BEHIND THE SCENES of the star-studded Tulsa health freedom event

Time Text
Alright, welcome to this behind-the-scenes look at the events in Tulsa recently.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Thank you for joining me.
These are some humbling and very profound events, and in some ways hilarious events that took place at the Rhema Bible College in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during this three-day, well, I guess it was two days at that Bible College, but it was a three-day event for all of us who were speakers and so on.
Some amazing things happened there.
And I want to share with you this message.
You will laugh.
You will be amazed at what you're about to hear.
These are things that happened behind the scenes that you did not see in the videos.
And some of these are hilarious things.
And God taught me a very important and humbling message that's the theme of all of this.
And the message is to never judge people by the way they look.
To only...
Appraise people by what's in their heart, which is also, I believe, what Paul was telling other church leaders in 1 Corinthians about none who are of the world can appraise your value, but he who is spiritual can appraise all things.
That's a paraphrase or close to the quote.
But let me tell you what happened because it's so funny and it's so profound.
So first of all, imagine there's security everywhere.
Security guys, former special forces, former military infantry, a lot of testosterone around.
And Lin Wood's security detail was a great bunch of guys, and General Flynn had his own security detail, and I had my own security guys, and so on.
There was a lot of security, right?
And then into this mix...
Comes a man, a remarkable man named Chris.
And I regret I don't remember his last name.
It's a little tricky, but we're going to get him on the show because you've got to meet this guy, Chris.
He's like a force of nature.
Now, Chris, I think he lives in Arizona because he flew out from, I think, Tucson.
And even in the airport...
Chris was wearing, I think, gold spiky dress shoes.
So actual gold spikes on the shoes.
He's rocking a mohawk, kind of like a blondish mohawk.
And he's obviously a bodybuilder.
And he's got a very square jaw face, but he's jubilant all the time.
I mean, he's very joyful.
And he turned his body into a sculpture of fashion.
And he dresses in a very fashionable way that...
That, I mean, most people would never go to that much trouble to dress like that.
And so he's also, he's almost overly jubilant, but he had such a positive effect on everybody that this guy became like the favorite person of all of us behind the scenes at Raymond Bible College.
And he's probably going to hear this podcast too, so I'll just say, Chris, you're awesome.
We gotta have you on the show.
You made everybody's day.
You made the event happen.
Now, his role at the event turned out to be...
No, let me just back up.
If you saw him in the airport just walking through...
With all his fashion and his spiky shoes and his mohawk and everything, you would not normally think, if you judge somebody just by the way they look, you would not normally think, oh, this guy's coming to a Bible college event, a pro-faith, pro-America, conservative-leaning event.
You would not think that.
If you were to judge somebody by the way they look, you would probably say this person is probably a leftist, typically.
I think that would be most people's first impression.
Some people might say, well, maybe he's LGBT. I don't know, maybe his doesn't matter.
But you would not expect him to be at a Bible college, right?
Well, turns out he was the most effective person behind the scenes at this whole event, and he was a connector.
And his role was to help media people get interviews and just connect people with the media so we could get all these conversations going.
And he did an amazing job.
He was super effective.
Now, when you drop him into this heavy testosterone, high-security thing, You know, there's guns everywhere.
I'm packing a gun.
Security guys are all packing guns.
You drop Chris into this, and you might wonder how that would go down.
Well, Chris won over everybody, and he became such a popular guy because of how, again, jubilant.
He was joyful.
He was optimistic.
He would make your day.
If you talked to Chris for five seconds, he would brighten your mood.
I mean, he really had that effect.
It was enthusiasm that was absolutely contagious.
But not only that, he won over so many people, and this is the funny part, that at one point, one of the security guys, again, like a macho military guy, He and I were hanging out, and we just happened to be looking in the direction, and Chris was standing there.
Security guy leans over to me and says the following, quote, I'm not gay, but that man has beautiful calves.
And I just about lost it.
I was like, that is the funniest thing that I have heard all day.
And I'm like, you're right.
That man does have beautiful calves, because Chris had put on these very I like body-shaping, tight slacks, or not even slacks.
I don't know what you call them.
I guess we'll have to ask him.
But his body's a sculpture.
And he did have nice calves.
It was like, wow, this guy really pays attention to detail in everything he does.
In his fashion, in his hair, in his shoes, and in his bodybuilding.
But to hear this former infantry grunt say, I'm not gay, but that man has beautiful calves, that just made my day.
So Chris, if you're listening, you have no idea how much joy you brought to people in ways that you weren't even necessarily part of the conversation.
People love you, man.
It was great.
But the lesson from God, and by the way, God taught me He gave me three lessons that day, and I'll share all three with you here.
The lesson there was never judge a person by their looks.
You can only judge someone by their heart, by their spirit.
