	Okay, wow.
	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Thursday, March 7th, 2024.
	Mike Adams here.
	Thank you for joining me.
	I have had a very intense day, incredibly productive, got a lot of updates for you, including a couple of project updates that are good, overall good.
	But we are on the verge of just some unprecedented chaos.
	New York City has mobilized a thousand National Guard troops to patrol the subway system there.
	Did you ever think...
	Yeah, if you listen to this podcast, you probably did know that.
	But the Governor Hochul announced that they're nationalizing a thousand National Guard troops.
	So tweeted out by Colin Rugg, just in, violent crime is getting so bad in New York City subways that Governor Kathy Hochul is deploying a thousand total National Guardsmen, state police and MTA police to patrol them.
	Liberal policies have consequences, says that 750 members of the National Guard and 250 state troopers will now be checking bags at subway entrances.
	What?
	Checking bags?
	What is this?
	The underground TSA?
	Last month, an additional 1,000 NYPD officers were ordered to patrol the subways.
	NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper claims subway arrests are up 45%.
	Hochul is also begging district attorneys to keep repeat offenders out of the subways.
	Yeah, right. - Well, that's what happens when you have George Soros-funded liberal DAs.
	They let violent criminals back on the streets.
	And you know who New York City probably really misses right now?
	Rudy Giuliani.
	Yeah.
	Love him or hate him, Giuliani cleaned up New York City.
	He cleaned it up.
	He stopped.
	Well, I mean, not he alone, but his policies along with law enforcement really took a bite out of crime, as they say, and New York City became a much better place to live.
	After a couple years of Rudy Giuliani, but all that's been reversed by the Democrats, and now you've got a thousand National Guard troops and MTA police and state police patrolling the subways.
	I told you, Battlefield America!
	Remember, Steve Quayle and I did that recording back in 2022.
	We said, America's going to be turned into a battlefield.
	You're going to see soldiers on the streets.
	And, in fact, we subtitled that 2022 through 2024.
	And here it is, 24,000 troops underground in the subway system in New York City.
	Now, New York City, well, New York in general also has another major problem that's breaking today.
	And you notice gold is spiking yet again, all-time high.
	Bitcoin is spiking.
	We'll get to that in a second.
	But here's a story from 100% FedUp.
	Bank runs imminent.
	NYCB trading halted.
	That's the New York Community Bank Corp.
	Trading halted.
	Seeks emergency $1 billion in funding.
	I think they may have received that billion dollars today as a stopgap measure.
	But here's the story from Noah.
	I've been shouting from the rooftops that the banking crisis of last year was not over.
	And I've been specifically warning you that New York Community Bank is not safe, not out of the woods.
	Well, sadly, it looks like I was right again because this just broke.
	New York Community Bank stock trading halted after crashing 42% today.
	In one day.
	From the Kobisi letter.
	K-O-B-E-I-S-S-I. I'm not familiar with the Kobisi letter, but apparently it's a financial newsletter.
	Says, New York Community Bank just five days ago, quote, the company has strong liquidity and a solid deposit base.
	And then reports on NYCB today, looking to raise capital to restore confidence.
	Yeah, sound familiar?
	Remember last March?
	Uh-huh.
	Noah writes, it's always the opposite of whatever they try to tell you.
	I can see this one a mile away.
	And I warn you about it right here on March 1st.
	Now CNBC reports a new $1 billion in funding has been secured.
	Struggling regional lender New York Community Bank Corp announced a $1 billion capital raise and a leadership shake-up on Wednesday, headlined by former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, leading to a sharp rebound for its stock.
	So...
	Someone applied a tourniquet, basically, as the bank was bleeding out.
	And that got some investors excited, like, maybe it won't bleed out all the way, you know?
	So they're putting money into it now, or somebody put some bailout money, capital raise.
	Yeah, I wonder where that came from.
	This does not inspire confidence among people who might be depositors, especially when you know about the great taking and the great reset and bank bail-ins and bank holidays and bank freezes and all these scary things that look to be in the process of happening.
	So as the dollar is collapsing and the Western banking system is collapsing, we also have news Today from Russia.
	Very interesting sort of crypto related news about the BRICS system.
	Make sure I've got that.
	Oh yeah, we're going to get to that here in just a minute.
	That's huge news.
	But what's spiking is gold and Bitcoin and other crypto.
	So gold now, I believe it's an all-time record high.
	It hit 2160 or almost that, 2159.
	Gold has spiked up from about the 2040 level from the first week of March to now $2,160 in, well, it's still the first week.
	It's just past the first week of March.
	Okay.
	So in just a few days, gold has skyrocketed.
	It's almost like limited up.
	Somebody's buying a lot of gold.
	Billionaires are buying gold.
	And then a similar thing has been happening with Bitcoin.
	If you look at late April, Bitcoin was about $52,000, $51,000.
	Now it surpassed $68,000.
	It's leveled off at about $66,000 right now.
	I'm not saying, by the way, that you should speculate in Bitcoin.
	As you know, I mean, look, Bitcoin is going to outlast the dollar.
	There's no question about that.
	And Bitcoin, I think, is going to serve as the basis for a kind of, well, the kind of technology that is going to power the future of money and financial freedom on our planet.
	Government-printed central bank currencies are going to be obliterated by blockchain technology, or more accurately, decentralized ledgers, so that no government can counterfeit the money.
	You know what?
	In fact, let me just get to the announcement from the Russian news agency, because this is really important to understand.
	Kremlin announces creation of a blockchain-based payment system in BRICS. Okay, kaboom, kaboom.
	This should be setting off like fireworks in your brain.
	Work will continue to develop the contingent reserve arrangement, primarily regarding the use of currencies different from the U.S. dollar.
	Yeah, because no one wants the U.S. dollar.
	From the story, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov says, That's a pretty macho sounding name right there who says, quote, What
	he's saying here is that what if we created a distributed ledger, blockchain-based, non-counterfeitable, and also by definition, non-confiscatable, blockchain currency settlement system that can be used by governments, businesses, and, he says specifically, common people.
	And what if it were backed by a basket of commodities, by the way, like energy from Russia and gold from China, who knows, steel, aluminum, crops, fertilizer?
	What if it were backed by commodities?
	How fast would you dump dollars to buy into this kind of system?
	I mean, I couldn't do it fast enough.
	I'd be like, how quickly can I wire my entire dollar balance into this, you know, BRICS blockchain system?
	Because that's what's going to work.
	The dollar is going to collapse.
	In the meantime, you know, it's good to get your hands on gold and silver as well.
	Silver is also really moving right now.
	Silver, let's see, $24?
	Over $24?
	I've got to get John Perez back on.
	Silver is money!
	On Telegram, John Perez, he must be celebrating.
	I'm missing out.
	I've got to connect with him and watch him drink champagne or something because silver has moved up to $24.
	But getting back to Ushakov in Russia, he says the specific task for this year is to increase the role of BRICS in the international monetary and financial system.
	And he said that in the 2023 Johannesburg Declaration, the leaders set the focus of BRICS countries on increasing settlements in national currencies and strengthening correspondent banking networks to secure international transactions.
	Basically, look, the short story here is...
	The U.S. weaponized the dollar too much.
	The U.S. tried to destroy Russia by shutting off Russia from the SWIFT system.
	The U.S. bludgeoned the rest of the world with economic sanctions which are based on control over the dollar and control over SWIFT and control over banking systems, control over currencies.
	And pretty much the entire rest of the world is now saying...
	We're done.
	We're done with the dollar.
	We're done with the Western banking system.
	In fact, we're done with the whole idea that one nation can weaponize the system against any other nation, and we, the rest of the world, I don't know what you want to call it, the global majority, perhaps?
	Let's just call it that.
	The global majority, the Chinese, the Russians, the Indians, the Turkish people, the people of South America, all over.
	They are saying, we need a system that no government can weaponize, that no government can counterfeit, but that we can use for international settlements and it needs to be distributed blockchain technology and that will create global economic prosperity and they're right and it will crush the dollar.
	It will absolutely crush the dollar.
	I'm going to be doing an emergency interview, I think on Friday, with Chris Olson, the founder of the Treasure Island Company, to get an update on gold supplies, silver supplies, the coin situation, and so on.
	They are our sponsor in the space of gold and silver coins, so if you want to check them out, go to metalswithmike.com.
	I will publish that update probably either on Sunday or Monday morning.
	Most likely Monday morning.
