Time Text
Thank you.
Welcome everyone to Brighteon Conversations.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon.com.
Today we've got just an incredible guest.
I met her at the Tulsa Health and Freedom event that just took place not long ago.
Her name is Ann VanderSteel.
You know her as the host and founder of Steeltruth.com.
She's also a journalist and does amazing interviews with a huge number of very important people.
And she joins us today to talk about Steeltruth.com and America and what's happening in the world.
So Ann, thank you so much for coming on.
It's great to have you with us.
Mike, it's my honor and pleasure to be with you.
And I had the fortunate opportunity to meet you as well in Tulsa, Jerusalem, as people are now referring to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where God and country has now sent a shot heard around the world.
And it was people like yourself and speaking out and bringing truth to what's going on in terms of why we're in the middle of this pandemic and why we're probably looking at a famine.
And now clearly the race war is upon us because they kicked it off with the George Floyd, Derek Chauvin event as you know, it's just this is all the things they need, the ingredients to cover up, which is really what we know to be the global reset.
And they desperately need it because they've burned down all the fiat currency.
So they need to start over.
But yeah, great, great to be here.
Let's get into this, right?
Because let's get the truth out.
People need to fully understand all these jigsaw puzzles.
It's one thing to look at a piece, but it's another thing when you put them all together and see the big picture.
Well, what I love about you and your show is that you are able to talk with a lot of knowledge and awareness about all of these topics.
I mean, you just mentioned the culture wars.
You just mentioned fiat currency.
You have economists on.
You have doctors on.
You know about...
I mean, the breadth of your knowledge is really vast.
But before we dig in deep on some of these topics, I have questions for you, but give us a quick background for our audience because this is the first time I've had you on my show.
Thank you for coming on.
But I want to give people a little flavor of sort of how you got into doing this.
So give us a little bit of your resume if you would please.
Well, I sort of come by it honestly.
My parents were very politically active when I was a child growing up, and I watched my mom run for city council, become the first woman elected.
My father was an Ayn Rand aficionado.
I was reading Hatless Shrug by the time I was 12, and I've read it three times.
Actually, four.
Excuse me, four times.
And he was friends with Ronald Reagan as Governor Reagan, and my father being a libertarian, We had a bumper sticker on his car that said, fight organized crime, abolish the IRS. So this is how I grew up, helping do mailers, helping my mom send Scud missiles in the form of the pen to our town, and just basically exposing people.
It was like very James O'Keefe-ian of my mother going undercover using Art Buchwald name, who was a very famous op-ed writer for the New York Times.
And she penned information like that.
So I'm exposing things that if people from my town are watching this, they now know who was behind the Buchwald pieces.
It was my mom.
But I got involved early on.
I thought it was fascinating.
And just growing up in a patriot family, you can't help it.
It wasn't until I worked for President Trump in 1990 and 91 in Palm Beach at Trump Plaza that I met him and I realized, wow, this would be an extraordinary.
This is just post the Reagan era, by the way.
We're into the Bush era.
I said, he'd be an extraordinary president.
Gosh, I really hope he runs someday.
So for all those years, I pined for President Trump to be President Trump.
And when he decided to take that trip down the escalator after a couple of, you know, threats of he might do it sort of a thing 10 years before then, I said, how can I get involved?
And I was in a position at the time helping some gentlemen that were getting some micro studios built around the country and finding talented.
So I was working with Bill Mitchell.
I met Bill Mitchell and started doing the Your Voice America podcast.
And we were very big back then, back in 2016 and 17.
We were the biggest, in fact.
But censorship came in and all the games that played.
And I found a little space doing deep dives on stories, starting really with Scott Bennett's shell game story.
And then I had a lot of whistleblowers come to me and I kicked off Steel Truth inside the Your Voice America umbrella and eventually split off.
And the show has become what it's become.
And I partnered last year, this time with producer Liz, who is a 30 year seasoned mainstream media broadcast producer, big time from the, I won't say which one, but she's very, you know, very big.
And, uh, She's helped take my show to a whole next level in terms of telling the story using video and elements to make it more engaging to the audience.
And it's just kind of taken off.
And I love it.
I wouldn't be doing this.
I couldn't do it any other way.
So I do get news from you and other broadcasters like yourself that are putting great content out because you're another sort of reference point for me to go, I feel like it's this direction, what I'm seeing.
And then I go to experts like yourself and I go, Okay, I'm getting confirmation.