And if you try to take a first impression of someone walking around in spiky shoes and a mohawk and beautiful calves and fashion and very flamboyant and so on, if you just take a first impression and you think you know that person, guess what?
You're wrong.
You don't know that person until you know their heart.
And so that was the first example of what happened.
You know, God's message to me that day.
The second example has to do with hair dye.
And as you know, if you've listened to my podcast, I have, from time to time, when I'm talking about Antifa and all the different craziness of Antifa and how they're attacking people, Law enforcement and so on in cities like Portland.
You probably heard me comment about blue hair and green hair and how these people are nuts and they have facial tattoos and nose piercings, but always blue and green hair, it seems, or similar colors.
And what had happened to me is that I had begun to associate blue and green hair dye with crazy people.
And that is wrong.
And that is wrong.
And I got a reminder about that this weekend when I met several people, beautiful people, beautiful in their spirit, who had dyed hair.
And one woman had very audacious purple hair.
And she was rocking some tattoos as well and some body art and things like that.
And I tell you, if you had put her in an Antifa crowd, she would have fit right in visually.
But her spirit was nothing like that.
You know, here she was at a Bible college and pro-faith and pro-Christian and believes in In this important cause.
And for her, what she was doing was just personal expression.
It wasn't a political statement.
It wasn't screaming, oh, she hates America, or anything like that.
It was just a personal statement to say, this is who I am, and this is how I like to express myself publicly.
And she was beautiful in that expression, and it just really hit me.
It was like, wow, I cannot judge people by just having hair color.
That's And I guess I've seen too many photos of Antifa arrests, and all the arrest photos are like demons with blue hair.
But guess what?
There's a lot of people with different hair color that are angelic.
So that was the second lesson.
And then I was reminded, I was humbled again because as I was noticing the different hair colors among fans and I had many, many fans there, hundreds that would come up and take photos and I would sign their hats and their books and their shirts.
And so I was signing so many things.
It was crazy.
I had like a Sharpie going the whole time.
And I was noticing the different hair colors of the different people and at one point this woman who was just beautiful in who she is just had this incredible energy, this aura surrounding her face.
And she was a fan and she came up for a photo and I noticed I thought I saw a tint of blue in just beautifully silver hair.
And her hair was nicely done.
It was artful.
It was just really gorgeous.
And she was joyful.
And it was so wonderful to be able to see her face-to-face and experience her joy as we met.
And I actually said to her, I said, what color hair is this?
And she answered in a bit of a disappointing way.
She said, it's gray.
And it was like, dude, there's no color in this hair.
This is gray.
And I said, wow, okay, it's gray, but I got to tell you something.
What you are doing with your hair right now, it's really beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Just nicely done.
I thought I saw a hint of blue in it.
I thought you had colored it this way because this is a fashion statement today.
You know, people would love to have your hair because it is really beautiful.
And she was surprised to hear that because it sounded like maybe she was disappointed that it was gray.
But I got to tell you, it was beautiful.
And so that was my lesson, another lesson from God, to say the one time I thought somebody had hair color, they didn't.
It was the natural gray hair, and it was beautiful.
And she was beautiful with that hair.
And her inner beauty just came out the whole time, by the way.
But I was, again, I thought she had dyed her hair to be that way because it worked so well.
Okay, and then there was a third example of this, is God was teaching me in a lesson of threes, basically.
God was teaching me not to judge people by what they look like, which I don't think that I do, but maybe I was judging people by hair color before, so I need to be really careful about that.
I always try to look for people's merit, you know, what is in their soul.
But, you know, the first impression, the first reaction...
Can influence us in the way we think about a person.
So when I was at the dinner the night before the event in Tulsa, and it was kind of a VIP dinner, and by the way, my voice is a little bit hoarse because I've been speaking so much for the last three days, so that's why I apologize for that.
But I saw a man there who is an African-American man, chiseled, Rocking some really interesting hair.
And I think he came in in a trench coat.
And I thought to myself, you know, this man, clearly, he's associated with somebody here at this event.
He didn't look like security to me.
I thought maybe he was like a marketing person for one of the other speakers or something like that.
Or maybe he was with Clay Clark.
I didn't know.
But I recognize myself thinking that his actual look, like this guy could be an undercover drug guy infiltrating the underworld because he could fit in.
I mean, he could take on a criminal look.
I'm not saying that he looked like a criminal or that he was because he wasn't, turns out.
But he could move in those circles, fitting in visually, even though that's not what his heart was.
And so I decided I want to introduce myself to this man.
I want to meet him.
And I don't recall his name.
It wasn't a common name, but I introduced myself.
I said, Hi, I'm Mike Adams.
I'm one of the speakers here and just like to meet you.
And it turns out he was law enforcement and that he became part of the security team.
