Well, they're taking the food out of food and they're replacing it with chemicals. I think you and I have talked about this previously in the past, but why is it in the government's best interest to do so? Well, it all comes down to money, right? It all comes down to kind of fiat.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
It comes down to the reserve and the fact that over the years, the government has inflated our currency so much and they have misappropriated so many of our dollars and pumped so much money into the economy that the primary area in which people can actually understand how little our money is worth is through food because it's really the breadbasket, right?
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
And actually, interestingly, in a lot of the indices over the years, they've removed food from that kind of breadbasket, the means by which they measure the value of our dollar. So as they make our food cheaper and cheaper, they're artificially giving us the impression that our dollar is worth more than it really is. It is in their best interest to do so. Otherwise, there would be mass revolutions.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
revolutions around the world has all come back to food. We've seen it because people can't buy food, right? The basic sustenance. So the idea is we create this massive conglomeration at the top, this merging of government and private business creating kind of, well, really it's fascism, right? And if we tell them what they can put in our food, we remove all of the nutrients, we make it cheaper.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
And the cheaper it is, then there's the general appearance that things are still affordable in the United States. So we can print all this money on the other side and they won't realize.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
Yeah, the GMO movement that did start in the 60s and the 70s has obviously been credited for stopping famine, just like you just described right now. However, what happens with new technologies always in the form of a government manipulation becomes the curse that it was intended to avoid.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
Because GMOs went from just really creating a system in which we can grow some more of these commodity crops to let's continue to genetically modify. Let's patent that modification.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
Let's give a handful of corporations the ability to work hand in glove with the government behind closed doors to continue to manipulate the food supply and manipulate the food supply in a manner in which we give power to a small handful or cadre of people. Right. So look at what's happened with Monsanto. Look at what's what happened with a lot of these corporations.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
patented modifications on our crops and fertilizers, et cetera, which have, once again, consolidated the hands of our food system, agricultural, terrestrial, all across the board into a few big corporations and has made the food less healthy. It's ruined the soil. There's been all these unintended consequences. So it's the same idea.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
Yeah, you have something good and then the government gets involved and it turns into something bad. It's the same old formula over and over again. That calculus could be repeated in every single industry, every single conversation.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
I like talking about it through food because that's approachable and people understand it as opposed to a lot of the obfuscation that we see in other areas of the government. But now look right now, right? Geoengineering. We're seeing a lot about cloud seeding and these chemtrails, et cetera. Let's put the chemtrails aside. Let's just talk about geoengineering in general.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
and manipulating the environment, the air above us. That is a fact. That is a proven fact. And so much of it hasn't been studied. And yet the government kind of controls those mechanisms by which they're engineering the ecosystem. And what's the long-term effect of that going to be? Some of it is said to be good right now, just like it could have been with GMOs in the 60s and 70s.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
But now fast forward five decades, and what do we have going on?
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
Now it seems like she's got this long-term dry eye situation. I think she's been hanging out with the chickens at night, but we can talk about that behind closed doors.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
Just a mere question itself should not be a catalyst for backlash and being called a conspiracy theorist. And this is what I see out of Maha, right? Everybody kind of has their own definition. Some are very, very specific. Some are kind of really granular. And in my case, it's a bit more nuanced.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
And I think from a much grander perspective in the sense that, number one, we're talking about all this. That's key. Number two, the information is transparent. I don't believe we're going to get into a world where we completely flip the government upside down and we're able to shake out big pharma and all the corporate interest that's already stitched into the framework of the government.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
Instead, I believe that it's going to be a one or two or three step process. We got to stew the meat. We can't boil it. So what I see happening right now is that the media is trying to create conflict within the Maha Maga movement because it scares them. Because as Jack said, it's one of the most powerful political movements we've seen in probably 100 years.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
And in what they're doing, though, is they're telling on themselves because now we're in this stage one piece of the conversation and we're all talking about it. And now it's under this microscope. People are going to be loud about it.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
And it's my goal here to get people to understand it so that if anything, if this thing does start to get pushed through, that there's labeling and there's no mandates, there's full transparency. transparency on this from the food all the way through that supply chain. And that in and of itself is a bigger success from what we saw in the previous administration.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
