Time Text
Welcome to today's featured interview here on Brighttown.com.
I am thrilled to be joined in studio today by Michael Yan, board correspondent and so much more.
Welcome, Michael.
Hey, Michael.
It's great to be back in your studio.
Oh, man, you have been, again, all over the world, but most recently back in Panama.
Yep.
You did an interview with us from, what was it, what's the city right there on the Panama Canal?
Well, that's City of Knowledge.
City of Knowledge.
Yeah, but it's in Panama City, actually.
Okay.
Did we talk when I was in El Salvador as well?
No, like months back.
Yeah.
But more recently, when we were filming you, you had ships moving through the canal behind you.
That's the City of Knowledge.
In fact, that's where what used to be Fort Clayton, which was the U.S. Army South Headquarters, which overlooks Miraflores Locks, which Panama Canal, some of the locks there.
And it also overlooks the Pan American Highway Bridge there.
The old name of it is Thatcher Ferry Bridge.
And so literally from the IOM headquarters, the International Organization for Migration, the main pump arm of the invasion, they literally see the locks, the canal, and the bridge.
And they're in the best office space, and I would say in all of Panama.
So let's step back with the big picture, since you kind of mentioned the IOM there.
This is a globally organized and funded total invasion of the United States of America.
It is.
I mean, how many NGOs are involved?
How many non-profits are involved?
We don't know.
At least 250.
But down in...
At least.
But we don't know.
I mean, because there's too many...
It's like figuring out how many streams are in the jungle, you know?
Right.
It's like...
I mean, there's a lot of local ones that you only see in some local place, and it's hard to tell.
Are those actually an offshoot of IOM, or are they just...
But did they all get, like, a memo a few years back, or something that said, everybody, you know, maximize the invasion of the United States of America?
Or did they just do this organically...
On their own.
When the money's there, things pop up.
It's not organically.
You throw the fertilizer, basically, right?
But IOM has been around for years.
And also like NRC, Norwegian Refugee Council, HIAS, which is Hebrew Immigration Aid Society, or also Catholic Charities.
There's many groups of Catholic Charities, the Lutheran Refugee.
There's so many, like Doctors Without Morals, and there's so many of these institutions.
It's just over the top.
I can't keep track of them at all.
And every country I go to has different ones.
If you go to a different state, you'll see...
People you never heard of before.
And so a lot of them are local and organic from that area.
And then others appear to be offshoots of something larger like Catholic Charities.
So as you have seen this firsthand, you have studied this more than anybody.
And by the way, I give you credit, and I mentioned this in my podcast the other day, by name, I said you are the person most responsible probably for the defeat of that Senate immigration bill.
Because you are the one that has been spreading awareness on this more than anybody.
But had you not been doing that and exposing the Darien Gap and exposing the San Vicente camp and so on, that thing might have passed into law.
It would have codified into law millions of illegal immigrants every year.
I appreciate that, Michael.
And actually, there is some truth to that.
I mean, I do know how to do this.
There's a reason why you see Elon Musk at the border so much now.
Operation Burning Edge, which I started with Ann VanderSteel, and you saw the lawsuits at Colony Ridge.
Yep.
When we started Operation Burning Edge, the first place we went was Colony Ridge.
We took a couple of congressmen over.
We took Daily Wire.
We took quite a few.
And we brought a lot of press on it.
And then you saw the lawsuits.
And anyway, it got to be a big deal.
And then from there, we lifted and shifted over to SpaceX.
We spent two or three weeks at SpaceX, you know, right on the border there.
Because SpaceX is right on the Mexico border.
A lot of people don't really.
You can see the launch complex from Mexico.
Right.
Like, you can see literally Starship on the launch pad from Mexico.
And so we spent two or three weeks there with the intent.
We never reached out to SpaceX at all.
Never reached out to Elon.
Although I like the SpaceX stuff, I'm like a space monkey myself.
Ever since I was a child, growing up in Florida, I saw Apollo 11 take off when I was five.
Wow.
But we just focused on there, on SpaceX, with the intent of spurring Elon to start getting involved with the border.
Now he tweets about it almost every day.
Yeah, and Dr.
Phil was at the border recently.
Yeah, and so these are...
A lot of people don't realize what I do is not...
It's not journalism per se.
And I force multiply.
Like Anthony Rubin was just on Alex Jones.
He just messaged me just before we came on.
And he said, you know, I'm force multiplying now.
And you'll hear Alex Jones say, it's time to force multiply.
Force multiply is a special forces term that's used in Green Berets.
You go out and replicate yourself.
Yes.
So it's very important to keep your ego out of it.
You have to have an ego to do these sorts of things.
It has to be quite strong.
But you have to be mostly in the shadows.
You have to help everybody along and get them up there and resource them with whatever you resource them.
Either that's information or contacts.
Get them on location.
And it works.
You're also a great connector.
So what I've noticed about...
Working with you, knowing you for these few years here, is that you're always happy to introduce me to other people in this space, right?
Like Anthony Rubin being one of them.
Force multiplication.
Right.
Whereas, you know, perhaps somebody who didn't have that philosophy would be more, they would try to block that.
But you try to connect people.
And to your credit, then, the result is...
Massive awareness of the depth of this border invasion problem.
And again, I give you credit because without your work, probably Colony Ridge wouldn't have been exposed.
You know who really got that started was Todd Binsman.
Todd and I were briefing some powerful Texans somewhere in Texas, and he said, let's go over to Colony Ridge.
It was in the last chapter of his book.
Have you had Todd Binsman on?
No, I haven't.
He's unbelievable.
You've got to have him on.
Happy to.
He's a very smart man.
We've been down to Mexico together and across.
Anyway, he just got back from Europe studying this.
But Todd Benzman, in his book called Overrun, in the last chapter of his book, he talks about Colony Ridge.
And he said, so we were over there briefing these people and Last year, and he goes, hey, when we're finished, we drove, I don't know, like five hours to Colony Ridge, and we went over there together.
Specifically, he wanted to bring me because he knew I could bring artillery fire on it.
So we go over there, and the drones wouldn't go high enough.
I'm like, this thing is huge.
It's in the last chapter of his book, but that still doesn't do justice how big it is.
So I said, let's go get a helicopter or an airplane.
So we went to an airport nearby, and we came back with an airplane that day.
And I was like, man, we still can't get high enough.
And we couldn't get high that day for ceiling issues.
Cloud cover, yeah.
So we came back with a helicopter.
A good patriot named Dave Cannon let us use his helicopter.
And he took up some congressmen and daily wire and all that and Van Der Steele and docked chambers.
And so Todd had the idea of bringing me on, and then I brought the artillery up and wheeled it.
And then we moved down to SpaceX and did it again there.
And then I go down to Darien and do it again.
So this is how we're doing this.
You know what I'm doing?
I'm taking all that old Green Beret stuff I learned when I was very young, and I'm just doing it.
That's all.
I'm doing what they told me to do.
Right, exactly.
But you're very effective at it.
And now, because of this...
Because of this rising awareness, I mean, it has snowballed to the situation where Texas has told the federal government, no, we're not going to allow this unlimited illegal invasion of Texas.
Texas is defying that Supreme Court decision recently where the Supreme Court said you have to let the federal government remove the razor wire.
And Texas is like, no, no, no.
We're going to defend our borders.
And in fact, it's the United States government that has abandoned its constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion.
And then 25 other states, I believe, went along with Texas now.
And, I mean, this is a standoff.
This is an actual Texas standoff.
And we're in the middle of it.
I want to see Abbott actually start inspecting all the vehicles coming up from Mexico, right?
To put economic pressure on Mexico.
Actually, that'll put economic pressure on Washington.
Because keep in mind, As you know, it's the United States invading the United States, not Mexico, right?
Yeah, this isn't Mexico's fault.
We're the one funding it.
We are the ones keeping the borders open.
We are the ones throwing the corn on the ground, right?
And it will continue as long as this government's in power, right?
That's right.
Bottom line.
And so we have to get somebody like Trump in there.
I just took Brett Weinstein to the Darien Gap with Chris Martinson.
They both have really great shows and would be great on your show, actually.
Yeah, I'd love to have them on.
And I'll introduce you.
See, you're doing it again.
You always connect people.
I'm just doing that Green Beret stuff.
They taught me how to do it.
You know what I mean?
And I'm just taking what the old-timers taught me and doing it.
Execute.
And so, but Brett is obviously, he's quite close with RFK, right?
Bobby, right?
So now you see Bobby getting hardcore on it, right?
You know, when I took, I just took Brett down there and he got it immediately.
Now he's very smart, as is Chris Martinson.
So they're doing, I'm watching everything that I can, they're putting out so much I can't even track it all, but I'm following everything I can.
And they're very accurate.
And actually their analysis takes it a step further.
They're taking it Another 20 yards down the football field, right?
Yeah.
And so it's worth watching, for instance, Chris Martinson's peak prosperity.
He's got a lot of stuff out there.
Just to interrupt, Chris Martinson is the most surprising person in this because I've watched Martinson since the beginning of COVID, and he started out as a lot more of a mainstream person.