In various ways for the event.
I think he was with the sheriff's office there in Tulsa County, but I'm not sure.
He might have been PD. That wasn't clear to me.
But he was law enforcement.
And I'm willing to bet he probably did undercover work.
So, once again...
Maybe you might meet someday someone who's undercover and they're playing a role and they're trying to fit in.
Someone who might be trying to look homeless or trying to look like a criminal, whether it's a white criminal or a black criminal.
And that person might be the most amazing person that you've ever met.
You just don't know it until you get to know their heart.
So that was God's third reminder to me.
To say, guess what?
Never judge someone by the way they look.
Which, again, I wasn't, but I could see that it would be very easily to misjudge this person by the way they visually looked at first glance.
And with so much of this happening in America today, where you've got this media narrative and this political narrative to try to separate people by the way they look, where they're teaching the black students to hate white people or at least to fear them, And they're teaching white people to hate and fear black people.
All this racial divide.
And they're doing this.
They're trying to teach people to judge you by the way you look.
And they're trying to teach black people to be in an instant victim class.
And they're trying to teach white people to think that they are instantly oppressors because of the way they were born and the color of their skin.
And that is dangerous.
That is treacherous.
That is...
Satanic.
It's evil to do that because the answer to this is for us to reach out to each other.
When you see someone and you're in an appropriate context, you see someone that maybe you think, wow, that person looks maybe like a criminal or that person has got crazy blue hair or that person looks really flamboyant.
They couldn't possibly be A Christian or whatever.
Whatever you think.
I want you to check that.
And I'm going to do the same.
Because I think I have misjudged what blue hair means.
And I'm going to correct that.
And I'm going to be very careful.
And work to know someone's spirit.
To know their heart.
Instead of just going with that first reaction.
Because guess what?
The first reaction is wrong.
In many cases.
Now then, on the flip side of this, something else interesting happened, and it involves men's fashion.
And if you saw the videos, you know I was wearing a very expensive suit.
The whole ensemble of what I was wearing, the suit jacket and the shirt and the slacks and the tie and everything, I mean, it is a couple thousand dollars.
Just letting you know.
Very famous brands that I don't know anything about.
And people would come up to me at the event.
Some who knew me and some who didn't know me, and they were really impressed by the suit, which I found strange because, of course, you know I never wear suits, not normally.
I only wore this suit out of honoring Clay Clark's professionalism and honoring the Rhema Bible College.
I wanted to dress appropriately to the venue because I really honor that college and how they were able to make this available and have a very important pro-God, pro-Christ message.
And so I didn't want to walk in in my ranch pants like I normally wear.
Like, oh, here's the health ranger.
Yeah, I just finished cleaning the chicken cage.
No, I mean, you got to dress up to show some respect, right?
So I dressed up.
In fact, I think I dressed up more than I've ever dressed up in my life for this.
And people, fans would come up and one woman said, ah, I know that tie.
That's a, what was it?
A Talbot or something.
The Talbot tie.
That's men's fashion.
You nailed it.
And I think she said, you really know your fashion.
And I was like, oh, how wrong you are.
And I do not know anything about fashion.
And I can't wait to get out of this thing, frankly, because I am not used to this, but people can positively misjudge you if you're dressed up and think that you know something about men's fashion, which I don't, right?
But I noticed that, by the way, the interesting thing is this suit really gave me an advantage.
I mean, people did take me more seriously, even media people who interviewed me, they absolutely took me more seriously because of the suit.
And I find that thought kind of disturbing because I try not to judge people by the clothes they're wearing.
And surely everybody knows that You know, an evil person can buy an expensive suit.
A lot of evil people own expensive suits.
Doesn't make them less evil, does it, right?
And if you judge somebody by just their fashion, they're wearing a high-dollar suit, that might cause you to miss the fact that not everybody's a good person, right?
So we've got to have discernment.
You might have a Christ-like person who looks homeless, you know, right?
And you might have a very evil, sinister person who looks like a million bucks.
So we've got to have discernment.
And I wasn't used to walking around in a high-dollar suit.
But I've got to say, it definitely worked in my favor during this event.
I could feel it.
I could see it.
People were giving me just a lot more attention.
They wanted me on camera more.
I did so many interviews with other media outlets.
And I think the suit gave me an edge.
I had, like, suit privilege is what was going on.
I know it wasn't white privilege, but it was suit privilege.
So I guess I have to thank the men's fashion outlets in Austin for hooking me up with this and the gay sales guy who knew what was good men's fashion.
Frankly, I mean, he's the one who got me into this thing.
And bless him for doing it.
Because otherwise, I would have been out there in a T-shirt or something, you know?
Alright, now there's one more thing, one more little story I've got to share with you that's along the same theme.
And again, it's powerful.
