00:00:00.000The type of corruption that I really hope, you know, Bobby exposes is the type where they're
00:00:04.080doing the bidding of the large companies as opposed to protecting America's health, whether
00:00:08.720it's with big pharma, whether it's big ag, whether it's big food processing. I come from the private
00:00:12.860sector. I have no problem with big businesses. I've got a problem when you have a large business
00:00:16.520using their power to corrupt the process, to capture the regulatory agencies. You know,
00:00:20.640you've got a revolving door of personnel. I mean, you pay a government employee a royalty on some
00:00:25.140patentable drug, are they going to really do a very good job of determining is that
00:00:29.480really safe? What gives me hope is I think most Americans agree on the big
00:00:32.940issue. We're a horrible divided nation but there's no reason for us to be
00:00:36.520divided. What I hope Bobby Kennedy can do is expose all this so that more people
00:00:40.580have their eyes open. These people that Trump has put forward to run different
00:00:46.300sectors of the government, how likely is it that somebody like RFK Jr. is
00:00:50.580actually going to be running. Senator Ron Johnson, welcome to my podcast. Thanks for
00:01:00.080being me. I'm Michaela. Yeah, this should be fun. I guess first off, I said thank you
00:01:05.620for letting me speak at the roundtable a few months ago. That was a huge opportunity. I
00:01:12.380really appreciate it. And I'm glad you've been hosting these roundtables kind of talking
00:01:17.420about, well, things that are often shied away from. So I really appreciate the opportunity.
00:01:22.760Well, I really appreciate you presenting. I did not know your story. It's an amazing story.
00:01:28.900You know, you're looking good. I hope you're feeling good.
00:01:32.400I am. I'm feeling fine. When did you start doing those roundtables? I know you did one on COVID
00:01:38.180a number of years ago when it was really not the time to be talking about it.
00:01:43.580Well, I was chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. It had nothing really to do with health. But when the pandemic struck, I started holding hearings while I was still chairman. In February, I found out that we don't make precursor chemicals. We don't do active pharmaceutical ingredients, which is a real vulnerability we have as a nation.
00:02:05.340And then in May, I brought in Johnny Anitas, who had done the analysis of the Princess
00:02:09.960Cruise data, just to calm everybody down.
00:02:12.500And this was kind of the start of the pandemic.
00:02:28.140Then in November and December of 2020, before the vaccine had any emergency use authorization, I had Peter McCulloch, Harvey Risch, a bunch of other people come in and talk about hydroxychloroquine.
00:02:40.420The following month, I had Pierre Corey come in and talk about ivermectin.
00:02:45.840He had the data, he had his manuscript, provide that to NIH, and the pandemic's over.
00:02:50.940Little did he know the vested interests that wanted a vaccine and were going to crush and sabotage any early treatment.
00:02:57.980So that was his chairman. And then, you know, we lost the majority. I timed out as chairman.
00:03:03.480So all I could really do is hold public events. So the first public event I held was in June of 2021 because nobody was advocating for the vaccine injury.
00:03:15.220So Ken Ruckers, who is a football star with Green Bay Packers, his wife is vaccinated.
00:03:20.360Not a Wisconsin resident, but he heard of my work. So he contacted me and I said, well, if you're if you're willing to put yourself out there,
00:03:26.160I'm happy to use my platform and develop a forum where people like, you know,
00:03:31.220Bree Dressen, Matty DeGarry, his wife, Cheryl,
00:03:34.560a couple other individuals who were vaccine injured could tell their story.
00:03:37.960Now, I was hoping, again, this is June of 2020.
00:03:40.960This is when everybody's safe and effective, right?
00:05:08.040I give all the credit to Casey and Callie Means and R.F. Kennedy Jr. for, you know, really highlighting this issue and particularly Bobby Kennedy for having the courage to suspend his presidential campaign, join forces with President Trump, you know, lay their differences aside, focus on area of agreement, because not only do we have hopes of addressing chronic illness, but it truly is a demonstration of how you can heal and unify a very divided nation.
00:05:36.920I completely agree. Was there something that kind of led you down the path of skepticism
00:05:44.440that I guess you saw in the government when you were working? Because you were one of the first
00:05:50.760people to have some skepticism towards the vaccine or just the response towards COVID.
