	I feel incredibly energized today.
	Hope you're ready for a hard-hitting show.
	I feel like there is a mass awakening taking place on behalf of humanity right now because of events.
	And now we're going to go through hell.
	Don't get me wrong.
	We're going to go through hell.
	We're going to go through a world war.
	There's no question that the neocons are going to get the war they want, and there's currently probably enough popular support for that war, which, of course, people will regret as soon as they start living the war, right?
	I mean, you know, it's very easy for someone in America to sit on their couch and watching Netflix and ordering, like, Grubhub, you know, and saying, yeah, let's have war in the Middle East because it doesn't affect us here in, you know, Iowa.
	Until it does, right?
	Until there's Hamas terrorists attacking your grocery store with suicide vests and blowing up your friends, you know, and the supply chains collapse and gasoline is $15 a gallon.
	Oh, and then it sucks.
	It's easy to call for war somewhere else.
	It's hard to live it.
	And a lot of people, of course, have never lived through much of anything resembling difficulty.
	So, you know, they have big mouths and small spines.
	But I've got a fired up show for you today here because, well, you'll see some very important things are about to happen.
	The title of today's show, at least the working title, is The Choice.
	Demand peace and live in abundance.
	Pursue war and we all die.
	Now, maybe technically we all don't die, but we all suffer and a lot of us die.
	So that's the choice that humanity now faces.
	And sadly, that choice is in the hands of a very small number of people, most of whom were never elected, like Joe Biden, for example.
	Not elected to the office of the president.
	Presidency.
	He was elected, you know, to the Senate in his previous career and so on, but he was not elected as president and so he does not represent us and who knows what shenanigans went on with Netanyahu and Israel over all these years.
	Plenty of those.
	The point is that we're being led to world war by people who do not represent we the people and as a result we're all going to suffer consequences That many of us, you know, frankly don't deserve and did not initiate.
	But I do have an important announcement here.
	The telethon for Bright Town TV that was scheduled for tomorrow is hereby rescheduled to some unknown future date.
	Because I have good information, reliable information, I believe, coming to me that says that by Wednesday...
	Israel will be attacking Gaza with full ground forces, and we're going to be in the beginning of a regional war.
	And it's the worst day possible to run, you know, any kind of telethon or fundraising or public support effort for Brighton TV. So we've just canceled it for now.
	And I'm still doing special interviews that day, by the way.
	If you want to watch, I'm going to have Jeffrey Prather on.
	That's in an evening time.
	Let me get the times for you.
	I'm also going to have Andy Sheckman on that day.
	So I have Andy Schachman at 1.30 p.m.
	Central, and then I have Jeffrey Prather at 5 p.m.
	Central.
	So there will be other hosts and other shows throughout the day on Wednesday.
	Again, brighttown.tv, you will see real-time coverage of whatever is happening in Israel and the Middle East and Gaza and the war and all of that from all the different hosts, but I will have those two interviews happening on that day.
	It's just that there's no fundraiser.
	We appreciate your patience.
	This is just how world events are shaping up.
	Now, as I said, I am told that this attack by Israel, the full ground attack, is now inevitable.
	However, in fact, I'm told it's going to happen in the next 48 hours.
	It may happen by the time you hear this.
	But there are some possibilities of it not happening.
	For example, this is being reported by RT. Israel issues ultimatum on Gaza.
	An IDF spokesman, Jonathan Konrikus, says there would be no ground operation if Hamas surrenders and releases all hostages.
	So in order to achieve this, Hamas would have to offer an unconditional surrender.
	Which I'm not sure exactly what that means.
	I mean, do they turn themselves in?
	I'm not sure, but they have to free all hostages.
	According to IDF spokesperson, again, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus, this story says that should that not occur, that IDF Minister Joab Gallant, who has previously said that Essentially, they want to kill everybody, all the Palestinians.
	He says that it could take up to three months to wage this ground war against Hamas in Gaza.
	So here's the exact quote from Conricus.
	Quote, if Hamas were to come out of their hiding places that they hide underneath the civilians, he's referring to the underground tunnels, That are very deep, by the way, that are in essence impervious to Israeli bombing.
	But he continues, quote, And return our hostages, all 212 of them, and surrender unconditionally, then the war would end, Conricus stated.
	And he concluded that if the militants fail to comply with those conditions, then, quote, we will probably have to go in and get it done.
	So, Understand that Hamas is demanding the release of, I think, 6,000 Hamas prisoners that are held by Israel.
	Something on the order of 6,000.
	It might be 5,000.
	It might be 6,000, but it's something in that neighborhood.
	Now, as long as we're keeping track of numbers here, the current...
	The current number of casualties, or dead Palestinians in Gaza, which of course would include some number of Hamas, is reported by Al Jazeera, which is relying on, I think, three sources.
	One of them is the Gaza Health Ministry.
	But the current number of Palestinians that have been killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza is 5,087.
	And 2,000 plus of those are children.
	That's what's being reported.
	So 2,000 children dead, 5,000 total Palestinians dead.
	And recall that the total number of casualties of dead Israeli civilians was about 1,400 or something very close to that, killed by Hamas during its atrocious terrorist attacks on Israel that took place on October killed by Hamas during its atrocious terrorist attacks on Israel that
	Now, these 5,000 deaths among Palestinian people are occurring, of course, because of the relentless bombing by Israel, which absolutely has included bombs striking, whether intentional or otherwise, they have struck churches and hospitals and clinics and water they have struck churches and hospitals and clinics and water treatment facilities, residential buildings and so on.
	And that's why the deaths have reached over 5,000.
	Now, because of these numbers, you're going to hear from Colonel Douglas McGregor here, who was featured on a Tucker Carlson interview.
	You're going to hear from Douglas McGregor the fact that Because of these high casualty numbers, the world is beginning, or public opinion is beginning to really turn against Israel's continued bombings.
	There is immense pressure on Israel to engage in a ceasefire.
	In fact, even from the UN, there is immense pressure.
	And if not for the US veto of a UN resolution, by the way, the UN already would have officially ordered a ceasefire or demanded it.
	Not that Israel would have, you know, followed that.
	But the world wants a ceasefire for the most part.
	It's just that Israel and the United States do not.
	Everybody else does.
	Everybody else, almost.
	Well, maybe not the UK. And I don't know about...
	What France is up to at the moment.
	But most of the world, most of the population of the world, the countries that represent them, want a ceasefire and they want diplomacy and they want, you know, cooler heads to prevail.
	And that has not yet happened.
	But until the moment comes that Israel actually launches this ground attack on Gaza, there is a chance.
	There's a chance for de-escalation, which would halt the 22 devastating Chain reaction effects that I covered in yesterday's podcast, which are rather devastating because they result in the collapse of the dollar, the end of the United States of America, and Israel being completely overrun and destroyed.
	So let us hope that de-escalation can be achieved because we don't want to see the end of the Western world.
	Well, I mean, most of us don't want to see that, but of course, maybe the Arab world does want to see that, and they're actively trying to make that happen.
	Now, Colonel Douglas McGregor sat down with Tucker Carlson some...
	I don't know if it was a day ago or two days ago or whenever it was recorded.
	I don't know.
	I'm going to play several minutes for you here because it's uncanny that Colonel Douglas McGregor in this interview with Tucker Carlson that was just released in the last day sounds so similar to what I was saying in yesterday's podcast.
	It's almost...
	I mean, it's almost perfectly aligned.
	And what's uncanny about it, of course, is, you know, Colonel Douglas McGregor has all these decades of military experience and firsthand war experience with the tank battalions and units in Desert Storm and so on.
	And He and I independently have come to almost the exact same conclusions about where this is going.
	And I'm not in any way accusing him of, you know, listening to my podcast and lifting that material.
	No, no.
	He doesn't need to do that.
	He's his own man.
	He has his own mind.
	He draws his own conclusions.
	He is highly capable of thinking for himself and he has a grand strategic understanding, a comprehensive understanding of geopolitics As well as, of course, the military aspects of all of this.
	So he and I have come to almost the exact same conclusions on many important points.
	But this first clip that I want to play for you is Douglas McGregor.
	This is actually almost six minutes, actually.
	It's the beginning of Tucker Carlson's show, but...
	Colonel McGregor talking about how everybody is emoting right now instead of actually thinking ahead and thinking strategically and being rational about the long-term implications of present-day actions.
	But people are emoting, which we're all seeing.
	I'm experiencing it, too.
	Some people aren't happy with what I said over the past few days.
	Everybody's angry.
	Everybody's all heated.
	And this is happening everywhere right now, by the way.
	Everybody's, you know, angry.
	And this is a globalist success, by the way.
	Globalists like to divide people based on religion, not just race, not just ethnicity, not just language, but they like to divide people along the lines of religion.
	And that's why this is also a psyop targeting Christians to try to divide people on whether they support the Holy War or they're opposed to the Holy War and they want peace.
	Right.
	So so that's another way that globalists divide everybody.
	But also importantly, Colonel Douglas McGregor says that this is how this this escalation of Israel attacking Gaza could lead us to the point where we end up in a war with Russia, with Iran as kind of the interim state that we would be at war with Iran as kind of the interim state that we would but then Russia getting involved very, very quickly because Russia has already said it will respond to attacks on its assets in Syria, for example.
	So, This is going to be about a six-minute segment.
	Again, it's some of the best video footage that McGregor has ever filmed and that Tucker Carlson has ever aired.
	And note that Fox News would never air this segment, only on X, formerly Twitter.
	Would you be able to see this?
	And I almost never play six minutes of anything, but these are six minutes that you need to hear.
	It's rich with content and understanding.
	So give it a listen.
	I'll be back with you on the other side.
	We seem to be heading to war with Iran.
	Certainly the Biden administration is pushing us in that direction.
	What's new and interesting and ominous is that very few Republicans, the opposition party, are pushing back.
	Instead, some of the party's leaders are encouraging it.
	Here, for example, is Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina from last weekend on NBC. I would consider that a threat to the state of Israel.
	Existential in nature.
	I will introduce a resolution in the United States Senate to allow military action by the United States in conjunction with Israel to knock Iran out of the oil business.
	Iran, if you escalate this war, we're coming for you.
	Are you effectively poised to declare war on Iran?
	That's very strong language.
	I am poised to use military force to destroy the source of funding for Hamas and Hezbollah.
	Now, that's Lindsey Graham.
	Few others in the Republican Party will be that open about their intentions, but very few disagree with him.
	Certainly not in private.
	They agree.
	So what would war with Iran mean?
	Well, it's hard to know because virtually no one who's talking about it in public is operating from a deep interest in America's interest.
	Is this good for us or is it not?
	Former Colonel Douglas McGregor is the CEO of Our Country, Our Choice and one of the first people we turn to for analysis of events like this because he is interested in what happens to the United States.
	He joins us now.
	Doug, thank you for coming on.
	Do you think that we are moving toward war with Iran?
	Yes, I do.
	And it looks like the chosen destination is indeed Armageddon.
	There doesn't seem to be any real appreciation for the implications for us and, frankly, for Europe and the world, as well as the Middle East, of such action.
	You know, take for an example, just on the economic side, about 20 percent of the world's oil passes through the Straits of Hormuz every month.
	Probably 25% of liquefied natural gas.
	And you're talking about shutting down two to three million barrels a day of oil from Iran.