I mean, he would not have done what he's doing now back then.
I mean, he has developed and he went with you into the jungles.
Now he's back and he's tweeting about how bad the invasion is.
I mean, I did not expect that from Dr.
Martin.
I asked him many, many times.
I'm like, Chris, come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Yeah, I know this is the 50th time I've asked you.
Well, you keep asking me too, but I've been to Panama.
I've lived in South America, but I'm not going.
I've got too much to run right here in Texas.
I get it.
And here comes Big Dog.
Oh, yeah.
Let me take this guy down to Panama.
Bring him up here.
And actually, Brett Weinstein, he took to it as well.
When he went down there, you could see his eyes.
He immediately started getting it, right?
Because you can't understand this without actually going.
It's really a lot more serious in person.
By the way, Brett Weinstein did his Ph.D. work in Panama.
And interestingly, he called me up before we went, and he said something like, you'll probably find this boring, but I want to take a side detour and go in the jungle and look for these tent-making bats.
And he's probably never heard of them.
I'm like, I've heard of those.
It turns out he's the world's leading expert on tent-making bats.
Hey, big dog.
You can do a PhD on tent-making bats.
Oh my gosh, it was so fun.
Did you hear that, Roe?
The one fun part of the trip, it was fun going with them and Masako Ganaha, and of course always Ann Vandersteel, and Chuck Holton was there.
But seeing Brett just activate as an actual scientist, right?
Putting on his rubber boots, I'm like, Brett has disappeared in the jungle.
He's like, We were literally waiting for him to come back to the trail.
So Chris Martinson starts meditating and the birds are singing around.
It was a lot of fun.
I mean, it was fun actually doing human stuff and not the war side of it.
But then we got back to work on the other aspects.
And so if you look at Brett Weinstein's interview with Tucker Carlson, it's got probably 12 million views by now.
And it's incredibly accurate.
He was very accurate with such a...
You know, he spent almost a week down there.
Yeah.
And he really saw it.
He put it together.
And so did Chris.
They both did.
It's very important to look at their work.
And so now I'm about to take Epoch Times.
Oh, you are?
Oh, that's great.
Epoch is another key target.
I'm like, I've got to get Epoch.
I've worked with them in Hong Kong and other places.
Don't cover it, yeah.
And also, they understand China a lot more.
Absolutely.
So specifically, I want them because they're bringing Mandarin speakers and that sort of thing.
And so, you know, like Josh Phillip at Epoch.
There's certain people I want to take.
You, Chris Martinson, Brett Weinstein, and Josh at Epoch.
And, you know, I'm targeting who I'm asking, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And so finally, Epoch's on it.
And that's great.
So we're going to go next week.
Every time you're here, he wants to play with you.
Come on, big dog.
You just seem like a fun dog person, you know what I mean?
That's good.
He knows I love dogs.
Yeah, he does.
They can tell who grew up with dogs.
He's just...
I mean...
Dogs and people are made for each other.
Come on.
There we go.
Yeah.
How you doing?
How you doing today?
How you doing?
Did you want to comment?
What about the...
That could have gone wrong.
Yeah?
Isn't that right?
Yes.
He loves the fact that you're here.
He's ready to play.
He brings his own toys, too.
He came in today with that ring around his neck.
There it is.
He's getting it.
Yeah.
Come over here.
Come over here.
Over here.
Oh, oh.
You're going on this side, huh?
He's like, it's playtime.
Yeah, is that right?
Okay.
Alright.
I'd like to take him down to Darien.
How about this?
Let's pause for five minutes and let's let him...
Let's go throw this.
Okay.
And then...
We gotta wear him out for a minute.
These Belgian Malinois, man, they have so much energy.
His energy level just went up.
It's through the roof.
He is now caffeinated.
Alright, pause this.
He's not tired.
Anyway, this is a good time to have a security dog, given the crime situation in America.
When I go to a gas station, knowing the illegal violent crime situation, if I'm pumping gas, I roll down the window where he is all the way, and then I'm pumping gas.
So if anything happens, I give him the command, and he can just leap out and take care of business.
Right.
Like having a buddy watch your back, you know?
The chances of you needing that now are extraordinarily high, and they're increasing, obviously.
Getting higher.
And then while he occupies somebody, I can get my sidearm, you know?
Even on the way over here today, we saw a lot of homeless that I don't remember seeing before.
Really?
By the highway, yeah.
You're driving through Austin?
Yeah, on the side of the highway.
Oh, on the side of the highway?
Not Austin, but yeah.
Like the underpasses?
I'll send you a video when we leave.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, I mean, the situation...
I should apologize to the audience for all his huffing and puffing.
We ran him hard.
Yeah.
He's not tired at all.
He wants to keep going.
I know, he does.
But back to the topic here, you know, how does this end?
I mean...
Either America is going to be overrun or we're going to stop this.
Yeah.
There's no in-between at this point.
Yeah, and people often ask, well, how much longer do we have?
It's over.
The Rubicon has been crossed.
We're on the other side of the river now, right?
You're in the terrain where you're going to end up having to fight.
One way or the other.
The crime is dramatically increasing.
You see, now that they're doing exactly as many of us predicted, not just me, not just you, not just Alex and so many others.
I mean, a lot of people saw that this would go down to, you know, people attacking police.
And that sort of thing.
Now it's begun, and it's going to increase.
A lot of these people have no rules from the countries that they came from, right?
You should see them coming through the Darien Gap, some of those people down there.
I mean, a lot of people coming through probably are quite civilized, and others are straight-up feral.
And there's a lot of those feral types, like, for instance, Venezuela having released people from its prisons and that sort of thing.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm sorry to pause here for a second.
Only because you're a dog person, so it's okay that I do this.
Oh, yeah.
I grew up with dogs.
Come on, bro.
Want some water?
Want some water?
One of my first babysitters was a German Shepherd, Duchess.
Alright, crazy dog.
Now he's got water.
Yeah.
One of my first babysitters was Duchess, our German Shepherd.
She went and let me out of the yard.
She'd knock me down and drag me back by my diaper.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I'd be like, leave me alone.
You're the one person who doesn't mind this.
I mean, you're out in the Darien Gap jungles, you know, and I'm an outdoor guy, too.
Dogs are like my family.
All right, good boy, bro.
Come on.
My family would see this and say, wait a minute, we're not dogs.
I was attaching new hydraulics to...
One of my farm implements the other day.
I was like, this kind of real physical work feels real.
It's fulfilling to do something real.
I mentioned this to you before.
All over the world I get along with farmers.
Everywhere.
Including Taliban farmers.
I was out with Taliban farmers.
I'm like...
Wait a minute.
I don't want to bomb these people.
I mean, I like them.
No, farmers are great everywhere you go.
It was actually an epiphany.
I was like, you know, out with these.
And they were just, you know, everywhere I go, farmers want to talk about the same stuff, like the rain and some bug on the crop, or they got a new tractor or something.
Tell us about what you think of the farmer protests now.
I mean, even Poland and, of course, France and Germany and the U.K. I mean...
What's your take on that?
I've been out with the Dutch a lot on their protest.
Yes.
And everything that they're protesting, they're in the right.
They are.
I used to think that the French farmers, not used to as in the last few months, but the last 20 years, I used to think that the French farmers would go a little bit over top with some of their...
But now I have to...
Amends my ideas.
The French farmers are right for defending everything.
They have to defend it.
They were right all along.
But when you go to France and you go to these local villages and whatnot, the food is great.
It's locally grown.
And once you go and you start to enjoy France and you realize the wisdom, we don't...
We want the farms to all be the most economical farms.
We want them to be local and resilient and healthy.
So you have food redundancy.
You've talked about this so much.
Right.
Because famine happens when you don't have local food redundancy and then some outside force comes in and screws with your food supply.
That's right.
But they sell it to us with cheaper prices, and of course they buy up the smaller farmers as they die out or whatever.
In Japan right now, I went there last year with Masako Ganaha, and there's just like bears and deer and wild hogs and monkeys overrunning northern Japan.
Because the farmers aren't there anymore.
A lot of the farmers are in their 70s and even 80s.
And we went out with this bear hunter in northern Japan.
We went to a restaurant.
We were actually studying famine.
I told you, we went to a place.
Because, you know, Japan has had a lot of famines.
And so we went to a restaurant, and I asked Masako Ganaha, Japanese journalist, I said, can you ask the waitress, are there any bear hunters around?
She's Japanese.
I was like, just please ask.
And so she asked the waitress, the Japanese waitress, and she said, oh yes, my neighbor is the best bear hunter in the prefecture.
So the next day we were at his house, and we spent the better part of the day with this bear hunter.
I think he was 73, and his wife, and he was telling us how he hunts bears.
Wow.
Oh, it was fun.
In Japan, that's wild.
Oh, and he was so happy.
He was just a farmer, man.
He's a farmer.
Yeah.
And so, you know, we were just drinking green tea all day, and then he showed us, he had four freezers full of bear, hog, and deer meat.
He had six guns, I think.
Like bear jerky.
Oh, yeah, straight up.
Oh, my God.
He had, I think, four rifles and one shotgun.