Or I learned something.
Wow, I hadn't seen it that way.
Awesome.
And I incorporate a lot of that stuff into what I do.
So it really is a we the people thing when it comes to new media.
It's not just we the people, the government, but we the people, the media.
We have to be honest and hold ourselves accountable.
And you do a fantastic job of doing it.
So here's how I got here.
Well, we're all doing our part, but your show airs, it's live also each weekday evening at 9 p.m.
Eastern.
Is that it?
That's correct.
We're a live show weeknights at 9 p.m.
Eastern, and it's a blast to do because, you know, live TV is live TV. Stuff happens.
Right.
It does.
It's kind of like watching a train wreck or a car crash.
When you're at NASCAR, you're like waiting for something to happen, hoping they walk away safely, but it is kind of fun to see someone wreck live on TV, and that happens every now and then.
Not too often, but it does.
Well, give us just some of the names of people that have been on your show.
I mean, when I was in your temporary studio in Tulsa there, I was sitting right next to one of my heroes, Colonel Phil Waldron, and I got to talk with him and Dr.
Rose and others.
But who else has been on your show just in the last couple of months, let's say?
Oh, Sidney Powell, Patrick Byrne, General Flynn, I've had Dinesh D'Souza on, Charlie Kirk on before, Corey Lewandowski, a lot of people from the Trump campaign in terms of spokespeople, Katrina Pearson, stuff like that.
But I have to say some of my favorite interviews are the people that are the ordinary American citizens.
Mike, because they are doing extraordinary things, and that is what I feel is my job.
And staying in my lane as a journalist, I feel it's imperative that if I actually am blessed with a platform that's getting a light shined on, that I can redirect that spotlight at people who are actually doing the work, the we the people contingents.
Like the folks I had on stage, Shelby Bush and Steve Robinson, and Eric Winook, who's their third wheel in that trio over there from We The People AZ Alliance.
They're the reason Maricopa County has a forensic audit underway right now, despite all of the shenanigans from the left, despite Mark Elias and Perkins Coy throwing flags on the field.
They have zero jurisdiction there because the state Senate has plenary power, meaning if they say it, so be it.
It goes.
And Steve Shelby and Eric Winok used their power, their voice, to reach out and mobilize the citizens in Arizona to put pressure on the state Senate and force the Senate to do the forensic audit, basically telling the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa, you have to do this.
You have no choice.
And this is where I feel like, Mike, you and I have such a gift and that this is what we need to do is looking at those people that are just everyday American citizens and reminding them they're the boss.
I mean, they're the boss.
You're the boss.
You're a taxpayer.
I'm a taxpayer.
When we elect somebody, they work for us, not the other way around.
And this hero-worshipping sort of medium manifestation of these people in terms of Hollywood prestige is ridiculous.
I mean, frankly, they should be shining our shoes.
When I walk into Capitol Hill and I'm sitting in the Senate chambers listening to a hearing, that politician should say, thank you, Ann, for coming today.
Not...
Disregarding the fact I'm even sitting in the gallery.
They should be thanking us that we're here because we care to what they're discussing.
It's important.
And we've got to re-engage at that level, Mike.
Seriously.
Agreed, agreed.
Right now, those politicians think they rule over us.
They don't realize that we only grant them limited power.
But let me ask you about censorship.
So your platform, because you tell the truth at Steeltruth.com, of course, you've been subjected to censorship like all of us have.
But yet, at this moment, we have what I'm calling the re-platforming of America, which is all these new platforms launching.
It's happening right now.
Not only the platform that I founded Brighteon, but Mike Lindell's Frank Speech is in the rollout process.
You've got Pure Social Network.
You've got Andrew Wakefield is launching his new platform as well, and so many others.
Cloud Hub.
CloudHub, exactly.
Yeah, I interviewed Jeff, the founder of CloudHub.
Really impressed with what he's doing there.
So how are you now maneuvering to use new platforms and make sure that you can still connect with your audience that loves to see your shows?
Well, it's a matter of just setting up an account and streaming to it because we use Restream and other tools to actually take our feed and push it out over numerous platforms now.
We're on Red State Talk Radio.
Somehow we're still on Facebook Live.
I can't explain that because I've been jailed so many times.
I still have a stream going there.
It's a little anemic because they shadow banned it so badly.
But our own website, steeltruth.com...
Actually has our live feed hosted by CloudHub's live streaming platform.
