Josh Yoder from US Freedom Flyers warns of PILOT DEATHS and INJURIES...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighton.com.
You're going to love this one.
We've got a first-time guest, Josh Yoder.
He's the founder and CEO of U.S. Freedom Flyers.
And if you put a .org on that, that's the website, usfreedomflyers.org.
He's a commercial airline pilot, and he and his other members of his organization, they are taking a stand to say no against the mandates that we believe are harming, and in some cases even killing, otherwise perfectly healthy pilots.
So welcome, Mr. Yoder.
Yoder, to the interview.
It's an honor to have you on today.
Yeah, thanks for having me on, Mike.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Well, thank you for joining me.
And usfreedomflyers.org, I already mentioned you're the CEO and co-founder.
You want to give us a little bit of just intro information for our audience since this is the first time you've been on with us?
Yeah, certainly.
So U.S. Freedom Flyers was started in August of 2021.
That was right as the federal mandates were looming.
And we started actually ahead of the federal mandates to have an organization of airline employees who were willing to push back against those.
We thought we had, you know, several months in order to prepare.
It turns out we only had about 30 days.
You know, those mandates struck in September of 2021.
And we had a very large resistance that grew quickly.
First, it started with, you know, just a couple of conversations among several of my friends.
It grew to hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands just in a matter of a few weeks.
And we did launch a very effective offensive against the mandates that the airlines had rolled out.
We brought litigation in November of 2021, challenging the federal contractor clause of those vaccine mandates.
That's precisely what the airlines were hiding behind.
And we've had a lot of successes.
We were able to get those mandates pushed back.
The airlines started to accept religious and medical exemptions, but not before a lot of the harm was done.
There was so much coercion and threats of losing employment that many people did go out and get vaccinated, unfortunately.
And now we're starting to see the fallout of that decision, and many people today are regretting it.
When you say the fallout of that decision, are you referring to vaccine injuries among pilots, or are you saying political pushback, or what are you referring to there?
Yeah, specifically referring to the vaccine injuries.
We've seen an incredible uptick, you know, in health conditions.
Just to give you an example, American Airlines alone, the union put out last year That between January and July of 2022, there was a 300% increase in long-term disability claims among American Airlines pilots.
And the question is why?
Nothing changed other than the vaccine mandates.
And one of the things that's the most concerning here is that the Federal Aviation Administration, the FAA, who is tasked to be the federal oversight for aviation safety and efficiency, They just went along with what the CDC and the FDA told them, and they came out and they encouraged all pilots to take the vaccines.
They said they're safe and effective going based off of that information.
And typically, the FAA is very selective about what drugs it allows its pilots to take.
For instance, I can't take Zyrtec or NyQuil and go fly tomorrow because of the drowsiness factor.
And the FAA typically does their own independent research and investigation into new products that come to market.
And in this case, they didn't do it.
And we know the political pressure that was applied to the companies was also applied to the FAA. And unfortunately, they shirk their duties there.
And what they have done is actually created a decreased safety in the aviation environment.
And that's what U.S. Korea is looking to hold an account for.
That's really critical what you just said because, as I know, I did pilot training, solo flights and the whole deal.
I remember in order to do solo flights, of course, I had to have an FAA-approved physician with a physical.
I know you have to have physicals on a regular basis in addition to the skill set, the checkouts on the different aircraft and what have you.
I always saw the FAA as being quite meticulous about making sure that pilots were healthy to be to be on the flight deck and, you know, flying this this equipment with many lives on the line until COVID came along.
And then the FDA, FAA, excuse me, just looked the other way.
So, well, yeah, we want pilots to be healthy, except unless it's a vaccine injury and then we don't care.
You know, strokes, heart attacks.
deaths during a flight.
And these are things that we believe are attributed to vaccines.
Is my description of that, is that resonating with you or other members of your group?
It absolutely is.
The FAA has been exceptionally stringent in the past, you know, in approving medications or even grounding pilots who were put on certain medications that were relatively benign.
You know, back in December of 2021, we actually sent a letter to the FAA along with several doctors like Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long, Lieutenant Colonel Pete Chambers, several lawyers.
Peter McCullough, I believe, sent that letter as well.
And we pointed out the dangers of the vaccines and we were pulling this data from the VAERS system as well as actual accounts of pilots who had been severely disabled after taking the vaccines.
And so we sent this 10-page letter to the FAA detailing what was going on, asking them for reconsideration.
And they completely ignored this.
We know they got it.
We sent it via FedEx, via courier.
Signature is required.
They received this information.
So for the FAA to say that they didn't know what the potential outcome was is not accurate.
It's total malfeasance on their part.
And what's even more egregious at this point is they've now started to lessen the medical requirements for a pilot to pass a flight physical, specifically cardiac-related issues, right?
What has been the standard for over 100 years since the EKG was developed was something called the PR interval.
And the acceptable range for many, many years was 0.12 to 0.2, right?
It has to do with the electrical rhythm of the heart.
And typically anything above the.2 PR interval would have required additional testing to make sure that that pilot wasn't in first or second degree AB block.
Well, back in the fall of 2022, the FAA changed that requirement and they moved it out to 300 milliseconds, which can now be considered normal.
