Time Text
All right, welcome everybody to Bright Town Conversations.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And at the recent Tulsa Health and Freedom event, I met two extraordinary women.
They are known as the Resistance Chicks and they are homesteaders.
They live near Cincinnati, Ohio on a small amount of property, and they're doing amazing things with it.
They're also part of the independent media.
They were interviewing lots of people, and they're full of joy and knowledge, and they've got a lot to share with you about how you can be more self-reliant and live off-grid.
They're known as The Resistance Chicks, and that's also their website, theresistancechicks.com, and they join me here today.
It's Michelle and Leah.
Michelle and Leah, thanks for joining me.
It's an honor to have you on.
Thank you for having us, Mike.
We are overjoyed to be here, honestly.
We're just a little excited.
We might be a little bit.
We told Andy Wakefield we were fangirling.
I think we could fangirl with Mike a little bit.
He didn't know what it was, so I had to kind of tell him.
At a show, I'm like, oh, we had to kind of give him a...
Oh, my.
Well, now you're making me blush, which is hard to do.
But we don't need to talk about any of that.
I mean, I want to focus on what you're doing.
So, number one...
How did you even get into being the resistance chicks and doing this independent media and being homesteaders?
I mean, give us a little backstory so people can understand how you came to be where you are right now.
So start with the homesteading and that leads into the...
So, we kind of had a passion for just growing things.
We kind of grew up in an apartment with our single mom, and I grew a carrot once, and I pulled it out of a pot on a balcony, and I didn't even know.
We thought it was a weed.
I thought it was a weed, and that was like my first thing, but I kind of got addicted to it, and...
We moved back to Cincinnati to take care of my grandma, and she had this property that needed a lot of help.
And we started a garden.
And the gardening, growing the food, just, it's healthy for your mind, it's healthy for your body, it's healthy for your soul.
And then we watched Food, Inc.
And we recognized, like, I can't buy chicken from the store anymore.
But I'm not going to stop eating good, solid meat-based protein.
So I don't know if you've heard of Weston A. Price, Sally Fallon, Wise Traditions.
So we kind of stumbled across her books, and we started to read about natural healing.
We started to read about how to heal your gut.
Raw milk is just real milk.
And for thousands of years, people have been...
Putting in good bacteria into their body, healthy grass-fed meat into your body, and we're in a kind of an obesity health epidemic, and you know all about that.
And it really starts with not just the food you eat, but the lifestyle that you live to acquire your food.
So it's, you know, there's a thing to the hunter-gatherer mentality.
It's not just going to Whole Foods, which is what you should do if you can, and if you don't have a place to garden from.
But we were like, what can we do?
So we started with chickens, and we got addicted to chickens.
And then we were like, well, what can we do in our acreage?
Because we have friends who grow...
We looked into a lot of different things.
We looked at sheep.
Yeah.
Getting like maybe a couple sheep or looking at goats.
Or a miniature cow.
I don't like goats, personally.
And I don't remember whose idea it was, whether it was our mom or yours or even mine.
I can't remember it.
And we were like, pigs.
We could do pigs.
We raise these kinds.
They're called heritage shops.
They're called coony coonies.
That's K-U-N-E. K-U-N-E. I don't know why it's redundant.
And they're very friendly.
They're great with kids.
And we got three sows and a boar, and they became part of our family.
We brought the boar inside and watched movies to make it friendly.
Really?
So we could have kids around.
And we've hatched chickens, but we've had like, I think, a hundred piglets here?
At least.
And we butcher our own with the Kansas Cowboy here.
He does the actual, you know, dirty deed.
And then we will literally, it's called scalding and scraping, lowering it into the hot water, scraping the fur off, hanging it overnight, lugging half of it up into the kitchen.
We just did two about a month ago.
We never thought that we would do this.
We're city girls.
We're city girls.
But it became like a lifestyle that became exciting.
And you felt like if you were giving your animal love and attention, then they would produce a healthy meat for you.
And I think that that's kind of the natural cycle of life.
And we're not the only ones.
And you respect your food, whether it's a meat or a vegetable or a fruit or a berry.
You respect it when you actually have to put the time in.
Because a lot of people will come to us and say, well, I could just never do that.
I could never kill my own animal because we raise out 50 meat birds every year and we butcher them at the end of the season.
And I could just never do that.
I'm like, but you could eat your meat from a factory confinement as long as it's cognitive dissonance.
Like you don't see it.
Because we give our animals a happy life.
You know, it's extraordinary what you're saying.
I've got all kinds of questions right now.
Okay, go ahead.
So, number one, I am one of those people who I can't kill my own animals.
No, I mean, my goats are like my family members.
You know, I've got five Nigerian dwarf goats, and they talk to me.
I mean, we communicate.
They respond.
One of them responds to her name.
I don't know if you've ever had a goat that does that, but I've got a goat that does that.
Wow.
Yeah, and for the chickens that we have, the hens, It's turned into a hen retirement center.
But I just happen to be in a situation, I'm not short of any money, so I can just buy, feed, and just feed them.
But not everybody can do that, because if you're trying to survive, you can't just have a hen retirement center like I do.
And by the way, all those hens do eventually die.
They just die a few years later, and I find them dead.
They died of natural causes.
And then, what do I do?
I feed them to the vultures.
You know what I mean?
Because that's also part of the ecosystem out here.
But I can't kill my own animals at all.
So I don't know how you do it.
But I mean, you're right.
It's because I don't see it.
But I can eat an animal.
My neighbor killed his own cow.
I can eat that beef because I don't know that cow.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's...
I think that's totally understandable.
See, I come at it from a female standpoint.
I don't know how Kansas does it.
He says a prayer, and he does the deed, and he thanks the animal each time.
Maybe this conversation might...
But here's the thing.
With our hens, our hens are retirement hens.
We do not eat our hands.
So we raise out these, they're called Freedom Rangers.
They're not quite like the Cornish Crosses.
They can range.
Free range.
And we run them kind of in these sections.
On our property.
I've heard of like Jill Salatin and Mobstock grazing.
So we kind of do that on a small scale.
And we can do that with 50 birds.
And that's about as much as we need a year.
