00:00:46.720 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
00:00:51.960 If you haven't listened to yesterday's episode about why marriage is awesome, not just for
00:00:57.160 individuals, but also for society in general, then go listen to that. All the red pill bros
00:01:03.520 and Andrew Tate and all the naysayers about marriage on Twitter are all wrong. They're wrong. And
00:01:11.720 Christian marriage in particular stands apart. It stands apart from the rest of the marriage 1.00
00:01:16.820 statistics and the doom and gloom stories that you hear about marriage. Christian marriage is where
00:01:22.860 it's at. Christian marriage offers not just the utmost ability for the people involved, but also
00:01:28.240 for nations as a whole. So listen to that. Lots of statistics, lots of insight from a UVA
00:01:34.760 professor on yesterday's episode. All right. A few things before we get started in talking about
00:01:41.040 disease X, an announcement. We've got a restock on Alliemerch.com. Y'all's favorite t-shirts ever
00:01:47.160 are back in stock. We've got our do the next right thing and faith with excellence and for the glory of
00:01:53.180 God. We've got lots of cute colors on that. Even Relatable friendly colors. We've also got
00:01:58.300 our razor respectful ruckus shirts that are back in action for y'all. And I love these shirts. I wear
00:02:06.740 these shirts all the time. And my sweatshirt with do the next right thing on there as well. So go to
00:02:12.440 Alliemerch.com and you can check those out. They are now restocked just for you. And a couple other
00:02:21.500 things I just wanted to touch on. Sometimes I like to reiterate something that I talked about on
00:02:27.860 Instagram because you guys had such a reaction and a response to it that I just want to reiterate it on
00:02:33.420 the show. And then we can just discuss it. We can discuss it on Instagram. We can discuss it in the
00:02:38.760 comments of YouTube. But a couple observations. Just random. They don't go together at all. They
00:02:44.200 don't have anything to do with the rest of what we're talking about today. But because I've just
00:02:49.400 been thinking about them, I wanted to put it out there and see if I was the only one. And no,
00:02:53.580 I'm not talking about the grease stains that I talked about on Instagram. A lot of you guys did relate
00:02:58.720 to that about how I just get these like random spots on my clothes that look like they're water
00:03:04.220 spots, but they're not water spots. They're some kind of grease or something. And I don't know what
00:03:08.460 causes them. There's a lot of different theories out there. I don't use fabric softener. I don't use
00:03:13.180 liquid detergent. So that was one theory. But I did use some Dawn dish soap and some Dissolve-It
00:03:20.860 and some OxyClean. And I'm going to see what works best. But that's not what I'm talking about.
00:03:25.660 But those are some solutions if you guys are struggling with the same thing. We've got a lot
00:03:29.720 of laundry woes in the relatable family. The thing I was going to say, one, here's one message
00:03:35.500 to those of you, and this is in particular women and maybe some influencers on here who are using
00:03:42.320 Instagram and you use filters on your face or on your videos. So there are some filters out there
00:03:47.860 that just change the color or whatever. And I think that's fine. I'm not really talking about those.
00:03:54.220 I'm talking about the filters on Instagram, maybe on Snapchat too. I don't know. I'm not
00:03:59.740 on Snapchat. Maybe on TikTok. I'm not on TikTok. That change the shape of your face. So if you don't
00:04:05.180 know, there are filters out there that change what your mouth looks like. It basically erases
00:04:11.260 your nose. I don't know if you guys have noticed that, but filters on Instagram basically make it
00:04:15.880 look like the person talking doesn't have a nose. It changes their eyebrows and their eye shape.
00:04:20.220 It makes their face thinner. And I really think that some people who use these filters,
00:04:25.200 they get addicted to it. They get addicted to what they look like with that filter and it makes them
00:04:30.560 really embarrassed of what their image actually looks like in real life. And you know, there was
00:04:36.100 a time when these filters were new where I was using some of those filters and I thought it was cool
00:04:40.140 and it makes you look so pretty. But then you get discombobulated when you see yourself in the mirror
00:04:45.340 or when the filter goes away and you're like, ugh. Okay, here's my challenge to all of us.
00:04:50.900 Let's be filter-free in 2024. Maybe filler-free too, but that's a whole different story. Filter-free
00:04:57.540 in 2024. Because here's the thing, there is nothing good about those kinds of filters that change what
00:05:06.860 your face actually looks like. Because really, you're lying. You're lying not just to other people
00:05:13.220 about how you look. I mean, who wants to be seen in person? And then the reaction is, oh, wow,
00:05:18.540 you look totally different than the person that I saw on Instagram. But also, you're lying to
00:05:24.320 yourself. And I think this is the bigger issue. And this is something, I'm saying this as someone who
00:05:28.960 went through this myself, okay, a few years ago, realizing that I was disappointed when I looked in
00:05:35.440 the mirror because I didn't look how I looked with those filters. It does nothing to help foster
00:05:42.340 the contentment that we're called to as Christians and the gratitude that we are called to as
00:05:47.300 Christians. And I think it makes us very discontent, very dissatisfied, and probably can pave the path 1.00
00:05:55.280 for eventually injecting things in our face and spending a lot of money trying to reverse the aging
00:06:01.440 process when in reality, Scripture tells us that aging is a blessing. And look, I know it's difficult
00:06:07.300 being someone who is in front of the camera all the time and who I follow a lot of, you know,
00:06:12.440 beautiful commentators, people in the news and things like that. And it's so easy to compare
00:06:17.680 yourself. I just turned 32 over the weekend. And I am certainly seeing lines on my face that I didn't
00:06:25.380 see when I was 25 or even 28. And it is so tempting to want to erase those things or to try to,
00:06:33.680 you know, I don't know, inject something in your face, however Botox and fillers work,
00:06:40.000 to make yourself look different than you are. And I think filters, even though they're not permanent
00:06:45.600 and they don't last as long, they kind of serve the same function as trying to erase the natural
00:06:51.480 process of aging. And I just think that all of us probably need to check our hearts a little bit
00:06:59.580 and to one, examine our motives behind those things, but also just ensure that we are doing
00:07:04.240 everything that we can to foster contentment. I'm not against taking care of ourselves using
00:07:09.360 sunscreen and using skincare that works well for us. But I do just get worried. And maybe it's
00:07:17.980 because I'm a mom of daughters now. And I just worry so much about them entering into this world in
00:07:25.480 which what you actually look like is never good enough and what it does to a person's heart and
00:07:31.960 mind and soul. I worry about that, not just individually when it comes to myself or my friends
00:07:38.040 or my kids, but also what it does to an entire generation, like what it does to a nation. And I
00:07:45.000 know maybe you're thinking I'm thinking too much about that, but that's part of why I have this podcast.
