Time Text
Once the word gets around, and the word is getting around pretty thoroughly, that people are dying and being disabled from these clot shots, people are going to stop volunteering to roll up their sleeves.
So they have a window, maybe 30, 60, I would say no more than 90 days before people figure out nationwide these things are dangerous, these things kill people, and they're not going to get any more clot shots, no more boosters.
So we're desperate to get as many of these shots and as many arms as possible, Mike, as quickly as possible.
Welcome to the Health Ranger Report on Brighton.tv.
Today we've got a special guest for you.
It is John Moore, the Liberty Man.
And we've got a lot to talk about today.
We've interviewed John several times.
The guests love what he has to share with us.
He has his own radio show and podcast and does a lot of interviews and things like that.
We'll talk about that.
He's got a very interesting background as a homicide detective, a firearms instructor, a lot of contacts in the military and so on.
We're going to talk today about the engineered Russian ammo shortage, causing a widespread shortage of ammo in the United States.
Biden's attempts to try to trick America into thinking that he's got COVID under control.
If you just obey, then everything will be fine, according to Biden.
And we're going to cover some other breaking topics, too.
I'm going to ask him about the situation in Afghanistan and what else is happening on the economic front.
So all that and more straight ahead with John Moore here on the Health Ranger Report.
Stay with us.
We'll be right back.
All right.
Welcome back.
Mike Adams here.
Brighteon.tv.
We've got with us today I'm welcoming John Moore, the Liberty Man.
He's at the Liberty Man dot com, I believe.
Welcome to the show, John.
Did I get the URL correct?
At the Liberty Man dot com.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Good to be here.
Okay, great.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
Welcome back.
It's been a few weeks.
What are the big topics on your mind of what we need to cover right now for America?
Well, one on my mind and many Americans is the Biden administration is banning the import of Russian ammunition.
It takes place in just a couple of weeks, maybe a week or so, in the month of September, banning the import of Russian small-armed ammunition.
It's not the best ammunition, but it's ammunition, primarily steel-cased ammunition.
That men and women like to use for training because it's some of the least expensive ammunition available.
Cutting that off will put a lot of pressure on the rest of the ammunition market and hurt the men and women who want to train to be competent with firearms.
It's not a good thing, Mike.
The pretext you're using is very thin, connecting the sale of Russian ammunition to attempting to hurt Russia economically.
Sales of small arms ammunition in Russia is probably less than one-tenth of one percent of their GDP. It's not going to hurt them economically.
All it's going to hurt is Americans who want to get fairly good quality, low-cost ammunition.
But if they're going to try to ban the ammunition supply in this way, and by the way, ammunition is already in short supply, and it's already still about triple the cost of where it should be for most common rounds, including 9mm, what else do you think the Biden regime would do?
Because this is obviously just the beginning of their plans to suppress firearms ownership and ammunition supply in the United States.
Well, sir, there's been some published stories that the President wants to sign the United Nations Small Arms Treaty, which can't become law unless the United States Senate ratifies the treaty.
Of course, any treaty that would attempt to nullify the Second Amendment, most Americans, including myself, are going to say, go take a hike.
You can sign any damn treaty you want to sign.
We're not giving up our constitutional rights, treaty or no treaty.
If he wants to start a war and attempts to have United Nations edicts enforced on the streets of America, if he wants to start a war, that's a good way to do it.
Maybe that is his intent.
I don't know.
Well, it might be, but an important point on this, you're right, the Senate must ratify a treaty for it to become legally binding, and there's no chance that the Senate, under its current composition, would ratify the UN Small Arms Treaty.
However, don't forget that previous Trader-in-Chief Barack Obama signed the Paris Accords, and they got around the Senate requirement by saying it's not a treaty, it's an accord.
So they can just play word games and then claim that it's legally binding.
What do you think about that?
Well, sir, we should address that a little bit, because many people who believe that human beings cause climate to change, they look at the Paris Accords as something very important.
I used to hand out copies of it.
It's about 19, 20 pages.
What's not known publicly very well, at least, about the Paris Climate Accords is that it gives 1.5 or so billion people in China, about the equivalent number in India, a free pass to make all the carbon dioxide, CO2 gas that they want to.