So Jeff Brain, the CEO, fantastic individual, allows us to do that.
We're on Rumble.
I've set up a Brighteon account.
We're going to start putting our content on Brighteon.
And of course, Lindell's platform, we're going to be putting our content there as well.
We have to put it everywhere because...
You know, with the internet, while we say, well, we're not on Twitter anymore.
We've been kicked off.
I've been kicked off LinkedIn twice.
Forget it.
I'm not going back.
Don't care.
But the fact of the matter is, Barack Obama gave away ICANN, and the keys to the kingdom, literally the keys to the internet, have been given to bad actors.
And at any point...
They can say, your IP, your stream is not getting out, and it's forcing us to constantly reinvent ourselves.
So I know that people like Elon Musk have put satellites up.
We still have a long way to go before we have a real internet that's not going to be interfered with by the cabal, the deep state.
But until that point, it's incumbent upon us to do what we need to do.
And thank you so much, Mike, for standing upright, Tion.
That didn't come at any, you know, that was a great expense for you to do that and make that investment because you believe in free speech.
And for that, people like myself, we're eternally grateful because without you and Rumble and others, we're dead in the water.
I mean, you know, there's just, they keep kicking us off.
I don't have the finances to do what you're doing.
And like I said, kudos to So I think everybody's, we just want to SEO ourselves.
I'll spend money on search engine optimization.
So when they type my name in Ann Vandersteel, they'll find me on all of these platforms, including yours.
And that's, you know, our mission here.
And what we need to do to support what you're doing is drive people to you so that it builds your business as well.
Well, for those watching who don't know, we just launched our live streaming engine last week for the Tulsa event, and I got data after the event, updated, and we ended up live streaming to 400,000 plus people over two days.
And so that engine is going to be made available to you soon, you and your team, and many other people who are just dying to use it.
They can't wait.
And it's just part of this process, this organic, spontaneous process of mission-driven people building platforms, like Jeff Brain at CloudHub, for example.
And I haven't met the founders of Rumble yet.
I would love to, because I'd like to learn more about them.
But I say use all the platforms where you can trust the founders that they're going to stand for free speech.
That's what I say.
Mike, I couldn't agree with you more.
And the fact that you had such success with live streaming, because Steel Truth was one of the people that was using the feed coming out of the Rhema Bible College, and we were streaming to CloudHub to put that stream out as well.
They were having issues.
Your feed wasn't, however.
Your feed was fantastic.
So we started restreaming your feed as well.
So for that, we were totally...
Yeah, absolutely.
It was...
Again, for people that don't know about health and freedom, that whole conference was stood up in less than 45 days, really more like 25 when it all came down to the nuts and bolts of it all, to get 4,500 people in a room and all the vendors and all the broadcasters and all of the influencers and, of course, the big names like Mike Lindell, who God love him.
I absolutely love Mike Lindell.
To get all these people together, What I found is that because people are so interested in getting this information out and being able to use technology like your Brightie on live streaming, people just sacrifice.
They don't care.
They spent their own time and time to get there.
They weren't looking for anything except, hey, we've got to save our country.
And I really applaud you because it's your mission over ego approach for By standing up live streaming, which is extremely expensive for people that don't understand how it works.
Just because Mike's pushing a stream out isn't the cost.
It's how many people are coming and getting that stream and extracting it, pulling it out.
That's where the cost is.
The more people you have hitting your platform, the more money it costs you to put that stream out.
And I don't know if your audience understands that.
What you're doing is a massive investment in making America great again.
So again, bow down and thanks to you.
Well, you know, the dynamics of this are just amazing.
And I want to ask you a business question here in a second, but let me just offer this going off your comment.
We thought it was going to cost us maybe $50,000 in bandwidth to stream that event.
And I was okay with that.
It was worth it.
I mean, Clay Clark sacrificed, you know, his...
Family time and life to put this together.
The Rhema Bible College said, you can restream it.
Nobody claimed intellectual property or anything.
Just share this information.
So I said, you know what?
If I have to write a check for 50 grand to share this, so be it.
It's worth it.
But guess what?
Because we built a peer-to-peer engine into our system, the actual bandwidth cost was so low, it was a small fraction of 50,000, and we already earned it back on Brighton store sales this week.
It's paid off because of the support of our people.
So this is just God's gift to say, yes, keep building the ark.
You know what I mean?
Just keep hammering away.
I love it.
Now, my question...
