00:00:00.000 Last week or two weeks ago, it might have been, the World Health Assembly was, as the
00:00:13.060 name suggests, assembled in Geneva, Switzerland, and they were talking about all these sorts
00:00:18.720 of things that on the surface sound nice, they sound good, they sound like the sorts
00:00:23.760 of things that we are all going to get behind.
00:00:26.600 They want to just facilitate movement around the world.
00:00:29.160 Well, that's good.
00:00:29.860 Who doesn't like traveling?
00:00:31.080 They want to talk about all of the ins and outs of making life better or better protecting
00:00:37.280 citizens.
00:00:38.600 And as we've heard time and time again over the last several years, when something is for
00:00:42.380 your protection, it generally comes at a cost, a cost to your mobility rights, a cost to your
00:00:48.120 speech rights, a cost to your ability to make your own decisions as a citizen.
00:00:53.100 And to be honest, whatever you think of the COVID hysteria that has dominated much of the
00:00:58.760 world for much of the last three years, I would hope that everyone could kind of agree with
00:01:03.520 the fact that the World Health Organization has not been a credible voice on this or on
00:01:08.540 anything.
00:01:08.940 It was great when their focus was on preventing malaria in the developing world, but now their
00:01:13.940 focus is preventing mobility everywhere in the world.
00:01:17.980 This organization that would capitulate literally and figuratively to China, that would, you know,
00:01:24.280 literally hang up on a Taiwanese reporter that dares to ask about Taiwan's inclusion in
00:01:29.540 the World Health Organization, which in fairness, if I were Taiwan, I wouldn't be pushing for
00:01:33.680 at this point.
00:01:34.720 And an organization that believes it should be the sole decision maker on all of these
00:01:39.440 things that affect the individual decisions that should belong to individual people.
00:01:45.080 But increasingly, we have governments that are abdicating their obligation to their citizens
00:01:49.940 and I would say their national sovereignty to the World Health Organization.
00:01:54.100 So it's been curious that as the global leaders were talking all about this stuff in Geneva, there
00:02:00.540 was very little mainstream media attention.
00:02:02.980 There was very little attention at all.
00:02:05.480 I should say, first and foremost, I had been looking into going to Geneva to cover it myself.
00:02:11.120 But when I looked at the agenda for the meetings and I looked at the documents, a lot of the
00:02:15.600 stuff that people were interested in wasn't appearing there.
00:02:18.400 There wasn't a lot of talk on the agenda about the global pandemic treaty that's coming into
00:02:22.980 force next year.
00:02:24.020 Hopefully there wasn't a lot of discussion about global vaccine passports, but the joke was
00:02:28.720 on me because all of these things were discussed.
00:02:31.020 They just didn't want to draw attention to them.
00:02:33.600 Well, I'm glad that one woman who was there to shine a light on this is with us today.
00:02:37.880 Michelle Bachman, former U.S. Congresswoman, former Republican presidential candidate, and
00:02:43.400 now the dean of the School of Government at Regent University joins me.
00:02:47.780 She was in the belly of the beast.
00:02:50.300 And more importantly, she's also my cruise mate on the Mark Stein cruises the last couple of years.
00:02:56.620 And we're going to be sailing again in a few weeks' time.
00:03:00.300 Michelle, it is great to talk to you.
00:03:01.680 Thanks for coming on today.
00:03:03.400 So good to be with you, Andrew.
00:03:05.120 Thanks for having me on today.
00:03:06.980 So let's just start with why you went there, because I would imagine that you were probably
00:03:11.560 not a popular voice there as someone who is speaking out against a lot of the very things
00:03:17.100 that these people have been pushing for with, sadly, a fair bit of success the last few years.
00:03:21.720 Well, I wanted to go because of how consequential this meeting is.
00:03:27.140 These kind of meetings drive me crazy.
00:03:29.580 I have no interest in being in meetings gobbledygook.
00:03:32.760 Let's have a bigger and better bureaucracy.
00:03:35.400 But this is more than just changing a bureaucracy of the subset of the United Nation dealing with
00:03:42.220 health care.
00:03:42.840 That's what this is.
00:03:43.960 The United Nations health care arm is called the World Health Organization.
00:03:47.680 They've always been an advisory-only body.
00:03:51.720 And so countries had the ability to just reject whatever they said or adopt it if they thought
00:03:57.860 this was a good thing.