Yeah.
No kidding.
Yeah.
Wow.
All right, so, but let's tie all this together, because the global war on farming and food is actually connected to the global invasion of Western countries.
I mean, this is all, they're trying to collapse Western civilization, they're trying to cause famine, they're using food scarcity as a weapon, they're shutting down energy infrastructure in Europe and the United States, and they're using then energy scarcity also as a weapon.
Joe Biden just blocked, you know, more LNG exports out of Texas to try to punish Texas for not allowing the invasion.
It's all connected, man.
It's a global war on humanity.
And straight up fascist.
And that is a proper use of the term, actually.
Fascism is when industry and government just become inseparable like saltwater.
They're the same.
And actually, Nazism was when you took that fascism and you added a huge racial component.
That was basically, in a nutshell, what Nazism was.
But there is a racial component to this current fascism.
It's anti-white.
And notice how they project so much and call everybody Nazis.
Yeah.
Because they project.
That's what they do.
Because they are the Nazis.
But, you know, interestingly along those lines, there's an anti-white bias now in all the institutions across America.
Did you see that the FAA is trying to reduce the number of white people in the FAA? And they even put out on their website, on the FAA's own website, it says they want to hire people who are cognitively retarded and who have severe psychiatric disorders.
And also not white people.
Like, this is what they're going for.
But it's also Asians.
Asians are discriminated against in the Ivy League schools and in medical schools.
Especially Japanese.
Definitely Japanese.
You know...
I'd take 100,000 Taiwanese migrants tomorrow.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, and Japanese as well.
They're good people.
Oh, big time.
Yeah.
And also, they don't bring much crime at all.
No, no, no.
Their sort of crime is like gambling too much or something.
Machang.
Yeah.
Playing machang and drinking sake.
They love to gamble.
Yeah, they do.
Asians love to gamble.
Yeah.
I love Asia.
I love Asia, too.
I've been to like 25 Asian countries.
Oh, wow.
And like Japan, of course.
Yeah.
Anyway, but the bottom line is we're certainly not against immigration.
But, you know, the Japanese and Taiwanese, they are discriminated against.
Absolutely.
In many ways.
Yeah.
And now the mainland Chinese, the communist Chinese, are clearly coming to invade.
It's a straight up...
I'm not saying all the Chinese are coming for that.
No.
But the main current is clear invasion.
They're here growing marijuana in Maine and Oregon and Oklahoma and California.
They're doing huge marijuana grows now.
A lot of people don't realize that.
No, that's been in the news recently.
All these marijuana farms...
What are they putting in that marijuana?
Fentanyl, man.
Yeah.
They're leasing it.
That's why, and some people get upset when I mention this name and go against him, but Joe Rogan, I don't like that he's on his show smoking dope in front of millions of young people.
I'm not a fan of that either.
I'm done with that.
You know what I mean?
It's like, what side are you on, Joe?
You know what I mean?
Seriously, I mean, he talks the conservative talk, but then, hey, let's smoke a bong in front of millions of young people.
Well, and Elon smoked a joint on his show, too.
I know, that disturbs me.
Yeah.
I'm really highly supportive of Elon on many things, but the whole bong thing, maybe it was a lapse of judgment or something.
Yeah, I don't know.
A lot of people don't know this, but you don't drink alcohol, and also I don't drink alcohol.
I mean, it's very rare for two guys in Texas sitting at the same table that neither one drinks.
Yeah.
That's very rare.
And I've been doing interviews from a distillery recently.
One shot.
Without drinking there.
That's like being Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and I don't like chocolate.
But I do like chocolate.
No, chocolate's fine.
Cacao, we'll take some theobromine, you know.
That's right.
But yeah, I mean, so you and I, we don't drink and we don't do drugs, but we watch what's happening in society.
Where drug use is getting more widespread, but again, the fentanyl problem, which is a product of the open borders and China working with the narcos to poison our people.
I lost a family member due to fentanyl poisoning, by the way.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What happened?
Well, overdose.
Overdose in a parking lot, a younger person.
A generation younger than me, but in my family, and they found them dead.
And it was fentanyl, you know?
So, I mean, this issue has touched me, and it's touched every family.
And let's be honest, every family in America has somebody that's either addicted or dead because of fentanyl.
You know, and I do spend most of my time still overseas.
As you know, I'll be gone for months at a time, and I pop in for a week or two, and I'm back gone again.
And so I say that to set the table.
When I come back to the United States, often I'm gone for years at a time.
I come back, and I can tell my country's on drugs.
Oh, okay.
I can see it.
The behavior's different.
Like, when I go to Taiwan, I'm like, hey, they're...
Humans.
And I come back to America, and there's a lot of people that are clearly on drugs.
And, like, I go to Washington, D.C., you smell marijuana in the elevators and on the streets, right in front of the White House.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, and Philadelphia, San Francisco, everywhere, man.
Everywhere I go, I smell dope all over the place.
Wow.
Including Austin.
That's why I don't travel much.
I don't want to go to places like that.
Last time I was in San Francisco, it was like 15 years ago.
It already smelled like garbage.
You should see it.
I went there last year a couple times.
Because, you know, I think if my paradigm is accurate, San Francisco will want to make, or China will want to make San Francisco their sort of base, their eventual capital, right?
Their beachhead on America?
Oh, yeah.
And notice that she, I've published this numerous times, and then she went over there, weirdly.
Not weirdly, because it fits the paradigm, and he didn't go to Washington.
And they cleaned up the city for President Xi.
But I went there before they cleaned it up, several times since I've been back to America, or since I really returned in 2020.
And it's filthy.
I mean, it's dangerous.
I went to school in San Francisco.
Oh, did you really?
I went to language school there, yeah.
I learned to speak German in San Francisco.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, and so I remember back then, it was really the first big city I'd really been to as a southern boy.
You know, I grew up, like, catching gators and stuff, you know?
So I go to San Francisco, I'm like, whoa!
You know, what is this round bread?
Bagels!
Almost with all these crazy steep streets.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because, you know, the biggest mountain in Florida is, like, 100 meters.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, well, but...
So, again, back to one of the main questions, how do you think this ends?
I mean...
War.
War.
Like, straight up.
Domestic war?
Across America?
I think it'll be...
You know, wars are...
One thing about war is...
They're highly...
The two predictable things about war is they grow, and they grow unpredictably.
Uh-huh.
I mean, those are the two...
After that, you know, everything's up for grabs.
I mean, you know, like, for instance, every time you see these, you know, military analysts, you know, talking about, well, they got this many tanks, and they got that many, and then they're going to do this.
Remember that with the Ukraine?
I'm like, yeah, right.
I don't even pay attention to those guys.
No.
They don't make the initial cut.
You know, because there's, as you know, there's a lot of other things going on, like energy, food...
Access to the ports?
Logistics.
I mean, how about the industrial supply chain that's supplying your military?
Exactly.
It's like everybody in NATO forgot about that.
That's why I sense that Israel's days could be numbered, as we know them.
The things that they're doing, you know, and let me set the table on why I'm saying that.
For instance, let's go back to Iraq.
In 2004, as you know, there was Blackwater contractors murdered in Fallujah.
One of whom I went to school with, Scott Helvenston.
He was the youngest Navy SEAL. He made it through all that selection at 17.
Wow.
So we used to play football together.
We worked out together.
He went to SEALs.
I went to Green Berets.
I was one of the youngest Green Berets.
At 19, he was the youngest SEAL. Some people say, that's nonsense, it's impossible.
I'm like, ceasefire, look it up.
You can see, he was.
He was super stud.
I mean, he was like, unbelievable Scotty, you know?
And so anyway, Scott got killed.
And so he was one of the contractors, hanged off the bridge.
And so the bottom line is, By the way, Fallujah was peaceful mostly up to that point.
Some other cities were fighting quite a lot, south of Baghdad and Najaf and all that.
But some other areas, but weirdly not the city of mosques, which is Fallujah, right?
But then after that, and some of the tribal leaders wanted to turn over the killers and that sort of thing, and they're like, hey, this isn't Islamic, but the United States wanted to punish them, and we did, right?
And so in April of 2000, because Scott was killed on, I think, March 30th or 31st of 2004, and then in April, we started just...
Crushing Fallujah, right?
And now I'm going somewhere in regard to Israel today on this.
So the war from there just exploded.
So you had people coming in from Yemen and all over the place, Libya, Europe, United States, coming over to Iraq to fight because for two major things.
One is Abu Ghraib.
They saw what was happening.
Now Americans will go, oh, Abu Ghraib, nobody died.
Okay, first of all, That's not true.
There was a total torture system going on.
They knew it.
But Americans are like, no, that's not torture.
What if it stopped the next ambush?
Whatever.
Okay, here's the bottom line.
Millions of Muslims knew they were being tortured.
Yes.
And by the way, it wasn't the media that released it.
It was the U.S. military.
It was Army people that actually made photos and videos of what they did.
And then it was an Army soldier that released it to CID. And it was the Pentagon that then released to get ahead of things, right?
So it wasn't like broken by media.
It was broken by...
But just because they knew it was coming out.