Yeah.
And we raise them out.
And it's very interesting because we're in kind of a suburban area.
We're almost on the edge of the country.
We have families who come to our house.
We have families who learn.
They'll bring their small kids.
They'll help gather the chickens.
And we teach them that this is the cycle, that this is kind of because of the fall of mankind.
We need to eat meat.
And this is kind of how it works.
And when you Recognize we do need protein.
So there's got to be a way for us to do it in a way that's healthy for us and gives the animal dignity.
Well, the first time we did it, we were with Amish friends of ours and they showed us.
And so I think that that helped watching them do it.
Yeah.
It was like, okay...
We can do this.
Well, we do the chicken for ourselves.
I'm talking specifically about the pigs.
It's helpful to have a community.
And when you see somebody else do it, it kind of takes the sting out of it.
And so we kind of hold workshops.
We still cry.
Every once in a while.
Do you?
Do you pluck the chickens?
Or do you have a chicken plug-in tub?
We have a chicken plug-in tub.
Kansas built one.
Kansas built one with the rubber fingers.
Right, with the rubber fingers.
The kids call it the chicken roller coaster.
Oh my goodness.
When they come and help.
And so, yeah, you scald them and then you put them in the chicken.
You probably weren't raised this way either.
No, I wasn't.
When you're raised as a child, you understand this is the process and it makes it so much easier.
The first time I ever had to kill an animal was with Having little kids help us, and Kansas was teaching them how to cut the jugulars of the chickens, and they didn't do it all the way.
And I had to, you just have to, in that moment, step up.
This animal is kind of suffering.
We need to do this.
And then I hit a deer, I don't know, six months later with my Jeep, and it had just broken the front legs of this baby deer.
And so I had to take care of that situation.
I didn't have anybody I could call.
And so you just kind of, you rise.
My point is you rise to the occasion when you have to.
Yeah, yeah.
And we have a small little homesteading circle.
And we'll go to one person's house and we'll butcher their 50 chickens.
Or we have a friend that raises out turkeys.
And so we try to encourage one another and lift one another up.
And know that wherever you're at, you can start with just a plant on your balcony.
Yes.
And just touching nature.
There's a healing aspect of being connected to your own food.
Well, you're absolutely right.
I'm really glad you're sharing this.
It takes some courage to share this information.
I mean, our audience needs to hear this.
I hope we're not grossing out your audience.
No, not at all.
I've lost over some stuff, I feel like.
I mean, this is authentic conversation right here.
This is not scripted, but I'll share something personal with you about this.
You know, I grew up in a suburb, and you kind of live in a suburb area, right?
Yeah.
I grew up in a suburb, not on a farm, but my grandparents had a farm, and I'll never forget the first time I was very young, maybe six or something, and my grandmother, who came from a long line of survivors and pioneers and so on, and she's part Native American, by the way, So she said, hey, how would you like to have fried chicken tonight?
And I'm like, fried chicken?
That's awesome, right?
She says, all right, come with me.
Come with me.
She goes out, she grabs a chicken and a hatchet, like whacks the head off on a tree stump.
And I'm like, what?
You mean fried chicken comes from this?
Right?
So, as a child, you're like, there's this dissociation.
And actually, a lot of adults have the same thing.
They're like, oh, there's fried chicken in a bucket at KFC, and they don't think, that comes from chickens!
That comes from chopping heads off chickens!
But when they find out, like when we found out just by watching Food, Inc., then it almost wants to turn you into a vegetarian, which is not healthy.
You have to be able to take it and go, okay, if I can't do this myself, then I at least need to seek out local farmers.
Yeah, and there are so many local farmers.
It's a booming new business of people like us, small homesteaders.
And there's a legal battle there.
You think there's censorship online for just speaking the truth?
Yeah.
There are so many government hurdles in each state to how you can just sell your meat.
Yeah, so true.
It's a difficult, there's a lot of hurdles.
I mean, we've gotten to know Thomas Massey, Congressman Thomas Massey, and Jill Salatin as kind of a friend-ish.
We've gotten to interview him several times.
That doesn't make him a friend.
I know, whatever.
That's like we're friends with Mike.
Well, you're friendly with him.
That counts, yes.
I've eaten him several times.
But Thomas Massey has the Prime Act.
He's trying to get it to where we can just, you can get a small, it's to where you can take your animal to a small butcher without the USDA stamp.
And then be able to sell the meat across state lines because technically you're not allowed to do that.
That's nuts.
Wait, real quick.
Did I get your website wrong?
Is it resistancechicks.com?
You did get it wrong, but that is correct.
Just resistancechicks.com.
Not the word the.
I'm sorry about that.
Resistancechicks.com.
Okay, so people are now really intrigued by you.
We're like, who comes on and talks about raising their own meat on a one-acre plot in a suburb?
Ice-breaking, right?
Right, yeah.
Okay, so...
All right, now, but the thing is, I just interviewed Ice Age Farmer, okay?
And he's awesome, and we were talking about how Oregon and Colorado...
Well, there are groups within those states trying to pass ballot initiatives that would criminalize the things that you are doing or the things that my neighbors are doing here in Texas.
Criminalize slaughtering an animal for food.
I know.
How insane is that?
I mean, how do they think society is going to function without a food supply?
Well, the idea is to get more people onto Big Pharma because if you've got people eating everything, the Cheetos and the Triscuits and everything like that, all the processed food, then you're going to end up Paying big bills down the line.
We talk about big ag, big agriculture a lot.
That's nothing compared to big pharma.
I think the bottom line for everything is big pharma.
The lobbyists, they control because they need the money.
They want to control the people and make us unhealthy.
Healthy people don't need a doctor.
Don't fund them.
If you can get healthy, then they're out of business.
And grass-fed meat of any kind, of any source, is a health food.
It's a superfood.
Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.
And trying to find, like, your website.
You have encapsulated a lot of these natural things, which people...
They're in a suburb.
They can't get a hold of it.
But they need these things.
They need now to put probiotics in their system.
They need now to have all these supplements.
I mean, an apple in 1950 had 26 times more iron than now.
26 times more.