I'm sorry, go ahead.
No, no, no.
I'm just so excited.
I'm bursting over here.
Again, we have a segment called Patriots Powering Patriots on Steel Truth.
And it's true.
Patriots are standing up and powering patriots like yourself.
I am just like beaming with pride for the people in this country that understand the value of what you're putting forth.
I could just cry.
I'm so excited to hear this.
They are supporting us.
And they also support you.
And so I want to ask you the business question.
Some independent media organizations have gone to a paid model, like a monthly subscription.
You have not, and you have sponsors like this company, this Elderberry company here, and you gave me some of these during the show.
Thank you so much.
I was drinking these in my post-show recovery as I journeyed home, and it was fantastic.
But why did you choose that sponsorship model lately?
For example, instead of a paid model, I'm just curious.
Because I really feel that information needs to be free.
If we're really serious about taking back our country, about standing up the republic again, about exterminating the deep state, the cabal, the criminal financial holdovers that are strangling this country and bleeding us dry, we have to make this content available for free.
It has to be.
I do this job.
Mike, I can only imagine.
You probably work 18 to 20 hours a day.
I work that much as well.
If it's not research, it's I'm on the phone with people.
I'm talking to people.
I'm investigating stories.
There's a whole lot to it besides the six hours I sit down with Liz in studio prior to doing a one-hour broadcast because we're pulling all the...
Digital elements together, all the graphics we do, the video.
We script the show in terms of just a timeline.
Okay, we're going to go from here to here to here.
What I say coming out of my mouth is spontaneous, but I know the flow of the show because we're constantly communicating a story, a narrative of the truth that we see happening in front of us and helping people pull these pieces together.
That's a lot of time.
I don't have time to have a regular job.
I can't work at Macy's or somewhere else.
I couldn't have a job selling cars or whatever it is because I spend all my time here.
So the sponsorship model works because patriot companies, companies that produce jobs and or goods and services from the United States in the United States are the companies that we do business with and they're the ones that realize we have to save the United States.
We have to save our republic.
And so those are the people that understand this information needs to be offered for free to the public.
Now, we do offer Patreon and Subscribestar for other individuals that say, you know what, I don't have a business, but I still want to help.
And that's totally up to them.
Pushing it all day long.
It's there on the website.
They choose.
They don't choose.
I'm not concerned with that.
But that sometimes people just want to feel like they have skin in the game.
And I love that because it allows us to communicate with those folks individually as well.
But, you know, really our business is driven by our sponsors and without their support, I can't get on a plane to Tulsa.
I can't buy all the equipment we need.
I mean, and I brought some of the crappy equipment.
You heard my machine that you're like, wow, that fan is really loud.
Yeah, that was really going.
Yeah.
It was a worry.
But again, that's another computer I got to replace.
But the kind of computers you need, those are $3,000 at a pop.
I mean, this stuff's not cheap to do when you start traveling.
And Liz and I want to do our transition to greatness tour.
We're going to get a Sprinter van.
We're saving our money to get a Sprinter van.
Well, that's gasoline.
That's insurance.
That's equipment in the van.
That's a satellite connection.
Go price that stuff.
It's not cheap.
And why are we doing it, Mike?
Because we believe we need to be where the story is and get back to that kind of journalism, continue with the nightly broadcast, but get to the truth.
Not this big pharmaceutical controlled messaging apparatus that is there to serve the globalists, the international banking cabal, and others.
We've got to get to the Mike Adams of the world.
What are you doing over there?
What's hot with you?
What do you see?
Where do you see this country going?
That's where I want to be.
And believe me, when we get that van, I'm coming to Coming to Texas, Mike.
Watch out!
Oh, I can't wait.
That'll be fantastic.
Now, see, I love what you're doing because what you're doing, I call it real journalism.
And wasn't it amazing to talk to so many amazing people, interview them in your studio there, And then if after that Tulsa event, if you then were to turn on CNN for 10 seconds, just the dumbed-down depravity and fear-mongering of that fake media, it's in such contrast to what you and I do and others in our space.
We are now the real media.
CNN, you can't even call them news at all.
It's just a psychoterrorism campaign, in my view.
What do you think?
Total psychoterrorism.
I'm going to recycle that.
Can I recycle that?
I'll definitely credit you for that.
That's great.
I call it fear porn.
Psychoterrorism is probably better.
It's exactly what it is.
