Starting point is 00:00:00 Ex-Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann joins us today. She had represented the Minnesota 6th District from 2007 to 2015. Founding member of Tea Party Caucus. Currently, Ms. Bachmann is the Dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University. She has been sounding the alarm about the World Health Organization's so-called treaty. It's something we've been monitoring very carefully. And share her concerns. She is here to give us an update to save medical freedom.
Starting point is 00:00:32 It'll be interesting to hear whether she has gotten any traction amongst her colleagues, former or otherwise, who are serving in the U.S. Congress. Last time we talked to her, she was telling us she was having a great deal of difficulty getting them to pay attention. We're going to also show you some data on the World Health Organization's proclivity for declaring emergencies. They are already underway on a regular basis in a way that we've never seen before. So there's something going on. We'll get into it after this.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Our laws as it pertained to substances are draconian and bizarre. A psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals, but just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time, educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say. Thanksgiving is almost here, which means it's time for the best GenuCell sale of the year.

And so as I was saying, Michelle Bachman served in the U.S. Congress from 2007 to 2015, representing Minnesota's 6th District. And again, founding member of the Tea Party Caucus, currently the Dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University. And before I bring Michelle Bachman in, Caleb, I wonder if you would show us that little timeline thing you were showing about public health emergencies of international concern. So it seems like we magically had there that those are the numbers of serious public health
Starting point is 00:03:17 emergencies that have been declared, sometimes above and beyond the committee recommendations of the World Health Organization, just by the, we're going to talk about what the fiat authorities are, not only of the World Health Organization, above and beyond any duly elected sovereign official, but also within the World Health Organization, it looks like they have some problems with people exerting themselves wherever they may. So please welcome Michelle Bachman. Hello Dr. Drew, good to be with you. Such a pleasure. And so I guess the place to start is with an update. We have been monitoring this carefully since you first sounded the alarm and our audience first came to understand how
Starting point is 00:03:59 serious this is when you first visited with us. What is the update? How are your peers responding? Are they getting any traction? Where are we? Well, we're further along than we were before. We had approached several members of Congress on the U.S. Senate side and on the House side. We really hadn't gotten anywhere. But the good news is in the last month, we were able to hold an actual off-the-record hearing, you might say, at the United States Capitol on the Senate side of the Visitor Center. It was sponsored by Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. We had members of Congress attend. We had chiefs of staff attend. We had legislative directors attend. We've never had that happen before. So this was a very positive event. And we had a fact rich
Starting point is 00:04:47 presentation, probably about two hours or so of a presentation. The Epoch Times was there, the Washington Times was there, they recorded it, they live streamed it. So we had more coverage than we've had in over a year. So that was wonderful. Members of Congress are just barely starting, so they still need to hear from constituents. It's a long way off, but we went from having nothing to at least having some traction. And what helped was to have some very well-educated physicians who are there speaking about this threat. In addition to people who've been involved in finance on Wall Street, who see what a threat this will be, I was there to participate. So we had really a wonderful session.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I was grateful that we were at least able to be in the Capitol and present information. This is far more than we'd ever gotten before. But again, there's a long way to go to get people educated. But here's the other positive, Dr. Drew. We now have a change in the Speaker of the House. We have Mike Johnson, who is now the Speaker of the House. He is surrounded by people who understand this issue in a way that previous staffers, I don't think, did. And so we have a chance, I believe, to also be able to get this information before the Speaker of the House. We also have a committee chair, Representative
Starting point is 00:06:11 Chris Smith of New Jersey, who I spoke with at the Capitol, who is intending to hold a hearing, an actual hearing on this in the Capitol. So this is moving down the road. But here's the other challenge. On the other side, it's timing. We've had some meetings at the World Health Organization since you and I spoke. This coming January, there's an expectation that the proposed finalized amendments and health treaty will be presented publicly so we can read it. However, the World Health Organization has already announced they will not have their documents done in time. So according to their own rules, that means they shouldn't be allowed to proceed next May at the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland. But they're still saying, oh, no, no, we're going to proceed. Even if we violate the protocol rules, we plan to proceed. So here's the bottom line, Drew. They intend to have their final written documents done, and they'll be given
Starting point is 00:07:12 to the delegates of the World Health Assembly, essentially the members of the United Nations. And they'll just be presented with a document at the last minute that they can't possibly comprehend or have time to read. And they'll be told, okay, let's go ahead and approve it. All in favor? Aye. Great. Hit the gavel. That's what their intention is. But we have time between now and then to alert more people. Are you, when I hear you speak about the traction you're getting, I feel like my lungs can fill with air. It feels like a relief. I understand there's still a long road ahead. Are you optimistic? Are you relieved? Yeah. I am optimistic because, Drew, we've had nothing. I found out about this about a year and a half ago, and we've been progressing
Starting point is 00:08:01 this issue. Now we have legitimate credentialed professionals who are physicians, people who are in investment banking, all the rest, who actually see this. You understand this issue, Dr. Drew. Other people are beginning to understand this issue. So when you get credentialed people on board, it's difficult to say these are just crackpots because they aren't crackpots. They're very well-educated credentialed people. So we are getting somewhere.