00:07:49.700 I think too much about things and then I talk about them. So that's my challenge. Let's do
00:07:54.180 no filter 2024. That's what, that's what I am trying to do. That is what I am doing. And that's
00:08:00.820 what I encourage you to do too. And let us foster contentment and gratitude about the face that God
00:08:06.500 has given us. Okay. That's one little thought.
00:08:10.120 Okay. Nevermind. I don't have time to share the other thought that I shared on Instagram about like
00:08:28.780 about privacy and having to basically sign over our privacy when we participate in society. I'll save
00:08:36.940 that for another day. Maybe I'll save that for Thursday. We really just have to get into the main
00:08:41.880 subject of today's episode, which is disease X. This is a subject that you guys have been asking
00:08:46.680 me to talk about for a long time now. And honestly, I've been hesitant to do so just because it's such
00:08:52.860 a big topic. There are so many different aspects of it and I want to make sure that I cover it as
00:08:58.900 accurately as I possibly can. And we probably won't get into every nook and cranny today. There will
00:09:04.140 probably be things that if you've been studying this or looking at this, reading about this for
00:09:08.680 a while, you'll wonder, wait, why didn't she talk about that? Why didn't she go down that trail?
00:09:14.300 And it's probably just because I didn't have time or I just didn't have the capacity to put that all
00:09:19.720 together in a research document. So I'm going to do the best that I can to give you an overview of
00:09:24.040 what disease X is. And if you haven't heard of it, you are about to have at least a really good
00:09:32.040 basic understanding of what I'm talking about and why we need to care about it.
00:09:37.240 The last thing that I want to do is make us paranoid, but we do want to be prepared, right?
00:09:42.280 So not paranoid, but prepared. And in order to be prepared and to make sure that our family is
00:09:47.220 taken care of the best way that we can, these people that God has given us to steward and protect,
00:09:52.980 we have to know what's going on. We have to know what's being talked about at places like the WHO.
00:09:57.400 Now the WHO, the World Health Organization, pre-2020, most people never thought about the WHO.
00:10:04.080 We didn't care who was the head of the WHO. We didn't care what was going on there. Maybe we
00:10:07.900 should have, but honestly, we only have the capacity to care about so much. And usually that's
00:10:13.000 the stuff right in front of us. We don't have the time or the energy to think about what's going
00:10:17.920 on at the UN, what's going on at the WHO. But now COVID has taught us that we have to actually
00:10:23.620 care about that. And the things that they say will eventually come to fulfillment unless the people
00:10:30.460 who have now woken up do something about it. So that's why we have to know what Disease Acts is all
00:10:36.320 about. So the World Health Organization first used the term Disease Acts in 2018 to warn countries
00:10:43.460 about the danger of unknown viruses and urge them to prepare for potential future pandemics. It was
00:10:50.200 discussed at, again, at the January 2024 World Economic Forum meetings in Davos. If you haven't
00:10:57.660 listened to my episode with Justin Haskins about that, you should go and listen to it. Really all
00:11:02.780 my episodes with him, but particularly this last one to hear about what was actually discussed at the
00:11:08.680 WEF this year. So it was discussed in January and experts were warning that a future unknown disease
00:11:17.340 could be 20 times more fatal than COVID-19, which is pretty significant. I mean, even if you're
00:11:24.260 looking at the most conservative numbers, that there was like a 0.1% fatality when it came to COVID
00:11:30.520 20 times, that is still significant. There was a session titled Preparing for Disease X at Davos this
00:11:38.480 year. It included the director of the World Health Organization, which people typically, they just
00:11:43.800 refer to refer to him as Tedros. He's the director general, and he is from Ethiopia. Now, just to
00:11:51.660 pause, I did this episode back in 2020. I did a deep dive into Tedros, and he is a very corrupt figure
00:12:00.480 himself. When he was the leader of health care, I forget the specific title of what he was in Ethiopia.