	You know, this entire region is involved in the war.
	This is not an Iranian monopoly by any stretch of the imagination.
	But the point is that when we're looking at 10-year Treasury yields up over 5%, and people are increasingly convinced that the Fed has lost control, the economic side of the house is catastrophe.
	Then when you look at the military side, you have to look at the arsenal of missiles.
	That Iran possesses.
	And they can reach out 1,200 miles with great precision, very high explosive conventional warheads that would do enormous damage, destroying whole city blocks in places like Haifa, Tel Aviv, even Jerusalem, though I doubt they would attack Jerusalem.
	The bottom line is that we need to think this through, and everyone right now is emoting.
	There is no thinking anywhere, as far as I can tell.
	The only possible exception may be, amazingly enough, Mr.
	Erdogan in Turkey, who came out this morning and indicated he was willing to mediate the dispute between Israel and Hamas.
	Whether or not anyone in Washington or Israel is interested in talking, I don't know.
	But if we could sideline Turkey and keep Turkey out of the fight, that would ultimately help Israel enormously.
	So what would happen to the United States if we followed Senator Graham's advice and just began bombing critical infrastructure in Iran?
	What would happen then?
	Well, all of the bases that we have in Iraq and Syria, unfortunately, where we still have over 1,000 Americans, all of those would be targeted.
	And this time, they would target them accurately.
	And this destruction would be wholesale.
	I would expect trouble here at home and in the United States because of the open border.
	Hezbollah has a very large operation in Mexico.
	There are no doubt many, many, many Hezbollah agents inside the United States.
	We can only begin to imagine the kind of trouble they could cause.
	The missile and space program in Iran is very, very advanced, as is their cyber warfare capability.
	All of these things would be brought to bear against us.
	But what's most important, I think, for Americans to understand Is if we attack Iran on the basis of Hezbollah's alleged willingness to attack Israel, if Israel invades Gaza, we will end up in a fight with Russia.
	Russia will not sit by quietly and watch Iran destroyed by the United States air and naval power in the region.
	And once Russia enters this, it becomes much more than just a local conflict, maybe more than just a regional war.
	We haven't thought this through.
	We need to do that.
	And I doubt seriously at that point that the Turks would be able to stay out.
	The Turks are Sunni Muslims.
	They are the de facto leaders of the Sunni Muslim world.
	They have the largest armed forces in the region.
	They are in close proximity to Israel.
	They could move forces south through Syria very rapidly.
	And I'm sure Bashar al-Assad, assuming he even survives the opening of this campaign, would not obstruct them.
	That Colonel McGregor mentioned that Hezbollah has a very large operation in Mexico.
	This is really critical for all of us to understand.
	Because Hezbollah has a presence in Mexico, it means that the more the United States is involved in backing Israel in the assault on Gaza, the more likely Hezbollah or related forces are going to wage terrorism attacks in the United States.
	And later on in this interview, McGregor talks about that very point.
	And also the FBI has put out a warning saying that Hezbollah or Hamas-linked groups are expected to wage more terrorist types of activities or attacks across the United States.
	Again, it's a rerun of 2001 and 2002 and 2003 all over again, even all the exact same language.
	They're saying that the October 7th attack on Israel was like 10 9-11s.
	And they pulled out the script that says hate all Muslims and all Muslims are terrorists and we're going to surveil the mosques again.
	It's a blueprint, all right?
	And this is what's being run again.
	But the fact that it's a blueprint doesn't take away from the fact that there are radical extremist terrorist groups that probably will set off bombs in America.
	And McGregor realizes that.
	I realize that.
	Hamas is a terrorist organization.
	There's no question about that.
	What they committed against Israel were outrageous acts of terrorism and slaughter.
	And again, the more the U.S. backs Israel, the more they're going to take their terrorism to the United States and start probably bombing civilian targets in the U.S. So we need to be prepared for that possibility.
	Now, oh, by the way, as a side note, something that's just been happening.
	E-commerce sales in almost all categories...
	Except ammunition, which we'll talk about in a second.
	Across the board, e-commerce sales have plunged about 25% in one month, in just the last month.
	25%.
	There are two things that are happening, and this is information from the largest e-commerce hosting platform called Shopify.
	So Shopify gives kind of analysis of ups and downs and things like that.
	Again, about a 25% drop in e-commerce activity in one month.
	And that's because, number one, online shoppers have hit debt limits in many cases or run out of money.
	But secondly, and I think this is the more important point, People are preoccupied now by what's happening with Israel and the potential for war in the Middle East.
	As a result, their discretionary purchases have massively shifted away from non-necessities and into absolute necessities, which include ammunition and firearms.
	So let me mention this.
	Yesterday I went out and bought some more ammunition from a site where I purchase ammo whenever I need it.
	And I noticed that I am now seeing more limits, quantity limits, on ammunition purchases than I have ever seen before.
	And I saw it on almost everything.
	You know, limit 5, limit 3.
	Some were more like limit 10, but I saw a lot of limit 3s and limit 5s, which, you know, typically we wouldn't see those limits.
	So I can tell you, just from looking at that, there is a supply chain problem on the ammunition side.
	And remember that ammunition plant exploded in the United States.
	I forgot what state it was in, but there was a big ammo manufacturer that blew up a week ago, two weeks ago.
	So the supply chains are getting cut.
	That was probably an act of sabotage, you know, just like the food infrastructure and so on.
	Other manufacturers are getting hit with sabotage attacks.
	But also, there's heightened demand right now.
	And I read an article, I don't have a link, but I read an article that said, now across America, more Jews are buying guns than ever before.
	And I say, it's about damn time.
	Because you should all be members of the JPFO, by the way.
	That's Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.
	That's a group that I have supported for many, many years.
	And at one point, I even interviewed the founder.
	It was many, many years ago.
	I should probably try to set up another interview.
	But the JPFO, their mindset is never again.
	And the way we're going to be sure never again is that we're all going to arm up and exercise our Second Amendment rights as Jews.
	And it makes perfect sense.
	In fact, I'm probably one of the few people on record to have encouraged all law-abiding citizens in the United States to arm up black groups, for example.
	If you're a black man living in America...
	And you are maybe subject to, you know, crime or maybe even racially motivated crime.
	You should arm up, in my opinion.
	You know, keep it legal, obviously.
	I'm talking about legal and lawful and get good training and understand safety and so on.
	Keep the guns away from children and things like that.
	Common sense things.
	But every group should arm up.
	I'm one of the few people who has called for black men in America to own guns and now also for Jews to own guns and also, by the way, LGBTs.
	To arm up and own guns.
	And you're like, why?
	Why would you call for LGBT to arm up?
	Because I believe in universal gun rights.
	That's why.
	People are so amazed lately.
	Like, wow, Mike Adams actually has, like, universal values and he doesn't budge on them.
	That's wild.
	Yeah, I don't.
	I believe that everybody has the right to self-defense.
	And I've heard a lot of people in the media saying lately that Israel has the right to defend itself, and yet I don't hear very many people saying that black people have a right to defend themselves, or that Jews have the right to arm up.
	Or that, you know, transgenders have the right to carry firearms, if legal and lawful, in their self-defense.
	And see, I believe in self-defense for everybody.
	See?
	And this is what blows everybody's minds.
	It's so confusing.
	It's like you're not on one side or the other.
	You believe in rights for everyone.
	It's so confusing.
	Well, so be it.
	Because I believe that committing violence against all those groups is wrong.
	That if somebody tries to commit violence against a black family, they should be stopped.
	If somebody tries to commit violence against a Jewish family, they should be stopped.
	If somebody tries to commit violence against transgenders, they should be stopped.
	Or a gay couple, they should be stopped.
	I'm all about stopping violence.
	And there's a really effective way to do that in the United States of America.
	It's called the Second Amendment.
	And you can pick and choose how many rounds you want to carry and what size rounds you want to carry and whatever.
	Anyway, that's my philosophy on that.
	It is another universal philosophy.
	I think that nations have the right to defend themselves and also individuals have the right to defend themselves.
	And personally, I'm I'm currently carrying a Glock 43X. That's with 9mm rounds.
	But I can get to my rifle with 5.56 rounds.
	And then if that one runs out, I can get to my HK rifle with.308 or 7.62x51 rounds, whatever.
	You can choose what kind of rounds you want to defend yourself with.
	And I believe that Jews have every right to defend themselves.
	In fact, in those neighborhoods on October 7th when Hamas was going after the civilians, There were some like military Israelis.
	Who had their, I don't know, Tavors or whatever they were armed with on that day.
	They had their rifles ready in the, what are they called, the kibbutz area, like the neighborhoods outside of Gaza.
	And some of those dudes armed up and they took out some Hamas fighters right there.
	There's some videos of that.
	So that was a Second Amendment type of exercise of self-defense rights.
	And I fully support Second Amendment rights for every group.
	Well, I should say every law-abiding citizen.
	I don't support Second Amendment rights for non-citizens, just to be clear.
	I support deporting non-citizens and letting them, you know, hey, if you want to be an immigrant, go through the legal process.
	I'm cool with that.
	But don't just walk across the border with all your weapons and your drugs and your human trafficking operations.
	That's not okay.
	Unfortunately, that has happened to the extent where we now have an unknown number of Middle Eastern terrorists in the United States, as I have extensively covered here on this broadcast.
	Oh, by the way, I'm going to be interviewing Michael Yan later this week.
	We'll probably run that interview on Friday, I believe, is what we're going to do.
	Yeah.
	Now, as much as I support Second Amendment rights...
	I disagree with the concept of collective punishment, and most Americans are with me on this very point, which is why more and more people have a big issue with the increasing number of civilian casualties in Gaza, including 2,000 children at this point.
	And 5,000 plus total adults.
	Now, Douglas McGregor sounds off on this very issue.
	So let me play about a minute of Douglas McGregor talking about this.
	...collective punishment.
	I would encourage Americans everywhere to listen to King Abdullah of Jordan's speech in Cairo just a couple of days ago, where he made it clear that he agreed with the abhorrence of what had happened in Israel.
	And...
	It loathes Hamas for its barbarity and savagery.
	But he also goes on to point out that collective punishment meted out to two million people is unacceptable, both under international law and for humanitarian reasons.
	That's the problem.
	And as Americans see more destruction and more and more film footage and photographs come out of Gaza showing children, women, old men dying, being killed, The support for Israel is going to erode.
	And at the same time, the anger and hatred inside the region, which already dislikes Israel, is going to be phenomenal.
	So Israel is doing something that I think no one has ever accomplished, at least not in my lifetime, and that is uniting Sunni and Shia against itself.
	That's why I think we have an obligation to save Israel from itself.
	But that's not a popular position.
	Right now, it's bombs away and everyone is cheering.
	So you see what he said there?
	Key points.
	Number one, he says that we have an obligation to save Israel from itself.
	See?
	I mean, some pretty harsh words.
	What McGregor is saying there essentially is that Israel is, out of its rage and reaction, it is leading itself down a path of its own destruction.
	And that if cooler heads don't step in and say, wait a second, rethink where this is going, then Israel may end up destroying itself.
	That's essentially what McGregor just said, which is exactly the same as what I've been warning about here.
	And I've also tried to point out, by the way, that calling for peace is actually the pro-Israel position.