And as long as that pilot doesn't have any cardiac symptoms, so this is dependent upon the pilot's own reporting of their health condition.
If they're saying, look, I don't have any chest pain, Out to 300 milliseconds, which is considered very alarming for every other, you know, cardiac monitoring agency in the world, that's now normal and that pilot can go out and fly an aircraft.
And we know that if a pilot, you know, has first degree AV block, it certainly increases their chance of sudden death.
We've seen just a rash of pilot incapacitations.
Since then, and yet the FAA comes out, the top doctor there, the federal air surgeon, her name is Susan Northrup, has very publicly stated.
She says these vaccines have not harmed pilots.
They haven't...
You know, they haven't caused the pilot incapacitations, and yet the pilots who have been incapacitated, that's all a very different sort.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
And it's extraordinary to me where, you know, the FAA, of course, says you can't bring a bomb onto a commercial flight, but you can bring a medical ticking time bomb.
In the form of a vaccinated pilot who is in charge of the entire aircraft and potentially hundreds of lives.
Do you believe, Mr.
Yoder, that there have been deaths or incapacitations, loss of consciousness on the flight deck during active flights due to vaccine after effects?
Yes, absolutely.
And it's not just my opinion.
You can listen to the pilots it's happened to.
There are several pilots who are speaking out.
The first one back in 2021, his name was Cody Flint.
So Cody Flint, believing, trusting the FAA that the vaccines were safe and effective, he didn't really look into it himself.
He saw the order that came out from them, and he went through a drive-by clinic on the side of the road.
He received his first Pfizer shot, and he said within a minute of receiving that shot, he developed a headache.
And it's a headache that...
Continued to get worse over the course of two days.
So after you get the shots, you're required to wait a period of 48 hours before you can go fly.
And so he did that.
And at about the 50-hour mark, he was actually a crop duster pilot down in the Mississippi Delta.
And he takes off in his aircraft.
And as he cleared the tree lawn, he was starting to obtain some tunnel vision.
And after several passes across that field, his vision began to narrow him.
He believed that he was going to be able to land the aircraft, so he wanted to finish the job.
And so he pressed on for a few more minutes, but as he went up to pull over power lines at the end of the field, both of his inner ears ruptured at the same time.
He describes it as a bomb going off in his head.
And he actually passed out before he was able to land that aircraft and doesn't remember how he landed.
He ends up in his normal parking spot.
Cody has been very vocal.
He was the first pilot to speak out, the first vaccination pilot to speak out in 2021 and say, look, everything that Josh is saying is correct.
It happened to me because I knew of many cases behind the scenes where people weren't willing to go to the media with their stories.
And so when Cody did speak out, what he did is it gave courage to others, actually.
Who came forward, another one I think was in April, April 7th of 2022, Captain Bob Snow.
That's a story that's very well known by most people.
He was flying American Airlines 1067 from Denver to Dallas-Fort Worth.
And six minutes after the wheels of that aircraft touched down, it was an Airbus 321 with nearly 200 people on board.
They touched down on the runway, six minutes later there at the gate, and they were engaged in the deplaning process.
Captain Snow stood up to collect his bags to move on to the next aircraft, and he then collapsed in cardiac arrest.
And, you know, he received a J&J shot against his will, not something he wanted to do, but he did it because he needed to provide for his family.
And Captain Snow has been very vocal in this, and as a matter of fact, he has medical documentation to back it up, as does Cody Flint.
The doctors that are treating these two pilots say conclusively this was a vaccine injury.
In the case of Captain Bob Snow, myocarditis, and in the case of Cody Flint, it was a 300% increased intracranial pressure, which caused both of his inner ear officials to rupture at exactly the same time.
That's extraordinary.
and It leads me to my next question, which is to ask you about what's the talk among pilots.
And let me just preface that by saying that I've known a lot of commercial air pilots over the years.
And I found that pilots tend to be extremely well-informed, very high IQ individuals, very capable.
As you know, many of them are also military veterans.
I don't know if you are as well, but many of them tend to be.
And you have to be high IQ to be a good pilot, otherwise you die, right?
I mean, just to put it bluntly, right?
You need to know what you're doing.
And so these pilots tend to be well-informed, too, but they talk amongst themselves as well.
And so what's kind of the vibe or the chatter among pilots about these vaccines right now?
Well, right now, people that did take them are very much regretting it for the large part.
You have to understand that most of the people who took the vaccines, they did it because their careers were being threatened, not because they wanted to.
They were very much against it.
And so you saw most airline pilots that were holding out until the September, November timeframe of 2021, they didn't take them.
But when it, you know, first it was the carrot, the airlines were presenting the carrot and the stick, and first they were offering money for pilots to go out and take the vaccines, and that wasn't working.
Then they came down with the stick after the federal mandates were introduced.
And we were told conclusively, if you don't take these vaccines, you will be terminated.
We have that on video.
And so many of the people who took it didn't want it.
And now, like I said, the fallout has been incredible.
Lots of people suffering from neurologic dysfunction, lots of cardiac events, plenty of piloting capacitations to go around as well.
And I can tell you there's a tremendous level for dread among most of the people who did take them under duress.
They wished that they had held out, but no one knew how it was going to end.
