They really don't care about you. And we're the only ones who are going to give you any hope at all. And you have to be patient with the rate at which you're going to get anything from us. It's really dark.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah. I find it amazing on the outside. I find it amazing that it works, that so many people are still locked into that. You know, I mean, I understand it, how it happens, because I was locked into. I was a Republican in 2020. I haven't been a Republican since about 2007, you know, and I was like, okay, our side doesn't work.
Glenn Beck
And I learned more and more about.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Our side, quote, unquote, and realized, I don't want to be a part of that club. I'm just for the Constitution and everybody, you know, the Bill of Rights. And it shocks me that more people, because it's been so blatant now that it's a crazy train that you're on.
Nicole Shanahan
On the left, you know, I see good people like Marianne Williamson ready to ju.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Oh, really?
Nicole Shanahan
Oh, I think so.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Wow.
Nicole Shanahan
I think she's close. People have held out hope that if they just be inspiring enough, if they just keep trying hard enough, that they will get the results they're looking for by working alongside these establishment, powerful people.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
And also this idea of like a. A quid pro quo. Right. Like, and I tried that with Chuck Schumer. I was like, look, I'll help you. You know, when that Georgia runoff secure a Senate majority, if. If you push regenerative agriculture in the Senate. And I was like, here's a movie. And so I produced a movie for Kiss the Ground. And I was like, why don't you just show this in the Senate? Give people who. Who claim to care about climate, get. Get them a real solution.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
And, you know, they look at us. I mean, I feel so dumb now. Like, how.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
No, you're not dumb. It's just. I was that way, too. I believed in the system. And it's like, it's not real. It's been corrupted.
Nicole Shanahan
It's been remarkably corrupted. And you just try. And I see this here at Amfest. You have really, really good people here.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
And they are looking for a path to put their energy. They're looking for people that they believe are virtuous. That is what these young people. And they can smell it out faster than I think we could when we were younger, because they get so Many more data points.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yep.
Nicole Shanahan
Social media is flooding them with information constantly. And because they're young and, you know, their brains are constantly processing where the highest energy virtue is going to be. And I think that's what we saw in this last election. It was a lot of young people.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
So what do you think? What do you think's coming? The other side is. I mean, you saw this firsthand. Yeah, they, they, they would have slit.
Glenn Beck
Both your throats and left you bleeding.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
In an alley if they could. They're ruthless.
Nicole Shanahan
They're. They're ruthless. They are. They will never stop, it seems, unless you kind of have enough people that make them kind of throw their hands up and be like, you know, peace, Peace. Right, but, but look, I'm not saying that in like a. This is the non violent version.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
No, no, I know.
Nicole Shanahan
Calling them out.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
Like, and it's not necessarily using force. Like, they can actually be cornered with intellect and institution alone. So if we build the combative institutions, which is what this media row is. I mean, holy moly, this media row is so impressive. I just saw a friend from law school, CEO of Blaze.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
I mean, how cool is that?
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah. Like, this didn't exist 10 years ago.
Nicole Shanahan
We corner them by taking the energy out of, you know, the air out of their sale.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yep.
Nicole Shanahan
And you know, I gotta say, what you guys are doing with media, and I don't even want to call it conservative media, it's just honest media. You guys opened up a forum for Bobby and I without a second thought, and it was really cool to see. And so it's the honest media. It's what the fourth estate was meant to be.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
And it's here right now. I mean, like, we're literally standing in a room of thousands of people representing that right now.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
I know it's pretty, it's pretty exciting to live at this time, but it's a little frightening as well.
Nicole Shanahan
It's frightening. Look, this past week, Governor Newsom in California issued and signed through an Emergency executive order, H5N1. And it seems, you know, if you read the reports, they're like two cats have died from it.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Confirmed. I know. Like, well, one. Well, one farmer in Louisiana now has apparently died from it, who got it from his cat. And I, I thought, well, if we use that logic, then we have to shut down all the Amish farms in Pennsylvania from selling raw milk. I mean, it is crazy. What?
Nicole Shanahan
There's no discernment, None. No logic. If you read this, I think it's a five page executive Order. It's really scary. You can envision what they want to do with this. You know, government officials in hazmat suits coming on a farms, confiscating, destroying livestock.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
You know, it's weird. This is, this is for a different reason. This is what FDR did. He slaughtered millions of pigs.
Nicole Shanahan
Oh, my God, millions.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
And they just burned them. And he did it to balance the pig market. And it's like, what are you doing?
Nicole Shanahan
Well, you know, we just found out one of the big dairies in California just started a raw milk vertical because the market for raw milk is so big in California and its unmet needs.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
Like the stuff's flying off the shelves.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
So, you know, we're looking at, we're like, what could possibly be the reason for shutting down Raw Farm, which is the largest family owned.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
Raw dairy, not just in California, but the whole United States.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
They shut them down.