Starting point is 00:08:29 But again, I think we've had a certain measure of divine intervention, if you will, just by the selection of Mike Johnson. And he's had to just get budgeting issues passed. I mean, they've just been treading water in the Capitol. So I think that there may be an effort afoot where we can get more hearings held on this and then hopefully pull the Biden administration in front of the House, and they need to answer questions.
Starting point is 00:08:55 They need to talk about this grab of national sovereignty from all countries on healthcare decision-making. But really, what is the bottom line that's about to be created? It is effectively a platform for global governance. And that sounds like a tinfoil hat thing to say. I assure you it is not. That's what these people intend. They want to have a huge global power grab into the United Nations. And that's what people, a lot of common people, you might say, I'm a common person. A lot of people are starting to pick up on this now. And it's always Congress is the last to know. But when Congress is finally just starting to be penetrated, that tells me we're getting a lot closer to achieving our objective. Oh, that's good. My understanding is that the nations have to turn down membership. It's some sort of opt-out is that if nations don't object,
Starting point is 00:10:07 then the amendments are deemed past. And so today we have 307 proposed amendments to the international health rules, as well as a global pandemic treaty. And what we were told last May in Geneva, Switzerland, is that the 307 amendments and the proposed international pandemic treaty would be merged into one document. They would be synthesized and the bottom line result would be the same. International healthcare decisions would be removed from national decision makers and that decision-making power would be transferred to a global governance authority like the World Health Association. So that means then that once we transfer sovereignty, that's why sovereignty is everything, once we transfer sovereignty over decision-making to the international healthcare body, which essentially is the United Nations, then we don't get that authority back. So just like President Biden announced an emergency status, we were in an emergency status in the United States for almost three years. It wasn't until May 11th of 2023 that President Biden finally lifted emergency status.
Starting point is 00:11:22 We effectively had our constitutional liberties suspended for three years here in the United States. So what President Biden is hoping to do at the World Health Organization is to allow that body that level of decision-making control so that the WHO could announce a public health emergency of international concern. In other words, emergency powers, and then we would be without remedy in the United States. We couldn't go to our congressman. We couldn't appeal to the Supreme Court. We couldn't appeal to the president because we would have already transferred sovereignty
Starting point is 00:12:01 over healthcare decision-making to the World Health Organization. That puts us in a terrible position. We have to have almost godlike trust in the World Health Organization to make decisions based upon our best interests, which is an impossibility, to think that somehow this would end well. It won't. No, it just seems so, I mean, how we have, it's so odd to me that we've gone, your most effective unit, I keep telling everybody, is a well-trained, caring physician and a properly informed, motivated patient.
Starting point is 00:12:41 And anything you do on top of that, anything, you adulterate it you make it less effective less efficient it's been bad enough dealing with hospitals and regulators and insurance companies now we're going to continue to centralize upstream all the way to the world it makes it's the most it's the most upside down idea i've ever heard of and that people aren't alarmed by it. Go ahead, please. Well, I think because of your show, people are getting alarmed by it because this is the greatest power grab in all of human history. Let that sink in.
Starting point is 00:13:18 This is the greatest power grab in all of human history. You have Stalin. You have Mao. You have Hitler. You have totalitarian dictators that have emerged, Pol Pot, all over human history. You have Stalin, you have Mao, you have Hitler, you have totalitarian dictators that have emerged, Pol Pot, all over the world. But they were a dictator either for a nation or for a region. This is a global power grab that would impact virtually every human being on earth. That's why these sorts of power grabs, you can't trust that somehow they'll end well.