So, you can't have it both ways, Mike.
If you believe human-caused climate change is a clear and present danger to all of humanity that, unless it's curtailed, is going to cause life as we know it to end.
If you believe that's true, And we have to have these strict guidelines imposed on the West, including the United States, then how in the world can you give a free pass to 3 billion people in China and India to make all the CO2 greenhouse gases they want?
The two thoughts can't occupy the same space, Mike.
They can't.
But that's what the Paris Accords do.
That President Trump very rightfully removed us from.
And within a few days of Biden taking office, he put us back in the Paris Peace Accords.
And we don't need to address it anymore, I don't believe.
It's a flim-flam, is all it is.
It really is.
Yeah, exactly.
But then circling back, if they sign the UN Small Arms Treaty and just gaslight the country, because this is what's happening now, there's no reason or logic or due process of anything happening.
Even this FDA approval, so-called approval of the vaccine, was not an approval of any vaccine available in America.
They approved Comirnaty, which is not in production in the U.S., But the media acts like, oh, it's all approved now.
So they can just gaslight everybody.
And since very few people do their homework and there's so much censorship, the average American remains oblivious to the real world.
They're living in a false reality.
Yes, sir, they are.
That's unfortunate.
Your job as a broadcast journalist, my job as a broadcast journalist, is to inform and alert and educate as many people as we can.
And we're having a great effect, Mike.
And a good example of that is the massive media attacks on ivermectin right now.
Even my little hometown newspaper in little 1,600 population, Steelville, Missouri, It's publishing articles that make ivermectin look like some kind of poison, which it's not.
It's been used safely for decades.
It's one of the safest items that a person could ever hope to ingest.
Very safe and very effective.
But these stories popped up hundreds of places in newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, all at the same time, Mike, to demonize a very safe and very effective drug called ivermectin.
That's a good example of the outreach of the mass media, by the way.
Yeah, and also the coordination of how it's all scripted.
There's no way that they could have all spontaneously come to that conclusion on their own.
Especially ivermectin is a Nobel Prize winning drug.
It was approved by the FDA in 1996.
There have been billions of prescriptions.
It's one of the safest drugs in the world.
And by the way, we did an article just recently about the actual scientific mechanism of how ivermectin blocks the viral damage in the body.
So it's actually well known.
But if they can attack that while they're rolling out their own versions, you know, Babylon Bee had a joke article that said Pfizer is about to roll out fivermectin as they're banning ivermectin.
That's a joke.
Yeah, it's a Babylon Bee joke.
But it's kind of something they might try, right?
They're capable of anything, Mike.
They're absolutely capable of anything.
Now, we're taping this on Wednesday, the 8th day of September.
On Thursday, the 9th day of September, tomorrow, which most people will watch this after President Biden gives a speech the evening of Thursday, the 9th of September.
He's supposed to give a nationwide speech addressing the COVID-19 and how we're going to finally defeat COVID-19.
I don't know what the man's going to say.
On a worst-case scenario, we would go the direction of Australia.
Australia started out as a penal colony in the 19th century, and now, once again, they've become a penal colony all over again.
All commercial flights in and out of Australia are canceled.
People are trapped.
We have police officers stopping folks driving in a car by themselves with no mask because they're not wearing a mask.
In their own car.
Absolutely insane.
Yeah, it is insane, but what else is Biden going to do?
I mean...
Well, we can speculate.
Go ahead.
I don't know what the man's going to do, Mike, but I know it's not going to be good.
They're desperate.
They being the powers that be.
They're desperate to get as many people to roll up their sleeves and accept these COVID-19 clot shots as quickly as possible for the following reason.
Once the word gets around, and the word is getting around pretty thoroughly that people are dying and being disabled from these clot shots, people are going to stop volunteering to roll up their sleeves.
So they have a window at maybe 30, 60, I would say no more than 90 days, Mark.
Before people figure out nationwide, these things are dangerous, these things kill people, and they're not going to get any more clutch shots, no more boosters.
So we're desperate to get as many of these shots and as many arms as possible, Mike, as quickly as possible.
