	Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Monday, February 12th, 2024.
	Mike Adams here.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	Lots of things here.
	Number one, I've got an extended interview with Michael Yan that you haven't seen yet.
	This was filmed in our studio.
	It's about, I think, a 90-minute interview or so.
	That's coming up here today.
	Now, what you did see last week, if you've been watching my channel, is my appearance with Michael Yan together on The Duran Show.
	And that was an amazing conversation.
	Now, what we have published just, I don't know, a few hours ago is the full transcript of that interview.
	So if you didn't have time to watch it or you missed it or you just want to read it, we've got the full transcript posted now.
	On naturalnews.com.
	And then again, the interview coming up today will be a 90-minute interview, just Michael Jan and myself.
	And also my dog jumps up on the desk when I'm trying to give him some water and he spills water all over all of us and everything.
	So yeah, that happens too.
	Which is funny because Michael Jan and I, we don't care.
	We're both like...
	Dog people, you know?
	And we're used to being in the jungles or being outdoors.
	We don't care getting water all over the place.
	So he took it all in stride.
	All good.
	We've got other major breaking news today as well.
	Two big things.
	Well, at least two.
	Number one, the Senate voted to advance the $95 billion aid package, which is a total sellout of America because it gives $60 billion to Ukraine.
	$14 billion to Israel.
	It gives, what, almost $5 billion to Taiwan, and apparently $9 billion in, quote, humanitarian assistance for Gaza.
	I don't believe a word of that, by the way.
	I mean, how insane is this that the U.S. Senate and the State Department are like, here, let's give bombs to Israel to bomb Palestinians, and then we'll give them humanitarian aid also so they don't starve.
	I mean, what the hell?
	Seriously.
	Why are you giving money to bomb Gaza and then you come up with money for aid to Gaza?
	You know what the answer is?
	Because it's not aid.
	It's all grift.
	It's all kickbacks and bribery and fraud and payoffs.
	All these aid packages.
	My goodness.
	It's so much fraud.
	And what's the deal with all this money?
	$95 billion for all these other countries to protect their borders and zero for America's border.
	Zero dollars.
	Zero.
	The Senate voted on this during the Super Bowl.
	Which I was shocked to hear that the Super Bowl was happening because I don't pay any attention to professional sports.
	And I was out on the roads.
	I was like, man, the roads are kind of empty.
	It turns out everybody's watching the Super Bowl for some reason.
	I don't even know who's playing.
	I don't care.
	I don't care who wins or loses or what celebrity is singing in a halftime wardrobe malfunction.
	I don't give a crap.
	I don't follow that stuff.
	I've got no time for that.
	But they passed the bill or they passed the forward motion of the bill in the Senate on a vote of 67 to 27 during the Super Bowl.
	That's when you know they're hiding it.
	They don't want to do this out in the open when everybody's paying attention.
	They have to wait for everybody to be locked in front of their TV, eating guacamole and chips, and then they're like, yeah, let's pass it now.
	Don't let the American people know that we've sold them out.
	We've betrayed them again.
	Senator Schumer and Lindsey Graham.
	Senator Rand Paul protested.
	And he was sort of kind of trying to filibuster it.
	I mean, you've got to give Rand Paul credit.
	He's one of the few honest senators in the whole Congress.
	I mean, it's Rand Paul holding the line, just like his father did, Rand Paul.
	But very few others are holding the line.
	They just want to give out all our money to Ukraine and Israel and Taiwan.
	And again, what about our own border?
	Zero dollars for our own border.
	This is an embarrassment.
	This is an act of treason.
	This is selling out America.
	Senator J.D. Vance criticized it.
	Senator Mike Lee of Utah also tried to amend it.
	That failed.
	You know, there were some Republican senators who were trying to do something.
	But, of course, almost everybody is beholden to the Zionists, huh?
	Yeah, or they want to have more kickbacks from all this money to Ukraine.
	Let me ask you a question.
	Does this, I mean, it's about $60 billion for Ukraine.
	Haven't we already given Ukraine $110 billion at least?
	Maybe a lot more.
	$60 billion on top of that makes at least $170 billion.
	How come Ukraine hasn't beaten Russia to a pulp if all this money and all these weapons and all these things have been provided?
	Where's Ukraine's victory over Russia?
	I mean, it's no fault of the Ukrainian people.
	Don't get me wrong.
	The Ukrainian soldiers are brave, courageous, capable, intelligent soldiers.
	Men.
	I was going to say young men, but they're not that young anymore.
	Middle-aged men.
	Sadly, they're going to be elderly soon.
	None of them deserve to die.
	They're all being thrown at the front lines of Russia with all these false promises that, oh, we'll give you weapons that you need, we'll give you rockets, we'll give you F-16s, we'll give you all these Abrams tanks and everything, and then almost nothing shows up.
	But for some reason, there's a lot more money always flowing that direction, and nobody knows where it goes.
	No accountability for the money.
	It just vanishes, right?
	It's just gone.
	I wonder.
	Unbelievable.
	Are you tired of the treason?
	I think most Americans are.
	Now, there's something else that has happened that's also very disturbing.
	Israel is now bombing Rafa.
	Now, Rafa is this, I don't know if you call it a town or city, it's in southern Gaza, kind of like the southwestern portion, right next to Egypt.