00:12:09.260 I guess like what would be here, like the head of our HHS, he covered up a cholera outbreak there,
00:12:17.500 and he didn't prepare for a well-known disease in Ethiopia, and he probably cost thousands of lives
00:12:25.440 because of his lack of preparedness and corruption. Of course, when you are on the left and you're a part
00:12:31.500 of this kind of regime, you fail upwards, just like Fauci did. You get rewarded for your failure
00:12:37.100 if you're willing to do the things that corrupt entities want you to do. And so he's the head of
00:12:42.720 the WHO. While he was the head of the WHO back in 2017, he tried to tap a Zimbabwe dictator,
00:12:50.460 murderous dictator, Marxist dictator, Robert Mugabe, as the goodwill ambassador. And that caused such a
00:13:00.820 stir. People were so mad about that. He got so much backlash because, I mean, it was too
00:13:06.220 obvious. Okay, you are going to tap another corrupt African leader who was responsible for thousands 1.00
00:13:13.820 and thousands of murders and the complete destruction of the Zimbabwe economy and their 0.84
00:13:22.540 health care system. You're going to tap that guy to be in a leadership position in the WHO. And so
00:13:27.500 that actually ended up falling through, thankfully. But Tedros is not a good guy. And this is who we have
00:13:33.800 at the helm. That means, though, that we really need to listen up when he is warning about things,
00:13:39.540 when he's talking about things, because unfortunately, to our great dismay, that will
00:13:43.740 probably come into fruition. So he emphasized at the government summit in Dubai last week that it is
00:13:52.020 a matter of if not when our world faces another pandemic. As WHO emphasizes the inevitable danger
00:13:59.960 of disease acts, they are also pushing for countries to sign their pandemic preparedness
00:14:04.100 treaty. And this is what a lot of people have been warning about for several months,
00:14:08.440 which critics believe is a push for the WHO to have centralized power over critical controversial
00:14:13.860 issues like, quote unquote, misinformation in the international supply chain. Quite frightening.
00:14:20.360 This is this was really the focus. This misinformation piece so-called was really the focus of Davos this
00:14:27.420 year and how the powers that be can try to clamp down on what they call misinformation, which,
00:14:33.840 of course, is just opinions that progressives don't like. It's just facts that progressives don't like.
00:14:39.460 It is counter narratives to the official approved narrative of people like George Soros et al.
00:14:47.340 So Disease X was trending over the weekend at the World Government Summit in Dubai. The World Health
00:14:55.760 Organization told global leaders that a new pathogen and pandemic will strike sometime sometime soon. Just a
00:15:05.680 reminder also that Tedros is not a medical doctor. He's not a medical doctor, but he used the opportunity
00:15:12.040 to emphasize the need for a global pandemic treaty and to dismiss suspicions, suspicions of it being a
00:15:19.740 WHO power grab. So here he is saying that in Dubai. History teaches us that the next pandemic is a matter of
00:15:28.100 when, not if. It may be caused by an influenza virus or a new coronavirus, or it may be caused by a new
00:15:38.960 pathogen we don't even know about yet or what we call Disease X. Okay, so that's frightening. He says,
00:15:48.760 although some progress has been made, like improvements in surveillance, improvements in
00:15:55.160 surveillance, the pandemic fund building capacities in vaccine production, the world is not prepared
00:16:02.200 for a pandemic. The painful lessons we learned are in danger of being forgotten as attention turns to
00:16:07.900 the many other crises confronting our world. We will pay dearly next time, and there will be a next time.
00:16:15.400 He said in preparation for the next outbreak that they have to sign a treaty. So the nations have
00:16:22.140 to come together. They have to sign this international agreement on pandemic preparedness. This is what
00:16:27.400 people are very concerned about. With just 15 weeks left on the timeline that was agreed upon in 2021.
00:16:34.920 Of course, this is happening in an election year. Tedros said that the treaty, which the Biden
00:16:40.720 administration has been involved in negotiating is a set of commitments by countries to strengthen the
00:16:46.160 world's defense with a one health approach. So they're not quite on the nose saying one world
00:16:52.760 government, because they know that's the center of many conspiracies, a one health approach. And I know
00:17:00.160 our friend Justin Haskins, who knows more about the WHO and the WEF and the UN than probably anyone else
00:17:07.180 out there. He tells us that they're not pushing communism, which of course is true. But it is still
00:17:14.480 this kind of collectivist mentality, this kind of progressive Marxist idea that there is no real
00:17:25.100 thing as human nature and innate differences and different kinds of people that if the right people
00:17:32.500 take power, then they can put everyone under one regulation in one set of rules. This is also the
00:17:39.860 ideal behind borderlessness. We can just mush everyone together. These oligarchs on top can just take 1.00
00:17:46.820 control, distribute power and resources at rights as they see fit and everything will be fine. That's true
00:17:56.120 whether it comes to, you know, one world bank or whether it is talking about one health. The fact
00:18:03.920 of the matter is, is that the world is extremely diverse in a lot of ways. There is such thing as
00:18:10.220 human nature. People groups are different. Cultures are different. Not every different kind of person can
00:18:17.040 mush together. Borders exist for our protection. Languages exist for distinctive reasons. And trying to 0.93
00:18:25.720 mush everyone together and put them under one regime is a recipe for absolute and total evil disaster
00:18:32.300 and has a very, I'd say, in timesy feel. So but he said, look, we need this treaty. It's going to
00:18:40.100 absolutely keep people safe that we need a consensus from all of these governments that they're going to
00:18:45.340 do everything that they need to be prepared for this next pandemic. So he said, here are some reasons
00:18:52.580 why it hasn't been signed yet. And time is of the essence. He's saying he says nations have some
00:18:58.640 differences. However, he was confident that they could be worked through. Number two, the second
00:19:04.620 major barrier is the litany of lies and conspiracy theories about the agreement. Of course, people
00:19:10.480 talking about their concerns with our lots of sovereignty as a nation. And that's what critics are
00:19:16.700 saying. They're just fear mongers. They're just liars and conspiracy theorists. He said that it's a
00:19:22.760 power grab by the WHO, that it will cede sovereignty to the WHO, that it will give WHO the power to impose
00:19:29.160 lockdowns or vaccine mandates on countries, that it's an attack on freedom, that WHO will not allow people
00:19:34.100 to travel, and that WHO wants to control people's lives. These are the lies that are being spread.