00:05:55.880And then recently with this health epidemic, you know, not everybody's talking about it.
00:06:00.260So is there something that made you skeptical initially?
00:06:03.480I think I'm just a skeptic in general.
00:06:12.540I came here because we were mortgaging our kids' future.
00:06:15.240I didn't come here to investigate, but I became chairman of the Senate Oversight Committee, basically.
00:06:19.700And so I started doing investigations.
00:06:21.020So I saw corruption within the FBI, within the Department of Justice, within our intelligence agencies.
00:06:26.260So I already saw corruption within federal government agencies to the detriment of the American public.
00:06:31.880And then when COVID happened, I mean, none, our response to COVID, none of it made sense to me.
00:06:38.500You know, Peter McCulloch had the four pillars of pandemic response, you know, try and limit the spread, early treatment, hospital treatment, and vaccines.
00:06:48.760And, you know, we certainly tried to stop the spread by destroying our economy, destroying small businesses.
00:07:25.440They're going to come out toward the end of May.
00:07:27.020But all of a sudden, tail end of April, early May, the communication just went dead silent.
00:07:33.540It's like everybody in the industry just agreed, we're going to focus on the vaccine, nothing else.
00:07:40.300And then fortunately for me, I got connected with Michael Yeadon, who for 30 years was an employee of Pfizer company, his specialty toxicity.
00:07:49.540He was, in the end of his career, the senior vice president in terms of research for Pfizer.
00:07:54.380he could not believe what his colleagues were developing he was beside himself he said you know
00:07:59.960Ron there's a whole list of ingredients that we do not put into injectables because they're toxic
00:08:05.280to the body when I found out that they were going to produce an injectable that caused the body
00:08:11.120the body cells to produce something that was toxic to it he literally could not believe that
00:08:18.540you know researched it further and found out no that's exactly what they're going to do so he came
00:08:23.120out and became very public of it. And again, fortunately, he educated me. There was no way
00:08:28.900I was ever going to get that injection. And I started trying to warn people very early on.
00:08:33.660Again, I'm not a doctor, not a medical researcher, but I just used what information was available
00:08:38.680publicly, the VAERS report. I'm the first one that probably got censored with my VAERS chart
00:08:43.280showing this explosion in deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. Now, I presented that,
00:08:49.060I think, end of April to Francis Collins. We had a meeting with a bunch of Republican senators that
00:08:53.000you know dr collins i mean they're all patting themselves on the back because they finally got
00:08:56.040tests okay i'm talking to francis council are you watching veyers i think at the time there
00:09:03.180were a few thousand deaths 46 percent of those deaths were occurring on the day of vaccination
00:09:07.160within two days wow so when i confront him with that he said well senator you know we've associated
00:09:12.680six deaths with the child you know it was a child age bearing women um that associated with j and j
00:09:21.620caused by clotting but those six deaths otherwise he said you know senator people die but that's
00:09:27.340what a cavalier attitude he had toward that so that you know really raised my antenna in terms
00:09:32.160of you know the corruption in terms of cdc the fda the nih in terms of just ignoring
00:09:38.040uh the safety signals that were screaming at them and they continue to ignore it they continue to
00:09:44.360cover it up so no i'm uh i've seen the corrupt sense we should have always been pushing early
00:09:50.460treatment. We should have been exploring. And by the way, he lied to me at the end of December of
00:09:55.1202020 when I pressed him from those hearings. What is the NIH doing in terms of exploring early
00:10:00.740treatment? He said, oh, Sandra, we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on exploring
00:10:04.480every molecule on the shelf. He said, okay, show me where you spend the money. Show me what you've
00:10:10.680studied. Never got that information. So again, these guys have been lying to me since really
00:10:16.660day one since the COVID pandemic occurred, and they haven't stopped lying, and they certainly
00:10:22.820haven't been transparent to the American public. So no, I wouldn't trust them further than I could
00:10:26.700throw them. Wow, okay. Okay, I think something that would be helpful to people, like, especially
00:10:32.340people who are more on the, like, liberal or Democratic side, is when RFK Jr. is talking
00:10:38.440about corruption, you know, what is he referring to? So when you referred to corruption you saw
00:10:43.860the FBI and CDC, etc. What exactly are you seeing? What does that mean? So it takes different forms
00:10:50.760in the FBI, Department of Justice, intelligence communities. You've got people that are generally