	And Israel has been, there's been a lot of buzz over the last few days that Israel was threatening to start attacking Rafa, which is completely insane because that's where a lot of Gazans fled to when Israel told them to evacuate the north.
	Remember that?
	We're going to bomb the bejesus out of the north of Gaza, and you all need to get out.
	But they've been promising to bomb Rafa.
	I mean, this is just straight-up manslaughter at this point.
	This is genocide, okay?
	They're just—I mean, look, they told everybody to gather in the south of Gaza— Which increased the population density, and now they're bombing the very place that they told people to flee to.
	How is that not a war crime?
	How is that not genocide?
	It's incredible.
	Al Jazeera, of course, is covering this.
	50 people have been killed in Israeli air and sea attacks on Rafa, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
	Israel's planned ground offensive on Rafa will blow up the captive exchange negotiations, said a senior Hamas leader.
	Now, they're bombing Rafa right now, but Israel has said they're going to then do a ground assault, so they're going to bring in tanks.
	I mean...
	Again, totally insane.
	And Egypt, by the way, Egypt has said you can't do this.
	Egypt is lining up its own tanks.
	Egypt is saying that it's going to pull out of the previous peace agreement.
	I don't know if that was 1967.
	I think it was.
	But Egypt is going to assert that Israel has shattered the conditions of the former peace agreement.
	And it looks like we might be on course for a war between Israel and Egypt.
	I'm not kidding.
	Israel is clearly trying to provoke a response from Iran.
	It's very clear to me.
	This is how I think this is happening.
	I think the U.S. is ordering Israel just keep bombing and killing Arabs until Iran attacks so that we, the U.S., can justify bombing Iran.
	I think that's what this is.
	And so Israel is just abandoning all its previous agreements, abandoning the rules of law, abandoning any humanitarian sense, and they're just bombing Rafa now.
	Let's see.
	Joe Biden tells Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu that a military ground assault would need a safety plan for more than one million people who are sheltering in Rafa.
	Yeah.
	Where are the million people going to go?
	Egypt isn't going to just open up its gates and say, bring them all into Egypt.
	No!
	Unbelievable.
	A month's supply of food for Gaza, a humanitarian shipment, has been blocked in Israel's Ashdod port, according to the UNRWA. So Israel is, of course, weaponizing food scarcity to cause mass starvation.
	Because, you know, the current Israeli government is a satanic death cult.
	Yeah.
	Oh, by the way, if you missed my interview over the weekend with Dustin Nemos and Daniel Christos, I published that on Saturday on brighttown.com.
	It goes into the whole history of the satanic origins of Zionism.
	Yeah, that's a hot topic right now.
	So check out that interview if you missed it.
	So let's see, according to Al Jazeera, 112 Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours.
	The death toll is now at least 28,000 plus, and nearly 68,000 Palestinians have been wounded in Gaza because of Israeli attacks.
	Unbelievable.
	So the death toll in Israel from the October 7th Hamas attacks is 1,139.
	So think about that.
	And in response to that, Israel has exterminated 28,000 Palestinians and wounded 68,000.
	This is what a satanic death cult does.
	Let's see, related to that, two missiles were fired at a vessel in the Red Sea.
	According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, UKMTO, the crew were unharmed and the vessel is continuing to The Houthis continue to attack vessels in the Red Sea.
	I guess America's bombing of the Houthis didn't stop them, did it?
	Yeah, because it was all theater.
	Australian Senator David Shoebridge has decried the bombardment on Rafa and questioned the timing while viewers in the U.S. were watching the Super Bowl.
	Yeah, beware of the Super Bowl.
	All kinds of evil happens when people are glued to their TVs, right?
	Like that Senate bill and the bombing of Rafa.
	He said, quote, our hearts are with the Palestinian people now more than ever.
	He's a member of the Australian Greens who called for a ceasefire in Gaza and questioned Australia's role in exporting weapons to Israel.
	You notice what Israel does where whenever they just want to bomb the smithereens out of somebody and mass slaughter a bunch of people, they just say, well, Hamas might be hiding there.
	Let's bomb it.
	They're going to keep doing this forever?
	Oh, Hamas might be hiding in Beirut.
	Bomb Beirut!
	You know, I mean, how insane is this?
	Oh, Hamas might be hiding with Hezbollah.
	Bomb southern Lebanon.
	Oh, Hamas might be hiding in Egypt.
	Bomb Cairo!
	I mean, it's just, it never ends.
	Because these people are insane war criminals.
	It's...
	I mean, this has got to stop.
	And the fact that the United States government under Biden...
	And Blinken continue to provide the bombs to Israel?
	Let me tell you something, folks.
	This makes Joe Biden a war criminal.
	The ICC will one day issue an arrest warrant for Joe Biden, or maybe they'll say, well, he's too old and feeble to face trial as a war criminal.
	They would chase down Nazis when they were 99 years old, but Joe Biden's too old and feeble.
	He doesn't know what he's talking about, so we can't hold him accountable.
	Well, Anthony Blinken's also a war criminal.
	There's a bunch of war criminals in the Biden regime and in the U.S. State Department, by the way, and Homeland Security, you know, Mallorcas, for a different reason.
	A bunch of war criminals.
	I hope the ICC indicts them all.
	I mean, how can you continue to provide bombs to a nation, Israel, that's bombing a city of a million civilians, the people that Israel told to go to that city for safety, and then they bomb them there?
