[Auto-generated Transcript]

Hi and welcome to the Liberty 360 podcast a podcast from American daily Herald and this is episode number one I'm Dennis Behreandt co-founder of American daily Herald and co-host for this podcast 

And I'm Denise and I am the co-host and co-founder of American daily Herald And we're going to be bringing you this show probably about twice a week possibly a third time on the weekend for subscribers to our upcoming membership portal which you'll find out more about as we move forward. But we're going to start with a couple times per week from the get-go here. 

So for August 4th 2025 what stories are you tracking today Denise?

Today I noticed that there is an interesting health article and it is about delivering a vaccine through dental floss versus injections.

That seems first of all, it seems a kind of a novel way to go about it, but I wonder how that works who's doing the work and what's it all about? 

The study is being led by Texas Tech University and the University of North Carolina. Okay, co-author of this study Harvinger Singell Made a comment that it would be easy to administer and it addresses the concerns many people have being vaccinated with needles.

Wow, I have some concerns about this. This seems that it could be easily abused

Yeah, and in this article it did mention that it would make people who are worried about needles more compliant to getting these vaccines And so the first thing again that makes me concerned about that is if they lace commercially available(...) dental floss with these vaccination compounds how many people are going to be aware of that if that happens in the future now maybe that sounds crazy But in the context of what just happened a few years ago with COVID-19 when they were looking for forcibly vaccinating people Do we really think that they wouldn't try some sort of sneaky effort to mass inoculate people using technologies like this and other ones?

That could be scary. Yeah, I wouldn't put it past them. I don't know if you would So I'm a little leery of this kind of research you'd like to think it's going to be you know rolled out to the public in such a way that everything is trustworthy, but

The whole COVID-19 experience. I think teaches pretty conclusively that these These kinds of tech these types of technologies and the regulatory bodies that enable their use aren't necessarily trustworthy They're they're very authoritarian and I think a lot of people are concerned about that There's another study that I saw coming out of Canada

Related to something called aero vax, which is being developed You know primarily in Canada and maybe entirely in Canada and the idea is that's an aerosolized Vaccine and again, I think the idea would be that wouldn't be given to anyone other than in a nasal spray That's the way the study is set up It seems like but this raises all sorts of worries right away with people after what happened with COVID that oh, they're gonna mass Inoculate people through an airborne delivery method and I think people are all right to be concerned about that. Mm-hmm(...) Because we certainly saw some terrible things with COVID-19 and the reaction by public health authorities in one state in the Midwest the governor was so Fanatical about enforcing public health so-called public health That kitchens that made donuts were shut down. Mm-hmm. And you know, if you take away donuts from the Midwest

You know, I got it

So moving on from public health and the ways they can inoculate you without letting you know, they're inoculating you what other stories are you tracking today? though Canadian wildfires and the air quality alerts and and we felt it I mean, I've had a sore throat and it's hard to breathe and hell. Yeah Well, the smoke has been thick headaches the smoke's been thick everywhere Yeah, it has been. It's been particularly bad in the northern Midwestern states But there's reports of really thick smoke in places like Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit even further south and east than that and that's not healthy for anyone and it's all coming from the really massive amount of wildfire activity in Canada and I think I read that it's possibly as much as 15 million acres Wow That's been burning. Do we know why?

Well, the National Post which is a Canadian newspaper has provided a few details and it's reporting on what they think is happening And they thought earlier in the spring when the fires kicked off that that might have been caused by you know activity by people So not necessarily always arson, but sometimes arson(...) Probably sometimes controlled burns that got out of control

Not good fire control with campfires in some cases perhaps and maybe even cigarette butts various causes like that and in the springtime in the northern forest

After the snow has melted, but before it really rains it can get very dry

Maybe a lot of the trees have not really started pulling sap up out of the ground yet There's a lot of dead litter from last summer and it just is a very very dry time of year And so things can really catch fire pretty easily then later according to the National Post again(...) Lightning strikes have been a problem. Hmm. So those are the official causes of the fires. Hmm in Canada

But you know, we know that if you leave wood sitting around in the woods and it gets dry That's a fire danger and you've got to wonder what kind of forestry practices are being done in Canada

You know, it's notorious in some of the western lands in the US that Environmentalist concerns have not allowed for the removal of dead dead wood from the forests increasing the amount of combustibles that are dry and on the forest floor and You know and dead trees to have not necessarily been taken down In a lot of cases dead trees are viewed as potential habitat and food sources for some kinds of birds such as woodpeckers(...) And so those things have sometimes been been pressured to be left standing in the forest They're a good idea. They also burn. Yeah, they burn and in the northern tier of states(...) Especially the upper Great Lakes and into Canada you have increasing amounts of evergreen coverage. So balsam fir Spruces white and as you go further north black along with certain pines like jack pine One those needles dry. Yeah, not good and there have been some insect invasions Some some of these trees are a little bit susceptible to drought In drier weather and even temperature variations can sometimes cause mortality in some of these trees and when they die They are particularly when they die. They are particularly flammable what we're finding I think with these fires is that They're Causing a great deal of mayhem in the United States and not just in Canada and I think it's putting people's health at risk Oh, yeah, and you know Is it was is it not was it necessary?