So to that point, I give it two thumbs up.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
Yeah. I mean, already Wellness Farms, which is the arm of kind of the wellness company that's going to be focusing on food, we're bringing together a really great portfolio of products from great local beef to eggs to chicken to, sorry, poultry, and then some perishables as well as talking about freeze-dried and prepared meals, seed oil-free.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
All of this is going to be accessible directly to the consumer. So once again, flipping that supply chain upside down and creating that direct-to-consumer conduit so that we can start getting the right foods and and getting it outside of this kind of complicated supply chain. I also find it very funny that whenever you start talking about intelligence, I always have to leave the room.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
It's been that way my whole life.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
I appreciate that. Well, I don't know what to call it, actually. Just a bunch of people having fun in the kitchen. It is on Rumble at American Gravy. I am on YouTube, but primarily on X as well at American Gravy. And we'll have a few more outlets we'll be announcing here in the next month or so. Appreciate you having me on, especially on the heels of talking about Envy.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
I was very envious about that wonderful conversation.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
It's been interesting. I always say if you want to understand politics and you want to get an MBA in politics, start on a city level in city council. It was pitched to me as a few meetings a month. I'm probably up to meeting number 100 right now. But I genuinely love it. It is fascinating. Understanding city politics, the general plan, the strategic plan.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
I also get about 50 emails a day about potholes and speed bumps and left-hand turns that should be put in place. So it's the granular stuff and the broad stuff. But the city of Huntington Beach right now has multiple lawsuits against the state of California. for their overreach. We're a charter city. So many of the things that are trying to force down upon us are elite, not just illegal.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
I mean, it's unconstitutional. More recently, Measure A, which is our voter ID that was passed unanimously here in the city of Huntington Beach by voter and obviously city council. We were sued by the state of California. And then because they said we couldn't do that by state law, but we're a chartered city and we recently won that lawsuit.
Ask Dr. Drew
FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA for Bird Flu… Where Is MAHA? w/ Jack Posobiec & Chef Gruel – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 476
So Huntington Beach being a 7-0 majority is gonna set the state for many other cities in California and hopefully around the country where we can fight this craziness and show that you can do it on a local level. So that's really important.

Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
Well, I'm stunned. I think, Brianna, in the same way that I would expect most FBI people, current and former, are really shocked. I've heard from many of them in the last 24 hours. And this departure from 117 years of history and tradition is really remarkable, not because it's historic and that's a reason for continuing, but because the demands of the job are so unique.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
They are so, so broad of such immense scope and responsibility that it takes people an entire career, 15, 16, 17, 18 years before typically they're ready to fill this role. So a deep understanding of the FBI, its mission, how it accomplishes that mission, the different tools that are available. to be used, the capabilities of the workforce, all those things go into it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
So bringing someone who has no connection to that whatsoever is really stunning and dangerous, I would add.

Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
It's great to be back. Thank you so much.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
The go-to dish is definitely prime rib. Maybe like braised lamb or lamb shoulder. I see some of that, but primarily prime rib. And based on the questions I've been getting, it's like 95% slanted to prime rib. So that's the go-to.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Yeah, I say spoon tender. I want to be eating my prime rib with a spoon, maybe a spork, but most likely a spoon. You know, everybody, they make a lot of mistakes with their prime rib because they think that if they just sear it really, really high and hard, it's going to seal the juices in. That is a misnomer, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
So what you actually want to do is first you want to salt your prime rib 24 hours ahead of time. So you salt it, right? You let it sit in the refrigerator. It's called a dry brine. That salt goes in and out of the meat multiple times. It breaks down those protein strands. and it actually seasons all the way to the center of the meat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And then what you want to do is you want to just rub it down with some butter and throw it in a low temp oven, 250 degrees, and bring it up. It's going to take about three or four hours, right? And then you bring it up to about 110 degrees. And then you put your seasonings on there at that point, right? You pull it out. You can put like garlic on there, spice, seasoning, bacon, whatever you want.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And you blast your oven to 500 degrees. And that's when you sear that outside. It's kind of known as a reverse sear in the industry. And then at about 120, 125 degrees for a good rare to mid-rare, you pull it and you let it sit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