They didn't know if it was actually going to end with the loss of their career.
They couldn't see forward to January of 2022, where the airlines were accepting religious and medical exemptions.
In large part, not all of them did, but most.
And so, you know, now there's a lot of fear.
And that's a huge mission of U.S. Freedom Flyers.
We've developed a large medical team of doctors and nurse companies who are actually treating these people who specialize in vaccine injury As you know, many pilots don't want to come forward to the FAA, to their flight doctors, because the second they do and they start reporting on these abnormalities, they lose their flight medical, and without that, you have no license, and then your career is over anyway.
And I think that's the irony of what's happened here, is that people did something in order to maintain their jobs, and now they're losing their jobs because of what they were forced to do illegally by the airlines and the FAA. Wow.
What a difficult position to put these individuals in.
But I'm glad that your organization is helping them get help to recover from these vaccine injuries.
But the injuries that have taken place among pilots, and perhaps some deaths as well, Isn't this causing a shortage of commercial pilots?
I think I've seen airlines suffer really alarming shortages of available pilots to conduct flights, and perhaps the only thing saving that is the downturn in the demand for air carriers, such as FedEx and UPS and so on, who are downsizing their routes, which would make more pilots available potentially for commercial flights.
But what's your assessment of the supply-demand situation here of commercial pilots and their availability right now?
I don't believe there's a singular factor that's affecting this.
It's a combination of factors.
We've always known that between 2020 and 2030, there was a projected pilot shortage anyway.
Something else we have to look at is during 2020, when the airlines were essentially flying empty aircraft, they allowed a percentage of their most senior employees to take early retirement.
And the other thing that I think surprised the airlines was a greater than anticipated return of demand in air travel.
It came back actually quite quickly.
And so, you know, you combine these things, you allow early retirements to happen.
You already have a pilot shortage because of mandatory retirements at the airlines.
So your training pipelines are full, right, trying to make up for that.
And then you throw on top of it the unexpected uptick in the long-term disability claims, which takes a pilot out of the flight deck.
We know at American Airlines it was a 300% increase.
That was just over a seven-month period.
So you combine all of these factors, and that is certainly contributing to what we're seeing today with the shortages and flight cancellations, as well as the parking of hundreds of aircraft actually across the industry.
But you're right.
I mean, certain things are...
You mentioned FedEx and UPS specifically, how they're having a route reduction.
I think hiring has really slowed down there.
So what that tells us, and that's pointing to economic factors because they're freight carriers.
So, you know, I'm not sure how this ends, but what I can tell you is that if nothing is done about this, it's not going to end well.
Because when you go and you look at Pfizer's own documents, you see side effects of things like myocarditis, paracarditis, neurological dysfunction, strokes, and blood clots.
These are the very types of things that I'm seeing on a daily basis.
I have conversations with pilots who are having these problems.
And especially as it applies to neurological issues, many of these pilots are still flying.
They're not coming forward.
They're having episodes of memory loss for five minutes at a time where they can't remember why they're sitting in the flight deck.
That's frightening.
It's very frightening.
I have several personal friends who tell me that sometimes they feel like they're going to pass out when they're walking to the mailbox and they'll sit down.
And, you know, when they sit down there, you know, everything returns to normal and they're good to go.
And the same thing's happening at the airport.
I personally know a pilot who has these episodes and he says, you know, when he's up and walking, that's when he'll experience the issues from time to time.
But if he sits down, it goes away.
He says, look, when I'm in the flight deck, I'm fine.
And these are pilots that are still out there flying.
They're flying, you know, large jets all across this country and internationally.
And it's because of the position that the FAA has taken.
They put these pilots in that position.
And U.S. Freedom Flyers is looking to bring litigation against the FAA to force them to actually do something about this.
And one of the greatest things we want to see happen is for a pilot amnesty program.
The pilot themselves should not be punished for what they've been forced to do or for what's happening to them.
There needs to be amnesty.
There needs to be a financial program to support these people.
The airlines and the FAA, they've created the problem, and it's up for them to resolve it.
Yeah, really good point.
I want to ask you more about that amnesty program.
But first, another question that came to mind.
What's the mood of potential pushback among your members and other pilots against any new mandates?
because there's a lot of speculation and actually a lot of hard data points that another COVID wave is being pretty aggressively pushed.
And we've seen mask mandates announced by certain universities and schools and health care organizations already.
And Joe Biden talking about funding another vaccine and how he says he wants to make sure all Americans get it.
So it's not a stretch to anticipate another big push for vaccine mandates and mask mandates.
My question to you, sir, is do you think that by and large that commercial pilots will comply with that or will they tell the establishment to go pound sand?
Well, we're not exactly sure.
We know that our members are obviously very much against any newly proposed mandates.
People are planning to stand up to it, but we're only a percentage of the industry, and it's hard to say.
I think most people don't want to see the mask mandates come back, but the messaging that we've sent to our members is, look, it's time to stand up on day one.
Don't even let them get the first day of these mask mandates reinstalled into the travel industry, because if you let them get started, It's very difficult to stop once it gets started.
We certainly do have a legal team here at U.S. Korean Flyers that will be fighting back legally.