	And the U.S. provides the bombs.
	I mean, beyond insane.
	Just remember, folks, when the Civil War comes to America, there's no one that the Biden regime won't murder to stay in power.
	They will kill any number of innocent civilians.
	They will be complicit in the murder and slaughter of women and children and hospital patients and refugees and anybody.
	It doesn't matter.
	Anything to protect their power base.
	They don't respect life at all.
	The story was also covered on MiddleEastI.net, which says that Netanyahu's office posted on X that Israel could not achieve its goal of eliminating Hamas, quote, by leaving four Hamas battalions in Rafa.
	See, that is exactly what I said.
	Wherever they want to bomb, they just say, well, there might be Hamas in there.
	So they told the military to draw up a combined plan for evacuating the population and destroying the battalions.
	Well, wait a minute.
	Evacuating the population?
	Where are these people supposed to go?
	There's a million people there.
	They can't go back to the north because that's been bombed into rubble.
	They can't go anywhere else in the south because wherever they go, they're going to get bombed by Israel.
	They can't go to Egypt because Egypt won't take them.
	I mean, they're trapped and being bombed to death.
	This is genocide, just to be clear.
	Felipe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, told reporters on Friday that there was, quote, growing anxiety and growing panic in the city of Rafa, with Palestinians having, quote, absolutely no idea where to go after Rafa.
	He says, any large-scale military operation among this population can only lead to an additional layer of endless tragedy that's unfolding.
	And from the story, the U.S., the main military and financial backer of Israel and its war on Gaza, has cautioned Israel against launching a large-scale offensive into Rafah.
	But you notice that U.S. senators keep voting for more money for Israel?
	So they say, here, have some bombs, have some billions of dollars, but don't...
	Please don't bomb civilians in Rafa.
	But if you decide to, here's a bunch of bombs to do it with, and here's a bunch of money to fund your operations, but don't do that, actually.
	I mean...
	We are truly living in insane times.
	Truly.
	Even Joe Biden talked to reporters at the White House, which itself is a minor miracle.
	He said there are a lot of innocent people who are starving, a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying, and it's got to stop.
	Well, if it's got to stop, order the U.S. Navy to go home.
	Look, it's so simple.
	Surely Joe Biden still has enough cognition to figure this out.
	If you want Israel to stop bombing everybody, you tell Israel, it's very simple.
	You stop all the assaults in 24 hours or we pull out of there.
	We pull everything out, the money, the Navy, the soldiers, the super secret forces that are already there in Gaza, everybody.
	We pull them all out.
	And like magic, the bombing will stop.
	The whole U.S. Navy leaves the area, and then Israel's all by itself.
	Oh my God, what do we do?
	What do we do now?
	And then Hezbollah attacks, and Iran attacks.
	You know Israel will very likely not survive this, right?
	It may take a few years, but Israel will almost certainly be exterminated.
	By its neighbors because of what it's doing.
	Because it is sending a message.
	Israel communicates with bombs and Israel is saying to the world that we, Israel, are not compatible with peaceful civilization on this planet.
	It's a special kind of communication being pursued with 2,000 pound bombs.
	And believe me, the neighbors got the message.
	The neighbors are like, first chance we get, we're taking out Israel.
	I don't want to see that happen, just to be clear.
	Israel has committed its own suicide path.
	You know what I mean?
	Israel has...
	Well, Israel's going to reap what it has sown.
	And it's going to be devastating.
	I don't think Israel survives this.
	Like, five years?
	No.
	I think it's gone.
	I think it's toast.
	I think it's a smoking crater, actually.
	And then, you know, I guess the U.S. will say, oh my God, they're the victims, they're the victims again.
	No.
	They brought this upon themselves by doing things like bombing Rafa.
	If you don't want to get bombed, stop bombing people.
	The aid organization Mercy Corps said, quote, expanded air and ground operations into Rafa will unleash a humanitarian nightmare in Gaza, surpassing even the horror of the past four months.
	If people are forced to flee north from Rafa, they can only return to devastated areas that are littered with dangerous explosive devices and are virtually uninhabitable, they said.
	No services, no supplies, no sufficient aid response, and very little remaining infrastructure to sustain life.
	The journey, as it was when many fled south, will likely be incredibly dangerous.
	What we need now, this is again from the Mercy Corps, what we need now is a sustained ceasefire, end to the siege, and access for the massive scale-up of aid, not a new onslaught on a town of a million people.
	See, again, Israel is trying to provoke a military response.
	Maybe from Turkey, maybe from Iran, maybe from Hezbollah, they are trying to provoke.
	And they may get their wish.
	They may.
	Now, returning to the U.S., over the weekend, Alejandro Mayorkas, yeah, Homeland Security Secretary, and, of course, traitor to the United States of America, he claimed that the Biden administration does not bear responsibility for the border crisis.
	Yeah, that's what he said.
	We don't bear responsibility.
	What is he going to do, blame Trump?
	I mean, that's exactly what they're doing.
	They're blaming Trump.
	Even though Biden invited illegals to come in, you know, surged the border, Biden said.
	They terminated the national emergency that Trump had put in place.
	They've been reversing Trump executive orders.
	They refuse to deport people.
	They refuse to enforce the existing laws that have already been passed by Congress.
	I mean, who was it?
	I forgot which senator.