	So watch for that coming Monday morning, an emergency update.
	I'm also reaching out to Steve Quayle.
	See if we can get Steve on for an update on Battlefield America.
	An update two years later to see where we are now and what it's looking like for the next year.
	Because it's going to get crazy crazy.
	Let me give you a couple of updates here on some projects, and then we've got some other breaking news.
	So first, good news.
	Well, no, let me give you the kind of bad news first, and then we'll end with good news.
	Okay.
	It's not really that bad of news, but I do want to give you a heads up.
	It's possible that our AI project might be slightly delayed, perhaps by two weeks.
	I'm not certain yet.
	We're still making a ton of progress.
	We still have about three weeks remaining in March when I want to hit the target to release the first model.
	We may make that.
	However, we just developed a vastly improved method for training the models on spoken word content.
	And it turns out that, well, spoken word content like this podcast is...
	In its raw form, it's not that great for training AI models, and we've found that out.
	Some of you in machine learning are probably laughing, like, we could have told you that!
	Because the spoken word is filled with a lot of things like am, and, I, I, I, but, and, and people interrupting each other.
	And when you train AI models like that, and then you try to query them, they reply to you like, am, am, I, I, but, but, but, and, and, like, what?
	Where did you learn that?
	And they're like, learn it from you!
	So we have developed a much better processing, well, a data pipeline process for the spoken word, and that has set us back about two weeks in terms of having to go back to some retraining.
	On some earlier epochs of our models.
	So the good news is it's going to be much better.
	We may still make it by the end of the month, but I just want to give you a heads up.
	Just to alert you, it's possible we could delay one week.
	It's possible we could delay two weeks.
	But I do not think there'll be any delay longer than two weeks.
	So that's the bad news.
	All right.
	Now here's some good news.
	Well, I guess one piece of good news is that we figured out a better way to train the spoken word, so that's really awesome, which means we can use a lot of spoken word content from videos and seminars and podcasts and all kinds of interviews, things like that, and now can very effectively extract the knowledge from the spoken word and put it into the AI system.
	So that's great news.
	We've figured that out.
	I don't know anybody else who has done it as well as we have.
	Maybe, probably, You know, OpenAI and Microsoft and Google, they probably already figured this out, but they're not telling anybody how to do it.
	And we had to figure it out on our own because they have unlimited budgets and huge buildings full of engineers.
	But anyway, we finally figured it out.
	All right.
	Other good news.
	Remember how I said a week ago that we weren't going to be able to do the dioxin testing in our lab?
	Here's the good news.
	We are going to be able to do dioxin testing.
	So I was able to meet with some companies today, and there are solutions now that will do what we need.
	So I had announced that I was kind of giving up on dioxin testing because, well, first of all, we already have the gas chromatography triple quad instrument in our lab sitting there for this.
	And this is a very popular instrument.
	I was told today that one company has 30 of these.
	They've got 30 GC triple quads, and they're just running dioxins all day long, and PCBs, which is what it's also good at testing.
	But we were having a lot of trouble with the sample prep process.
	And sample prep, I'm not going to go into geek details here, but dioxins are found in meats and eggs and milk and what are known as high lipid samples.
	In other words, sort of Fatty acids, fat tissues from animals and their products like egg yolks and things like that.
	That's where you find dioxins.
	It's a fat-soluble toxin.
	So sample prep with fats or lipids, as we say, is incredibly complex.
	It's difficult.
	And it's very time-consuming, and it's very difficult to clean up.
	It's called sample cleanup in order to remove the lipids from the sample, but not remove the dioxins.
	So you end up with a really clear liquid that's got your dioxins in it, and that's what you run in the instrument.
	That process, I found out today there are some solutions for us that would give us the throughput that we needed.
	Where we can run...
	You know, hundreds of samples every couple of weeks or something like that, just on dioxins.
	So that's the good news.
	Our dioxin project is back on.
	I'm relieved since we already spent the money on the GC instrument, and that's already installed and running, by the way, and that was not some small pocket change, trust me.
	So I didn't want to give that up.
	But anyway, that's great news.
	So dioxins are back on, and our AI project might be slightly delayed, but we've improved the data pipeline, so it's all good news.
	Okay, one other thing I want to make you aware of this Saturday, Dr.
	Tenpenny, Sherry Tenpenny, her course begins airing on Brighton University.
	So go to brightu.com and you can sign up there to watch it for free.
	It's 20-plus mechanisms of vaccine injury.
	It's the full webinar, free to watch.
	A new episode runs each day beginning this Saturday, just two days away here.
	And each day's episode just repeats in a loop.
	And then the next day, a new episode starts airing, and that repeats in a loop.
	You also have the option to purchase the entire webinar as a download, and then you can give it to your friends as well.
	You can show it at a church group or whatever you want.
	You just can't use it commercially.
	But you're free to share it with other family members, friends, coworkers.
	Help educate them.
	And you help support Dr.
	Sherry Tenpenny, and you're helping to support Brighttown University if you choose to purchase the download with the bonuses.
	But that's optional.
	If money's tight, you can watch the whole thing for free.
	And that's the Brighttown University model.
	And we've had a tremendous number of people.
	You know, we've had over a million views.
	I mean, easily.
	It may be multiple millions at this point, but easily over a million people watch Brighttown University programs.
	What am I thinking?
	It's way over a million.
	But anyway, brightu.com is the website, and it's a very popular way to learn for free.
	Okay, we're going to go to the federal tracking of all cattle.
	In just a moment, some big warnings about that.
	But there's one other headline that my co-host of Decentralized TV, Todd Pitner, sent me from Coindesk.
	Bricks will create payment system based on digital currencies and blockchain.
	So that's basically the same story that I just covered from TAS, the Russian news agency.
	But I just mention this because...
	News about this is trickling into the crypto community.
	And right now, everybody in crypto is super thrilled because they're all, at least on paper, well, not on paper, but on their screens, they're getting rich again.
	You know, Bitcoin hasn't been this high since before the days of SBF and the collapse of his Ponzi crypto scheme.
	And that dude's in jail, by the way.
	Apparently, he's lost a lot of weight, too.
	I saw a photo of him and He looked like he was thinning down in prison quite a bit.
	I wonder if it's because the other felons are taking his lunch tray, you know?
	You see that in the movies.
	Some big, hulking, 250-pound muscle dude is like, give me that lasagna, you know?
	SBF is like, I was going to save the world, but I guess you can have my lasagna.
	Alright, if you like, I could issue you tokens for my lasagna.
	Would you accept tokens?
	Hell no!
	Give me lasagna!
	You know, crypto doesn't work in the prison barter system.
	What works are like cigarettes and food.
	Alright, here's a warning from Representative Thomas Massey citing a new federal rule.
	Here it is.
	It's the Federal Animal Disease Traceability Rule 9 CFR 86.
	And the agreement directs the department to continue to provide the tags and related infrastructure needed to comply with the federal animal disease traceability rule, including no less than $15 million for electronic identification tags.
	They're going to tag the cattle with basically RFID and related infrastructure needed for stakeholders to comply with the proposed rule.
	Use of electronic identification ear tags as official identification in cattle and bison.
	88 FR 3320.
	I love trying to read these federal rules.
	It's like nothing is named as what it really is.
	So basically, under the guise of an animal pandemic, they're going to track and trace all the cattle.
	Why would they want to track and trace all the cattle, huh?
	Well, think about it.
	Why do they want to track and trace you?
	Because they want to get rid of you.
	This is why they want to track and trace cattle, because they want to get rid of all the cattle.
	As Dr.
	Vernon Coleman writes at vernoncoleman.com, quote, soon there will be no farms.
	It's part of their terrifying plan.
	He writes...
	Oh, by the way, I wrote a story on naturalnews.com.
	And since I haven't been writing very many stories lately, this is kind of notable.
	You might want to check it out.
	It's called The Democracy-Hating Fascist Left is on a Collision Course with Trump's Election Victory.
	Here's why America will be turned into an active war zone in the next 12 months.
	So if you get a chance, be sure to check out that story on naturalnews.com.
	But getting back to Vernon Coleman here, he writes that the innocent and the naive believe that everything is happening by accident.
	Farmers around the world seem constantly bewildered and confused by policies and decisions that are designed to please the enthusiasts calling for the closure of farms in order to appease the psychopaths calling for net zero.
	In an article in a British magazine, which, like others, seems to have fallen for the green myths with all the mindless commitment of a teenager in love, one leading green academic recently said, farming has no option.