Nicole Shanahan
Oh, they shut them down. They're coming back because these guys can't be shut. I mean, they're tenacious.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Good.
Nicole Shanahan
They're coming back in hopefully a week. But they had to move their entire operation out of the Central Valley to be like, look, the infected cows are there, not here. And so, I mean, they're doing. They are so clever. I mean, the will of the good people of this country to feed and nourish is above and beyond. I was just in El Salvador, met with President bukele. They import 80% of their food and they're trying to figure out where to find these great farmers. And I'm like, we have them. We have so many of them here in America and we treat them horrible.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
I know one of the things that has always bothered me is conservatives have always been told or been called, you know, earth killers. And, you know, we're just horrible human beings and we don't respect. Yeah, we hate nature. Yeah, the farmers hate nature. The farmers partner with nature. They may not, they may not understand, you know, the latest or the newest studies on things, but they, they know my crop's not growing. This is not good. I can't keep planting the same crop or whatever it is. They know those things. I care about my, my grass and my land because my cows are on it. I want the land to be healthy, so my cows are healthy.
Nicole Shanahan
They call themselves a lot now grass farmers. Yeah, it's really cool to think about cattle that way and farming that way. That to feed your cattle and to feed humans good nourishing meat.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
You got to be a grass farmer.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah, you do. Yeah, I'm A grass farmer. I'm a grass farmer.
Glenn Beck
All right. I want you to imagine for a second that you've made a horrible, horrible decision, one that's going to cost an innocent person his or her life. I can't even imagine that. But that's what. That's what these really scared moms have to do when they're considering abortion. What they would give to undo maybe that decision. Well, there's some new things that could actually give mom a second chance. The abortion pill now accounts for over 60% of all abortions, and it's available pretty much 24. 7. It has been. Once you give the abortion pill and take it, it's over. But now they're doing work with not just the free ultrasounds for the expecting moms. They're also administering reversal protocol for women who have attempted abortion but want a second chance to have their baby live. Preborn. They've rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion, and every day, on average, they rescue 200 more. And when a woman is considering abortion and hears her baby's heartbeat, she sees that baby on ultrasound, the baby's chance at life is doubled. So start the new year right, by supporting life. One ultrasound is just $28. 140 will help rescue five babies.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Will you help?
Glenn Beck
Just dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby. Or donate securely@preborn.com Beck. That's preborn.com Beck.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
We are in a place now where big food is frightening. Why is it that Canada and others don't. Because I work with a guy who is. He's all stats and he's like, you know, all this is crap, you know, with the red dye number seven. And. And I guess if I was only having Froot Loops and everything else I had was. Didn't have any red dye in it.
Nicole Shanahan
Yeah.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
You know, maybe that. That bowl of Froot Loops that I have once a month, maybe I wouldn't get affected. But this is the accumulative effect, right. It's in everything. And that's the problem. Because if I understand right, the food companies only have to say it's not unhealthy at this dose, Correct? Correct. And that means a bowl of Froot Loops. It doesn't mean plus the Hostess cupcakes and, you know, all of the other things that have that chemical in it, Right?
Nicole Shanahan
Yeah. You know, the pharmaceutical companies gave them that playbook. That's where that comes from. So there's all of these residual contaminants in making drugs, and there's some vaccines that they use, something that creates cyanide. It results in the creation of cyanide. And it's, you know, it's micrograms. It's a small amount. And so they say you're stupid for thinking that could ever have an impact on a human such a small amount.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
And. And so then they'll use another one with a similar kind of standard. Very, very toxic, or, you know, small amounts of contamination which can't be detected are fine. As long as they're, again, in small enough amounts, the human body can just flush it out through their liver. But if we do that now with all. A lot of our food, many of our medicines, including the, you know, the aerosols we're breathing from the cloud seeding, it's real. Cloud seeding is real.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Remind me to come back. Yeah, remind me to come back to that, but go ahead.
Nicole Shanahan
And so the threshold that your body can take in recovering from these exposures, it wears down over time. We're batteries. Right. The human body is a battery that has a finite amount of energy, but it's constantly recharging itself. And the problem is we're metabolically fatigued. Our livers are working and our kidneys are working way too hard. And that's why I compare this to slavery. You know, what's the difference between fair work and slavery? It's usually you overwork. It's unfair work.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right.
Nicole Shanahan
And we're putting our bodies in a state of that kind of slavery to these toxins. It's not fair. It's not fair to ourselves.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Well, I have to tell you, I think you are at the right place at the right time, you and Bobby, because I think America is awakening to this. We just. There is just a sense that people have, you know, Thomas Jefferson, trust the people. They're going to get it wrong, but eventually they'll get it right. And there is this awakening that is happening on so many fronts.