Yeah, they tried to get...
I talked with the colonel specifically who was advising the command, like, just get ahead of it.
But those were horrendous photos that showed one of the prisoners on a leash.
Yeah.
Like, naked...
Clearly beaten, starved, and on a leash.
Yeah, imagine if that was a U.S. soldier.
Imagine if they had a Navy SEAL on a leash.
We'd be like, hey, let's go and bring the B-52s up to march, right?
So this brought in a massive influx of Islamic fighters.
It's icasualties.org, icasualties.org, and you look at the casualties and you look at the war, you'll see there the war really kicks into sort of the second war.
There was that first kinetic war, you know, the invasion, you know, force on force, and then there was a percolating insurgency that was starting to pick up.
But Abu Ghraib and then Fallujah, keep in mind...
Albert Grabe is at Fallujah, too.
So they were actually together.
So it happens to be...
I've been to both quite a lot.
I've been to Fallujah quite a lot, anyway.
And so they...
So then we attacked Fallujah, killed a lot of people.
I don't know how many.
It was a lot.
And destroyed some mosques.
Oh, yeah.
And so...
Again, Americans are like, yay!
Now millions of Muslims are like, hey, many came to fight physically and others just supported, either through information or facilitation, money, all those.
And then we...
As the war grew, as if doubling down on stupidity, we did Operation Phantom Fury, which was the second attack on Beluga in October, right?
So when Operation Phantom Fury kicked off, that's when I went to the war.
I said, we're losing the war.
Now, people for years have been...
The war was on for three years, and people kept asking, Mike, why aren't you at the war?
And I'm like, because it's a war, and I don't want to go to it.
It's dangerous, right?
But then in Operation Phantom Fury, and two of my friends, Scott and Richard Ferguson, one of my Green Bray teammates, had been killed.
I went to both of their funerals.
And then Operation Phantom Fury, that's when I went to the war.
Because I know how I am.
If I get to the war, I know I'm going to go into the most intense combat I can get in.
And I did that for years.
And the bottom line is, I saw what happened.
Anytime we did something, it doesn't matter if Americans perceive it as okay.
What matters is how the millions of other people in the UMA see it, right?
Exactly.
And they saw it as, look at Israel now.
The energy in the system is building.
The only way Israel will survive is, I mean, the main lifeline is the United States.
And we clearly are going into civil war.
And financial collapse.
Our economy is collapsing.
Yes.
Israel is a sitting duck without the U.S., You could literally end up with Turkish troops in Gaza or that sort of thing, right?
I mean, I don't know how this plays out because remember, wars only do two things predictably.
They grow and they grow unpredictably, right?
And now you see the Suez and the Red Sea and all these different components that are Far outside of the immediate battlefield, which all will eventually, I mean, these buzzards will come to roost.
This literally could be the end of Israel.
I don't know, though.
Let me ask you this.
Now, Israel could purge Netanyahu and the other war criminals out of its own country, and Israel could salvage itself.
That's one possibility.
He's also a vax criminal.
Yeah, well, Netanyahu is a criminal against humanity at so many levels.
Not only the genocide against the Palestinians, but the genocide against his own people.
Your experience as a Green Beret and a war correspondent, let me ask you this.
How shocked are you that the IDF has essentially failed its mission of destroying Hamas and that the Hamas fighters have...
It was a surprise to me how much Hamas has been able to destroy IDF equipment, heavy vehicles, armor, and to inflict casualties on IDF. To the point where IDF, I mean, they pulled out several, I don't know what the unit is, battalions or something, and they're saying we're going to put them up north.
And Hamas is taking back over certain sectors of northern Gaza now.
Does that surprise you to hear that?
No, because the Israelis aren't supermen.
That's just advertisement.
I mean, they're getting stomped.
You know, I mean, not stomp.
They're obviously inflicting a huge amount of casualties, but they are getting hurt badly.
Yeah, but they're inflicting casualties on civilians.
Oh, they are.
If that were happening to Israelis, we would clearly call it genocide, right?
Yes.
You know, I had a Texas billionaire message me a few weeks ago now, I guess two weeks ago, and he was upset about some of the things I've published, like, for instance, calling that a genocide, right?
And he's like, you know, he sees...
Hamas and the Palestinians is one and the same.
But that's not the case.
That's not true.
You have to understand what you're saying when you say that.
You're too smart.
I was at his ranch one time and he had the Ukraine flag flying.
I'm like, why are you flying that thing?
No, seriously.
So is he tied to Israel then, and he's a full Israel supporter no matter what?
I'm not sure why, but I mean, actually, I've supported Israel all of my life up until the jab thing, and that put me on freeze hold.
I'm right there with you.
I didn't have any problem with Israel.
I have publicly supported Israel for years.
At great personal cost, actually, as you know, when you do this.
And then, as this happened, and some other things, and then finally this obvious genocide, I'm like, that's it.
I'm out.
I had to call it like it is, too.
And, like...
Five years ago, I was accused of working for Mossad.
Now, they say, oh, you're an anti-Semite because you criticize Israel.
I mean, it's so crazy, right?
But I actually, I have a Muslim American coming on the show in a few weeks who lives in Austin and who has lived all over the world.
And I'm going to try to get the Muslim perspective right here of what's happening in Israel.
Because we hear the Jewish perspective every day in the media.
Because that's 99% of what you do.
Keep in mind, as you know, Israel does not represent Jews, period.
I get that.
Actually, I know some Orthodox that would love to come on your show and talk about this.
We communicate every single day.
Yeah, sure.
I'm always open to that.
I mean, I'm happy to interview anybody from any religion, any country, as long as they can back up what they say, even if they don't agree with me.
And, like, you and I don't agree on every single thing, but we have points and experience to kind of support what we're saying, you know?
They're hardcore against Israel.
I've had to, like, I think you guys are over the top, you know?
I mean, these are Orthodox Jews.
But over time, I've seen, actually, they...
Actually, the things that they've said over time are panning out to be true.
Yes.
I mean, that's clear.
Listen, Israel simply does not represent Jews.
That's a Zionist state, and there's Christians there and Muslims as well.
It's untrue.
And I would say especially the Netanyahu radical wing, Does not represent Jewish people, that's for sure.
Right.
There are plenty of Jews opposed to what Netanyahu is doing.
And Netanyahu is an extremist.
I mean, and the Likud party and all that.
These people are like bloodthirsty, genocidal maniacs.
I used to think he was a good guy.
I know.
And Israeli friends would say, don't you see it?
And I'm like, what's wrong with him?
What are you, some left-winger, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
I've had to recalculate paradigm on that one.
But that's what's critical to what both you and I do, is we do have to recalibrate based on new evidence.
Right.
And so we're not tribal.
Like, you're not tied to some tribe.
I'm not tied to some tribe.
And...
Our perspective on things can change based on new information and new behaviors.
When Israel's bombing freaking hospitals in Gaza, man, bombing refugee camps, bombing residential apartment buildings, and saying that we're doing everything we can to reduce civilian casualties.
No, you're not.
You're lying.
You're bombing women and children.
Yeah.
Now I think daily, are we going to reach the point where I have to help hide Jewish friends?
Because we're getting down to that, right?
Hide them from Israel?
Oh, no, I mean from what's coming.
I mean, there's Hezbollah coming through the dairy and gas constantly, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, the energy in the system is growing.
I saw what happened in Iraq as one example with Fallujah.
I mean, if you look again at icasualties.org and you look at the casualties, look at when we hit Fallujah for the first time in April of 2004, and then look again as we started to hit it in 2004 in October, November, and then wrapped it up in December, and you'll see the casualties just...
And the highest rate of casualty in the war was, as I recall, August of 2007.
And I think I was on the Hugh Hewitt show at that time on a satellite call.
It seems like I remember there was a firefight.
Somebody could find this online probably.
And I said something like, I want to be the first to tell you If my memory is accurate, it's been a long time and a lot of war.
I want to be the first to tell you, I think we're starting to win the war in Iraq.
Now keep in mind, I was in Bakuba at the time, which was a highly kinetic environment.
And And I was cognizant that the casualties had never been higher.
And they were still going up.
And I'm sitting here on a satellite phone with Hugh Hewitt.
I think it was Hugh Hewitt.
And I was saying, I think we're starting to win.
And people were like, you've lost your mind.
And I'm like...
No, but high casualties often go to the pivot points of war.
If you find that interview and notice the next month, casualties will...
And there were reasons why I was saying that.
One, I could feel the energy.
I could see the human intelligence was flooding to us.
There were reasons why we were taking more casualties.
One is, we had more troops there, because we were doing the surge.
Another is, Petraeus was very aggressive, and he was...
Desperation.
Oh, we were going after them.
We were on them, man.
Even as you're attacking, I mean, we were inside their OODA loop.
We were getting so much intelligence from the locals.
They were so tired of Al-Qaeda and the other clowns.
I mean, Al-Qaeda, it's easy to burn a town down.
It takes actual brains and diligence to actually keep a town going.
It takes an architect and a bunch of skilled people to build buildings, but any clown can burn it down.
And so the Iraqis were tired.