	It will have to be sustainable, otherwise it will not be sustained.
	And there were doubtless many green heads nodding, though I confess I was merely left puzzled.
	Confused farmers describe new government policies as vindictive, senseless, cruel, destructive, insane, bureaucratic, dangerous, and just plain bewildering.
	Farmers are encouraged to follow biodynamic farming methods whereby herbal and mineral preparations are used together with an astronomical calendar to guide sowing and harvesting dates.
	Nowhere is there more incomprehensive jargon than there now is intruding into the world of farming.
	I'm mad.
	This is hilarious.
	He goes on, the conspirator's plan is to reduce the amount of land available for growing food in order to create food shortages, starvation, and a consequent inevitable reduction in the size of the global population.
	There you go.
	Now, by the way, I'm a fan of permaculture.
	I'm a fan of what's called regenerative agriculture.
	We don't have to kill the soil to grow food.
	We don't have to use pesticides and herbicides, by the way.
	We would have more long-term food production if we take care of the soil.
	So I do want to be clear about that.
	However, the attack on farms across Europe and now the United States is clearly part of an engineered famine plan.
	Mass depopulation, starvation, is exactly what is being unleashed against us all.
	And as part of that depopulation plan, of course, we know that so-called vaccines were deliberately turned into bioweapons to cause infertility and depopulation.
	And there's a story by Dr.
	Michael Nevrodakis, perhaps, from the defender at childrenshealthdefense.com.
	New law would make COVID vaccine makers liable for injuries and deaths.
	Children's Health Defense is among organizations that support a bill introduced Tuesday by Representative Chip Roy of Texas.
	Go, Texas.
	Go, Chip Roy.
	We do like Chip Roy, by the way.
	I don't mention him enough, but he deserves a lot of credit.
	Chip Roy's doing some good work.
	That would remove the liability shield for manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines and open the door for vaccine-injured Americans to sue companies like Pfizer and Moderna.
	Oh yeah!
	Can you imagine how rapidly the vaccine industry would collapse if they had to pay the damages that they cause?
	You know, if they were held liable for all the people that they maim and injure and kill, vaccine companies would go out of business so fast.
	I mean, it would be bigger than anything that ever was unleashed against big tobacco.
	So, from the story, Representative Chip Roy introduced the bill, the Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered Act.
	That acronym is LIABLE. That's pretty clever right there.
	L-I-A-B-L-E. Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered Act, Liable Act, would allow Americans who took vaccines that were misleadingly promoted and forced onto many Americans via federal mandates to pursue civil litigation for their injuries.
	The summary of the bill said, quote, CHD President Mary Holland said, quote, This legislation is crucial
	for holding vaccine manufacturers accountable.
	The proposed legislation would remove all federal liability protections for the COVID-19 vaccine.
	It would preserve the ability of injured Americans to access pre-existing compensation programs.
	And it would be retroactive, allowing Americans vaccinated and injured before the bill's passage to sue.
	Oh yeah!
	So, call your representatives and ask them to support the Liable Act to hold vaccine makers liable for the damage that they have caused.
	Representative Chip Roy said millions of Americans were forced to take the COVID-19 shot out of fear of losing their livelihoods and under false pretenses.
	True.
	All right, moving on to other news.
	The armorer on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie, Rust, has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
	Her name is apparently Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
	And she, again, she was found guilty.
	She's facing, I think, up to 18 months in prison, 26 years old, 12-member jury, of course.
	She was charged with evidence tampering after investigators accused her of passing off a bag of cocaine on the day of the shooting.
	What?
	Was Hunter Biden on the set?
	What's going on?
	Anyway, I guess there was live ammunition and cocaine on the set.
	Not a good combination for filming movies.
	Alec Baldwin, of course, it was his...
	Well, he's the star.
	I think it was his production company that was involved.
	Alec Baldwin himself has not been found guilty of any criminal offense that I'm aware of.
	But this is the first criminal guilty verdict of anyone involved in that film.
	So...
	You know, as I say, guns don't kill people.
	Alec Baldwin kills people with guns, and apparently the armorer was involved, and there was cocaine somewhere on the set.
	So what's the real lesson here?
	What's the takeaway from this?
	The fact that the armorer has been found guilty of manslaughter, but Alec Baldwin hasn't been found guilty of anything?
	What's the lesson?
	If you're going to have guns and cocaine and shoot people on a movie set, make sure you're rich so you can afford really good lawyers.
	That's the lesson from the Alec Baldwin movie.
	Just make note.
	Okay, let's move over to Europe.
	By the way, I've got an interview coming up for you today.
	I think I'm going to run the interview.
	Since there's so much chaos in America and troops now in the subway system in New York City, cops being attacked, violence on the rise, and we're being invaded by millions of illegals.
	I think I'm going to run the interview that I just did with a company that I discovered last year and that I became a customer and then a fan.
	And they are called 1791gunleather.com is their website.
	And what's interesting about this is I've been wearing their holster now for, it seems like it's longer than six months.
	And it's the only holster that just doesn't break.
	And it's leather, but inside the leather is a polymer that you can form into the shape around your pistol.
	So it can fit really any gun, any shape, any kind of retention that you want to put onto it.
	It's amazing.
	It's a home-customized holster, and you can reshape it to fit different pistols.
	Anyway, they're not a sponsor.
	We don't have a sponsorship relationship with this company.
	I just love to promote this company, and so I invited them for an interview, and they've got some new stuff to announce, and they've got some really great gear, not just the Outside the waistband holster and inside waistband holsters, but also they've got a chest rig and they've got a shoulder holster.
	And they've come up with some really cool things, very functional things.
	And I think right now, more than ever, we need people to carry, you know, legally, of course.
	Check your local laws and get a concealed carry permit if that's what you need or if that's what you want.
	I have a permit, of course, in Texas.
	Not that I need one, but...
	That way, if I ever have to interact with law enforcement, I show them my permit and then they know I'm not a felon.
	Unlike the armor on the rust set.
	Because that's a felony, isn't it?
	Involuntary manslaughter, I'm pretty sure, yeah.
	Okay, so 1791 gun leather, that's the interview that is coming up.
	But let's go over to Europe first from Reuters.
	Here's a story that's almost laughable.
	EU aims to shift European arms industry to, quote, war economy mode.
	What?
	The European Commission says that Europe needs to shift into a war economy.
	Right?
	And with what energy, is my question, and with what labor force, and with what industry?
	Because everybody's leaving Europe.
	All the industry is shutting down, no energy.
	The government regulators are insane.
	The taxation is off the charts.
	I mean, oh, and now we want to build weapons all of a sudden, really?
	Good luck with that.
	So Terry Breton, the European Industry Commissioner, is going to lay out proposals to encourage EU countries to buy more weapons from European countries.
	He says, quote, we need to change the paradigm and move into war economy mode.
	And this means that the European defense industry must take more risks with our support.
	Hey, I got a great idea.
	How about first you get those propellers to work on the British aircraft carriers?
	The British Royal Navy, what you do, somebody forgot to wind up the rubber band.
	You've got to wind up the rubber band down there.
	It takes a couple of Navy divers.
	You wind it up, and then when you let go, the propellers will give you some thrust.
	That's the secret to the Queen Elizabeth right there.
	And what's the other one?
	Prince of Wales?
	HMS? Prince of Wales or whatever?
	And then somebody also needs to get the torpedoes to launch properly instead of suffering from...
	Premature ejection, which is the current diagnosis of the British submarine nuclear missile launches.
	They all suffer from premature ejection or premature plopping into the ocean.
	Somebody forgot to, I guess, put rockets on them or something.
	I wonder if the EU's wartime economy would just end up manufacturing more crap that doesn't work.
	That would be hilarious.
	Because that's what Europe is really good at right now, is manufacturing stuff that does not work.
	Or just not making anything at all, other than paperwork.
	You know, if paperwork could win wars, the British would have never lost control over the world.
	Nobody can come up with paperwork like the British.
	I don't know what it is about being British.
	Some of you who are British, you're listening to this, you're either laughing or crying or both.
	You're like, oh my god, it's so true.
	What is it about British and how they love their paperwork, man?
	Even people who are pro-government in America, they visit the UK, they're like, man, that's a lot of paperwork.
	Is there a form for everything?
	Absolutely every single thing?
	Like, if I turn on the TV, I gotta have paperwork for that?