And so when you're eating the food, a lot of people are gaining weight because your body is craving nutrients that you're not getting.
That's right.
Because you're thinking you want the food, but you're actually just trying to get more nutrients.
The soil has been depleted.
A bigger bulk.
So when you, like, Jill Solitin is one of my heroes, and we talk about soil regeneration.
So when you're regenerating this soil and you've got nutrients, animals, you need, one of the things that they got pigs for on Polyface was for compost, for manure, because you've I mean, if you go to a farm show now, you're going to see more manure spreaders than you will wagons, because farmers knew you've got to put healthy things back into the soil, so your animals with...
Whether it's pigs or chickens or cows or horses, it's a cycle.
And it's created by God.
And you think about the bison going in.
They created all this soil.
And what does Joe Biden want to do?
Joe Biden wants us to not eat red meat, to get down to four pounds a year.
A year.
Per person.
We drove through Oklahoma, and in that part of the state, it's like cattle central, and it's peaceful, and it's wonderful.
But if you drive through Ohio, it's all just GMO corn, GMO corn.
And you can even feel the health with grass-fed meat versus this corn that, Biden, you want me to eat GMO corn?
Is that a thing?
No.
Well, that's the thing.
The artificial meat that they want to replace actual beef, the artificial meat is from clear-cut rainforests in Brazil.
It's got a lot of fossil fuel miles on it.
It's genetically engineered.
It has inputs of fossil fuel inputs, fertilizers and tractors and so on.
And the thing about a cow is because there's all kinds of longhorn cows here in central Texas.
And I love longhorn cows are amazing.
It turns out they go out and get the food themselves.
I mean, they walk around and gather the grass and find the water and they'll turn land that's barely usable.
Like you couldn't even grow anything on it.
But a cow can turn that land into an energy concentrator.
Absolutely.
And they can't do that with soybeans.
We are the green people, okay?
This whole Green New Deal is a bunch of bunk, okay?
They're not planting trees.
None of them are talking about...
AOC hasn't come out and said, you know what?
It would be really great if each family made a move towards having a homestead of any size.
You know, they're not talking about anything.
All they're talking about is...
Innovation, electric cars, solar panels.
And I'm not against solar panels or things like that, but...
The idea that we're going to innovate our way to a healthier planet.
We don't need to go forward.
We need to go backwards.
Yeah, a few steps.
Just to go back to, okay, this worked for thousands of years.
Let's start there and then we can go back.
We're the real tree huggers.
And I think that there's a movement within the conservative movement for homeschooling, for homesteading, for canning.
And even if you can't grow your own food, it's okay.
Go to a local farmer.
They're going to have extra produce.
Go to a farm stand and get bulk tomatoes.
Can them at home.
You'll save money and you won't get the aluminum from the cans.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
But what else is extraordinary, sorry to interrupt, but you're doing all of this on a relatively small amount of land, I think about an acre.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah, about an acre and a 10.
So yeah, we can raise almost 50%, a little bit more than our own food.
And then we do the same thing.
So we can't grow sweet corn.
So we go to our local farmer, we bring in the sweet corn, and we'll can it up.
And we get a half of a cow.
Yeah.
Roughly every year.
Yeah.
Because we love...
Our meat, the Kuni Kuni, is a red meat.
And people say it tastes like beef.
But still, you want beef.
Yeah.
So we buy wheat berries, and then we have a wheat grinder attached to a bicycle, and we grind our own wheat because the nutrients are there when it's fresh, and then we freeze it.
So we do a lot of things that make it seem like we're 100% sustainable, but it's because we're outsourcing to local farmers and places that we trust for the remainder of our food.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that makes perfect sense.
Man, I wish you were in Texas because it'd be great to have you as neighbors because we could barter skills and activities and so on.
We need communities like that.
Bartering is fantastic.
We do a lot of bartering with our business and with what we do.
We raise bees here.
I forgot to mention that.
Oh, yeah.
That's so important.
We get about five gallons a year off of two hives.
So that gets us through a lot.
And then we have people that we get maple syrup from.
We outsource.
Yeah.
So our Amish friends, they make sorghum.
Yeah.
Crazy.
And so I'll get some molasses from them and I'll get raw cheese from them and our raw milk.
And so we can make yogurt.
We get about three gallons of raw milk from a local farmer.
Every week.
Every week.
And you can make your homemade cheese.
It's so freeing.
And to know that when you're eating, you're healing your body.
It's not like...
Because I grew up on every candy you can imagine and soda pop.
I was the candy kid.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
I don't know how I've survived, actually.
So to know that what I'm putting in my body now is healing any damage from when I was a child, it just feels good.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
As it should.
I mean, you've really gotten into some very important knowledge and wisdom that's actually taking us back to basics, right?
Yeah.
And I can't help but think, you know, the globalist plan for humanity is to just thrust everybody into these boxes in the cities where you depend on them You know, for your grocery quota.
Here's your palm scan and it's your limit of chicken.
And, you know, you got your government cryptocurrency fed wallet that is automatically taxed.
Yes.
They want to control you.
They want to centralize you.
Where Americans weren't born to be slaves, I don't think, right?
We're supposed to be free people.
Yes.
That means decentralization.
So you're really doing a great job with that.
Go ahead with your question.
No, go ahead.
Well, it goes back to Cain.
I mean, after he killed Abel, where did he go?
To the city.
So the devil has kind of always been found in the cities, essentially.
I always take people all the way back to that.
God's perfect job.
He could have given mankind any job he wanted.
To be a gardener.
To be a gardener was what God envisioned as the perfect job.
That doesn't mean it's for everybody, but if it's the most perfect, it's probably going to be the best for most people.
And then from that, the brokenness and the fall of man led us to these cities.
So the devil doesn't have any new tricks.
So he's constantly trying to pull us from God's perfect plan, which would be mankind in a garden, To mankind in a city.
We've heard of grounding.
Maybe you've heard of grounding.
We're around all these electronics.
And when you go outside and you just let go barefoot on the ground, you can release, they're called positive ions, and you can release them and they'll leave your system.
So we're unindated with all these electronics all the time.
And just stepping outside into some soil, and you can just release that.
And a lot of people are having anxiety, depression, and they don't know.