First of all, they'd gotten over Fallujah and gotten over Abu Ghraib because we then cleaned up our behavior.
But Al-Qaeda and the others never cleaned up their behavior.
And I was there.
I was watching them give us...
So they would say, oh, you know, we want you to leave, but please help us kill Al-Qaeda first, and then please go home.
And then, so they were telling us where they're at, and we were smoking them.
But we were taking more casualties, and then, you see, I did that interview, and then, boom, it went down.
But what I'm getting to is the reason it went up to begin with...
It was Fallujah and Abu Ghraib.
Now look at Israel, what they're doing in Gaza.
The more we bomb Gaza, just the more pissed off all the Arabs get.
And we don't win.
All we do is recruit more enemies of Israel and America.
And they can be in literally Fort Lauderdale right now looking at a golf course through binoculars.
Right.
So when you say, I mean, I'm very intrigued by, you said earlier that you think you might have to start hiding Jews.
We're going to have to hide together and fight together.
No, but I mean, are you thinking that there's going to be Hezbollah in America hunting down Jewish synagogues?
What are you talking about?
It's actually hard to imagine they're not going to.
Really?
Yeah, because you can see, again, a lot of this is obviously intuitive.
It's not deductive reasoning, right?
I mean, a lot of it's based on...
But it's data-driven intuition, though.
Yeah, yeah.
It's certainly an experientially driven hypothesis.
Yes, okay.
And that should make Brett Weinstein happy.
If you're watching Dr.
Weinstein.
Awesome.
But I can just feel it.
I'm watching the energy.
I'm watching what people say.
You have more and more Islamic enclaves that are quite fundamentalist, actually.
And they're everywhere.
These meta structures are everywhere.
And as are Jews.
For instance, in 1994, there was a bombing in Panama that hit an airplane and killed, I believe, 12 Jews.
I had actually lunch with one of the family members about a month and a half ago or so in Panama.
And then the day before or the day after, there was another bombing in Argentina at a Jewish center, and it killed 85, I think, and wounded 300.
So 385 casualties, right?
And that was Hezbollah, right?
And so the Hezbollah that did the bombing, the mastermind that did the bombing in Panama is believed to own a bar on Margarita Island in Venezuela right now.
I mean, literally owns a bar.
So if I'm hearing you correctly, and by the way, Rhodey's still out of breath.
We ran him pretty hard.
He's still recovering.
If I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying that the longer the U.S. continues to support the actions that look like genocide.
I mean, it's clearly genocide that Israel is doing to the Palestinian people, right?
Straight up war crimes.
I mean, dressing up as medics and going into a hospital in order to assassinate patients in the hospital.
That happened at the West Bank.
Did the IDF do that?
IDF did that.
They dressed up as medics, got in the hospital and murdered three patients.
And then the U.S. State Department said, that's perfectly fine.
They have the right to defend themselves.
I mean, you've been in war zones...
Isn't that one of the worst violations of, quote, rules of war?
You don't go into hospitals and shoot patients in their beds.
That's a straight-up war crime.
Straight-up war crime.
Israel does that.
But the more the U.S. supports Israel, you're saying...
It's actually...
Several layers of war crimes.
I'm not a lawyer, but I... Well, the hospital itself is off limits.
Yeah, and...
You know, when I was in the Army, we got so much legal training.
And at one point, I'm like, what, are you training me to become a doctor?
I mean, a lawyer or a Green Brain?
Right.
Because we're learning Geneva Conventions and all these laws of land warfare.
And it's quite a lot of training, actually.
It was a lot.
And so, first of all, doing it in the hospital.
Right.
Dressing up as a medic.
As a medic.
If they did that.
That's crazy.
And also, were they wounded and incapacitated?
Yes, they were incapacitated.
That would be actually like three different crimes, and that's not even being a lawyer, I can see that.
I mean, that's straight up three different...
Right, but not only does Israel do that, then the U.S. supports it, and then, of course, the entire Islamic world sees this, because it was caught on video.
There's hospital video that shows this happening.
The Israelis have to...
Go ahead, sir.
Well, so the entire Islamic world sees this.
That just enrages them further.
Israelis have to keep in mind that the world is changing, and dramatically.
And the time can easily come where they're not free to travel anywhere, because they'll be arrested.
Like Netanyahu, go ahead, leave Israel.
ICC. Yeah, and that could easily happen.
And then what?
I mean, you wouldn't end up isolated.
Well, Blinken could be brought up on charges by the ICC eventually.
Joe Biden could be criminally indicted.
Easily.
It's all a matter of who's got the guns, has the law, is what it comes down to at this point.
Keeping in mind, this is all part of a larger game, of course.
It's not just Hamas.
This is about...
Trade routes.
This is about energy.
This is about food.
This is about reducing the global population.
Keep in mind, another interesting little factoid is the Indo-European corridor starts at Mumbai, of course, and goes through UAE, through Saudi, through Jordan, and right through Gaza.
Wow.
And Haifa will be another feeder, I'm sure.
But interestingly, obviously the Chinese put a lot of money into Haifa Harbor as well.
There's a lot more going on here than meets the eye, right?
Oh, yeah.
There's a lot more going on behind the scenes.
You can get focused on the two dogs fighting in the parking lot, but in reality, there's Godzilla coming.
Yeah, exactly.
Hey, I want to ask a favor of you.
I think I've got him here.
Okay.
I want you to take these.
These are goldbacks, which have like one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold in each goldback.
And I'm just going to give you this stack.
And I want you to take these, and I want you to just give them to people.
Okay.
Like, wherever you go.
Okay.
And I want to hear back from you, like, especially internationally.
Like, give them to people in Panama.
Give them to people in Belize.
Yeah.
Just tell me what the reaction is.
Because this is...
I mean, the gold's actually in the bill.
How would they, I don't know, change it for cash?
Well, they don't.
I mean, some merchants accept this because there's physical gold in it.
So you want me to do this?
I'm not going to do it in Panama.
I'll get killed, man.
No, but I mean, just take these and give them to people.
Give them to people over at OneShot.
Oh, okay, good.
Yeah, over in Dripping Springs.
But I did the test on these, and each one actually has one one-thousandth of an ounce of 24-karat gold in it.
So the gold is worth $2, roughly, per bill.
Right.
And then, but...
The merchants take it for a lot higher value because it's got divisibility.
So in other words, this could be another...
It's like a local replacement for a collapsed currency.
Right.
Because the gold's in the bill.
Like you're actually looking at the gold on the back.
Oh, that's wild.
Yeah, but...
I've been talking about these quite a bit.
What a great idea.
Who made these?
The company's called Goldbacks.
Oh.
Yeah.
I interviewed the founder.
Oh.
And so I got my hands on a bunch of these.
I've been giving them out since, like, last Thanksgiving.
Yeah.
And when I'm communicating with you down there, it'll be on sat123.com.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, true, true.
Oh, man.
Yeah, sometimes I forget to say, I've got a Starlink down there, and walkie-talkies and whatnot that they've provided down in Darien.
Nice.
So a lot of times I have communications thanks to them.
Yeah, well, Tina's been great.
She was here like a week ago.
But I just, I'm always thinking about...
We can play cards with these things.
Yeah, I know, they're pretty thick, actually.
Yeah.
They're waterproof.
I know you're probably going to meet up with Doc Chambers pretty soon.
Give him some of these.
I will.
I gave some to Alex Jones when I was at his studio recently.
Wait, it says South Dakota?
Yeah, they issue them for different states.
They're all South Dakota here.
Well, these are all South Dakota, yeah.
They have them for Wyoming and Nevada, stuff like that.
I'm just curious because we're talking about collapse of systems and civil war.
If civil war breaks out, what's going to happen to the dollar?
I mean, that's going to become...
You've got to go to gold.
You've got to have...
And things like that.
Texas will have to have its own currency.
I want to ask you a question on this because I've wondered...
It's quite clear that there's going to be some population reduction.
It's already occurring, obviously.
And what will that do to the gold prices, actually?
Because there'll be less demand with fewer people.
Well, actually, let me ask that on real estate prices.
I mean, if the population reduction is so dramatic, real estate will collapse because you'll be able to live in any building that you can occupy.
Yeah.
I mean, you think about it.
If they kill a billion or a couple billion people on this planet, there's going to be empty homes and empty buildings everywhere.
You're going to be able to have whatever you want if you can just maintain it.
You see what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
And as far as gold, yeah, I guess gold and silver prices would fall as well, but then again, everybody would have free homes.
You know what I mean?
It's like the whole economy would be completely recalibrated.
At that time.
Yeah.
So the old models would be, you know, supply and demand would still be there.
I mean, people need energy no matter what.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so the basic needs will still be there, but it would certainly change a lot.
And I don't know how it would play out.
Well, I mean, think about it.
You could have any vehicle you wanted because there'd just be abandoned cars and trucks everywhere and construction equipment.
It'd just be a question of what you can maintain.
Yeah.
I thought about this extensively in one of my books.
One of my e-books that I have is downloadable.
It's called Resilient Prepping.
I thought about this economy.
I thought that a lot of cities...
Think about San Francisco.