	Which, again, Colonel McGregor just elucidated.
	Calling for peace is the pro-Semitic position.
	Calling for war is anti-Semitic because calling for war will get more Jews killed and will likely lead to the destruction of Israel via mechanisms that Colonel McGregor just described, by the way.
	Another thing he said there, again, sounds exactly like what I've been saying.
	I said that Israel has managed to unite the Arab world in ways that nobody ever thought possible.
	And there you go, Douglas McGregor saying almost exactly the same thing.
	Now again, we have independently arrived at this same conclusion, but it is remarkable that Israel has, through its bombardment of Gaza, it has pushed Arab nations to set aside their typical differences.
	Where even you're going to have Saudi Arabian Muslims and Iranians sitting at the same table and getting along and maybe even cooperating, which was unthinkable, two months ago.
	I mean, you probably have like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
	Welcome Shiites and Sunnis to the cooperation buffet.
	I mean, that's how crazy it's going to be.
	Normally, these two would not sit at the same table.
	Another important thing that McGregor just said there is that the longer this goes on in terms of Israel attacking Gaza, which is right now aerial bombardment, but will soon, at least it seems evident, it will soon involve a ground assault which will involve troops and tanks and other equipment right there on the streets in northern Gaza.
	But the longer this goes on, The more the world is going to turn against Israel, as McGregor says, Israel's support will erode as the casualty count goes up, as there are more photos and videos of the dead bodies,
	the dead civilians, the women and the children in particular, that this is going to not only erode Israeli support among the Western countries that currently support Israel, but it will further enrage the Arab world.
	Which is already very, very angry for historical reasons.
	And that could then, that could be the tipping point for nations like Iran and Turkey and possibly even Syria.
	And certainly for Hezbollah to get involved in ways that cause an escalation of this entire scenario.
	Now, and then finally, I want to play one more clip for you from Douglas McGregor again.
	He was on fire.
	This is the best interview he's ever done that I've ever seen.
	And I've watched many, many hours of his interviews.
	This is the best he's ever done.
	He really can explain these concepts in a hard-hitting way That is compact and efficient in his choice of words.
	But listen to this next segment.
	It's a little over two minutes, and then I'll comment on that.
	This is must listen.
	Well, in our effort to stand at Israel's side and help protect Israel, we have taken a different route and cast moral turpitude to the side.
	In other words, how do you help one without committing a war crime against the other?
	This is the problem with Collective punishment.
	This is the problem with annihilating Gaza and trying to sweep out its population.
	That's unacceptable to us as Americans.
	I don't think if you sat down any of Israel's most ardent supporters in the United States and said, are you willing to trade the lives of several hundred thousand people in Gaza for the lives taken in Israel by Hamas?
	After all, Hamas and Palestinian Jihad were the fighters.
	They lost 1,500.
	There were 3,000 involved in the several waves of the attack.
	They're dead.
	Now we're looking at perhaps 5,000 civilians dead.
	How many more will we witness?
	Is that somehow or another justified morally?
	And I think a lot of Americans will struggle with that.
	That's why I say it would be best if we had a cooling off period.
	I'm glad that the Israelis are waiting for additional naval power to arrive on station in the Mediterranean and also for additional equipment, theater ballistic missile defense and so forth.
	But we need to use this time to think carefully about how far we want to go.
	Because right now, it's a one-way street to regional war.
	And I don't think anybody really wants that if they think about it carefully.
	Therefore, you know, looking at someone like Erdogan, however slippery we may consider him to be, His willingness to mediate is a bright light in an otherwise very dark sky, and we should look to that because we don't want the regional war.
	It will destroy us economically.
	We're already in bad shape.
	We've already suffered because of the foolish intervention in Ukraine to try to destroy Russia.
	Now we have Russia more powerful militarily than it's been since the 80s, and it's poised to enter on the side of Iran.
	We should all give that some serious thought.
	Okay.
	Wow.
	I love the way that Colonel McGregor can say...
	He can say the same things that I say, but he can say it in a way that doesn't piss off as many people.
	That's probably all his years of experience in the military, trying to not piss off his commanders and so on, but telling them how insane they are.
	That's my guess.
	He's got a way of speaking...
	Welcome to my show!
	Although that may change by the time you hear this, like I said.
	But the fact that there have been many days in order for hostages to be released, in some cases, for some humanitarian aid supplies, you know, 20 trucks or so, so far, to reach southern Gazans with, you know, water and some fuel for generators to fuel the hospitals in particular.
	By the way, did you know that there are babies in incubators in hospitals in Gaza that are going to die if they don't get some energy?
	And I know that almost harkens back to the incubator story from Desert Storm.
	But in this case, it is a very real thing.
	Hospitals need energy in order to keep people alive.
	Sometimes it's newborns.
	But the other thing that Colonel McGregor said there is that the current path is a one-way street to regional war and that Russia is now more powerful militarily than they have been since the 1980s and that Russia is poised to enter this conflict on the side of Iran.
	And then I think he says that should give us pause.
	He's exactly right.
	That should give any rational actor pause, even, you know, Victoria Nuland, Anthony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, whoever's calling the shots.
	They should all pause and think, what are we about to do?
	What is about to happen here?
	Because, you know, Joe Biden's speech the other day, a couple days ago when he addressed the nation and he said that America is the nation holding the world together.
	And, you know, we almost died laughing from that because America is the nation that's tearing the world apart, actually.
	But almost everything in that speech by Joe Biden sounded like it was written in 1993.
	It was all the common, you know, the propaganda narratives and messages from the 1990s and the first Gulf War and Desert Storm.
	That's what it all sounded like.
	It's as if whoever's writing Biden's speeches or whatever body double is performing them at the moment, which is also funny.
	Dude, your ears change more often than, you know, children trying on Halloween costumes.
	It's crazy.
	But Whoever wrote that speech thinks we're living in 1994 or whatever.
	They think we're living in a world where we're going to fight Iraq in the 1990s where Iraq is weak and disorganized, doesn't have much training.
	They think America is the essential power of Of the world and that no one can survive without America and that America can dictate the terms of every engagement and that America can have absolute air superiority all over every battlefield and that no one can resist the might of the mighty United States military and the well-funded Pentagon and so on and so forth.
	And it was like, man, I mean, I know Joe Biden is old, but that really dated him right there.
	Because so much has changed since the early 1990s in Desert Storm, which is what Colonel McGregor is really speaking about.
	So much has changed to the point where today, Iran, I mean, let's start with Iran.
	Iran has some of the best engineers in the world, many of them Western-educated.
	No one of right mind has ever accused the Iranian people of being low IQ. They are not.
	They're some of the most brilliant, I mean historically, some of the most brilliant mathematicians and physicists and chemists in history.
	In case you don't know your history, I mean if you just scroll through the National Library of Medicine and PubMed and all the science journals, a shockingly large number of those names are Iranian.
	That's because they're not stupid people.
	They're very capable engineers.
	And they have been engineering over the last several decades, especially with all the billions of dollars that Barack Obama gave them.
	And Joe Biden, here's another six billion in case you ran out of cash.
	They've been engineering nuclear weapons, hypersonic missiles, precision-targeted medium-range missile systems and ballistic missiles, all kinds of weapons systems, to the point where today Iran can, by itself, level Tel Aviv, just by itself.
	That doesn't even mention Hezbollah.
	Iran, no doubt, has nuclear weapons.
	And probably Iran has, at least Steve Quayle told me this, as you saw yesterday, that Iran has nuclear warheads mounted on its missile delivery systems, which means that Iran can probably nuke Israel.
	Oh, and by the way, I'm not the only one who says that Israel will probably be the first to use nuclear weapons.
	I've seen that analysis now in several other places.
	A lot of people agree with me that Israel is currently the least cool-headed because of the emotional reaction state of the atrocities that were carried out by Hamas.
	This has caused Israel to react in a very non-rational way, which perhaps at some human level is understandable.
	But at a strategic level, it actually puts Israel at a steep disadvantage.
	It means the nation is likely to overreact in ways that ultimately harm it.
	And one of those ways is being the first to use nuclear weapons.
	It could be a nuclear artillery round.
	That's my prediction.
	That's the most likely, relatively small yield.
	Nuclear artillery rounds, I'm just going off memory here, but I believe they are still in the range of, let's say, 10 kilotons.
	Now, remember, Hiroshima was roughly 15 kilotons.
	So, you know, one round of artillery...
	It's like Hiroshima, or two-thirds of Hiroshima, let's say.
	And if I'm wrong about those numbers, maybe it's only five kilotons.
	Maybe it's only two.
	But, you know, even these relatively small rounds, they're nuclear.
	They produce fallout, and they would send a message of escalation to the whole world that would likely send leaders in Iran to their bunkers to start plugging away on the launch buttons on their nuclear missiles.
	It's kind of like, hey, if you're going to open up the Pandora's box of nuclear weapons, Israel, then Iran is going to say, well, say hello to my little friend.
	He's going to pull it out.
	We got nukes too.
	And Iran, again, is not a country to be messed with lightly.
	And then there's Russia.
	You know, probably since the whole Russia-Ukraine war has been taking place, or as Russia calls it, special military operation.
	We've all become a lot more familiar with Russian weaponry than we ever might have imagined.
	So you probably know that Russia, of course, has the Kinzhal hypersonic missile systems, which are launched from...
	I believe they're launched from the SU-24 fighters, but I'd have to double-check that.
	I think they're launched from air, and they have a range of at least 1,000 kilometers, and they can carry nuclear warheads.
	I don't know what the yield is on those, but you can probably look that up on Jane's Defense or wherever you want to go.
	The point is, Russia, we know, has hypersonic missiles.
	They've launched them at targets in Ukraine.
	Russia, we know, has nuclear weapons.
	That's been known, you know, for decades.
	And Russia can easily be drawn into this war because Russia and Iran are allies, obviously.
	And Iran buys a lot of things from Russia, including, by the way, agricultural products.
	You know, energy products, believe it or not, even though Iran produces a lot of its own energy, there's still a lot of trade between the two countries in sectors like machinery and medicine, technology, aerospace, communications, energy, I already said that, and so much more, consumer goods, you know, you name it.
	So Russia doesn't want to see Iran blown away by Israel, which means that if Israel starts throwing nukes around, Russia is probably going to get involved.
	And guess what their first target is going to be?
	U.S. aircraft carriers, Kinzhal missiles.
	And then you're going to see things really go ballistic.
	And that gets to the last point of what Douglas McGregor just said there.
	The economic consequences will be devastating to the West if, Now, I detailed this yesterday in my 22 Points podcast.
	If you missed that, you can catch it on brighttown.com.
	The economic consequences will be so devastating, I believe they would lead to the end of the dollar and a default on Treasury debt and the end of the United States government as we know it.
	That's how bad this could get.
	And there is a plausible chain reaction of events that leads to that.
	And I covered it yesterday in detail, so I'm not going to go through it all again.
	But it comes down to energy.
	If you don't have energy at affordable prices, then all hell breaks loose across the Western world in the finance sectors, which affects civil unrest and food and famine and chaos and political chaos and then martial law and all that.
	It's a series of events.
	And those series of events begin with Israel attacking Gaza and then other regional players getting involved in the war, including Iran.
	So again, pray with me that we can deescalate all of this, even though I know that ultimately the ending of the dollar will be a positive thing for humanity.