	Anyway, apparently somebody found a form that said that they're not manufacturing enough ammunition, and so they're trying to figure out how to do that.
	Meanwhile, Russia's 20 years ahead on building artillery, ammunition, gunpowder, steel, hypersonic missiles, all that stuff, and the EU is trying to play catch-up when they have no energy and nobody wants to work.
	And their society is being overrun, just like the US. So I guess they think they can just print more money and print their way out of this.
	And they're saying they need 1.5 billion euros.
	Really?
	What is that?
	1.63 billion US dollars.
	That's it?
	That's what they're going to invest in the new wartime economy of Europe?
	That's not going to keep up with Russia because that's spread out over many years.
	That's not going to keep up with Russia.
	Plus, Russia makes things more economically.
	Russia spends about $600 per artillery shell.
	The West spends like $6,000, $7,000, $8,000 per artillery shell.
	So the West, of course, is 90% waste, 10% productivity.
	And then they joke.
	It's a clown show.
	They say, well, it's a free market system.
	It's really efficient.
	No, it's not.
	It's totally corrupt.
	It's not even a free market system.
	A true free market system would be efficient, but that's not what we're living under.
	In the meantime, crazy, insane environmental terrorists of some kind have attacked and partially destroyed Tesla's car factory in Berlin.
	So, according to the BBC, which, who knows, a gang of extremists who are named the Volcano Group, they published a letter online saying that they tried to sabotage the Tesla factory for environmental and labor reasons.
	What, they don't like electric cars?
	What?
	Make up your mind, man!
	I don't know, these far-left eco-terrorists, about a hundred militants have been camping out in a forest around the factory to try to prevent a plan for expansion that would involve cutting down trees.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	And Andy Ngo tweeted out, Far-left extremists have claimed responsibility for an arson attack targeting Tesla's Berlin car factory.
	This is kind of like the Stop Cop City extremists.
	Dozens of militants are also camping nearby in a forest to stop the factory's expansion.
	You know, it's not that hard to clean activists out of a forest.
	All it takes is a...
	Just a few skunks or some Belgian Malinois attack dogs that I'm very familiar with.
	Clearing people out of a forest is not a complex thing.
	Or pepper spray, for that matter.
	If they're trespassing, why don't you just clear them out?
	So apparently they managed to set fire to some electricity pylon.
	I'm not sure exactly what that means, but it caused a power outage in the factory.
	And the Tesla factory was perfectly safe, apparently, but power lines were damaged.
	Hey, what was I talking about yesterday?
	You're going to see far-left, insane activists setting fire, you know, destroying the power grid, destroying railroads, setting fire to trucks on bridges, poisoning the water supply, whatever they could do.
	I mean, these people are nuts.
	Total nutjob wackos that...
	I guess they don't want industry at all in Germany.
	So how's Germany going to have a wartime industry?
	Can you imagine?
	Elon Musk tweeted out, these are either the dumbest eco-terrorists on Earth or they're puppets of those who don't have good environmental goals.
	Stopping production of electric vehicles rather than fossil fuel vehicles is extremely stupid.
	By the way, if you want to stop the cutting down of trees in Germany, you should rebuild the Nord Stream pipeline with Russia because, of course, what's been happening over the winters is that Germans have been cutting down trees and burning it for heat because they can't afford to pay the heat bill because the U.S. Navy blew up the Nord Stream pipelines and now Germany can't get cheap energy from Russia.
	So the real eco-terrorists here are the DOD. The U.S. military are the eco-terrorists causing more trees to be cut down.
	It's not so much Tesla, although I can imagine if they want to expand, they're going to cut down a few trees, but that's nothing compared to the tree loss caused by the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline.
	Now let's move eastward.
	Let's go to Ukraine.
	Here's a new, oh my gosh, a whole new story on Ukraine.
	From RT, which is always hilarious to see reporting on Ukraine.
	Ukraine plans new counteroffensive, says the ground forces commander.
	That's right.
	They were speaking to ICTV. Lieutenant General Alexander Pavlyuk.
	Pavlyuk.
	Yeah.
	Pavlyuk.
	I think that's it.
	Said that they're going to seize the initiative on the battlefield later this year.
	Oh, my gosh.
	How many times have we heard this?
	Is this the counteroffensive that's going to actually beat Russia?
	I mean, all last year we heard, oh, it's going to be a counteroffensive.
	It's going to happen.
	By the summer we'll be, you know, in Crimea and Russia will be defeated.
	That didn't happen.
	And in the fall, oh, another counteroffensive.
	Now here it is, spring.
	We're going to have another counteroffensive.
	We're going to seize the initiative.
	He says, this is going to, here's what it is.
	Said the most pressing goal is to stop Russian advances.
	Yeah, no s***, Sherlock.
	And regroup Ukrainian units so that exhausted forces can be pulled back from the front line and replenished.
	That would allow Kiev to create a strike group and carry out counter-strike actions.
	So basically what he's saying is, All we need to do is just stop the Russians.
	And if we can stop the Russians, then we can pull our soldiers back and let them rest and regroup, and then we'll send them back out to defeat the Russians.
	It's kind of like listening to John Madden talk about football strategy.
	What we've got to do is we've got to take the ball, we've got to move the ball down the field.
	We've got to move the ball a couple yards at a time, maybe five, ten yards.
	We've just got to keep moving it.
	Two to touchdown goal.
	If we can stop the enemy from stopping us from moving the football, then we can win this game.
	It's like, again, no shit, Sherlock.
	Of course, you've got to stop the Russians if you want to win.
	But that's not happening, is it?
	Because, of course, the situation is dire.
	Sadly, So many Ukrainian men have been lost.
	And this is one of the greatest crimes against humanity that has happened in Europe since World War II. And it's due to the people like Victoria Nuland and Joe Biden and Obama, the whole cabal, Blinken and others, who pushed this war with Russia.
	And of course, Boris Johnson out of the UK is probably still doing paperwork.
	They wanted Ukrainians to die in order to try to weaken Russia.
	And they said so.
	They said this is a bargain for the West to sacrifice Ukrainian soldiers to try to harm Russia.
	And we, the West, we win.
	We don't have to fight.
	Let the Ukrainians fight.
	I mean, they openly talk about this.
	When they could have had peace.
	They could have negotiated with Russia.
	They chose not to.
	They chose to sacrifice now nearly half a million young men to destroy the young generation of a nation.
	And now they're telling us that if we could just stop the Russians, then we could regroup and have a counteroffensive?
	Are they in kindergarten?
	Do they have no idea what's actually happening?
	That Russia keeps conquering one town, one city after another?
	Most recently, Advevka.
	If you're going to stop the Russians, you do realize you have to stop them from conquering all your cities, right?
	If you're going to stop the Russians, they can't keep gaining new cities.
	It's unreal.
	These people are living in a fantasy land.
	Now, get this.
	You know how Congress has so far refused to pass the $60 billion in handout money to Ukraine?
	Well, Janet Yellen just went over to Ukraine and gave them a billion dollars, actually a little bit more.
	And she proudly announced it.
	Like, somehow they scraped up a billion dollars somewhere.
	I don't know.
	It was probably just some extra money that fell off the printing presses in the basement of the Treasury somewhere.
	Like, oh, yeah, we found another billion.
	And so they're giving it to Ukraine.
	Because, of course, they can't spend any money on America, but they can spend unlimited amounts of money on Ukraine.
	Well, since Congress hasn't approved the $60 billion, it turns out that now Biden and the U.S. government, they're going to divert the United States Army budget to Ukraine.
	Bloomberg reported this.
	Bloomberg was told by a source that That the final decision hasn't yet been made, but it's going to be $200 million from the U.S. Army that's going to be diverted to Ukraine.
	I mean, these people are getting desperate.
	And what is that $200 million supposed to be used for?
	Who knows?
	Maybe ammo, maybe training, maybe radios.
	I don't know.
	But they're now taking money out of the pocket of the army and sending it to be wasted and, you know, fettered away to vanish into a giant corruption black hole in Ukraine.
	And again, this money is not going to go to the Ukrainian frontline troops.
	It's not going to give them any equipment.
	This is going to go into the pockets of the corrupt officials of the Ukrainian government, which is...
	Arguably one of the most corrupt governments in the world, even more corrupt than the U.S. government, which is saying something.
	They're going to give another $200 million.
	So I guess Biden and Blinken and Newland, who's said she's resigning, but she's not done yet.
	I guess they're running around the U.S., like every department, every budget, like, you got any money for us?