That the city would auction off salvage rights to salvage teams to go into people's abandoned homes and apartments and salvage whatever they want.
Kind of like the way that they do the storage facilities.
They auction off.
You have access to an abandoned storage facility.
Same thing with homes.
And then people would go in there.
Salvage teams would go in there.
And they would yank out appliances and guns and jewelry and gold and whatever they can find.
Clothing.
And this will be happening across all the cities.
What's happening with these jabs?
I mean, the cancers and these things that people keep dying of.
Famous people dying all the time now.
It's a long-term depopulation weapon system, and it continues to kill month after month.
You know, Brett Weinstein, when we were just down in Panama together, he had an interesting theory about I think I saw him talking about this on one of the programs.
Oh, it may have been on Tucker Carlson.
What an interview he did on Tucker Carlson.
It's had about 12 million views.
And he was very accurate on Darien.
So on Vax, I can't audit because I'm not an expert on the death jab, but But on the Darien, he was quite accurate.
Well, he was good on the jab, too.
I saw that.
Yeah, and he and Brett Weinstein, his idea was that the third jab, he doesn't know, but he's hypothesizing or guessing maybe that the third jab may be the real kill shot.
Actually, you should get that from him.
I think it varies batch by batch.
I think some people got harmless batches, and then some people got totally deadly batches.
Think about the whistleblower out of New Zealand, the guy that was running the JAB database.
I keep forgetting his name, but we had Liz Gunn was the journalist that represented him.
I think his name was Young, Barry Young.
That's it.
Very young.
And they arrested the guy because he was coming out and telling the truth.
He said people who got this jab, what was it like?
24% of them were dead in two weeks.
There's no telling how this plays out.
Just that one batch.
And so many famous people that are quite young, we all know what's happening now.
We don't necessarily know what's happening, but we can definitely see a lot of people falling.
Yeah, but I think those numbers are tiny compared to what the globalists wanted.
I suspect that as well.
I think they wanted by now a billion dead and they didn't get it.
I want to be careful with that.
It could be intentionally long-acting.
By the way, people keep calling it experimental vaccine.
First of all, we know it's not a vaccine.
And secondly, where's the evidence that it's even experimental?
I mean, where's that?
I mean, they could have developed this over the last 20 or 30 years for deployment, right?
I mean, they could have been very...
It's like a confirmed weapon.
Yeah, exactly.
And so the idea may be...
I mean, obviously, if you're going to do something serious, you would want to have a very long flash to bang.
True.
True.
That's a great term, a long flash to bang.
Right.
True.
But I think that what they're going to do next, well, I think it's already in process.
They're going to accelerate the die-off with global war.
I mean, maybe thermonuclear war.
You saw Medvedev recently warning that if NATO continues to escalate its war cycle with Russia, that Russia is going to be forced to respond with nuclear warheads.
And those are going to be ballistic strikes on Europe, man.
I mean, European, I mean, there goes Warsaw.
There goes the military bases in Poland, right?
I mean, who else is Russia going to hit?
Right.
I mean, and London and Paris and Berlin, they're going to devastate Western Europe.
So that's a massive die-off if that happens.
And then the whole freaking Northern Hemisphere is all irradiated at that point.
And then you're going to have a die-off of a couple of billion people for the next two years because the food supply craters.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the thing is, this is not really far out there thinking.
It's not.
It's just like this far away.
It's right there.
Yeah.
I mean, basically, Russia, through Medvedev, is telling NATO, stop being morons.
Stop this.
Stop.
But telling a moron to stop being a moron doesn't work.
Ask Joe Biden, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Of course, he's a meat puppet.
He's not in charge of anything.
You know, at the end of the day, there's some very challenging times ahead.
No doubt about it.
And people have had plenty of time to continue to get prepared.
For one thing, you've been telling them for years.
And at some point, it's going to be too late.
Hey, tell people how they can find you and your sites and so on.
Plug your stuff.
Oh, I'm on X every day, you know, at Michael underscore Yon.
Y-O-N? Yep, Y-O-N, Yankee Oscar November, and then on Substack, and also at Locals.com.
Okay.
Michael underscore Yon dot Locals dot com, or how does that work?
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Or they can try weather without the underscore.
Yeah, I don't plug myself enough, but I'm on X every day.
And soon I'll be on...
I'll go on Tucker and a few others soon, and then I'll be vanishing for a while after that.
It's about time that you went on Tucker Carlson.
I mean, I'm glad he's having you on, by the way, because like I said, I think you are the...
The key person that exposed this.
I mean, you've been very dedicated.
And I don't even know...
How do you afford to do what you do, man?
You just get some donations from users or what?
Oh, since about 2000...
I haven't worked for anybody since...
I think the last person I ever worked...
I mean...
Somebody with the ability to look on computers could see, but I think it was Michael Jackson was the last person I actually got a stub for.
Oh, yeah.
I did security for him.
I mean, I've started businesses and that sort of thing.
But the last time I actually worked, I was in college, and I just got a job.
Somebody offered me the job, actually.
So I basically just sat at Neverland and did my calculus homework all night.
It was a great job.
So check on the giraffes, check on the lion.
Like security for Michael Jackson.
Yeah.
And that was a long time ago.
Odd job.
It's funny.
One time I was in Afghanistan and I said, you know, Michael Jackson had died.
And I said, I was out in this village way out beyond the electrical lines, you know, way beyond the...
And I said, do you know that Michael Jackson died?
I said that to the village chief.
He's an old man.
He rubs his beard and he goes...
Yes, the Michael.
We know.
We have lost the Michael.
The Michael!
He's like, please tell your people that we shed one million Pashtun tears for the Michael.
It's just funny.
Kurds said something similar on a different thing.
We've shed a million Kurdish tears.
But that was Pashtun over in Afghanistan.
Oh my.
He's like, oh, the Michael.
The Michael.
Oh, okay.
So those are your websites, and I also want to remind our audience, we've got some new supplies coming in on our store, healthrangerstore.com.
We've got organic butter in number 10 cans back in stock.
I want to give you some, take back over to Dripping Springs.
We'll load you up with some stuff here, and you can also help hand it out to some other folks over there.
We've got organic cream and butter.
I'm going to plus up and buy a bunch more.
It's clearly coming.
It's just a matter of...
We're having a lot of trouble getting the animal products in stock that are like cream and butter and cheese.
You mentioned that earlier.
Yeah, it's like we can get the grains and legumes and quinoa and stuff like that, but these other ones, the cream and cheese, we only do organic, right?
So...
We don't mess with the non-organics.
Can we talk about one more thing?
Of course.
You remember a couple years ago I brought up screw worms.
Screwworms.
I think I brought them up with you.
Screwworms are a flesh-eating worm, right?
Okay.
And this is very important.
And, you know, our basically great-grandparents fought a big war against screwworms.
It's a forgotten war, right?
And I'm telling you.
What are we talking about?
Oh, these things eat the cows and the sheep and us, too.
They'll get you.
And so they're flesh-eating worms.
And so this is...
I'm going somewhere important.
This is not a setup for like a punchline or something?
No, no.
This is straight up.
And so the reason you never heard of it is because it was a war that we won, right?
Let's say we were holding the enemy at a line of scrimmage down there.
The front line is the Darien Gap.
Really?
So what happened is our great-grandparents and whatnot, they fought so many battles we never even heard of because they won them.
And they fought these squirrel worms out of America.
They pushed them down through Mexico.
They pushed them down through Central America.
And the line of scrimmage, the front line, is the Darien Gap.
And so what we do...
What's that?
You're kidding me.
I'm dead serious.
We eradicated the screwworms all the way down to the Darien Gap.
Yep.
And so we have this irradiation program in Panama where we irradiate flies and crop dust them over the Darien, right?
Uh-huh.
So a couple of years ago, I'm like, if my paradigm is right, those screwworms are coming back to America, you know?
And...
So I reached out to him, and I asked him.
Who?
Oh, the USDA down in Panama.
Oh, okay.
Who's doing the irradiation.
So I'm sorry, I should have filled in that part.
Oh, that's all right.
I'm assuming everybody can read my mind.
And, you know, I've had to deal with our government and a lot of governments a lot.
And sometimes when they behave in a certain way, it's like a child, like, did you steal the cookies?
No, you know.
And so when I was asking them to come and talk with them, they had the hand in the cookie jar look, right?
And I'm like, something's wrong.
So I told some congressmen and whatnot, like Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin and others, I'm like, you know what?
You need to go down there and check this screw room facility.
They're giving me the cold shoulder.
Something's wrong.
The screw rooms are coming back, I think, as my guess.
And now, just yesterday in the news, There's some screw worm outbreaks in other parts of Central America.
I'm like, they're coming back.
I'm telling you.
This is a big deal.
This can have a huge effect.
It's not, again, long flash to bang.
So even as I was driving to your studio today, somebody called up.
There's somebody high in the USDA who wants to talk.
Well, maybe when I leave.
Wow.
Because...
Look...
That's why I just put on Twitter, or X yesterday, you know, Governors Abbott and Christy Noem, I put the top 10 beef-producing states on, and I hyperlinked them yesterday on Twitter.