00:19:39.760 If they weren't so dangerous, these lies would be funny. But they put the health of the people
00:19:43.720 at risk. And that is no laughing matter. Let me be clear, the WHO did not impose anything on anyone
00:19:51.780 during the COVID-19 pandemic, not lockdowns, not mask mandates, not vaccine mandates. We don't have
00:19:58.200 the power to do that. We don't want it. And we are not trying to get it. Now, I hope that that is true.
00:20:09.020 I hope that it is not raw being America or any country of its sovereignty. I hope that it has
00:20:16.600 not given itself the power to impose these kinds of lockdowns. But that's certainly what critics
00:20:22.580 believe is exactly what's going to happen. So we're going to talk about why people are afraid of that.
00:20:39.020 So here's the deal. While the WHO doesn't technically have authority right now to impose lockdowns
00:20:49.480 on countries, they can't legally come in as it is and arrest people for not wearing a mask. However, they
00:20:57.920 were seen as the authority during the pandemic, during the height of COVID. Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx,
00:21:07.660 really the entirety of the administrative state, even local officials, commentators would all cite the
00:21:16.520 WHO as the reason for imposing or advocating for imposing vaccine mandates and lockdowns and mask
00:21:25.960 mandates. And really, even I would say the WHO was more conservative, if you want to use that word,
00:21:34.120 or less stringent when it came to mask mandates and vaccine mandates than a lot of the Democrats
00:21:42.000 were here. I mean, they didn't recommend masking. I think it was kids under 10, the WHO. And yet
00:21:49.680 Democrats here, of course, said, well, if you're two years old, you can't even fly without wearing a mask.
00:21:54.820 Child abuse, child abuse is insane. But the WHO and their suggestions absolutely played a huge
00:22:02.600 role in implementing the policies here in the United States and elsewhere that robbed people of their
00:22:08.480 freedom, of their rights and of their livelihoods. Absolutely. In March 7th, 2020, the WHO said that we
00:22:15.540 should use China as a model. Now, remember, China was locking people in their homes. People were starving
00:22:21.720 to death in China because they literally had their doors welded shut by the dictatorial regime in China.
00:22:30.720 And of course, mask mandates and all of that. Now, they flip-flopped a lot, the WHO did, on masks.
00:22:38.940 They first said there's no evidence that wearing a mask will help. And you heard Dr. Fauci saying that.
00:22:44.260 And then in June of 2020, and I remember this switch. I really do. I remember we went on vacation
00:22:50.560 to Florida and I saw a few people wearing a mask inside. And at that point, people weren't wearing
00:22:55.560 masks. This was June of 2020. We got home and all these celebrities and all these commentators
00:23:01.580 were saying, oh, if you're not wearing a mask, you're killing grandma. I remember that switch.
00:23:06.460 I remember March of 2020. Fauci giving that interview saying, ah, mask isn't going to help
00:23:11.920 and rolling his eyes at it. And then June of 2020, it was like, if you don't wear a mask,
00:23:15.680 you are basically Ted Bundy. The WHO has updated its guidance. They said to advise that to prevent
00:23:23.940 COVID-19 transmission effectively in areas of community transmission, governments should
00:23:28.200 encourage the general public to wear masks. The guidance for religious leaders on avoiding
00:23:33.900 large group gatherings, the WHO encouraged churches to not meet as they typically did.
00:23:39.920 sermons and messages can build on factual information provided by the WHO. So they
00:23:45.240 encourage religious leaders, if they were giving sermons, to make sure that they are repeating
00:23:50.120 the lines given to them by the WHO, which is just very, very frightening when you think about it.
00:23:57.120 They gave guidance to schools. They did say children under five should not be required to wear a mask.
00:24:04.020 Children six through 11, though, said that they should. Again, we had absolutely no data
00:24:09.440 whatsoever to support this idea of mask mandates in schools, really of mask mandates in general,
00:24:14.900 but specifically for children that led to a loss of learning and development and social skills
00:24:21.640 and a rise in anxiety and paranoia. We had lots and lots of research showing us that for these
00:24:28.860 influenza type and respiratory illness type diseases, sicknesses, that these masks were not helpful
00:24:37.880 at all and could actually be counterproductive. I don't blog, but I wrote a whole blog post that
00:24:44.840 put all of this information and all of these peer-reviewed studies together from the past 20 plus years
00:24:51.120 showing that masks really don't help. And it was crazy. It was like a religion for some people.