But I think the most important thing that needs to happen is pilots, flight attendants, passengers, everybody needs to resist and push back and not allow it to happen.
We can't let them get away with this for even one day.
Because if we do, we'll see what it turns into.
They did the same thing during 2020.
It was two weeks to stop the spread.
And look where we were two years later.
You know, this is government-induced tyranny.
That's what they're bringing.
We know for a fact that masks don't slow or even stop the spread of COVID whatsoever.
As a matter of fact, back in 2020, the airlines, when their aircraft were empty, they paid millions of dollars for a peer-reviewed harbor study.
They said that your chance of contracting COVID on an aircraft is 0.003%.
And with numbers like that, I mean, wearing masks on an aircraft is completely nonsensical, even if they did work.
But we know that they don't work.
There's over 70 studies that I believe Brownstone Institute put out an article and they linked all the studies.
And Dr.
Fauci himself has said that masks don't work.
And so this is nothing more than government totalitarianism.
And the way to solve this is resistance, but it needs to be a large resistance, large and immediate, on day one if they do attempt to reinstate these mandates.
You know, the other thing we've seen, Mr. Yoder, is I think since COVID, we've also seen air passengers losing their minds.
You know, we have the famous incident of the crazy plane lady.
What is it?
T-M-F-I-N-R. That MF-er is not real, right?
That went very viral.
But it's just one example.
People seem to be snapping like never before.
And I don't know if that's related to medical interventions or just tensions or stress or inflation and people can't afford food or what have you.
But I want to ask you, The people in your industry, have they noticed?
I mean, is this a real thing that more people are becoming more unstable in terms of the passengers on commercial flights, or is that just my perception?
Well, what I can tell you is it was exceptionally bad during the mandates, the mask mandates.
Many people didn't want to wear the masks on aircraft, so they pushed back, and that caused disturbances.
And I can't blame them.
It was the same.
I didn't want to wear a mask either.
And I think that, you know, if we see a reinstatement of the mask mandates, you're going to see a major disruption in the attitudes of travelers.
You know, people don't want this.
It's highly unpopular in this country.
And, you know, I think that that's why it needs to be stopped on day one.
There, you know, like you said, there seems to have been an uptick.
I mean, you hear about these passenger disturbances quite frequently.
Exactly what's causing that, I'm not sure, but I think people are just fed up.
You know, they're not treated the same as they used to be treated on airlines.
Customer service has definitely declined to a significant level.
And, you know, when you have happy employees, you have happy customers, because the employee would go out of the way for the customer.
And as it currently stands at the airlines, with this constant threat hanging over our heads, there's a lot of people who are miserable and upset.
And that, I think, translates into passenger behavior as well.
And if you want my opinion on it, I don't think the airlines actually want the mask mandates to come back.
Because they know of the disruptions that it causes.
It's a huge pain.
No one wants it.
But what you have to look at is these airlines are largely owned by BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, these large companies, and they're beholden to the government.
They've taken billions of dollars.
Well, it's basically a government-subsidized industry at this point.
I mean, these airlines wouldn't exist without the recovery money during COVID. Yeah, that's correct.
It's not just during COVID. It's when they go through bankruptcies and you name it.
Essentially, what you're looking at here is you're looking at corporate fascism.
These companies will go along with whatever the government or these large investment companies tell them.
One particular example is the ESG score.
When you have BlackRock that owns 20-30% of your shares and they come out and they will not loan you money if you have a low ESG score.
That's obviously creating tensions in the workplace.
All of this is combined together.
It's not a single factor that's causing the issues, but they're certainly all contributing.
Yeah, that's interesting.
So if you're an airline, you can put a plane in the air with a pilot that might die from a vaccine and threaten the lives of 300 people.
That seems to be okay.
But if you're opposed to, let's say, the LGBT flag, that's a dire penalty right there.
That's going to get you taken down by the establishment.
So the priorities seem to be wrong.
It's supposed to be about passenger safety and flight crew safety also.
You know, safety first, and also you don't want, obviously, the aircraft falling into a residential area and harming people on the ground.
It's supposed to be about safety and getting people from point A to point B in a safe, reliable, and economical manner, and yet that's all been thrown out the window because of all these now political objectives and narratives, which include, I think, COVID and the vaccines.
They are political narratives now.
They're not based on science or medicine.
Does that make sense?
It makes total sense.
As a matter of fact, it starts far above the airline.
It starts at the Department of Transportation and the FAA. So, you know, look at who the Secretary of Transportation is.
It's Pete Buttigieg, who's a gay male, and that's the only reason that he actually got that position.
He had absolutely no experience in transportation whatsoever.
He was a small-town mayor filling potholes before he was hired as the Secretary of Transportation.
And Pete Buttigieg is actually pushing this nonsense.
Even at the FAA, they came out for, I believe it was the 2023 budget, and one of their top priorities was ESG. So this is the type of ridiculous nonsense that's coming down from the regulator who's tasked with maintaining the safest and most efficient aerospace system in the world.
That's the FAA's tagline.
And yet they're pushing, you know, all of these leftist woke agendas.
That has a trickle-down effect, comes down to the airlines, obviously coming in through the largest investors, local shareholders.
And then they push that on their employees.