	You got any money?
	Can we send it to Ukraine?
	What do you have?
	Because they can't get Congress to authorize it.
	So this is how they're trying to bypass Congress and get more money to Ukraine.
	You ever wonder why they're so desperate?
	What is it about Ukraine that would expose all these people?
	What's so dangerous that makes them so desperate?
	And the answer is the bioweapons labs, which Russia has already exposed.
	The bioweapons laboratories and human experiments, total violation of the bioweapons treaties, You know, the United States engaged in just straight-up blatant criminal activities of developing and deploying biological weapons, and they used labs in eastern Ukraine in order to do that, and no doubt they're trying to bury all the evidence.
	And just like in 9-11, they brought down Building 7 in order to destroy all the evidence of CIA money laundering and things like that.
	Probably they'll end up nuking half of Europe or causing a nuclear war in order to just kind of reset the thing and eliminate all evidence of the criminality of the Biden regime and the Clintons and the Newlands and everybody else that was involved.
	I mean, they don't care if they kill a few million people.
	They just need to destroy the evidence of their criminality.
	So we are currently being run by lunatic psychopaths.
	Have you noticed how insane all these government people are, both in Europe and the United States?
	Absolute criminal psychopaths.
	There's nothing they won't do to protect their power.
	Alright, now, another story out of Watcher.Guru.
	BRICS Bank of America issues warning of a U.S. dollar collapse.
	The U.S. national debt is growing by a trillion dollars every 100 days.
	We covered that earlier.
	The uncontrolled debt could lead to a financial disaster wreaking havoc not only in the U.S. but across the world.
	BRICS and other developing countries are worried that a U.S. dollar debt could make their native economies crash.
	And so the U.S. dollar national debt has hit a new high of $34.4 trillion and is, of course, not under control.
	And now the Bank of America has issued a warning about a possible U.S. dollar collapse.
	Moreover, this allows BRICS to spread the de-dollarization initiative across the world.
	Bank of America warned in its latest piece that the dollar and the economy face a, quote, blowout year in 2024.
	The growing national debt is the main reason why the U.S. economy could be poised to head south.
	Their chief strategist, Michael Hartnett, says, quote, the U.S. national debt is rising by $1 trillion every 100 days.
	And he warned that the collapse of the U.S. dollar is imminent if the debt grows out of control this year.
	Quote, this doesn't end well, said a former asset manager at Grit Capital named Genevieve Roche-Dector, I believe is how you pronounce it.
	There's more there, but you get the idea.
	If we don't get the debt under control, the dollar collapses, right?
	And I ask you, is this government regime going to stop printing money when they want to send another $60 billion to Ukraine and more to Israel and more to Taiwan?
	And of course they have to pay off all the weapons, the defense contractors and so on.
	Are they going to stop printing money?
	No.
	Never.
	That will never happen.
	The only way they will stop printing money is if they are forced to stop printing money because the money has become worthless.
	That's when it stops.
	Just as has happened throughout world history, hundreds of times of national currencies.
	I've told the story before.
	When I was in Ecuador, I visited the Ecuador Central Bank in Quito.
	And there they have a display.
	I don't know if they still have it, but at the time they had a display.
	It was like a giant fish aquarium without fish.
	A giant aquarium set into the wall.
	And in this aquarium was a bunch of coinage of the previous currency of the nation of Ecuador.
	And I remember there was like a question, how much do you think this is worth?
	Like all this money in this aquarium.
	It was massive.
	I don't know.
	I don't recall how big it was.
	But clearly a lot of coinage in there.
	And the answer was some ridiculous number.
	Like it's worth a dollar now.
	You know, it's worthless.
	It went to basically zero.
	And then Ecuador shifted to the U.S. dollar.
	After that, which was also a horrible mistake because, of course, the U.S. dollar is being printed into oblivion by the U.S. And that's causing inflation in countries like Ecuador, which, of course, is leading to increased poverty among the Ecuadorian people who can barely afford cooking gas, by the way, or gasoline, for that matter.
	So all countries that are tied to the dollar are going to experience an economic collapse followed by chaos.
	But especially the United States.
	And the Bank of America now also is warning about this very thing.
	So keep that in mind when you think about where all this is going and how rapidly it's happening.
	You can see troops in the subway system in New York City now.
	Another bank is collapsing in New York apparently or is at risk of collapse.
	I guess the billion dollar bailout, maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.
	But why should banks need billion dollar bailouts anyway?
	Something's wrong.
	Something's broken.
	Food inflation has made food unaffordable for many Americans.
	The open borders invasion continues to worsen each and every day.
	Censorship Is on the rise, transgenderism, grooming, pedophilia, child trafficking, being pushed by the corporations like Doritos and its pedophile spokesperson?
	Here, have some pedo chips, you know?
	Pedo pan peanut butter.
	I don't think the brand Peter Pan is owned by Frito-Lay.
	I was just saying that because of the hilarious word alliteration.
	But I wouldn't be surprised if PepsiCo launched like Pitopan peanut butter.
	P-E-D-O, Pitopan, right?
	And it would be peanut butter all in the rainbow colors, like layered in the jar.
	Like, look, there's a purple layer here.
	Yeah, that's for the nose ring, purple-haired people.
	Don't forget about that song.
	It just reminds me.
	I keep thinking it's the one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple people eater, but it's not one-armed.
	It's something else.
	I keep screwing that up.
	It's one-eyed, one-something, flying purple people eater.
	Anyway, it's like a transgender monster, child-molesting...
	Childeater or something, you know?
	Pedo Pan Peanut Butter.
	Brought to you by PepsiCo.
	Alright, we're going to jump into the interview here, but first I'm going to play a short little ad for Goldbacks that I filmed in the studio because I give you now a full view of the different denominations of Goldbacks.
	And because gold is rising so much in dollar price, people who bought goldbacks earlier are seeing the value increase, at least in terms of dollars, because it now costs more dollars to get goldbacks than it did three months ago.
	So a lot of happy people who have goldbacks or gold or gold coins, really any form of gold.
	People are happy about it.
	But check out this ad about goldbacks and then we'll have the full interview with 1791 Gun Leather.
	And I'll be back with you tomorrow with another update and another interview.
	I think I know which interview I'm going to run tomorrow, and I think you'll really enjoy it.
	So check out this Goldback ad, and then we'll be back with the interview today.
	Take care.
	Also, have you seen these?
	These are gold backs, and we've got different denominations to show you there.
	They come in 50, 25, 10, 5, and 1s.
	That's a stack of 1s.
	This is 1,000th of a troy ounce of gold, and it's embedded in the polymer layers in the gold backs, and you can get them, again, at those different denominations, so it's good divisibility of gold.
	And since the gold is in the goldback itself, it's not some fiat currency.
	It's actually a piece of gold that you can use for gifts or barter or trade, even in a local community.
	If the grid goes down, a lot of people might be using gold and silver or goldbacks.
	Now, if you go to our website, verifiedgoldbacks.com, that's our affiliate site, we do earn a little bit off your purchase there, but what we've done is we've done the laboratory testing.
	And on that site, you'll see my lab test results, how we tested them using a kiln, using an ICP-MS mass spec instrument, using an acid stone test here as well.
	We verified the purity and the masses of the gold that are embedded in these different bills.
	And in fact, I've got here in these vials in my hands right here, this is actually one of the pellets of gold.
	I melted it down into like a BB shape.
	I don't know if you can see it, but I've got gold in these three vials right here.
	Yeah, there you can kind of see it moving around there.
	You can hear them.
	And we did the tests on these, and this is the gold that came out of these goldbacks.
	So we were able to confirm the gold is real.
	It's 24 karat plus, and it actually exceeds the mass that's required.
	Our recovery ranged from 102% to about 100 and, what was it, typically 105%.
	I've got the results here.
	Check this out.
	Look at these photos.
	I did all this myself.
	So if you melt them down, you get this, and then you keep melting, you get it into like a pellet, and then you use an analytical balance in the laboratory, and you do the math.
	It's pretty amazing.
	At first you get this gold foil, which is pretty cool, and then you can melt the foil into this BB pellet-looking thing.
	Anyway, here's the recoveries we got.
	From a low of 102.89%, or 101.96%, that's the lowest, to 107% recovery.
	And the bottom line is, if you want real gold in your hands that's divisible, that is also incredibly beautiful, that people instantly love, they recognize this, they see, wow, that's gold, and they're actually looking at gold.