Nicole Shanahan
I'm grateful.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right. And it's. It is amazing to see it and to live at this time and see it and see how we're gonna navigate through.
Nicole Shanahan
Yep.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Let me go back to cloud seeding. Yeah, yeah. You see the chemtrails, you see the videos on. You know, it's real.
Nicole Shanahan
It's happening.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah. I saw somebody in England, a farmer, and he's like, I just want you to look this. I have no insects here. There are no insects in this tree. There should be insects. I can't grow my crops the way used to, and he points up and he shows the grid pattern of the chemtrails. And he said, I'm going to stop recording now. And in three hours, at three in the afternoon, every day, I'll show you. It'll be cloudy. What are we doing?
Nicole Shanahan
So sunlight is, you know, Jesus talks about sunlight too. And Jacob told me last night, he's reading Mark and he was like, hey, Jesus didn't like winter because he needed more sunshine. And I giggled and I was, you know, it's true. Like life, all life, human life, bug life, dirt life, soil life, animal life, crop life. It all requires sunshine. And I can't think of anything more nefarious than blocking out the sun without communal consent or coordination. It is, I think, at the top of the list for me. I mean, poisoning babies once they're born, too. That's top of the list. But sunshine is really important.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
It is not only important. I think it's evil. But it is also the height of arrogance that you can decide, I'm going to change the weather, I'm going to change how much sunlight. Everything, not just my neighbors, but everything gets. It is. It's, it's the height of arrogance.
Nicole Shanahan
It's. It's arrogance. If it didn't hurt us and the fact that it is hurting us, it's tyranny. And I think it's. There's a criminal. I think it's criminal.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Oh, I think so too. So who's doing it and why?
Nicole Shanahan
So I've interfaced with some of these groups. They. It's existential threat. Philanthropists, there's a lot of them. And so they are.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Global warming is an existential threatened. We have to block the sun so we're not getting hot.
Nicole Shanahan
And we need the power for total geoengineering capacity. But in order to do that, we need to start testing. And so just like the drone operators, they're these little. They're companies, they get funded a huge amount by one of these nonprofits. The nonprofits will then like, pump out all the validation for why it's necessary, and then you'll get a startup, and then the same philanthropist will privately fund the startup. And then the government will be involved because they'll grant clearance. And then if it is something that looks, you know, like a kickback, they'll give a government kickback to funding the program too. So that's how all of this stuff happening in the sky comes about. The drone companies, those are all, those are all private government contractors. That's what we're seeing.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
To what end?
Nicole Shanahan
On That I know. To what end does this inquiry go? It's misguided at best, and it's. It's the work of the devil at worst. Right. But I. It. It is within that range, and I'm certain of it.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
You. Now, you invoked the devil metaphorically or you think you know.
Nicole Shanahan
This is why I have spent time with the Bible and Christianity.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Notice you're wearing a cross.
Nicole Shanahan
Yeah. Yeah. This year taught me a lot. And it taught me that of all of the, you know, intellectual experiences I've had with spirituality, there's only one book, and that is the New Testament that helps you understand how to go up against evil, like to really arm yourself for it. Old Testament has some of it, too, but the New Testament really does teach you how to do it with a great deal of grace and faith.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Have you read Paul's sermon on Mars Hill? Oh, I have to send it to you because I have it all marked up. It is. He comes to Mars Hill, to Greece, and he knows very intellectual place. And Mars Hill was where all ideas were discussed, and they were discussed in front of the elders. And if you were kind of dismissed, you were kind of dismissed from society, you know, in a way, that idea. And he knew he had to present an idea that none of them would agree with, that there's only one God.
Nicole Shanahan
Yeah.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
And so he goes there, he studies their culture, he studies their poetry, he studies their music, and he studies all their gods. And he finds that there's a temple of the unknown God.
Nicole Shanahan
Wow.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
And he says. When he approaches, he says, and it's written a little differently in the Bible, but I'm paraphrasing the way it is actually in the scriptures, which is, you know, I'm here as a guest. And you guys are so religious. I am, too. And you're so religious. And I've seen it in your poetry and in your music. And I saw this temple of the unknown God. I know who that God is. Okay? So he. He loved them, he learned about them, he spoke their language, and that way he could communicate. Right now, I mean, I think that is the best lesson on how to communicate with each other that that's ever been written. It's really phenomenal.