When you cut into it, what you'll notice because you started at that low temp is you're going to have that perfectly even color from edge to edge with a nice crispy exterior as opposed to those gradients where it goes like gray, lighter red, hard red. lighter red, gray. You just got one even color. Because of the pre-salt, you've broken the meat down and that low roast.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Most people don't know this, but actually between the temperature of like 80 and 115 degrees, there's enzymes that live in the meat that break the meat down. If you bring it up to temp too quickly, you kill those enzymes. So it doesn't do its natural tenderization. So that low heat is what you want. And then you just got to let it rest for about 10 or 15 minutes. And there you go. Bob's your uncle.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You'll be eating it with a spoon.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
I mean, our economic problems would be cured if people ate like that. 20% of our federal budget goes towards health care that are all a result of a lot of these chronic diseases, right? I mean, everything from diabetes to obesity to autoimmune disease, hypertension, you name it, the list can go on and on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And I'll tell you one thing that I think is really funny is if you actually take a graph and you graph out the size of the USDA, the size of the FDA over the past 30 years, and then the number of chronic diseases and how sick we've gotten, the bigger the government gets in those agencies in particular, the sicker we've gotten.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
So, I mean, even if you want to pull out to 30,000 feet and say, well, what do we need to fix? I think the most immediate thing is you realize is that the government's not helping us. They're making it worse. So that's first and foremost.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
It is, and it's not just the sugar. I mean, the sugar is obviously a driver, but it's also a lot of the other chemicals that you mentioned that are in our food, including things like seed oils and all these inflammatory products. But what's interesting is that it's the Food and Drug Administration for a reason. I mean, you just described coming off of a drug, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Described coming off of an addiction, whether it's alcohol or any type of other hard, illicit drug. The same thing happens to our bodies, but then when your body starts to get nourished, it almost changes the mind as well. Your mind recognizes, because... The majority of our neurotransmitters, funny enough, are actually in our intestines, not in our brain.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
That's why many times, especially the pharmaceutical agency, when people have stomach issues, they treat them with antidepressants or anti-anxiety pills. Now, I'm not advocating that, but I just think that's an interesting kind of story that shows how your stomach affects everything and what you eat affects everything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
There are so many anecdotes out there nowadays, and most of them are also scientific, that prove that how fixing your diet will fix your body. But the problem is that takes time, it takes effort, it takes energy, but most importantly, it takes a relationship with your food and being in the kitchen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And, you know, when I look at this whole RFK confirmation, one of the things that he's done is bringing this attention to food. I mean, food has symbolized unity throughout history, right? Bringing people together across cultures, generations. Good food is more than just sustenance. It's a tool for bringing stronger relationships, drawing inspiration from traditions like
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
like the family dinner table, right, and conversations around food. If we get to know our food a little bit better, cook a little bit more, then you're going to be able to have that stronger relationship and break those addictions. Now, the second piece to that is that you can't have the drug dealer around 24-7.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And unfortunately, in this case, the drug dealer has actually become the government and big food manufacturers. And, you know, if they're incentivizing us to continue eating this food through so many different mechanisms within the government, from subsidies to just general marketing, then we're not going to be able to break that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
So, you know, Kennedy talks about the awareness of food, which is important, as I just mentioned. But then, number two, reexamining the structure and the relationship that these major food companies have within our government and our food system. I mean, four major companies control more than 60% of the US market for pork, coffee, coffees, beer, bread.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
The top four companies control more than 80% of the US market for beef, baby food, pasta, soda, right? So they've gotten a grip on us and we need to break that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
One thousand percent. I mean, there's a silver lining in every curse, and that's one of them, is that it did bring together multiple factions, a diverse group of people. And I saw it, you know, hands-on in the restaurant industry, which is notorious for being incredibly progressive and liberal. And I saw chefs and restaurateurs and even, you know, the individual-level workers saying,
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
that have completely changed their tune and are now on this Maha Trump train who were, you know, they were out there protesting capitalism six years ago, right? So it is pretty amazing what I've seen. And the reason I think that the restaurant industry was at the tip of the spear was because it's something people understand.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
I've always talked about this kind of government driven curse of knowledge. They use all of these confusing legal terms and all of this jargon and the semantics to confuse the American people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
and then what they do is they lie to you and propaganda and headlines of these bills things like the inflation reduction act right you read the legalese and you're like i have no idea what this says and then they say no it's an inflation reduction act and the average everyday person says okay sounds good to me well you can't do that with food because we all know food going back to my original point food is the great unifier so you're not going to pull the wool over our eyes and now finally we're holding people's feet to the fire and drawing awareness to this and i think that it's a great thing once again