00:03:59.040 And it was a fairly inconsequential organization.
00:04:02.660 You can see the good altruistic purpose for it.
00:04:06.440 If there's an area in the world that needs help, nations of the world can band together
00:04:11.740 to try and help that area.
00:04:13.300 That's all good.
00:04:14.240 But now this is a malevolent plan to take the World Health Organization and supercharge
00:04:22.220 it to the global surveillance system, the global tracking system, the global tracing system
00:04:28.820 of all people on Earth.
00:04:30.380 And we had that not only in Geneva, but an announcement was made yesterday, Andrew, from the European
00:04:36.940 Commission.
00:04:37.580 Basically, in Brussels and the European Union, they made an announcement together with the
00:04:44.280 World Health Organization that the World Health Organization would adopt the global digital
00:04:49.900 passports that have been created in Brussels for the use of the 80 nations in the European
00:04:56.560 Union.
00:04:57.060 But now the World Health Organization is going to take that example of a global digital passport
00:05:03.760 where everyone has a digital ID on their phone and they've got a QR code and then will be tracked
00:05:09.820 and traced by all of that.
00:05:11.660 That announcement was made yesterday.
00:05:13.840 This is very curious to me because at the G20 last November, the health minister of Indonesia
00:05:21.180 made this very casual offhand remark at the G20 that the top G20 nations have gotten together.
00:05:28.920 We've all decided we're going to have global digital passports.
00:05:32.160 They will be put forth by the World Health Organization.
00:05:35.460 We'll adopt amendments in May in Geneva.
00:05:38.380 And we're just going to go ahead and have this surveillance.
00:05:40.860 Well, it didn't happen in Geneva.
00:05:44.140 And so they waited until after all of the votes were taken, if they took any votes.
00:05:49.200 They didn't take any votes on the proposed 307 amendments to the international health rules.
00:05:54.080 They didn't take any votes on the global pandemic treaty.
00:05:57.500 They waited until about a week after the whole shebang was over.
00:06:01.140 And then they announced in a press release, oh, by the way, we're going to empower the World
00:06:06.980 Health Organization.
00:06:08.020 Now, they're going to be the ones in charge of this digital health care passport.
00:06:14.500 And they'll be the ones in the process of tracking and tracing and surveilling the rest of us
00:06:19.900 and giving permission if we can get on a public conveyance like a plane and go somewhere while
00:06:26.820 they also call the shots on literally what vaccines we have to have and boosters and whatever
00:06:32.600 they come up with.
00:06:33.460 Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that timeline, because I was just saying in my intro on this
00:06:38.700 segment that I looked at the agenda and ultimately decided it wasn't going to be worth going because
00:06:43.400 the things they were talking about on the agenda were not the things that we're talking about
00:06:47.480 now. 0.77
00:06:48.240 And as I said, I mean, foolish on my part, because ultimately this was exactly the purpose. 0.85
00:06:53.360 But you're right that they do it in this way where I have to assume that the public agenda
00:06:57.840 was taking place alongside this parallel agenda where these folks were all talking behind
00:07:02.920 closed doors and all agreeing to what then gets announced two weeks later that no one
00:07:07.220 voted on, was not subject to scrutiny.
00:07:09.620 People could not really question it about.
00:07:11.540 And this is really the story of the WHO, is it not?
00:07:14.740 That, you know, they say they're this democratic body, the product of states.
00:07:18.100 But really, all the action seems to take place outside of that democratic forum.
00:07:23.340 Oh, it does.
00:07:23.940 You're right.
00:07:24.520 We're living in a post-democratic environment.
00:07:28.160 That's what the WHO is.
00:07:29.800 They despise the issue of democracy and of the delegates that were there.
00:07:34.240 As a matter of fact, there's 194 nations, essentially all nations on earth who are members of the
00:07:40.700 WHO.
00:07:41.280 And they were all like a bunch of bobblehead dolls.
00:07:44.820 Every single one of the delegates were reading off of basically the same script.
00:07:50.100 They used the word urgent, inclusion, equity.
00:07:54.380 In other words, we're going to have outcome-based, socialized medicine for the world, a concept
00:07:59.100 known as universal health.
00:08:00.940 So socialized medicine for the world.
00:08:03.160 Everybody gets the same level of health care.
00:08:05.700 And so all these little poorer nations think, great, this will be wonderful.