00:24:56.540 And they looked to like the WHO as God. So even though Tedros is technically right, that they did not
00:25:03.760 impose all of these regulations on these countries. They absolutely knew that they held a position of
00:25:10.780 authority and that local and national health officials would take their cues from the WHO and make their
00:25:20.620 policy decisions based on that. So we do have the WHO at least in part to blame when it comes to this,
00:25:28.080 not to mention that this outbreak shouldn't have happened in the first place if the WHO had been
00:25:36.460 doing its job. If it wasn't so scared, if it hadn't been so scared of China, the UN and the WHO always
00:25:44.180 kowtowed China, this corrupt dictatorial communist regime, and refused to actually research what went on 0.60
00:25:53.660 and how this happened at the Wuhan lab and if it actually originated in the Wuhan lab. The whole
00:25:58.380 lie that spread that it was from bat soup. Oh my gosh. Can you even believe that people believed that
00:26:04.440 at one point? That it was from bat soup. The WHO helped fan the flames of that propaganda. The WHO may 0.92
00:26:11.680 have also covered up the beginnings of this outbreak, which was probably toward the end of 2019 when people
00:26:19.100 started reporting this kind of pneumonia like illness happening in certain areas of China. And so that's
00:26:27.000 why I actually brought up the corruption of Tedros that we've seen going back several years, because it
00:26:32.800 is very likely that he is still corrupt to this day and that he is also probably in bed with the Chinese 0.95
00:26:42.060 Communist Party. We know that the Chinese Communist Party also wants to see the demise of the West
00:26:50.860 and wants to see the weakening of the U.S. dollar, wants to see the division of and the weakening of the
00:26:58.580 United States in general, wants to see a weaker American economy, and knows that the less that we rely
00:27:05.600 on ourselves to supply the things that we need, the more we'll rely on China. So I promise if the WHO 1.00
00:27:11.980 takes over the supply chain for whatever reason, that is going to benefit China. Really, the WEF in
00:27:18.840 general, all these entities are very supportive of China, which is interesting because they are
00:27:24.620 one of the greatest perpetrators of human rights abuses on Earth. So that just shows you the priorities of
00:27:31.700 where everyone is. All right. So is it true? Is Tedros right? These are all just conspiracy theories
00:27:39.240 that you've been hearing about this treaty and that it's not really ceding sovereignty, that we have
00:27:46.620 nothing to worry about. It's just a one health approach. Anytime I hear one anything, again, I'm going
00:27:52.420 to be very skeptical. Or are the critics right? Are the people trying to sound the alarm about this? I've seen
00:27:59.000 Michelle Bachman, for example, give several interviews where she's been trying to sound
00:28:03.320 the alarm about what's going on. Well, let's see. Let's see what the treaty actually says. So
00:28:08.620 conservative critics here in the United States have said that the agreement does indeed cede sovereignty
00:28:15.820 in some ways to the WHO. And what that means is that if we sign this treaty, critics are saying that
00:28:23.580 America will not have the ability to be autonomous if a pandemic should come, we won't have the ability
00:28:30.460 to make our own laws based on the will of the people. Obviously, if we saw COVID last time,
00:28:37.720 those those policies were also not made based on the will of the people. But this will be completely
00:28:42.760 detached from any kind of democratic support whatsoever. And it will just be dictated by the
00:28:49.640 whims of the WHO. Representative Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee, said at a May press
00:28:56.540 conference last year that the World Health Organization pandemic treaty is very vague.
00:29:01.780 It affects our sovereignty and it could be exploited to tell Americans what kind of health care they
00:29:05.580 need in the event of a global pandemic. The nonprofit advocacy group founded by former Vice President
00:29:11.340 Mike Pence Advancing American Freedom published a letter blasting the WHO pandemic treaty while also
00:29:17.200 questioning the United States' continued membership in the international body. You'll remember Trump's
00:29:23.460 position, which was to get out of the WHO and to no longer fund the WHO. Just a reminder that
00:29:33.840 Bill Gates is an incredibly large funder of the WHO, which tells you a lot. So here are the concerns
00:29:42.120 that people have expressed when it comes to what the treaty actually says. Number one,
00:29:47.980 there's a focus on equity. There's another propagandistic euphemism right there. So the AAF,
00:29:54.880 that's that nonprofit that was started by Mike Pence, points out that the treaty ostensibly intended to
00:30:00.420 save lives through international prioritization of the best medical practices, emphasizes race and
00:30:06.340 equity before every other value in its general principles and approaches. What that means,
00:30:12.120 is that you would deprioritize white people. We already actually saw that in the United States,
00:30:17.620 a focus on equity, which was ensuring that black and brown Americans got their vaccines before
00:30:25.040 white Americans did. So that, just to decode that for you, that's exactly what it means.
00:30:30.060 Okay, so here is what the treaty says. Equity is at the center of pandemic prevention,
00:30:35.820 preparedness and response, both at the national level within states and at the international level
00:30:40.320 between states. It requires specific measures to protect persons in vulnerable situations,
00:30:48.320 fair, equitable and timely access to safe, effective, quality and affordable pandemic related products
00:30:52.880 and services. The whole of chapter two in the treaty is titled The World Together Equitably,
00:30:58.100 Achieving Equity in, For and Through Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response. Each party
00:31:04.280 shall continue to strengthen its health system with a view to the progressive realization of universal
00:31:10.220 health coverage. Okay, so this is political. This is a political position. This is a progressive
00:31:16.720 political position. That's what they want. That's what the left has always wanted. And the left always
00:31:20.900 finds a way to ran through their policy positions without the support of the people. And yet they say they're
00:31:29.640 the guardians of democracy. Of course, the exact opposite is true. Everything they accuse Republicans
00:31:35.040 of when it comes to tyranny and fascism and control and vying for power is actually true of progressives,
00:31:43.260 is actually true of the Democratic Party. It's always been true of progressives. It's always been true
00:31:47.360 of socialists and communists. Since the inception of their ideologies, they will find a way to push
00:31:55.340 universal health care. It looks like this treaty is a part of that. And of course, equity, which again
00:32:01.560 is the idea. It's based on this idea that black and brown people are all oppressed, that white people
00:32:07.980 are all privileged. And so in order to make sure that everyone ends up in the same place, you have to
00:32:13.780 push back white people in a variety of ways economically when it comes to health care, when it comes to 0.84
00:32:18.620 education, and you have to hoist up black and brown people. So everyone ends up in the same place. 1.00
00:32:23.280 The problem is, it's not a true dichotomy. It starts on a false premise. Black and brown people 1.00
00:32:28.140 are not automatically oppressed because of their skin color. White people are not automatically
00:32:33.100 privileged because of their skin color. And that is actually the opposite of what real equity is.
00:32:41.400 Equity, according to God's word, is treating everyone the same, showing no partiality. This form of
00:32:48.100 progressive equity is showing partiality in order to try to get people to show or to end up at the
00:32:56.280 same place, which of course is possible. It's what Thomas Sowell calls cosmic justice, and it is wicked.