	I don't want to live through all the suffering.
	I don't want to see people suffer.
	I don't want to see starvation.
	I don't want to live through it either because it'll be hell, like Ed Dowd says.
	It's going to be warlords ruling the cities because all the rule of law will be gone.
	So I don't wish this collapse upon anybody.
	That's why I'm trying to say stop with the war.
	Stop the bombing.
	Stop the escalation.
	Everybody.
	Hamas, stop launching rockets.
	Hezbollah, stop launching rockets.
	Everybody stop.
	Cease fire, for God's sake.
	Wave some ceasefire flags around.
	Can we sit and talk about this?
	Is that even possible?
	And it seems like, so far, as Colonel McGregor said, so far the answer is no.
	Nobody wants to sit down and talk.
	Nobody's even willing to talk.
	And you hear this from Israel's side as well, which is why I've been very critical of Israel in the past couple of weeks, because Israel, for the most part, you see the military leaders and Netanyahu, just like, just wipe them all out, carpet bomb, you know, turn it into a tent city, you know, kill them all.
	Which is a shame because we need both sides to be willing to sit down in order to have diplomacy.
	And of course, Hamas is not willing to sit down either.
	In fact, you know who's been running the negotiations for the hostages?
	Qatar.
	Or some people pronounce it Qatar.
	And I don't know exactly which people or which officials out of Qatar are managing.
	I mean, who's got both Hamas leaders and the IDF in your cell phone contacts?
	Like, you could call up Hamas and you could call up the leaders of the IDF and you could negotiate.
	Like, who's got those contacts in their cell phone?
	I want to know.
	That must be a very, very high-value person who's got those kind of contacts.
	I was like, yeah, I'm just going to call up Hamas here and tell them to release some hostages.
	Dude, I don't know how you have that contact, but please try to use it for peace, you know?
	And I will say on the bright side of this, I have seen things beginning to turn.
	I kind of mentioned this up front.
	Today was a turning point day.
	I'm seeing more and more people kind of like come to their senses and say, wait a second.
	We don't want to die in a war.
	Wait a second.
	We don't want to have total economic destruction of the West.
	This is why I have the title today.
	You know, the choice.
	We have a choice.
	And this is important to understand.
	For those of you who are thinking that, you know, the Bible tells us that this is the end times.
	This is it.
	This is the way it's going to go down.
	I'm telling you, you don't know for sure that this is that.
	The book of Revelation might be referring to some other time.
	It could be 500 years of the future, for all we know.
	I mean, there are arguments to be made that things are happening right now, but what if this is not the right time?
	What if we could make a choice?
	Because God gives us consciousness.
	God gives us free will.
	It's one of the most common arguments about God and being human and life.
	And, you know, the argument is, well, how come God doesn't stop all evil?
	And the answer is because God gives us free will.
	Why does God give us free will?
	Well, because if we didn't have free will, we wouldn't have to choose to love him.
	We wouldn't have to choose morality.
	If we didn't have free will, then it wouldn't matter what we did because there would be No conscious impetus behind it.
	We would just be a bunch of robots, like God robots, like wind-up toys for God.
	And that's not what we are.
	We are conscious beings, and we have the ability to make a choice.
	All of us on this planet right now, we can choose.
	We can demand peace.
	We can demand de-escalation.
	And I invite you to join me in doing this.
	We can demand to take a path that leads us away from regional war and nuclear war and economic destruction and mass starvation.
	We can choose this, even though right now the powers that be are choosing war.
	If they choose war and they don't de-escalate, we all suffer and many of us die.
	We all suffer.
	The whole world suffers, but the Western world in particular will suffer.
	I was listening to the Duran, and Alexander Mercurius made a really good point on this.
	I think he was asked by Alex Cristoforo, when will this end?
	And Alexander said, this will end when the West gets a bloody nose.
	This is not going to end just from talk, probably, because the neocons want war.
	They want war, war, war, war, war, kill, kill, kill, all of that.
	That's what you're hearing right now.
	The only way it's going to end is a bloody nose.
	What's a bloody nose?
	Maybe losing an aircraft carrier.
	That would be a bloody nose.
	That would be more like a bloody stump where your hand used to be.
	That's a major loss.
	A bloody nose means some kind of military defeat Of Israeli or American assets in the region that might cause the West to rethink, like, what am I doing here?
	And I've described this, by the way, in self-defense shooting scenarios in which, you know, me personally, I've had extensive amount of training in such scenarios and so on.
	But I remember one of my instructors one time told me, like...
	Your job...
	Why do you shoot someone in self-defense?
	Is it to kill them?
	The answer is no.
	You're not shooting to kill.
	You're shooting to stop the threat.
	That's the only reason you shoot.
	Even a police officer is trained in the same way.
	You shoot to stop the threat.
	If it happens to kill them, well, that's biology.
	But you're not shooting to kill.
	You're not shooting out of a desire to kill.
	You're shooting out of a desire to stop a threat.
	But psychologically...
	You're also shooting to make someone rethink, like, how did I end up here?
	Like, what am I doing here getting shot at?
	Why are there bullets whizzing beside me and possibly through me?
	You know, it's a recalibration of reality.
	It's like if you're a bad guy and you're thinking, hey, I'm going to go out and steal, you know, catalytic converters from people's cars and trucks today.
	And then, you know, you roll up and you're underneath somebody's car with your power tools and you're trying to take the catalytic converter off.
	And then all of a sudden, like AR-15 rounds start plowing through your legs or whatever.
	Kaplow, kaplow, kaplow.
	And you start to take shots, and you're going to be thinking, hey, why did I think that stealing somebody's catalytic converter was an awesome idea?
	What am I doing underneath this vehicle?
	This is a bad place to be.
	What am I doing here?
	That's what a self-defense shooting is also designed to achieve.
	If you don't stop the threat, you at least make the threat reconsider.
	What were my decisions that led to this moment and how could I maybe choose a different path?
	That is what Alexander was talking about with America and Israel.
	Because America and Israel are right now about, they're on the verge of making decisions that they probably do not understand.
	There's no doubt they do not understand them.
	As Colonel McGregor said, they do not understand the repercussions.
	They misjudge the readiness of Iran and Russia and Syria and possibly Turkey and certainly Hezbollah and other forces in Lebanon.
	Maybe Egypt's position and so on.
	The West is misjudging, miscalculating, and sometimes a series of events is necessary for those forces to recalibrate and think, what are we doing here?
	And so every time there is a bloody nose, to use the metaphor...
	It's an opportunity for the parties involved to recalibrate their response and to say, wait a second.
	Maybe we should negotiate.
	Maybe we should bring in the diplomats.
	Maybe we should have a ceasefire.
	Maybe we could de-escalate this, right?
	But right now that's not going to happen until there are significant probably losses or casualties on the side of Israel and the United States.
	And make no mistake that if Israel moves on Gaza and assaults it with personnel, And tanks and whatever else, equipment.
	I mean, man, those tanks are going to be so vulnerable in that.
	If I were a tank commander, the last place I would want to drive that tank is into Gaza.
	Let me tell you, it's almost a suicide mission.
	I'd rather drive a tank off Niagara Falls than drive it into Gaza.
	Let me tell you, at least you have a chance of surviving Niagara Falls.
	But anyway, they're going to roll in there with tanks and soldiers and they're going to take significant casualties simply because of, well, the terrain advantages that Hamas possesses, the rubble, the tunnels, and of course familiarity with where they are and what they're doing there.
	And also the tunnel systems, they nullify Israel's artillery.
	They nullify, for the most part, Tanks.
	And if you've got enough tunnel systems and, you know, you've got the whole tunnel network mapped out, you pop up behind a tank, fire RPG, and then go back down into your tunnels.
	I mean, probably Israel is going to drop chemical weapons into those tunnels.
	The most likely thing they're going to do.
	Sarin gas falls with gravity, by the way.
	And they're probably going to blame Hamas, I would imagine.
	That's why you're seeing stories about chemical weapons suddenly in the press, because Israel's probably going to use chemical weapons to root out Hamas from their underground tunnels, which, you know, in a time of war, if you're going after the enemy combatants and the terrorists in their tunnels...
	And you're not just bombing the crap out of civilians.
	It's fair game to go after the tunnels.
	It's fair game.
	You can drop grenades down there.
	You can drop...
	They're probably going to drop chemical weapons, like I said.
	That's probably what's coming.
	By the way, the video footage that I've seen of these underground tunnels shows that they are very structurally sound.
	They look like they're made out of preformed concrete arches.
	with some concrete side panels and the fact that they're so narrow you know one person can walk through it you know two people not side by side but they could pass each other but they couldn't really walk side by side there's not it's not even that wide it's probably I don't know it's maybe 30 inches wide which means that the arch that holds back you know the soil from above that arch It's only
	30 inches wide, so it gives it a lot of structural strength if it's made out of reinforced concrete with rebar in it.
	And rebar is easy to come by.
	And concrete's easy to come by because there's construction operations in that city, and there's no way for Israel to stop all the construction activities.
	And so they've probably been making tunnels for decades.
	A decade or longer.
	And these tunnels are basically impossible to destroy from bombardment.
	The only way to clear out these tunnels is to go in them.
	And that's something the IDF is not prepared for, I would imagine.
	So that's why there are going to be casualties and losses.
	And as McGregor says, Israel's support is going to erode on this by the day.
	So things, of course, are very dicey at the moment, not looking good.
	What I do when I want to put a smile on my face, what I do is I just look up a video called The Best of Leon, which is, of course, it's a compilation from Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry David, featuring the character known as Leon, I think Leon Black, played by comedian-actor J.B. Smoove.
	And J.B. Smoove, there's a lot of profanity, just warning you.
	I mean, it's pretty much about 70% profanity.
	But J.B. Smoove is absolutely brilliant and one of the funniest guys that's ever been in any kind of comedy series.
	And he ad-libbed a lot of what you see.
	So anyway, look up the video of J.B. Smoove called The Best of Leon from Curb Your Enthusiasm and give that a listen.
	If you want to get away from war for a little while, listen to J.B. Smoove's logic about the world.
	That'll put a smile on your face.
	You might hurt from the laughter.
	You got long-ass balls.
	I've got long balls.
	Doctor, you've seen his balls, right?
	Would you say my balls were unusually long?
	They're a bit more distended than the average testicles.
	You got long-ass balls, Larry.
	Long ball, Larry.
	I was adopted by some lovely Jews.
	And you were bar mitzvahed?
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Three times.
	The last time was a few months ago in Atlantic City.
	Yeah, but I thought you only got bar mitzvahed once, you know, when you're 13 years old.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	You misunderstood.
	What?
	It's once every 13 years.
	You know?
	You've got to recharge the mitzvah.
	So you always keep your mitzvah kind of full.
	A capacity.
	A mitzvah capacity.
	Well, by the way, there's a website called AmmoPricesNow.com that tracks the price action of ammunition over time like the price of gold.
	And in the last week, it's up 36% or so.
	39%, something like that.
	It has gone up for 5.56 rounds, which is your typical AR-15 round.
	It's gone up from 36 cents to now an average of, what is that?
	50 cents.
	There you go.
	Wow.
	That's a lot of price action.
	And that's all because of what's happening in the Middle East.