You turn on the news and it's all about, obviously, the riots and the recent stuff that's organized, non-governmental organizations' funded agenda to push out well-publicized and prepared.
Here's your flyer.
We're meeting in this park at this time and let's burn it down.
And, you know, journalists like Ami Horowitz, who were in Minneapolis last night.
We're running this clip on our show tonight.
That was amazing.
I saw that.
You saw the clip, right?
I saw the clip.
These people, these black people really believe white people are evil.
They have completely...
I don't even know if they're aware of what Trump did with the First Step Act, what President Trump did in terms of, you know...
Bringing in jobs back into the inner cities.
Remember when he was in Chicago?
What the hell do you have to lose?
Vote for President Trump?
I don't think they're aware that he had the highest African American popularity ratings ever for any president.
You know, it was like 40%.
So this is...
This is what they're not aware of because they're being shoved this narrative of this psychoterrorism from CNN and MSDNC, as others call it.
We have to overcome this, hence the reason why, like Dr.
Cordy Williams, he's a guest tonight, he talks about, on Steel Truth, he talks about You know, showing people how they can run for office, giving them a step-by-step easy plan to do it.
Steel Truth wants to go into the city and I want to show them information like this and go, hey, this is what's really going on and here's how we tie all this together.
These guys over here that own Big Pharma, these guys over here in the banking world that have started the Federal Reserve, did you know that's a private bank?
It's not even part of the government treasury.
Did you know, you know, put all these dots together and show them in pictures where the money goes and how the money is being spent predominantly outside the United States and none of it's coming in to support them.
They're getting their measly, you know, unemployment check, which is pittance compared to what's being offshored in terms of even H-1B visas, the money that's going to pay these people.
It's disgusting.
And these poor people believe we're the bad guys and As opposed to the white people up in the fenced-in area of the District of Corruption dumpster fire are taking that money and they're shoving it offshore to the cronies and putting it right through NGOs back into their own pockets.
This cycle is disgusting.
It's amazing how Democrats, they have to keep these problems going.
And just as there was no prominent Democrat that stood up over the last few days and told people, no matter what the outcome of the Derek Chauvin trial, people remain calm.
Respect the rule of law, right?
Respect private property.
There was no Democrat who said that.
And at the same time, think about it.
There was no prominent doctor at the CDC or the FDA or the WHO who told people, hey, you should check out vitamin D, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine.
So the solutions are banned because they want suffering.
I mean, they want disease when it comes to COVID and they want a race war when it comes to culture.
They thrive on problems and they don't want people to solve problems.
That's what they stand for.
Mike, it's pandemic, famine, famine.
Famine, war.
So right now we have the shamdemic, and I know you've talked about this, the Rockefeller plan and their own agenda.
They have all this really well-documented as, quote, possible scenarios in 2023 and 2025, but it's playing out right now.
I know you've talked about this.
So we have our shamdemic, which is supposed to be the pandemic, and we know how fake it is because we've talked about those numbers ad nauseum.
But I can tell you right now, famine is next.
We know China and Bill Gates are buying a farmland in our country like crazy.
They bought, I think, 10 million hectares in Arizona last week.
That was Gates.
The Chinese need to feed their people, obviously.
They've got a lot of people over there that are starving a million a year starvation in China.
But, you know, what's terrifying to me is I have a very good friend in Florida who owns one of the biggest, he's a sales rep, sales manager for one of the biggest meat distribution companies in Florida.
They, you know, sell meat to all the restaurants and the big stores, the supermarkets, etc.
He called me last week.
He said, Ann, I got a story for you.
What's that?
He goes, nobody's at work.
I said, what are you talking about?
He goes, well, all the guys that drive the trucks, the guys that drive the forklifts, delivery, etc., the dock workers, they're all staying home, collecting unemployment.
What do you mean?
Well, they're getting paid more to do that than they are to go back to work and move the inventory.
He goes, bacon's at an all-time high.
I've never seen bacon this high.
It's been 25 years since I've seen bacon at these prices.
So what we're seeing is they're now choking us out of our food supply by making it more appetizing for people to take the unemployment check than it is to go to work.
They're putting the psychoterrorism that you're going to get coronavirus and die if you go to work.
People don't want to wear the mask.
So they'd rather take the unemployment check and stay home.
So now you're going to see food shortages coupled with Bill Gates and the Chinese buying up farmland all over the country.
Heck, there's a farm in Texas.