Starting point is 00:13:46 It is the antithesis of what the United States government stands for and what our constitution protects and what our declaration of independence anticipated. So we would lose our bill of rights under this transfer of power. And that's why the president, President Biden, is without authority to give up national sovereignty to an international body. This is an illegal action on the part of our president. But law is one thing. That's what we've been seeing in the last three years. Law is one thing, but practice facts on the ground are another. So if you can actually have facts on the ground of power, that's outcome-based power grab. And at the end of the day, we lose power. Because again, for three years, we had an unconstitutional suspension of our civil
Starting point is 00:14:39 liberties. Well, where do we go now to get those liberties back the worst thing that we could do is fail upwards and give away that level of power to an international decision-making body that we can't trust what would do what do you for two i have two questions one is if anybody's going to push back on your position what is their criticism of what you're saying, number one? And number two, I think I've seen the World Health Organization X, some of the leaders on X, saying that this is misinformation and misinformation is rife and you don't understand. So what do you say to them and what is the other pushback you're seeing? Well, I think the pushback to your first question would be people would say, oh, that's not true. That's impossible. And that's really part of your second question, which is people who are on X from the World Health Organization saying that this is
Starting point is 00:15:37 misinformation. Well, some of the amendments that they're proposing, the 307 amendments, deal with empowering the World Health Organization to be the global censors for what they say is misinformation and disinformation. So we would have global censorship as well. Well, of course we would. If you're a totalitarian dictator, you want the power of censorship against those who oppose you. So my- So you would be misinformation. I would be misinformation. But what I would say is that the best defense is just read the 307 amendments. Just read the proposed global pandemic treaty. These people weren't shy about putting
Starting point is 00:16:21 their goals and aims on paper. This isn't the wild rantings of a former member of Congress. These are actual proposed amendments on paper and a proposed global pandemic treaty. It's words out of their own mouth. They're telling us exactly what they propose to do. And if we're wrong, then let's be proven wrong. Let's be proven wrong by those who say that this isn't what it is. Yeah. It's always amazing to me when people, when they do push back on something like this, they would say, oh, you would never use it for that purpose. No, no, no. That's not what we intend. And even that, I think to myself always, yeah, that might not be your intent, but you're given that authority. It might be somebody
Starting point is 00:17:08 else's intent, even if it's not yours. Yeah, that's right. And again, they put their words on paper for us to see. And anyone can go to the site. It's who.int. And it was the 76th World Health Assembly. Anyone can go and watch it. It's posted online, who yourself. Read the global pandemic treaty for yourself. Listen to John Kerry, the climate czar, with what he said. Listen to Tedros Ghebreyesus, the head of the WHO. Listen to all of the people who spoke, the people who were in charge of assimilating the amendments and synthesizing them with a global pandemic treaty. They're very clear about what their intention is. They're not hiding this. And I think because it's so audacious, that's why it's difficult to believe that it would be true. Who in their right mind would want to have global power to make declarations that every citizen on earth had to obey. Nobody has the wisdom or the knowledge to know how to make a decision for every human on earth. And yet these arrogant pretenders think that they have. So that's why this is just on its face. It's a patently bad idea in the first place. And so that's why I'm so grateful, Dr. Drew, that you are paying attention
Starting point is 00:18:45 to this issue. And again, don't take my word for it. Go to WHO.int, the 76th World Health Assembly. Watch these sessions for yourself, and you'll see what I saw. Read it for yourself. If you disagree, that's fine. But we need to make sure and ensure that the World Health Assembly never gets power over the healthcare decisions for American citizens. Can you review for people who may not have been listening the last time you were on the program, what is included in this treaty in terms of climate and animal well-being and, you know, micro schist well-being. Apparently geology gets well-being at equivalent status to humans. Can you review some of that for us? Well, these documents show the arrogance of how the decision
Starting point is 00:19:42 makers view themselves. They view themselves as individuals who literally are in control of every aspect in our lives. They believe that they can make, call the shots for every area of our life. One area, for instance, that they spoke about was, as you mentioned, misinformation, disinformation, censorship. They ascribe to themselves the power to decide what is misinformation, what is disinformation, and how we need to be censored in our speech. So just that alone is a tremendous power grab. We see how communist China utilizes censorship of speech for its citizens. And it's that level of censorship that is being
Starting point is 00:20:26 projected for the future for all of us. That's nothing that Americans have been used to other than during COVID. We saw those levels of censorship and certainly we don't want to see that in the future. Also, they talk about an area called One Health. And One Health looks at the environment, which by shorthand, I would say dirt, trees, that's the environment. Then they look at animals, which includes insects, cockroaches, and then they say humanity, which is human beings, people who breathe. So One Health envisions that decision-making will be made in a grid where humans will equal animals, cockroaches, which equals dirt, or over the needs of flora or fauna, or they won't elevate the needs of humans over a cockroach or over a bee. So decision-making de-elevates the humans and instead actually elevates dirt and the environment over the needs of humans. I mean, this is bizarre stuff. This is strange stuff. This is not the type of society that we're used to, but we're looking
Starting point is 00:21:52 at a level of power where decisions can be justified based upon this very small elite and group. And also these documents envision something they call the Council of the Parties. The Council of the Parties is a fancy way of saying, we're going to have a very small group of elites, and these elites will meet in a sort of perpetual constitutional convention. So they can pass a global pandemic treaty and the amendments this coming May, so they can pass whatever they want. But it includes this thing called Council of the Parties. And so it's very convenient for these elites. So anything that they don't like, they never have to come back again and ask the nations for permission. This little tiny group of elites will meet for the Council of the Parties,