	Now, interestingly, 9mm ammo has not moved nearly that much, and there's a tip I'll share with you when it comes to ammunition and rifle choices and so on.
	Turns out, the bigger your gun, the less susceptible your ammo is to price increases.
	In fact, if you go to.308 Winchester, Which is a 7.62x51mm round, typically, or sometimes called 308 NATO, or 7.62 NATO, I guess, technically.
	That price has not changed at all.
	So, get yourself a semi-auto 308, which I have one of those in the HK brand, which I absolutely love.
	And I recently picked up one of those in the Sig Sauer MCX format, which I believe is called the Shield, although I don't have that one up and running yet.
	And if you want to go with something even larger, 6.5mm Creedmoor is a favorite of target shooters.
	And those prices have stayed low.
	Very stable for quite a long time, and they're about 81 cents a round.
	But it's got much more range than a typical 5.56 round.
	And I'm looking at this site.
	Let's see.
	They're not...
	Unfortunately, they don't track a 300 Win Mag or Winchester Magnum because those rounds haven't budged at all.
	And a 300 Win Mag is a long-range hunting round.
	And I've trained with that round on long-range targets, you know, easily 1,000 yards plus is possible with that, you know, with that round.
	And then, of course, there's.338 Lapua Magnum, which I don't see on here either.
	But those can often be, you know, $6 or $7 a round.
	So not exactly affordable.
	But anyway, if you're looking for ammunition, the best time to have bought it would have been before October 7th.
	Just saying.
	Alright, I've got a featured interview coming up for you today.
	I had delayed this interview because of the Israel situation.
	So this interview was actually filmed almost two weeks ago.
	But it's with Dr.
	Elizabeth Lee Vliet.
	And it's actually a timeless interview.
	I think you'll really enjoy it.
	I apologize to Dr.
	Vliet and others for the delays.
	I've got some other interviews I've delayed as well.
	But we're trying to get them out.
	On a timely basis, given the insanity of the situation in the world right now.
	So enjoy that interview coming up.
	And in terms of getting prepared yourself, don't forget about our long-term storable food supplies, healthrangerstore.com.
	And also, well, you know, we've got the Ranger buckets and many other items, the number 10 cans with freeze-dried fruit.
	Although we're almost out of blueberries at the moment.
	That's too bad because I was trying to buy some extra blueberries.
	And my staff told me, you're not allowed to buy them because we're almost out.
	And there's an unstated rule.
	Maybe I've never shared this with you, but if inventory is low, I'm not allowed to buy my own product because it goes to you first, like literally.
	I don't – because we have complex inventory tracking systems and e-commerce systems all – It's all interlaced with inventory and raw materials and so on.
	I don't get free stuff from my store.
	I can't just go in and just take products off the shelf.
	It does not work that way.
	The only time I get free stuff is when something's damaged.
	I do get damaged stuff like a forklift drove into some bags of organic pinto beans or whatever.
	Yeah, I get those beans.
	Because I'm essentially giving them to animals typically.
	Depending on what it is, it might be quinoa or oats or whatever.
	I'm feeding it to animals because FDA says we can't sell it for customers because a forklift drove through it.
	But it's perfectly good for donkeys.
	Anyway, I don't get free stuff.
	I buy the stuff from my own store and I'm not allowed to buy it if inventory is low.
	So the only time I'm going to get more blueberries is when we have a couple thousand cans in stock, which is more and more difficult to achieve right now.
	There's a lot of shortages out there.
	We're currently waiting on some ingredients to make our organic macaroni and cheese instant meal product, which I've been working on for a long time.
	And we're waiting on, I think, the organic powdered butter right now, which is hard to get.
	The organic powdered cream is on the way.
	And there's some whey protein in that formula as well, believe it or not.
	It's also organic and lab tested and all that.
	And we're waiting for the butter.
	Oh, also, this week, it's really exciting.
	We're getting some more progress nailed down for the dioxin equipment at the lab.
	So we're going to be able to test for dioxins pretty soon.
	But we're actually taking steps this week When it's all done, I'll shoot a video for you.
	I'll show you how it all works and everything, but we're getting some equipment configuration and setup and things achieved this week.
	So, like I said earlier, maybe by the end of this year, we'll be able to start running off-the-shelf samples for dioxins.
	I can't wait to do that.
	Also, thank you for supporting our sponsors, Satellite Phone Store, which runs beready123.com.
	It has the backup solar generators and solar panels, everything for preparedness, beready123.com.
	And of course, our precious metals sponsor, metalswithmike.com.
	That's the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
	And a lot of people are suddenly interested in silver and gold again after there was quite a lull in the demand over the summer.
	But of course, everybody's looking at what's about to happen in the Middle East.
	And if Israel goes into Gaza, you know, who knows where gold and silver and oil are all going to go.
	And then we're going to end up with major food shortages throughout 2024 and major inflation, dollar devaluation.
	Everything's ugly.
	Honestly, if this war is not de-escalated, The year 2024 is not a year that I even want to be in business, frankly.
	We will be in business because we've prepared for this.
	We've taken steps for this.
	We're going to be providing essential food and supplies to people to help save lives and keep people fed, keep people healthy as best we can.
	But I do not want to operate.
	If I had a choice, I do not want to operate in the middle of World War III. That's for sure.
	I would rather...
	You know, sit in my bunker with my AR-15 and a Rubik's Cube.
	But as circumstances would have it, I have an obligation to continue to function and get supplies out to people as best I can.
	So that's what we're going to do.
	And we are resilient.
	We are redundant.
	We were built for this.
	We were built for World War to make it through this and to keep doing what we do.
	So I'm here for the long haul, no matter what happens.
	And I appreciate your support.
	I know you're ready for this as well.
	But please join me in calling for peace.
	It is a choice that we can make.
	We can make it individually, but we can make it as nations and as a world.
	We could choose peace.
	We could choose trade.
	We could choose to not kill each other.
	And everybody would benefit.
	That's always a choice we have available.
	The question is, what choice will our national leaders make right now?
	And at the moment, they're choosing war and suffering and death.
	And that is not good.
	Not good for any of us.
	All right.
	So here we go.
	Enjoy the interview with Dr.
	Elizabeth Lee Vliet, MD. Thank you for listening.
	Talk with you tomorrow.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and today we're joined by a first-time guest, a woman who is doing extraordinary work as part of her nonprofit as well, and she joins us today.
	Dr.
	Lee Vliet joins the show to talk about, well, depopulation, vaccines, 5G, and so much more.
	Welcome, Dr.
	Vliet.
	It's an honor to have you on today.
	Thanks so much, Mike.
	It's really an honor to be on your show.
	As I said, I've followed your work for a long time.
	And actually, I love your work with nutrition.
	I started adding that in medical practice in 1985 and have been growing the integrative work, integrative medicine, long before that name became popular.
	Yeah.
	The other thing that is unique, my medical practice, which is still ongoing, and I was treating a lot of COVID patients, but my medical practice has been independent of big medicine, big pharma, big insurance for the whole time.
	I resigned from all insurance contracts in 1986, one year after I started COVID. Because they were making me choose between the patient and what was right for the patient and what the insurance company wanted done.
	And I just said, no, not on my watch.
	That's not the oath I took.
	Good for you.
	Yeah, well, as you know today, it's not really practicing medicine anymore.
	It's just obedience to either government dictates or insurance company dictates.
	Absolutely.
	And if you stray outside the lines, they can indict you for criminal charges.
	Oh, it's outrageous.
	You know, even as a young doctor just starting out, I often spoke up in the medical meetings at the time and I said, if you sign these contracts, you're selling your soul to the devil because you cannot answer to masters.
	And that's exactly the corporatization of medicine over my career has had devastating effects on patients and it costs many lives.
	Actually, Mike, I started really speaking out nationally on this and In the late 90s with the things we were seeing then.
	And that's only gotten markedly worse in the last 25 to 30 years.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	In fact, I want to start there because...
	When you were taught medicine, and I know a lot of people, I grew up with a lot of people who were doctors and went through medical school, and they were all good people.
	They had positive intentions.
	They wanted to help people.
	And there was a time when the system of medicine was really, I think, dominated by people who wanted to do good things and save lives.
	And then since COVID, we've seen now the weaponization of medicine to become a killing machine.
	A deliberate killing factory that is killing patients for profit.
	Absolutely right.
	Through the foundation, our work was early on working non-stop, seven days a week, trying to save people from the hospital homicides.
	And we did an early press conference on that in the fall of 2021 with lawyers and doctors and whistleblowers at that point.
	But that followed our Stop the Shot campaign that began when we came out strongly against the COVID shots and the damage.
	On August 4th, 2021 was our international press conference on that, before many groups were willing and many doctors were willing to go out on a limb categorically stop them.
	They are deadly and dangerous.
	Dr.
	Yeadon, Mike Yeadon, was on that first program, so was Paul Alexander, so was Dr.
	McCullough.
	There were many, many leading people who joined us to start that campaign.
	And weaponization of medicine is exactly right.
	And I have not been shy about calling out members of my own profession who gave in to the COVID death protocol.
	But Mike, what your listeners may not realize, the COVID death protocol actually...
	Evolved from the Liverpool death protocol in the United Kingdom in the 1990s where they were using the same approaches to euthanize elderly and disabled patients in the United Kingdom government-owned hospitals.
	And then in 1999 and again in 2009, Dr.
	Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who became Obama's senior White House health policy advisor and the architect of Obamacare, wrote two papers on the complete live system, which advocated doing away with the oath of Hippocrates, focus on the which advocated doing away with the oath of Hippocrates, focus on the individual and advocated for medicine to be used for the collective good and and attenuating or rationing
	His word was attenuating to cover up what he meant, but basically it was restricting and rationing medical care for those over 50 and those under 15.
	And that became the groundwork of Obamacare cutting back services for the elderly and Medicare that was devastating in the Obamacare takeover.
	And then that led to the COVID death protocols with older disabled patients being the ones to go first and denied care, food, fluids, Over-medicated with toxic remdesivir when they knew it was toxic, and over-medicated with the midazolam morphine fentanyl cocktail, which we never used in respiratory distress patients.
	I mean, it's a contraindication to give narcotics in someone with respiratory distress, but They knew what they were doing.
	They knew they were murdering patients.
	Oh, no question.
	No question.
	For example, across Texas, some of our whistleblowers in hospitals there were reporting that across Texas, and this was worse in some other states, but close to 84% of patients on ventilators, more than three days, We're dying.
	And you can't tell me they didn't know that the death rate was unacceptably high.
	We had one hospital with whistleblowers in South Carolina that their death rate across the board for COVID was over 78% of patients.
	I mean, this is horrific.
	Never in my career have we seen this kind of damage in our hospitals.
	America has traditionally had I did a lot of work traveling to different countries looking for medical resources when the Obamacare restrictions went into place.
	We were actually involved in developing a medical tourism business and we researched Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Central America, And looking for places that we could guide people to medical resources at lower cost and still top quality.
	And the only place that we really found any hospitals better than the United States was at the time in Santiago, Chile.
	No kidding.
	Yes.
	Now that's changing with the leftist government that has taken over Chile again.
	Right, but in addition to the hospital homicide that you're talking about here, then the vaccine was pushed on people.
	Yes.
	And since then, of course, by current estimates, at least 17 million people have died worldwide from the vaccines.