Nicole Shanahan
I. I have to agree with that. Having, you know, been to some of these temples around the world and seeing, you know, the various altars and the. Even the various interpretations of the Buddha, there's, like, thousands and thousands of interpretations of the Buddha. There's like the sleeping Buddha, the laughing Buddha, the intellectual Buddha, the angry Buddha. Like, there's so angry Buddha. I mean, not vengeful. But, you know, there's. There's this. We've always been trying to Architect. Architect. Type these energies in the world. And. And I, I love this story that you just described because almost all of these have, like, the unknown, the mystery. The mystery God.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Yeah.
Nicole Shanahan
I've come across that in my travels.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
That's interesting.
Nicole Shanahan
Yeah.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
What has to happen with Bobby to. I, I, you know, I've said this several times. It's like we're living in a movie. Have you felt this way? We're living in, like, a Jason Bourne movie at times. And.
Nicole Shanahan
Yeah. With all of the related drama.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Right. And what Bobby is doing, what Donald. Donald Trump is doing, what Elon is doing, they are coming up to the most powerful forces on earth. And in every movie that I've ever seen, those guys commit suicide or they're thrown off a building or there's an accident.
Nicole Shanahan
You know, not this time.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Not this time.
Nicole Shanahan
You know, I have to say, there's been so many good people that have met kind of untimely deaths that have stood up to big pharma and mystery deaths and things like that. And those names. We got to speak those names because those whistleblowers are the reason why we're able to get a Trump and Bobby and Elon out there. I mean, Trump, Bobby and Elon are only there because many people have sacrificed and they know it. And I think that's what makes them. In moments where they have to make a hard decision, I think they're reminded of that and they can maintain their virtue.
Bobby Kennedy Jr.
And is he prepared for the. I guess he would be, being a Kennedy. He knows what he stands against the machinery of the government and even in your campaign. He knows. But is he prepared to face all of that? That's great.
Nicole Shanahan
He's prepared. I mean, look, he was prepared to be president. Yeah, he was prepared to be president. He was prepared to do whatever it takes to fix hhs. And I think that this partnership was really divined. I see it here in these halls.

Podcast Summary: The Glenn Beck Program, Episode 242 | "You’ve Been Poisoned & Didn’t Know It" featuring Nicole Shanahan
Introduction
In Episode 242 of The Glenn Beck Program, released on January 25, 2025, host Glenn Beck engages in a profound conversation with Nicole Shanahan, a former Vice Presidential candidate, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a staunch advocate for America's health. The episode delves into the shifting political landscape, the decline of liberalism, national health crises, and pressing environmental concerns. Beck also features insights from Bobby Kennedy Jr., who joins the discussion to expand on these critical issues.
1. Shifting Political Coalitions and the Decline of Liberalism
Glenn Beck opens the episode by highlighting the unexpected alliances forming across the political spectrum. He remarks, “Donald Trump is once again the President of the United States. Thanks in no small part to a growing coalition I never expected to find on our side of the aisle” ([00:34]). Beck discusses how traditional liberalism is waning as former Democratic voters like Nicole Shanahan and influential figures such as Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy Jr. gravitate towards conservative ideologies.
Nicole Shanahan echoes this sentiment, stating, “I've really been trying to understand what is the spiritual illness in our country and particularly with the Democrats and liberalism, like what happened to liberalism” ([09:00]). She attributes the decline to a loss of discernment and an inability to align with core principles of vitality and truth.

Shanahan criticizes the entanglement of big pharma with political entities, remarking, “What happened to liberalism? Since when are the Democrats in bed with big pharma, big food, big business?” ([00:34]).
Bobby Kennedy Jr. adds to the critique, saying, “There's something wrong with our pharmaceutical companies” ([05:29]). The discussion emphasizes the detrimental impact of overreliance on pharmaceuticals and highlights the need for a more holistic approach to health.

Bobby Kennedy Jr. reflects on his family legacy and personal beliefs, emphasizing responsibility and self-regulation as foundational to understanding America. He states, “You have to be tethered to truly understand America. You have to either intellectually understand the Judeo-Christian values or spiritually” ([09:20]).

4. The Role of Media and Information Dissemination
The duo discusses the pivotal role of media in shaping public perception and political discourse. Shanahan praises The Glenn Beck Program and similar platforms for providing “honest media” that serves as the fourth estate, vital for holding power accountable ([16:06]). They acknowledge the overwhelming influence of social media, stating, “Social media is flooding them with information constantly” ([14:38]), which affects the younger generation's ability to discern truth from misinformation.

Shanahan warns of the long-term health effects of environmental toxins, explaining, “The human body is a battery that has a finite amount of energy, but it's constantly recharging itself. And the problem is we're metabolically fatigued” ([24:18]).
Kennedy corroborates these concerns with eyewitness accounts, stating, “I saw somebody in England, a farmer, and he's like, I just want you to look this. I have no insects here” ([25:50]).