00:10:57.380left leaning and they're deep state actors. I mean, they look at a Republican president and
00:11:02.700they definitely say this too shall pass. They probably have the same attitude toward any
00:11:07.380president. But again, they're more than likely to do the bidding of somebody left of center
00:11:11.140president versus Donald Trump. They completely sabotaged his administration. That's that type
00:11:16.240of corruption. The type of corruption that I really hope Bobby exposes is the type where you
00:11:22.180have the corporate interests. I come from the private sector. I have no problem with big
00:11:26.120businesses. I've got a problem when you have a large business using their power to corrupt the
00:11:30.500process, to capture the regulatory agencies. And again, I'm not for big regulation either,
00:11:35.180but we need some. Okay, we actually need a government body that ensures safety of food
00:11:41.280and health. But that agency has to be of high integrity and not corruptible, not captured. So
00:11:47.600what we've seen is these large businesses that are regulated by these agencies, they're not stupid,
00:11:53.780they've got all kinds of power, they figure out how to capture those agencies. You know, you've
00:11:57.860got a revolving door of personnel. You remember the kind of famous video with James O'Keefe where
00:12:03.020he's interviewing a guy from Pfizer and just talking about the revolving door. You take a
00:12:08.420look at all the FDA heads that are now either on the boards of directors of Moderna or Pfizer or
00:12:14.420whatever. It's a revolving door. So it's corrupted the process. You see the royalties being paid
00:12:19.980to government employees. I mean, you pay a government employee a royalty on some patentable
00:12:25.420drug. Are they going to really do a very good job of determining is that really safe? And we've
00:12:32.420seen it time and time and time again of these drugs just you know some of them just flying
00:12:37.520through the approval process like the the covid injection um yeah without the science backing it
00:12:44.020up billions being made so again it's really it's that corporate capture of the agencies
00:12:51.120the revolving door and so they're doing the bidding of the large companies as opposed to
00:12:57.180protecting america's health whether it's with big pharma whether it's big ag whether it's big
00:13:02.080um food processing the military industrial complex remember why is eisenhower warned us
00:13:07.560about this in his is in his farewell address the military industrial complex he also said
00:13:12.480you know be careful of federal government funding of research it will corrupt research it has
00:13:18.460you know 70 percent of scientific studies there was a survey done in nature magazine in 2016 70
00:13:24.740percent, the data can't be replicated. That's insane. You had the head of the New England
00:13:31.640Journal of Medicine resign in 2000. She later started writing about why she resigned. I'm
00:13:37.660going to read the quote from, this is Marsha Angel. This was in 2009. She said, similar conflicts
00:13:43.900of interest and biases exist in virtually every field of medicine, particularly those that rely
00:13:49.300heavily on drugs or devices. It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical
00:13:54.860research that is published or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative
00:13:59.580medical guidelines. She said, I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and
00:14:05.860reluctantly over my two decades as editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. Now, again,
00:14:11.160she resigned in 2000. So we've known about this now for decades. And you understand how powerful
00:14:19.020these interests are okay the big corporations big government they've suppressed all that truth
00:14:26.480and what I hope Bobby Kennedy do can do is expose all this so that more people have their eyes
00:14:32.640opened as certainly I did as a million other Americans have have had our eyes open during
00:14:38.320COVID we saw we saw what a miserably failed response that was and they're still not admitting
00:14:44.340it they're going to do it again with now bird flu or some other you know pandemic x they've got i
00:14:51.160mean they're so bald as they're just coming up with a name you know yeah something's going to
00:14:56.100happen and we're going to have to take control that's you know the whole the all the amendments
00:14:59.480to the who treaty and stuff so we need more americans we need more people globally with
00:15:05.420their eyes open in terms of what is happening to us why did i decide to build an online university
00:16:25.920So I've always, from my experience, being chronically ill and managing to put it into remission with diet, which was mind blowing to begin with, I got skeptical about anything I knew beforehand because it was like I had total faith in the medical system and then I fixed it by removing foods, something like incurable by removing foods.