You need to send entomologists and veterinarians down to Panama right now in Central America, and you need to get right on top of this and start fighting this war.
So the screwworms...
Attack cattle in particular or other?
Meat.
Any kind of meat.
Yeah, yeah.
And like dogs, people.
You know, interestingly, so last year when we were doing operation, we're still doing Operation Burning Edge, you know, Ann VanderSteel and I launched that.
So we were down in McAllen and I asked a veterinarian, Dr.
Michael Vickers.
He's one of the most well-known veterinarians in Texas.
He's advised a couple of the governors and he spent years down in Mexico doing, he's an anthrax specialist.
So I asked Dr.
Vickers.
Everybody in the veterinary world knows Dr.
Vickers.
So I asked him to drive down if he would kindly brief our team on screwworms.
So he came down to McAllen and he briefed us for, I mean, it was hours and hours into the night at dinner, right?
I mean, it was like eight hours probably.
And he said they haven't seen any screwworms, but there's this tick issue and some other stuff.
And he was actually...
He's an anthrax specialist.
It was anthrax that he had found in the 1980s, I think, that was actually the anthrax strain that was used in the attacks after 9-11.
But I know that some things like this were being developed as biological weapons decades ago.
I think both the Soviet Union and the U.S. I know, like, what's Plum Island?
Off the coast of New York, right?
Wasn't Plum Island?
That's where they developed all these bioweapons that became Lyme disease?
Yeah, I read a book.
Before I came back to the United States in 2020, I read a book on Lyme disease.
Yeah, that was a Plum Island weapon program.
I read that book specifically because I thought, you know, If we end up in a lot of fighting, I might have to dash into the woods, you know?
And so I wanted to, you know, and I know Lyme disease is now quite prevalent.
Yes, it is.
And so, but actually, but anyway, Dr.
Vickers, I'll give you his number.
So I asked him to talk about, he said, we haven't seen any screwworms, but he'll tell me if he sees them.
But I checked, I mean, they're on my Google net alerts, you know?
But anyway, just yesterday, reports are out, there's They're moving north.
They're moving our direction.
And that's why I put on Twitter last night, and again, what do you call it, hot link or something to the top ten governors of the top ten beef-producing states.
They don't just go after cattle.
But this is another...
The reason I've been watching the schoolrooms thing for a while is because I just thought, they're going to attack us with those.
Yeah, no kidding.
Or they're just going to be incredibly incompetent because that's who we're installing in all these.
Well, another reason for border control is the agricultural contamination.
Dr.
Vickers, he'll talk your ear off, man.
He knows all about this stuff.
I mean, he's an expert on the tick issues.
He'll tell you how they, what's the name of the suit?
It's like a Tevek suit that you walk in to the brush and you pick up all the insects, you know, and then they do the count.
The entomologists look at it.
Is that right?
You put a suit on.
I don't know.
Is it a giant sticky suit?
Yeah, and you walk through the sawgrass and stuff.
Really?
Oh, he'll tell you all about it.
And he's like, you know, in the past it was such and such, and now, and by the way, he lives on the border.
He freaking finds bodies on his ranch of aliens coming over.
He showed us during the briefing, he started talking about that, and he was showing us slides of veterinary stuff, and then finally he goes, let me show you what's actually on my ranch.
And there's like dead bodies and Not eaten by screw worms.
No.
Not yet.
No, but you know, and he told us why the bones disappear in Texas.
You know why the bones disappear for people when they die out there?
And they're not like just bleached in there for 30 years?
Well...
No, I guess not.
The animals eat them, like the cattle eat them.
Well, my dogs eat deer bones all the time.
Yeah, they'll eat them for the nutrients.
Yeah.
Dr.
Vickers is amazing.
And so he can talk to you about, well, to my knowledge, I know there were some screw worms in Key West some years ago.
Yeah.
And it's a mystery how they got there.
And anyway, somehow they got to Key West.
Thanks for giving us something There's nothing new to worry about.
When I'm developing information networks, you know, to figure out the spider web, I always go to veterinarians.
So, you know, if I see a veterinarian in a crowd, I'm like, you know, hello, my name's Michael Yon.
And so I want to know, you know, and if they see anything pop up, I want to know about it.
So always pay attention to veterinarians.
Wow.
Yeah, well, really important point.
Okay, so just one more threat to the food supply.
We know the food supply chain is already in a dire situation.
There's a lot of sabotage.
There was a big fire of a chicken farm here in Texas a couple weeks ago.
Massive fire.
How many have there been?
I mean, it's been hundreds of different attacks on food infrastructure over the last two years.
Hundreds.
And it's not just coincidence, you know?
This is a pattern.
It's an ongoing pattern.
Somebody's setting fire to food facilities, basically.
They're running around the country setting fires.
You know...
Doc Chambers can talk about that train derailment up in Ohio.
You know, he went up there.
I know he did.
And so he was up with the Amish people.
You know, Amish are great.
So when he showed up, they didn't have any phones to call each other, so they do the Amish thing.
I don't know, bells are sitting riders on horses and stuff.
But he said all the elders came and they were meeting with him and they were talking to Doc like, he saw the cloud, you know, the black cloud, and they were saying things like, holy buckets, you know?
But Doc had this idea that maybe they were trying to take the farmland from the Amish.
Like declare it a contamination site?
Yeah, and you know, when I just went to see the Mennonites down in Belize that I was telling you about...
I wanted specifically to see them because I heard that some of the Mennonites were moving to Suriname and Peru because they were trying to make them take the jab in Belize.
Oh, yeah.
And the Mennonites are like, no, we're not taking the jab.
And so they started – their giant farms, they call them camps, right?
So they're huge.
And, I mean, they're amazing.
And so they sent out, you know, basically their advanced – Squads, you might say.
They're building a camp now in Suriname and one in Peru.
And anyway, so when they tried to make the Mennonites in Belize take the jab, the Mennonites started to leave.
The Belizean government got nervous and like, ah, they grow too much of our food.
But think about that in regard to Amish.
Amish are very self-sufficient.
Absolutely.
You can knock the grid down.
They're going to be like, hey, the city's dark.
Right.
Everything's the same here.
So they're probably communicating with pigeons and they're happy.
No, I respect the Amish and the Mennonites and any other similar branches.
I don't know what all the...
Religious branches are, but those kind of people, they're going to survive the end of the world, man.
I mean, those are apocalypse survivors.
Oh, the Mennonites, man, and the Amish.
I've interacted with them, especially Amish, quite a lot.
I really like them.
I respect them.
Oh, yeah.
And they're farmers.
They're always easy to go along with.
Yeah, they're close to the land.
They're very self-sufficient.
And they're also generally pretty humble people.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And we saw a Mennonite selling peanuts in the middle of a street in Belize.
Yeah.
And I had already been told that if they're selling peanuts, they did something bad.
That's their punishment.
That's the punishment.
Yeah.
And if it's really bad, they make you take your shoes off and not wear shoes for like, I don't know, some period of time.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's just like, you know, so we went, we stopped.
I was with Masako Ganaha and Ann Vandersteel.
We stopped and got some peanuts.
Yes, I've never run into like a mean Amish person.
No.
Like a Mennonite has never been some arrogant prick.
You know what I mean?
Although the Mennonites are known for smuggling, by the way.
They're famous for it.
Smuggling?
Straight up.
Smuggling what?
Seeds?
What are they smuggling?
Just everything.
Really?
Yeah, they're famous for it.
Well, sometimes it's necessary if you live under a tyrannical regime.
But to them, they don't have borders.
So to them, it's not smuggling.
Oh, it's just transportation.
It's like Bedouins.
You know, people say the Bedouins are smugglers.
Well, it's not their borders.
I hear a Blackhawk.
I mean, our location here, it's actually not a Blackhawk.
There's a helicopter port not far from where.
Oh, it sounds like a Blackhawk.
It's a private helicopter port.
Oh, sounds like it.
Anyway.
It's actually a medical helicopter.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
But there are Blackhawks that cruise.
I mean, we're not that far from Austin.
Yeah.
So there are military tracks.
You know who gave me a ride in his helicopter the other day?
And I got it muddy with my boots that I'm wearing.
It's okay.
Who?
Gary Haven.
Oh, really?
Wait.
Gary Haven has a helicopter?
Yeah.
I thought it was jets.
That's what I thought.
I didn't know he was a helicopter.
He flew in to meet with Ann and me, and we were talking about stuff.
And he was going to take off, and...
And so we were just taking him to the helicopter and saying goodbye.
He's like, you want to go for a ride?
And I'm like, yeah, let's go.
But I had mud on my boots.
I got it right on his...
And so, you know, and I told him, you know, you see the helicopter blades when they glow, when you're landing in the dust?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah.
There was no name for that, by the way.
I've read about this.
Yeah.
Yeah, but now there is a name.
I forgot what it is.
Cop Etchell's effect.
There we go.
I've read about this.
I actually named it.
I named it after two soldiers that were killed in Afghanistan.
No kidding.
And so when I was in Afghanistan, I was in this one district called Sangin.