	Many millions, tens of millions more maimed, injured, taken out of the workforce and so on.
	The economic devastation is horrifying.
	Even my first-hand experience is I keep hearing people who suddenly they have a stroke, suddenly they have a heart attack, suddenly they have high blood pressure, and always in common they took the jab.
	Yes.
	And the jab, would you agree, or you can disagree, it's up to you, I mean you don't have to agree with anything I say, but do you believe that the jab was designed to injure or kill?
	I have no doubt that it was.
	And I can tell you categorically that the research going on 15 years before 2021 and then published 12 years before 2021 and this is in the pharmaceutical literature Dr.
	Yeadon provided me the papers because he's the one who actually found this research in some of the Obscure pharmaceutical research journals that most practicing physicians, understandably, might not see.
	But they found, and it was published, that the technology using the lipid nanoparticle coating for the mRNA, which it has to have to get through the cell membrane, damaged the ovaries and testicles In every single animal species studied.
	Now, when you damage the ovaries and testicles, you not only are impairing human reproduction for both males and females, but you're also impairing all of the organ systems but you're also impairing all of the organ systems that rely on the gonadal hormones, estrogen predominantly for women and testosterone for men as the dominant
	ones, that are involved in regulating estrogen predominantly for women and testosterone for men as the dominant ones, that are involved in regulating cellular function, cellular oxygenation, microvascular integrity, brain function, heart function, bone, muscle brain function, heart function, bone, muscle metabolism, every organ system
	It's dependent upon the optimal balance of the reproductive hormones that our bodies were designed to work with.
	And consequently, when you interfere with that, Mike Yeadon, I was in a very private meeting with three overseas doctors, Dr.
	McCullough and I, and three overseas physicians, were going over this data July 2nd, 2021.
	And at first I was kind of wondering why I'm part of this group of five.
	Because I wasn't as well known academically as that group.
	And as soon as Dr.
	Eden said this is what he had found in the pharmaceutical research, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
	I've been doing climacteric medicine for 38 years.
	I have been...
	I'm a national speaker.
	I have written books, hundreds of articles and seminars across the country on the role of our ovarian and testicular hormones in every aspect of our health.
	And I said, guys, now I know why I'm here.
	You don't even know about my earlier work.
	This isn't just about reproduction.
	It's about the function of every organ system in the body.
	You know, you don't even have normal vascular regulation in women.
	Without an intact estradiol effect on the blood vessels.
	And on the endothelial lining, it's one of the major triggers for releasing nitric oxide, which I know you know a lot about.
	But it is interesting, let me interject here then, the culture wars in America are also assaulting young children with chemical castration.
	Absolutely.
	It's all part of the depopulation.
	And also surgical mutilation, you know, removing the testes, for example, of young boys and saying you're a girl.
	Now, well, the implications of that are horrifying in terms of long-term biology, are they not?
	Oh, they absolutely are.
	They absolutely are.
	Go back to Genesis 127.
	God created male and female, period.
	Nothing is said about creating intersexes and multiple genders.
	Our biology, our bodies work with the biology that we were designed with.
	And when you start interfering with that, I know that transgender movement well.
	I was part of the group at Hopkins that was studying it when I was in my specialty training.
	There were surgeons in Norfolk, Virginia at my medical school when I was in medical school that were doing sex reassignment surgeries.
	I scrubbed in on them.
	They're horrific.
	They're horrific.
	And the recovery was absolutely ghastly.
	Now, to their credit, they stopped doing it because there were so many ethical concerns about it.
	And Hopkins stopped the program soon after I was there because they found that the rate of suicide was so high in people who had had the gender reassignment surgery.
	And now Hopkins is back into it.
	As are many facilities that are in it for the profit and money.
	Now, this medicine has become putting profit over patients, no question.
	Well, but I mean, even beyond that, I would say that at least conventional medicine has become demonic.
	Robotic?
	Demonic.
	Demonic and robotic.
	I mean, to do that to a child, how could any doctor go through medical school and even have a foundation of compassion and empathy for fellow human beings and not realize that mutilating a child In a lifelong way, not just the physical scarring, but the emotional, the psychological scarring would be absolutely devastating to them.
	How could a doctor take a scalpel to a healthy reproductive organ and remove it?
	Well, that was always considered unethical and could be sanctioned in the past.
	You're absolutely right.
	Doctors were sanctioned.
	And doctors lost their license for taking out a healthy uterus.
	That's why we develop surgical review committees.
	No, this is horrendous.
	This is truly an evil agenda and it's an assault on God's gift of life.
	There is no question.
	And in fact, Mike, our international team for the Whistleblower Report just in the last two weeks has addressed the point that you raised a few minutes ago.
	Was the shot toxic by design?
	Dr.
	Yeadon, who has 35 years in the pharmaceutical rational drug development business as a toxicologist and the chief scientist worldwide for Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company and Respiratory Pharmacology, has analyzed every step of the decision-making process at every step In the design of these mRNA experimental gene therapy shots.
	And he said publicly in our show two weeks ago, Dr.
	Vliet, every step in the process where they had a choice to select a less dangerous or a more dangerous course of action, they chose the more dangerous one.
	Wow.
	at every aspect of the way they were designed.
	Now, what also just came out in a whistleblower report interview that I did with Warner Mendenhall just recently, and he is an attorney fighting on many fronts in the field of law against the COVID mandates.
	If you haven't had him on, I recommend you interview him.
	He's...
	He is litigating in at least 15 different areas of law fighting the COVID mandates and has some amazing successes.
	But what he just got introduced to is a whistleblower in a Pfizer plant that is showing black mold contamination from We're good to
	trying to mitigate mole damage in their homes and trying to get doctors to take it seriously about mole damage.
	And here is a COVID shot manufacturing facility in the United States of America with no I've got the photos that Warner sent me.
	You should have him talk about this.
	Yeah, if you'll make that introduction, we'd love to have him on.
	Let me give out your website.
	The website, folks, is truthforhealth.org.
	It's Truth For Health Foundation.
	And you have the whistleblower report and vaccine injury resources, 5G, hormones and health and so on.
	Here it is, 5G and your health.
	So a lot of resources there.
	And that's a nonprofit foundation, correct, Dr.
	Vliet?
	Yes, it is.
	It actually...
	My husband and I started it in 2007 for a different war in medicine, similar to what happened with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
	And then the economic crash of 2009, through those several years, we inactivated it.
	And literally, my husband's last illness, I wasn't focusing on doing a non-profit with my medical practice and taking care of him.
	May 3rd, 2021, it was as if God spoke in the room with me saying, Lee, you have the foundation activated.
	This is the time.
	And I did a double take.
	I was like, what?
	And I had forgotten I had it.
	And I kept the filings active with the IRS, even though we weren't taking in any donors at that point and we weren't operational.
	And I went and got the documents and I looked at what we wrote for the mission.
	And it was like, oh my heavens, this is what we need now.
	And I changed the name to reflect the broader focus.
	I filed a DBA with the state of Arizona for Truth for Health Foundation.
	And literally within a few days, we launched it and reactivated it and have been going nonstop ever since.
	And I do want, in this day when there is so much mismanagement of public charities and donor funds being used to support lavish lifestyles and all sorts of things that are really not proper, I want your listeners to know we are a We the People charity.
	It's funded by small donors who care about the fact that we've made a commitment to bring truth and reliable resources to To truly help people and our legal defense grant program.
	I take no money from the donor gifts to our foundation.
	My work for the foundation is pro bono.
	My commitment is that I will oversee this to be run properly and be a good use of donor funds on my watch.
	And what I need to live on, I will earn through my totally separate medical services and Fee for service, nothing else, no concierge fees, just this is my time and expertise, this is what I charge, and I'm here to help and advocate for you.
	So it's all totally separate, and we have a lot of volunteers.
	We don't have high-paid board of directors.
	We don't hire a lot of employees and have to pay the government all the taxes.
	We do our work with volunteers and with very selected volunteers Contractors that are working with us for specific functions.
	I mean, obviously, we need somebody to design the website in our new store to help people improve their health and resilience, and profits go back to the foundation, not to my pocket.
	So I'm really proud of our little band of warriors and the work that we've done with a team of volunteers who care about America and our freedom.
	Well, that's outstanding.
	I'm just looking at your whistleblower section, your episodes.
	Are these videos like World in Chaos, aerosolized mRNA?
	They are all audio.
	They're audio, okay.
	And then I do a column for each one.
	I've got a couple of columns still to get up there.
	Okay, well, it looks like very valuable information.
	And I'm so glad to get you on here today because there's so much that you are investigating that we are also looking at and people are concerned about.
	In fact, let's use that to shift to 5G. And specifically, let me ask you, because there are so many theories out there about is there any interaction between 5G and vaccines Or what are the health threats of 5G by itself, even if there is no interaction?
	What are your thoughts on this subject?
	Well, let me say, let's use a couple of common sense examples.
	First of all, I did have...
	Six months of radiation oncology training during my internship that turned out to be very valuable, but I learned quickly that I'm not a physicist.
	I don't have a math mind, and that was definitely not the best field for me.
	I really am a people person, but that has stood me in good stead.
	So just as we know that in radiation therapy, which is using ionizing radiation and EMF Electromagnetic radiation and 5G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and microwaves are non-ionizing radiation.
	But with anything, you can damage the human body with radiation effects.
	That's why dosing in radiation oncology treating cancer patients has to be so incredibly precise.
	Because if you...
	Use too much, you will burn and damage the tissue.
	If you use too little, you don't kill the cancer.
	So, clearly, there's a dose-effect relationship.
	Now, with relationship to the electromagnetic radiation, the studies on that go back to the 1930s and 40s, and actually, the Russians began studying it in more detail in the 40s, 50s, And that led to the US Navy research that began in the 1960s.
	And some of your listeners may not remember the era of the Cold War and the Soviet Union, but Our U.S. embassies in Moscow and Cuba were bombarded with microwaves by the Soviet Union.
	Ostensibly, they were using it simply to listen to conversations by bouncing microwaves off the building.
	However, what happened was that many people working in the embassies were getting sick with microwaves.
	Headaches and neurologic complications and later cancers.
	And that became known as the Havana Syndrome and has been borne out in multiple studies and court cases.
	So that's one longstanding example.
	On our website, in that resource section you showed, I found a formally classified document for the Defense Intelligence Agency, Initially published in 1976, it was later declassified and I found it on open sources and put that on our website.
	It goes through all of the body systems that are affected by radio waves and electromagnetic field radiation.
	So it's not that we haven't known about that.
	The problem is that it's not widespread in clinical medicine, the effects.
	And let's face it, cell phones did not become ubiquitous and widely available around the world until after about 2007 with the invention of the iPhone.
	While they were there earlier, they were big clunky things.
	They were very expensive and not widely available.
	And we can go back to the Austria Medical Guidelines of 2012.
	We can go to the Dean's Lecture Center.
	By Dr.
	Deborah Davis at University of Melbourne in 2015.
	We've got the 2016 guidelines on the risk of EMF and wireless communication radiation effects.
	And all of these countries, particularly throughout Europe, less so in the U.S. because we did not have the standards, we Yeah.
	Yeah.
	and still are to a great extent, is they are looking only at the thermal effects or heat effects of cell phones close to your body.