Starting point is 00:22:41 and they'll perpetually be able to just change rules and make rules any way they want at any given time without ever having to go back to get it ratified by all 193 member nations. It's very convenient. It is a complete dictatorial power grab. Like I said, it is the greatest grab of power in 5,000 years of recorded human history. That's why it's important that we pay attention, that we don't just slough this off, because once the deed is done next May, if in fact it does get done, it will change our lives completely going forward. The Council of the Party sounds like something from Game of Thrones. I mean, it really sounds fictional, like it's something in some sort of sci-fi movie. Well, you can't believe it. No, you can't believe it.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I agree. It's insane. I've read these documents. I've read other documents before on really terrible ideas. I'm a federal tax litigation attorney. That's my background. I've been a researcher on educational projects and issues. And I've served in the Minnesota State Senate.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I served in the United States Congress. I sat on the Intelligence Committee where all we did is study Islamic terrorists You've read bad ideas. So I've read a lot of really bad, terrible ideas. This is probably the worst idea drew I've ever read and I honestly didn't want to get involved in this fight I've gotten involved in a lot of fights and this is a bad one and it's it goes up at the international level
Starting point is 00:24:13 and you're just dealing with a lot of unsavory characters and it's I'm wondering who are the major funders last time we were talking about how the Chinese Communist Party was in there. It certainly sounds like they would welcome this sort of authority, particularly if they have any sort of financial control over the organization. Who is funding this and what what are the funders who are not us? I know taxpayers are as well. What are they thinking about all this? Well, you're right, Drew. We provide the number one source of funding. We always do. We're always the patsy in the United States. We pay for terrible
Starting point is 00:24:51 ideas. So we're the number one funder. But Bill Gates has been a big funder. So here we have the World Health Organization. Why in the world is a private billionaire, Bill Gates, allowed to take his money in? And rather than the United States having the number one voice in sway, it's actually Bill Gates who's having his way together with the Communist Chinese Party, but also his organization known as GAVI, G-A-V-I. They have a big voice in this as well. They're the ones that are pushing all the pharmaceuticals and the vaccines, as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. When I was in Geneva, Switzerland, attending the World Health Assembly last May, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was in town conveniently during the assembly, having their presence and meeting
Starting point is 00:25:47 with those who are at the foundation. So Bill Gates, I would say is probably the individual who's having the most influence privately, but he's working in conjunction with the communist Chinese, with Gavi and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, because these vaccines work for them. During COVID, there's a lot of money that was made. A lot of billionaires were made during the COVID era of about a three-year period. And it isn't just money. I really have come to believe it has almost more to do with control than it does with money. Because Bill Gates has his own agenda, and he's the one who'd have to be probably questioned more on that. But he has an agenda clearly,
Starting point is 00:26:33 and he's determined that he's going to get his way. Wow. Well, listen, I have to take a quick break here. When we come back, I want to throw up some of that data I was showing at the beginning in terms of these public health emergencies of international concern and who's doing it and how silly some of it has been and how frequent it is becoming and what a change it is from the past. Michelle, is there somewhere you'd like people to go?
Starting point is 00:27:02 I guess stopthewho.org, is that where you're referring people? Yeah, I think that's an excellent site to send people at. I'm the dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University. So if an individual PhD programs, master's programs, and we're trying to credential people who actually know something who can fight back against all of, all of these really bad ideas. So people can reach me at regent.edu type in Michelle Bachman and you can get to me and I'll be happy to communicate with people. That's Michelle Bachman. We'll take a little break. Be right back.

Yeah, Director General, which sounds a little bit similar to uh what does uh gg ping call himself the uh but anyway but okay we put put it back up there again okay yeah yeah no i think it is like look up susan gg bing's title uh he declared the current monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern,
Starting point is 00:32:31 and overrid himself, was overriding the World Health Organization Emergency Committee, which decided against this having been a public health emergency of international concern. And of course, it was not. It was a highly localized viral outbreak in a specific risk population. And it was not of international concern. It was certainly, of course, a public health concern, of course, of concern to the men who suffered this thing. And definitely the caretakers, we should be an infectious disease community watching carefully,
Starting point is 00:32:55 like we always do when we take care of our patients. What is he doing overriding the very committee that he serves? Well, it was a public health emergency, a political concern. That's what it was. It was meant to be another power grab, because if you can state that something is a public health emergency of international concern, then again, all sorts of other powers are triggered. And the United Nations then has the right to go into the nation that he has designated and make certain demands and have certain powers that they didn't have before in that nation. So this shows us before they even transferred this level of power
Starting point is 00:33:41 that they're hoping to next May, that this level of power has already been abused. Gibratius is not a medical doctor himself. So here he is, at least Dr. Fauci was a medical doctor, but he got so many calls wrong. And we have Gibratius, who's not a medical doctor, overriding the power structure. So clearly, they have no intention of following rules. They have no intention of being restrained. The beauty of the United States government is that whether it's executive, judicial, or legislative, our government initially was meant to have jurisdictional limits that each branch of government can act so far and no further. Unfortunately, we've seen that those jurisdictional boundaries have been crossed.