It was the most dangerous district out of about 400 districts in Afghanistan.
Very kinetic.
And so journalists didn't want to go there.
And the British Army said, well, you go.
And I'm like...
Send me a helicopter.
So I went out there.
And actually, one of the helicopters got shot down landing at this LZ. Not when I was there, but before I got there.
And, you know, killed him.
And so this is like constantly a warm LZ, right?
Uh-huh.
And we were getting in firefights and bombings constantly.
And so the medevacs were coming in and that sort of thing.
And...
And I noticed at nighttime, there was really bright rotor glow, which could get you shot, right?
Yeah.
Any signature.
And it was the brightest I've ever seen.
Usually you don't see the rotor glow, but sometimes I do in Iraq or Afghanistan or someplace.
But usually it was never that bright, right?
And so I skipped a few missions and I was out there at night.
Photographing this stuff.
I was like, this is unbelievable.
So I started, I was like, and I was messaging to people in different headquarters, like, this is dangerous, man.
This is going to get our guys killed, right?
They got to do something about this, like, I don't know, wet it down or something.
And so, but the, because it was the same LZ that keep coming into it, this tiny base.
It was a very tiny base.
And so you could hit it with small arms fire, direct fire.
So anyway, but the bottom line is, So I started asking people, pilots and whatnot, what's this called?
And they're like, Rotor Glow.
Nobody knew.
So I asked physicists.
I asked Sikors.
I contacted these helicopter manufacturers and stuff.
And they're like, we just call it Rotor Glow.
And I'm like, there's no name for this.
So that was when I named it after a soldier that was killed in the unit that I was with.
Benjamin Kopp was a ranger in a different unit that I was not with.
And then Etchells was a soldier, a British soldier, that was in the unit that I was with.
And he got blown up, actually, by IED. And so I named it after them, Cop Etchells Effect, because it's like a halo.
So anyway, that helicopter story made me think of that.
When I hear helicopters, I often think of...
Some of the moments in the wars because there is something about helicopters that do remind you of wars.
Yeah, for sure.
But anyway, we're just grateful that you're still here, man.
I mean, you've been in some very dangerous spots.
And people that you know have died.
I'm good to go.
But we're grateful that you're here.
We're grateful that you're helping to defend America and shining the light on the open border fiasco.
It's worse than a fiasco.
It's a straight-up treasonous invasion.
But I'm just grateful that you're here.
Me too.
Thank you for all that you do.
You know what?
And no PTSD. Can I say something real quick?
Sure.
A lot of the people that have gone off to the war, most of them come back fine.
But some do get PTSD and whatnot.
And why don't I have it?
And I did a tremendous amount of combat, actually.
And I think it's a couple of reasons.
One is I don't drink.
I don't do drugs.
And I do get out in sunshine, right?
And when I would take breaks from the war, I would go walk in the Himalayas.
I walked up to Mount Everest one time, actually.
That sort of stuff.
So I just walked to the bottom.
To the base of it, yeah.
But the thing is, what I'm saying is, don't listen to sad music.
Turn it off.
I'm dead serious.
Don't listen.
Don't drink the alcohol and don't do drugs and go for sunshine.
That's like God's medicine right there.
That's why I follow that, too.
Yeah.
I mean, you don't need all those drugs that they're pumping to you at the VA. What are they doing?
Poisoning?
Yeah, they're destroying it.
They come back with a table full of drugs and they're still depressed.
Of course.
Yeah, but that's just the big pharma connection, which is just another war on all of us.
But we're grateful that you're safe.
We're grateful that you're here.
I'm going to load you up with some stuff to take back over to Dripping Springs.
You've already given me a gold dollar assignment.
Yeah, but that's for you to hand out.
I was like, how many is this?
I'm going to be handing out for...
But I'll do it.
I think it's 100 or...
Maybe it's 50 or 100.
I'll do it.
But I'll start...
First, I'm going to look this up online so I can tell people exactly...
Yeah, you can see my lab tests.
We do have an affiliate site with this company.
It's called Verified Goldbacks, and you can see all my lab tests.
What did you do, like melt one down or something?
I've melted like thousands of dollars of these.
I bought a kiln and I melted them down, and then I extracted the gold.
I put it in my lab.
I did mass spec testing on the gold composition and also the gravimetric weighing of the gold that comes out.
Right?
So, yeah.
I'll fix that later.
Because before that, I didn't believe that they had the amount that was claimed.
Right.
I was very skeptical.
That's what I was wondering when you handed it.
I was like...
How can I know?
I was skeptical, so I did that.
But anyway, I'm kind of on a mission to give these out to a lot of people.
I've been using them as tips to waiters and waitresses.
They love them.
By the way, survival tip.
When you're in a foreign country and things could get dangerous...
Yeah, don't flash gold.
No.
You do bring money like this, like a bunch of $1 bills, and you take it and throw it.
People will go for that money.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's like chaff.
It's like a smoke bomb.
Oh, yeah.
It's like chaff.
Totally.
It's like chaff.
Totally.
Yeah, good advice.
You have a lot of wisdom, a lot of travel and safety wisdom.
I love how you always fit in with the locals.
You don't come off as the foreign gringo person who's a tourist.
They know I'm a gringo, but I usually get along with people because I'm actually...
Weirdly, I like people, despite all the war and stuff.
No, but I mean, people...
People know that you're someone who's familiar with being where you are.
That's the difference.
Because remember, I lived in Ecuador, and I was basically, I mean, largely also doing a lot of agricultural projects.
They're growing all kinds of superfoods, by the way.
And so I was always dressed like a farmer.
And pretty soon locals got to see me as someone who's just like a food grower type of guy.
That's different from some tourist that comes in.
And all flashy, full of American brand name purses and kind of weird garbage.
Where's Starbucks?
Yeah, right.
Or complaining that they can't find a McDonald's because they're in rural freaking Peru or Bolivia or somewhere.
If you go to the Darien Gap and you put into your GPS where's nearest Starbucks, the GPS will actually laugh at you.
Yeah, I would imagine.
No, but I always thought it's funny that I would see Americans come to Ecuador and all they want is their same crap American food.
I'm like, you came all the way here.
Why don't you eat local?
I mean, what the hell, man?
Just...
Experience the local culture here.
Have you heard of fresh papaya and mangoes?
A lot of those foreign countries have better food than we have, actually.
Like Mexico, man.
Mexicans know how to make some chow.
I love all the Central and South American food.
Oh, Guatemala, too.
I'm sorry.
Great to talk with you again.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for all that you do.
And America owes you a debt of gratitude, frankly, for what you're doing.
I'm lucky to be born here.
They don't owe me anything.
We've got to defend this place.
You make a point.
We're just doing our American beauty.
It's my country.
I own one tiny part of this country while I'm here, and I'm going to defend that tiny part.
Well stated.
I'm right there with you.
That's a lot of the reason why I'm doing what I do here.
All right.
Yeah, thank you, Michael.
Thank you, sir.
All right.
So Michael underscore Yon on X and Locals and what else?
Substack.
Substack.
Yeah.
And then, of course, Brighttown.com here for more interviews and podcasts and news from our studio here.
And thank you for all you do.
Thanks for being here today.
Thank you.
And Rhodey just woke up.
Yeah, Rhodey's around two now.
He's fully recovered now.
After he splashed the table.
Yeah, he's good.
Look at his footprints.
No, that's nothing.
He's got gashes in this thing from previous assaults, you know.
It's hilarious.
But the fans love Rhodey, and I do too.
He's great.
All right.
Well, thanks for watching today, everybody.
I hope you enjoyed this.
Just a really organic conversation with, I think, an American hero here, Michael Yan.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Breitian.com, free speech video platform.
And as always, you can repost this video on other channels and other platforms as well.
God bless America.
God bless Texas.
God bless America.
And God bless Texas.
God bless Texas.
You see this?
I got a pen from the Texas Rangers right here.
Thank you all for watching.
Take care.
Well, our formulators at healthrangerstore.com have been hard at work, and we've got two exciting new formulations to share with you.
The first is banana, peanut butter, and chocolate superfood shake.
And this, I mean, it's super delicious.
Wait till you find out about the ingredients.
You can find this at healthrangerstore.com.
The ingredients are so clean and simple.
Look at this.
organic whey protein powder, banana powder, peanut butter powder, organic cocoa powder, and organic cocoa sugar.
Notice, no flavors, no fillers, no artificial sweeteners, no aspartame or, of course, garbage like that.
We don't use that stuff.
This is available now.
It's super delicious.
It's an instant shake, and it's got whey protein in it, so that's even extra delicious.
And then we have another product called Organic Adaptogen Ginger Latte.
It's an immune support drink.
It's available now in these 10-ounce bags.
The ingredients on this are also really amazing.
Of course, it's USDA organic laboratory tested.
But look at this.
It's based on organic coconut milk powder, coconut sugar, ginger powder, reishi mushroom powder, and then some other mushrooms, shiitake, cordyceps, turkey tail, maitake, chaga, and lion's mane powder.
So this is a ginger latte, super delicious, and it's got the immune support benefits of all those mushrooms.
Both of these products are available now.