And I think what he'll be doing Thursday the 9th of September will be to advance that cause, to get as many shots and as many arms as possible, Mike.
Do you think, because some of the buzz about this, which is speculation, is that he may announce something like a nationwide vaccine passport, a nationwide lockdown attempt, a highway checkpoint to enforce the vaccine passport, all of these things that are rather authoritarian and really modeled after Australia.
And I admit, that's all speculation at this point, but do you think that he's crazy enough to try those things, potentially?
Well, first of all, as you and I both know, and most of our listeners, Joe Biden is an empty suit, just doing what he's told to do.
Will he be told to say those things?
It's possible.
It's very possible, Mike.
And once again, is the goal really to get the clutch shots in people, or is the goal to start a civil war?
Yeah.
You start blocking, setting up checkpoints in these highways, and I've seen evidence that they're ready to do that, by the way, personally.
You're looking for trouble.
You're looking for serious, violent pushback.
And I think that may be what they're looking for, is violent pushback against these measures.
We are not Australian.
We're very similar in Australia in terms of language and culture and beliefs, but we're not Australia.
This is the United States.
We have guns.
We have lots and lots of guns, and we're not going to give up the United Nations.
We're not going to tolerate our highways being blocked because of a make-believe pandemic, which it is.
And if they want violent pushback, just start setting up these checkpoints.
Institute a national vaccine passport system, which they already denied they were going to do, by the way.
But like you said, that may be exactly what they want.
And let me share some intel with you.
I have personal knowledge that a particular group, which I can't name yet, but a group that is known as a pro-Second Amendment anti-vaccine group that's led by a female Has been infiltrated at the highest levels by Soros operatives.
And it looks like this group may be used to lead some kind of violent attack, you know, basically a false flag engineered event.
And wouldn't it be the perfect cocktail of events for Biden to announce something authoritarian?
And then they roll out this controlled group.
know, shoot up a clinic or something like that while CNN has the cameras ready.
It seems like they're really moving towards a false flag event.
Well, CNN will have the camera set up before the event.
You and I just went through 15 minutes dealing with cameras.
The high-level, I don't recall the gentleman's name, a member of the Trump administration that was arrested in the dark of night.
The cameras were there waiting when the FBI... Roger Stone, yeah.
Yeah, Roger Stone.
That's a good example of how insane the federal government is.
They do something that is crazy violent, showing up at a man who's charged with a white collar crime, who has no history of violence.
I like to point out the way they arrested, back in the 60s and 70s, violent crime bosses.
They would go to the restaurant where the violent crime boss was having dinner with a couple of his violent crime buddies.
They would say, sir, you're under arrest.
You need to come with us.
They didn't show up at his house in the middle of the night to scare his wife with all kinds of guys dressed up in ninja suits with weapons drawn.
No, they show up wearing a coat and tie at the restaurant, and I say, Mr.
Gotti?
I'm talking about John Gotti.
This actually happened.
Mr.
Gotti, you need to come with us.
You're under arrest.
Very polite.
No weapons drawn.
And no harm done in the middle of the night, which is what they did with Roger Stone.
The same federal government arresting a violent man who was responsible for many murders, John Gotti, quietly arrested in a restaurant in New York City, not in the middle of the night, scaring the whole neighborhood, scaring his wife, needlessly.
No.
They just go to a restaurant and say, Mr.
Gotti, can you come with us, please?
But now the FBI is running the ops, like in Michigan, with Governor Whitmer.
It was 12 or 13 FBI operatives.
The whole make-believe kidnapping of Governor Whitmer was an FBI operation.
This goes back decades.
There was a standoff with the American Indians at Wounded Knee back in the winter of 1972-73.
The Indian in charge of security inside Wounded Knee was an FBI informant.
This is nothing new, Mike.
It's been going on for decades, many decades.
Nothing new at all.
But you have a lot of interesting contacts, especially because you're a firearms instructor and, again, a very interesting history of dealing with a lot of people, military people, and so on.
Are you getting any signals right now of increased concern among the military or law enforcement about what may be coming?
Well, these men and women are both concerned, Mike.
They're keeping quiet about it.