	They come up with 65 examples of how the Biden regime had violated its duty to protect the border.
	But Mallorcas, who, remember, is touring by helicopter the camps, the invasion camps in Panama, like San Vicente, which are funded in part by the U.S., by the Biden administration.
	They fund the invasion camps.
	And then Mallorcas says on TV that we don't bear responsibility for the invasion.
	You funded it.
	You paid for it.
	You set up the infrastructure of invasion camps.
	You know exactly what you're doing.
	These people are just shameless liars.
	Shameless liars!
	I mean...
	Frankly, this is a wartime invasion which makes these people treasonous criminals against the United States of America.
	They should be arrested.
	They should be arrested, not just impeached, but criminally indicted, investigated, and prosecuted for their deliberate complicity in building the invasion infrastructure that is currently overrunning America.
	But you've got to see this, the libtards in America.
	Oh, they can't wait to have the illegals come in and take over their homes.
	Yeah.
	There's a video from CBS News in Boston.
	I'm just going to play about 30 seconds for you.
	The channel on X called End Wokeness posted this, said a woke couple in Massachusetts signed up to host illegal migrants in their home.
	Within an hour, four illegals were dropped off at their doorstep by the state.
	It's like, what?
	You can sign up for illegals to come take over your home?
	Yeah, check this out.
	Ellen and Jessica Stokes called the state to sign up to be a host family.
	It took less than an hour for the displaced migrants to be dropped off at their door.
	I gotta get sheets on the bed.
	How many people are coming?
	Where are they from?
	What ages?
	We really knew nothing.
	The need is so clearly overwhelming.
	The family of four who didn't want to go on camera had been sleeping at Logan Airport.
	The parents and two kids journeyed from Chile to Texas, then Massachusetts, and there are so many stories like it.
	Boggles the mind that there are so many hundreds of those stories.
	Imagine that, folks.
	There are such woke tards in America that they won't criticize Biden for the open borders policy.
	They won't tell these people to go home or to come in legally, like apply for legal citizenship, go through the process.
	No, they will invite them into their home and I want to be careful what I say here, because I don't know these people.
	I'm sure they have the best of intentions, but they're naive, gullible, woke tards.
	And I hope that the worst case scenario does not happen to them, although I know the worst case scenario is going to happen to a lot of people.
	And that is, the illegals are going to murder some people in their sleep.
	It's like, oh, we're in your home now.
	Guess what?
	We're just going to murder you in your sleep, and then we're just going to squat and take your home.
	And believe me, the state of Massachusetts will allow that.
	The state of Massachusetts will say, well, it now belongs to the illegals.
	Well, they were already living there, right?
	So it's their home now.
	That's exactly what's going to happen.
	Would you invite some MS-13 gang members into your home?
	Come on in!
	We have to change the sheets for you!
	Can we do your dishes and laundry?
	Who's gullible enough to do that?
	Oh my goodness!
	I'm telling you, the depth of stupidity of liberals is infinite.
	It knows no bounds whatsoever.
	They will invite the invaders into their own homes, and they will end up, like I said, some of these people will end up getting murdered.
	I hope it doesn't happen.
	I hope it doesn't happen to this seemingly nice couple.
	I hope it all works out great for them.
	But I would ask them, well, if you're taking a family of four, how about, can you take 40?
	Can you take 400?
	You got a home for 400?
	Can...
	Will you sleep in a tent in the backyard while 100 people take over your home?
	How about 4,000 people?
	Can we just have your home?
	Because this is a replacement invasion, by the way.
	These virtue-signaling, gullible, white people have no idea what's coming.
	They have no idea they're being replaced.
	Out of the goodness of their bleeding liberal hearts, they think they're going to help people?
	No.
	No.
	It's sad to say, from the point of view of the illegals, it's people like this that are on the extermination list.
	You know, there's a really powerful movie that I encourage you to see.
	I was able to watch it.
	It's called American Fiction.
	And let's see.
	It stars Jeffrey Wright.
	Who does just a fantastic job in this.
	Now, if you're not familiar with Jeffrey Wright, the writer is Cord Jefferson and the director is Cord Jefferson also.
	Jeffrey Wright is a black American actor, very diverse, very talented.
	In this film, he plays a writer who's trying to sell manuscripts for very intelligent literature that he's authoring and is getting nowhere.
	And he finds out that the way to sell books in America is to pander to the white liberal virtue signaling libtards, basically, who want to think I
	don't even know if I can give an example.
	Actually, in the trailer for the movie, There's another black writer in the movie who's reading out an excerpt from her book, and it goes something like, Yo, Sharon!
	Where you be going?
	If you got to know, I'd be going to the pharmacy.
	It's like the most...
	How do you describe this?
	It's the way that woke-tard white people think black people talk.
	Okay?
	And, of course...
	Woke-tard liberal white people are the most racist of all, because this is what they think of black people.
	And then throughout the whole movie, which is almost making a total mockery of libtard, woke-tard white people, it shows how this guy, this writer, played by Jeffrey Wright, he tries to write the most insanely low-IQ, like...
	You know, caricature, black talk, street talk, gang talk book.
	He even calls it the F word.
	That's the title.
	He's just like bleep, you know, F word.
	That's the title.
	And throughout the whole movie, the white liberals, they love it.
	Oh my God, this is so wonderful.
	And the publisher loves it.
	And there's a movie director that loves it.