Starting point is 00:34:28 But supposedly, with the passage of amendments and the whole process with the global pandemic treaty, there should be limits on power. But Gibracius has showed he doesn't recognize limits on power, just like this committee of the parties will literally have no limits on power. It is whatever they want. So it is a global dictatorship, effectively, that's being envisioned. And this is their declarations, a timeline of declarations starting, what is that like 2015 Caleb? Yeah it actually it starts at 2005
Starting point is 00:35:08 but the first one is like right around between 2009 and 2010 and then all of a sudden if you're looking closer at the chart around 2015 they start declaring more and then it's like in the space of about five or six years they declare like six of them all at once all of a sudden is
Starting point is 00:35:23 a public health emergency of international concern that this is what they're trying to get power i'm guessing i'm guessing the 2005 little marker there is uh h1n1 which was a reasonable international concern what's interesting about that particular outbreak is no one even knows that one happened because they didn't upset the functioning of society for that one, which killed 300,000 people, mind you. And it was brutal. I had that one. It was a terrible virus. And that was always my point is like, that was one that was a pandemic. And that one, you don't know it happened. The next one, you upended the world for. What the heck? Isn't there an intermediate zone
Starting point is 00:36:09 where we can make decisions and use our judgment and make risk-reward analyses that are a little more nuanced than either we don't even tell you about it versus we make you shelter in place and close your businesses and livelihood and destroy your mental health? You know, during the hearing that we just had in Washington, D.C., sponsored by Senator Ron
Starting point is 00:36:30 Johnson of Wisconsin, Dr. David Bell gave an excellent presentation. One of the most salient points that he made is that, you know, pandemics are relatively rare. They're not frequent. They don't happen very often. We had the Spanish flu 100 years before we had the COVID pandemic. And he said, they're very rare. They usually don't go too terribly far. But he said, now all of a sudden, just like your graph showed, now all of a sudden, they're being declared all of the time. And again, this has more to do with an outbreak of political power grabs than it actually does medical health emergencies. Dr. David Bell is from Australia. He's a medical
Starting point is 00:37:12 doctor. He's also a PhD researcher. And so he gave incredibly brilliant information on just pandemics, the outbreaks, the frequency of the outbreaks. And so again, we're being had. We're given all this trumped up information that isn't true. And so decisions are being made on the basis of faulty data, a faulty foundation in order to justify an unjustifiable power grab, the likes of which we've never seen before. Yeah, it is something to behold here, and why there's not a major panic about this. I mean, I'd be more panicked about this
Starting point is 00:37:56 than I would have been about our latest pandemic issues. This is much more threatening to, I don't know, to our sovereignty. Well, it is. Well, I think it's very simple in that very few media outlets have talked about this. This has been out there. It's been around since 2022. We've known about these threats from the Biden administration. The Biden administration
Starting point is 00:38:25 introduced the first amendments. It was 29 amendments in 2022 to affect the same outcome, the transfer of national sovereignty. They thought they could go under the radar in 2022 when they met in Geneva, Switzerland for the World Health Assembly. It would have been the 75th World Assembly, but few people found out about it, raised a stink. And then there were some small countries that objected and thank God they did. Some small countries in Africa and South America, thank God, because they objected those amendments didn't go through. And so we didn't have this power grab happen. Now it's a little bit more high profile, but I'll tell you, when I was in
Starting point is 00:39:05 Geneva, Switzerland, there wasn't one member of the United States House of Representatives. There wasn't one member of the U.S. Senate. I didn't see the United States media covering this issue. Of course not. Of course not. The alternative media has been covering it. You've been covering this, Dr. Drew. Thank God. So now some people are getting to know that this is a real and viable threat. And your audience can read about it themselves. If they want to go to who.int, they can read the proposed 307 amendments. They can read the proposed global pandemic treaty. They should see it. And then they know for themselves that this isn't tinfoil hat
Starting point is 00:39:43 wearing, fire breathing nut cases. This is actually reality. But look at how our country is being run. I mean, if you want proof that there's problems, just look at how our country is being run today. And then this doesn't seem quite so far fetched. So the director general is the head of the World Health Organization. The general secretary is the head of the World Health Organization. The General Secretary is the head of the Chinese Communist Party. I would have a hard time distinguishing between those two titles, I must say.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Just a little bit uncomfortably close to one another. So again, I will take calls if you guys raise your hand over Twitter spaces. Caleb, I need to be made a co-host if I'm to do that. Yes, it looks like her phone just accidentally disconnected. Oh wait, she's back. Here she comes. Sorry. She's back. Oh, there we go. But it is if you have questions of Michelle Bachman
Starting point is 00:40:32 we can take them there. We're going to go for a few more minutes. By the way, it's Chairman Xi. It's not General Secretary? Susan would know. It is. Susan is very, uh concerned about the the chinese communist party involvement here she sees the long arm of that party in everything