00:08:09.740 We'll all get American-style health care.
00:08:12.400 What they don't realize is that health care is about to be downgraded, particularly in
00:08:17.620 the West, and it'll be outcome-based.
00:08:20.380 So no one is getting high-quality health care, except for the John Careys of the world and
00:08:26.120 the elites of the world who will have their own health care system.
00:08:29.640 And as a matter of fact, that was one of the shocking things to me.
00:08:33.480 You're right.
00:08:33.920 The main event didn't happen in conferences A or B or the plenary sessions, where the real
00:08:42.320 rubber hit the road were in these strategic roundtables, kind of optional meetings.
00:08:47.620 But they clearly laid out their timeline, their content, their strategy.
00:08:52.680 And they talked about the 307 amendments to the international health rules.
00:08:57.640 The fellow in charge of passing them is Dr. Abdullah Asiri.
00:09:02.120 And he said, well, during the next pandemic, and they all talked about the next pandemic.
00:09:06.880 Remember, it was 100 years from the Spanish flu until COVID.
00:09:11.260 But they're talking about the next pandemic.
00:09:12.920 Oh, they talk about it as though it's like coming out next week.
00:09:15.660 I mean, they got excited about monkeypox because they thought they had like another
00:09:19.140 thing that they could get involved in.
00:09:21.620 Yeah, no, exactly.
00:09:22.600 And Dr. Asiri said, you know, we can't, with the next pandemic, we can't use the old international 1.00
00:09:28.760 health rules.
00:09:29.820 We have to have new, bold, strong health rules.
00:09:33.100 Because the problem with the last pandemic was civil liberties.
00:09:37.500 People had too many civil liberties.
00:09:39.840 So we've got to diminish and take away people's civil liberties.
00:09:43.660 It's, you can find this, you can go to who.int, click on 76 World Health Assembly, and then
00:09:51.840 look at the strategic roundtables, the very first one on Monday, and you too can hear
00:09:56.880 Dr. Asiri say, the problem is too many civil liberties, and we got got to get rid of them.
00:10:02.220 One of the amendments does just that.
00:10:04.480 They scratch out the words in the international health rules, human freedom, human dignity,
00:10:11.860 protection of civil liberties.
00:10:13.580 That's gone.
00:10:14.880 This is a post-democratic world.
00:10:17.240 All they care about is empowering the World Health Organization.
00:10:21.920 So it really is the global, Gestapo is probably a terrible word, but the global police, if you
00:10:29.660 will, for health care.
00:10:31.240 They call the shots, not the individual nation states anymore on health care decisions, or
00:10:38.240 the ability to call an emergency.
00:10:40.020 Remember, in the United States, for instance, we lived under emergency powers for three years.
00:10:47.880 Emergency powers were only recently lifted May 11th of 2023.
00:10:53.040 This would give the right to dictate emergency powers to the World Health Organization, and
00:10:59.180 then they can virtually do anything they want.
00:11:01.300 Let me ask you, Michelle, why countries are not more resistant to this?
00:11:07.180 Because, I mean, theoretically, a country could do what the United States was going to do had
00:11:11.780 Donald Trump been re-elected, which is withdraw from the WHO entirely.
00:11:15.380 They have that right.
00:11:17.060 But what we saw was countries increasingly abdicating their own decision-making to the WHO.
00:11:23.220 I mean, we also saw corporations do that.
00:11:25.080 I mean, if you were to have a conversation about COVID on YouTube, YouTube is going to throw
00:11:29.780 up a misinformation label, and they're going to say, you know, you violated what the World
00:11:33.880 Health Organization sets out as being best practices.
00:11:37.140 So why were countries doing this?
00:11:39.260 Because surely individual nation states realize that this is not in their best interest to
00:11:43.580 give this much power to an unelected non-doctor bureaucrat, that Tedros Adhanom guy.
00:11:50.360 Well, it's a few things, Andrew.
00:11:52.300 We all know that the Communist Party of China has global reach and global ambitions, and they've
00:11:59.120 been, with their Belt and Road initiative, buying off Latin American countries, South 0.92
00:12:03.280 American countries, African countries.
00:12:05.920 So they go in.
00:12:06.640 Well, even some European countries.
00:12:08.440 The Belt and Road is global now, yeah.
00:12:10.560 It is.
00:12:11.260 It's a global effort.