You know, I don't think the climate in the northern Part of the states and in Canada has changed all that dramatically in recent years So I think there's maybe something else happening. Yeah

And that's something else may just be poor forestry practice, yeah, that's a hypothesis we can't report that for sure No, but it seems like that'd be worth looking at in any case forestry practices may need to be examined

Anyway to make sure that this doesn't happen in the future now one thing that I think might happen if I could talk a little bit more about a subject is that when these existing trees die back in these forest areas for instance black spruce and balsam fir when they die back if they aren't able to re germinate for various reasons and

Fire seasons two years in a row over the same area or three years in a row over the same areas may inhibit that Some other species of trees tend to come back first in those cases. And one of those is(...) Poplars, ooh Poplars poplars topless and they tend to fall over when they're big it but they grow very very quickly They're deciduous and they don't burn as readily So this may be a cyclical thing that's taking place and we're going to see a new growth stage of trees like poplars taking over in some of these areas that have been burned at least temporarily and As a result that they won't be as prone to fire in those areas. That would be good That'd be good because I think a lot of people in the upper Midwest are sick of not being able to go outside this summer Yeah, this has been a bad summer Well, what else are you tracking today? Well, we can get off the health topic now, maybe maybe

So I see that Farmers in France have come up with a disgusting way to get rid of squatters. Are they throwing stinky cheese at people?

No something else pretty stinky they are throwing waste on their fields and kind of Slinging it slinging it at people. What kind of waste? Common or I believe it's common or but I don't know if it's human waste as well spring heaps of waste over their farms in order to scare squatters off their turf

Let's see here. Well, I'm gonna guess it's common or because There's there's no it says News about the huge streams of manure and other excrement across the field so other excrement. Well That could mean anything that could mean anything But the common or alone would be terrible. And you know if there are anything like the farmers and the Midwest

They have a lot of common or to get rid of yeah And the way the Midwest does it is often it's liquefied right and it's transported to fields in giant tanker trucks and then it's pumped through very elaborate pumping mechanisms and then spread through those pumping mechanisms onto the field and I'd imagine if you disconnect that and pointed at somebody You're gonna put quite a few hundreds or thousands of gallons on someone in a quick hurry Yeah, they talk about a cyclist He set up his tent his little red tent in a farmer's yard and he got to the yeah, he got covered with With a waste. Well, you might have a good story for his Instagram feed

But you know, so(...) So we're used to you know them It being pumped on fields in the US, right? Right and but it's not necessarily a good thing the way it's done, right?(...) well, I think it's(...) Less than ideal in a lot of ways. Okay, so when it's pumped onto the fields I think you know, most of the farmers are trying to do it in a way that they don't have runoff(...) Into the water supply into the water shut because what's the point of pumping on your field then for fertilizer if it's just gonna run off right(...) But I think it still does run off and there's a lot of lakes that have been very negatively impacted by Algae growth because of the nutrient load that's hitting the water supply Mm-hmm, and I think in the last 20 years where this has become the normal practice That's that's been where that's coming from. I think so it's a new way of

Fertilizing their their crops, you know, they used to use not liquefied manure But you'd find farmers who would load the solid manure into you know I hate to say old-fashioned because you can still use them manure spreaders and their wagons with a conveyor belt on the bottom and(...) as they're conveyed to the farm, there's a(...) mechanism at the back that chops into the manure and throws it up behind the Behind that wagon and onto the field and I don't think that had ever been as prone to runoff Hmm, I don't think then because we never really saw the problems that occur that occur now with that approach Yeah, but I'm sure it's much less efficient. Yeah. Yeah, I know and you can't really blame the farmers because you know And but you can blame government(...) Okay

You know government has been absolutely dead set against the family farm in this country for decades and as a result family farms are gone I mean, there's a few out there. It's sad. It's nothing like it used to be and they've been replaced with huge, huge factory farms. So instead of having 10 family farms with a hundred cows each, right? Now you might have one mega farm with a thousand cows or more maybe yeah, and so those farms make a huge amount of manure because of the number of cattle involved and Probably spreading it the old-fashioned way with a manure wagon and a manure spreader like used to be done Isn't that kind of really feasible?

So this is probably more efficient. It's probably just the way it has to be because of the way government has intervened in The agritables for a marketplace. Yep. That's that's my thinking on it And I think coming from the point of view of Liberty 360 when you put government involved in something You know bad outcomes are going to occur. Yeah

So, how about you give any news stories today? Well, there's one news story out of Texas that I think is pretty hot Okay, and I think we are(...) When one hour passed Governor Abbott's deadline and I don't know what happened but Governor Abbott in Texas was dealing with a bunch of Democrat legislators who fled the state over the weekend In order not to participate in a vote and the legislature about redistricting that was potentially going to result in the loss of five Democrat seats in Texas and Governor Abbott had said earlier. I believe today or yesterday that if there was Democrats who fled the state in order to end that vote We're not going to be able to do their jobs that his authority based on what the Texas Attorney General had Had ruled his authority would allow him to replace those those legislators So his deadline for that was 3 p.m. Central, I believe Well, should we quickly take a peek? Let's take a look and see if there's any news on Governor Abbott

So the latest update on the Texas governor situation with regard to the legislators who had fled the state in order to prevent legislative action on redistricting according to Fox News a Quote a 4 p.m. Deadline having come and gone Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burroughs announced this afternoon that he would sign arrest Warrants against any absent Democrat lawmakers if he is permitted to do so So that's the latest news on that front in Texas. Well, this has been the Liberty 360 podcast from American Daily Herald Come back again, and we will have another episode for you in about two days.