Starting point is 00:40:49 distasteful and uh and so so it's it's uh what'd you say again it's uh president chairman chairman chairman okay i thought it was going to be like Comrade or something like that. God King or something. And if you don't have questions, that's okay too. Whoops. Why am I getting sound here? Why am I getting sound? Okay. I have to have it plugged in, unlike your previous direction.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I know former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo always referred to him as Chairman G so I think it is Chairman Susan Chairman it seems right so let me go up here and get some questions here oh now I see a lot of people with their hands up I didn't see that before Chairman isn't strong enough leader
Starting point is 00:41:41 so this is the swamp we're going to give him or her a chance to ask a question of michelle bachman uh we're gonna go for another 10 minutes or so so uh uh go ahead uh mr swamp or mrs swamp you have to unmute yourself guys that's another thing show your cartoon again caleb so people hey i'm here i'm here there we are sorry go right there hey uh i've spoke to you before drew friends of tony and uh and mr ellis um and i wanted to ask you uh about uh you know i i listened to andrew huberman who i know you're very familiar with um just the longevity. If you could go back and say, I wouldn't have taken the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:42:26 I would have. I didn't take it, but I have family members that did. What is the longevity impact? I mean, obviously, you don't have the answer, but what are your thoughts on what we've seen so far? Is this going to – well, well i mean if indeed thanks thanks man if indeed it is having the effect on uh excess mortality that some people are claiming and ed dowd and the insurance actuarial organizations have been raising some alarms lately i don't know
Starting point is 00:43:00 if you've seen john campbell's latest video but if indeed people's lives are being cut short, I don't think it will have an effect on longevity absent medical illness. The question is, is it precipitating neurological, vascular, cardiac disorders, diseases that cut life short? That's the question that needs to be answered. I don't know. I've got my ears open. I'm paying attention. Luckily, I survived the J&J vaccine,
Starting point is 00:43:31 but that was immediately taken off the market the next day. It shows you how maybe careless we were with things. We'll have to see. It's still being worked out. I see the data going back and forth. I don't know what the right answer is yet. People that have to put money where their mouth is are not ones to sort of look casually at numbers. So I tend to think that if the actuarial organizations are concerned,
Starting point is 00:43:59 we should be concerned. And Michelle, speaking of finance, my understanding as part of the World Health Organization Treaty includes some sort of takeover of the property ownership. And it's because of the World Health Organization interfacing with the World Economic Forum. And there's an overlap between both World Health Organization and World Economic Forum. And as many of your audience members know, World Economic Forum is projecting that in the future, people will own nothing and they'll be happy. So that includes the lack of ownership of public property. And how that is all going to be done has not been my area of study, but what was suggested during our hearing that we had the
Starting point is 00:45:02 capital is that taxation will be at such a level that it will be very difficult to maintain home ownership. Let's see if we get one more in here, if you don't mind. This is Tillich. Again, don't forget to unmute yourself once you come on up. And then, Michelle, I'll let you go in a few minutes here. I'm just going to make you hang on for just a second, see if anybody has anything pressing they want to ask you. Do unmute yourself there. Tillich's ghost?
Starting point is 00:45:40 Tillichum's ghost? Hmm. Till it comes ghost? Well, I have a little bit of a policy that if the unmuting does not go well, I throw you back in here. I'll tell you what, Michelle, I don't want to take any more of your time that you've already kindly given to us. It is stoptheworldhealthorganization, stop world health organization stop the who.org go there to uh to find out more and to throw your hat into the ring and is there are there things i have two last questions one is there some place people can go to watch that hearing that you had i was not a
Starting point is 00:46:19 hearing it was sort of a symposium number one and then number two, what's coming up? What are you looking forward to next? Are there things we should look for, milestones, meetings, hearings, whatnot? And when? Yes, the Epoch Times, I think if you go to the Epoch Times archive, their site, they would have the posting of the hearing. You could see it in its entirety. It was excellent. It's gone out to a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:46:52 They've really enjoyed the information because the information was from very credible, solid physicians, financial people, and they did a marvelous job on it. And Ron Johnson was excellent. He's discouraged in a lot of ways. He was one of the strongest voices during COVID to question what the United States government was doing. And it's discouraging because not much has been done with adverse reactions. And unfortunately, you would think a lot of the physicians in Congress would be willing to come forward and say, look, we got it wrong. But you don't have even the physicians in Congress coming forward. That's been very discouraging. As to what we're looking forward to, I think it's important that the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who is a good guy, that he just hears from people to know
Starting point is 00:47:36 that they want to hear hearings on this proposed takeover of the WHO. And I think it's important that he hears that from people, that we want to have hearings, and we want to hear what the Biden administration has to say. Xavier Becerras, who is the Health and Human Services Secretary, was present in Geneva, Switzerland when I was there during the WHO meeting. And he issued all of these tweets on X now. At that time, it was Twitter. He issued all of these kind of yay, sis, boom, bah tweets as a cheerleader saying how the United States is behind this.