They're not saying anything publicly or on social media that would be revealed to prying eyes, shall we say.
When it comes...
I live in Crawford County, Missouri, which is a rather small, not very densely populated county.
I know the chiefs of police because I go to the chiefs meetings.
I know the sheriff.
I have dinner with the sheriff once a month.
I know many of the deputies, many of the cops.
Out here in the country, everybody knows each other.
And when it comes down to it, these men and women in law enforcement, and I want to include all the first responders, the firemen and paramedics, they will protect their community.
This is where they grew up.
This is where they went to school.
And everybody they know grew up here, for the most part, and went to school here.
And they're not going to do anything that would violate the Constitution, that would cause harm to their neighbors, or cause harm to the oath that they took to be a deputy sheriff, a police officer, a fireman, a paramedic.
They're not going to do that, Mike.
It simply won't be tolerated.
I know many sheriffs.
I've worked with many sheriffs since back in 1973 when I got involved as a criminal defense investigator.
I know sheriffs all over the state of Missouri and many in Illinois.
And these are good men.
I haven't met any female sheriffs, but these are good men who will protect their community.
They will do what's necessary to protect the community.
Good example, the summer of 2020, a year ago, we had Antifa groups attempting to go to several communities near me.
The county just south of me, the sheriff had 12 men on his department.
He found out Antifa was coming, and he activated the local militia.
When Antifa showed up, he had 300 armed men under his command of his deputy sheriffs, Antifa took one look around, and they didn't even get off the bus, Mike.
They did not even get off the bus.
It happened in several communities around here.
The same exact thing back in June, July, and August of last year of 2020.
Okay, but let me lay this on you, though.
With Biden about to make a speech, he may be possibly announcing rather draconian states of emergency, which gives the sitting president extraordinary powers, depending on what is invoked, even, you know, emergency health officials.
Authority Insurrection Act, all kinds of things can be invoked.
Now, it seems like they've been leading up to announcing that the Delta variant, which by the way, there's no such thing as a test for a Delta variant.
So it's another fiction, but the so-called Delta variant they can use to declare a national emergency.
And the CDC claims the authority to literally medically kidnap people and move them involuntarily into internment camps.
That's all on the books.
It's been on the books for a long time, even going back to Bush.
So, you know, I guess my question is, there's no limit to what they could try if the people are willing to put up with it.
Well, once you leave these blue cities, they're going to be in big trouble attempting to do that.
They're going to be in really big trouble.
I would not want to be a person working for any agency attempting to take into custody Americans over a make-believe pandemic.
That would not be something I would want to do.
I've done some pretty hard, tough, dangerous things in my life.
But that's something I would not do, and they couldn't pay me enough to do that, to attempt to take into custody innocent Americans for a make-believe pandemic.
If you want to start a civil war, that's a great way to do it.
That may be their goal.
They know the pandemic isn't real.
They know that.
Of course they do.
So what is the real goal?
What is the real motivation, Mike?
If the motivation is to start civil war in this country, which is what they really want, then go for it.
Start setting up checkpoints and taking people into custody for the make-believe pandemic.
If someone took my wife into custody under conditions, God help them.
That's all I can say.
Yeah, exactly.
You do not want to be on the receiving end of my wrath.
You really don't.
Yeah, no kidding.
And notice that Australia, they were only able to enforce all of this because they did take away the guns.
Well, really, the citizens, largely, they surrendered their guns under the promise of security.
And that happened many years ago.
New Zealand, more recently, following the Christchurch You know, engineered operation there.
The New Zealanders gave up their guns, but the American people have never given up their guns, and maybe this is the saving grace.
This is what saves us from all this tyranny.
Well, Mike, the Second Amendment and the owning firearms is the line in the sand.
It can't be crossed.
It cannot and will not be crossed.
Now, sure, in the blue cities, there's lots of people who would voluntarily give up what few firearms they may own, but that's not the heartland of America.
The red states, the red counties, if you go by counties, there's more than 3,300 counties in the United States.
The majority of those 3,300 plus counties are red counties.
That's just a fact of life, Mike.
In most of those 3,300 plus counties, people are armed to a greater or lesser extent.