00:33:04.420 So this is another concern. Here's another concern that the AAF outlines when it comes to this treaty.
00:33:11.460 It threatens the freedom of expression under the guise of misinformation.
00:33:14.580 The AAF also warned about one article in the treaty specifically calling on signing nations to
00:33:20.580 combat false misleading misinformation or disinformation, including through effective
00:33:24.320 international collaboration and cooperation. So this is what people are talking about when they
00:33:29.740 say it loses, we're losing our sovereignty. It seems like it's a collaboration of progressive elites
00:33:37.280 at a variety of countries coming together and deciding how they are going to trample upon the free
00:33:43.700 speech rights of their people in the name of combating misinformation and saving lives.
00:33:48.340 I don't think I even have to explain to you what that looks like because we saw that so clearly during
00:33:52.700 COVID. I mean, people getting censored left and right for just suggesting what is actually true
00:33:58.800 about COVID, about the death rate, about the policies that could actually mitigate disease
00:34:04.040 and prevent death. The parties shall strengthen science, public health and pandemic literacy in the
00:34:10.360 population. I mean, this is so dystopian and so big brother, it is wild. As well as access to
00:34:16.380 information on pandemics and their effects and drivers and combat false misleading misinformation,
00:34:20.800 disinformation through effective international collaboration. We know what that means. They use
00:34:26.480 these euphemisms to try to make it sound palatable or innocuous, and they're not. We know what this is.
00:34:32.800 All right. Another concern that the AAF has, it says that the proposed treaty would also give the WHO
00:34:54.340 control of international supply chains in the event of another pandemic event intended to allow more
00:35:02.060 efficient manipulation of resources under the guise of equity. So this is from the treaty and
00:35:10.220 partnership in collaboration with relevant international, regional and other organizations
00:35:14.640 to be guided by equity and public health needs, paying particular attention to the needs of developing
00:35:21.460 country parties. So again, there's what they, that's what they mean by equity. They're prioritizing
00:35:30.440 who gets, I guess, the most resources based on what they consider a more developed or a more
00:35:39.760 developing country. Now, I'm not saying that those countries don't need more help. Perhaps they do
00:35:45.360 need more resources, but the collaboration of a One Health approach to distribute resources based on the
00:35:54.080 subjective whims of a corrupt organization that, again, is very interested in the rise to power,
00:36:01.860 the continued rise to power and prominence of the Chinese Communist Party and other evil actors. 0.99
00:36:06.720 I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure. I want to trust them with that distribution.
00:36:14.340 So more on disease acts. This has been reported on several times. Just a few months ago,
00:36:20.660 the Daily Mail was reporting on this, reporting on what some of the quote unquote experts are saying
00:36:27.860 that, again, this outbreak might be even worse. And I just want to note one thing that they said,
00:36:33.360 China is the most likely place the new avian virus would first appear, he said, because the country
00:36:39.040 often records cases of human with human infection with avian influenza. And of course, we don't think
00:36:46.620 that that's why there are all of these labs there, not just in China, but doing very dangerous research,
00:36:53.760 developing these kinds of diseases. They say it's to, you know, be able to prepare us and to protect us
00:36:59.600 in the future. But apparently, as we saw with the Wuhan lab, the right protections and regulations are not
00:37:07.020 in place. Now, maybe you say that that's intentional. Maybe it was accidental. But OK, even if it's not that,
00:37:14.640 even if it really is just disease. So let's go with the bat soup theory and that there's just avian 0.99
00:37:22.720 flus that happen in China. Stop. Stop being gross. Why does that need to happen? Why does it have to 0.97
00:37:30.860 be China? Change fundamentally how you act if that is the case. If the case is that all of these flus 1.00
00:37:39.820 and all of these diseases are organically happening because of how the animals are eaten and treated
00:37:47.380 there, you're doing a disservice to the people of China and you're doing a disservice to the world and 1.00
00:37:52.560 you need to fundamentally change the practices that are leading to that kind of spread of disease
00:38:00.560 that's killing millions of people around the world. Like, don't you think the WHO, like,
00:38:06.020 let's all sign a treaty that tells China to change and to stop spreading those diseases, if that's really 0.95
00:38:12.600 the case? I don't even think that's the case. But if the WHO were worth its salt, it would say,
00:38:18.200 hey, China, can you like can you stop eating the bats? 0.99
00:38:22.460 The good news, so they say, the experts interviewed say rapid advances in vaccine technology and antivirals
00:38:29.020 demonstrate the pharmaceutical industry would be able to rapidly roll out treatments against a pandemic
00:38:34.840 disease when the next arises. You know, the pharmaceutical industry, they're just, they're the
00:38:39.160 best. They're so sweet and they're so generous and kind. And the great thing is, is that they do it all
00:38:46.160 just out of the goodness of their heart. And they certainly have no interest in another pandemic
00:38:53.520 and another disease so they can develop more vaccines and medications. I mean, yes, okay, it could,
00:39:03.180 it could be. I mean, if you like, just want to go there and theorize that it might be the billions
00:39:10.100 and billions and billions of dollars that they're making, but it's probably not that. It's probably
00:39:15.740 just the pharmaceutical companies that they're just little sweeties, and they just want to help us out.
00:39:20.580 So thank you so much to Pfizer, which leads me to the next sponsor. Just kidding. Just kidding.