Starting point is 00:48:14 We're all for it. And I think these guys need to get on camera, under oath, under a subpoena, and have to testify to what they know and be confronted with what the documents say, because they have to answer for the documents, not just hyperbole the documents. And how could this even be possible under our constitutional Republican form of government? Our constitution demands and promises a Republican form of government. That's not the political party. That means a representative form of government. If we give up national sovereignty over healthcare decision-making to an international body, then we have lost a Republican form of government.
Starting point is 00:48:58 So I think that Mike Johnson will be very open to this. He was a former constitutional lawyer. And if we can get the Speaker of the House okaying hearings, I think all of a sudden we'll go from zero to 60 in terms of public awareness. And there's always a chance. I'm an eternal optimist. There's always a chance. So I don't think this is inevitable. But if good people don't do anything, this will go through because the bad guys are in charge and they want to have a dictatorship, a global dictatorship of power over health care. Michelle Bachman, thank you so much for joining us. We'll check back in with you and keep up the good fight. Thanks again, Drew. Thanks to your audience.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Thank you, Michelle. Appreciate it. So I want to... She's awesome. Yes. I want to put a little light on something Michelle Bachman just said about the physicians in the Congress or in the representative government not speaking up. You know, I was thinking about this the other day is that... Actually, many days I'm thinking about this, but it is at once possible to have been right and wrong.
Starting point is 00:50:06 This is the part that seems impossible for people to sort of admit. You may have been right to really push the vaccine in the darker hours of the Alpha and Delta outbreaks, and you may well have saved significant numbers of
Starting point is 00:50:22 lives, and be wrong continuing to force it on 20-year-old males where the risk of myocarditis is about an order of magnitude or maybe two orders of magnitude more significant than any adverse event from the COVID. So you can be at once right and wrong. So it would be fine to say, you know, we got it right and we got too enthusiastic and that's where we got it wrong. But to sort of say it's all right and all wrong, I think is going to be a mistake. I think we have to be very careful about that.
Starting point is 00:50:51 So let me just look at you guys here. Sorry, I know a lot of you wanted to ask a question, but I'm afraid I don't have a chance to do that. In the remaining moments I have, I wanted to bring in someone from Paleo Valley to discuss their product because we've not had a chance to talk about it yet. And it's something that I use. So I wanted to bring in Autumn Smith. Autumn has been the brains behind Paleo Valley, which is some of our favorite.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Susan, I love these products. And so I want to give you a chance to talk about the Super Greens. You've not talked about that anywhere. And I've started using it. And before you open your mouth, Autumn, i know i'm jumping all over you let me just say to me it was it was so odd it's so odd that there are people taking these little fruit and vegetable gummies uh because you know news outlets are suggesting them and when they have this which is something vastly superior. And so go speak to that. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Well, I'm just grateful that people are making an effort. But our super greens powder came about because we're living in unprecedented times where anywhere between 30 to 90% of us are nutrient deficient. So that means we're not getting enough nutrients to survive, let alone thrive. And people are busy. And the nutrient content of our food supply is lower than ever. getting enough nutrients to survive let alone thrive and people are busy and the nutrient content of our food supply is lower than ever and so we wanted to create a very very high quality powder that just made it easy and most importantly delicious for you and your whole family to get 23 organic fruits
Starting point is 00:52:17 and vegetables in one serving and unlike most other greens powders on the market we didn't include cereal grasses. Cereal grasses often make up the bulk of a powder. And for people who have sensitive stomachs, gluten intolerance, celiac disease, the lectins in cereal grasses can lead to significant digestive upset. And that's what I found. And so we took out cereal grasses and instead we put in the highest quality spirulina in the world.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Now spirulina is one of the most nutrient dense green foods ever studied. It's endorsed by the United Nations as a cure to malnutrition. And by NASA, they've even said eating one gram of spirulina is kind of like eating an entire plate of fruits and vegetables. So we made it all organic. We added high quality spirulina and then we just sweetened it with monk fruit. And because there's no cereal grasses in it, it doesn't taste like grass. You don't have to choke it down.