00:16:48.180And so I lost faith in a lot of institutions. Do you think the solution to the corruption is as simple as not allowing, like you said, the revolving door? I can't even believe that's allowed. I thought that they would have put some sort of rules in place so that you couldn't work at all these institutions. That seems to be just the logical thing to do.
00:17:08.200that and then the government payouts from these large corporations that needs to stop are those
00:17:14.780the two simple solutions to the corruption problem at least that bobby kennedy is looking into
00:17:18.760the overall solution is the truth yeah uncovering it and and uh you know exposing it but i think
00:17:26.380there's three fundamental problems right now uh maybe four in terms of what you're talking about
00:17:30.380the royalties but but first is again the corruption of science we need a high integrity
00:17:36.140arbiter of the truth within science now there's a whole reason why science is corrupted yeah
00:17:40.920federal government funding other people funding i mean if you're funding research you're going to
00:17:45.040get the result you want okay so those who fund it get the result they want that's not science
00:17:50.580um when it comes to vaccines i mean the fact that you have no liability and listen i'm a
00:17:57.300private sector guy i avoided lawyers in the judicial process like a plague okay lawyers
00:18:02.020aren't my favorite profession but they play a key role in terms of adversarial process to keep
00:18:10.080people honest okay um and and the other fundamental problem is is pharmaceutical advertising i mean
00:18:18.360if you look at those ads i mean i have no idea what those drugs are for but if you listen to
00:18:23.880all the side effects which by the way they only have to publish a portion of them if they had to
00:18:29.140list the entire list of adverse events that they know about with these drugs it probably take two
00:18:34.800minutes of the commercial so the only reason they're spending billions on media and social
00:18:40.000media of pharmaceutical companies is to capture the narrative and they captured it during covid
00:18:44.600they were able to capture to such such a extent extent that they were able to censor people like
00:18:50.020bobby kennedy or my veyers chart uh they they turned the truth into misinformation and malinformation
00:18:58.140OK, so that's got to be a real problem.
00:19:01.160And, you know, the other issue you're talking about, the revolving door, the royalties being paid.
00:19:05.180I mean, that's just an obvious area where corruption is going to occur.
00:19:10.520So, again, there's some fundamental issues that need to be addressed that way, which would go a long way toward, you know, helping fix the problem.
00:30:24.020Now, there are other, you know, commerce, you have to set the rules for the road.
00:30:27.000Again, I think it's a very legitimate activity of government to establish some high-integrity arbiters of science, you know, of drug safety, food safety.
00:45:39.000well good job on the chart life-saving yeah that's for sure life-saving chart
00:45:46.240wild wild okay well do you have any concerns of like oh my gosh actually you're probably i mean
00:45:55.620you're more aware of this than me what's going on in the news about whatever's happening in
00:46:01.940ukraine recently do you have any knowledge about that is any of that true biden allowing more
00:46:06.880long-term missiles do you know anything about that yes is that real yes it's real and there's
00:46:13.300no there's no there's no strategic purpose to it from i can see i mean they're they're launching
00:46:18.100these things at russian positions around the area within russia that uh ukraine made a push into
00:46:25.300um so it's not going to change the tide of the war um it is provocative it's you know it's a
00:46:32.660dangerous escalation. So Jeffrey Sachs, he's a person of the left, right? He gives the most
00:46:39.480accurate and salient explanation of how we walked our way into
00:46:44.400threatening World War III, going back to 1991. I'm assuming he is starting out with the basic
00:46:53.300agreement between James Baker and Mikhail Gorbachev that basically said, we're not going to
00:46:57.840push NATO one inch to the east. And we've come, Bobby talks about this all the time, we've come
00:47:02.740hundreds of miles. And then, even though, you know, okay, Putin basically accepted that, right?
00:47:08.420Said, but Ukraine, that's a red line. You do not threaten putting, and we kept, kept pushing him.