	And they make this guy pretty wealthy for writing this trash that he wrote as a joke.
	Because this is not what he wants to write.
	He doesn't want black people to be portrayed like this.
	I mean, his character.
	He wants to show...
	He wants to do serious literature just as a black American writer.
	But he finds out that the culture surrounding him, where the publishers and the movie directors and, you know, the book...
	Publicists and everything are all these libtard white people.
	They want black people to be in this black box where they want blacks to be the people who are shooting at cops and killing each other and drug dealers and everything because that's the way white liberals think about black people.
	So the film, I don't think it was intentionally trying to mock white virtue signaling libtards, but that's what it ended up doing.
	It was actually a really thoughtful film.
	What's funny is the Washington Post called it the best picture of the year, probably for a different reason.
	Probably the Washington Post didn't get it.
	I get it.
	I got it.
	The movie mocks white libtards.
	But it's a really important point in all of this.
	You know why white liberals can never really integrate with black people?
	Because they don't see them as the same.
	They don't see them as equals.
	Oh, they talk about equality and equity and justice.
	It's all just code words, virtue signaling bullcrap to white liberals.
	You want to know who really thinks of black people as equals?
	It's conservatives.
	Conservatives are based on a meritocracy.
	And I consider myself a conservative slash libertarian.
	A person's skin color doesn't matter to me at all.
	I judge people based on their merit, solely based on their merit.
	And thus, I see every person as potentially equal until they prove otherwise.
	You know what I'm saying?
	White liberals look at black people and all they see are drug dealers and cop murderers and criminals and, you know, felons.
	That's the way white people, white liberals look at blacks and it's shameful.
	It's shameful.
	And isn't it weird, by the way, that white liberals in America will do anything for illegals who are coming into America, but most of them will do nothing for the refugees that are being bombed to death in Gaza?
	It's like, you want to help people, why don't you help the Gazans?
	You know, why don't you call out Israel for its bombing camp?
	Oh, we can't speak out against Israel.
	Well, why not?
	Don't you have principles?
	Oh, let's just help the illegals coming into America.
	We just give them homes.
	Well, you want to know a bunch of people who need homes?
	There's about a million Palestinians that need homes right now.
	Why don't you take some of them in?
	Help people who need it the most.
	I thought you said you cared about refugees.
	And if you're listening, you're saying, well, Mike, what are you doing to help the Gazans?
	I'm calling for an end to the bombing.
	I'm putting pressure.
	Political pressure, public pressure.
	I'm publicizing the war crimes of Netanyahu and the IDF and the Zionists.
	I'm calling out everybody who's part of this, including Blinken and Biden and the whole U.S. government right now, the war machine, the weapons manufacturers.
	I'm calling them all out.
	I'm not sitting back and staying silent like most people.
	I'm calling them out.
	By the way, have you noticed that every movie now has to have a lesbian couple in it?
	For whatever reason.
	Every movie.
	Lesbian couple.
	No matter what the movie's about, there's always a lesbian couple and they always have to kiss.
	Or there's a gay couple.
	Gay dudes.
	Isn't it annoying that every movie has gone woke?
	As South Park said, you know, mocking Hollywood, put a ticket and make her gay!
	Like every movie, Star Wars, put a ticket and make her gay!
	It's like every movie you can think of.
	Ghostbusters, put a chick in there and make her gay!
	That's pretty much what all Hollywood does now.
	They just put chicks in them and make them gay.
	And then they call that a new movie.
	And it's stupid.
	And it's offensive.
	And that's why fewer and fewer people are even watching those kinds of movies.
	By the way, did you know that Moody's has downgraded Israel's credit rating?
	And they've downgraded Israel's economic outlook.
	You know why?
	Because, well, Israeli workers who are in the IDF are getting just slaughtered.
	I mean, Hamas has taken out a lot of Israeli armor and a lot of IDF soldiers.
	And, of course, Israel never tells the truth about how many are gone.
	But it looks like thousands of casualties have already been inflicted on the IDF.
	And Israel is not that big of a country.
	And, you know, Netanyahu has just told the military, hey, you know all the reservists that you let go?
	Bring them on back, because now we've got to bomb Rafa, and we've got to do a ground invasion of Rafa, and we've got to fight Hezbollah.
	So now they're calling them back up again!
	And Moody's took a look at that and said, essentially, I'm paraphrasing, but Moody's is saying that we're no longer convinced that Israel can pay back its debt in a reliable way.
	So they downgraded Israel's debt rating, which of course drove Netanyahu bonkers.
	Oh, it's an anti-Semitic attack on Israel.
	Yeah, so...
	Accounting now is anti-Semitic.
	If you can do math and assess risk, that's anti-Semitic.
	It's like 2 plus 2 equals 4 is anti-Semitic.
	Everything is anti-Semitic.
	And if you just criticize Israel, stop bombing children.
	Oh, you're an anti-Semite.
	It's insane.
	But with Moody's downgrading Israel's credit rating, it means Israel is going to have to pay more to sell its debt.
	Yeah.
	How do you think this is going to go?
	And the economic outlook is bad because, of course, well, Israel is losing so many of its young workers to the military operations and they're getting killed or they're getting injured.
	So Israel's economy is in a state of collapse at the moment.
	I'm not saying it's going to totally collapse, but I would say that economic output is on a collapsing decline at the moment for the last few months because of this.