00:39:27.820 I scared y'all for a second. Not sponsored by Pfizer. Okay, this is according to the New York
00:39:33.160 Post. And this was reported just a couple weeks ago. Chinese lab crafts mutant COVID-19 strain
00:39:41.380 with 100% kill rate in humanized mice. This is exciting. This is good. Surprisingly, rapid death,
00:39:49.220 they say. The study is the first of its kind to report 100% mortality rate in mice infected by the
00:39:54.840 COVID-19 related virus, far surpassing previously reported results from another study. The researchers,
00:40:01.260 the researchers wrote. Francois Ballou, an epidemiology expert at University College London's
00:40:09.660 Genetics Institute, slammed the research though, so this is better, as terrible and scientifically
00:40:14.740 totally pointless. So he said this. I had to look at the preprint. It's a terrible study.
00:40:19.000 Scientifically totally pointless. I can see nothing of vague interest that could be learned from
00:40:23.180 force infecting a weird breed of humanized mice with a random virus. Conversely, I could see how much
00:40:28.380 stuff might go wrong. Right. So great news. They are injecting humanized mice with a disease that
00:40:39.060 no one wants and no one needs that is killing them and could probably leak to everyone else and kill us
00:40:48.200 all too. So good news on your Tuesday afternoon. Disease X bill in Congress. Apparently, that's
00:40:57.240 something that's happening. HR 3832, also known as Disease X Act of 2023, was introduced in the House on
00:41:05.580 June 5th, 2023 and referred to the Subcommittee on Health. The status has not changed since then,
00:41:09.860 but the bill's purpose is to establish a program at the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development
00:41:15.900 Authority for developing medical countermeasures for viral threats with pandemic potential. Tedros
00:41:24.640 also posted a tweet just the other day on my birthday. This, I mean, this is what, this is what
00:41:31.940 you see when you enter into the gates of hell, is this picture right here. Thank you, Secretary Hillary
00:41:38.940 Clinton, for a great discussion on global health challenges, including pandemic preparedness for the
00:41:44.420 hashtag pandemic accord. Well, that's, that's, again, very scary. Outkick writer Ian Miller, we've had Ian
00:41:52.020 Miller on this podcast before, and he was like the foremost data gatherer when it came to masks and mask
00:42:00.140 mandates and showing just through statistics that mask mandates do not work at all. He wrote this in
00:42:07.840 response to that very scary, very scary picture that could be the new cover for the latest edition of
00:42:17.080 Dante's Inferno. He said, outstanding could not have written, could not have scripted it any better.
00:42:23.480 The World Health Organization is a joke. So, of course, Hillary Clinton is full steam ahead on giving 0.94
00:42:27.000 them even more control with the pandemic accord after they repeatedly lied and spread harmful information
00:42:33.640 when it came to the pandemic. Okay, so that's what's going on with ZZX. We've got a corrupt organization 1.00
00:42:43.060 run by a corrupt man who is not a medical doctor who is pushing for an international treaty that
00:42:51.060 countries would sign saying, in the event of a pandemic, we promise to police speech to try to
00:43:01.680 hamper so-called misinformation and disinformation and to spread the resources of health equitably,
00:43:12.260 of course, based, I am sure, on racial quotas in an effort to bring the world into a one health future
00:43:26.000 for universal health care coverage. And so, when he says, when Tedros says, this has nothing to do
00:43:33.780 with national sovereignty, this is not going to, this is not going to hurt your rights in any way,
00:43:41.980 all right, then he's going to be okay with some edits that we want to make to it. I don't see any
00:43:47.900 reason at all for any treaty. There's no good reason for it. Zero good reason. Every nation
00:43:55.780 has to do what is best for their people. And every policy decision is a difficult decision to make.
00:44:03.640 It's a push and pull decision. It is not, well, this is going to save the most amount of lives,
00:44:10.880 so it's just as easy as that. And so, we just keep everyone inside and we, you know, put masks on
00:44:18.960 two-year-olds. No, there are a lot of things to weigh when it comes to policies. Yes, even when it comes
00:44:24.800 to pandemic policy, you have to weigh people's livelihoods. You have to weigh people's ability
00:44:29.480 to socialize. You have to weigh in people's ability to get an education. You have to weigh in
00:44:35.140 people's freedoms, their constitutional rights. But our constitutional rights, in many ways,
00:44:39.780 were suspended for this pandemic. And in my view, this treaty just ensures and enshrines that suspension
00:44:48.380 should the next pandemic come. And I hope they're wrong. I hope that it doesn't. But gosh, here's one
00:44:55.080 thing I will say is that I do not want Joe Biden or any Democrat in office when that next pandemic hits.
00:45:08.060 I pray that it does it. But that is for sure. Man, who we elect in November is going to have a huge
00:45:19.720 and perhaps extremely imminent effect on our freedoms and on our rights. Now, it's true that Trump really
00:45:31.060 didn't demonstrate that much of a desire to protect our freedoms. I mean, he didn't fire Fauci and he chastised,
00:45:43.140 for example, Brian Kemp, the governor of Georgia, when he opened back up and ended his lockdowns. He chastised
00:45:51.660 him at a press conference. I just remember watching that and being like, seriously? So hopefully if Trump wins,
00:45:58.160 that he has learned his lesson. But I'm telling you, anyone is better than a Democrat in office this
00:46:04.880 November because something like this is on the line. And we've already seen the blueprint of what
00:46:11.620 they want to do and how they want to drastically change your life and take over all power of every
00:46:21.320 government in order to ensure that you comply. It's very important to all their plans. And
00:46:28.120 it sounds like a grand conspiracy, except they basically just say this stuff at Davos every
00:46:32.580 year and they hope that people don't pay attention. But even if people do pay attention,
00:46:36.460 they don't really care. And so I know it sounds like a black pill. I know it sounds, oh my gosh,
00:46:42.440 what are we going to do? But it really matters who we elect locally, who we elect on the state level,
00:46:49.220 and who we elect nationally. As long as our elections still truly have consequences.