00:47:14.680We spent, I think, $5 billion, what the reports are, you know, McCain and Victoria Nuland fomenting
00:47:19.900the revolution of dignity, which sounds good. I mean, freedom-loving Ukrainians, yeah, let them,
00:47:24.120let him escape Soviet domination and come toward the West. Nobody ever told me as a member of the
00:47:32.500Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the European chairman of the European subcommittee, that
00:47:36.000Ukraine was a really divided country. It might be 50-50. Half of them really would rather be
00:47:43.120governed by Russia. The other half wants to go. Nobody explained that to me as I'm making
00:47:47.400codels there and trying to support the freedom-loving people of Ukraine. Then you push it
00:47:53.180further and threaten nato by the way i think you you probably could have prevented that war just by
00:47:59.420telling uh putin okay okay don't invade we're not going to offer ukraine nato membership that would
00:48:08.600have been a good bargain right yeah they didn't do that um so in the end putin invaded now it's
00:48:15.640just a bloody state and okay you can say a lot of people you know blow it off say ah he'll never use0.50
00:48:21.740nuclear weapons i will tell one i'll tell you one thing putin will not lose this war yeah he's in
00:48:27.200the war is existential to putin okay he will not lose this war and he does have nuclear weapons so
00:48:33.500let's not press him uh the only way this war ends is in a negotiated settlement every day that goes
00:48:40.440by the settlement gets worse and worse and worse because more ukrainians die more russian conscripts
00:48:46.620die i take no joy in that and more of ukraine gets destroyed so they send these attack comes
00:48:51.200into ukraine and what's russia's response a massive strike at ukraine's infrastructure
00:48:57.020shutting down the electrical grid so that's going to have to be repaired we're just we're just
00:49:03.400increasing the destruction of ukraine so that again every day that goes by whatever settlement0.66
00:49:09.520we're going to get is going to be worse and worse and worse and of course don't want to settle
00:49:13.400because can't let putin win well he's not going to lose and in the meantime ukraine just keeps
00:49:19.060losing more and more and more and more makes no sense it's insane yeah i just don't understand
00:49:27.900why it was done so close to you know a change in government like why why did it just happen
00:49:35.680it seems rather dramatic to happen right before there's a huge shift in government
00:49:39.780i don't know is biden literally trying to sabotage the the trump administration oh my gosh i have no
00:49:45.720I have no idea. I can't explain the action of these radical leftists, people like Biden and
00:49:51.220Harris and Obama. It makes no sense to me. It's not actions taken for the benefit of America and
00:49:58.120the American people. Yeah, that's for sure. That's for sure. Okay, well, is there anything else you'd
00:50:05.360like to tell people about? I think you've answered all my questions, but is there anything people
00:50:09.440should be aware of. But we haven't talked, spoken a whole lot about, you know, how we met is really
00:50:15.900the issue of chronic health and what we need to do to be healthier. How did you, how did you get
00:50:22.300interested in that? There's so, I was so shocked to ever be in a position where I was in Washington
00:50:27.400talking about diet. I was just like, that's never, you know, that is never going to happen.
00:50:32.620So how did you get interested in that? It wasn't cool when Senator Crapo showed up and he was able
00:50:38.280tell his story like you were able to tell yours yeah it's completely unscripted yes definitely
00:50:43.840that came about because of podcasts so i somebody sent me or i saw tucker podcast with casey and
00:50:52.180callie means yeah and it resonated with me i mean casey has got dr means has got such a great
00:50:57.760way of explaining mitochondrial health our metabolism uh you know how we get all of our
00:51:04.800energy from the sun, we convert that into food, you know, planted animal food, and then it's our
00:51:08.940body's chore to break down that food and turn it into energy efficiently so we can heal our body.
00:51:13.920So again, she does a great job of just explaining that in layman's terms. So,
00:51:17.600you know, I like that. I called up her contact, started talking to her, and I said, well, this
00:51:22.940is the kind of information, because I remember Tucky said, you're going to change the world.