	Now, will it recover?
	Perhaps, but not if Tel Aviv is a giant smoking crater.
	After, you know, Iran nukes Israel or whatever happens, because that's the path that everybody seems to be on right now.
	We don't want to see that happen, but my goodness, somebody needs to reel in Netanyahu, man.
	The people of Israel need to rise up and arrest that guy.
	Kind of like, you know, how some Germans in the Third Reich, they tried to arrest, or some of them, you know, historically, they tried to assassinate Hitler because they were so concerned about what Adolf Hitler was doing to their country and to the reputation of the German people and to the economy.
	And, of course, Hitler's war destroyed Germany's economy.
	Of course, fast forward to today, and now it's the USA destroying Germany's economy by destroying Nord Stream pipelines and cutting off a trade with Russia.
	But back then, it was Hitler destroying Germany's economy, and Hitler destroyed the reputation of the German people.
	Still to this day, people look back and cite the Holocaust and the actions of the Third Reich as the example of the most outrageous evil that has been inflicted on this planet.
	And we haven't seen anything as evil as that, that I can think of.
	Maybe the Vietnam War, I mean, it was evil in a different way, and definitely a smaller scale.
	But the Vietnam War was definitely evil, what America did to the Vietnamese people, dropping Agent Orange and so on.
	But now today, what Israel's doing to Gaza is...
	It's resonating in a dark way with the haunting memory of Hitler and the Holocaust.
	But now, it's the Zionists that are carrying it out.
	So, Moody said, you probably can't trust Israel's credit rating.
	And I don't blame them.
	I mean, again, how's Israel going to pay back its debt when it's a giant smoking crater?
	I mean, I can't tell you what to do, obviously, from a financial point of view, but if I had any investments in any Israeli companies, I would get out.
	I would sell everything.
	Because Israel's probably going to be one of the epicenters of World War III here coming up soon, based on these actions of what Netanyahu is doing.
	People are going to lose everything.
	Entire sectors of Israel's economy are going to be Well, obliterated, probably.
	Again, unless we change course.
	If somebody can pull us back from the brink here, it's not going to be Netanyahu, it's not going to be Biden, it's not going to be Blinken.
	If somebody can pull us back from the brink of annihilation, then maybe we can find some peace and stop the bombing and stop the killing and stop the economic destruction.
	But...
	When you see senators like Lindsey Graham, like, keep going!
	We need to bomb Iran!
	You know, keep on fighting!
	You know they're just charging forward towards doomsday.
	Same thing with Ukraine.
	The West is just, it's become a suicide cult.
	The USA and Israel together, some kind of weird twisted suicide cult.
	It's like they just want to be now nuked and destroyed by other countries like Russia or Iran or maybe China.
	Who knows?
	I mean, it's very weird to be living in a country run by suicide cultists, but that's the reality of where we are.
	Now, I've got something new to announce from our store that will help you prepare.
	Something brand new.
	Something that took a long time to put together.
	together, I had thought we were going to have it on Black Friday, which was months ago, and we didn't.
	It took much longer to get these ingredients in.
	But we now have available in our store, or maybe later today we will have it, or maybe tomorrow, it's the Health Rangers certified organic, wheat-free macaroni and cheese with no added salt.
	This is an amazing dish, okay?
	First of all, and we sell it, it's a pack, I think it's a pack of three in a mini bucket.
	Number one, there's no wheat in it.
	The macaroni is elbows made out of quinoa and amaranth, and they hold their shape.
	They don't get all mushy like the normal whole wheat macaroni.
	It's all gritty and mushy.
	Ugh, nasty.
	This stuff is good.
	The elbows, they're resilient.
	They hold their shape.
	You know, they cook very quickly.
	They boil up in less than 10 minutes.
	And then for the cheese sauce powder, so it's like a powder pack.
	But of course, we didn't use any garbage that you typically find from other stores.
	You know, they use like red and yellow dyes.
	And they have a bunch of like fake ingredients and a bunch of like MSG and loaded up with salt.
	It's just artificial crap, right?
	We don't do that.
	As you know, we don't do that at all.
	We have a certified organic cheddar cheese powder And then organic cream powder, organic butter powder, organic whey protein, then a little bit of black pepper and some onion powder, and no added salt.
	No added salt whatsoever.
	Now, there is some salt in the cheese powder, as you might imagine, but it's not very much.
	So, no added salt.
	We did not add salt to the ingredients at all.
	So, you just boil water.
	You put in the macaroni.
	You know, you've made macaroni and cheese.
	You boil water.
	And then you pour off whatever extra water if you have too much, and then you just blend in the cheese powder mix, and boom, you have macaron and cheese.
	Now, since we don't add any salt, we would call that a lower sodium recipe.
	It needs a little salt if you're used to having more savory types of foods.
	So add some salt, and it will bring out the flavor of the cheese quite a bit.
	Admittedly, the recipe is a little bit bland without the salt in it.
	Even I add a little bit of salt when I'm making this, and I don't add salt to anything.
	But again, we didn't put any extra salt in this at all, so it's very unsalted or...
	I mean, it's still got some sodium in it, but it tastes kind of bland.
	Anyway, just salt it to your taste, and it'll bring out all the flavors of the cheese and the cream and the butter, and then it's amazing.
	It's amazing.
	So check it out, healthrangerstore.com.