The Rising Star Farm, right?
The Chinese bought that.
They put their big Chinese emblem up there.
They don't care.
They're in your face about it.
And now we have the race war that's being just fueled by the mainstream media, by the misinformation, and it's only going to get...
More crazy because as things become scarce, then guess what happens?
If you're not a prepper and you don't have food set aside, you are going to have to go to guns.
If you want to go to a store to get food, you're going to need to have armed security to go in there and hope that your money's worth something when you get food.
This is what they want.
They want to destroy this country because they believe that there's too many of us and if they can't control us by taking away our guns and shoving us in homes and masking us up so we shut up, Then they're gonna kill us with these vaccines and with this, you know, continued iteration of this biological weapon that they're launching.
It's unimaginable, really.
I feel like I'm talking about a sci-fi movie, but it's real.
Not only are they going to kill us with the vaccines after they lock us down with the weaponization of food scarcity, as you mentioned, then they're going to replace us with illegals crossing the border who will vote obediently for Democrats.
But there's one more aspect to this.
I'm not sure if you've covered this yet, but fake President Biden just announced government funding for small businesses They say it's to encourage vaccination, but what it is is the government will pay a small business up to $511 a day for a vaccinated person to stay home and deal with the vaccine side effects.
This was just announced.
So, I mean, is this not an incentive for small businesses to send everybody home and collect more than, I mean, just start collecting money for people not working?
And isn't this just going to shut down the economy even more?
Isn't this also an admission that the vaccines are harming people?
My God!
I know, Mike, this is...
And how do people not put two and two together?
I don't know.
But this is why it's so imperative that what you're doing, what Mike Lindell is doing, what others are doing, CloudHubs and others, Dr.
Wakefield, standing up these platforms for people to get this word out.
My biggest concern in all of this, while this continues to happen, is that we are not able to cross over to the demographic that needs to hear this.
because frankly, you and I sort of seem to be talking in an echo chamber every now and then we get new people have never heard of us.
And I did hear that a lot at Tulsa.
I don't know about you.
And I want your answer on this, but I had a lot of people.
I just found you last week.
I just found you last month.
Thank you so much for bringing truth with optimism and giving us a plan.
We need you.
We need you.
And I'm thinking to myself, thank you for coming because if you're not here, we've got nobody to preach this to and get people to motivate and do something.
We're We need them more than I think they need us, frankly.
We need the audience.
We need participation by our American individuals in this country to stand up for liberty and take our country back.
But did you hear a lot of that when you were there, that people just found you?
Heard that all the time.
In fact, one woman came up to me and she said, you're HRR, right?
What does that stand for?
She was brand new, wasn't familiar with my podcast, but had been hearing it for about a week.
I heard that all the time.
Absolutely.
That's awesome.
Well, the Health Ranger rides again.
Yeah, exactly.
But also, let me ask you this, because I've had so many people tell me something that was very surprising to me, and that is that they absolutely depend on, in my case, my situation update.
They really need it to be able to make sense of the world.
Do you hear that about your nightly broadcast as well?
Because I imagine you do.
Yes, I have a lot of people who are just grateful that we show up every night and do this.
And they know that we've been challenged with a lot of censorship issues.
I mean, YouTube would just literally midstream turn us off.
Happened all the time.
So we don't even go to ScrewTube anymore.
I refuse to deal with those people.
They're moronic and imbecilic, and they're, frankly, communists.
And they're anti-human, is in fact what they are.
They're anti-humanity.
But I did hear that a lot.
And that, to me, was so inspiring because...
When you lose YouTube and you lose chat, I was used to several thousands of people in my stream at any time chatting away during a live broadcast, and I could see it and respond and all that.
And CloudHub did have chat, but because they were being punished by IBM on their servers, they moved to a different proprietary video hosting platform, and they haven't reincorporated chat yet.
So I get a little bit of chat on Facebook, what Facebook will allow to happen.
But I was very interactive with the audience, and for me, I miss that because...
Right now, I'm talking to you on a camera, but I have no idea how many people are going to see it.
Arguably a lot more on your audience than on mine, but eventually I'll get there.
I'll grow and grow and grow, and that's important.
But it's important to get that feedback.
And so to be in Tulsa, to be in Tulsa, to be in Tulsa, to be in Tulsa over the weekend with incredible people and get feedback, it told me, you know what?
I need to keep doing this.
I can't quit.
This is my job.
This is my lane.