You know, most of my hillbilly neighbors don't have as much ammunition as I would like to see them have on one hand, on the other.
One of my hillbilly neighbors a year ago, more than a year ago, was making, just after Biden got elected, he was taking orders from my neighbors, traveling up to Alton, Illinois, to Winchester Western, filling up his pickup truck with cases and cases of ammunition and delivering them to the people who had placed their orders.
Now, that's not a stand-alone example.
That's happened hundreds of times all over this country, of joint purchases being made of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition.
That's been going on ever since Biden took office.
You know, that's a really good point.
These manufacturers have never stopped making ammo.
They've been running their factories, in fact, in many cases, adding production shifts.
So that ammo is going somewhere, and it's going, just like you said, it's going to people, it's going to communities.
You know, the shortage that you might see in the marketplace or at a sporting goods store, that's because in between, somebody else has been buying that ammo directly from the factory.
I mean, ammo is flowing to people in record numbers.
We've got about a minute left in this segment.
Final thoughts for the show today.
Well, ultimately, it's a spiritual war, Mike, and I want to encourage everybody to pray because prayer is powerful and prayer works.
And this is a spiritual war, ultimately.
Sure, you need the guns, the ammunition, the food, the medicine, and so forth.
But prayer is powerful and prayer works, and I encourage everybody to pray.
Okay, yeah, well said.
I'm sure our audience agrees with that.
Now, folks, this interview continues in an extended version that's posted at the Health Ranger Report channel on brighteon.com.
But for today here on brighteon.tv, we're just about out of time.
John, give us your radio show website, please.
It is thelibertyman.com.
Everything is linked there.
I have a Brighton link and a Rumble link, both, to watch my shows, archives.
The live shows are 7 to 10 a.m.
Central Time, Monday through Friday, linked to my website, thelibertyman.com.
Okay, you got it there, folks.
thelibertyman.com.
Thank you for watching today.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighton, and thanks for watching.
Take care.
Okay, John.
So now this is the extended interview.
We've got a few more minutes.
What else is on your mind?
I mean, let me ask you this about preparedness.
A lot of people are suddenly new to being a prepper, right?
They've come to realize this, and now they're panicked about, where do I begin?
What do I do?
I'm late in the game.
Well, okay.
Okay.
It's obviously easy to purchase and prepare food, long-term storage food, any food, canned food.
That's not an issue.
Whatever medical supplies you need.
I emphasize two skills with my consultation clients.
First aid, CPR training, and ham radio skills.
Whether your group is six or 600, those are the two skills in biggest demand and insurer's supply.
Now when it comes to firearms, owning firearms does not translate into proficiency with firearms.
Mike, I can go in the art supply store and $500 later, I can have everything I need to duplicate what Picasso and Rembrandt did, but I guarantee you I'm not going to do it.
Just because I own this stuff doesn't mean I'm proficient.
Just because you own firearms does not mean you're proficient.
You need professional training.
And I've had so many female clients that had a husband, brother, son, father, grandfather, who gave them improper instruction, scared the hell out of these women, putting a very powerful handgun in the hands of an untrained, petite female that hurt them, that scared them.
Big, big mistake.
I've seen that dozens and dozens of times.
Seek out a professional firearms instructor.
And that's pretty easy to find in most jurisdictions that people can do that.
Ham radio is very important.
I was in the Tet Offensive in 1968 in Vietnam.
We were Without good information most of the time, we were desperate for reliable information.
We had Radio Vietnam, which was broadcasting reports about the U.S. Embassy in Saigon being invaded, things like that, which were pretty scary.
And we would listen to anything we could listen to.
And during a crisis, Mike, I assure you that people will be desperate for information.
And here's what happens if you don't have reliable information.
Your mind will go to a worst-case scenario instantly.
That's the way human brains work.
If there's a crisis going on and you don't know what's really going on, your brain will go to a worst-case scenario.
And parents of teenagers know this.
When the child doesn't show up at the appointed time from their evening activity, the parents go to a worst-case scenario instantly.
Has my child been in a car wreck?
And so forth.
So don't put yourself in that situation.