	They are not looking at the other biological effects at the cellular level and the effects that are more subtle, causing inflammation, immune disruption, alterations in blood vessels and coagulation and bleeding alterations in blood vessels and coagulation and bleeding pathways, cellular uptraining.
	Oxidative stress, for example, is very common.
	Proxy nitrate production.
	Exactly right.
	Now, wait, so you're saying they're only testing for thermal effects.
	I mean, that's crazy.
	That sounds...
	I mean, because your body can handle a lot of heat because it can dissipate heat, but it can't handle a lot of chromosomal mutations.
	Exactly right.
	Exactly right, Mike.
	That's what some of the leading voices going back...
	I mean, look at the work.
	I encourage your listeners to go look up the work of Dr.
	Deborah Davis.
	She is a world expert, and she is still giving powerful programs.
	I just watched one from 2015, and clearly showing disruption in sperm production in men who carry their cell phones in their trouser pockets.
	Showing adverse effects on the brain, particularly with young children whose heads are smaller and their skulls are thinner.
	In addition to that, she brought out in 2015, so that's nine years ago, really, the fact that the honeybee navigation and honeybee survival was affected as more and more of the cell towers went in.
	And that has become even worse today because they are so much more prevalent.
	I mean, we really face a devastating impact on honeybees around the world.
	Yes, well, obviously, I mean, we're seeing a honeybee colony collapse accelerating everywhere, and this is going to affect the food supply.
	But talk about, what about the 5G effects with vaccines?
	Have you seen in your research...
	Anything in that area?
	Yes, there actually is extensive information on that.
	And I've actually had patients, I've treated a couple of military service members who on deployment after vaccination already had some vaccine injury that were neurologic effects and then in their deployment were exposed to high EMF, very intense fields of EMF radiation and And the neurologic effects would become acutely incapacitating.
	I mean, to the point of causing such severe nausea and vomiting that they could not function.
	And I've actually interviewed them and evaluated those individuals.
	I'm sorry, what was the source of their EMF exposure?
	Well, that location is classified because it had to do with the deployment and I was not even informed of exactly where it was, but we know what it was.
	What was it?
	The assessment by those on deployment was that it was a targeted EMF attack to repulse them.
	Really?
	Really?
	Okay, because, see, I'm wondering about, there are so many new EMF sources of exposure in our environment.
	For example, a big one, electric vehicles, right?
	Yes.
	You're sitting in a car that is a giant EMF generator, in essence.
	I mean, you've got these powerful motors driving the four wheels.
	And the EMF effects are off the charts.
	And the battery charger and the inverters and then the battery charging stations, which are also taking...
	Often they're powered by diesel, like diesel generators, and then they're using inverters to condition that.
	I mean, there's all kinds of fields, plus 5G. Well, you know, actually, Mike, you could do a really big service with some of the people...
	On your team, just taking an EMF meter and carrying it with you in an electric vehicle and do a test and take a video of the meter.
	Colonel Sandy Marecki did that with her EMF meter testing cell phones during the October 4th ostensible emergency broadcast system.
	We think it was more than that.
	I have a summary Uh-huh.
	It was at least 40 to 45 minutes that was documented by people who were tracking it with EMF meters.
	And one gentleman sent us a summary of the timed pulsations that he was able to document.
	So what they did on October 4th actually included pulsed emissions.
	It was not just a steady tone like we're used to hearing in those monthly tests.
	At a state level of the EBS.
	So there was something else going on.
	And then done.
	Major Jeffrey Prather, I'm sure you know of him.
	Yes.
	He had a team of people doing test readings at different locations in the country and had a quick summary of what they found.
	All of this was concurrent.
	So here was a group of retired military people who understood what The use of EMF and directed energy weapons who were doing testing with the EMF meters during that October 4th test period.
	And they sent their recordings and their summaries.
	It was part of a group that I'm in.
	And we'll be talking more about that.
	But it was very concerning.
	And then the question is, FEMA had announced the possibility of October 11th being a backup test.
	So I think people need to be aware that there may be another one tomorrow on October 11th.
	We don't know because they are not disclosing that.
	Right, right.
	And for the audience, we're filming this on October 10th, although this won't air until after the 11th, so it will be interesting to see.
	But the reason I'm asking all of this is because, you know, EMF pollution, let's say, or exposure, as you've, I think, mentioned and found in your research, it can also have psychiatric effects.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Right?
	So is it possible for...
	5G towers to deliberately broadcast maybe a pulsed signal like what you were just describing that drives people insane, that makes the population, you know, temporarily mad or violent or irrational.
	It's certainly possible.
	I mean, years ago, back, I remember studying this in the early 1980s.
	There had already been publications in the psychiatric literature at that time that high cation environment, a cation is a positively charged ion.
	An anion is negatively charged.
	And you see high negative ions, for example, at the ocean with the surf crashing on the shore, particularly if it's a rocky shore.
	And then you'll see high cation or positive ion environments in the desert and around EMF towers, around electric towers, for example.
	So they already knew years ago that that was possible.
	And now the power and the pulse capability...
	And I'm not a...
	Physicist.
	I'm not an engineer.
	I'm a physician.
	But I'm studying this from a medical perspective.
	And what we know clearly, it disrupts the entire brain pathways that regulate mood, memory, attention, concentration, executive functions like judgment and That's the frontal lobe brain syndrome.
	That's well documented as a result of brain inflammation, EMF radiation, the COVID shots, all of that.
	Those functions that you mentioned, too, those are the things that make us human, is higher cognition, empathy, compassion, being able to plan ahead.
	If these can be disrupted by electromagnetic energy, Pollution broadcasts 5G, then it sounds like what you're saying is that there is a plausible mechanism by which these broadcasts could take a human population and turn them into animals.
	Well, turn them into people who are volatile and emotional and irrational.
	Absolutely.
	That is well documented.
	Look, Mike, we've been working on what started out to be a simple radiation injury treatment guide to go with our COVID treatment guide and our vaccine injury treatment guide.
	And that has grown now.
	Into three guides, one on ionizing radiation by one of our military experts in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons.
	Then one on non-ionizing radiation and EMF and microwaves and all of that, and summarizing what the data shows.
	And then how do you mitigate damage?
	What are the prescription medicines, nutraceuticals, lifestyle changes that you can make that mitigate radiation damage?
	And there actually are a lot of them, and we may talk about that another time.
	But I wanted to say to you that just in our work recently digging into this in detail, there are over 6,000 studies in the medical published literature going back decades that support every single thing I've just said.
	None of this is speculation.
	It's all been published.
	It's just not being brought to the attention of the public.
	It's not a part of clinical medicine unless you're in a cancer radiation therapy treatment center.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Okay, fascinating.
	There's a question I've had on my mind.
	Do you recall, what is the radioisotope element that's used in most medical imaging?
	Is it strontium or is it something else?
	Well, actually, there can be several.
	There's radioactive iodine that's used.
	There are several, and gosh, I'm rusty on that because it's been so long since I worked in that setting.
	Sure, but the reason I ask is because from other interviews I know that used medical imaging equipment is the source for terrorists to acquire dirty bomb material.
	Yes, yes.
	You're right.
	Now, that's the ionizing radiation.
	That's different.
	Radiation across the board has some similar classes of damage to the body, but ionizing radiation is where the focus has been.
	And in fact, I've had physicians say to me, oh, well, EMF doesn't cause damage.
	Damage like that.
	It's non-ionizing.
	And I said, yes, I know.
	But non-ionizing radiation causes damage at the cellular level.
	And this was born out, this was proven in the studies on the people who worked in the embassies in Moscow and Cuba years ago.
	Well, yeah, and the mechanism is very clear.
	And I know you know this, but just for the benefit of our audience, so...
	Non-ionizing exposure can cause production of peroxynitrite.
	Peroxynitrite molecules then cause chromosomal alterations in the nucleus of the cell.
	So in other words, it's kind of like ionizing, but indirect.
	It goes through the mechanism of this other molecule.
	So you can have chromosome breaks, double-strand breaks, from the radical...
	Exactly right.
	The free radicals that are generated upon exposure to non-ionizing radiation.
	And that also interferes with cellular oxygenation.
	Absolutely.
	So how do your cells work if they can't get oxygen?
	Mike, before you have to wrap up, let me just give your listeners a logical framework to think about this.
	Okay, yeah.
	Because there is so much confusion and so many people have such a piecemeal approach.
	It's kind of one product for this symptom or it's this organ system versus that one.
	A simple way to look at this, everybody, is whether it is COVID illness, hemorrhagic fever like Marburg, Ebola, Nipah virus, whether it's the COVID shot damage, whether it's 5G, NEG, EMF radiation, microwaves, whether it's diabetes, cancer, obesity, heart disease, autoimmune disorders.
	There are six fundamental classes of damage to your body, and all of them, all of the ones I just listed, operate through those six classes of damage.
	Number one, inflammation.
	Number two, disrupting cellular oxygenation.
	Your mitochondria, the endothelial lining, anything that's helping the cells get oxygen, that's called inflammation.
	Oxidative stress, cellular oxygenation disruption.
	Number three, endocrine disruption.
	And I've been writing about endocrine disruptors in the environment for 25 years in my consumer books on health.
	This is critical and it's much worse today.
	You're only hearing about it now...
	Because doctors haven't addressed it, but I wrote about it in It's My Ovary Stupid that was published by Scribner in 2003, talking about all of this, the endocrine disruptors in our diet and our environment and in the chemicals we're exposed to.
	So that's inflammation, oxidative stress, cellular oxygenation disruption, endocrine disruption, immune system disruption, massive Disruption in the way the immune system is damaged.
	It doesn't respond normally.
	It's damaged by all of those things.
	And the other is vascular disruption, integrity of the blood vessels, disruption of the blood vessels, and the entire regulation of coagulation, bleeding versus clotting.
	And the sixth class of damage is disruption of the cellular electrolyte channels.
	Calcium ion channels, magnesium, potassium, zinc, all of these electrolytes, sodium chloride, all of those Ions that have to travel back and forth across the cell membranes to regulate how our body works.
	I mean, for example, if you get too much calcium in your diet or supplements and you're magnesium deficient, that alters the calcium-magnesium ratio in the bloodstream, which creates a thrombogenic climate in the bloodstream leading to more blood clots.
	Well, if you're someone who's gotten the COVID shot, That's causing micro blood clots.
	And you're taking too much calcium and you don't get any magnesium, then you've got a perfect storm.
	You've got gasoline added to the fire of the COVID shot.
	And the other thing that's happening is the people who've gotten the shots, and I have patients in my practice that sadly didn't listen to my warnings and got it because either their jobs or their travel or their family or their doctor's We're pressing them to do it.
	And I'm seeing the complications.
	I'm treating them, trying to find ways to help them.
	And I tell you, I'm monitoring the D-dimer in every one of my patients who's gotten the shot.
	And I see it rising over time.
	I do not see it coming down.
	And I see the spike protein titers rising over time.
	So I think we're seeing people who are the walking wounded, and they don't even know it because their doctors refuse to do the test.
	Oh, yeah.
	And this last point you said, this is absolutely critical.
	And, again, I know you're aware of this, but I want to mention the existence of voltage-gated calcium channels, right, VV.
	VGCCs.
	So voltage-gated calcium channels are...