Don't stop doing this because if I do, while there'll be 10 others to take my place, it's still important that we keep going until we make sure we have 10 others that are up to speed and can continue to march.
We've just got to continue to find more people to do this and reach as many people as possible because we do seem to hit a certain demographic and we need to break out of that mold and get people like On this video that you and I talked about in the inner cities, seeing this and start to simplify and break down and lay terms that they can understand just how unjust the regime in the District of Corruption dumpster fire really is, that they have no problem watching those cities burn down, because frankly, that pendant circle needs to burn down.
It's a waste of time.
It does nothing for the states.
In fact, it hurts us all the more.
Well, and also, I mean, speaking of demographics, every time people see their cities burn, I think some of those people wake up and go to independent media and say, you know, this is insane.
This is enough.
I'm not going to just stand by and do this.
And in fact, what the left is doing is also turning liberals into gun owners, by the way.
That's so true.
Becoming a Second Amendment rally, basically.
Every one of these burn-down-the-city things hosted by Maxine Waters.
She might as well be telling people, go out and buy a gun, because when they say defund the police and we're going to come burn your city down, what's the only obvious answer?
Buy another gun!
That's exactly right.
And by the way, Mike Lindell has proven that people will buy products just to support someone who is telling the truth.
I met people who own like 25 pillows from MyPillow.com.
There's pillows everywhere, right?
It doesn't even matter what Mike Lindell is selling in some cases.
He could sell pencils and people would buy pencils.
You know what I mean?
Because it's about supporting the cause.
But I think the demographic is expanding.
I think a lot of former liberals, especially the classic liberals, are coming over to our side and seeing that we make a lot more sense than the insanity they're seeing on the radical left.
And the other thing, too, that I think people are recognizing is that, you know what, Mike, you're a normal person.
You're a real person.
And as I told you, I was totally fangirling when I met you because I just think what you do is outstanding, not only as a broadcaster, but really as a business person and how you've brought everything together.
And made it a patriot cause.
And you're doing such a service for the nation and for the world, frankly, with the information you put out.
Your natural newsletter.
If people aren't reading your natural newsletter, they're missing out.
Great content in there.
And I love that you always do it with your heart on your sleeve.
You hold nothing back.
People always know where Mike Adams is today.
Is it a good mood?
Is it a mood of consternation?
You let people know who you are.
You're real.
And that was a big message to me from everybody in Tulsa.
They're hugging me and kissing me.
And they're like, you're talking to me.
I'm like, well, why wouldn't I be talking to you?
Your message and your information is just as important.
In fact, I get a lot of news from everyday normal people that aren't sitting here in front of a microphone or the camera.
I say this all the time.
I'm just stupid enough to do this.
I think maybe the Anons had it actually going on for a while because if I would think about doing this all over again, I might have just been an Anon because you can even be that much more weaponized with what you say and what you do.
But at this point now, I've been booted off all the platforms.
I'm letting it fly.
I've got nothing to lose at this point.
I just hope I don't have to be like Lin Wood with Seriously, 360 degrees of armed bodyguards getting me through a crowd because you never know what's coming at you.
There's still some people out there that know they're on the losing side of this trade and they're losing bigly here shortly.
Yeah, you're right.
I got to hang out with Linwood's security team, and there are some great guys and some dudes you don't want to mess with.
And anybody that tried to come for Linwood, they wouldn't have even made it to his security detail because the local sheriff's deputies and the local PD would have stopped him first.
It would have been a useless suicide mission, but thank God everybody was safe.
So that worked very well.
What's your primary mission from here forward?
We only have a few minutes left.
Sure.
What's on your mind in terms of big stories happening right now?
You want to tease any big guests you have coming up on Steeltruth.com?
Or what's next for you over the next couple of weeks that I can share with my audience?
Well, Patrick Byrne and I did a couple of interviews a week ago.
First of all, I love Patrick Byrne, and I mean that in every sense of the patriotic word.
He is a seriously amazing American patriot.
I think his story will be told in the future, and people will go, wow, he really made some incredible sacrifices his whole life.
And it's culminating in this moment in time right now for, as they say, such a time as this.
So I think he's one of those Patriots that while he doesn't have the glitz and the panache of like a Mike Lindell or somebody else that's really out there and, you know, scintillating, what Patrick Byrne has done as a Patriot is...
We've got some big stories coming out with him, a role he played that we've teased on the show that involves a drugging, a rape, and a murder.