You need to be able to monitor the sheriff's department, the police department, the fire department, the paramedics, the highway patrol.
You need to be able to monitor all those frequencies so you know what's going on in your city, in your county, and in your state.
So there are websites where people can look up their county and they can actually get the frequencies for those services, correct?
It's all public record.
And mostly they're non-encrypted channels, correct?
The bigger cities, especially police departments, are going to encryption.
Fire departments are very reluctant to go to encryption because it degrades the reliability of the radios.
Paramedics, the same thing.
They're reluctant to go to encryption.
The highway departments and utility companies, they use radios.
If there is a severe crisis, they're going to be using their radios also, and they definitely will not be encrypted.
Ham radio, of course, is not encrypted.
In fact, it's still legal to encrypt ham radio.
And ham radio guys and gals, they will be reporting first-hand reports of what's going on in their neighborhood and having those discussions.
So it's all very valuable to be able to listen, Mike.
So how does someone go about finding out what frequencies might be worth listening to at a local level?
I mean, how do you do this?
Well, that's all.
There's books available from the ARRL.org website, and I recommend If you want to get involved in ham radio, learn about ham radio, learn all these frequencies.
All the reference material is available at ARRL, that's alpharomeoromeolima.org website.
That's the American Radio Relay League.
It's one-stop shopping to find your local ham radio club to get educational material, including all of every radio frequency known to mankind.
It's all available from books and links at that website, Mike.
I'd also like to mention to those of you who might feel intimidated, you don't need a ham radio license to listen to radio.
You can listen and gather intel all day without ever broadcasting.
In fact, you don't want to broadcast unless you really know what you're doing because you can be located in other things.
Correct?
Ram radio people have contests to physically find people that are broadcasting.
It's simple to do.
The equipment is not expensive, and it's routinely done as a contest.
So if somebody's hurt in the woods, they can find that person.
That's why they do these contests.
So, no, you're not going to learn much by talking.
You're going to learn by listening.
So being able to monitor all these frequencies is not optional.
I've been a ham radio operator since 1994, and I'm glad I did that.
You no longer need to know Mars code, by the way.
That's no longer necessary.
Okay.
It takes a lot of the scariness away from people.
What about, can you recommend an entry-level radio that people can purchase right now?
What Americans want to do is get a handheld radio, what we call handy-talkies, amateur, many people call walkie-talkies.
That's not the radio you want to buy.
You want to buy a mobile unit that can be used in your car or your truck or at home with a 12-volt inverter.
They have plenty of power.
Your handheld radios are limited by law to 5 watts.
Some put out 7 for the following reason.
That antenna for the handheld radio is right next to your brain.
Energy coming out of there is very close to the microwave energy.
And if you're putting out more than 5 or 7 watts, you would literally, not figuratively, literally be cooking your brain.
So the mobile units put out 50, 60, 80, 100 watts of power.
You can talk anywhere.
You can listen anywhere with a good antenna, properly set up.
You can talk all over the planet with a nice mobile unit.
So I would recommend that.
And that's information you should be getting from your local ham radio club.
Your local ham radio club is one-stop shopping for educational networking.
And there's a bonus, Mike.
The men and women inside these ham radio clubs, they buy and sell, trade back and forth, high-quality ham radio equipment at very good prices.
Okay, but what...
Now, see, I'm curious about this, too, because I've been acquiring some radios, but there was a steep learning curve to figure out what people need.
What brands of mobile units do you recommend?
Because there are a lot of brands.
Well, the top of the line is ICOM. That's I-C-O-M. India, Charlie, Oscar, Mike.
ICOM is the top of the line.
There's a Linco.
Motorola does not make much ham radio.
I don't think they make any ham radios at all, but they make a lot of commercial radios.
In fact, on the used market, since 9-11-01, they changed these radio protocols so much that There's many thousands of high-quality used Motorola's out there on eBay for sale that clever men and some women know how to convert to be used for ham radios.
These are radios that cost $4,000 to $5,000 when they were new, Mike.
Some of the highest quality, toughest radios ever built.
Motorola radios made for police and fire departments.
Available on eBay that if you have a technician that knows what he's doing, they can be repurposed for ham radio.