And the fastest way to be fired at a U.S. airline currently is to stand up against the The wokeism, the woke culture, you can get away with violating safety protocols in some cases, but you certainly can't get away.
They attempt not to let you get away with standing up against woke culture.
Well, I'm glad you mentioned the person that Joe Biden calls Booty Juice, by the way, who actually oversees other areas of transportation as well, because I wanted to ask you about, you know, your group focuses on pilots, obviously, but I'm curious if you've had contact or conversations with other groups For example, you know, barge operators or ship operators, crane operators.
There are many, many professional groups where men and women are put in charge of equipment where many lives could be at risk.
Public safety is at risk.
And yet vaccine mandates tend to be required across many of these, including military, police, fire response, you know, first responders and so on.
Are you are you working with any other groups to share strategies or legal resources or anything like that?
Oh, we do.
Absolutely, yes.
As a matter of fact, this gentleman by the name of Eric Mallow, he really oversees the rail industry as it pertains to these topics.
And they're having the exact same problems there.
You know, many railroad workers that are severely damaged, they obviously stood up against the vaccines as well, fought back legally.
You know, the groups of tugboat drivers and ship captains and those types of folks, much smaller groups, many of them are actually members of U.S. Freedom Flyers.
We work together and we share ideas.
U.S. Freedom Flyers is actually part of an international conglomerate called the Global Aviation Advocacy Coalition.
So there's groups like ours all around the world.
We have Free to Fly in Canada, the Aussie Freedom Flyers, the U.K. Freedom Flyers, as well as groups in France and several other countries.
And so the All of us, we've worked together on the global initiatives, specifically pushing back against the vaccine passports.
You know, that's become a hot topic of discussion at the WEF. They very clearly came out and they said that, look, they're planning to have international vaccine passports.
This is something that everyone needs to get behind.
If you want to travel freely without, you know, being forced to be vaccinated, we're asking you to get behind U.S. Freedom Flyers, please.
We need your funds.
We need people to donate, usgreenflyers.org.
We have been fighting back since the beginning of this, and it's not something that we can do alone.
It's something that's going to require passenger input.
We have many, many employees that are behind us, but this affects everyone.
Good point.
Let me give out your website, too.
USfreedomflyers.org is the website, and I'm glad you mentioned that, because this is more than just an organization for pilots.
This is also about passengers and people who use the air infrastructure in the United States and around the world for the convenience of it.
And if you want to be able to travel freely, then this, folks, is a really important organization to support.
Because I remember hearing from a great many people that the reason they got vaccinated was because they needed to visit a family member, sometimes a son or daughter in school, or they need to visit an elderly parent for medical care or whatever.
And they got the vaccine so they could fly.
So that mandate was pushed onto the passengers just as much as the pilots, if not even more, And then with all the vaccine shedding issue that exists, it can turn those airplanes into spike protein tubes, where people are just shedding spike protein particles throughout the cabin of the aircraft.
That's being, you know, recirculated through the system, I suppose.
And that can put everybody at risk.
I mean, I'm sure that's a concern of you and others, that you're sharing the same air often with other vaccinated people, right?
Well, actually, on the aircraft, I wouldn't be so concerned on the aircraft.
You know, like I said, that study they did back in 2020 says you have a.003% chance of contracting COVID. And that's because the air in most aircraft is circulated about every two minutes.
Actually, it's put through a heap of filtration systems, so the air on the aircraft is, in fact, very safe.
It's the close contact in the airports where you don't have the circulation.
Ah, good point.
That's probably where you're most likely being infected if you're going to be infected.
Well, yeah, okay, that's interesting.
So you have the HEPA air filters, but I'm just thinking passengers sitting right next to other passengers before that goes into filtration, you know, like a freshly vaccinated person, there could be an aura of spike protein particles shedding off of that person in the seat next to you.
And as we all know, especially in coach, those seats are pretty tight.
You know, they're right there.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, there certainly is a risk there.
And I hear from a lot of pilots, actually, who say that, you know, when they're flying with a vaccinated person, they're coming home, especially recently vaccinated or boosted.
They come home, they don't feel well for a few days.
I mean, I've gotten hundreds of those complaints.
And, you know, it's anecdotal evidence.
I can't, you know, conclusively say that's what's going on.
But it's interesting that people are reaching out and that's what they're telling us.
So, yeah, I think there certainly is a risk, but more importantly, first of all, we're not just an organization for pilots.
I mean, it's other airline employees as well, and like I said, the passengers.
But what's most concerning here is that the pilots that are flying your aircraft are flying with drugs in their system that, like I said, they have no side effects.
These are published by Pfizer.
Heart attacks, strokes, blood clots.
You know, pulmonary embolisms, I mean, they just go down the list.
And that's exactly what we're seeing.
And the neurologic dysfunction seems to be something that's becoming more prominent.
And as has been explained to me by several doctors, they think what's happening is they're seeing transient ischemic strokes.
Because we know that microplotting is a severe issue with these jabs.
And, you know, I think that, you know, at a minimum, pilots should be going out, you know, while the FAA doesn't require it, they should be going out and getting themselves tested, getting a D-dimer test.
Yeah, well said.