A lot of it's tied to our being indoors at 70 degrees.
We don't sweat.
We don't get cold.
And our bodies aren't designed to that.
Our bodies are designed to do some intermediate fasting.
Our bodies are designed, you know, for feast and famine, for cold, for hot.
And to allow your body to kind of just...
Whatever climate you're in, to allow your body to connect with the soil there and to connect with the earth, you're going to be healthier and you won't need as many antidepressants.
You won't need any.
As many?
Whatever.
How many are you taking?
Yeah, right?
Well, but we, you know, you probably have, well, I don't know if you do, but like we have people in our lives that come to us and they, they have these problems and the church can pray over them all they want.
And that's great.
It's fantastic.
But we have to start at, you know, okay, let's go to what you can do.
Yeah.
Let's start there.
Yeah, totally.
And nature is the best antidepressant of all.
It is.
Just being in nature.
Yeah, it keeps me going, that's for sure.
You also have, you've got a great channel on Brighteon.com.
I want to mention that.
And the username there is just Resistance Chicks, right?
Yep.
Yep.
Okay.
So brighteon.com, check out your videos there.
Now, what...
By the way, you know, when I first met you, I assumed that you were sisters, but you're not sisters.
We are sisters.
We are sisters.
Oh, you are sisters?
Yes.
She's three years older and I'm three inches taller.
Oh, okay, okay.
Well, I guess my assumption was correct.
So when I was shouting out to your mom, it was...
Our mom.
Our mom, yeah.
You're both combined mom.
That's awesome.
How's your mom doing?
She's doing great.
Fantastic.
Floored.
She's floored, yeah.
She's very excited about today.
Yeah, very excited.
Oh, that's great.
That's awesome.
Well, she should be very proud of you.
You're helping to educate a lot of people.
And frankly, this is also, these are the skills that are going to keep people alive.
Yeah.
Because the food scarcity that's coming down, which is being engineered, is designed to cause famine.
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, when you have Bill Gates funding a project to dim the sun, block photosynthesis and stop plants from growing and like, OK, I have a hard time that he's going to be able to sell that to any significant number of people.
But he wants to do it.
Yeah.
But all he's got to do is convince one country because then they can launch all the planes from there and they can pollute the sky.
You can't stop it from the ground.
What are you going to do?
Thank God Sweden pulled back.
And I think that that's, you were asking, how do we get started with resistance chicks?
That's kind of, well, we run, we have our own home business and we, my mom was like, all these people are online all the time and they talk about news and you guys know all this stuff.
We talk about it just amongst ourselves.
She's like, well, Well, no, we already had the channel.
She said, why don't you start a news channel?
We started one in 2017, and it took off like wildfire.
It was amazing.
We were watching Alex Jones, and he kept saying, you are the resistance.
You are the resistance.
And we felt it intimately that we are part of the resistance.
We're resisting globalism.
We're resisting the terrible diet and food and lifestyle.
The Federal Reserve.
And so we just decided we were going to do resistance checks.
And then Hillary Clinton came out as the resistance.
And we were like, hang on, Hillary.
Wait, we took it first.
People kind of think sometimes we're on the left.
Which helps sometimes.
We can kind of go incognito a little bit.
They're like, oh, you're the resistance?
We're like, yeah.
But we felt it.
I mean, I'm sure you felt it.
I saw, natural news took off like wildfire.
In 2016, it was an oasis.
It was amazing.
Of information.
The right and the left come together.
Social media.
And we just took down Hillary Clinton.
It was so powerful.
I was watching you post.
I was sharing you.
I was sharing Gateway Pundit.
I was sharing Breitbart.
They were at my feet every day.
My friends were all getting their news.
And we were all aware of what was going on.
And then came the slammer, right?
Yeah.
And it then came the YouTube carousel to where it wasn't YouTube anymore.
It was mainstream media.
It was all because of Hillary Clinton.
It was because of the left.
So now if you're news, you're at like page number 25 and ABC, CBS. The people who don't need a YouTube channel, right?
They're on TV. But they're in their little carousel.
So you can try to beat the algorithm.
If you can get to a news story first before the mainstream media, then you can get your video up.
But here's the good news in all of this.
And this is what I feel strongly what we're headed into is God is allowing the church.
I'm going to take a swing here because this is where we always end up.
We end in church.
God is taking the church to, we have to be solely reliant on, there's the appeal to heaven flag, right?
God spoke to me the other day and he said, I'm going to let the church go through this as deep as they need to go until they wake up that they need to stand up and do something about it.
So it's not going to be the YouTube channels.
It's not going to be all of this stuff.
It is only going to be through the power of God.
And it is going to be through the power of God.
There's no question of it.
We saw that in Tulsa.
It is when.
It blew up.
Something happened in Tulsa.
I know you felt it.
I heard it on your channel.
You said, now you see the path forward.
Yeah.
Right?
That's right.
That's right.
Now we see something, because it's been doom and gloom, right?
But the more that they expose themselves, Michelle has a saying, so like, so there's people on the right, and there's people on the left, and the left keep going farther left.
There's a line, and there's people that are lined up close to that line on both sides, but they keep moving their line, and these people aren't going anywhere.
They just now ended up on our side.
And again, we get more people.
So the more, the Bible talks about when the devil rages, it's because God is winning.
Yeah.
And so I'm like, my friends come in there like, Michelle, but it looks so scary.
Look at all these big things that they're doing.
And I said, it's fine.
My whole life I've been waiting for them to drop these big bombs because I knew as soon as they started doing that, then God was on the move around their backside and it was going to be all heck is going to break loose.
They've already been doing it in secret and now it's out in the open.
That's why they have to silence it.
That's why you're silenced.
That's why you're one of the most censored people in the entire world.
You are.
Because your message is so powerful because you speak to exactly what they're doing.
You have their game plan.
The devil hates to be exposed.
And you give it to people and that's why people will be, okay, well, where do I find Mike Adams?
I will find him because that guy has the truth.
Yeah.
And that guy has these answers to what the heck is going on right now.
And now we have to bring the answer to how do we fix it?
Yeah.
The truth is popular, right?