	This isn't paint.
	This is the gold just kind of made really thin and put into this format and then sandwiched between polymers.
	Goldbacks are your answer.
	So check out verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	And there you can purchase goldbacks and you can help support this platform at the same time because we earn a small percentage.
	And this is a really good form of off-grid money.
	And you might have gold coins or silver coins.
	And I strongly encourage gold and silver coins, but a gold coin is a pretty big piece of value to try to trade with, you know?
	You're at a farmer's market, like, I want a loaf of bread.
	What do you have?
	I have a one-ounce gold coin.
	Well, that's worth $2,200.
	Gold's skyrocketing.
	So, what are you going to do?
	Like, buy a loaf of bread and then give me change for the one ounce of gold?
	No.
	But if you're trying to buy that loaf of bread with a goldback, you say, hey, how would you like one one thousandth of an ounce of gold for that loaf of bread in this format, goldbacks, which actually has a premium over just the raw price of gold because it's better than just one one thousandth of an ounce of gold.
	I mean, it's in a format that's...
	It's beautiful to look at.
	It's durable.
	You can carry it.
	It fits in a wallet or a pocket or a purse.
	A lot of merchants will say, absolutely, I'll take that gold.
	And now you can buy a loaf of bread or you can buy a bag of potatoes or whatever, depending on what the economy looks like after the debt collapse.
	I don't know what it's going to look like exactly, but I know I want gold and silver, and I want to have lots of different options of money that works off-grid.
	So, yeah, our grid's not reliable.
	Our monetary system is not reliable.
	The currency is not reliable.
	But you know what you can count on?
	Physical gold and silver in your hands.
	That's what you can count on.
	It doesn't need a password.
	You don't need to log in.
	It doesn't need the bank's permission to have value.
	It doesn't need the backing of a government.
	You don't have to have faith in the treasury to confiscate money from people.
	This has value all by itself.
	And gold has had value for centuries.
	I mean, come on, millennia, what am I saying?
	And it will continue to have value long after the collapse of the dollar and probably the collapse of Western civilization itself.
	So, there you go.
	That's why the wealthy are buying gold like crazy.
	That's why gold is spiking.
	What is it now?
	Let me actually bring it up.
	Gold.
	Here it is right now, gold at $2,128.
	Silver at $23.67.
	These are all skyrocketing.
	Bitcoin is skyrocketing.
	Gold is skyrocketing.
	Monero is skyrocketing.
	Why?
	Because people who know what's about to happen, they are bailing out of the banks.
	They're bailing out of the dollars.
	They're getting out of the system.
	They're going to off-grid forms of asset protection, and that's gold and silver and land and certain types of crypto and maybe food supplies or ammunition supplies.
	And if you want food, of course, check us out at healthrangerstore.com, and we've got you covered there.
	So consider your options, do your research, and make sure you are ready for what's about to happen.
	Look at that.
	That's beautiful.
	That's gold.
	This is so cool.
	The 50 is thick.
	It is very thick.
	And it's much larger than the 1.
	Because there's 51 thousandths of an ounce of gold in this.
	And if you could feel it, it's heavier.
	It's thicker.
	Because the gold is actually in there.
	You really can't put much more gold in a bill than 51 thousandths of an ounce.
	So they've done a great job with this, the Goldback Company, and this is something that has really intrigued a lot of people, and it's another form of having stores of value that are highly divisible and have high utility, more utility than just a one-ounce coin itself.
	So be sure to check these out again, verifiedgoldbacks.com, and thank you for your support.
	Get ready, because we're headed into interesting times.
	Be safe.
	Take care.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	And as you know, I've been a longtime prepper, and I've carried concealed for something like 30 years.
	And in that time, I have broken and destroyed many holsters.
	Many, many holsters.
	Especially Kydex holsters, for whatever reason.
	They do not withstand the Health Ranger activity on the Health Ranger Ranch.
	Not a chance.
	But I found a holster last year from a company, and this is our guest today.
	The company's not a sponsor.
	I just want to be clear, they're not paying for this interview.
	I was a customer of theirs, and I invited them on.
	They did extend the discount at one point to our audience, but it's called 1791 Gun Leather, and it's not just a leather holster.
	And this is the one that I've been wearing now for over six months, and it's great.
	Nothing wrong with it.
	But it's a custom holster.
	It has a polymer layer sandwiched in between the leather.
	And you put it in a bag, soak it in hot water.
	There are instructions that come with it.
	And you mold it around your pistol.
	So it fits almost any pistol you can imagine.
	There are different sizes of these.
	But they can fit any pistol, any configuration.
	It's really incredible.
	The company is called 1791gunleather.com.
	And I believe this is called the custom...
	Well, they'll tell us...
	Let me just welcome the guys from the company.
	Evan McNamara and Justin, welcome to the show today.
	Yeah, thanks, Mike.
	Appreciate you having us.
	Glad to be on the show.
	Thanks for being a customer.
	You mentioned the discount.
	Just right off the top, I just want to mention we do have an exclusive Thanks for having us on.
	And again, that's Ranger15.
	Okay, all right.
	Let me just reiterate, Ranger15 is the code, folks.
	And I just want to be clear, I do not earn a percentage off of the sales, but the company does from time to time send me samples for evaluation.
	So I always want to disclose our relationship.
	So go ahead, Evan.
	Sorry to interrupt.
	Yeah, thanks, Mike.
	And then with me today is Justin Hoffman.
	So Justin's relatively new to the company.
	Him and I have worked together for years in the past.
	And Justin is our new Director of Product Development, so we're excited what he's going to bring to the table by ways of new products.
	Welcome, Justin.
	It's nice to meet you here.
	And I've got to say, you're with some good folks there.
	I love what your company's doing.
	Yeah, I've got some good friends over here, and I'm happy to be a part of the team.
	Well, let me start off by just saying I'm so thrilled to find your company and the quality that you actually produce.
	Let me just go over this because this is a real test case.
	Can you guys show the close-up camera?
	This is the actual holster that I've been carrying and wearing for over six months.
	Are you able to show camera one, I think?
	Anyway, not a single stitch has come out.
	Not a single stitch, okay?
	It's two layers of leather.
	It's got the polymer sandwich, like I mentioned.
	It's got good retention.
	Here it is.
	You see, it's fully intact.
	It's worn in.
	Yeah, there's some wear pattern right here, which is expected.
	Shows you I've been wearing it.
	But overall, it's in really great shape.
	Guys, I've got to tell you, I've never had a holster last six months.
	Because normally they crack and break and I ended up buying more.
	So whatever you're doing, it's working.
	Great job.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, thanks, Mike.
	We obviously take pride in the products that we make.
	All our leather holsters are handcrafted one at a time.
	So we've got a very long history of our artisans and leather craftsmen that produce the holsters.
	So that's one thing.
	We really take pride in the quality and If something's not going to hold up, we're not going to put it out on the market.
	What's the actual name of this custom holster that has the polymer?
	It's called the Ultra Custom.
	We have outside the waistband variants and inside the waistband variants of the Ultra Custom family.
	Okay, so I've got your website up here, and folks, if you go to the page 1791gunleather.com, let's get our producers to bring it up.
	Here we go.
	And then you click on Ultra Custom right there.
	Then you can see the different holsters that are just for different size, you know, like a micro or a concealed carry or a full size, whatever.
	I mean, what do you have, six different variations of this without optics?
	Yeah, so we've got some of them are optic-ready and optic-compatible.
	Actually, the newest option within the Ultra Custom family is our light-bearing holster.
	So we've got three sizes of that.
	And again, all those holsters that you see there are essentially multi-fit.
	So as long as you're buying within the handgun size frame that you have, so something that might work for the Glock 43X is also going to work for your Hellcat or your P365. So you're able to remold that holster as well.
	So if you switch your handgun, again, as long as it's in the same frame size, you'll be able to reuse that holster.
	That's a really critical point, and I'm glad you mentioned that because I actually did switch from a P365 to a G43X, and I was able to remold the exact same holster.
	So this actually saves people money, especially if you're switching firearms, or you might want to have, you know...
	Many different reasons why you carry.
	Like, you might want to carry in a more concealed fashion because, I don't know, you're going into town or something.
	Or here in Texas, if we go into a different county, you want to be a little more concealed versus other counties.
	You know what I mean?
	So you might have a lot of different uses for it.
	So your holster can save people money because they can reuse it with a different frame.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And that's really sort of the concept behind it.