I'm glad you mentioned the flight crew as well because they are interacting with the public obviously far more than the pilots obviously and handling drinks in many cases in close contact and I would imagine that flight crews and flight attendants also value their health freedom and don't want to be ordered around and told what they have to do.
And then they become enforcers, obviously, in many cases.
During mask mandates, the flight crew has to tell the passengers, you have to put the mask up over your nose, otherwise we can't push back and complete the trip here.
So it puts everybody in a very difficult situation.
So...
Are you hearing from the flight crews and flight attendants?
And by the way, I'm still trying to get people to stop using the term stewardesses.
I don't know why people still use that term decades later.
Folks, it's flight attendants and flight crew, correct?
Do I have that right?
That's correct.
Okay, great.
I'm just putting that correction out there for the benefit of everybody.
But what's your impression of the support of Health Freedom among the flight crew?
Largely, they support it.
You obviously do have the few people out there, the few flight attendants out there who really did enjoy the power that they were given during COVID. I think they were pretty much universally referred to as Sky Nazis by a lot of people.
It's a miserable experience when you have someone who's just constantly policing whether you have a mask on your face or not.
What's ironic is that you're supposed to wear this mask, but then The second the snacks come around, you can take it off, and as long as you're eating, there's no issue.
I mean, it just goes to show how moronic the entire situation is.
Seriously, yeah.
And I think that's what we need to get people to understand, is that this isn't about your safety or your health.
It has everything to do with controlling your compliance.
Yeah, it's about compliance, exactly.
And since they have you in an enclosed space that's regulated by the federal government, then they can turn that into an obedience experiment.
Really, a literal captive audience for an obedience experiment.
Yes?
Yeah, that's precisely what it is.
I mean, it was just, you know, it was so clear.
It's like when, you know, we presented the companies with the data, we've shown them that they're not increasing safety, that it's not working, and yet they go along with it.
But like I said, for the reasons that I mentioned earlier, it's because of the money flow, largely, I think is what's going on here.
It certainly is not a business decision.
It doesn't bring you more travelers when you start enforcing illegal mandates on people.
But they also know that if they don't comply, there's certain consequences that come with that as well.
That's right.
All right, let me shift gears.
I want to ask you about AI replacement of human pilots because, of course, the more you push back against vaccine mandates and mask mandates and so on, the more the airlines want to replace human pilots with AI systems.
Now, you and I both know that actually being a pilot is a highly complex adaptive task, or I should say a collision of a series of tasks all demanding your time at the same moment.
But...
AI systems are becoming a lot more sophisticated.
Do you believe a day is coming when one or more of the pilots on an aircraft will be replaced with an AI system from takeoff to landing and taxiing as well?
All of that.
Is that going in the direction of AI? They're certainly already having the conversations.
I mean, that's something that's being pushed.
You know, unions are obviously pushing back against this.
The companies, though, from the company's perspective, you know, employees are very expensive, and the more employees they can get rid of and replace with AI technology, they obviously seem to be in favor of it.
That's something that I think is a terrible idea, especially in the age where we're seeing now with the pilot incapacitations.
Just in the month of August alone, we had six.
I think three of those pilots died several in flight.
And so you can incorporate AI all you want, but at the same time, there is no replacing two highly trained human pilots who can react to emergencies.
Pilots specifically, you're looking ahead, you're thinking ahead, you're planning, you have two separate minds there that are contributing to the safety of the flight.
And I don't believe that could be replaced by AI officially.
The technology certainly does not currently exist that would match the level of qualification and competency of a two-person flight crew.
But there certainly is, it's trending in that direction.
They're trying to push that through, and I think it's going to be a disaster figure.
I agree with you.
I think it's going to be a disaster because AI systems fail.
In fact, all systems fail.
And, you know, a big part of the job of the pilot is to deal with failures.
And keep that aircraft flying safely despite the failures.
And I think the average American consumer slash passenger has no idea how often things actually go wrong.
With the aircraft that the pilot has to compensate for.
And you think about, it just happened today.
The day that we're going to do this interview, I saw the news this morning.
United Airlines had temporarily grounded all flights because of what they called a systemic technology issue.
Which means something in their central servers had a problem and they couldn't communicate with planes.
So they literally grounded their entire fleet for some period of time.
That was lifted before very long.
But that happened.
Well, what happens if you're in the air and you have a systems, a technology systems problem with your AI pilot?
What do you do?
Does the flight attendant yell back to the passengers, hey, are there any humans who still know how to fly, you know, because we're falling?
Is that, I mean, it's going to be a disaster.
Yeah, I agree.
We fly aircraft, you know, occasionally it happens.
You have a technological failure.
And yet those pilots can still fly the aircraft.
But if it's technology that's flying the aircraft, then you have to ask yourself what happens when the technology fails and there's no backup.
Exactly.
I will not fly on an airplane piloted by AI. I mean, that's it.
Yeah, I wouldn't agree with you.
I wouldn't either.
I mean, when you take a large airliner, let's say they take one pilot out of that flight deck and it's compensated by AI technology.
You know, especially in light of what we're seeing now with the pilots dropping dead and being suddenly incapacitated because of, you know, what's presumed to be vaccine injuries.
And we know that, you know, more than 80 percent or around 80 percent of airline pilots have been vaccinated.