00:46:57.640 As long as we have elections, they absolutely matter. Like America still has a place of strength
00:47:05.260 and has a place of prominence and influence on the world stage. And we can make or break something like
00:47:12.460 this. Unfortunately, the Democrats here, I mean, they're in the pocket of the CCP too. Of course they
00:47:18.980 are. And so they're not going to be any help. They've already completely sold us out to the highest
00:47:24.460 better. But people who love America, who happen to be almost all of them in the Republican Party
00:47:32.500 right now, there are a lot of people in the Republican Party that hate America too, though. But as far as
00:47:37.080 people who love America, almost all of them happen to also be Republicans, it can really make a
00:47:42.240 difference. So who we vote for statewide, local elections, national, it really, really matters
00:47:50.300 and will really, really make a difference. All right, that's all we got time for today. Let's
00:48:06.820 just remember, guys, because I know when we talk about something big like that, whenever we talk
00:48:11.700 about the WHO or the UN or the WEF or all the different acronyms, whenever we talk about these
00:48:19.400 things, it makes you feel very small and very powerless. And while it's important for us to know
00:48:24.360 about these things and to be prepared to make sure our elected officials know about these things and
00:48:29.460 that they're prepared to push back and to stand up for our freedom, the fact of the matter is,
00:48:35.140 is that we only have control over so much. We have control over very little. And really,
00:48:41.660 we have been given a relatively tiny plot of earth to steward and to make better, to maximize,
00:48:49.660 to beautify. We do not have the capacity to care about everything all at once. You can't be panicked
00:48:56.400 about everything. You can't fear everything. You can't even have compassion for everything. I know
00:49:01.740 that we're told today that you have to have empathy for everyone and everything all at once. God did
00:49:06.640 not make you to do that. He didn't make you to have the ability to do that. Only God can see
00:49:11.560 everything, can know everything, can carry everything. Only He has the ability to do that because He's
00:49:17.080 infinite. We are finite. We can't carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. And so I do my best to
00:49:23.260 balance, not just on the show, but in my own life, like knowing about something, making sure I know
00:49:28.120 without an issue, but not allowing it to consume me and not allowing it to, you know, make me live
00:49:37.680 in fear or in a state of existential dread. And so, gosh, we have to balance not just our preparedness,
00:49:46.660 but just like our knowledge of what's going on with prayer, with trusting God's sovereignty,
00:49:52.140 and then refocusing on what's right in front of us. So you listen to this podcast. Okay, you've got
00:49:58.560 some knowledge. Maybe for one of you, this is something that sets you off on like a long research
00:50:03.420 project and you really dig into it and you do something about it. And that's great. I mean,
00:50:07.920 there are always those kinds of subjects out there for different people, but maybe it's just something
00:50:12.600 that you put in your back pocket and then you trust God with it. Because I can't tell you how many
00:50:17.040 times a week, I hear something like, oh, we're about to get nuked by Iran. Oh, we're about to
00:50:22.860 get hit with a hundred percent mortality rate disease called disease X. And they're going to
00:50:30.060 take our sovereignty. Oh, the WEF is and BlackRock are teaming together to take all of our property
00:50:37.520 and our finances. Oh, the border is wide open. Oh, judges and prosecutors don't care about crime
00:50:44.320 anymore. And they're just allowing murderers to go out in the street. And I'm like, well,
00:50:49.460 there is nothing I can do about it right now. There's nothing I can do about it. A lot of times
00:50:55.300 there are. I mean, as I said, getting involved in local elections and things like that. Obviously,
00:51:00.520 that's a big deal. Maybe God is calling you to run for one of those offices. But the truth is,
00:51:05.960 we can only do what is right in front of us at any given moment. I always think about that C.S.
00:51:11.740 Lewis quote, and I'll have to paraphrase it. That's basically like, look, all of us were ordained
00:51:17.320 to die. Before we were born, we were all ordained to die. And many of us were ordained to die in very
00:51:24.500 grotesque ways and in painful ways. And the introduction of a new pathogen or a new threat
00:51:32.500 of nuclear attack or a new threat of invasion, whatever it is, it doesn't change that. All of us
00:51:41.980 were already going to die. And we are still going to die. And our calling as Christians remains the
00:51:49.120 same, just as it has been since the inception of the church, which is to glorify God and to love our
00:51:56.440 neighbor and to raise our families well and to disciple our kids and to work hard, heartily,
00:52:02.080 for the Lord and not for man. And to trust that God is not only in control, but he is really good
00:52:07.740 and that he is coming back and that victory is his. And that gives us our joy and faith and hope.
00:52:13.140 While still, yes, caring about the material, we do. We're not Gnostics. We care about the body. We
00:52:20.280 care about people. We care about the economy. We care about national security. We care about borders.
00:52:24.920 God has given us all these things. We occupy a physical space and a physical material context.
00:52:30.820 And God has given us that purposely and providentially. We have to care about those
00:52:35.020 things and cultivate those things with our eyes towards heaven. It's a very interesting tension.
00:52:42.000 And it will only be on the other side of eternity that that tension releases. But we are not in a
00:52:48.100 unique place in history and that the history of humanity has been characterized mostly by suffering
00:52:55.720 and tyranny. And we have lived in this beautiful respite of American history where we have had
00:53:02.580 rights. And I hope that that lasts for a very, very long time, but it will not last without our
00:53:11.620 grace-driven effort towards that, which starts in your home and by doing the next right thing in faith
00:53:19.200 with excellence and for the glory of God. All right, Relatable, we will be back here tomorrow.