I was able to interview Melissa Tate.
And this is an extraordinary woman.
She escaped Zimbabwe.
Her skin is black.
She's an immigrant.
She's a woman.
She is a highly successful entrepreneur.
She is a Trump supporter and a Christian.
I know, I'm right.
You're thinking, wow, how does all this go together?
This woman is completely obliterating the liberal narrative about black victimhood.
She's obliterating it.
She's black.
She's an immigrant.
She's a woman.
And she has achieved incredible things in this country because of our still largely free market system.
She was not kept down because of the color of her skin or the fact that she's a woman.
And so I was honored to be able to interview her for about 10 minutes.
And we're going to have her on later, by the way, on a video interview.
But I asked her the question during the interview.
I said, Melissa, have you ever...
You know, the media narrative is that conservatives and Christians would automatically discriminate against you just by looking at you.
Have you ever been discriminated against or felt discriminated by anyone in the Trump community or the Christian community or conservatives?
And she said never.
She has never experienced...
Any kind of racism or discrimination or marginalization for being a woman or being black or being an immigrant, none of that.
Never happened to her.
And she said, in fact, the worst discrimination has come from the left.
It's the leftists who discriminate against me, she said, because of my beliefs, because of my values.
And that's right.
She nailed it.
It's exactly right.
And I said to her, If you think that's bad, if you're getting discriminated against by the left, you should try being a white male for a change.
Yeah, try that on for size like me.
Then you'll get discrimination.
And she laughed.
It's like, yeah, that's so true.
But she said leftists would tell her that she's betraying the progressive movement for being, you know, like a fake black person or something.
How insulting is that?
Like, just because of the color of your skin, you're supposed to, what, vote for the Democrat slave plantation or something?
That's totally insane.
So Melissa Tate teaches all of us this humbling lesson to never judge someone by the way they look.
Don't judge people by the color of their skin or their gender or what you think they are.
And God also reminded me of that lesson three times during the event.
And I hear you, God.
I got it.
I got it.
And that event changed my view of hair color.
And it really was a reminder about Chris to, you know, just because some man with beautiful calves is walking through with tight pants and spiky shoes doesn't mean he's not a man of Christ who's going to be a powerful person in the world.
You never know.
How God moves through people.
You never know.
Do not discount anyone.
Make sure you learn what's in their heart.
Appraise them by their heart.
And as you are moving through the world, be authentic in your own spirit and your own heart so that in the hopes that people might appraise you or judge you with honesty and in a meritocracy type of system.
Don't you want people to give you credit for who you are?
Well, make sure you give that credit to others for who they are as well.
That message came in loud and clear, and I wanted to share that message with you.
And there's a lot of comedy in that too.
And oh, one other thing that's just to add to what's funny about this.
I'm not the only one there who wasn't used to wearing suits a lot.
One of the security guys, I'm not going to say which team he was on, but one of the security guys who's a big guy, obviously a warrior, he ripped his pants off.
Sitting down.
He ripped his slacks.
Because believe me, these little flimsy fashion slacks are not going to hold a 275-pound warrior who could bench-press all of us stacked on top of each other and just split the pants.
Well, guess what?
One of the people on my team, one of the principals of Natural News, was able to find a sewing kit.
That was there at the Bible College for some reason.
I guess they need to do repairs on whatever's going on.
They have their own attire, right?
And they go on camera and so on.
And there are weddings held there.
So that probably explains it right there.
They need to fix up wedding clothing.
You don't want an angry bride with a dress that's not sitting just right or an angry groom for that matter.
But The person on my team found a sewing kit, and while this security guy was wearing the pants, she sewed them up.
And just imagine the image of this big, brawny, muscular, you know, security grunt guy.
With split pants, and a woman is there sewing them up while he's wearing them, and he trusts her.
He's like, you know, I hope you have some needle control there, girl, because this is a sensitive area.
And it all went fine.
Got his pants sewn back up.
He's in good shape.
Wardrobe malfunction, repaired, back in business.
But that happened.
That's a behind-the-scenes thing that actually happened.
And there's so many other Profound, but also hilarious, sometimes joyful things that happened that were eye-opening and God moving through each and every one of those things that happened.
It was the most humbling and the most inspiring thing.
Two days of my life.
I just can't remember anything like this.
So there's a lot more that I'm going to share with you about what happened.
Well, that sounds like it's negative.
What transpired?
I mean, it was a breakthrough for America and the future of humanity as far as I'm concerned.
It's all good news.
I've got all kinds of good news to share with you.
But I'll do that in some other subsequent podcasts.
But I just want to share this one with you first here.
It's so funny.
I'm not gay, but that man has beautiful calves.
Like, we should make a t-shirt out of that or something.
It's great.
So have a great day.
I'll have more for you soon.