I think Alex Jones has always said that, too.
The truth is popular.
And when we are censored off YouTube and Facebook and Twitter, in the long run, it doesn't matter because people will follow the truth to all the new platforms like RightOn and Frank Speech and all the other platforms where you are as well.
Anybody who wants to stay on YouTube at some point is going to find...
I'm going to talk about someone who's just watching videos.
They're going to say, wow, there's nothing useful here.
Right.
That's what's happened to Twitter already.
It's just a bunch of celebrity butts or whatever.
This is pointless.
And they want to learn something real.
They follow the resistance chicks to wherever you are.
And they do.
And it's amazing that the outpouring of love that we've just received from people who, and now our neighbors are all coming up to us like, what do you know?
And we've had neighbors when they found out that we were going to Tulsa that we didn't even know watched our program.
And then they were coming out and they were handing us money.
Yeah.
To go to the conference.
So it really touched me because, you know, Jesus was accepted everywhere but in his own hometown.
And it feels like, at least for us, we're surrounded by people that are so supportive.
And I think it's because people have, they're fed up of hiding who they are.
Everybody I know has turned off Fox News.
Yeah.
They went to Newsmax for a little while, but it still doesn't hit the, you know...
Like you just said, the truth is popular.
People are hungry for it.
So after the election, faux election, election fraud, whatever you want to call it, November 3rd, our channel, even amidst the censorship, started to explode again because we were the only ones bringing truth and positivity.
Positivity.
Positivity is key.
And it's not a fake positivity.
It's, I know that my God is real and he wins.
Yeah.
Yes.
And all these prophets had said Trump was going to win.
And he did.
And we felt the same thing.
And then after the facts started to roll out, okay, Trump did win.
He did win.
If you win a house and they gave you the keys and somebody steals it from you, it doesn't mean you didn't win it.
It's still yours.
It's just stolen.
Plus, it's also not over yet, by the way.
There are still elements in play.
Arizona happening right now.
Yeah, they're desperate to shut that down.
But let me announce something here and just publicly invite you to be part of it if you wish.
Looks like July 4th is our target date.
We're launching Brighteon TV. Nice!
It's a new news network, news and shows network.
If you want to have a show on Brighteon TV like a once a week deal, you are totally invited.
Are you serious right now?
Yeah, absolutely.
Don't pull my leg, dude.
You'd be great.
We would love to.
We would absolutely love to.
I don't even have to pray about it.
We're going to have, I don't know, maybe eight hours a day of programs.
I'll have a couple of shows a week, and we're inviting a lot of other people to have shows.
But that's what it's about, is to say, okay, what if maybe Newsmax isn't fulfilling enough?
Fox News has turned into like a rhino petting zoo.
That's really weird.
One American news is great, but they don't talk about nutrition and food, right?
They're really focused on the politics.
It's the missing element.
I think it's the missing element.
So where do we go?
We want to teach people about nutrition, preventing cancer, being self-reliant, permaculture, growing your own food, and we are Christians, and we love America, and we believe in freedom of speech.
Where do we go for that?
That's going to be Bright Town TV. That's awesome.
Which should make Bright Town TV take off above all of the other, because, and I texted this to you.
I said, this makes you, like, extremely dangerous when you have that three-fold.
Big pharma, big ag, deep state, you know.
Thanks for the reminder, yeah.
I believe that this is the thing that we need to win.
We need to understand all of the elements, and Trump was missing that element.
He had it on the vaccines.
Do you remember in 2014 where he was like, hey, there's a link there with autism and vaccines?
He had Robert Kennedy Jr.
in the White House.
He actually, he tweeted out, Trump tweeted a natural news article, I think in 2014 or 2015, that was talking about the dangers of vaccines.
Yeah.
So he was in on it.
I'm talking taking it beyond just what Big Pharma is doing.
I mean, our whole society needs to take an agrarian shift.
Yeah.
Right?
Back to the land.
And without that...
We fail.
So, you know, you were talking about, hey, I love to put on my jeans and I love to go clean out the chicken coop.
Well, I don't love to clean out the chicken coop.
I mean, I do it.
Okay, you do it.
But I'm not hoping to do it.
But it's an exercise, right?
Yeah.
So, there's the gym.
And then there's just your lifestyle that is your gym.
I'm hoping that with this shift that God, I truly believe He is making, gyms are going to shut down.
Even health food stores that cater to the rich people that don't want to pick up anything dirty, those will shut down and it'll become just normal life.
For us to have the co-op down the street or, you know, whatever.
Like, just a community where we share ideas, where we share skills, where we share nutrition and God and the truth about, you know, our founding fathers.
Like, I truly believe that God is taking us back to that.
And Linwood said it best.
He believes that we're headed to the second great harvest.
And I think that it's all three of these things, these elements...
Food and nutrition, government and politics, and God that's going to take us there.
It's connected to COVID. It's connected to your health.
You know, oh my gosh, we all need vitamin D3. We need to be out in the sun.
You know, you need to take a supplement in the winter.
You know, there's a lot of things that can bring health and take away the fear of COVID, you know, because as they say, it's obese people, people with, you know, diabetes, people who have, you know, Comorbidities that are dying.
So if you take away that, then you take away all the fear of dying of COVID. Yeah, and the reason people have those health situations is because they're eating processed food.
Right.
And also often taking a lot of medications and having a sedentary lifestyle.
Well, guess what?
If you start growing your own food, you solve all three of those problems because you're not going to be sedentary.
Right, right.
Your animals have to be fed.
It's innate in us.
If it's time for the chickens and they're out there like the roosters crowing and they want to be let out into the yard, you go do it.
There's no sleeping in.
There's no, you just do it.
It's like being a parent.
Yeah.
I'm not one, but I know what it's like.
I can imagine.
Take care of your kids.
Well, it's funny.
When I was interviewing Ice Age Farmer, his rooster was crowing in his background and my rooster was crowing in my background.
They were talking to each other.
And we were having like a rooster fest going on.
Yeah, but it's like when I interview somebody and I hear animal sounds in the background, I know they're actually living in that environment.
I haven't heard any pig sounds or anything on your set yet.