	Again, certified organic, wheat-free, laboratory-tested.
	I think it's available today.
	No artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no MSG yeast extract, none of that garbage.
	No fillers, no maltodextrin, nothing.
	And also no added salt.
	So it's also great for people who are on a low-sodium type of diet.
	You need to watch your sodium intake, or maybe someone in your family needs to watch their sodium, or this is the perfect product.
	So stock up now.
	This is one of those heavenly foods that...
	If the food supply gets cut off and you have to eat your stored foods, when you find this bucket of the Health Rangers wheat-free macaroni and cheese, you're going to be like, yes, score!
	This is the good stuff!
	So check it out and thank you for your support.
	You're really going to enjoy this.
	In fact, I know a lot of people are going to buy this and just eat it on a routine basis because it's so clean, man.
	I mean, the ingredients are just so simple and so clean.
	There's nothing that you don't recognize.
	There's no weird chemicals or any kind of garbage or artificial anything.
	Not even, quote, natural flavors.
	No hidden anything.
	Just simple, clean food.
	Okay?
	And then also, briefly, since World War III does look like it's, well, an increasing risk of breaking out, look at what's happening with Israel bombing Rafah now.
	Who knows where all this is going to go, and also the wide-open U.S.-Southern border.
	Make sure you've got backup communications.
	Check out the satellite phone store, sat123.com.
	And make sure you have backup money.
	Definitely check out Goldbacks.
	You can see our affiliate site at verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	That's plural, verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	You'll see what Goldbacks are.
	They have actual physical 24-karat gold embedded into each bill.
	They have intrinsic value inside the bill.
	And since we did the laboratory test to determine how much gold they contain and the purity of the gold that they contain, I show you all those lab tests on that website.
	Check it out.
	It's good to have off-grid money.
	And gold and silver are, I think, very good forms of off-grid money because they will work when the banks go down or the power grid goes down or there's a bank bail-in or there's a currency failure.
	The people that actually have gold and silver in any form Are going to do, I think, exceedingly well compared to those that will lose everything because they kept it all in dollars in the bank or in the stock market or, you know, it's owed to them in a pension fund or what have you.
	When those things, there are going to be a lot of Americans who wish they would have acquired some real money, gold and silver.
	Anyway, do your own research.
	I'm not your financial advisor.
	That's my disclaimer.
	And, of course, there are financial risks in any kind of assets.
	But I'm not even promoting it as an investment.
	I'm not a speculator.
	I just like to sort of hit pause on assets and not lose money on them.
	Whereas if you hold dollars, you're going to lose money every day.
	Why?
	Because, well, the Senate is passing this $90 billion of just, it's like a free money bonanza giveaway to all the other countries.
	Come on down!
	Have some free billions of American taxpayer dollars, you know?
	Or just the money printing madness Monday machine, and boom, it's all over.
	Here's $60 billion for you, and you're a winner, Israel, and you're a winner, Taiwan.
	It's like Oprah handing out money flying everywhere, all of this.
	You're a winner too, Ukraine.
	$60 billion.
	Everybody's a winner except the American people.
	You're all losers.
	You know, that's the way the establishment looks at the American people.
	You're all losers.
	You know, you're going to be replaced.
	Invite the illegals into your home so they can murder you in your sleep.
	Goodbye.
	You know, that's their attitude.
	It's insane.
	Everybody's a winner except you.
	Except the American people.
	The ones, you know, paying the taxes and footing the bill.
	We're getting screwed constantly every single day.
	By this criminal regime in charge.
	My goodness.
	Handed out money all over the world like it's freaking Halloween candy.
	Give me a break.
	Hey, Israel, pay your own bills.
	Hey, Ukraine, pay your own bills.
	Same thing for Taiwan.
	Pay your own bills.
	Why do you need all this free money from the U.S.? We've had enough.
	We've supported...
	National welfare around the world for long enough.
	Cut off Israel, cut off Ukraine, cut off Taiwan.
	Spend money on the U.S. border.
	Once you solve that, pay down the debt.
	Once you've paid down the debt, then if you have extra money, then we can talk about where you want to give it away.
	In the meantime, focus on America because it's the American people that are paying the taxes.
	For God's sake, right?
	Alright, now joining me For an in-studio interview featuring my dog, Rhodey, who at one point, he won't leave me alone, so Michael and I take a five-minute break and we just go out and...
	Toss the rings for my dog, and he comes back all huffing and puffing.
	You'll hear him in the background.
	He's like, we wore him out, man.
	Anyway, Michael Yan joins me in studio for an in-depth discussion about the open border situation and the treason being committed against the United States of America by the, well, the so-called, well, the pretenders in the Biden administration who, none of whom were actually elected, the pretenders in the Biden administration who, none of whom were actually elected, They stole their positions and now they're weaponizing them against America to see America invaded and overrun and destroyed.
	That's what you're watching.
	Michael Yan knows it more than anybody.
	So give it a listen.
	It's about, I think it's about 90 minutes.
	So enjoy, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
	God bless America.
	Take care.
	Welcome to today's featured interview here on BrightTown.com.
	I am thrilled to be joined in studio today by Michael Yan, war 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.
	Hiest, 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.
	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, the Because SpaceX is right on the Mexico border.
	You can see the launch complex from Mexico.
	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 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 your resources are.
	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 for you.