00:12:12.480 And they will say, well, we'll pay for this airport for you.
00:12:15.940 We'll pay for this highway for you. 0.90
00:12:17.640 We will take care of this infrastructure with you.
00:12:20.480 You just sign here on the dotted line for your loan, wink, wink, and we'll put this in for you.
00:12:26.980 Well, a lot of these countries are used to loan forgiveness.
00:12:30.540 The United States, for instance, has done a lot of loan forgiveness.
00:12:34.160 China isn't quite there.
00:12:36.540 They're not the ones who are going to do the loan forgiveness.
00:12:38.780 So the number one entity that calls the shots at the World Health Organization is the Communist
00:12:44.420 Party of China.
00:12:45.840 And so this is something that they want because this is the Chinese system.
00:12:49.940 This is the Chinese social credit system.
00:12:53.200 It is how China controls their own people. 0.99
00:12:56.240 So now this system that China has in place, this digital surveillance, is exactly what's 0.53
00:13:02.320 being implemented through the WHO, only it's meant for all nations globally.
00:13:07.860 Why would the United States do this?
00:13:10.060 Joe Biden was the lead aggressor a year ago trying to introduce 29 amendments to completely
00:13:16.460 pivot the purpose of the WHO away from being an advisory-only body to be a regulatory and
00:13:24.600 enforcement body when it came to health emergencies.
00:13:28.680 So that was last year.
00:13:30.180 Then Botswana and a few African nations objected.
00:13:33.500 So we got a reprieve for a year.
00:13:36.460 But we really didn't.
00:13:37.760 Because behind the scenes, they were putting all of this into place.
00:13:42.020 And then this year when I went, I fully expected that they would pass these amendments and pass
00:13:48.800 the Global Pandemic Treaty.
00:13:50.440 It was clear from day one they were not going to pass it.
00:13:53.940 They were going to wait until 2024.
00:13:56.240 But that's a head fake, Andrew.
00:13:58.340 Because one week after they ended the World Health Assembly, they had a press conference
00:14:04.180 yesterday or they issued a press release and announced that the WHO would take over the
00:14:09.860 Global Digital Passport.
00:14:11.520 And that's really all you need for effectively global governance or global surveillance.
00:14:18.000 Because if the WHO controls the terms and the enforcement, they really are creating a platform
00:14:25.600 for global governance.
00:14:26.700 And they're doing it through the Global Digital Passport.
00:14:29.520 Because you're not traveling.
00:14:31.280 You're not getting on a plane.
00:14:32.500 You're not able to do things you are used to doing unless your QR code is up to date and
00:14:39.320 approved by the WHO.
00:14:42.260 Yeah.
00:14:42.820 And the way they couch it in all of these things is about being for your convenience.
00:14:48.200 They basically say that you do this and it's going to make it a little bit more helpful.
00:14:52.420 You know, the airline that I travel with more often than not, they've done this digital
00:14:56.180 ID pilot project where when you log in, they say, oh, if you'd like, you can do a facial
00:15:00.820 scan on your phone and then you can actually board the airplane more conveniently because
00:15:05.520 we'll just take a picture of your face there and that will open the gate.
00:15:09.100 And it's like, I'm looking at this and I'm saying, first off, the voluntary never stays
00:15:13.040 voluntary.
00:15:13.460 So this little like thing you can try if you want is going to become mandatory in, you
00:15:18.100 know, six months time.
00:15:19.140 But also when you trade away things in the name of convenience, you will end up realizing
00:15:24.800 that it had nothing to do with that.
00:15:26.480 That was just PR.
00:15:27.660 And that's the whole thing with these Global Vaccine Passports.
00:15:30.620 We shouldn't be making it easy for states and IOs like the WHO to standardize this stuff.
00:15:37.560 Well, this is really serious, Andrew.
00:15:40.760 People need to understand how far down the road this is.
00:15:45.040 Global socialized medicine isn't pretty.
00:15:49.100 And that's what they plan.
00:15:50.800 Universal health being global socialized medicine.
00:15:53.820 The criterion for health care decisions is a concept known as One Health.
00:15:58.440 And they had a diagram and the diagram includes man, animals, the environment.
00:16:05.500 And so when you look into it, the health care criterion is man is worth no more, is no more
00:16:12.080 valuable than an animal.