	It's really kind of interesting technology.
	I'm not sure of any other companies, really, that are putting out similar products, but, you know, it uses a thermoplastic that's embedded between the leather.
	So if you think about, like, you would mold a mouthpiece for, you know, your kid or whatever, it's the same type of concept.
	Requires bringing it up to heat around 160 degrees within a water bath.
	Obviously, you want to put it in a plastic bag.
	You obviously want to make sure that you're not putting your firearm in there as well.
	When you take it out of the bath, you insert your firearm, unload it, of course, and you basically spend a couple minutes just kind of hand molding it.
	Uh, around all the catch points and friction points to give you that level of retention that you're comfortable with.
	And then, you know, five, 10 minutes, let it cure and you're ready to rock.
	That's exactly what I did.
	Your instructions were very clear.
	And I also put the belt, I put it on the belt during that time and tightened it up around my waist with the gun and the holster and then let it kind of cure while wearing the belt.
	And that's actually the preferred way to do it, right?
	That's the way to do it, yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Well, it's been incredibly comfortable.
	I gotta say, what you guys have here is a game changer.
	So, Justin, let me ask you, what does 1791 gun leather have now in planning for what's coming next?
	We've got a pretty deep roadmap that we've been working on as far as stuff that is kind of closer up, kind of in your face and ready to go.
	We've been working on a chest holster that I really like the idea of because if you've ever been out in the sticks wearing a pack, if you get to campsite, let's say you're going to take your pack off and go do a few things, probably one of the first things you're going to do when you get to camp is probably go visit the little boys room, right?
	So a lot of times what dudes end up doing is they put their gun on their pack somewhere, whether it be on the hip belt or something like that, and then when they down their pack to leave camp to go and visit the little boys' room, they either got to remember to take their gun off and bring it with them, because you never know what you're going to run into when you step off into no man's land.
	But with our chest holster design, what it does is it kind of rides right...
	At that sweet spot above the hips, but also, I can't really see it, but it rides above the hips, so when you down your pack, your pack's staying behind, and then you can just, your gun comes with you.
	So that's a really important thing to me.
	We've also got a line of shoulder holsters we've been working on.
	Kind of a traditional over-the-top shoulder holster, but And do these also have the polymer, the moldable polymer?
	These ones don't.
	We've been considering doing that in the future.
	This one's just more of a traditional leather holster.
	I'm going to tip my camera down so you can see it.
	Yeah.
	So traditional leather holster with the retention snap, but it kind of rides right in that sweet spot.
	Again, imagine like a hip belt from a pack being right there, and then your gun's kind of right there.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Wow.
	Very, very cool.
	And would you say, then, your customers, I imagine they span from law enforcement and outdoors people and self-defense, but who really is your biggest segment of customers?
	We actually did a study to really kind of flesh that out for ourselves, and our main customer, obviously, is the 2A enthusiast, the concealed carry every day type of cat, and someone with an An affinity towards leather.
	So leather, 1911s, a lot of times those two types of things go together.
	Your outdoorsman, the kind of person that can handle themselves, the kind of person that can turn a wrench, like someone that knows how to do things, a skilled person, that's typically what we see is like our core consumer.
	Yeah.
	Okay, that's really great to hear because I'm glad you mentioned that.
	I live on a ranch and I do my own tractor maintenance and I take care of animals and things like that.
	And one of the things that I found in the past was that the butt end of my pistol would very often get...
	Just caught on something as I'm moving around, as I'm working, as I'm doing things.
	And sometimes, especially if I'm backing up, and it would get caught on something, and it would destroy a Kydex holster.
	And whereas yours, with the leather in it, it has more give in it, and it doesn't just break.
	And one of my fears as a concealed carry person, I don't want to be in town.
	I don't want to be in church or in a restaurant or somewhere and have a holster failure where a crack in the kydex just runs its course and I have a gun falling down on the floor.
	And it's like, oh, I think I've seen videos of the FBI doing that.
	But I don't want to do that.
	So, your holster has been very reliable.
	It's given me a lot of confidence, is what I'm saying, to be able to carry in places where I know I'm going to have good retention, I'm not going to have a holster failure.
	Yeah, Mike, I think the one thing we've seen with our customers, it's not the customer that's looking for just an entry-level holster.
	It's the person that You know, is looking for something maybe a little bit more quality, a little bit more comfortable, you know, willing to spend a few extra dollars to get, you know, essentially get what you pay for.
	So I think that's our customer as well.
	Someone that's maybe a touch more experienced, like Justin said.
	A concealed carrier, someone who knows how to do things, and we're not really necessarily trying to cater to, call it that, entry-level user that's just looking for something to throw their gun in, but looking for something a little bit step up.
	Isn't it funny, though, that somebody will spend like $1,000 on a pistol with the perfect red dot sight that they want, all the custom configuration, and then when it comes to a holster, they're like, what can I get for $29, you know?
	Those are, to quote a mentor of mine, those people need training.
	That's the crux of the issue.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	And the other thing is, I feel like the retention is better than a regular leather holster.
	Now, I don't know, I guess that's because of the polymer.
	Have you heard this kind of feedback from people?
	I feel like the retention has lasted a lot longer.
	Yeah.
	It's designed to do that?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	It works as designed and as intended.
	And that's really what I think we were trying to get at with that product line.
	Sometimes if you're carrying leather or a nylon holster or something like that, Some people just don't have that feeling of security that they're getting their proper retention on it, especially if it's kind of an open-top holster.
	And so what we were looking for was the retention of Kydex, but with the comfort of leather.
	And that's what I think we really achieved with that product.
	Let me mention something else to people who might be considering this.
	Go to camera one, to my crew.
	But right here, where the holster...
	Right here where it's the trigger guard area, right?
	So on the firearm, that's this area right here.
	What I've found is that when you're molding this, if you really press in hard right here during the curing process, then it's going to give you that trigger guard retention.
	And that, I mean, I just found that's incredibly effective, and I can mold it to the level of retention that I want.
	Yeah, we found the same.
	The trigger guard and ejection cord are really your two best points of retention.
	Okay, so I got a question for you.
	Have you patented this technology?
	There is a patent pending on it, yes.
	Oh, good.
	Okay.
	Because, I mean, it seems like everybody would want to do this.
	Like every holster company would want to do something like this.
	And I'm just wondering about your intellectual property.
	Because, you know, I've got a few patents on different things, not related to this, but when you have patent protection, you'll be able to really, you know, enforce that patent and expand the market, even license it to other companies.
	Maybe I'm prying too much, but is that maybe part of the plan?
	It's not something that we've really thought about or considered.
	We've been focused on our own products and what other use cases we could use for that technology.
	Who knows, down the road, if there's interest, we'd consider it.
	Well, it's good to have the intellectual property.
	Let me go back to Justin and ask you this.
	Since you're head of product development, you must talk to a lot of customers.
	Do you find that there's a lot of increased interest in carrying now because of the defunding of the police and the increase in violent crime that's being reported?
	Is it driving more people to seriously carry instead of just having a license and not carrying?
	I've seen a pretty good uptick in this, not just from the concealed carriers just carrying more, or obviously what COVID and the riot season did was drive about 15 million new gun owners into the market.
	A lot of those newer gun owners, the next step that they're doing is, like I said earlier, they're getting training.
	They're kind of at that crossroad where they're starting to take their first concealed carry permit class, or maybe some of them are going and taking more advanced training at some of the higher-level schools around the country.
	But yeah, the temperature in the pot, if you will, if you're going to call the country the pot, the temperature in the pot, when that raises, obviously it's going to drive more people to focus on it.
	It's something that I've...
	Very heavily been focusing on trying to kind of see the forest for the trees and pay attention to those trend lines.
	Well, I'm wondering if the average firearms owner in America is now tending to shift more towards actual carry versus just owning.
	Have you seen any indication that that's the case?
	Or are you aware of any polls or statistics supporting that?
	Yeah.
	So there was a fairly recent poll that came out in 2020 that I paid attention to.
	And at that time, it said about 6 million people in the country are choosing to carry every single day.
	If you skip back just a few years, like back to like 2017, if you look at the same kind of data, it said about 3 million.
	So between 17 and 20, the number of people that are choosing to carry, not just carry, but carry every single day, like you and I, Mike, That number pretty much doubled in the matter of like three years.
	So yeah, when the temperature in the pot rises, people pay attention.
	Especially watching the defund the police thing, it makes people realize that they are their own first and last response.