	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 go.
	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 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.
	And specifically, he wanted to bring me because he knew I could bring artillery fire on it, right?
	Right.
	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.
	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 Ann Vandersteel and Doc 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.
	Right?
	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, now 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.
	But Brett, he's quite close with RFK, right?
	Bobby, right?
	So now you see Bobby getting hardcore on it, right?
	I just took Brett down there and he got it immediately.
	Now he's very smart, as is Chris Martinson.
	So 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, well, actually Chris Martinson's Peak Prosperity.
	He's got a lot of stuff out there.
	But also...
	Just 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.
	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.
	Here comes big dog.
	Oh, yeah.
	Let me take this guy down to Panama.
	I'll 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.
	And so it's interesting.
	By the way, Brett Weinstein did his Ph.D. work in Panama.
	And interestingly, he called me up before we went, and he goes, he said something like, you'll probably find this boring, but I want to take like a side detour and go in the jungle and look for these tent-making bats.
	And he's probably never heard of it.
	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.
	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.
	They'll 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 out.
	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?
	Is 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've got to 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 can 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.
	There's no in-between at this point.
	Yeah, and people often ask, 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 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.
	Let me...
	Only because you're a dog person, so it's okay.
	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.
	All right, crazy dog.
	Now he's got water.
	Yeah.
	One of my first babysitters was Duchess, our German Shepherd.
	She wouldn't 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 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 protests.
	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.
	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.
	And 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 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.
	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.
	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.
	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, 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 generation younger than me, but in my family, and they found them dead.
	And it was fentanyl.
	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, God.
	Yeah, and Philadelphia, 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.
	Wow.
	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, 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, wow!
	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.
	Straight up.
	Domestic war?
	Across America?
	I think it'll be...
	You know, wars are...
	One thing about war is...
	The two predictable things about war is they grow, and they grow unpredictably.
	I mean, those are the two.
	After that, everything's up for grabs.
	I mean, for instance, every time you see these military analysts 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, I don't even pay attention to those guys.
	They don't make the initial cut.
	Because, 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.
	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 hanging 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, like the south of Baghdad and Najaf and all that.
	But some other areas, but weirdly not the city of mosques, which is Fallujah, right?
	And so, 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 of 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.
	If you go to...
	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.
	And 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 current 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.
	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.
	But let's...
	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 stomped.
	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, and 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.
	You and I don't agree on every single thing, but we have points and experience to kind of support what we're saying.
	They're hardcore against Israel.
	I think you guys are over the top.
	These are Orthodox Jews.
	But over time, I've seen actually...
	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?
	That's...
	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 Darien Gath 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...
	Skyrocket.
	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 the, 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?
	Yeah, yeah.
	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.
	Fair enough.
	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.
	I'm watching you have more and more Islamic enclaves that are quite fundamentalist, actually, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	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 Hespollah, right?
	And so the Hespollah 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...
	The actions that look like genocide.
	I mean, it's clearly genocide that Israel's 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 in the West Bank.
	Did the IDF do that?
	The 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, 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?
	Because we're learning the 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, dressing up 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 can end up isolated.
	Well, Blinken can 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.
	Just tell me what the reaction is.
	Because this is...
	You know, kind of a...
	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 Speed.
	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 decentralizing.
	You 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, man?
	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 answer 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.
	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 that's downloadable is called Resilient Prepping.
	And I thought about this economy.
	I thought that a lot of cities, like, 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.
	Oh, interesting.
	Kind of like the way that they do, like, the storage facilities.
	Oh, right.
	You have access to, like, 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 would be happening across all the cities.
	What's happening with these jabs?
	I mean, the cancers and these things that people keep dying of.
	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 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.
	It's 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, it 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, I think.
	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 pressure.
	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, same, 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?
	Yeah.
	We don't mess with the...
	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 they...
	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, 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.
	You're kidding me.
	What's that?
	You're kidding me.
	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 guest.
	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 ten 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, 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?
	Yeah.
	He'll talk your ear off, man.
	He knows all about this stuff.
	Yeah.
	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.
	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?
	Yeah.
	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 will 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.
	So thanks for giving us some That's something new to worry about.
	When I'm developing information networks to figure out the spider web, I always go to veterinarians.
	So if I see a veterinarian in a crowd, I'm like, hello, my name's Michael Yon.
	And I want to know 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.
	Every time I turn around.
	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.
	Those are apocalypse survivors.
	Oh, the Mennonites, man, and the Amish.
	I've interacted with them, especially Amish, quite a lot.
	I respect them.
	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, and I had already been told that if they're selling peanuts, they did something bad.
	That's their punishment.
	That's the punishment.
	And if it's really bad, they make you take your shoes off and not wear shoes for 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.
	I've never run into 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 here.
	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, you know, 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.
	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...
	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.
	I don't know, wet it down or something.
	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.
	You've mentioned many of them.
	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 there's a couple 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 them.
	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 sprays.
	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, 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 how 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?
	I'll fix that later.
	Because before that, I didn't believe that they had the amount that was claimed.
	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, 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?
	Yeah.
	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.
	Okay, anyway.
	Yeah.
	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 duty.
	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 ready for round two now.
	He's fully recovered now.
	After he splashed the table.
	Yeah, he's good.
	Look at his footprints.
	He's ready.
	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 Yon.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com, free speech video platform.

	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.