So now you have it's potentially a faulty AI system.
And then you also have a potentially, you know, faulty pilot to, you know, put it in that term.
But I think it's a it's a ridiculous idea.
It's a terrible idea that the companies are, you know, they're they're driven by money.
They're not driven by common sense these days, which has just become so apparent.
Yeah.
And I'd like to kind of kind of wrap up this thought.
You know, I think you and I would both agree that air travel in America has traditionally been remarkably safe.
And economical.
You know, and I think that's because of the principles of what used to drive the FAA or the NTSB, for example, or, you know, the Department of Transportation.
You know, again, the FAA, like, mandated engine overhaul hours and all kinds of things, and pilot training and, you know, physical assessment of the pilots.
But...
As the FAA and the Department of Transportation and the government and the corporations move away from focusing on safety and start to move into compliance and virtue signaling, then the safety record can't stand.
It's going to get worse.
Would you agree?
I would absolutely agree.
What we've seen over the past three years has been a complete degradation of aviation safety.
And it's because they've been going along with the compliance with the agenda.
And not actually looking forward to see what the actual impact is going to be.
And like I said, the FAA has been born December of 2021.
We sent a 10-page legal letter.
They can't feign ignorance at this point.
There is no ignorance.
Everybody knows what's going on.
And yet they continue down this path, and they're not willing to address the issue.
And the reason they're not willing to address the issue is because everyone at this point has civil and criminal liability.
We know that the mandates were actually illegal from day one.
And so they participated in a crime.
Now there's harm that has been caused.
Thank God we have not had a fatal accident with an airline yet caused by this.
But if we continue down this path and we don't take appropriate actions, I'm afraid that that's where we're going to end up.
And that's what we're trying to avoid at U.S. Freedom Flyers.
That's why litigation needs to be brought against the FAA. That's why we need public funding to help us support this.
Because we need to hold their feet to the fire and force them to actually take a proactive stance.
And to look into this issue and actually monitor pilots' health more closely, and then those pilots who are disqualified because of the illegal mandates that were forced upon them, those people need to be compensated so they don't lose everything they have.
Okay, one more question.
Might be pure speculation on your part, but what do you think happened to Malaysian Airlines Flight 370?
You know, I don't know.
I wish I knew.
There's so many theories out there as to what has happened, given the state of our government.
And we know they've intentionally taken down airliners before just to get rid of a few people on them.
You go back to, you know, there's been several cases.
But, you know, I have no idea.
I really can't speculate to it, but nothing about that case.
Yeah.
Well, I appreciate your honest answer.
It's just that It vanished.
And that's more disturbing than if you were to find the wreckage.
At least if you found the wreckage, you would be able to piece together what happened.
But apparently it just vanished.
But I want to thank you, Mr.
Yoder, for joining us.
And I really appreciate...
You're just being forthright about what's going on.
And I want to say that I believe the American people support everything that you're talking about here.
Yes, they want to fly commercially, but they don't want to be ordered around and put into an obedience training camp.
They're happy to pay the airlines for air tickets, but don't make me wear a mask.
Don't make me take a vaccine.
I think that's the mood across the country right now.
I agree.
And it's growing.
You know, people just want their freedom back.
And the thing is, we should have never allowed it to be taken from us in the first place.
And I just hope that people who complied the first time, you know, on the second time around or what appears to be the second time around, it's time that we stand up.
All of us need to stand up.
You know, never underestimate the power that you have as an individual.
When you stand up to tyranny and you do the right thing, you always influence people around you, even when you don't ever watch it.
Good point.
Exactly.
Just set the example for those around you.
Well, I want to thank you again, Mr.
Yoder.
The website is usfreedomflyers.org.
And folks, you can join up.
You don't have to be a pilot.
You don't have to work for an airline.
You can just be a customer who cares about freedom in your transportation.
But check out the website.
Consider a donation to help cover legal costs or just become a member and spread the word.
You can repost this interview on other channels as well.
Thank you so much, Mr.
Yoder.
It's been a pleasure speaking with you today.
Yeah, thank you.
I appreciate it.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, take care.
And for those of you watching, as always, you can, of course, post this on other channels and just give credit.
Give a link back to usfreedomflyers.org.
And also, I would just add, you know, I'm not saying to be belligerent.
You can just remain calm and firm and stand your ground in a rational, calm way.
But do not give in to mask mandates and vaccine mandates and other nonsense.
And this time, if the airlines try to push this on us, then we're going to boycott those airlines.
We're going to successfully boycott them.
And it doesn't matter how much bailout money the government prints to bail out those airlines, because the boycotts, we simply will not fly on them until the mandates are reversed.
So thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams here, the founder of Brighteon.com, and also at one time a trained pilot myself in Cessna aircraft.
Little training planes doing night flights and, I don't know, interesting, scary stuff.
Where your flight instructor turns off your engine in the middle of a night flight.
Oh, what are you going to do now?
Okay.
Well, and that's nothing compared to what people like Mr.
Yoder go through with their training.
So I trust the pilots.
I don't trust the AI. I don't trust the corporations.
And I don't trust the government.
But I do trust the human pilots, especially those who rejected the vaccines.
So thank you for watching today.
Take care, everybody.