Well, we'll just leave it at that.
I can't say any more at this point.
I've been told to embargo this story until they're ready for it to be deployed.
So there is a, quote, plan, so to speak, in there.
And I do believe, I'm going to put it out there, I do believe President Trump will be back.
Will he be president?
I don't know.
But will he be back in more of a leadership role?
Absolutely.
He is sort of a de facto leader as it is right now.
Is he running the country with a military operation?
I have no idea.
But there's a lot of things that lead one to believe that to be true.
Scott McCain, I talk about it.
I know you talk to Scott.
And there's news agencies out there talking about, you know, Hillary was arrested, Huma was arrested, Comey was arrested.
I have no idea if it's true because I can't validate any of that myself.
The stories sound compelling.
And I mean, we all think, my God, they should be arrested.
And frankly, I can't find any recent video of any of these people that I just listed anywhere.
They're not in the news.
Have you seen Pencil Neck Schiff recently?
I haven't seen him.
I've seen AOC Waters.
And that's about it.
And Pelosi, of course, and Schumer.
But there's some people that are missing absent visually from the news recently.
And they were very visual for a long time.
And they're, of course, talking about the Trump-Russia stuff.
So, you know, this is some big stories that are coming out with Patrick that I think are going to rock people's world.
Patrick Byrne is amazing.
I'm glad you're having him on.
He's one person I missed interviewing at the event.
I'd like to connect with him later.
But, folks, check out Stealthruth.com to see those upcoming interviews.
When are you running those interviews, Ann?
I'm waiting for Patrick to get back to me.
We actually had a couple.
We had one up.
He called me and said, can you take it down?
So I did.
He asked me to put it up.
He goes, we were a little premature on stuff.
I was like, what row?
So we took it down.
We had to take it down off our network.
We're on the Global Financial Wealth Network, which God bless John Barlett, awesome network patriot.
But we had to take it down.
So we'll be putting them back up.
And then the sequel, sort of the boom to that is going to be probably in the next month, I would imagine.
Again, I'm guessing here, but it's how quickly stuff that they have, that they're rolling out.
And there is a coordinated effort.
So I feel good about where we're going.
And I wouldn't want to be a James Comey or a Hillary Clinton or anybody from that cabal at all at this point.
Well, I'll share this.
A prominent person whose name most people would recognize talked to me privately at the event, and it's not Patrick Byrne, but that person told me, quote, you know Q is real, don't you?
And I said, well, I know there are elements of that that resonate with the truth, like child trafficking.
But I also know there's a lot of disinformation out there that's trying to throw chaos into it.
So you tell me more.
And this person gave me some more information.
And there are many people who are confident that Trump is coming back.
I mean, Mike Lindell, I think, publicly is saying Trump's back in the White House in August.
I hope he's right.
Me too.
I don't know how that happens, but I hope he's right.
And the thing is, never underestimate Mike Lindell, right?
That's for sure.
Never underestimate.
Ivan Raiklin was on last night and he talked about the 12th Amendment and the path to the 12th Amendment.
And it starts with people like Stephen Shelby in Arizona, Maricopa County, doing that.
Wyndham, going to Antrim, Michigan, Georgia, Philadelphia.
There is a path to getting the states to flip their electoral college votes around.
It's whether or not the remedy will be actually President Trump gets restored as the president.
Well, that is yet to be seen.
We'll see about that.
But...
I'm hopeful.
I'm very hopeful.
At the very least, Mike, we need to make sure Americans understand what's at stake and that they do their part in taking the country back.
We've got to wake up the patriots.
Period.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Well, you're doing a fantastic job achieving that, and I want to encourage everybody to check out your channel, Stealthruth.com.
Thank you.
Watch your videos, and I know you're going to be posting your episodes on Brighteon.com soon.
Do you already have your channel set up there?
I have a username and login.
I've got to now sit down and figure out how to make sure I get the channel set up properly.
I believe I've started that process, but Liz is actually the genius on that stuff, and I don't like to get in the way of that because I screwed up the Rumble channel, I don't know, months ago, so she had to fix that.
Well, I can assign our customer service manager to work with Liz to help that out because we really want people to be able to find you there.
Yeah, absolutely.
So keep doing what you're doing.
You're doing amazing work.
Thank you for everything and thank you for joining us today.
It's been an honor to be able to speak with you here for the first time.
Same.
Thank you so much, Mike.