Yeah, our studio is in our basement, so you're not going to hear anything.
She can come up with one if you wanted.
No, that's okay.
We don't have any places.
Is Cooney Cooney one?
No, I'm not.
I can't do it.
What are they called?
Cooney Cooney?
Cooney Cooney.
K-U-N-E and then repeat.
Cooney Cooney.
They're adorable.
You have to Google them.
I'll send you pictures.
They kind of look like the pugs of pigs.
So, maybe I should get some as pets.
You would love them.
We cuddle with them.
Actually, we do.
And some people do keep them inside.
I don't recommend it.
We've sold some piglets to people.
Really?
Can you potty train them?
You can.
They're really, really fun.
We may be biased, and I actually like the way they smell.
I don't know what it is about whatever they put off.
It's a sweet odor.
I don't know.
It's very strange.
And pigs will kind of just pick a little spot in the corner.
They're kind of tidy.
And they're not clean rolling in a mud pit.
Yeah, I get that.
Yeah, totally.
But they're normally clean.
So should you get more than one so they can have a little social interaction?
They're, they are social.
So I have, we have, we're down to three.
We normally have upwards of like 15.
But we're going to start over with new stock and our freezer's too full.
So now they're pets right now.
And three large pets.
They're very, it's hot.
It was hot, 81.
And they went to their little mud pit and they're so hot, but they all snuggle.
So we usually take the hose out or a bucket of water.
They're all like, I know I'm hot, but can we just sleep together?
Yeah.
Yeah, they're so cute.
Until they scream at each other.
They do do that.
Oh, yeah.
Sometimes they scream at each other?
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, I run into a lot of wild hogs when I'm walking on my ranch in Texas.
And, you know, everybody talks about how terrifying they are and everything.
They've just been totally peaceful and even comedic.
Sometimes I'm walking and I encounter, let's say, two sows with like 40 piglets, right?
Oh, my gosh.
Just walk up on them.
Wow.
And they look at me, and then one of the adults sounds the alarm.
It's like...
Yes, that's it.
You got it.
That was good!
And then all the little babies, they go scrambling, scrambling, and some of them start squealing, you know, and they run.
And I'm like, they think I'm the monster.
And then if I keep walking and if some of the real young ones, they couldn't run fast enough, they will stop where they are and lay down in the grass and play dead.
Oh my goodness!
I have never seen them do that.
That's so interesting.
Little piglets playing dead, and I'm like...
They're like possums.
I can see you, piggy!
That's adorable.
The wild Texas hogs with the stripes down their back.
They have all kinds of different colors.
I mean, most of the adults are kind of blackish or gray.
But some of them, the young ones, have even pinkish colors, beige colors, gray, black, splotches.
I mean, it can be anything.
And they survive out there.
People need to understand, if we had more land, the reason why we love our heritage hogs is because they're designed to be on pasture.
So what we feed out our hogs is, when we run out, we feed them a fermented grain mixture of organic non-GMO stuff.
But by and large, we are given a lot of produce that they just get fed.
And then in the summer- And they'll eat hay.
I don't think pigs eat hay.
We feed them hay, but in the summer, just what we can mow on our property and our next-door property and just bag up, we'll give them a bag of that clippings, and it doesn't give them...
I think people with horses fear colic.
That is not an issue with the pigs.
No, our pigs love to eat grass.
They just love to eat the fresh grass.
Really?
I didn't know that.
It's like giving them a popsicle or something.
And they can maintain weight on just that grass.
It's a whole new meaning to pulling weeds.
Yes.
Every time we weed, my mom just had a giant tarp full of weeds.
We just haul it out to the pig pen and feed it to the chickens.
Or the pigs.
Well, the chickens would eat it too, but the pigs really love it.
I did not know that.
That's fascinating.
They're a garbage disposal.
Yeah, they are.
Sure.
But they root up all the wild onions out here and there's wild onions all buried everywhere and it's great because they root that up and you can see all the leftover little onion paper that they've left behind.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
But I've eaten those wild onions too.
I put them into fried rice and things like that.
Yeah.
It's like sometimes you just watch the pigs.
They're going to point out food sources.
Sure.
That's such an excellent point.
That's true.
Yeah.
The animals know what's up.
How do you deal with protecting your chickens?
I mean, you're in the suburbs, so you probably don't have a huge problem with coyotes and raccoons.
You're so blessed.
But I can tell you from our community of friends.
That the things that work the best are your livestock guardian dogs.
Or a dog.
Or just any kind of dog.
Any dog.
Even a rat terrier.
If your dog is going to go potty around your yard, so our whole property is fenced in.
And then our chicken coop is fenced in.
When you're at, a dog is probably going to be your best.
But a lot of people do really well with the electric netting.
That's a fencing, for your viewers that may not know.
It's a fencing, but it's electric.
It's electric, right.
A lot of hot wire people use, hot wire.
Or fabric.
But for us, because we are...
And we do have raccoons that meander into our backyard.
Foxes.
Because we have so much food around.
Yeah, but we have priveted our back fence line, so now it's like 15 feet.
Like an English garden kind of...
So we don't really have any large, we have coyotes that are literally, you know, a quarter mile down the street, but we don't have an issue with them.
I think because of we, what we do for a living is we run a pet care business.
So a lot of times we have dogs that are here.
And so our dogs have passed away, but just having that smell around my number one answer for everything is a dog.
Dogs.
Yeah, good point.
I mean, we've got a lot of raccoons that are always looking from a distance.
You know, 400 yards away, I see their eyes in the trees.
They're looking.
But I've got several dogs.
And if a raccoon comes close, my dog will tree that raccoon.
Yeah, yeah.
Or attack it, right?
And kill it.
And so, you know, I've seen both cases.
Sometimes raccoons are gone the next day because the dog fell asleep and the raccoon escaped from the tree.
But every raccoon knows there's a price to pay for coming close.
Right.
And they are, you know, don't you find it funny that cartoons, like Disney cartoons, they always portray raccoons as these nice, little, furry, friendly creatures.
They are not that.
They are little boogers.
They will hit you.
They will bite you.
They will attack you.
They will come and eat your corn, like, and leave it totally demolished.