00:16:13.780 Man is no more valuable than a lump of dirt. 0.85
00:16:16.560 So it's essentially man equals a cockroach, each equals a lump of dirt. 0.91
00:16:22.320 But in the final... 0.79
00:16:22.760 I have to jump in there.
00:16:24.280 So for Canadians that deal with wait times, now we have to wait behind a tree for our surgery,
00:16:28.980 basically.
00:16:30.220 Well, basically, because now at this point, John Kerry made an appearance at this World Health
00:16:37.920 Assembly, and both Dr. Tedros Jabracius and John Kerry said that, you know, we had focused
00:16:45.820 on infectious diseases.
00:16:47.340 Well, yeah, three years, COVID-19, we'd focused on infectious diseases.
00:16:51.800 But now we're going to turn away from that.
00:16:53.540 Now we're going to pivot and we're going to focus on climate change.
00:16:56.740 And really, here's the bottom line.
00:16:58.240 These climate change people have been desperate to put a control system into place, effectively
00:17:05.580 a global government, on the basis of climate change.
00:17:09.080 Nobody bought it for 60 or 70 years.
00:17:12.000 Nobody cared.
00:17:12.860 They didn't buy it.
00:17:14.060 But after COVID, these climate change people saw how effective you could control people
00:17:20.620 globally through health care.
00:17:22.720 So on day two of the strategic roundtable, John Kerry comes in, and he says, you know,
00:17:29.140 I didn't realize that health care is really driven by climate change.
00:17:34.580 I had no idea until my daughter told me.
00:17:37.460 And so Dr. Tedros Jabracius said the same thing.
00:17:40.460 Yet we're going to pivot away from infectious diseases.
00:17:43.720 Our number one priority now at World Health is climate change.
00:17:48.220 And that's what John Kerry said.
00:17:49.760 So now the number one factor for the WHO will be, can we keep the Earth's temperature at
00:17:57.220 rising no more than 1.5 degrees?
00:18:01.280 So in that case, the lump of dirt equals a cockroach equals mankind.
00:18:07.300 What that says is the lump of dirt is going to win every time.
00:18:11.460 So whatever it is that the elites who control the World Health Organization want, they will
00:18:18.040 make the decisions.
00:18:19.060 It's not up to the 194 nations anymore.
00:18:22.620 It's up to these elites.
00:18:24.080 Because in the global pandemic treaty, they create this little group of elites called like
00:18:29.200 the Council of the Parties or the Commission of the Parties, something like that.
00:18:33.180 And they irrigate to themselves perpetual rulemaking authority.
00:18:38.420 They never have to meet again for the World Health Assembly.
00:18:42.000 This little commission on the parties will meet with perpetual authority.
00:18:47.300 And they'll just create the rules to give the WHO more power and more power and more power.
00:18:53.800 And the sick thing is that led by Joe Biden in the United States, all these nations are willingly, voluntarily giving up their sovereignty over health care decision making. 0.88
00:19:06.740 It is a fatal, ridiculous, tragic decision. 0.70
00:19:11.760 And so, you know, you may have a global audience. 0.72
00:19:14.940 I hope you do, Andrew, because people in other countries, people in Canada, this is the time now to wake up and realize we're very far down the road with this thing.
00:19:26.060 Because now the World Health Organization is calling the shots for the EU.
00:19:31.600 And they're already announcing they're going to call the shots for all of the other nations that join in on this global digital passport.
00:19:39.560 And the ability to travel is contained in that.
00:19:42.100 Our health records will be contained in it.
00:19:44.360 Most likely, our digital currency will be contained in it.
00:19:48.120 Perhaps even the right to buy and sell will be contained in it.
00:19:51.560 It's extremely serious, and it's how you can control people, and it's already off the ground.
00:19:58.280 And yesterday, they made the announcement that the WHO was controlling this.
00:20:02.860 Without a vote, they just grabbed the power.
00:20:06.780 You know, if I were the leader of an African medical group, I'd be very angry that no one cares about the HIV outbreak anymore.
00:20:14.380 No one cares about the malaria outbreak, that they all care about, you know, shutting down oil refineries in Alberta and West Virginia or wherever they are.
00:20:23.280 Michelle Bachman, I'm so glad you went there when no one else in the world was interested in covering this.
00:20:28.240 It's wonderful to see you again.
00:20:29.940 Thanks so much for coming on today.