Okay.
And the next question, if you're buying an ICOM mobile radio, what frequency bands are you looking for?
That's confusing at first as well.
The majority of ham radio traffic is on what they call the two-meter band.
Then there's a six-meter band and the 10 meters.
And this won't make any sense to you unless you study for a ham radio license.
I might as well be speaking Greek or Arabic or something.
But...
Once you get involved in ham radio, you're attending ham radio club meetings, and you do a little bit of studying, it becomes crystal clear what these frequencies are, how they work, what people use, what they don't use, and so forth.
Okay.
I bought a big radio frequency chart, a big poster that goes on the wall.
I couldn't believe how many little tiny pieces of the spectrum have been allocated to different things.
It's a checkerboard.
Yes, it is.
I've got that same chart, and it's amazing.
It's truly amazing.
There's a lot of monetary value to these frequencies, and we can get into things that would scare people about how complex it is.
Once you get into it a little bit, it's not really complex.
It takes a little bit of study, not a lot.
And I should let people know this.
We routinely have eight-year-old boys and girls getting their ham radio licenses.
So, if an 8-year-old boy and girl can do it, and these aren't genius kids, these are just normal kids with normal IQs, if an 8-year-old boy and girl can do it, anybody can do it.
Yeah.
So don't be frightened by it, Mike, and everybody listening.
Ham radio is fun.
It's a family hobby for many people.
Homeschoolers have a lot of fun with ham radio.
And going back to children, most children play as children pretending to do what adults do.
With ham radio, the children are actually doing what adults do at the same level and the same level of competency as adults.
So it's a family hobby.
It's not terribly expensive.
And in every major crisis we have, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, when everything else stops working, cell phones, normal phones, the police radios, the ham radio people step up to the plate, and they make things happen.
They save lives by providing emergency communications when nothing else works.
And ham radio people have been doing that for decades, Mike.
Absolutely.
Yeah, thanks for that.
I want to ask you about firearms.
But first, is it true that HAM stands for have another meal?
Well, for a lot of guys, it probably does.
I've heard that.
Yeah, I've heard that.
No, just joking.
It's a really derogatory term back when it started, 80, 90 years ago.
Really?
To be a hammer?
Yeah, we don't need to go into that.
Oh, okay.
All right.
No, I have great respect for hammers, if that's the correct term.
Now, I'm just nudging them because I know a lot of them and we joke with each other.
But about firearms, then, the most common question that I get from women especially is, There are a lot of, you know, senior women now purchasing firearms and they really have trouble racking the slide because they don't have the forearm strength or that grip strength.
And they're not doing like the thumb and finger, you know, they're doing the full C-clamp racking of that slide, still having trouble with it.
And I know there are some easy slides now and things like that.
What do you recommend in that area for especially older women?
Well, I don't recommend semi-automatics at all for most women most of the time.
Okay.
There's more to semi-automatics.
I used to, when I would do my classes, I would hold a Browning High Power.
It's a 9mm semi-automatic, a Browning P35. I would hold it behind my back and completely disassemble it, putting the pieces on the table in front of me one at a time.
And I would say to my students, I would say, If you want to own and use a semi-automatic pistol to defend your life with, you need to know that firearm so well and so completely that you can do what I just did.
Disassemble it behind your back, obviously not looking at it.
Most people aren't going to take the time to do that.
The level of complexity with semi-automatics is more than most women are prepared to deal with or take the time to learn to manipulate all those controls.
Keeping in mind that a very likely scenario is to have a kitchen door being broken in at 2 o'clock in the morning.
You've got that pistol on the bed stand next to you.
If it's semi-automatic, here's your questions.
Is the magazine in the pistol or is it not in the pistol?
Is there a round in the chamber or not around the chamber?
Is the safety on or is the safety off?
Oh, I hate those thumb safeties on the semi-autos.
At 2 o'clock in the morning when you're half asleep and you need to use the restroom.
With a revolver, all you need to do is pick it up.
None of those other questions are even possible.
There's no magazine that can be separate.
There's always around the chamber.
There's no safeties.
Almost no revolvers have safeties.
There's a few that do, but almost no revolvers have safety.