Because they have fingers.
They have fingers.
They'll eat a human and leave it, a whole corn patch.
They do.
But here's something funny.
I had some eggs that I had harvested too late from the chicken house because, you know, I get busy.
So I put these eggs on my porch and each night there was an egg missing.
Yeah.
And I was like, what's going on?
So I kept watching it, and I put up some motion-sensing lights, and sure enough, one night, the light comes on.
I look out the window, and there's a possum with an egg in his mouth.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, a possum was eating the eggs.
A possum ate almost all my peaches on my front tree the year before last.
They'll climb it out there.
We had an issue with the possum and the chicken coop and Kansas had to take care of that.
Oh really?
Well, possums are, I mean, they don't attack chickens, at least not that I've ever seen.
They're not vicious like raccoons.
I kind of feel sorry for the possum because it's such an ugly creature.
I'm like, man, it sucks to be you.
Go ahead, have all the eggs you want.
Oh, I know, I know.
But, okay, animal stories.
Now, I've got donkeys, so they keep coyotes away.
Sure.
Yes.
They actually say that donkeys are almost better than dogs to keep some predators away.
Do you use your donkeys?
No, I don't.
I rescued two adults and then they had offspring and I never trained any of them with a halter or anything.
The only function they have, aside from a source of entertainment, is to stomp on coyotes.
And they try to stomp.
No way.
Oh, yes.
That's incredible.
That's really useful, though.
That is pretty useful.
So Kansas had built us a donkey cart.
We don't have donkeys.
A friend of ours does.
And she asked him to weld and repair hers.
So while he had it, he literally replicated it and made his own.
So we have a donkey cart sitting here.
We should haul it down to Texas.
With no donkeys.
I see.
I don't think my donkeys would go for that.
They would probably completely resist that.
They complain about a number of things.
Even when there's spring grass like there is now, they still shout about wanting some oats or things like that.
Right.
So I called them on a podcast.
I said they're basically Democrats at this point because they're always complaining and wanting free stuff.
I went to Arama Bible College and I graduated in 2000 from the evangelist group.
And that's the church we were just at.
And that was a church that the Health and Freedom Conference was held at, which blew my mind.
I'm so proud of them that they are making those steps into those very difficult topics.
That the church and the Christians, we have the Word of God.
We have answers for these things.
If anybody should be doing a nightly news broadcast...
It should be Christian ministers.
Absolutely.
And that's the way our country was founded.
The pilgrims came over because they were led by God to set up a free society where people could be free and serve God freely.
Our founding fathers, they read the works of John Locke.
You're going to get a lot of stuff at our channel.
You're going to get the, we're going to dismantle the Federal Reserve for you.
We are going to show you how these great minds like John Locke, John Quincy Adams, who was the hellhound of abolition, people don't know, most underrated president in United States history, John Quincy Adams, who was a president.
And then he went back and he served in Congress for Plymouth, Massachusetts.
He was censured.
He was censured in Congress.
Just like we are.
Just like we are.
I wasn't the first Adams to be censored.
Exactly.
My goodness.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And he went around the censorship.
He found ways to talk about, because he was censored from talking about slavery.
Which is what we're censored from talking about.
And he found ways to get around it.
And when he died, he died outside the halls of Congress, and he was given a standing ovation.
And guess who was in Congress with John Quincy Adams?
A young Abraham Lincoln.
Oh, really?
Who took up the torch and kept going.
And these are stories that you're going to get on our channel, because we love the founding fathers.
And we know that We have them all over our wall.
Without religion and morality, the Constitution doesn't stand.
That's my John Adams quote.
You're getting a lot of Leah-isms because I butcher quotes.
But to get the idea of it and to know that we should be independent people, we should be self-reliant, we should be reliant on God.
And number one, we need to be able to apply everything around us, whether it's a George Floyd trial, whether it's BLM riots, God has an answer.
Yes.
And we can get to the answer that is peace and hopeful and will lead people to a better life.
And we don't have all the answers.
I'm not saying that we're right about everything, but there is a right way.
We will lead you to the person that is right.
Yeah, there's a vein to think about these things.
And as Christians, the churches have got—and this is why this is happening, okay, with the shutdown—the churches have got to wake up, pull out of the bunker of, I'm just going to be neutral, and I'm going to be politically neutral, and you can cut—no, no, no, no, no.
There's no such thing as politically neutral when it comes to slavery, BLM, critical race theory, gender ideology— There's no neutrality there.
Okay?
And we need to bring...
And the only way we destroy this...
It's satanic.
So the only way you can destroy it is with the power of God and with the gospel.
So our channel is a little bit different.
It's a little eclectic.
We kind of bring in a little bit of everything.
We talk about all the current news stories.
We're like that golden corral.
Of YouTube.
With healthy food.
Yeah.
I was like, because I did visit Golden Crow once.
You get a variety.
It's a buffet.
It's a buffet.
So Clay Clark, I just saw that he posted that they're going to be starting a church service at his office.
Whatever.
I think once a week, and Pastor Bishop Leon Benjamin is going to come back from wherever he's at, I can't remember, to kind of pastor this church.
And we're going to talk about everything.
Politics.
That's what we need our churches to do.
And we need men like you.
We're not feminists.
We need men like you that you're already doing this.
We need more Mike Adams, whether you have a podcast or you just have a voice in your neighborhood, to start standing up and using the gospel to give the truth about current events to your neighbors because they need answers.
Yes.
Yes.
Well said.
I mean, we need more people like you.
We need more people like Pastor Leon Benjamin, who I also interviewed, and he was just such an extraordinary person.
He is.
And he's running for Congress in Georgia.
I know!
So awesome.
Yeah, for the 2022 election.
Like 2022 is going to be lit.
And I feel like 2021 is us getting ready.
We should be so excited!
You know how Jesus said, this kind, speaking about demons, only comes out but by prayer and fasting.
So 2020 was a year of prayer and fasting for the church.
We fasted sports.
We fasted entertainment.
We fasted movies.
We spent time with our families.
We sought God and we prayed.
That led us to 2021, which I think we're going to be taking down a lot of giants and God is assembling a lot of things.