Starting point is 00:53:12 It doesn't taste like dirt. It actually tastes like fruity and just like fruits and vegetables should. And it's one of our best-selling products and something I consume at least once a day because one serving is the equivalent of about one serving of fruits or vegetables. You know, I, I don't know if anybody else is doing this, but I put it in with the bone broth and, uh, it works. It's good. I do. I do. And yeah, yeah. Yeah. That bone broth stuff. Susan and I were like, weirdly.'s once a day i love it yeah no it's yeah i love it and you know it's good because like i i don't like to eat breakfast but when i start getting a little hangry around 12 o'clock i have my bone broth and it gets me through so
Starting point is 00:53:57 you know then i have a nice lunch so and that's great and there's benefits to that too and adam tell them your story about how why you funded all this and what your training is so people understand why we're so enthusiastic about you and your stuff. Well, I had digestive issues as a child that no doctor I was exposed to knew how to treat. I had IBS. And they told me to take Gas-X, which I did for a very long time. Nothing really changed. And I eventually developed mental health issues, significant mental health issues. And I really kind of struggled along until I met my husband who believed that we could
Starting point is 00:54:34 fix this thinking outside the box and with food. And so we started cleaning up our diet and eventually we got led to the paleo diet. And in 30 days, my digestive issues were gone completely. And then over the course of the next year, my mental health, it became significantly improved, so much so that I quit my job as a celebrity fitness trainer working for Tracy Anderson. And I went back to school. And I'm just now finishing my dissertation for my doctorate in holistic nutrition.
Starting point is 00:55:01 But the main hole in the market we saw was just the products that would make a whole food really clean organic lifestyle just accessible and easy and delicious most of all really delicious for people and so that's why we started paleo valley and uh susan i've been consuming your stuff like right along with the meat sticks we take when we travel with the bone broth every day. And now we added the super greens in. But I, but I, she also has the, the golden milk. Oh, what's that? With turmeric.
Starting point is 00:55:32 And oh yeah, that's really good. Yeah. Go ahead. Well, yeah. So turmeric is obviously one of the best studied superfoods out there. You know, it shuts down the NF Kappa B pathway, which reduces inflammation. And we wanted to find a delicious way for people to have that every day because most people aren't consuming enough spices and they're literally their medicine.
Starting point is 00:55:51 And so we combine ginger and turmeric and medicinal mushrooms and coconut milk powder, and we just made it delicious and something people would want to consume regularly. We were also inspired by the Okinawans who had a daily turmeric tea and at one time were at least noted for their longevity. I feel like you've been withholding that from me. Like I'm not, like I didn't know we had that. Yeah, it's in there. Is that, is that something that we just, you just add water to, or is that something I, I put in the coffee, like everything else? I think I like it with water or a little milk,
Starting point is 00:56:26 even almond milk. I've never tried it with coffee, but I'm not afraid of that. I think it might be okay. You can put it in a shake too, but it also is a natural blood thinner too, right? Absolutely. Yeah. Turmeric has so many. I mean, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Dr. Drew could probably tell us too. Yeah, when people hear bone broth, they go, ew, bone broth. Like they think chicken broth or when you get bone broth. But what people need to understand is that when you have vanilla or chocolate or the unflavored, there's no taste. It's just naturally high in collagen and tastes really good. You guys, check it out.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Or the chocolate. That's what I like. The chocolate's really good. All right. Well, Autumn, I just want to give you a chance to remind people what your mission is, what your training is, and what your products are because, again, we're big enthusiasts and we appreciate you being part of our little world here. Thank you so much. Do you have anything coming up?
Starting point is 00:57:24 Anything on the drawing board oh we always have a lot we're coming out with an organic kind of superfood coffee that contains medicinal mushrooms and then this ingredient called um coffee fruit extract which has been shown to improve bdnf levels in your brain by over 100 so yeah it's like coffee upgraded or kind of like an on switch for your brain that doesn't only rely on the caffeine. So I'm pretty excited about that. Tell us more about medicinal mushrooms.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Ooh, yeah. Medicinal mushrooms are, they've been used for, they've been studied and used in Asia for a very long time. Really significant benefits for the immune system, for your gut function. Lion's mane mushroom in particular has been shown to reverse mild cognitive impairment in a clinical trial in Japan. And reishi, yeah, it goes on and on. There's so many. Yeah. People use the mushroom. They like the mushroom coffee combo because of those cognitive effects. And I've got some physician friends that swear by that. So it'll be interesting to see your
Starting point is 00:58:23 product. So please keep us informed. We'll send you some. Okay. All right. Thank you. And again, it's dr.com slash paleo. And do you have any kind of, you put out any newsletters or anything

She's well-informed on the topics that she's representing. I think my hair got a lot thicker drinking the bone broth, and it grew longer.
Starting point is 00:59:35 I think it's just, I don't know, I feel better overall since I've been using all these products. I've eaten so many of those sticks. I got a huge box, like a grab box. Oh, man, so many of those supplements i got a huge box like a grab box oh man so many of those i eat so much you don't have time to eat otherwise oh yeah no i grab them and go he can't grab yeah he has to eat no it's very he has to eat beef it's very rare like i went to like a grab snack that i can have in fact like i tried to eat nuts for the first time and i think probably four or five years thinking oh i must be better and like i tried to eat nuts for the first time and i think probably