	Think about gating as the doorway that controls how much calcium is allowed into or out of a cell through the membrane.
	And let's ionize calcium because these are voltage-gated calcium channels.
	So the voltage that your cells are experiencing...
	It controls the gating of the ion channels, which means that if you're exposed to electromagnetic pollution, it can open the floodgates of calcium, which can be extremely toxic if it is brought into your cells in abnormal concentrations.
	I mean, calcium is a toxic metal, actually.
	People think of it as a mineral.
	Look at your table of elements, folks.
	It's a metal, and it's metal poisoning if you get too much, by the way.
	Thank you for bringing that out, Mike.
	You're absolutely correct.
	Actually, I taught chemistry before I went into medicine.
	People should go look at the periodic table because it'll give you a lot of information about some of these chemicals that you're hearing about in the contamination of the COVID shots and When EMF radiation disrupts the cellular ion channels,
	along with the COVID shot damage and contamination, again, it is not just an additive damage, it's synergistic, which means it's greater than the sum of its parts.
	So it's like pouring gasoline on a fire.
	I use that example a lot because I think it helps people understand the seriousness of how these effects build up.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	You nailed it.
	It's layer upon layer of an assault on biology.
	Yep.
	And which also brings in, I think next time we get together, we need to talk about nutrition because nutrition is the best way to counteract these assaults, but you're not going to do that by eating McNuggets and junk food and drinking Dr.
	Pepper.
	You're so right.
	Do you know, Mike, I stopped having any soft drinks before In 1983, because I started reading about the chemicals in them, and I started thinking, oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm doing this.
	And I was looking at all of these things we've just been talking about today because that was the first time I saw the article about the positive ion environments causing anxiety and agitation and all of that.
	And so I'm starting to put the pieces of the puzzle together and thinking, holy cow, I didn't realize I was doing that to myself.
	But trying to get people off soft drinks is...
	Like trying to swim upstream against Niagara Falls.
	I know.
	I know.
	Absolutely true.
	I've had that challenge with a lot of people myself.
	But I want to show my screen to my producers.
	I want to show people, here's calcium, just to prove that what I was saying.
	Here's calcium.
	This is a glob of metal.
	Calcium is a naturally occurring metallic element.
	Atomic weight of 40 here.
	So calcium poisoning is a metal's poisoning of your cells.
	For those of you who think calcium is a white powder that makes bones, no.
	It is a metal.
	And if you get too much, you're dead.
	If you get just the right amount, then it's great.
	With magnesium, with the right amount of zinc, trace elements, the right amount of selenium, the right amount of copper, but too much copper and you become a psychiatric patient, by the way.
	So, you know, people, it's all about controlling what goes in and out of your cells and that is completely messed up by 5G radiation.
	Exactly right.
	If everyone will think about that simple view, you really don't have to get into the various speculative theories.
	Just understand, this has been studied since 1930s and 40s.
	These are the basic classes of damage.
	These are the same classes of damage that occur with the COVID shot, COVID illness, hemorrhagic fevers, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, all of them.
	And all of them can be helped with dietary changes, the proper nutraceuticals, and not just throwing things on top of each other, not knowing what you're doing, but proper organizing what are some of the nutrients that are going to most help those problems but proper organizing what are some of the nutrients that are going to Right.
	And there's an organized way to go about doing it.
	Thank you for saying that.
	You're exactly right.
	There's an organized way.
	There's a strategy, a nutritional strategy.
	And I don't know about you, doctor, but I get asked this all the time, and I'm tired of hearing this.
	Someone will come up to me out in public somewhere, someone who recognizes me, and they'll say, oh, I've just been diagnosed with high blood pressure.
	What can I take for that?
	Oh, please, please.
	If this is your mindset, you have an issue.
	It's not, what can I take for that?
	It's, what are you doing in your life?
	What are you eating?
	What's your sleep habit like?
	You know, what are your exposures?
	Let's talk about why you have blood pressure that's out of whack instead of, how can I cover it with a pill?
	Well, exactly right.
	And I'll tell you, I was known as a bit strange in my practice in Norfolk because I would take people out of the office and make them go walking with me so that I could show them what would happen to their blood pressure if they just got out and walked around the walk.
	Yeah.
	Just move a little.
	Yeah, just move a little.
	And exercise and deep breathing and proper food balance.
	Drinking water.
	Yeah, staying hydrated.
	If you're dehydrated, your blood pressure is going to go up because you don't have enough volume.
	That's right.
	No, it's astonishing to me, but this is what we hear.
	This is the mindset that the typical consumer has been taught by medicine, that anything that's wrong in your life, there's a pill that fixes it, including psychiatric disorders.
	Oh, do you feel sad?
	Did a friend die?
	Well, sadness is an abnormal brain chemistry imbalance.
	You need this pill to stop your sadness.
	Yeah.
	It's like, what?
	You're crazy.
	Of course you're supposed to feel sad when someone died.
	And of course, Big Pharma is at the heart of a lot of that because they're advertising direct to consumers.
	I mean, look at all of the ads where, oh, you can eat this huge meal.
	You can eat two pizzas.
	If you feel acid reflux, just go get our pill.
	That's right.
	Don't cut down on the pizzas, but take our pill.
	It's ludicrous.
	Now they have these weight loss drugs that have side effects like making you age, making your face look 10 years older.
	Can you imagine?
	I lost 10 pounds.
	You look thinner.
	It drives me crazy.
	I have had patients People that have known me and worked with me for years, and they know my philosophy on these things, and they know that I don't just prescribe things just to give them a pill.
	And I must have a dozen patients in the last few months just say, will Dr.
	Vliet prescribe Ozempic for me so I can lose weight?
	Will Dr.
	Vliet prescribe semiglutide So I can lose weight.
	And my answer, no, because it has adverse effects.
	You're not diabetic, and this is not a quick fix.
	That's right.
	That's right, because what they want, they want to continue to eat the junk food, the ice cream, the soft drinks, but they want you to take away The ramifications.
	The consequence of it.
	Exactly.
	You are the consequence vortex.
	Please, doctor, take away the consequences of my bad decisions so I can keep living like a child, even though I'm 45 or whatever.
	I want to live like a six-year-old in a candy store.
	That is so well said.
	I love it.
	I'm going to have to use your description.
	Please do.
	Please do.
	You and I have the same philosophy.
	We care about people.
	We are empathetic.
	But grow up.
	Your mouth is not an entertainment facility.
	You're supposed to eat based on what your body needs, which as an adult, you should have a strategy.
	What do I need to eat that's going to serve my interest for longevity, cognition, feeling well, not being in pain, these kinds of things, instead of, oh, it's a giant amusement park, cotton candy and everything.
	Well, we have become a culture unlike my ancestors.
	And Mike, I wouldn't be here today if my ancestor who arrived at Jamestown Island in 1608 had not had the guts and fortitude and resilience to survive the starving times from the first socialist experiment on the shores of America. I wouldn't be here today if my ancestor who arrived And Thomas Gray survived the starving times.
	He was one of only 50 out of more than 400 colonists at Jamestown who survived.
	And if he hadn't, I wouldn't be here today.
	So in some respects, it is in my DNA to fight for religious liberty and our individual freedom as my ancestors did.
	And I told you that Richard Henry Lee was one of my ancestors and he signed the Declaration of Independence.
	And others fought in the first American Revolution.
	And along the way, what I've had to learn is that to make the choices to make Be responsible for my life and my recovery from major surgeries, major medical events in my life.
	The recovery came from the work I did putting the pieces together on that road to health after major spine surgery.
	I mean, I wouldn't be walking today if I hadn't had the best of Western technological neurosurgery.
	But the recovery came with nutrition, exercise, body work, relaxation training, biofeedback, and water therapy, and doing that over time on a consistent basis.
	We have taught, unfortunately, medicine, pharma, and the government collaboration have taught people to become helpless, learned helplessness, Insurance plays a role in that.
	If insurance doesn't pay for it, people don't want to do it.
	Instead of looking at, well, maybe it's cheaper if I pay cash for that generic medicine instead of the high insurance copay.
	True.
	They don't even look it up.
	No, it's incredible.
	And it's also cheaper to take care of your health and not need the hospital.
	Well, exactly.
	But for those who need a prescription medicine, they're...
	The idea that we are dependent on government, dependent on a pill, dependent on insurance, that dependency mindset, learned hopelessness, is the antithesis of what made America a great nation based on our policies.
	Ancestors who were independent thinkers, who were creative problem solvers and took responsibility for their actions.
	Well said.
	Exactly.
	And those are the traits that are going to pull us out of this nightmare scenario that we've fallen into.
	Exactly right.
	We're going to have to be smart, resilient, adaptive, and healthy.
	Exactly right.
	And you can't depend on doctors and medicines and doctors.
	In this era where the agenda is not necessarily in the patient's best interest.
	That's right.
	Too many hospitals have become murder factories.
	Murder for profit.
	We used to call that being a serial killer.
	Now it's just called medical treatment in mainstream hospitals or government dictated medical treatment.
	But I'm thankful that there are doctors like you, Dr.
	Vliet, who have broken out of the system.
	And who have embraced the reality of healing and nutrition prevention, patient education, patient responsibility also, which I know you're an advocate of that as well.
	So thank you for doing what you're doing, and thank you for joining us today.
	It was my pleasure.
	This was actually a lot of fun, and I thank you for having me.
	Well, me too.
	I enjoyed it.
	We'll have you back, and next time we'll talk about nutritional therapy.
	Sound good?
	And we've got to talk about the 100-year plan of depopulation because that is the bottom line that is the end game.
	Yeah, yeah, and it has begun.
	But yeah, we'll have you back and we'll cover a lot more next time.
	But the website, folks, is truthforhealth.org.
	And that's called Truth for Health Foundation.
	And check out her whistleblower section here and treatment guides and vaccine injury resources and so much more all there at that website.
	Thank you, Dr.
	Vliet.
	It's been really fascinating and eye-opening.
	I look forward to talking with you again.
	I look forward to it.
	Thanks so much for all you do.
	Great work.
	And just thank you for having me.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	You too.
	Take care, Dr.
	Vliet.

	And it is critical to support us in this mission as we call for humanitarian peace and de-escalation in the hopes to avert World War III. And one way you can do that, help yourself and help us, is at healthrangerestore.com.
	And I've got a couple of products to mention here today.
	We have back in stock now the Fermented Super 30, which is on my desk here.
	This is a combination of 30 amazing superfoods representing thousands of phytonutrients and then fermented to help release those nutrients for increased bioavailability.
	That's available right now at healthrangerstore.com.
	We also have hemp juvenate, as you can see in the canisters there.
	This is available right now on our website.
	It's made with organic hemp protein powder, which is a very nutrient-rich source of protein, organic chia seeds, clean chlorella SL powder, cordyceps mushroom powder, which, as you know, is a really invigorating mushroom, organic reishi powder, another medicinal mushroom, chaga, shiitake, turkey tail powder, Maitake and other, including lion's mane powder ingredients, and lojankuo, which is a natural sweetener as well.
	So all this available in hemp juvenate.
	It's extremely nutrient-dense as a superfood.
	You can blend it into other recipes and smoothies.
	It goes nicely with avocados and chocolate, by the way.
	It goes really well with chocolate.
