In the first half, Jeffrey Smith, a prominent advocate against genetically modified organisms (GMOs), shared his deep concerns about the technology and its implications for public health and the environment. He recounted his initial interest in GMOs, sparked by a 1996 lecture from a genetic engineer who warned of the inherent dangers of the technology. Smith emphasized that the release of GMOs into the environment is irreversible, as they self-replicate, potentially affecting future generations. He noted that while awareness of GMOs spiked around 2012, the conversation has since diminished, leading to the rise of "stealth GMOs" that consumers unknowingly ingest.
Further, he expressed alarm over the new generation of genetic engineering techniques, particularly CRISPR, which he believes poses even greater risks. Governments are being convinced to deregulate gene editing, allowing individuals to buy CRISPR gene editing labs and create their own GMOs. Such deregulation could lead to unforeseen and potentially disastrous ecological consequences, he stated.
Smith pointed to a correlation between the rise of GMOs and an increase in various health issues, stating, "85% of the people we surveyed said they had digestive problems that got better when they switched to non-GMO and organic foods." Speaking of specific products, he was critical of the Impossible Burger, which uses a form of synthetic biology to engineer soy and microorganisms to produce a patty that has the taste and texture of beef. But on a positive note, he reported a recent victory for advocates when a federal court ruled against lax regulations by the USDA. "The turning a blind eye to all, virtually all, GMOs, is no longer allowed," he remarked about the ruling.

Author and filmmaker Richard Martini uses hypnotherapy, mediumship, and guided meditations to access information from other realms or what he calls the "Flipside." In the latter half, he reported on what deceased people are saying, as he aims to uncover truths about both the afterlife and unsolved mysteries, as well as his interviews with alien beings. Speaking of his research into Amelia Earhart and the mystery of her disappearance, he said there are eyewitness accounts of her life after her plane crashed. She lived through the crash and was taken to Saipan (near Guam in the Pacific) and incarcerated for seven years, he said, and eventually was buried at a Catholic cemetery on the island.
As explored in his book "Close Encounters of the Flipside Kind," he delved into what he's learned about aliens. He recounted how he facilitated a meditation with a British podcaster who admitted to having a childhood abduction experience, and this allowed Martini to interview an alien "Grey." As to why they abduct people and take biological samples, the alien told him they were taking the genetic material to a planet where the inhabitants could no longer procreate. Such agreements were made with the abductees before their earthly incarnations, in a kind of "Red Cross" cosmic collaboration, Martini further explained. The reason aliens may appear cold or unemotional, the Grey revealed, is that they are a form of "artificial intelligence" created by higher entities.
Martini also touched on his communication with the late "sleeping prophet" Edgar Cayce, who told him that in his accurate medical advice for clients he was aided by a council of seven doctors from different dimensions while in his trance state.