I want to thank you for your support at healthrangerestore.com.
Over the Labor Day weekend, we had quite high demand for these products here, the number 10 cans of various certified organic lab-tested freeze-dried foods.
Bananas are one of the things that we actually still have remaining.
We have some raspberries and also some strawberries.
That's the can on top is strawberries.
And we have other fruits and vegetables still available, although many of them are nearly depleted in terms of supply.
You can go to healthrangerstore.com and search on number 10 cans, and you can see some of the selection that we have here, including spirulina and chlorella powders, as well as, oh gosh, this is sold out, the broccoli, this is sold out, the yellow miso powder.
Yeah, sold out apple, black beans.
Sorry, I'm not trying to show you everything that's sold out.
But some of them are still available.
And the thing is, we're noticing a lot of people getting into number 10 can stored food because it's very portable.
And it's also rodent proof.
So it's virtually impossible for mice or raccoons to get into these cans because of course they're sealed steel all the way on top.
and then there's a plastic lid on top that you can use after you open it with any regular can opener.
But you can check out those products at the store.
Again, healthrangerstore.com.
We appreciate your support.
I want to show you two other pieces of gear that you might find useful during this time when there are fires being waged, allowed to burn or perhaps even ignited by nefarious forces.
There's sabotage happening nationwide, and there's more looting and shoplifting and home invasions and so on.
And you never know when you're going to have to defend yourself or have to bug out, even if you live in Hawaii, for example.
This device from the satellite phone store here, this is called the Bivvy Stick.
It's very, very small.
This is the two-way satellite text messenger that I've been raving about for, I don't know, over a year.
This thing talks to satellites.
And just using your mobile phone and Bluetooth connections, you can compose and read texts through this satellite texting device.
And you can send a text to any regular phone.
And you can receive a text from any regular phone because you get a phone number attached to this.
But you don't need cell towers to operate in order to send and receive texts.
So if you have to bug out, if you have a natural disaster, if you have an emergency going on, whatever the case may be, war, terrorism, you name it, you know, hurricanes, then this is a way to get the message out to family and loved ones or even emergency responders to let them know that either, you know, you're OK or you're in danger if you need evacuation, whatever the case may be.
And then this knife, this is, you know, I have I co-designed three new knives with the Dawson Knife Company.
Okay.
And this knife right here, you can go in a close-up, yeah.
This turned out to be the number one most popular knife, but in the red handle.
And this knife is a bushcrafting knife.
I named it Mass Ratio, and it's very highly functional.
It's a magna-cut steel alloy, which is just extraordinary.
It has Rockwell hardness along the blade of 60 to 62mm.
But more flexibility along the spine.
So this knife actually resists breakage.
It's very flexible.
It's hard.
It's sharp, and it doesn't need to be resharpened very frequently compared to other knives.
And on this end is an actual prying function here.
It's a little pry bar on this end.
And then these three holes right here allow you to use paracord, and you can attach this to a stick or a rod, and you can make a So this is actually an amazing survival tool.
It's available now at healthrangerstore.com along with two other knives.
We also have these other two knives available at the store.
This is a tactical knife here called Resonance.
And this one here, this is a covert knife that's called Consequences.
And I call this...
Politely proportioned for lots of things.
And again, the MagnaCut blade and the incredible G10 handle.
This is extremely functional.
All of these are available right now at HealthRangerStore.com.
Supplies are dwindling because we've had a lot of interest in this gear.
People seem to be in survival mode right now, whether it's backup comms or knives or food or iodine or whatever.
People are definitely in prepping mode.
And it's not just food.
It's a lot of gear right now.
That's what we're seeing.
So just make sure you are squared away with everything that you need to survive a collapse of a city, a mass exodus of refugees out of that city, perhaps the collapse of a fiat currency, or the collapse of the rule of law, which appears to be happening and accelerating nearly every day in Democrat-run cities like San Francisco and also Los Angeles and others, Chicago.
Did you know Illinois is a state now where more people are leaving?
Per capita than from any other state.
Yeah, people are fleeing Chicago and Illinois more than they're fleeing California and Los Angeles, if you can believe that.
That's how bad things are in Chicago, a city that is relentlessly run by lawless Democrats who defend criminals and prosecute the innocent, by the way, and tax everybody to death.
So if you have the chance to get out of these cities now while you can, most definitely do so.
And when you get to your destination, stock up.
On the number 10 cans, stock up on the food, stock up on seeds, stock up on gear, the things that you need to be able to be resilient and to survive whatever's coming.
I'm not sure what's going to hit first, but it's not going to be pretty.
We can already see we're headed into a hyperinflationary currency collapse event, and trillions more are being printed, it seems like every month or two at this point, and Paying the interest on the national debt is now the number one outlay of federal spending.
It's more than Social Security and it's more than the Department of Defense and the Pentagon, you know, the whole military-industrial complex.
We pay more in interest on the debt than we pay to the military, and America has the largest military spending in the world by far.
Larger than many other nations combined, including China and Russia, by the way.
So think about that.
Things are going to get dicey, to say the least.
But thank you for your support.
Get yourself squared away.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thanks for watching today.
Take care.
A global reset is coming.
And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
So download this guide.
It's free.