And then I think that 2022 is just going to explode.
Yeah, we're winning.
If there's one message, we are winning.
We win or we win.
We tell that to our viewers all the time.
If we were losing, they would let us on YouTube.
They would let us on Facebook.
That's true.
That's why they let us go.
That's why they let us go on all these platforms for so long.
They thought that they had the winning hand.
When the election hit, Us all over.
We now know.
We know.
80 million people know what happened.
More than that.
We're going to get to the bottom of it.
And I'm so excited about people like Tracy Bean, Steve Bannon, Mike Lindell.
You, you're not giving up.
Yes.
That's right.
You're not giving up.
I'm trying to bury you and you literally crawled out of the hole.
You can't keep them down.
Yeah.
It's a whole new level.
It's a whole new level where you're at.
Because here's the deal.
We're warriors.
We're warriors.
They don't.
Here's the deal.
They don't have God.
No.
That's right.
We have the ultimate winning weapon.
They literally don't have God.
Yeah.
So they lose.
It's that simple to me.
The prayer, the excitement.
Tulsa was awesome.
So I told my mom I was going to give you a hard time about this.
You have said several times you're not sure if you're coming to Tampa.
Oh.
I'm working on it.
I'm working on it.
Somebody needs to get a private jet for Mike.
Somebody get a private jet for Mike because he's not wearing a mask.
Yes.
Okay, we're still afraid about going.
We want to go, but you have to go.
I'm talking to people to make it happen.
Well, no, I've told Clay the same thing.
I said, Clay, you know, I'm working on the transportation.
Transportation.
Yeah, well, Clay gave me some names of people to call.
And fortunately, we all, it turns out that in our circle, we know a lot of people who own jets.
Yeah.
Not my circle, but it's your circle.
Well, I mean, it's just, you know, people have been successful entrepreneurs and they've been able to buy jets.
So, I'm trained as a pilot for small aircraft, you know, Cessnas.
So, yeah, the last time I was on a friend's jet, he let me sit in the co-pilot seat and actually, you know, take the controls a little bit.
That's awesome.
You know, not on landing or anything, but...
But it's nice to be able to sit up front and actually be in the pilot seat or co-pilot seat.
But whatever, we'll figure it out.
My intention is to be there, and I'm sure we'll find a way to make that happen.
In the meantime, we've got to do this again.
This has been a lot of fun.
We probably had a little too much fun.
We didn't get into some practical skills.
We've got to cover that next time.
Okay.
More practical information for people, homesteaders out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They can contact us.
Our email is on our website.
So you guys can, anybody that has any questions, feel free to contact us.
And if we don't address them directly, we'll just do a video about it.
Okay.
That's awesome.
All right.
Well, folks, check out resistancechicks.com and also on Bright Town Resistance Chicks.
And where else do you have a channel that hasn't been banned yet?
Bitchute.
Rumble.
Rumble.
We do have a channel on YouTube and time out there.
We're not pushing that channel at all.
And we hope to be on Frank's speech.
I'm very excited.
Clout Hub, we're 1620 on Clout Hub.
We go live on DLive and Twitch.
Those are just to be able to get live streams out.
And we go live on our, we still have our Facebook.
I don't know how long that will be there, but we still go live on our Facebook channel.
So we go live around 6 or 6.30 every Friday for sure.
And Sunday we cover world news.
So we cover Brexit, everything European, because there's so many conservative, fantastic movements around the world.
So yeah, our little studio is filled with stuff from Yorkshire, Poland, and all our viewers like to just to tell us their little story.
That's awesome.
Of their neck of the woods.
So there's such a...
This movement, whatever it is we want to call it, is worldwide.
It's happening worldwide.
You know, I'm sure that you need to have on...
I just watched Anne McCloskey from Ireland.
Oh my gosh.
Spitfire, you need her on your show.
There's a whole Irish roundtable of these people talking about the vaccines and the lockdowns.
And it's amazing.
And it makes for an interesting interview the whole time with the actor.
That's cool, yeah.
We'd love to interview her.
Also, by the way, we're going to have our Bright Tea on live stream feature released to content creators like yourself.
Yes!
Please, Jesus!
Very soon.
I'm so excited about that.
People love the live stream.
The live chat.
I don't know what it is about the live chat.
I don't know if your feature is going to have a live chat.
If it doesn't...
It will eventually.
We're working on that, yes.
Okay.
They love it.
People just love the interactiveness and the community of it.
It makes them feel like they're a part of something.
Yeah.
Well, right, I mean, because this should be a two-way street, you know?
I would love to be doing this live, and probably, you know, with Brighteon TV, when that launches, we will.
We'll have you on live, and we'll have interaction with the audience as well.
It just takes time to build a feature, time and money.
Thank you for doing it, though.
Thank you.
We will be as patient as it needs to be.
The same thing with Frank's speech.
The same thing with Frank's speech.
I know Mike Lindell's under attack, and he's trying to get his thing up and going.
We're not going anywhere.
We will be here when it's ready.
Exactly.
That's what I told the guys that are running Frank's speech, too.
I was like, we know.
I mean, I know exactly the DDoS attacks that you're under and everything.
Crazy.
Just keep working the problem.
You know, if I can help, let me know.
But we're all going to have patience with the process.
Yes.
And, you know, Mike Lindell is such an American hero.
He has put his company and his money behind this free speech effort.
So it only takes, I mean, it only takes a few patriots to stand up and say, guess what?
We're going to stand for freedom here.
It's amazing.
I guess he's going to be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.
Yeah, I heard that.
That should be interesting.
Jimmy Kimmel owes him a couple of apologies right out of the gate, I think.
I think so.
A couple, yeah.
We'll see how it goes.
We'll just pray for him.
The Bible says, what is it for God to save but by many or by few?
And you just said it only takes a few.
And you're right.
God loves to do that stuff.
That's right.
Absolutely.
Well, okay, so stay with me after this for just one minute.
I just want to wrap this up.
Thank you for watching, everybody.
Hope you've enjoyed this interesting conversation, the most unusual first five minutes of any interview we've ever had.
We'll see what they have in store for us next time.
But we'll do this again and spread the word.