00:51:26.640And I don't disagree with that, okay? So I wanted to highlight that. You know, I kind of learned
00:51:31.480that you know got the formula by the way i think my public events are far more effective than
00:51:36.120hearings because in hearings it's just members of congress you know arguing and you know grand
00:51:42.000saying that kind of stuff my events you know i didn't talk much right i gave i gave an opening
00:51:47.600statement and then i i had a little discipline i told all you guys get 600 words keep it to that
00:51:52.700and then yeah um but i let the panelists talk and i don't know have you tracked how many views
00:52:01.560your presentation or clips of your presentation have had oh i'm a lot the oh my gosh one of the
00:52:08.160clips i put out and it was kind of an overview that's in the millions i think my speech is
00:52:12.720something like 300 000 and then dad's is similar you know it was good and then the clips did very
00:52:17.660well you know those round tables are very popular multiply that times i think we had like close to
00:52:23.160two dozen presenters each with an important thing to say i still think again yours was fabulous
00:52:30.360dr chris palmer his his one statement where he said whoever they are they don't want to discover
00:52:36.660the root cause yeah yeah i mean that that is the that is the root cause right there
00:52:42.120we can't ask the questions you know bobby kennedy has been vilified for just saying what what's
00:52:49.620causing autism i mean could it be the fact we've gone from three to 85 doses and we're giving him
00:52:56.540multiple doses i mean could that be i mean could it be cdo i mean i don't know i don't know what
00:53:01.860i will say is i want to be a very honest arbiter of how this transpires i mean i i know a lot of
00:53:09.220people in that panel have very strong opinions that it's this or that or whatever. I don't expect
00:53:15.500you really listening to my opening statement. My final paragraph was basically making the statement
00:53:20.540that I'm amazed. It's a marvel how much mankind has learned at a accelerating pace. We know so
00:53:28.280much, but what we don't know vastly exceeds what we do. That's for sure. So we have to have that
00:53:35.240humility so again i don't want to i don't want to blow up the ag culture industry i don't want to
00:53:40.080throw the baby out with the bath water here i mean if there are safe pesticides that help us
00:53:44.780feed the world feed ourselves i don't have a problem with that but you know we ought to ask
00:53:49.500because i think we've just been lied to that okay gmo stuff isn't fine well i don't know
00:53:54.800show me the uncorrupted science yeah by by people totally outside the industry as opposed to what's
00:54:02.820been funded by the corporate interests. I mean, show me the truth. And that's going to take a while
00:54:07.380for us to really develop that or to analyze it and kind of come to those conclusions. But again,
00:54:12.840I know there are people going to be lining up to do everything they can to destroy Bobby and his
00:54:19.240efforts and keep him from being HHS secretary. I mean, I don't know, you probably don't know this,
00:54:23.920But within two weeks, over 200 ag cultural interests, you know, groups, wrote a letter to the chairman and ranking member of the House and the Senate Ag Committee.
00:54:38.500They didn't mention our panel, but it was definitely directed at what we were exploring and just, you know, saying we can't let this go on because we're going to destroy our ag culture industry.
00:54:50.480We're going to not be able to produce food.
00:54:52.420And, again, is it maybe a little over the top?
00:54:55.860I think they have legitimate concerns that I think we need to address.
00:55:42.240There is always ultimate truth, but it's difficult for us to discern it.
00:55:48.900So, again, we need to approach this with a real humility and a genuineness of purpose of what we're trying to, again, we're just, we're trying to understand what is causing autism.
00:56:00.800What a horrible thing to have happen to a family, and it's happening to more families almost at an exponential rate.
00:56:09.180Wouldn't our country or world be so much better if we could solve that?
00:56:13.500Well, in order to solve it, we have to ask the questions, and we haven't been allowed to ask the questions.
00:56:18.900So, again, that's that's that's my main point is allow us to ask the questions.
00:56:23.480Don't don't vilify, don't destroy the people that just have the honesty like Bobby Kennedy.
00:56:29.820I mean, he didn't seek this notoriety on childhood vaccines.
00:56:34.020It was thrust on him when given the science, he just couldn't close his eyes and understand that, you know, there are people's livelihoods at stake, you know, in food processing, in agriculture.
00:56:47.360So we have to understand the other people's perspective and just try and move forward as honestly as we possibly can.
00:56:54.840And I think a lot of the fear of having RFK Jr. come in is, you know, this is what I hear from the left, too, is he's going to cancel vaccines.
00:57:04.760Like, we're not going to have vaccines anymore.
00:57:07.000They don't understand that what he's looking for is transparency and no corruption.