You pick it up, you point it, you squeeze the trigger.
So let me redirect to you on that and just ask your response on this.
A lot of the revolvers have very heavy trigger pull, like 12 pounds or what have you, and some women have trouble with that.
A lot of the J-frame revolvers, you don't have as much support because your pinky often can't grip it.
And a lot of the snub nose, you know, they have really, really short barrels that make accuracy more difficult.
What would you say to those points?
Okay.
Well, first of all, any handgun you're buying, you have to be able to manipulate the controls, whether it's squeezing the trigger, cocking it first, whatever it might be.
And the trigger pull is going to vary from pistol to pistol, make to make.
If somebody wants to hurt you, they're not going to be across the street.
They're going to be in your face.
They're going to be probably 8 or 10 feet away.
I think the average distance, according to FBI statistics, is 20 feet, 7 yards, for an encounter with a criminal.
So, 7 yards being the average, some are going to be closer, some are going to be farther away.
I recommend that a woman or a man, before they make a $300 to $500 mistake, they go to a really large gun shop that has a big selection of handguns to try the different ones, see if they can manipulate the controls, if they got the finger strength to squeeze that trigger, if they can reach up and cock that hammer on a revolver or some similar max, as far as that goes.
That's far better than making a $300 to $500 mistake.
Go to a place that not only has the firearms, but has a range attached where you can rent firearms and actually test fire it before you make that decision.
That would be another wise thing to do also.
One of the things we recommend at Freedom Center USA, where I teach concealed carry, is we recommend a woman get a.357 Magnum revolver and load it with.38 caliber cartridges.
The heavier pistol absorbs most of that recoil.
And if the woman still has issue, shoot the wad cutters, which is even less powerful, but still powerful enough to defend your life with the wad cutters meant for practice and target shooting.
If you get a heavy pistol and a relatively light load, that takes most of the issue away of the recoil.
Good point.
So you're talking 38 special rounds, which share the same diameter as 357.
Correct.
If they're going to be carrying concealed, I've dealt with some pretty frail women and some frail men with arthritis issues.
You may need to go to a.32 caliber revolver, which is another option.
It wouldn't be my choice, but any pistol is better than no pistol at all.
I did some testing with.22 long rifle a couple of years, Mike.
I set up three three-quarter inch pieces of plywood.
At.22 caliber, it goes through that first piece of three-quarter inch plywood like a knife through warm butter.
Now, I guarantee you, a piece of three-quarter inch plywood is thicker than a man's skull, Mike.
A.22 is nothing to be made fun of.
It's a very powerful little cartridge.
And.22 Magnum is an excellent cartridge with excellent ballistics that's largely overlooked by almost everybody.
Yeah, good point.
No one wants to stand around and get pelted with.22 Magnum rounds.
You know, they're going to rethink.
The poachers, the criminals who poach the deer, they use.22 long rifle.
That's what they use.
Really?
Oh yes, absolutely.
Another trick these hillbillies use out here, during bow season, they'll take a.410 shotgun and put an arrow in the.410 shotgun and shoot the deer with an arrow.
Wow, okay.
That's an interesting approach.
It was up in here, didn't it, Mike?
Yeah, gosh.
And here I thought I was going full hillbilly by buying a crossbow.
Little did I know there's a better way to do that.
Well, if the Russians or the Chinese do show up, I'm going to get a really dark tan and dress up like an American Indian.
And I'm going to have plenty of arrows.
Most Chinese troops are young boys from the hills of China, peasant boys who probably think they're still wild Indians in America.
And when one of their buddies gets shot with an arrow, they're going to be ready to go home.
Good point.
Yeah.
Or shot with anything, but right.
Arrows, crossbows, firearms.
Well, we've covered a lot today, plus ham radios and other forms of preparedness.
Is there anything else you want to add before we wrap it up?
Well, sir, we need to keep emphasizing the spiritual aspect of this.
It is so foundational, so important.
It's been said there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole.
There's a lot of truth to that, Mike.
And with what's coming at us, we need a strong spiritual foundation.
It's not optional, Mike.
Amen to that.
We're with you on that and our audiences as well.