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	This is why I'm thrilled to help promote your company because guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens save lives.
	Guns save lives when they're in the right people's hands and when people have the right equipment and right gear and so on.
	You know, I'm coming to you from Texas here, and there's a new law that was signed by the governor that will allow law enforcement in Texas to arrest illegal aliens for trespass.
	And that law was issued an injunction, but last, or I think it was two days ago, that injunction was lifted.
	So the law goes into effect this Saturday.
	And I spoke with law enforcement about this, and they're anticipating, you know, there are going to be a lot of arrests of people that otherwise would not have been arrested, such as human trafficking people.
	And so there's going to be some flare-ups, you know what I mean?
	There might be some spillover...
	There might be some desperation on the part of some human traffickers that don't want to get nabbed.
	And so it's underscoring, I think, the importance of law-abiding citizens being prepared for self-defense and to defend their communities if necessary.
	Do you have any comments on just the overall importance of preparedness as things get more dicey?
	Absolutely.
	I mean, so...
	When things like this kind of spark off in the US, all it's doing is it's making people realize the monster that's actually inside the closet.
	Our law enforcement, God bless them, I'm a former law enforcement officer myself, The importance of our law enforcement and keeping crime and mayhem below the status quo is so important.
	But when that veil starts to get torn and people realize what's on the other side, It makes people pay attention.
	For instance, James Yeager wrote a book called The Four Pillars of Self-Defense.
	And in that book, he quotes a statistic.
	In Memphis in 2015, there were 59 justified homicides.
	57 of them were from civilians.
	And that was in, like, 17.
	You know what I mean?
	So, like, the fact that civilians have to use firearms for self-defense, it's just, it's not something that generally gets reported, but it's something that happens all the time.
	Yes.
	So, people are just realizing that more and more.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, no, I've had Jaeger on the show, and I've actually attended many of his courses, by the way, many, many years ago.
	With his very humorous drill sergeant instructors as well.
	So, Evan, one complaint I have, though, is I tried to take my AR-15 pistol with a brace, and it wouldn't fit in the holster.
	So I don't know why that is, but apparently it doesn't cover all pistols.
	Well, maybe we can have Justin add that to the roadmap.
	We're working on this stuff.
	Yeah.
	Maybe not an ultra custom, but we're working on some stuff.
	We can live at that.
	All right.
	Well, very good.
	Okay, so the discount code for our audience is RANGER15, and what does that apply to?
	Is it everything that you sell?
	It is, Mike.
	It's 15% off site-wide on 1791gunleather.com.
	So just go ahead and put the code in at checkout and get your discount.
	Okay, that's excellent.
	Now, I think you sent me a snag mag, but I haven't tried it yet here, so I'm going to have to try that out and report on what that's like.
	Is that a popular item among your customers?
	It is fairly popular.
	We've got several different options for that.
	It's kind of custom to the magazine for whatever pistol you're carrying.
	Yeah, it's a neat little product.
	It's essentially kind of a Kydex-based product.
	It'll hold your magazine.
	It's got a clip on it that is designed similar to a knife clip.
	So when you're carrying it in your pocket, you can carry extra mag, which you always want to carry some extra ammo on you, and it kind of conceals, so it just looks like you're carrying a pocket knife.
	Oh, that's a great idea, yeah.
	It's funny to hear the word clip when talking about a magazine because, as you know, people who don't know about firearms always call magazines clips.
	And we're like, no!
	That's not a clip!
	But in this case, it's a clip that holds the mag.
	So, it actually makes sense.
	Yeah, it's kind of an oxymoron.
	No, but I like that because I do carry, well, I carry, let me show you, I carry an Emerson Karambit with a clip here in my front pocket because of how rapidly this can be deployed just by pulling it out, you know, and you're in position with it.
	So I wouldn't mind having your clip, your snag mag clip on the other side, left hand, for a fast reload.
	So that makes perfect sense.
	Love it.
	Yep.
	Okay.
	Something else you can do, Mike.
	So this is one of our EDC belt carriers, so the Easy Slide.
	It's designed to carry like a multi-tool, a flashlight, maybe a pocket knife.
	Something that I generally do, because I bring more freedom seats to the party-type cat, I sub out the multi-tool for mag.
	I carry a Glock 19, and then that carries up on the waistline, so that conceals as well, nice and tight to your body.
	And then you have...
	More real estate to store your stuff.
	I like to carry my pocket knife on my offhand left hand hip in case someone were to realize that I have a firearm and go for a gun grab.
	Then I can very quickly fish out my knife and pull my knife out and then discourage that gun grab.
	So that's why I like my knife on the offhand side.
	Very good point.
	I like that.
	Yeah.
	People grabbing for guns are going to bleed.
	Do not tell the bad guys, don't go for the guns, especially from former law enforcement who are trained in firearms retention, of course.
	And by the way, that thin blue line is so thin, people don't realize it, man.
	I'm telling you, I'm not far from Austin, Texas, and the police union of Austin just sent out an alert a few days ago, and they said, look, we're in a state of crisis here.
	We've had to pull detectives off the detective desks and put them in patrol cars to respond to 911 calls, because the city won't let us hire officers.
	They've cut our budgets.
	They've been draining officers since 2017.
	Now, you down 911, and it just rings.
	It's unbelievable.
	There was a cell phone outage just last week where law enforcement were saying, like, text in for emergency services.
	Wow.
	Send us an email.
	Email while you're being carjacked.
	The bottom line is, folks, self-defense is your responsibility.
	Yes, we have law enforcement.
	Thank God we do.
	But they're being defunded.
	It's not enough.
	They can't respond to all the violence that's happening in a timely manner, even when they intend to.
	So your defense is your responsibility, and you're going to need good, reliable gear.
	And this company, 1791gunleather.com, is a company that I've just become an advocate of this company.
	I love their product, and I want you to have gear that works.
	And so check them out and use the discount code RANGER15 to save 15%.
	Evan and Justin, I want to thank you both for your time today.
	It's been great catching up with you.
	Yeah, thanks, Mike.
	Likewise, it's great being back on the show.
	Thanks for having us, and thanks for being a great supporter.
	Absolutely.
	Thanks for having us.
	Absolutely.
	And, hey, Justin, we're always open to your new ideas.
	You have something new you want me to try out?
	Of course, send it my way, and I'll run it through the Ranger Ranch here and see if I can break it or see how it works.
	Texas is a good spot for research and development, so I'll keep that in mind.
	Texas is a good spot, and you know what?
	Hey, you guys haven't met my security dog, I don't think, have you?
	Did you meet Rhodey?
	Not yet.
	Let me get him up here.
	Rhodey, come around.
	Come here.
	Come here.
	Up.
	Up.
	There we go.
	There we go.
	This is my Belgian Malinois.
	He also runs security here in the studio and the ranch, and he gives me time to get to my pistol or rifle, as the case may be.
	Look at him.
	Good boy.
	Quite an athlete.
	Yeah, he likes the camera too.
	Is he a veteran?
	Make him a nice custom leather dog collar, Mike.
	Oh yeah, that would be great.
	Let's see if we can get him to talk here.
	Hey, Rhodey.
	Bark!
	There we go!
	Good boy!
	Yes!
	Good boy!
	All right!
	Good boy!
	He's happy now!
	Yeah!
	Good boy!
	Good boy!
	Okay!
	Now he's wanting to know, like, where's the bad guy he's supposed to attack?
	Okay!
	Guys, something other than Rhodey's butt for the camera.
	So thank you for joining me today.
	We appreciate you and your company, and we'll talk again soon.
	Yeah, thanks, Mike.
	All right.
	Take care, guys.
	All right.
	Take care.
	All right.

	I mean, that's how cell phones work.
	They penetrate through building walls and vehicles and your skull and your skin.
	So that creates these very dangerous free radicals in your body that you've got to defend yourself against through a variety of methods.
	Good nutrition is one of the ways.
	Good sleep, lack of stress, and avoiding inflammatory foods.

	This is available in the powder form, not capsules currently, but in powder form.
	This can be blended easily into various drinks as well.
	So we've got these products and more available right now at HealthRangerStore.com and I think we've got freeze-dried organic corn in the number 10 cans as well.
	That's something that's been out of stock for a long time, so here we go.
	Long-term storable Essentially rodent-proof, number 10 cans, great for long-term storage.
	Freeze-dried, which retains the taste, the texture, the nutrients, the colors.
